To Our Shareholders
I am a milestone person. Anniversaries and achieved goals mark our journey and encourage reflection, but they also
reveal possibilities. As Shakespeare wrote, what s past is prologue - meaning, the past foreshadows the future.
September 2022 marked the 10th anniversary of i3 s founding, and this coming June will mark five years since our
IPO. With these milestones as a backdrop, I want to mention a few other achievements in 2022 that we think offer a
window into i3 s future. For example, this year was the second straight year that our revenue growth exceeded 40%.
We also expanded beyond the U.S. by adding a location in India, and we added significant talent and experience to
our executive team with a new Chief Technology Officer (Pete Panagakis), Chief Operating Officer (Paul Christians)
and President Public Sector (Chris Laisure).
Since our 2018 IPO almost five years ago, we have increased our employee count from around 300 to over 1600,
our revenue from $73 million in fiscal 2017 to $318 million in fiscal 2022, and deployed an average of almost $100
million per year for acquisitions. In that same time period, software and related services revenue has climbed from
approximately 5% in fiscal 2017 to 50% in fiscal 2022. These are incredible achievements for our team!
I want to personally thank each of you for your support. Our vision for i3 remains unchanged we are laser focused
on our strategic verticals, increasing our recurring revenues, and maintaining healthy margins all while promoting
an inviting and entrepreneurial culture. We think we are just getting started, and our past is evidence of where we
are going.
