Agilysys Announces 15th Consecutive Record Revenue Quarter: $79.3M in Fiscal 2026 Q2

MWN-AI** Summary

Agilysys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGYS) has announced its financial results for the second quarter of Fiscal 2026, marking the 15th consecutive quarter of record revenue, achieving $79.3 million—up 16.1% from $68.3 million in the same quarter last year. This robust revenue growth is attributed to a substantial 33.1% surge in subscription revenue, which now constitutes 65.5% of total recurring revenue. Overall, recurring revenue reached a record $51 million, contributing significantly to the company's financial success.

The fiscal second quarter yielded a net income of $11.7 million, translating to $0.41 per diluted share, a notable increase from $1.4 million or $0.05 per diluted share in the previous year. The adjusted EBITDA was reported at $16.4 million, compared to $12.2 million year-over-year, indicating strong operational performance. Despite a slight decrease in gross margins (61.7% vs. 63.3% in the prior year), the company continues to see growth in free cash flow, which reached $15 million.

Agilysys has raised its full-year revenue guidance for Fiscal 2026, projecting revenues between $315 million and $318 million, and increased its subscription revenue growth expectations to 29%. CEO Ramesh Srinivasan highlighted the strong sales momentum and high demand for their cloud-native hospitality software solutions, maintaining a robust backlog and visibility for upcoming quarters.

In summary, Agilysys's performance continues to reflect its strong positioning in the hospitality software market, supported by impressive subscription revenue growth and an optimistic outlook for the future. The company remains committed to its strategic objectives while navigating ongoing market challenges.

MWN-AI** Analysis

Agilysys, Inc.'s announcement of its 15th consecutive record revenue quarter, achieving $79.3 million in Q2 FY 2026, indicates robust financial health and a thriving business model in the hospitality software solutions sector. Key metrics highlight a significant 16.1% increase in total revenue and an impressive 33% year-over-year growth in subscription revenue, which now constitutes a notable 64.3% of total revenue. This trajectory suggests strong demand for Agilysys's cloud-native solutions and highlights its successful transition toward a subscription-based revenue model.

Investors should consider the raised revenue guidance for the full fiscal year, now projected between $315 million and $318 million, alongside a subscription revenue growth adjustment upward to 29%. This increased outlook reflects not only confidence in ongoing sales momentum but also the significant role of its subscription-based offerings in driving profitability.

Despite a slight dip in gross margins from 63.3% to 61.7%, the overall profitability indicators remain robust, with net income rising to $11.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA also demonstrates strong performance at $16.4 million, underscoring Agilysys's operational efficiency in managing growth.

However, investors should be mindful of the ongoing uncertainty that surrounds macroeconomic factors and potential impacts on future performance. The company has cautioned that subscription revenue contributions from a large-scale PMS project are not included in the revised guidance, which could affect revenue realization if project timelines extend.

In conclusion, Agilysys appears poised for continued growth, making it an intriguing option for investors seeking exposure in the technology sector focused on hospitality and service industries. Nonetheless, prudent investors should monitor broader economic indicators and the company's ability to sustain this growth momentum in the coming quarters.

Includes Subscription Revenue Growth of 33%

Raises Full-Year Fiscal 2026 Guidance Levels: Revenue Range to $315M to $318M and

Subscription Revenue Growth to 29%

Agilysys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGYS), a leading global provider of hospitality software solutions and services, today reported results for its Fiscal 2026 second quarter ending September 30, 2025.

Summary of Fiscal 2026 Second Quarter Financial Results

  • Total net revenue increased 16.1% to a record $79.3 million compared to total net revenue of $68.3 million in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Recurring revenue (comprised of subscription and maintenance charges) was a record $51.0 million, or 64.3% of total net revenue, compared to $41.4 million, or 60.7% of total net revenue for the same period in Fiscal 2025. Subscription revenue increased 33.1% year-over-year and was 65.5% of total recurring revenue compared to 60.5% of total recurring revenue in the second quarter of Fiscal 2025.
  • Gross margin was 61.7% in the Fiscal 2026 second quarter compared to 63.3% in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Net income in the Fiscal 2026 second quarter was $11.7 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $1.4 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in the comparable prior-year period.
  • Adjusted EBITDA (non-GAAP) was $16.4 million compared to $12.2 million in the comparable prior-year period (reconciliation included in financial tables).
  • Adjusted diluted EPS (non-GAAP) was $0.40 per share in the Fiscal 2026 second quarter compared to $0.34 per share in the comparable prior-year period (reconciliation included in financial tables).
  • Free cash flow (non-GAAP) in the Fiscal 2026 second quarter was $15.0 million compared to free cash flow of $5.9 million in the Fiscal 2025 second quarter (reconciliation included in financial tables). Ending cash balance was $59.3 million compared to ending cash balance of $73.0 million as of Fiscal 2025 year-end.

Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “We are pleased to report yet another excellent set of quarter results and increased expectations for the remainder of the fiscal year. Q2 Fiscal 2026 revenue was $79.3 million, the 15th consecutive quarter of record revenue, with 16% year-over-year total revenue growth driven by strong subscription revenue growth of 33%, including Book4Time.

Mr. Srinivasan continued, “Q2 Fiscal 2026 was our second highest selling success quarter, measured in annual contract value terms. The last few quarters have been some of the highest sales success quarters in our history, creating strong business momentum. Even though we continue to achieve excellent progress with product implementations in the field, the sustained high demand for our modernized cloud-native ecosystem of hospitality software solutions once again has kept cumulative backlogs at record levels, providing us good visibility for the second half of the fiscal year.”

“As a result, we are raising the Fiscal 2026 full year top-line revenue guidance range to $315 million to $318 million and subscription revenue growth expectations to 29% from the previously guided 27%. While we continue to make good progress with the major PMS project we have been working on, guidance levels continue to exclude any significant subscription revenue contribution from this project” Mr. Srinivasan concluded.

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

The Company is raising guidance of total revenue range to $315 million to $318 million for the full fiscal year and is increasing subscription revenue growth expectations to 29% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA expectations remain at 20% of revenue for the full fiscal year. Subscription revenue growth expectations exclude any material revenue from the large-scale PMS project currently in progress.

Dave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We continue to make good progress with our disciplined, profitable growth objectives. Business momentum during the first half of Fiscal 2026 has been strong, fueled by elevated sales levels and a high velocity of subscription revenue project deployments. As a result, we are increasing our full year Fiscal 2026 subscription revenue annual growth expectation to 29% year over year and annual revenue range to $315 million to $318 million.”

Important factors that could cause our actual results and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated herein and in other filings and statements include, among others, the impact macroeconomic factors may have on the overall business environment, our ability to achieve our Fiscal 2026 guidance, maintaining sales momentum, the Company's ability to convert the backlog into revenue, and the Risk Factors described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company’s reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.

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 (gains) and charges, net, and legal settlements, less the related income tax effect of these adjustments, as applicable, at the Company's current combined federal and state income statutory tax rate and tax events as defined in the accompanying tables 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.
