Agilysys Reports Fiscal 2015 Third Quarter Revenue of $24.7 Million


Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative hospitality software solutions and services, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2015 third quarter ended December 31, 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 third quarter and nine 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 Third Quarter Financial Results

  • Total net revenue was $24.7 million, compared to total net revenue of $25.0 million in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $13.9 million for the quarter, an increase of 5% over the same period in fiscal 2014.
  • Gross margin was 57% in the fiscal 2015 third quarter, compared to 61% in the prior-year period.
  • Adjusted operating loss (non-GAAP) from continuing operations (excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and other one-time items) was $(1.2) million, compared to adjusted operating income from continuing operations in the year-ago period of $0.6 million (see reconciliation below).
  • Adjusted loss (non-GAAP) from continuing operations was $(1.3) million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared to adjusted income from continuing operations of $0.7 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, in the same period last year (see reconciliation below).
  • Net loss in the period was $(2.7) million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(2.7) million, or $(0.12) per diluted share, in the prior-year period, which included a net loss from discontinued operations of $(1.0) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share.

James Dennedy, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, "Our financial results for the fiscal 2015 third quarter were below our expectations, but the results do reflect our strategy to pursue subscription-based solutions revenue and new logo business. While our sales strategy has the near-term effect of slowing our overall rate of revenue growth, it is leading to year-over-year increases in recurring revenue, in particular in our SaaS revenues which rose 16% compared to the year-ago quarter, as well as further positioning the Company for sustainable growth as we build our base of higher margin recurring revenue opportunities."

Dennedy added, "By helping our customers innovate in the way they improve guest recruitment, increase wallet share and enhance guests interactions, we expect to accomplish our goals of increasing our market share through retention and expansion of our customer base, growing our total addressable market, and significantly expanding the mix of subscription-based revenue in our overall mix. We remain confident that through our continued expansion of new products and services Agilysys is solidly on the path toward accomplishing our business objectives and creating increased value for our shareholders."

Summary of Fiscal 2015 Nine Months Financial Results

  • Total net revenue for the period increased $1.3 million, or 2%, to $74.8 million, compared with $73.5 million in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $41.5 million for the period, an increase of 6% over the first nine months of fiscal 2014.
  • Gross margin of 61%, compares to gross margin of 64% in the prior-year period.
  • Adjusted operating loss (non-GAAP) from continuing operations (excluding stock-based compensation, amortization of intangibles and other one-time items) for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $(0.9) million, compared to adjusted operating income from continuing operations of $3.0 million in the comparable year-ago period (see reconciliation below).
  • Adjusted loss (non-GAAP) from continuing operations was $(0.9) million, or $(0.04) per diluted share, compared with adjusted income of $3.0 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014 (see reconciliation below).
  • Net loss in the first nine months of fiscal 2015 was $(6.1) million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, compared with net income of $19.1 million, or $0.87 per diluted share, in the first nine months of fiscal 2014, which included net income from discontinued operations of $21.3 million, or $0.97 per diluted share.

Janine Seebeck, Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our financial results year to date reflect growth in recurring revenue, including a 13% increase in SaaS revenues. Our progress in growing this higher margin component of our business mix reflects the emphasis we have placed on increasing subscription-based revenues as we continue to transition our sales efforts and focus towards our expanding rGuest platform solutions. Importantly, our healthy balance sheet, including approximately $74 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, provides Agilysys with the financial foundation to continue investing at an accelerated rate in the development of new products for our rGuest platform and enhancements for our current in-market solutions that will help bridge the gap to a critical level of adoption of our next generation platform. We also continue to invest in the ongoing build out of our sales and services organizations as we transition these groups to focus on growing our recurring revenue mix of business.

"As the transition in our strategy continues to impact our near-term product revenues, we expect to generate full year fiscal 2015 revenue that is in line or slightly below the prior year. In addition, reflecting our updated outlook for Fiscal 2015 full year revenue, we now expect to record an adjusted operating loss for the year compared to our prior expectation of break-even to modestly positive adjusted operating income for the full year."
