JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES FISCAL 2006 THIRD QUARTER
-------------------------------------------------
PROFIT INCREASES 21 PERCENT
---------------------------
Monett, MO. May 8, 2006 - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (Nasdaq: JKHY), a
leading provider of integrated technology solutions and outsourced data
processing for financial institutions, today announced third quarter fiscal
2006 results with an 8 percent increase in revenue, an 11 percent increase
in gross profit, and a 21 percent increase in net income over the third
quarter of fiscal 2005. For the nine months of fiscal 2006, revenue
increased 9 percent, with an increase of 14 percent in gross profit and an
increase of 20 percent in net income over the same nine months in fiscal
2005.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2006, the company generated total revenue of
$145.5 million compared to $134.4 million in the same quarter a year ago.
Gross profit increased to $63.7 million compared to $57.3 million in the
third quarter of last fiscal year. Net income totaled $23.5 million, or
$0.25 per diluted share, compared to $19.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted
share in the same quarter a year ago.
For the first nine months of fiscal 2006, total revenue of $429.9 million
was generated compared to $394.4 million for the first nine months of fiscal
2005. Gross profit increased to $185.7 million compared to $162.6 million
during the same period last fiscal year. Net income for the nine months of
fiscal 2006 was $64.5 million, or $0.69 per diluted share, compared to $53.8
million, or $0.58 per diluted share for the same nine months in fiscal 2005.
According to Jack Prim, CEO, "We are pleased with our overall performance in
the quarter. Our services business continues to show strong growth, with
particularly strong volume growth in all of our electronic transactions
businesses. Our bank segment also experienced the largest software license
fee quarter in the history of the company. However, license fees in our
credit union segment were somewhat lower than expected due a lower than
average transaction size, and a larger than expected percentage of
outsourcing transactions in the quarter and year-to-date compared to last
year. Furthermore, our management team maintained a strong focus on
expenses to deliver solid margins and earnings despite the changes in our
credit union segments sales mix."
Operating Results
"We continue to experience strong demand for of our products and services.
The number of new core customers contracting for our flagship products is
significantly higher than last year, and these contracts typically include a
large number of our complementary products," stated Tony Wormington,
President. "These new customers combined with our ongoing success cross
selling additional complementary products and services to our existing
customers continue to increase all of the components of our recurring
revenue, and ultimately expand our gross margins. We expect to continue our
gross margin improvement as we work to maintain these sales levels, and as
we further leverage our infrastructure to generate operational and cost
efficiencies."
License revenue for the third quarter was $20.6 million, or 14 percent of
third quarter total revenue, compared to $21.0 million, or 16 percent of the
third quarter total revenue a year ago. Support and service revenue
increased to $106.1 million, or 73 percent of total revenue in third quarter
of fiscal 2006 from $92.5 million, or 69 percent of total revenue for the
same period a year ago. The increase in Support and Service revenue was due
to increases in every component of our recurring revenue which includes
electronic transactions processing, outsourcing and our in-house support;
the only component of this line of revenue that had a small decrease this
quarter compared to the prior year was implementation services. Hardware
sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2006 decreased to $18.8 million, or 13
percent of total revenue, from $20.9 million, or 15 percent of total revenue
in the third quarter of last fiscal year.
For the nine months of fiscal 2006, license revenue decreased to $58.3
million, or 13 percent of total revenue, compared to $62.6 million, or
16 percent of total revenue a year ago. Support and service revenue
contributed 73 percent to total revenue, or $312.0 million of the total
revenue for the nine months of the current fiscal year, compared to $263.9
million, or 67 percent of total revenue for the nine months of the prior
fiscal year. The increase in Support and Service revenue is due to solid
increases in every component of this revenue line for the first nine months
compared to the prior year. Hardware sales year-to-date was $59.6 million
compared to $67.9 million for the same period last year. Hardware revenue
was 14 percent of total revenue for fiscal 2006 and 17 percent of revenue
year-to-date in fiscal 2005.
Cost of sales for the third quarter increased to $81.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2006 from $77.1 million for the same three months
ended March 31, 2005. Third quarter gross profit increased 11 percent to
$63.7 million with a 44 percent gross margin, compared to $57.3 million and
a 43 percent gross margin for the same period a year ago.
Cost of sales for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 increased 5 percent
to $244.2 million from $231.9 million for the same period ended March 31,
2005. Year-to-date gross profit of fiscal 2006 increased 14 percent to
$185.7 million with a 43 percent gross margin, compared to $162.6 million or
a 41 percent gross margin year-to-date of fiscal 2005.
