The industry also continues to move forward\nin earnest to implement the modern, cloud-native ecosystem of software\nsolutions that allows them to improve operational efficiencies and deliver\ngreat guest experiences. Q2 Fiscal 2027 was yet another record sales quarter,\nthe best ever Q2 July to September sales period, keeping total backlog at\nrecord levels despite strong implementation and delivery results.\n\nThe business continues to grow ahead of our previous expectations. As a\nresult, we are once again raising full fiscal year total annual revenue\nguidance to now be in the range of $374 million to $378 million, driven among\nother things, by an increase in subscription revenue growth, now expected to\nincrease by at least 34% year over year. We expect full fiscal year Adjusted\nEBITDA to be 25% of revenue, higher than the prior expectation of 24%,”\nSrinivasan concluded.\n\nFiscal 2027 Outlook\n\nThe Company is raising full year subscription revenue growth guidance of at\nleast 32% year-over-year to at least 34% and full year fiscal 2027 total\nrevenue to be $374 million to $378 million. Adjusted EBITDA expectations are\nalso increasing to 25% of revenue for the full fiscal year.\n\nDave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “The second quarter of the\nfiscal year has continued to yield strong results. The teams are continuing to\nexecute at elevated levels across the board, driven by a sustained high level\nof sales demand and project implementation velocity. We are pleased to be in a\nposition once again to increase our full year expectations as a result of this\ncontinued momentum. The company is well positioned to continue to execute\nagainst the current forecasted plan during the second half of the fiscal\nyear.”\n\n2027 Second Quarter Conference Call and Webcast\n\nAgilysys is hosting a conference call and webcast today, October 26, 2026, at\n4:30 p.m. ET.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by\nwords such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,”\n“seek,” “believe,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast,”\n“preliminary,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,”\n“likely,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will”\nand similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking\nstatements include, among others, our revenue, subscription revenue and\nAdjusted EBITDA guidance for the 2027 fiscal year.\n\nForward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of\nfuture performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs,\nexpectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future\nplans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy\nand other future conditions.

Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially\nfrom those indicated. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these\nforward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual\nresults and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated\nherein and in other filings and statements include, among others, the impact\nmacroeconomic factors may have on the overall business environment, our\nability to achieve our fiscal 2027 guidance, maintaining sales momentum, the\ncompany's ability to convert the backlog into revenue, and the Risk Factors\ndescribed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange\nCommission, including the Company’s reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.\nAdditionally, references to \"record\" financial and business levels in this\ndocument refer only to the time period after Agilysys made the transformation\nto an entirely hospitality focused software solutions company in FY2014.\n\nAny forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only\non information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on\nwhich it is made.

Ending cash balance was $137.6\nmillion compared to ending cash balance of $116.9 million as of fiscal 2026\nyear-end.\n\nRamesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “Revenue was a\nrecord $93.4 million during Q2 Fiscal 2027, the 19th consecutive record\nrevenue quarter, driven by subscription growth of 32.6%.\n\nQ2 Fiscal 2027 one-time product revenue was higher than expected as the\nhospitality industry continues to increase its investments in modern point of\nsale (POS) technology solutions. The industry also continues to move forward\nin earnest to implement the modern, cloud-native ecosystem of software\nsolutions that allows them to improve operational efficiencies and deliver\ngreat guest experiences. Q2 Fiscal 2027 was yet another record sales quarter,\nthe best ever Q2 July to September sales period, keeping total backlog at\nrecord levels despite strong implementation and delivery results.\n\nThe business continues to grow ahead of our previous expectations. As a\nresult, we are once again raising full fiscal year total annual revenue\nguidance to now be in the range of $374 million to $378 million, driven among\nother things, by an increase in subscription revenue growth, now expected to\nincrease by at least 34% year over year. We expect full fiscal year Adjusted\nEBITDA to be 25% of revenue, higher than the prior expectation of 24%,”\nSrinivasan concluded.\n\nFiscal 2027 Outlook\n\nThe Company is raising full year subscription revenue growth guidance of at\nleast 32% year-over-year to at least 34% and full year fiscal 2027 total\nrevenue to be $374 million to $378 million. Adjusted EBITDA expectations are\nalso increasing to 25% of revenue for the full fiscal year.\n\nDave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “The second quarter of the\nfiscal year has continued to yield strong results. The teams are continuing to\nexecute at elevated levels across the board, driven by a sustained high level\nof sales demand and project implementation velocity. We are pleased to be in a\nposition once again to increase our full year expectations as a result of this\ncontinued momentum. The company is well positioned to continue to execute\nagainst the current forecasted plan during the second half of the fiscal\nyear.”\n\n2027 Second Quarter Conference Call and Webcast\n\nAgilysys is hosting a conference call and webcast today, October 26, 2026, at\n4:30 p.m. ET.

Forward-looking statements can be identified by\nwords such as: “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “goal,”\n“seek,” “believe,” “project,” “outlook,” “forecast,”\n“preliminary,” “estimate,” “expect,” “strategy,” “future,”\n“likely,” “may,” “would,” “could,” “should,” “will”\nand similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking\nstatements include, among others, our revenue, subscription revenue and\nAdjusted EBITDA guidance for the 2027 fiscal year.\n\nForward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances of\nfuture performance. Instead, they are based only on our current beliefs,\nexpectations and assumptions regarding the future of our business, future\nplans and strategies, projections, anticipated events and trends, the economy\nand other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the\nfuture, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks and changes in\ncircumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of\nour control. Our actual results and financial condition may differ materially\nfrom those indicated. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these\nforward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause our actual\nresults and financial condition to differ materially from those indicated\nherein and in other filings and statements include, among others, the impact\nmacroeconomic factors may have on the overall business environment, our\nability to achieve our fiscal 2027 guidance, maintaining sales momentum, the\ncompany's ability to convert the backlog into revenue, and the Risk Factors\ndescribed in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange\nCommission, including the Company’s reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q.\nAdditionally, references to \"record\" financial and business levels in this\ndocument refer only to the time period after Agilysys made the transformation\nto an entirely hospitality focused software solutions company in FY2014.\n\nAny forward-looking statement made by us in this press release is based only\non information currently available to us and speaks only as of the date on\nwhich it is made.

The Company defines adjusted net income as net income before\namortization expense (including amortization of developed technology),\nshare-based compensation, other (gains) and charges, net, and legal\nsettlements, less the related income tax effect of these adjustments, as\napplicable, at the Company's current combined federal and state income\nstatutory tax rate and tax events as defined in the accompanying tables and\ndefines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by basic\nand diluted weighted average shares outstanding.\n\nSee the accompanying tables below for the definitions and reconciliation of\nthese non-GAAP measures to the most closely related GAAP measures.\n\nAbout Agilysys\n\nAgilysys delivers state-of-the-art software and services built exclusively for\nhospitality, helping organizations go beyond traditional property management\n(PMS), point-of-sale (POS), and food and beverage inventory and procurement\nsystems.
