Quarterly Earnings Increase Significantly to $0.64 Per Diluted Share, Versus Loss of $0.17 Per-Share in Prior-Year's Quarter
CLEVELAND, Feb. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced unaudited financial results for the fiscal 2010 third quarter and nine months ended December 31, 2009.

Fiscal 2010 Third-Quarter Unaudited Results of Operations
Revenue declined 1.7% to $220.4 million from the $224.1 million reported in the third quarter of fiscal 2009. Compared with the prior-year period, hardware sales increased 12.6%, offset by a 39.1% decline in services revenue. Software revenue during the quarter was down slightly compared with last year. Due to a higher proportion of hardware sales and lower service revenue, consolidated gross margin declined to 23.3% of sales during the period, compared with 26.3% in the prior year.
Cost-cutting initiatives and lower acquisition-related intangible amortization drove selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense down $7.0 million, or 14.7%, to $40.5 million during the quarter. Operating income increased $11.8 million to $9.9 million, a substantial improvement from the operating loss of $1.9 million in last year's quarter. Last year's quarterly loss included $13.4 million in restructuring charges, compared with restructuring charges recorded in the current quarter of $0.7 million. Adjusted EBITDA (operating income plus depreciation and amortization) increased to $13.0 million for the quarter, compared with $4.8 million a year ago.
"The solid performance in the quarter reflects a stabilizing demand environment and our focus on managing cost structure," said Martin Ellis, president and chief executive officer. "We are pleased to report that our turnaround remains on track as we generated strong net earnings during the quarter."
Agilysys reported third-quarter net income of $14.9 million, or $0.64 per diluted share, a significant increase from the loss of $3.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, recorded in the previous year's quarter. Other income in the quarter included $2.3 million from a litigation settlement and $2.4 million from the gain recognized on a distribution from the Reserve Fund. Combined these items represented $0.18 per diluted share.
Fiscal 2010 Nine-Month Unaudited Results of Operations
Nine-month fiscal 2010 revenue was $506.0 million versus $575.3 million in the comparable period of fiscal 2009, reflecting lower sales in each of the company's three business segments. Hardware, software and services posted declines of 2.5%, 5.2%, and 39.3% respectively, versus the comparable period a year ago. Gross margin declined to 25.1% from 27.1% in last year's nine months due to the mix of higher hardware and lower services.
SG&A declined by $30.7 million, or 19.8%, to $124.7 million, largely due to cost-reduction initiatives. Adjusted EBITDA was $14.0 million for the nine-month period, versus a loss of $161.2 million in the fiscal 2009 nine-months, which included asset impairment and restructuring charges of $182.6 million. The company reported net income of $5.3 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, for the fiscal 2010 nine-month period, compared with a net loss of $170.3 million, or $7.54 per share, in the same year-ago period.
Business Outlook
"Uncertainty remains regarding the macroeconomic environment and the prospects for growth in demand for IT products and services. However, we are encouraged by the improving demand environment we've seen in the past two quarters. Near-term, we are optimistic regarding our outlook for the final quarter of the fiscal year and expect improved year-over-year financial performance. We have successfully restructured the organization to be profitable at lower revenue levels and are now well positioned with the operating leverage to capitalize on any future increase in IT spending," said Ellis.
