Alpharetta, GA - June 9, 2016 - Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a global provider of next-generation hospitality software solutions and services, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2016 fourth quarter and full year ended March 31, 2016.

Summary of Fiscal 2016 Fourth Quarter Financial Results

Total net revenue was $31.9 million, compared to total net revenue of $28.7 million in the comparable prior-year period.

Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $15.6 million, or 49% of total net revenue, compared to $14.5 million, or 51% of total net revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2015. SaaS revenues for the fourth quarter increased 33% year over year and comprised 18% of total recurring revenues, compared to 14% of total recurring revenues in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.

Gross margin was 55% in the fiscal 2016 fourth quarter, compared to 51% in the prior-year period.

Net loss in the fiscal 2016 fourth quarter was $(1.5) million, or $(0.07) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(5.4) million, or $(0.24) per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The prior-year period included a total of $2.4 million, or $0.11 per share, in asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments and restructuring and severance charges.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $1.0 million, compared to an Adjusted EBITDA loss of $(0.6) million in the same period last year (see reconciliation below).

Jim Dennedy, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “In the fiscal 2016 fourth quarter we generated 11% revenue growth, including a 33% year-over-year increase in subscription-based revenues. The solid fourth quarter results concluded a year of significant growth for Agilysys in which total net revenue increased 16% for the year. More impressively, the total contract value of bookings of subscription-based business increased more than 150% year over year.

“We grew our installed point of sale end points approximately 30% to over 35,000 end points at fiscal 2016 year end, while the number of hotel rooms managed by our property management systems increased approximately 3% to more than 236,000 rooms. Revenue from rGuest platform based solutions represented approximately 5% of total revenue in fiscal 2016, and momentum for this new hospitality platform is growing. We expect more success in fiscal 2017 as we recently announced the general availability of rGuest Stay for limited service hotels and expect that rGuest Buy, which is demonstrating success in multiple trials, will become generally available in the first half of fiscal 2017.

“Our business is benefiting today from our success in addressing market demand through our new platform products and key enhancements for our iconic solutions. We believe our rGuest and iconic solutions provide significant value to a growing list of customers that will lead to another year of positive momentum in our operating results for fiscal 2017.”







Summary of Fiscal 2016 Full Year Financial Results

Total net revenue was $120.4 million, compared to total net revenue of $103.5 million in the comparable prior year period.

Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $60.1 million, or 50% of total net revenue, compared to $56.0 million, or 54% of total net revenue, in fiscal 2015. SaaS revenues increased 29% year over year and comprised 17% of total recurring revenues, compared to 14% of total recurring revenues in fiscal 2015.

Gross margin was 57% in fiscal 2016, compared to 58% in fiscal 2015.

Net loss for fiscal 2016 was $(3.8) million, or $(0.17) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(11.5) million, or $(0.51) per diluted share, in fiscal 2015. The prior-year period included a total of $3.3 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, in asset write-offs and other fair value adjustments and restructuring and severance charges.

Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $4.3 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.2 million in fiscal 2015 (see reconciliation below).

Fiscal 2017 Outlook
Agilysys today provided a forecast for several financial metrics for fiscal 2017 including revenue, gross margin and Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP). The Company’s outlook for fiscal 2017 contemplates:

Full year revenue of approximately $132 - $136 million compared to fiscal 2016 revenue of $120 million.
Gross margin for fiscal 2017 is expected to be in the low-50% range, which reflects the impact of higher cost of goods sold related to the recently announced general availability of rGuest Stay for limited and select service hotels and chains and a continued mix shift in revenue towards more subscription based sales.

Adjusted EBITDA is expected to double in fiscal 2017, compared to fiscal 2016 Adjusted EBITDA of $4.3 million.


Janine Seebeck, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “In addition to our impressive 16% top line growth for fiscal 2016, we also significantly benefited from our fiscal management policies as reflected in the over $9 million year-over-year increase in net cash provided by operating activities and the more than 250% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA. We enter fiscal 2017 with a lot of momentum based on the ongoing growth of our customer base, consistent additional product placements with existing customers, and the expansion of our total addressable market through the introduction of our rGuest platform solutions. We expect this momentum to continue in fiscal 2017 as we forecast greater than the market rate of growth for full year revenue and a doubling of Adjusted EBITDA.

“In addition, we are very encouraged by the growing industry appreciation for our rGuest platform. As a result we are modestly accelerating our product development investment plan for certain rGuest solutions in order to add features and functionality that will enable us to address a growing number of markets sooner. With over $60 million in cash and cash equivalents at the end of fiscal 2016, we have a healthy balance sheet and the financial flexibility to support and grow our business.”
