Ramesh Srinivasan, President and CEO of Agilysys, commented, “Despite lingering pandemic related and other business environment challenges in the hospitality industry across Asia, Europe, and managed food services, we are pleased to report our best ever revenue quarter, beating the previous best mark by 11%. Our increasing competitive advantage driven by broad-based effective product innovation over the past few years and strong business health of the gaming casino and multi-amenity resort market verticals are contributing to improving financial performance. The increased availability and market acceptance of our end-to-end cloud native software solutions also helped drive a 33% year-over-year increase in subscription revenue.
One-time product and services revenue improved during Q4. We believe the supply chain management efforts we have put in place and improved implementations will continue to support these revenue levels moving forward. The combined product, recurring revenue and services backlog levels remain close to record levels – at about 98% of where we ended the previous quarter. We operate in an immensely big total addressable market relative to our current size and we have done the hard, successful work during the past years of making our products cloud native and world class, giving us the fuel to increase our market share across all market verticals. Our high level of caring customer service continues to be a differentiator in the market place; we remain one of the few technology vendors who can provide end-to-end integrated solutions to empower hospitality teams to deliver exceptional guest experiences, and we are making good progress with increasing our sales and marketing strengths.
We expect fiscal 2023 annual revenue to be in the range of $190 to $195 million, driven among other factors by year-over-year subscription revenue growth of around 30% and adjusted EBITDA to remain greater than 15% of revenue. We are pleased with our Q4 fiscal 2022 results across the board. This is only the beginning.”
Fiscal 2023 Outlook
Agilysys is expecting full year fiscal 2023 revenue to be $190 to $195 million, a 17-20% growth over fiscal 2022 results and including approximately 30% subscription revenue growth year over year. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to remain greater than 15% of revenue.
Dave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We are pleased to be back at quarter and annual record revenue levels. Our world-class SaaS solutions continued to drive subscription revenue forward at an increased pace. An overwhelming majority of new customers and properties are choosing cloud implementations. We are maintaining high levels of operational discipline to support profitable revenue growth and are well positioned to execute successfully on our long-term strategic plan as the hospitality recovery phase continues to unfold.”
