FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Agilysys Reports Unaudited Fiscal 2008 First-Quarter Results
  •   Sales Increase 20% Over Prior-Year Period
 
  •   Income from Continuing Operations of $2.7 Million Compares with Loss of $2.8 Million a Year Ago
 
  •   Three Acquisitions Add Incremental Annual Revenues of $350 Million
BOCA RATON, Fla. – August 2, 2007 – Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced fiscal 2008 unaudited first-quarter results for the period ended June 30, 2007.
Financial Results
Sales for the first quarter increased 20% to $128.4 million, compared with $107.1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Revenue from acquisitions accounted for $12.0 million or 56.3% of the growth. Growth in the base business contributed $9.3 million or 43.7% of the sales growth for the quarter.
Fiscal 2008 first-quarter sales of hardware products increased 20% to $91.0 million. Software sales increased 64% to $12.4 million, and services revenue increased 5% to $25.0 million.
Gross margin from continuing operations for the first quarter was $32.3 million, or 25.2% of sales, compared with $28.7 million, or 26.9% of sales, for the first quarter of fiscal 2007. Prior-year gross margin for the quarter was positively impacted by unusually high levels of price protection on certain products.
Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the first quarter were $37.6 million, or 29.3% of sales, compared with $31.4 million, or 29.3% of sales, in the same quarter a year ago. The $6.3 million increase in SG&A expenses included $4.3 million of incremental operating expenses from the company’s recent acquisitions. The remaining $2.0 million was primarily due to a higher provision for doubtful accounts compared with the same quarter a year ago, as a result of year-over-year changes within aging in the company’s trade accounts receivable. Excluding the $4.3 million in acquisition-associated operating costs, SG&A was down $4.1 million sequentially.
Net interest income for the first quarter was $6.8 million compared with $0.1 million in the same period last year. The improvement was due to the significantly higher cash position as a result of the sale of the company’s KeyLink Systems Distribution Business.
Income from continuing operations for the first quarter was $2.7 million, or $0.08 per share, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $2.8 million, or $0.09 per share, for the first quarter last year.
Arthur Rhein, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Agilysys, said, “I couldn’t be more pleased with all that we have achieved in the short time we have been operating solely as a leading provider of innovative IT solutions. Especially when you consider we sold our KeyLink Systems Distribution Business; successfully integrated Visual One Systems; announced and closed three acquisitions; and substantially increased organic sales. We will continue on our strategic course of

1

 

enhancing the value we provide for customers and shareholders by growing our business, both organically and through acquisitions.”
Recent Acquisitions
During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, Agilysys completed the integration of Visual One Systems, as well as announced three acquisitions – Stack Computer, InfoGenesis and Innovativ Systems Design – all of which have now closed.
  •   January 25, 2007 – Visual One Systems, with annual sales of approximately $9 million, is a leading developer and marketer of Microsoft® Windows®-based software for the hospitality industry with offerings including property management, condominium, golf course, spa, point-of-sale, and sales and catering management applications. Visual One customers include well-known North American and international full-service hotels, resorts, conference centers and condominiums of all sizes. The acquisition of Visual One strategically provides Agilysys a complementary product offering and significantly increases the breadth of the company’s market opportunities in the hospitality industry.
 
  •   April 2, 2007 – Stack Computer, with approximately $55 million in revenues, is a technology integrator with a strong focus in EMC-based high availability storage infrastructure solutions. As an EMC Premier Technology Integrator and a Cisco Advanced Technology Partner, Stack strategically provides Agilysys with product solutions and services offerings that significantly enhance its storage and professional services businesses. Stack’s customers, primarily concentrated on the West Coast, include leading corporations in the financial services, healthcare and manufacturing industries.
 
  •   June 18, 2007 – The addition of InfoGenesis, with approximately $42 million in annual revenues, enhances Agilysys’ already strong presence in casinos, hotels and resorts, and provides new solutions in cruise lines, stadiums and foodservice. As an independent software vendor to the hospitality market, InfoGenesis has developed enterprise-class point-of-sale solutions that provide end users a highly intuitive, secure and easy way to process customer transactions across multiple departments or locations. The combined portfolio of products from Agilysys and InfoGenesis offers hospitality clients worldwide a single source for their operational technology needs.
 
  •   July 2, 2007 – Innovativ, with approximately $256 million in revenues, is the largest U.S. solutions provider of Sun Microsystems servers and storage products. The Sun relationship, combined with Innovativ’s strong financial services and telecommunications industry presence, further diversifies Agilysys’ supplier mix, establishes new markets and broadens its customer base. Through the addition of Sun, Agilysys has a very significant relationship with four of the most pervasive computer technology suppliers: EMC, HP, IBM and Sun.
Business Outlook
In its fourth-quarter fiscal 2007 release issued May 25, 2007, Agilysys provided full-year guidance for fiscal 2008. As of the fiscal 2008 first quarter, the company is updating guidance to estimate annual sales in the range of $800 million to $820 million. Full-year gross margin is now expected to be approximately 24% of sales, with EBITDA margins of approximately 2.5% to 3% of sales.
Selling, general and administrative expenses are now anticipated to be approximately 23% of sales, including stock option expense of $6.0 million and approximately $6.0 million in new investments in software development and additional customer-facing employees. Interest income is expected to be approximately $14 million and the company anticipates an effective tax rate of approximately 41.5% for the fiscal year. Based on an estimated 32 million shares outstanding, earnings per share are expected to be

2

 

in the range of $0.40 to $0.50 per share.
Agilysys also expects fiscal 2008 capital expenditures of approximately $5 million and depreciation and amortization of approximately $15 million, subject to finalizing the intangible asset analysis on the company’s recent acquisitions.
