JACK HENRY & ASSOCIATES FISCAL 2011 THIRD QUARTER
NET INCOME INCREASES 5%

Monett, MO. May 3, 2011- Jack Henry & Associates, Inc. (NASDAQ: JKHY), a leading provider of integrated technology solutions that performs data processing for financial institutions, today announced third quarter fiscal 2011 results with an 11% increase in revenue, an increase of 10% in gross profit and a 5% increase in net income over the third quarter of fiscal 2010. For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, revenue increased 18%, with an increase of 18% in gross profit, and an increase of 15% in net income compared to last year.

For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, the company generated total revenue of $240.2 million compared to $215.5 million in the same quarter a year ago. Gross profit increased to $95.3 million compared to $86.5 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2010. Net income totaled $33.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $31.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share in the same quarter a year ago.

For the nine months ended March 31, 2011, total revenue of $717.6 million was generated compared to $608.7 million in fiscal 2010. Gross profit increased to $295.1 million compared to $250.0 million during the same period last fiscal year. Net income for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 totaled $100.9 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $87.9 million, or $1.03 per diluted share for the same nine months in fiscal 2010.

According to Jack Prim, CEO, “We are pleased to report another solid performance in our third fiscal quarter, with record revenue and net income and solid organic revenue growth. Against a backdrop of ongoing improvement in the economy we have seen increased sales activity levels and results. While license fees remain difficult to predict due to both the one-time nature of those sales and the increased customer preference for hosted solutions, support and services continued to show strong growth with a 15% increase in the quarter. Our manager’s focus on cost management is reflected in the increased operating income of 16% from the 11% increase in total revenue.”

Operating Results

“Support and services revenue grew 15% for the quarter and 21% year to date, compared to last year,” stated Tony Wormington, president. “The largest contributor to the growth within this line was our electronic payments revenue which grew 35% compared to the prior year quarter, and has increased 50% year to date compared to the same period last fiscal year. Electronic payments represent 33% of our total revenue for the quarter and 32% year to date. Another large contributor to this line is our OutLink or outsourcing services which grew 10% for the quarter and 12% year to date, which is driven by both new customers electing this type of service delivery but also due to the continued movement of our existing in-house customers electing to migrate to this model. Our one-time implementation revenue which represents 7% of total revenue for both the quarter and year to date, has had significant growth this year of 13% for the quarter and 17% year to date compared to the prior year periods.”

License revenue for the third quarter decreased 21% to $13.0 million, or 5% of third quarter total revenue, compared to $16.4 million, or 8% of third quarter total revenue a year ago. Support and service revenue increased 15%, expanding to $210.1 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from $182.1 million for the same period a year ago. Support and service revenue grew to 87% of fiscal 2011 third quarter total revenue from 84% of total revenue last year. Hardware sales in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was $17.1 million or 7% of third quarter total revenue, compared to $17.1 million, or 8% of total revenue for the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, license revenue decreased 5% to $37.9 million, or 5% of total revenue, from $39.8 million, or 7% of total revenue a year ago. There was growth in all components of support and service revenue in the nine months to March 31, 2011 resulting in a 21% increase in support and service revenue, which expanded to $633.1 million from $522.2 million for the same period a year ago. Support and service revenue grew to 88% of fiscal 2011 total revenue to date from 86% of total revenue last year.

Gross margin for the nine month period ended March 31, 2011 decreased to 88% from 90% in the same period last year. The decrease is primarily due to an increase in the amount of third party software delivered.

Support and service gross margin increased to 38% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 from 37% in the same period a year ago. Support and service gross margin remained consistent at 39% for the nine months of fiscal 2011 and for the same period last year.

Operating expenses increased 5% for the third quarter of fiscal 2011 compared to the same period a year ago primarily due to increases in research and development costs, resulting largely from the acquisition of iPay Technologies Holding Company, LLC (“iPay”) on June 4, 2010. Selling and marketing expenses increased 1% in the third quarter to $16.9 million from $16.8 million in the prior year’s third quarter and decreased from 8% of total revenue to 7% for the quarter.

General and administrative costs remained level at $12.1 million for the quarter in both fiscal 2011 and 2010, being 5% of total revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 and 6% of total revenue for the same quarter a year ago.

For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, operating expenses increased 17% to $136.9 million, compared to $117.0 million for the same period a year ago, primarily due to increased employee-related expenses resulting from the three fiscal 2010 acquisitions, being iPay (noted above), Goldleaf Financial Solutions, Inc. (“GFSI”) on October 1, 2009 and PEMCO Technology Services, Inc. (“PTSI”) on October 29, 2009. Selling and marketing expenses increased 15% in the nine months ended March 31, 2011 to $50.3 million from $43.8 million in the prior year, and remained at 7% of total revenue for both fiscal years. Research and development expenses increased 29% to $46.9 million for fiscal 2011 year to date, from $36.5 million last year. Research and development expenses increased to 7% of total revenue from 6% of total revenue in the prior year.

For the third quarter of fiscal 2011, operating income increased 16% to $50.5 million, or 21% of total revenue, compared to $43.7 million, or 20% of total revenue, for the same period a year ago. Provision for income taxes for the third quarter increased to 32.3% of income from continuing operations from 27.2% during last year’s third quarter. The increase in the effective rate is due primarily to benefits provided by the Domestic Production Activities Deduction (IRC Section 199) recognized during the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Third quarter net income totaled $33.1 million, or $0.38 per diluted share, compared to $31.6 million, or $0.37 per diluted share, in the third quarter of fiscal 2010.

Operating income increased 19% to $158.3 million for the first nine months of fiscal 2011 compared to $133.0 million for the same period a year ago.

Year to date net income totaled $100.9 million for fiscal 2011, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared to $87.9 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, for fiscal 2010.

According to Kevin Williams, CFO, “Overall results for the quarter were mostly in-line with our internal budget. We continue to generate strong EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization). With depreciation of $10.5 million and amortization of $12.1 million during the quarter our EBITDA was $73.1 million which represents an 18% increase compared to the same period last year. Year to date EBITDA is $226.0 million compared to $185.0 million a year ago, which represents an increase of 22%, compared to the same period last year. Free cash flows (cash flows from operations less cap-ex, capitalized software and dividends) have increased to $46.3 million from $13.8 million year to date compared to the prior year or a 236% increase.”

For the third quarter of 2011, the bank systems and services segment revenue increased 7% to $183.5 million, with a gross margin of 40%, from $170.8 million in revenue with a gross margin of 41% in the same period in fiscal 2010.

The significant increase in credit union segment revenues relates primarily to the acquisition of iPay.
