- If those fees were netted out, consolidated non-GAAP operating margin for the quarter would have been approximately 220 basis points higher.
Cash Flow and Debt
- Cash flows from operations and free cash flow were negative this quarter, mainly due to incremental cash tax payments related to IRC Section 174 capitalization rules.
- On a pro forma basis, excluding the Section 174 cash taxes, year-to-date free cash flow would be approximately $120 million, up 19% over last year.
- Term debt was not paid down in Q2 due to elevated cash tax payments, but debt payments will be prioritized as cash flow accelerates in the second half of the year.
- Total outstanding debt at the end of Q2 was $875 million, with cash and investments of approximately $148 million.
2023 Guidance
- Expected total revenues between $1.94 billion and $1.965 billion, implying organic growth of approximately 8%.
- Expected GAAP diluted EPS between $3.87 and $4.02, with potential significant variation due to stock option activity on the GAAP effective tax rate.

- Expected interest expense of approximately $25 million, including noncash amortization of debt discounts and issuance costs.
Seasonality of Transaction Revenues
- Transaction revenues are expected to decline sequentially in Q3 and Q4.
- Transaction revenues are driven by factors such as deadlines and the number of business days.
- Q2 typically has the highest transaction revenues, while Q4 has the seasonal low with fewer business days and less activity around the holidays.
- Contractual changes in one state enterprise agreement will impact revenue in Q3, including a move from a gross to net model for payments.
