(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 .” 2026 Second Quarter Conference Call and Webcast Agilysys is hosting a conference call and webcast today, October 27, 2025 , at 4:30 p.m. ET .

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.
