AGILYSYS’ FISCAL 2016 FIRST QUARTER REVENUE INCREASES 16% TO $27.5 MILLION INCLUSIVE OF QUARTERLY RECORD $14.9 MILLION OF RECURRING REVENUE

Subscription Revenue Increases 23%

Alpharetta, GA - August 5, 2015 - Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a global provider of next-generation hospitality software solutions and services, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2016 first quarter.

Summary of Fiscal 2016 First Quarter Financial Results

Total net revenue was $27.5 million, compared to total net revenue of $23.7 million in the comparable prior-year period.

Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $14.9 million, or 54% of total net revenue, compared to $13.8 million, or 58% of total net revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2015. SaaS revenues for the first quarter increased 23% year over year and comprised 15.5% of total recurring revenues, compared to 13.6% of total recurring revenues in the first quarter of fiscal 2015.

Gross margin was 59.7% in the fiscal 2016 first quarter, compared to 61.8% in the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $1.2 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $0.5 million in the same period last year (see reconciliation below).

Net loss in the fiscal 2016 first quarter was $(0.2) million, or $(0.01) per diluted share, compared to a net loss $(2.2) million, or $(0.10) per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

James Dennedy, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “Our solid start to fiscal 2016, including 16% year over year quarterly revenue growth, which includes a 23% increase in subscription revenues, and an improvement in adjusted EBITDA, indicates improved traction with our strategic goals.

“The positive results in the quarter were driven by the compelling value proposition of both our license and subscription solutions, as well as the changes we have implemented in our sales and go to market approach. Our licensed and subscription offerings include and are increasingly sold in multiple product solution sales. Demand for our licensed offerings, in particular InfoGenesis, continues to grow and sales are now often complemented by sales of available rGuest platform products, including rGuest Pay, rGuest Seat, and rGuest Analyze. Demand for our property management systems also remains strong and sales of these solutions often similarly have an rGuest platform product in the solution sale. The momentum we are achieving following the changes in our sales and go to market approach provide us with a high level of confidence that we can consistently grow our market share in the gaming, hotels, resorts and managed food services, while maintaining our share in the cruise and RUSH (restaurants, universities, stadia and healthcare) hospitality verticals.”

Mr. Dennedy concluded, “We secured agreements with a significant number of new customers across our portfolio of solutions and hospitality verticals, completing sales to 45 new customers in the first quarter which marks our third consecutive quarter of year-over-year double digit growth in first-time customers. We continue to focus on maintaining strong capital and operational discipline as we transform our sales focus and organization to execute on high-value growth opportunities, primarily focused on growing higher margin subscription revenue. In addition, we continue to evolve our product portfolio to meet the current and future needs of hospitality operators to help them improve recruitment, increase wallet share and strengthen the connection with their guests. We believe the trends for the industry are healthy and we are executing on our plan to consistently strengthen our competitive advantages in the market place.”






Raises Fiscal 2016 Outlook
Agilysys today provided an update to its forecast for fiscal 2016 revenue and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) originally provided on May 28, 2015. The outlook for fiscal 2016 now contemplates full-year revenue of $106 - $108 million which is a moderately higher expectation for year over year revenue growth compared to previous expectations of revenue to be slightly above fiscal 2015 revenue of $103.5 million. The Company expects that its now higher revenue forecast will similarly translate to its expectation for higher Adjusted EBITDA compared to fiscal 2015 Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million. The Company continues to expect that gross margin for fiscal 2016 will be consistent with full year fiscal 2015 levels in the high 50% range.

Janine Seebeck, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our first quarter results demonstrate our success with key initiatives, including growing recurring revenue - in particular higher margin subscription revenues - as well as new customer business, which more than doubled compared to the prior year. We are also making consistent progress with our priority to prudently manage working capital as we focus on optimizing operating cash flows. Throughout the balance of the year, we will continue to strategically leverage our healthy balance sheet, which includes approximately $66 million in cash and cash equivalents, to invest in the development of new products and expect to end fiscal 2016 with over $50 million in cash and cash equivalents. As our next-generation product development investment cycle nears its completion later this year, we expect to generate positive free cash flow for fiscal 2017 as we also benefit from growth in subscription services bookings. Overall, we are pleased with the improvement across our business in the first quarter and with this solid start to the year, we now expect to deliver moderately higher year-over-year growth in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in fiscal 2016 as compared to our earlier expectations for year-over-year improvements.”