Gross margin on license revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2006 was 99
percent compared to 95 percent a year ago for the same period. Gross
margins for the nine months of fiscal 2006 and 2005 were 96 percent and 93
percent, respectively, primarily due to a reduction in license revenue
delivered through reseller agreements.
Support and service gross margin increased to 36 percent in the third
quarter of fiscal 2006 from 34 percent a year ago. Support and service
gross margin increased to 36 percent in the nine months of fiscal 2006 from
32 percent for the nine months in fiscal 2005 mainly due to revenue growth
for the quarter and year-to-date of the current fiscal year increasing at a
much faster rate than costs, as we are able to leverage our resources and
control costs. Hardware gross margins were lower for the third quarter at
28 percent compared to 30 percent for the same quarter last year. Year-to-
date gross margins in the current fiscal year were 27 percent, while last
fiscal year hardware gross margin was 28 percent, primarily due to sales mix
along with reduced vendor rebates received on hardware sold in the current
year.
Operating expenses increased 10 percent for the third quarter of fiscal 2006
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 6 percent in the current year third quarter to $12.3
million, or 8 percent of total revenue, from $11.6 million or 9 percent
of total 2005 third quarter revenue. Research and development expenses
increased 9 percent to $8.4 million from $7.7 million, while remaining at 6
percent of total revenue for the third quarters in fiscal 2006 and 2005.
General and administrative costs increased 19 percent to $8.2 million or 6
percent of revenue, in the third quarter of fiscal year 2006, from $6.9
million, or 5 percent of revenue for the same quarter a year ago.
Operating expenses increased 12 percent for fiscal 2006 year-to-date
compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to employee related
expenses from increased headcount, depreciation expense, acquisitions and
increased expenses associated with our banking and credit union annual
National User Group Meetings. Selling and marketing expenses rose 5 percent
in the same period to $36.0 million, or 8 percent of total revenue from
$34.3 million or 9 percent of total revenue. Research and development
expenses increased 12 percent to $23.2 million from $20.6 million, while
remaining at 5 percent of total revenue for nine months in fiscal 2006 and
2005. General and administrative costs increased 21 percent to $27.2
million or 6 percent of revenue for the nine months of fiscal 2006 from
$22.5 million, also 6 percent of revenue for the same nine months a year
ago.
Operating income increased 12 percent to $34.7 million, or 24 percent of
third quarter revenue, compared to $31.0 million, or 23 percent of revenue
in the third quarter of fiscal 2005. Operating income increased 17 percent
to $99.3 million, or 23 percent of year-to-date revenue, compared to $85.2
million, or 22 percent of revenue year-to-date in fiscal 2005.
Provision for income taxes decreased 2 percent in the current third quarter
in fiscal 2006 compared to the third quarter in fiscal 2005. Provision for
income taxes for the nine months ended March 31, 2006 increased 10 percent
and is 35.5 percent of income before income taxes compared to 37.5 percent
of income before income taxes for the same nine month period in fiscal 2005.
The effective tax rate change is due to the manufacturing deduction and the
reevaluation of effective state tax rates. The third quarter tax rate is
lower due to the year to date adjustment made during the quarter. Third
quarter net income totaled $23.5 million, or $0.25 per diluted share,
compared to $19.4 million, or $0.21 per diluted share in the third quarter
of fiscal 2005. Year-to-date net income totaled $64.5 million, or $0.69
per diluted share, compared to $53.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share in
the prior year.
According to Kevin Williams, CFO, "The net results of the quarter were in-
line with our expectations, with the only shortfall being in license revenue
in the credit union segment. The Company did get a positive impact from the
change in the effective tax rate for the quarter and year-to-date, which
this should be the approximate effective tax rate going forward. Also,
during the quarter we completed the initial implementation of our new
internal accounting system, which has gone very well and is on schedule."
For the third quarter of 2006, the bank systems and services segment
revenue increased 15 percent to $120.1 million, with a gross margin of 45
percent from $104.2 million and a gross margin of 42 percent in the same
quarter a year ago. The credit union systems and services segment revenue

the third quarter of 2006 from $30.1 million and a gross margin of 44
percent in the same period a year ago.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2006, the bank systems and services
segment revenue increased 11 percent to $349.3 million, with a gross margin
of 44 percent from $315.4 million and a gross margin of 42 percent a year
ago. The credit union systems and services segment revenue increased 2
percent to $80.6 million for the nine months of fiscal 2006, with a gross
margin of 39 percent from $79.1 million and gross margin of 37 percent in
the same period a year ago.
