pursue strategic acquisitions that deepen its position in core public-sector verticals,

while preserving optionality for buybacks. The recent insurance-verification deal

exemplifies this strategy, adding a market-leading Transportation asset with state-

level expansion, SaaS-like revenue, and potential cross-sell opportunities across

payments, data services, and broader DMV / motor-carrier workflows.

Investors likely to remain focused on the path to re-accelerating organic growth

and proving margin durability, particularly given the post-divestiture reset.

Margins declined ~50 bps to 28.8% in F2Q, reflecting JusticeTech investments,

higher hosting costs, and declining professional services revenue. While

management reiterated their 50-100 bps annual long-term margin expansion target,

we think the near-term setup is complicated by a further deterioration in non-

recurring professional services.
