Agilysys Inc (AGYS) Q4 2025 Earnings Call Highlights: Record Revenue and Subscription Growth ...
Release Date: May 19, 2025 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Agilysys Inc (NASDAQ:AGYS) reported a record global sales year for fiscal 2025, with significant growth in subscription software and services. The company achieved its 13th consecutive record revenue quarter, with Q4 revenue increasing by 19.4% year-over-year. Subscription revenue grew by 42.7% in Q4, marking a record 64.4% of total recurring revenue. Agilysys Inc (NASDAQ:AGYS) successfully modernized its POS platform, leading to improved sales momentum and customer satisfaction. The company expanded its sales and services teams, enhancing its capacity for future growth and customer support. Despite strong sales, the product backlog for perpetual license software and hardware remains at only about 60% of previous peak levels. The company faces challenges in accelerating the migration of legacy POS customers to the new cloud model, as customer timelines control the pace. International sales growth is still dependent on large, 'home run' wins, indicating potential volatility in this market segment. Agilysys Inc (NASDAQ:AGYS) has not included any material subscription revenue from the Marriott PMS project in its fiscal 2026 guidance, reflecting uncertainty in project timelines. Operating leverage is limited, with expected increases in sales and marketing expenses potentially offsetting gains in other areas. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 3 Warning Signs with AGYS. Q: Can you explain the recent success in POS bookings and the factors driving this improvement? A: The improvement is largely due to the installation of the newer, fully modernized, and unified POS platform. This platform integrates guest-facing and staff-facing features, making it easier to implement. As a result, Agilysys is now seen as a premium POS provider, and the momentum from Q4 is expected to continue. (Ramesh Srinivasan, CEO) Q: How is the mix of customers using Agilysys implementation teams versus third-party support evolving, and does this affect the revenue growth for professional services? A: Most implementations are done by Agilysys teams due to the complexity of the software. The 5-10% growth in professional services revenue is attributed to normal services growth, not third-party support. Customer-paid R&D efforts are also a factor but are unpredictable quarter to quarter. (Ramesh Srinivasan, CEO) Q: What is the expected organic subscription revenue growth for fiscal 2026, and how does it break down between POS and PMS solutions? A: While specific growth rates for POS and PMS are not disclosed, PMS is expected to grow at a higher percentage due to its lower base. The overall subscription revenue growth is projected at 25%, with organic growth closer to 22-23%, excluding the Book for Time acquisition. (Dave Wood, CFO) Q: Can you discuss the momentum in add-on sales and which products are seeing the strongest adoption rates? A: Add-on modules, particularly on the PMS side, add significant value and are driving strong adoption. These modules create an ecosystem that offers operational efficiency and guest experience improvements, making them attractive to customers. The unified POS platform also benefits from add-on modules, contributing to sales momentum. (Ramesh Srinivasan, CEO) Q: What are the early readings from the beta testing with Marriott, and how is the project progressing? A: The beta testing with Marriott is progressing well, with positive feedback from property personnel. The project is complex and transformational, involving multiple vendors, but the testing phase is going smoothly, and there is excitement among Marriott properties for the technology transformation.
