FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES FISCAL 2007 SECOND QUARTER
NET INCOME INCREASES 28%
Monett, MO. February 7, 2007 - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY), a leading provider of integrated technology solutions that performs data processing for financial institutions, today announced second quarter fiscal 2007 results with a 13% increase in revenue, an increase of 11% in gross profit and a 28% increase in net income over the prior year quarter. For the first six months of fiscal 2007 revenue increased 12%, with an increase of 12% in gross profit and an increase of 20% in net income over the same six months in fiscal 2006.
For the quarter ended December 31, 2006, the company generated total revenue of $167.2 million compared to $147.4 million in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit increased to $73.0 million compared to $65.5 million in the second quarter of last fiscal year. Net income totaled $27.8 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $21.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share in the same quarter a year ago. The current quarter had a $.03 positive impact from the reinstatement of the Research and Development Credit (the "R&D Tax Credit") from January 2006 through December 2007, which without this impact net income would have been $.27 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.
For the first half of fiscal 2007, total revenue of $317.9 million was generated compared to $284.4 million for the first half of the prior year. Gross profit increased to $136.3 million compared to $122.0 million during the same period last fiscal year. Net income for the first half of fiscal 2007 was $49.2 million, or $0.53 per diluted share, compared to $41.1 million, or $0.44 per diluted share for the same six months in fiscal 2006. The reinstatement of the R&D Tax Credit had the same $.03 positive impact on earnings year to date, which without this impact net income would have been $.50 per diluted share for the six months ended December 31, 2006.
According to Jack Prim, CEO, "We continue to generate significant growth in all of our business lines that provide electronic transaction processing. We have now contracted with more than 350 banks for our Remote Deposit Capture solution, and the number of bank's commercial customers that are using this platform to convert paper checks to an electronic payment at their locations and the resulting transactions are increasing rapidly. Also, our recently announced acquisition of US Banking Alliance is exceeding our initial expectations as a result of the products' proven ability to help financial institutions improve their net interest margins, regardless of what core application software they use. USBA has generated record sales of its loan and deposit pricing solutions since the November acquisition, and the roster of clients, the majority of which are not our core clients, has now reached 400 financial institutions."
Operating Results
"We had a very solid quarter of license contracting and delivery. The quarter's license revenue contains a good mixture of our core and complementary product offerings and we had a nice contribution from both banking and credit union segments," stated Tony Wormington, President. "The components that make up our recurring revenue which include outsourcing, in-house maintenance and electronic payments all continue to grow at a steady pace. The growth in these offerings allows us to continue to maintain very solid gross margins by leveraging our existing infrastructure; particularly when combined with our manager's continued emphasis on the control of operating costs."

Hardware gross margins for the second quarter were 27% compared to 28% for the same quarter last year and increased to 28% for the first six months of fiscal 2007 compared to 27% for the same period a year ago primarily due to sales mix along with fluctuations in vendor rebates received on hardware sold in the current year.
Operating expenses increased 6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the same quarter a year ago primarily due to employee related expenses from increased headcount and depreciation expense. Selling and marketing expenses rose 5% in the current year second quarter to $13.0 million from $12.3 million for fiscal 2006 second quarter revenue and was 8% of total revenue for both periods.

Operating income increased 16% to $39.6 million, or 24% of second quarter total revenue, compared to $34.1 million, or 23% of total revenue in the second quarter of fiscal 2006. Provision for income taxes is 30.1% for the second quarter in fiscal 2007 compared to 37.0% last year due to the renewal of the Research and Experimentation Credit, which was retroactive to January 1, 2006.

"The Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006 was enacted in December 2006 and included the extension of the Research and Development Credit (the "R&D Tax Credit") from January 2006 through December 2007. Passage of this legislation had a significant tax benefit (approximately $3.0 million or $.03 per diluted share) in the second quarter of fiscal year 2007 as research credits generated from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, were recognized in this quarter. Had this discrete item not been recognized in this quarter, the effective tax rate for the quarter ended December 31, 2006 would have been 37.5%. Research credits generated in the 3rd and 4th quarters of fiscal year 2007 will be reflected in the computation of the estimated annual effective tax rate which will include the ongoing benefit of this credit," stated Kevin D. Williams, CFO.
For the second quarter of 2007, the bank systems and services segment revenue increased 19% to $139.9 million from $117.8 million in the same quarter a year ago.

The credit union segment gross profit was lower primarily due to a decrease in license revenue which has higher margins than other revenue components.
For the six months ended December 31, 2006, the bank systems and services segment revenue increased 15% to $264.6 million from $229.3 million with a gross margin of 44% for both periods. The credit union systems and services segment revenue decreased 3% to $53.3 million for the first half of fiscal 2007, with a gross margin of 37% from revenue of $55.1 million and gross margin of 40% in the same period a year ago.
