The next pertains to the third quarter of our fiscal 12 months 2024, which is the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Please consult with the slide presentation titled supplemental data on our web site for reference with this dialogue. Because of the anticipated sale of our Service provider Providers enterprise, now we have labeled that portion of our firm as discontinued operations.
The next will pertain to persevering with operations, which we additionally name RemainCo, for quarterly outcomes and the outlook part. This can be a transitional reporting interval as now we have introduced the sale, however haven’t but closed.
Revenues for the third quarter of fiscal 2024 declined 2% to $56 million from $57.3 million for Q2 — Q3 2023, reflecting natural progress from recurring sources, offset by declines in non-recurring sources.
SaaS and transaction-based software program revenues grew 8%, whereas funds revenues grew 9%. Non-recurring gross sales of software program licenses declined by roughly $2 million as anticipated, reflecting the continued shift to SaaS.
Skilled companies revenues declined by $1.1 million, principally a results of the delay in Celtic’s implementation with Manitoba brought on by the general public employees strike.
ARR elevated 4% to $181.3 million for Q3 2024, in comparison with $174.5 million for Q3 2023. Over 80% of our revenues within the quarter continued to return from recurring sources. Software program and associated companies represented 74% of whole revenues for Q3, with funds 21% and different 5%.

Adjusted EBITDA as a proportion of revenues declined to 23% from 25.3% for Q3 2023, principally reflecting $2 million much less in one-time software program license gross sales, which falls to the underside line within the quarter they land. This decline was partially offset by decrease company bills ensuing from the inner realignment mentioned on earlier quarterly calls. We now have offered a view of our income and adjusted EBITDA from persevering with operations for fiscal 2023 and the earlier quarters of fiscal 2024 within the supplemental data on our web site, together with reconciliations to the closest GAAP quantity.
Professional forma adjusted diluted earnings per share from persevering with operations was $0.07 for Q3 2024. This quantity excludes discontinued operations, however consists of consolidated curiosity expense of $0.23. Once more, please consult with the press launch for a full description and reconciliation.
Our steadiness sheet stays robust and well-positioned for 2025. At quarter finish, borrowings below the revolver web of money had been $341.7 million. Our consolidated leverage ratio was 3.6x. The present constraint is 5x below our $450 million revolving credit score.
On August 1, we acquired a allowing and licensing firm within the Public Sector for $18 million in money, plus 311,634 shares of Class A typical inventory. This acquisition will match effectively with our current companies and supply a progress car for the long run. We paid a a number of on the excessive finish of our vary as a consequence of above common progress. The acquisition has the same EBITDA margin profile as our current RemainCo enterprise, excluding company overhead.
Following the anticipated sale of our Service provider Providers enterprise, we can be a pure-play vertical software program and companies firm and plan to pay down all of our revolving credit score facility, leaving us loads of capability for enlargement in our current verticals.
Outlook, it is a transitionary 12 months, so I’ll first define our outlook for revenues and adjusted EBITDA from persevering with operations for fiscal 12 months 2024. We can not at the moment information fiscal 12 months 2024 professional forma adjusted diluted EPS as a result of we can not decide curiosity expense till we all know the cut-off date for the anticipated Service provider enterprise sale. I’ll then give steering for persevering with operations for fiscal 12 months 2025. The outlook for each time intervals don’t embody acquisitions that haven’t been introduced or transaction-related prices.
For fiscal 12 months 2024, our revised outlook follows: revenues $228 million to $234 million; adjusted EBITDA $56 million to $60 million. We proceed to count on high-single-digit natural income progress with annual EBITDA margin enchancment of fifty foundation factors to 100 foundation factors per 12 months starting in fiscal 12 months 2025. Some tailwinds that now we have recognized embody the Manitoba undertaking returning to a traditional cadence, continued momentum within the utilities market, and the SaaS transition changing into much less of a short-term drag.
The training enterprise may also lap the introduction of sure state subsidies for lunch, which started in the course of the back-to-school season in 2023. Whereas acquisitions that haven’t but closed or not included within the outlook, we do count on to renew acquisitions frequently following the anticipated sale of our Service provider enterprise.
For fiscal 12 months 2025, our revised outlook follows: revenues $243 million to $263 million; adjusted EBITDA $63 million to $71.5 million; depreciation and internally developed software program amortization $12 million to $14 million; money curiosity expense $1 million to $2 million; professional forma adjusted diluted EPS $1.05 to $1.25.

