Posted online

The Monett-based financial industry software firm reported earnings of $59.3 million, or 77 cents per diluted share, compared with $69 million, or 89 cents per diluted share, a year earlier, according to a news release.

“Our operating margins continue to show the headwinds created by the double costs related to the migration to our new payments platform and the new pay-for-performance bonus program that we rolled out at the beginning of the year, which is utilizing a portion of the savings from the (Tax Cuts and Jobs Act),” Jack Henry Chief Financial Officer Kevin Williams said in the release.

Fiscal third-quarter financial notes:
• Revenue was up 2% to $380 million.
• Services and support revenue, which make up 62% of total revenue, dipped 1% to $234 million.
