FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES FIRST QUARTER FISCAL 2014

ENDS WITH 17% INCREASE IN NET INCOME

Monett, MO, November 5, 2013 - Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: JKHY), a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry, today announced first quarter fiscal 2014 results with a 9% increase in revenue, an increase of 11% in gross profit and a 17% increase in net income over the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2013, the company generated total revenue of $295.7 million compared to $271.0 million in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit increased to $128.7 million from $115.9 million in the first quarter of last fiscal year. Net income in the current quarter was $49.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to $42.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share in the same quarter a year ago.

According to Jack Prim, CEO, “We are pleased to again announce record revenue and earnings for the quarter driven by strong organic revenue growth. Continued strong sales performances in all three of our marketed brands fueled the growth in revenue and the record revenue backlog."

Operating Results

“Our support and services line of revenue, which currently represents 91% of our total revenue, continues to drive our overall revenue growth,” stated Tony Wormington, President. “Support and Services revenue grew organically 10% in the quarter compared to the prior year quarter. Electronic payments continues to lead the way within this line of revenue with 15% growth in the quarter, followed closely by the growth in our OutLink (data and item processing) offering with 14% growth. The growth in our OutLink offering is driven by both new core sales, which the majority elects the outsourced delivery model; and the continued movement of our existing in-house customer electing to migrate to the outsourced delivery model.”

License revenue for the first quarter decreased to $11.8 million, or 4% of first quarter total revenue, from $12.9 million, or 5% of first quarter total revenue a year ago. Support and service revenue increased 10% to $269.5 million, or 91% of total revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 from $244.6 million, or 90% of total revenue for the same period a year ago. Within support and service revenue, electronic payment services (which include ATM/debit/credit card transaction processing, bill payment, remote deposit capture and ACH transaction processing services) had the largest growth of $14.3 million or 15% in the first quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. Hardware sales in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 increased 6% to $14.3 million, from $13.6 million in the first quarter of last fiscal year. Hardware revenue was 5% of total revenue in both periods.

Cost of sales for the first quarter increased 8% to $166.9 million from $155.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Gross profit increased 11% to $128.7 million for the first quarter this fiscal year from $115.9 million last year. Gross margin was 44% for the first quarter, compared to 43% in the same period last year.

Gross margin on license revenue for the first quarter of fiscal 2014 was 88% compared to 92% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. The change in license gross margin is a result of fluctuations in the sales mix of products delivered. Support and service gross margin was 43% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, up from 41% in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Hardware gross margins increased for the first quarter at 24% compared to 22% for the same quarter last year.

Operating expenses increased 6% in the first quarter of fiscal 2014 compared to the same quarter a year ago primarily due to increased selling and marketing expenses. Selling and marketing expenses increased 6% in the current year first quarter to $21.5 million, or 7% of total revenue, from $20.2 million, or 7% of prior year first quarter revenue. Research and development expenses increased 7% to $15.7 million, or 5% of total revenue, from $14.6 million, or 5% of total revenue, for the first quarter in fiscal 2013. General and administrative costs increased 5% in the current year first quarter to $14.3 million, or 5% of total revenue, from $13.6 million, or 5% of total revenue, in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

Operating income increased 15% to $77.3 million, or 26% of first quarter revenue, compared to $67.5 million, or 25% of revenue in the first quarter of fiscal 2013. Provision for income taxes increased 15% in the current first quarter compared to the same quarter in fiscal 2013 and is 35.5% of income before income taxes this quarter compared to 36.0% of income before income taxes for the same period in fiscal 2013. The tax rate was lower due primarily to the effect of the Research and Experimentation Credit not being retroactively extended until January 2013. First quarter net income totaled $49.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share, compared to $42.5 million, or $0.49 per diluted share in the first quarter of fiscal 2013.

According to Kevin Williams, CFO, "Our margins improved slightly as we constantly focus on cost control and continue leveraging our infrastructure primarily through our electronic payments and outsourcing models, which combined make up 56% of our total revenue. Also, with 80% of our total revenue being considered recurring revenue, due to the nature of the contract, along with our current strong backlog position, it provides us very good visibility into future periods."