Nonetheless, we additionally proceed to keep up a powerful self-discipline to make sure the acquisitions meet our return aims and increase our choices in our respective markets.

Query-and-Reply Session
Operator
Girls and gents, presently, we’ll start the question-and-answer session. [Operator Instructions].
And our first query as we speak comes from John Davis from Raymond James. Please go forward along with your questions.
John Davis
Hey, good morning, guys. I simply needed to the touch on EBITDA outlook for each this 12 months and subsequent 12 months. I believe if we have a look at the mid-point, EBITDA can be down barely year-over-year for RemainCo. You known as out a number of totally different headwinds. By my math, for those who seem like $6 million to $7 million of headwinds, that will get you again to form of the ten% natural progress minus headwind this 12 months might give us some consolation on 10% natural EBITDA progress subsequent 12 months. However is it honest to say the headwinds you known as out are form of $6 million to $7 million? Or another shade in serving to us measurement the totally different headwinds you known as out in 2024?
Clay Whitson
I will give a little bit greater than that. Manitoba was a $3 million or is a $3 million headwind this 12 months. The SaaS transition is a $5 million headwind. And Training is a $4 million headwind this 12 months. So I get a $12 million headwind this 12 months, which shouldn’t repeat subsequent 12 months.
John Davis
Proper. And Clay, I’d assume that is high-margin enterprise, as I used to be speaking about EBITDA. So if we have a look at the EBITDA of $59 million, going ahead $58 million this 12 months, that $12 million, although, I believe you mentioned the license income may be very excessive margin. So I am simply wanting on the EBITDA information. So for those who take that $12 million of revs, possibly a 50% margin, that may get you again to form of a ten% EBITDA progress quantity for fiscal 2024. Is {that a} cheap assertion?
Clay Whitson
Sure. Sure, appropriate. I used to be — my numbers had been income numbers.
John Davis
Okay. No, that is useful. After which, Rick, you talked about or I neglect considered one of you, both Rick or Clay mentioned that the brand new acquisition, excessive finish of the a number of vary for higher progress and better progress. So I simply need to elaborate a little bit bit extra on the expansion profile of the August — the deal closed August 1.
Clay Whitson
We count on double-digit progress from that firm in fiscal 12 months 2025. Lately, it has been comfortably double-digit. They’ve the flexibility to win some bigger contracts. And so these can bump progress charges in any given 12 months.
John Davis
Okay. That is useful. After which final one for me, Clay, I believe the implied margin enlargement within the information for 2025 is about 150 foundation factors. Traditionally, you guys have been operating nearer to 50 foundation factors to 100 foundation factors. Is it a few of that top margin income anticipated that obtained pushed out coming in subsequent 12 months? Is that what’s driving? It sounds just like the acquisition is analogous margins. After which possibly ought to we nonetheless take into consideration 50 foundation factors to 100 foundation factors longer-term, name it 2026 and past? Is that honest at this level?
Clay Whitson
Properly, license software program gross sales is the very best margin, and we’re not anticipating a greater 12 months in that — in 2025. Revenues on the mid-point are rising 9.5% and whereas bills is likely to be rising on the order of seven%. In order that’s resulting in and that is some leftover results of the inner realignment that we have talked about in earlier quarters.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from Matt VanVliet from BTIG. Please go forward along with your query.
Matt VanVliet
Hey, good morning. Thanks for taking the query. I suppose, if you have a look at the acquisition simply introduced, I suppose, how a lot overlap do you could have in a few of these markets promoting into form of the suitable consumers there? And then you definately additionally talked about the flexibility to raised monetize funds by way of that platform. What, if any, time-frame will it take to construct these integrations into the product?
Paul Christians
Hi Matt, that is Paul. There’s — now we have the same product that’s needing — would want consideration to be refined. And so this can be our benchmark product in that enviornment, and we’ll — now we have begun planning to transition our historic to our new. The associated fee constructions below the help mechanisms for the brand new product providing, new acquisition are appreciably extra favorable. And that’s in course of as we converse in addition to different advertising exercise to an expanded i3 buyer base.
Rick Stanford
And I will add to that and say that our current Public Sector group has been working with this acquisition prior to shut. And we have exchanged a number of offers and quoted collectively on a number of offers. So we count on to get traction by the best way.
