Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, "We are pleased to report our tenth consecutive record revenue quarter at $63.5 million, a 13.3% increase over the comparable prior year quarter, which included strong year-over-year growth of 32.0% for subscription revenue and 39.8% for services revenue. Adjusted EBITDA at $12.1 million, 19% of revenue, was slightly above our original expectations for the current quarter.

The year-over-year overall revenue increase achieved was despite challenges with product revenue which was negatively impacted more than our expectations going into the fiscal year due to customers increasingly preferring subscription licenses over one-time perpetual licenses and lesser hardware revenue.

Srinivasan continued, "We are encouraged by our continuing good progress with subscription and services revenue. Project execution and deployments continue to operate at a high velocity and at excellent efficiency levels, even as the complexity of implementations involving multiple software solutions of our hospitality ecosystem is increasing. The hospitality industry continues to embrace the distinct advantages our integrated modular solution sets provide to improve ease of use and guest experience while also creating greater revenue upsell and expansion opportunities. Q1 fiscal year 2025 represented the best sales start we have had for any fiscal year thus far, remaining consistent with the high sales levels we have seen in recent quarters. During the rest of the fiscal year, we expect to maintain and improve on the good business momentum we are seeing now," he concluded.

Fiscal 2025 Outlook

The Company expects full year fiscal 2025 revenue to be $275 million to $280 million, including higher than 27% year-over-year subscription revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 16% of revenue for the full fiscal year.

Dave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, "We are pleased with the strong start to the fiscal year while we evolve through product revenue challenges. Subscription and services revenue growth are ahead of our fiscal year 2025 plan and continue to drive the business toward our fiscal 2025 expectations. Our profitability levels and continued operating leverage expansion allow us the flexibility and confidence to continue to invest in future revenue growth and revenue expansion initiatives."

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

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.
