FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Agilysys Announces Preliminary First Quarter Results

• Higher Gross Margin Offsets Lower Sales

• Revises Fiscal 2007 Sales Guidance Lower

• Reconfirms Fiscal 2007 Earnings

BOCA RATON, Florida – July 25, 2006 – Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of enterprise computer technology solutions, today announced preliminary results for its fiscal 2007 first quarter. Sales of approximately $388 million were down 5.3%, compared with $410 million for the first quarter of last year. Weaker sales were due to lower-than-expected sales of IBM hardware products, particularly weakness in proprietary servers.

The decrease in sales and resultant loss of gross profit were offset by higher gross margin of approximately 14.4% of sales, compared with 12.4% in the same period a year ago. The increase in gross margin was due to strong growth in software and services, and higher-than-anticipated profit earned on various supplier programs.

As a result, the company expects first quarter earnings of $0.20 to $0.22 per diluted share. For the full year, the company reconfirms its May 22 guidance of $1.15 to $1.22 per share.

Arthur Rhein, Agilysys chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, “While we are disappointed in the weakness in hardware products sales, we continue to see growth in our software and services categories, both of which helped drive the increase in gross margin.”

Updated Fiscal 2007 Full-Year Outlook
Based on the preliminary first-quarter results, Agilysys is updating its previous guidance shared in its fourth quarter earnings release on May 22, 2006. The company now anticipates sales growth of approximately 4% to 6% for fiscal 2007 compared with the prior year. This compares with the company’s previous fiscal 2007 guidance of approximately 6% to 8% sales growth.

Full-year gross margin is now expected to be approximately 13.2% of sales versus previous guidance of 12.9%. Selling, general and administrative expenses are now anticipated to be approximately 9.8% of sales for fiscal 2007. As a result, fiscal 2007 earnings are expected to be in the range of $1.15 to $1.22 per share, in line with its May 22 guidance.

Agilysys will issue fiscal 2007 first quarter earnings on Thursday, August 3, 2006 and hold a conference call to discuss the results and the updated fiscal 2007 expectations at 11 a.m. ET. The conference call will be broadcast live over the Internet and a replay will be accessible on the investor relations page of the company’s Web site: www.agilysys.com.