Matt VanVliet
Okay. Very useful. After which as you have a look at the M&A pipeline, this deal got here in, you talked about both on the excessive finish or simply above form of the everyday vary. Is there any purpose to suppose that now that you’ve got a much bigger platform, you have form of replatformed or modernized a few of your different merchandise that, on the greater finish of the vary is possibly extra according to — if the targets you are going to have a look at, one thing a little bit greater progress, greater margin form of readymade? Or ought to we nonetheless count on form of a broad vary of potential offers coming by way of within the subsequent couple of years?
Clay Whitson
I imply, these ranges now we have, our historical past that we’re quoting. However clearly, if one thing is rising 20% plus, it deserves the next a number of. If one thing is 100% SaaS, it deserves the next a number of. In order that they’re not likely strict guidelines, however simply following historical past, I’d — I’d guess they’d stay in our regular vary, however we’re versatile if firms have traits that warrant them.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from Charles Nabhan from Stephens. Please go forward along with your query.
Charles Nabhan
Good morning and thanks for taking my query. I needed to get a little bit extra shade across the acquisition and ensure my understanding of the mathematics and affect primarily based in your feedback. You had mentioned it is the highest finish of your vary, which, I suppose, if I am interested by that appropriately, would suggest one thing a little bit greater than $2 million in EBITDA. And assuming a margin according to the e-book that will get you to about 7-ish from a income standpoint. Is that form of a good mind-set about it? And likewise needed to verify that, that’s included within the fiscal 12 months 2025 information as effectively.
Clay Whitson
Sure. That is an affordable method, Chuck. And it’s included within the information.
Charles Nabhan
Acquired it. So I suppose, that being the case, ought to we take into consideration — I suppose, that may get you to natural roughly within the 6% to 7% vary, if I am interested by that appropriately. I suppose, my follow-up could be with respect to the information, I do know you are not giving quarterly steering, however as we take into consideration the cadence by way of the 12 months, ought to we give it some thought as form of a gradual step-up as we transfer by way of fiscal 12 months 2025? Or do you anticipate any disproportionate acceleration at any level within the 12 months?
Clay Whitson
This autumn, our September quarter, is at all times our greatest quarter. Again-to-school is the strongest throughout that quarter. I’d have a look at historical past as a seasonality information. Our Q3 is often very flat on an natural foundation with our Q2. After which, the cost processing, which is much less of an element now, however it’s weakest within the calendar fourth quarter. So I’d simply have a look at prior 12 months historical past to be one of the best information for that. We do not have as a lot — the one-time software program gross sales had been $10 million, $10.5 million in 2023. It is lower than $5 million in 2024. In order that’s much less of a distortion than it was in prior years.
Charles Nabhan
Acquired it. Okay. And as a follow-up, I had a form of a excessive degree query, it appears like issues are trending fairly effectively from a requirement and a enterprise standpoint, which is in line with feedback from considered one of your opponents a couple of weeks in the past. I needed to get your ideas on a number of the underlying tailwinds to that demand. I do know they talked about cybersecurity considerations as a catalyst. I do know there’s nonetheless some federal funds on the market which are offering a tailwind as effectively. However any further ideas round simply the demand atmosphere and the underlying tailwinds could be useful.
Paul Christians
Properly, we agree that cyber is a priority, and it takes further assets and it can also have the affect of taking longer to get individuals stay as you coordinate throughput in all of the methods, to ensure they’re there. From a normal demand perspective, given our — given the markets that we’re centered on, we’re pretty sturdy with a heavy orientation in utilities and public.
Utility payments must be paid each month, and so they’re not likely taking place. So our combine for that offers us a pleasant diploma of safety that we do not — that others might not essentially expertise. And usually, from a buyer demand and functionality system of issues, we’re not likely seeing much less demand.
Our RFP actions are up, and our engagement with prospects making an attempt to modernize are additionally up, however prospects even have constraints on needing to do this throughout the complete spectrum of their software program companies. So we’re increasing our positions on configurability for software program to make transitions for them simpler and make it extra seamless and likewise improve the flexibility to facilitate their information transitions within the course of.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from James Faucette from Morgan Stanley. Please go forward along with your query.
Unidentified Analyst
Hi, thanks for taking my query. I am asking a query on behalf of James. I used to be questioning what the aggressive atmosphere is wanting like within the software program area now that you are a solely software-focused firm, if there’s any modifications there. After which secondly, what do you suppose your key differentiator versus friends is like now with this new realignment?
