Agilysys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGYS), a leading global provider of hospitality software solutions that deliver High Return Hospitality, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2024 third quarter ending December 31, 2023.

Summary of Fiscal 2024 Third Quarter Financial Results

  • Total net revenue increased 21.3% to a record $60.6 million, compared to total net revenue of $49.9 million in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Recurring revenue (comprising subscription and maintenance charges) was a record $35.1 million, or 58.0% of total net revenue, compared to $30.2 million, or 60.4% of total net revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2023. Subscription revenue increased 29.9% year-over-year and was 55.6% of total recurring revenue compared to 49.8% of total recurring revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
  • Gross margin was 62.5% compared to 61.7% in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Net income attributable to common shareholders was $76.9 million, or $2.85 per diluted share, compared to $3.4 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, in the comparable prior-year period. Net income for the quarter included discrete tax events including a $65.1 million release of valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $11.8 million compared to $8.1 million in the comparable prior-year period (reconciliation included in financial tables).
  • Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) was $0.35 per share compared to $0.26 per share in the comparable prior-year period (reconciliation included in financial tables).
  • Free cash flow (non-GAAP) in the fiscal 2024 third quarter was $11.3 million compared to free cash flow of $11.7 million in the fiscal 2023 third quarter (reconciliation included in financial tables). Ending cash balance was $116.2 million, compared to ending cash balance of $112.8 million as of fiscal 2023 year-end.

Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “We are pleased with our continuing good business momentum, highlighted by the eighth consecutive record revenue quarter, 21.3% year-over-year revenue growth that includes subscription revenue growth of 29.9% and Adjusted EBITDA of 19.4%.”

Mr. Srinivasan continued, “Improving implementation services efficiency, as our recently re-engineered and newly created state-of-the-art technology-based software solutions continue to establish themselves well across many hospitality corporations and their properties, was the other salient highlight of the quarter. Record high services revenue and significantly improved services margins helped drive increases in gross margin and net income profitability levels.

“We remain confident with the increased full fiscal year revenue guidance range of $235M to $238M and subscription revenue growth of 28% year-over-year provided at the end of the last quarter. We expect fiscal 2024 Adjusted EBITDA to be 15% of revenue, higher than the previous guidance. Several major customers across various geographies continue to implement recently modernized versions of our cloud-native solutions at their properties and are increasingly relying on us to enable new efficiencies for staff and better experiences for guests. Our competitive positioning across all product categories continues to strengthen, giving us the capability to generate significant shareholder value during the short, medium and long term,” he concluded.

Fiscal 2024 Outlook

Agilysys raised Adjusted EBITDA expectations for fiscal 2024 to 15% of revenue and reiterated full-year revenue guidance of $235 to $238 million and subscription revenue growth of 28% year-over-year.

Dave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Product implementations continue to show improved efficiencies driving consistent recurring revenue growth. Our backlog remains strong and we remain confident about continued good business growth. Increased profitability this quarter is another testament to our relentless and unwavering focus on disciplined growth across all areas of our business.”

Forward-Looking Language

This press release contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,” “seek,” “believe,” “project,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,” “likely,” “may,” “should,” “will” and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, our revenue, subscription revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance for the 2024 fiscal year.

Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of future performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs, expectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future plans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include, among others, the impact macroeconomic factors may have on the overall business environment, our ability to achieve our fiscal 2024 guidance, future revenue growth, the company's ability to convert the backlog into revenue, and the risks described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q. Additionally, references to "record" financial and business levels in this document refer only to the time period after Agilysys made the transformation to an entirely hospitality focused software solutions company in FY2014.

Any forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only on information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statement that may be made from time to time, whether written or oral, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC rules are used. These non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow. Management believes that such information can enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s ongoing operations.

The Company has included the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide valuable insight into the Company’s overall profitability from core operations before certain non-cash and non-recurring charges. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income attributable to common shareholders before amortization expense (including amortization of developed technology), share-based compensation, other (gains) and charges, net, and legal settlements, less the related income tax effect of these adjustments, as applicable, at the Company's current combined federal and state income statutory tax rate, and tax events which are defined as excess tax benefits or expense related to share-based compensation, release of valuation allowances against deferred income taxes, and changes in uncertain tax positions. The Company defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

See the accompanying tables below for the definitions and reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most closely related GAAP measures.
