Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative hospitality software solutions and services, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2015 second quarter ended September 30, 2014.
On March 31, 2014, the Company sold its United Kingdom business entity to U.K.-based Verteda Limited. All of the historical fiscal 2014 second quarter and six months financial results presented below give effect to the sale of the Company’s EMEA operations and adjustments as if they had occurred on April 1, 2013.
Summary of Fiscal 2015 Second Quarter Financial Results
- Total net revenue increased $1.5 million, or 6%, to $26.3 million, compared to total net revenue of $24.8 million in the comparable prior-year period.
- Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $13.8 million for the quarter, an increase of 7% over the same period in fiscal 2014.
- Gross margin was 63% in the fiscal 2015 second quarter, compared to 67% in the prior-year period.
- Adjusted operating income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations (excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and other one-time items) was $0.7 million, comparable to adjusted operating income from continuing operations in the year-ago period (see reconciliation below).
- Adjusted income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations was $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, comparable to adjusted income from continuing operations and per diluted share in the same period last year (see reconciliation below).
- Net loss in the period was $(1.1) million, or $(0.05) per diluted share, compared to net income of $20.5 million, or $0.92 per diluted share, in the prior-year period, which included net income from discontinued operations of $21.8 million, or $0.98 per diluted share.
James Dennedy, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “Our financial results year to date reflect our continued emphasis on increasing the contributions from subscription based revenue in our mix of business. This focus provides numerous benefits to our customers, including more flexible and scalable solutions with a lower overall technology footprint. We are helping customers increase the value of their touch-points with guests and drive improved financial performance. This benefits Agilysys in the near and long-term as we deepen relationships with our customers and increase the recurring revenue component of our financial results.
“We continue to invest substantially in our solution offerings. Our new solutions help our customers strengthen their relationships with patrons across the entire lifecycle of the guest experience including promotion, reservation, ordering, transactions and overall guest experience, as well as post-visit interaction and follow-on promotion. In addition to helping our customers grow their business through new solutions like rGuest Seat; innovations such as rGuest Pay enable our customers to more efficiently run their organization. Building on our product introductions during the first half of fiscal 2015, later this year we expect to generate initial revenues from our new rGuest Stay property management solution.”
Dennedy concluded, “With our emphasis on introducing new solutions for the hospitality industry that are aligned with our customers’ priorities, Agilysys is favorably positioned to continue to execute on our strategic goals of growing new logo business, expanding the number of end markets we serve, further leveraging existing customer relationships and consistently building recurring revenue.”
Summary of Fiscal 2015 Six Months Financial Results
- Total net revenue for the period increased $1.6 million, or 3%, to $50.1 million, compared with $48.5 million in the comparable prior-year period.
- Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $27.6 million for the period, an increase of 7% over the first six months of fiscal 2014.
- Gross margin of 63% compares to gross margin of 66% in the prior-year period.
- Adjusted operating income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations (excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and other one-time items) for the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $0.3 million compared to adjusted operating income from continuing operations of $2.4 million in the comparable year-ago period (see reconciliation below).
- Adjusted income (non-GAAP) from continuing operations was $0.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, compared with adjusted income of $2.3 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2014 (see reconciliation below).
- Net loss in the first six months of fiscal 2015 was $(3.4) million, or $(0.15) per diluted share, compared with net income of $21.8 million, or $0.99 per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2014, which included net income from discontinued operations of $22.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share.
Janine Seebeck, Chief Financial Officer, added, “Through the first half of fiscal 2015 we have grown recurring revenues 7% inclusive of an 11% year-over-year increase in SaaS revenues. We expect to achieve additional success in the transition of our business to further grow this higher-margin component. In addition to this growing recurring revenue base, Agilysys is well positioned with strong gross margins and prudent fiscal discipline aimed at delivering longer-term operating efficiencies. Our strong balance sheet supports our goals for growth either through investments in new products or acquisitions that generate attractive returns.
“Reflecting the pace of progress we have made year to date in the transition in our sales team and go-to-market strategy, we expect that Agilysys will generate total annual revenue in line with the industry’s overall revenue growth in fiscal 2015. Importantly, we also remain on track to generate break-even to modestly positive adjusted operating income for the full year even as we support an accelerated investment cycle to develop new products for the rGuest platform.”
