Current report
The following table sets forth a comparison of our subscriptions revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30 ($ in thousands):
Current report
For the three months ended September 30, 2026, the increase is primarily driven by a $3.3 million decline in G&A expense driven by lower personnel expense from bonuses and a $0.8 million decline in development costs. The increase is offset by a decline in transaction-based revenues and the corresponding reduction in merchant fees following the wind-down in the fourth quarter of 2025 of a state payment processing contract.
Current report
For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, PT segment operating income is essentially flat compared to prior period. Total revenues and total cost of revenues declines are primarily attributed to a decline of approximately $33.0 million in transaction-based revenues and the corresponding $28.7 million reduction in merchant fees, following the wind-down in the fourth quarter of 2025 of a state payment processing contract. The decline in transaction-based revenues is also partially offset by increases in subscription revenues and professional services revenues compared to prior period.

Previous report
The following table sets forth a comparison of our subscriptions revenue for the three and six months ended June 30 ($ in thousands):
Previous report
For the three months ended June 30, 2026, the increase in segment operating income is primarily driven by a $7.9 million increase in professional services revenue, due to timing of time and material projects and timing of specific reserves taken in prior periods, and other revenue from hardware sales. The increase is offset by a decline of approximately $12.5 million in transaction-based revenues, partially offset by a corresponding $11.0 million reduction in merchant fees, following the wind-down in the fourth quarter of 2025 of a state payment processing contract.
Previous report
For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the decrease in segment operating income is primarily driven by higher G&A expenses, including a $4.7 million write-off related to previously capitalized software projects. Also contributing to the decrease is a decline of approximately $24.8 million in transaction-based revenues, partially offset by a corresponding $21.5 million reduction in merchant fees, following the wind-down in the fourth quarter of 2025 of a state payment processing contract. Offsetting the decline in the PT operating income was a $6.4 million increase in the professional services revenue and other revenues from hardware sales.
