  • Gross margin was 63.3% in the fiscal 2025 second quarter compared to 59.9% in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Net income attributable to common shareholders in the fiscal 2025 second quarter was $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, compared to $4.1 million, or $0.16 per diluted share, in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $12.2 million compared to $8.1 million in the comparable prior-year period (reconciliation included in financial tables).
  • Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) was $0.34 per share in the fiscal 2025 second quarter compared to $0.25 per share in the comparable prior-year period (reconciliation included in financial tables).
  • Free cash flow (non-GAAP) in the fiscal 2025 second quarter was $5.9 million compared to free cash flow of $2.5 million in the fiscal 2024 second quarter (reconciliation included in financial tables). Ending cash balance was $54.9 million compared to ending cash balance of $144.9 million as of fiscal 2024 year-end. During the fiscal 2025 second quarter, cash paid for the acquisition of Book4Time, net of cash acquired, was $144.9 million while cash received from debt proceeds, net of issuance costs, was $49.7 million.

Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “We are pleased to report another set of excellent results with record revenue for the 11th consecutive quarter at $68.3 million and 16.5% higher than the comparable prior year quarter, 36.6% total subscription revenue growth and Adjusted EBITDA of 17.9% of revenue. Fiscal 2025 second quarter July to September sales, measured in annual contract value terms, were the second highest in the company’s history. We have also made good progress with integrating Book4Time into the business and with the strides made towards realizing anticipated synergies and added value.

"Our growing competitive strengths based on a solid foundation of cloud-native state-of-the-art technology and a broad ecosystem of hospitality-focused software products and modules continue to yield good current results and create extensive potential for increasing shareholder value. A strong selling success quarter which drove cumulative recurring revenue, services and product backlog close to peak levels, along with additional subscription revenue from Book4Time increased our expectations for the second half of fiscal 2025. As a result, we are raising full fiscal year 2025 revenue guidance to $280 million to $285 million including at least 38% year-over-year subscription revenue growth. In addition, we expect full year fiscal 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to be 18% of revenue, higher than our previous guidance of 16%," he concluded.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook

The Company raises full year fiscal 2025 revenue guidance to $280 million to $285 million, including at least 38% year-over-year subscription revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 18% of revenue for the full fiscal year.

Dave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We are pleased with the business momentum through the first half of the fiscal year and increased expectations for the second half. The Book4Time acquisition expands our reach within hospitality and provides us an expanded customer base to sell the Agilysys ecosystem of products into. Our current and improving profitability levels and expanding operating leverage creates flexibility for our business and gives us confidence to continue to invest in future revenue growth initiatives.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC rules are used. These non-GAAP financial measures include EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow. Management believes that such information can enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s ongoing operations.

The Company has included the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide valuable insight into the Company’s overall profitability from core operations before certain non-cash and non-recurring charges. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income before amortization expense (including amortization of developed technology), share-based compensation, other charges, and legal settlements, less the related income tax effect of these adjustments, as applicable, and tax events and defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.

See the accompanying tables below for the definitions and reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most closely related GAAP measures.
