Full fiscal year 2026 revenue was a record $319.3 million which included 30.2% year-over-year subscription revenue growth.
“Fiscal 2026 full year sales was an all-time record, which concluded with an excellent record high sales quarter. Subscription sales grew by an impressive 29% over the previous best prior year and will continue to drive subscription revenue growth momentum throughout Fiscal 2027.
Srinivasan continued, “Sweeping AI related changes across the entire organization, especially in R&D, are helping us to improve operating leverage across several business areas and increase the pace of competitive product differentiation of our hospitality focused software solution ecosystem. During the quarter, taking advantage of our deep hospitality software domain knowledge, AI related technology advances available for use today and the potential for deep integration with the rest of our core products including PMS, we began development on and recently announced the launch of a couple of new entirely AI-native software modules - revenue intelligence and CRS - which fill current gaps in our hospitality software solutions ecosystem.
"Fiscal 2026 was an outstanding year across all crucial major metrics, including record shattering sales and world class customer retention levels, which has positioned us well for another record year in Fiscal 2027. We expect Fiscal 2027 full year annual revenue to be in the range of $365 to $370 million and fiscal year 2027 to be the third consecutive year of at least 30% subscription revenue growth. We expect adjusted EBITDA as a percentage of revenue to grow to 24% for the full year from the 21.2% achieved during fiscal 2026. Overall, we are very pleased with our current competitive positioning and expect to continue our disciplined growth march with increasing revenue and profitability levels,” Srinivasan concluded.
Fiscal 2027 Outlook
The Company expects full year Fiscal 2027 revenue to be $365 million to $370 million, including at least 30% year-over-year subscription revenue growth. Adjusted EBITDA is expected to be 24% of revenue for the full fiscal year.
Dave Wood, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Fiscal 2026 was a record-breaking year for us in multiple ways. The sales momentum throughout the fiscal year has carried us into Fiscal 2027 well positioned to achieve another year of record revenue and profitability levels. The consistency of execution across the company has delivered a product suite that continues to generate significant market demand; driving increased sales momentum, excitement about the additional opportunities from artificial intelligence capabilities and an eagerness to implement the ecosystem of solutions. The Fiscal 2027 execution plan will drive yet another year of success for Agilysys, its employees, partners, and customers.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
To supplement the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP in this press release, certain non-GAAP financial measures as defined by the SEC rules are used. 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. Management believes that such information can enhance investors’ understanding of the Company’s ongoing operations.
The Company has included the following non-GAAP financial measures in this press release: adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share and adjusted diluted earnings per share. The Company believes these non-GAAP financial measures provide valuable insight into the Company’s overall profitability from core operations before certain non-cash and non-recurring charges. The Company defines adjusted net income as net income before amortization expense (including amortization of developed technology), share-based compensation, convertible preferred stock issuance costs, and one-time charges including severance and other charges, impairments and legal settlements, less the related income tax effect of these adjustments, as applicable, and defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding.
See the accompanying tables below for the definitions and reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures to the most closely related GAAP measures.
