Impact of Industry Consolidation and M&A on Revenue Outlook
Management acknowledged potential revenue headwinds from industry consolidation, macroeconomic uncertainty, and renewal pricing pressure, but remains confident in long-term growth.
The recent large bank merger includes a Jack Henry core payment and solution client, with no current indication of contract termination.
Conversations with the involved parties suggest contract changes would occur in fiscal '27, not '26, minimizing immediate impact.
Management emphasized that no client currently represents a substantial portion of revenue, reducing the risk of M&A-related disruptions.
Short-term revenue impacts from M&A activity are expected to be temporary, with long-term growth prospects intact.
The company highlighted that even with M&A headwinds, their growth remains above industry averages, supported by larger deal wins.
