Agilysys Reports Unaudited Fiscal 2011 Third-Quarter

and Nine-month Results

 

   

Fiscal Year-to-Date Revenue Up 6.7% on Across-the-Board Increases in Sales

   

Company Remains Debt Free, with $45 Million Cash on Hand at December 31

CLEVELAND—February 2, 2011—Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced unaudited financial results for its fiscal 2011 third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2010.

Fiscal 2011 Third-Quarter Unaudited Results of Operations

Third-quarter fiscal 2011 consolidated net revenue increased $1.2 million to $217.0 million from $215.8 million in the prior year. Software and services sales grew 7.3% and 8.2%, respectively, while hardware revenue decreased 2.2% from the prior year. Revenue from the Company’s Hospitality Solutions and Technology Solutions groups grew 8.2% and 1.6%, respectively, from the prior-year third quarter, offsetting an 8.2% revenue decline in the Retail Solutions Group.

Third-quarter gross margin declined to 21.5% from 23.2% in the prior year third quarter, primarily due to lower vendor incentives and services margins.

“We are pleased with continued positive demand momentum and expect to report approximately 10% revenue growth this fiscal year. Our solution strategy showed continued success as the higher quarterly revenues reflect our initiatives to accelerate software and services volumes. In addition, our point of sale businesses, being hospitality and retail, continue to improve with our focus on increasing both proprietary content and cross selling,” said Martin Ellis, president and chief executive officer. “However, the positive traction in the market place was offset by lower gross margins, primarily due to lower vendor rebates.”

SG&A expenses in the fiscal 2011 third quarter were $44.9 million, of which $1.1 million relates to Guest360TM development costs that were capitalized in the fiscal 2010 third quarter and $0.7 million, associated with the Company’s ERP implementation, which will decrease significantly beginning in fiscal year 2012. Last year’s quarterly expenses of $40.5 million also included the benefit of a $1.6 million credit related to a litigation settlement.

The Company reported operating income for the quarter of $1.9 million, versus $8.6 million in last year’s third quarter. Adjusted EBITDA (defined as operating income plus depreciation and amortization), excluding asset impairment and restructuring charges, was $5.4 million for the quarter, compared with $12.6 million in the prior-year third quarter. (See reconciliation below.)

Agilysys reported net income of $2.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, for the fiscal 2011 third quarter, compared with net income of $13.6 million, or $0.59 per diluted share, in the previous year’s quarter.

“We have continued our aggressive investment in Guest360TM, our next generation hotel management system, which together with our previous investments in market-leading, complementary software solutions, including property management, point of sale and inventory and procurement, positions us very well for long-term success in the hospitality industry,” said Mr. Ellis.

Fiscal 2011 Nine-Month Unaudited Results of Operations

Consolidated net sales in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 increased 6.7% to $531.7 million, compared with the $498.5 million reported in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Sales of hardware, software and services increased 3.7%, 20.2% and 9.4%, respectively, compared with the prior-year period. Revenue from the Company’s Hospitality Solutions, Technology Solutions and Retail Solutions groups grew 9.8%, 7.2% and 2.1%, respectively, from the first nine months of fiscal 2010.

Gross margin decreased to 22.8% in the first nine months, compared with 25.2% in the same year-ago period, due to the lower vendor incentives and competitive pricing pressure.

SG&A expenses were $128.4 million, compared with $125.3 million in the first nine months of the prior fiscal year. The increase is primarily attributable to non-capitalized ERP implementation expenses of $2.5 million, expensing of Guest360 development costs of $2.3 million and the absence of a $1.6 million benefit related to a litigation settlement in the current fiscal year. This was partially offset by lower acquisition-related intangibles amortization, which declined by $2.4 million.

For the nine-month period, the Company reported an operating loss of $7.5 million, compared with an operating loss of $0.6 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2010. Year to date, adjusted EBITDA, excluding asset impairment and restructuring charges, was $3.2 million, versus $13.0 million in the first nine months of the prior year. (See reconciliation below.)

For the first nine months of fiscal 2011, the net loss was $10.5 million, or a loss of $0.46 per share, versus the previous year’s net income of $4.0 million, or $0.18 per diluted share. Net income for the first nine months is decreased due to lower operating income, a decrease in other income of $3.7M due to the absence of a non-recurring gain and litigation settlement and higher income taxes related to a $3.8M charge for valuation allowance recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2011.

Fiscal 2011 Business Outlook

“While year-to-date revenue and expenses have met our expectations, our bottom line results have been disappointing. Given the gross margin pressure we have faced, we are executing on $7 million in costs savings in the current quarter. These savings will position the Company for approximately break-even operating income on a go forward basis. As we move forward with our fiscal 2012 budgeting and planning process, we will develop more comprehensive profitability targets focused on materially improving our bottom line,” Ellis concluded.

The Company stated that it expects to generate consolidated revenue of $690 million to $710 million and adjusted EBITDA, excluding asset impairment and restructuring charges, of $3 million to $6 million in fiscal year 2011. Further, the Company expects to incur stock compensation of approximately $3.5 million and depreciation and amortization expense of $13.0 million to $13.5 million. Capital expenditures are anticipated to be $8 million to $9 million, of which $5 million is related to capitalized costs associated with the development of Guest360 and the implementation of the Company’s new Oracle ERP system.

Cash on hand is expected to be $60 million to $75 million as of March 31, 2011.
