Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, "We are pleased to report our 14th consecutive record revenue quarter representing an approximate 21% year-over-year top line growth driven by 44% growth in subscription revenue including Book4Time and 16% growth in professional services revenue.

Fiscal 2026 first quarter, April to June, was our second highest selling success quarter, 24% higher than the comparable prior year period, measured in annual contract value terms. We continue to enjoy excellent selling momentum with consistent, robust demand for the modernized state-of-the-art cloud-native ecosystem of hospitality focused software solutions. Strong sales drove the recurring and services revenue backlog to record levels, despite strong implementation success and record services revenue.

Given the current sales and project implementation velocity, we expect full fiscal year 2026 subscription revenue to grow 27% year-over-year, higher than the original guidance of 25%. The remaining components of our guidance remain unchanged. As previously stated, all these guidance numbers exclude any significant subscription revenue contribution from the major PMS project that we continue to make good progress on" Srinivasan concluded.

Fiscal 2026 Outlook

The Company is raising full year subscription revenue growth guidance to 27% year-over-year while maintaining full year fiscal 2026 total revenue to be $308 million to $312 million. 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 are very pleased with the continued business momentum during Q1, especially with increasing sales and faster deployment of subscription revenue projects causing us to raise expectations to 27% growth over the prior fiscal year. Sales remained strong throughout the quarter, including with respect to point of sale products compared to the prior year. We are continuing to execute at the elevated levels we saw as we exited fiscal year 2025 and are well positioned to achieve our 2026 fiscal year financial plan."

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.
