Agilysys Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Revenue Rises 19.1% to Record $40.7 Million

Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a global provider of next-generation hospitality software solutions and services, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2020 second quarter ended September 30, 2019.

Summary of Fiscal 2020 Second Quarter Financial Results

• Total net revenue increased 19.1% to a record $40.7 million, compared to total net revenue of $34.2 million in the comparable prior-year period.

• Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were a record $20.3 million, or 49.9% of total net revenue, compared to $18.9 million, or 55.1% of total net revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2019. Subscription revenues increased 16% year over year and comprised 36.1% of total recurring revenues, compared to 33.6% of total recurring revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2019.

• Gross margin was 49.6% in the fiscal 2020 second quarter, compared to 51.9% in the comparable prior-year period.

• Net loss in the fiscal 2020 second quarter was $(2.9) million, or $(0.13) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(3.8) million, or $(0.16) per diluted share, in the comparable prior-year period.

• Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $3.0 million, compared to $2.6 million in the comparable prior-year period.

• Free cash flow (non-GAAP) in the fiscal 2020 second quarter was $1.8 million, compared to free cash flow of $(2.0) million in the fiscal 2019 second quarter (see reconciliation below).

Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “Our visibility for consistent revenue growth continues to improve as, excluding one outlying quarter in fiscal 2016, the fiscal 2020 second quarter was our strongest quarter of selling success and deal closing since we transformed Agilysys to a pure-play hospitality software solutions company in fiscal 2014. In fact, our most recent four quarters represent four of our five best-ever quarters for selling success. This momentum is also reflected in our operating results as in the fiscal 2020 second quarter we generated record quarterly revenue of $40.7 million, representing our fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit year over year quarterly revenue growth and the sixth consecutive quarter of record revenue. Recurring revenue for the fiscal 2020 second quarter was a record, as it increased approximately 8% year over year, inclusive of a 16% increase in subscription revenue. In addition, this was also our highest ever quarter for professional services revenue, as we had our most productive quarter of global implementations. Professional services revenue growth and implementation levels are good indicators of our business momentum. We expect the significant increase in the number of current and upcoming software implementations to drive solid future recurring revenue growth. Based on our current selling activity trends, with the most recent five quarters all being record quarters for closed sales deals involving software subscription services, we expect a majority of such recurring revenue growth will be related to subscription revenue.

“With our product development resources strength at a record high, we continue to innovate in our existing and new product portfolio at an increasing pace. Combining this product innovation with our world class customer services and support is helping us grow our market share across our product verticals and the markets we serve. We remain committed to our goal of growing revenue in a prudent and profitable manner and expect that this disciplined approach will continue to generate growing shareholder value.”

Raises Fiscal 2020 Revenue Outlook

Agilysys today raised its forecast for fiscal 2020 full year revenue growth as the Company now expects an approximate 14% year-over-year increase compared to fiscal 2019 revenue of approximately $141 million. The Company’s prior expectation was for an approximate 11% year-over-year increase. The Company reiterated its forecast for an approximate 25% improvement in Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP measure) in fiscal 2020, compared to fiscal 2019 Adjusted EBITDA of approximately $10 million. Agilysys also continues to expect fiscal 2020 free cash flow will be significantly more than the $1.7 million of free cash flow generated in fiscal 2019.

The Company defines free cash flow as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures, less capitalized software development costs. Management believes free cash flow is another meaningful measure of the Company’s operating performance.

Tony Pritchett, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “The fiscal 2020 second quarter results again offer clear evidence of the success our operating initiatives are generating for our business. Our ability to drive product and services revenue growth even faster than expected has established a stronger foundation for consistent recurring revenue growth going forward. With each quarter that we deliver profitable revenue growth, we have a higher level of confidence in our outlook as reflected in the upward revision to our forecast for full year revenue growth, which we now expect will improve by 14%. We are hitting our stride as we continue to position the Company for a prosperous future that includes consistent growth across our financial results.”
