AGILYSYS REPORTS FISCAL 2018 SECOND QUARTER REVENUE OF $30.1 MILLION
Alpharetta, GA - November 1, 2017 - Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a global provider of next-generation hospitality software solutions and services, today reported operating results for its fiscal 2018 second quarter ended September 30, 2017.
Summary of Fiscal 2018 Second Quarter Financial Results
• | Total net revenue was $30.1 million, compared to total net revenue of $32.7 million in the comparable prior-year period. |
• | Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $17.1 million, or 57% of total net revenue, compared to $15.9 million, or 49% of total net revenue, for the same period in fiscal 2017. SaaS revenues increased 29% year over year and comprised 29% of total recurring revenues, compared to 24% of total recurring revenues in the second quarter of fiscal 2017. |
• | Gross margin was 51.0% in the fiscal 2018 second quarter, compared to 48.6% in the prior-year period. Gross margin for the second quarter of fiscal 2018 was impacted by lower gross profit margin for professional services revenue, which resulted from lower quarterly professional services revenues on a higher cost structure following a recent alignment toward enabling the Company to provide more customer-centric services going forward. |
• | Net loss in the fiscal 2018 second quarter was $(3.2) million, or $(0.14) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(2.4) million, or $(0.11) per diluted share, in the prior-year period. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $2.3 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.3 million in the same period last year (see reconciliation below). |
• | Adjusted earnings from operations (non-GAAP) was $(1.2) million, compared to Adjusted earnings from operations of $(3.1) million in the prior-year period (see reconciliation below). |
Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “Notwithstanding revenue softness in the quarter, primarily due to lower hardware revenue, we continue to make steady progress with our profitability initiatives. This progress is reflected in fiscal 2018 second quarter adjusted EBITDA and adjusted earnings from operations improving 77% and 63%, respectively, over the comparable prior-year period. We also continue to benefit from growth in our maintenance and SaaS recurring revenue streams. While making good progress with all the operational efficiency improvement initiatives we began implementing earlier this year, we are also prudently investing in various areas of the business to drive revenue growth. For example, we have increased our development engineering capacity approximately 50% over the past six months. We have established and have made good progress with comprehensive development roadmaps for our new rGuest line of products and for our various well-established products.
“Even with our reduced full year revenue guidance, as a result of the progress we have made against our strategic operating plan, we remain confident that we will achieve positive adjusted earnings from operations during the fiscal 2018 fourth quarter, in accordance with the profitability guidance we provided earlier this year. In addition, we expect to end this fiscal year with a cash balance that is at or slightly above current levels. Going forward, we expect to benefit from our ongoing efforts to transform Agilysys into a customer centric and engineering driven business and from new sales and marketing initiatives we have recently implemented, to drive profitable revenue growth.”
Summary of Fiscal 2018 Six Months Financial Results
• | Total net revenue was $64.0 million, compared to total net revenue of $63.6 million in the comparable prior-year period. |
• | Recurring revenues (which are comprised of support, maintenance and subscription services) were $33.8 million, or 53% of total net revenue, compared to $30.9 million, or 48% of total net revenue, in the first six months of fiscal 2017. SaaS revenues for the first six months of fiscal 2018 increased 42% year over year and comprised 29% of total recurring revenues, compared to 22% of total recurring revenues in the first six months of fiscal 2017. |
• | Gross margin was 50.1% in the first six months of fiscal 2018, compared to 50.4% in the comparable year-ago period. Gross margin for the first six months of fiscal 2018 reflects the impact of the recent alignment toward enabling the Company to provide more customer-centric services going forward, as well as lower second quarter professional services revenues on a higher cost structure that is a result of the above noted recent alignment. |
• | Net loss in the first six months of fiscal 2018 was $(6.2) million, or $(0.27) per diluted share, compared to a net loss of $(4.7) million, or $(0.21) per diluted share, in the first six months of fiscal 2017. |
• | Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $4.0 million, compared to Adjusted EBITDA of $1.7 million in the same period last year (see reconciliation below). |
• | Adjusted earnings from operations (non-GAAP) in the first six months of fiscal 2018 was $(4.6) million, compared to Adjusted earnings from operations of $(6.3) million in the same period last year (see reconciliation below). |
Fiscal 2018 Outlook Update
Agilysys today updated its guidance for fiscal 2018 full year revenue to a new range of $130 million to $134 million from the prior range of $136 million to $140 million. Notwithstanding the change in full year revenue guidance, the Company continues to expect that it will generate positive Adjusted Earnings from Operations (non-GAAP measure) in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2018.
The Company defines adjusted earnings from operations as adjusted EBITDA, less capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs, which management believes is a meaningful measure of earnings and provides insight to investors on the Company’s overall profitability and cash generation from core operations. Adjusted earnings from operations includes costs for capitalized efforts while minimizing the seasonality of the Company’s cash flows due to timing of billing.
Tony Pritchett, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We are pleased with the progress we are making to lower overall spend as a percentage of revenue. Excluding certain one-time restructuring and severance expenses, despite lower consolidated revenue, overall costs as a percentage of revenue in the fiscal 2018 second quarter were lower than comparable costs in the fiscal 2017 fourth quarter when we began to act on this initiative. While our cost savings initiatives continue to be a priority as the success of these efforts will be an important driver of our ability to generate profitable revenue as we begin to implement new revenue growth initiatives, we are simultaneously strategically investing in areas of the business to drive sustainable revenue growth. With our healthy balance sheet that includes nearly $40 million in cash and cash equivalents and no debt, focus on prudent expense management, and new go-to-market sales initiatives beginning to be implemented, we are confident that we are on a path to profitability and revenue growth, which will unlock value for our shareholders.”
