Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “While certain sectors within the domestic hospitality industry have seen good recovery since around March of this year, several other market segments, especially in international regions, remain challenged by the pandemic.”
“Despite the lack of recovery in multiple vertical and geographic market areas, this was our best Q1 April – June quarter with respect to sales success and revenue level, slightly higher than Q1 two years ago. We have seen a good pick up in hospitality customers finalizing technology decisions in a couple of domestic market segments. However, continuing implementation delays negatively affected revenue for the quarter, while driving the combined product, services and recurring revenue backlog to record levels.”
“We continue to make good progress with getting our recently modernized software products implemented at various customer properties. Our transformation from being known as a solid, trusted hospitality software solutions enterprise software company to one which is also driven by modern technology-based cloud applications is now underway in full flow, positioning us well for a promising future. Our upcoming increases in sales, marketing, services and support investments will further speed up that transformation process.”
Fiscal 2022 Outlook
Agilysys continues to monitor the impact of COVID-19 on the hospitality industry with our primary focus being the safety of our employees and customers as we manage through these unprecedented times. We are re-iterating our previously released guidance of full year fiscal 2022 revenue of $160 to $170 million and Adjusted EBITDA of slightly better than 15% of revenue.
Dave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We continue to be excited with the solid foundation we have built for long term sustainable growth and profitability. We have positioned the company to be a dependable growing partner for customers and a provider of mission critical, modern technology solutions to the hospitality industry. Now that the industry is starting to see recovery in certain markets, we are beginning to see the sound business fundamentals come through in our financial results. We are executing on our strategic plan and remaining committed to the profitability and success of the company while serving the needs of customers and supporting the recovery of the hospitality industry.”