Paul Christians
It is comparatively constant to what it has been. We had been closely centered on software program after which the downstream monetization of that with built-in funds. In order that hasn’t modified. Our alignments into our verticals and our subverticals has allowed us to be extra responsive and guarantee execution and continuity of the uncertainty of supply throughout our spectrum. I believe that is without doubt one of the key differentiators as effectively that once we promote one thing, we do execute on it and we do get it stay and that is a essential piece in our enterprise that is culturally essential to us.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from Alex Markgraff from KeyBanc Capital Markets. Please go forward along with your query.
Alex Markgraff
Hey everybody thanks for taking my query. Only one for me for Paul and/or Clay. Simply form of curious to get your ideas on what the expansion alternative round cross-sell is and form of what that would characterize on an annual foundation when it comes to progress contribution. Thanks.
Paul Christians
That is Paul. I will take that after which I will begin with that one. The cross-sell alternatives are profound. They’re vital. We began that a number of years in the past with our preliminary UPO providing after which every of our steps since then have been able to additional refine our market providing and increase that. And our — and we’re — through the realignments, we’re organizationally extremely outlined and extremely efficient on with the ability to execute in that enviornment. So we predict these are profound as we’re doing that.
By way of what that may imply for us, I am comparatively recent on this position, so I have not had the chance to essentially tie all these numbers again up as we coalesce round these segments. In order that can be for a future time.
Operator
And our subsequent query comes from Peter Heckmann from D.A. Davidson. Please go forward along with your query.
Peter Heckmann
Hey, good morning, everybody. I needed to follow-up on Manitoba; simply see for those who had any further line of sight. Remind us that what continues to be to be acknowledged there and you probably have line of sight as to when it will get re-ramped and once we would possibly see that undertaking accomplished.
Geoff Smith
That is Geoff. So there may be roughly US$7 million, assuming you acknowledged on that undertaking. So far as the timeline of when that can be acknowledged, what’s in our forecast proper now could be about half of that this coming fiscal 12 months and about half the following 12 months. So far as climate will keep on that timeline, we’ll simply must maintain you apprised to that. This can be a undertaking that has skilled vital delays over the intervals that we have had it. And we predict we have the numbers dialed in conservatively. However sure, we’d simply warning that we do not have excellent line of sight on this.
Peter Heckmann
Proper. And so actually, once we do hit these milestones, ought to we count on it to be comparatively lumpy?
Geoff Smith
No, it truly will in all probability are available decently easy. This can be a undertaking that was bought earlier than we did this acquisition, and it was utilizing primarily skilled companies, not pursuing transactional income, SaaS income, like we’d generally wish to see. Ultimately, a pleasant chunk of upkeep income will activate, on this undertaking, however we’re a little bit methods out from that. In order we form of work in direction of completion, basically, it is getting acknowledged on a % full foundation. In order our estimate form of strikes ahead, the income will form of are available regularly.
Peter Heckmann
Okay. That is useful. Acquired it, obtained it. Okay. After which simply on the American Rescue Plan, you have not actually known as that out as an actual driver or catalyst for spend essentially. However I believe the funds must be earmarked right here by the top of the 12 months. Do you suppose that is going to trigger any form of finish of 12 months price range flush that or would now we have already seen it?
Geoff Smith
The American Rescue Plan.
Paul Christians
Sure. I believe we — I do not imagine it’ll. I believe we — what we’ll see, we have already largely seen.
Peter Heckmann
All proper. Admire it. Thanks.
Clay Whitson
It’s exhausting for us to essentially have visibility into that. It is no matter our purchasers select to inform us about it, which and what they find out about it, it is form of a murky factor for us to get our arms round.

Our subsequent query comes from Rufus Hone from BMO Capital Markets. Please go forward along with your query.
Rufus Hone
Hey guys, good morning. Thanks. So possibly only a numbers associated query, and Clay, I believe you known as out about $12 million of income headwinds in 2024. So if I modify the 2024 income information for these $12 million of headwinds, then seems just like the mid-point of the 2025 income information implies about 4% progress year-over-year. So I suppose, what do you could occur past these headwinds rolling off to get again to the high-single-digit natural progress? And what are your ideas round timing? Thanks.
Clay Whitson
Properly, so there are these headwinds, which reverse. On prime of that, now we have been by way of an inner realignment, which we predict will affect our gross sales group favorably. But it surely’s discovering a little bit time to get its footing, new fee plans, new organizational constructions to unify the gross sales group versus being in smaller teams of the businesses we bought. I additionally imagine that the carve-out transaction we have been engaged in for the higher a part of the 12 months has been a little bit little bit of a distraction the place we’ll be very completely satisfied to refocus all of our efforts on simply rising the software program and companies enterprise.
