Overview 

Agilysys has been driving hospitality software innovations for more than 40 years, delivering cloud-native SaaS and on-premise ready 
guest-centric technology solutions for gaming, hotels, resorts and cruise lines, corporate foodservice management, restaurants, 
universities, stadiums and healthcare. Agilysys offers the most comprehensive software solutions in the hospitality industry, including 
point-of-sale (POS), property management (PMS), inventory and procurement, payments, and related applications, to manage the 
entire guest journey. Agilysys is also known for its world class customer-centric service and recent investments in research and 
development, having modernized virtually all its longstanding trusted software solutions. Some of the largest hospitality companies 
around the world use Agilysys solutions to help improve guest loyalty, drive revenue growth and increase operational efficiencies. 
Agilysys operates across North America, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and India with headquarters located in Alpharetta, 
GA. 

The Company has just one reportable segment serving the global hospitality industry. 

Our principal executive offices are located at 1000 Windward Concourse, Suite 250, Alpharetta, Georgia, 30005. 

Reference herein to any particular year or quarter refers to periods within our fiscal year ended March 31. For example, fiscal 2022 
refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.  

History and Significant Events 

Organized in 1963 as Pioneer-Standard Electronics, Inc., an Ohio corporation, we began operations as a distributor of electronic 
components and, later, enterprise computer solutions. Exiting the former business in fiscal 2003 with the sale of our Industrial 
Electronic Division, we used the proceeds to reduce debt and fund growth of our enterprise solutions business. This included acquiring 
businesses focused on higher-margin and more specialized solutions for the hospitality and retail industries. At the same time, we 
changed our name to Agilysys, Inc. 

In fiscal 2004, we acquired Inter-American Data, Inc., which allowed us to become the leading developer and provider of technology 
solutions for hotel property management and inventory management in the casino and resort industries. 

In fiscal 2007, we exited the enterprise computer distribution business. We used the proceeds from that sale to return cash to 
shareholders and fund a number of acquisitions that broadened our solutions and capabilities portfolios. We acquired InfoGenesis, 
Inc., Visual One Systems Corp. and Eatec Corporation in fiscal 2008, significantly expanding our specialized offerings to the 
hospitality industry through enterprise-class POS, PMS and inventory and procurement software solutions tailored for a variety of 
applications in cruise, golf, spa, gaming, lodging, resort and catering. These offerings feature highly intuitive, secure and robust 
solutions, easily scalable across multiple departments or property locations. 

In fiscal 2012, we sold our IT solutions business and restructured our business model to focus on higher-margin, profitable growth 
opportunities in the hospitality and retail sectors. We also reduced our real-estate footprint and lowered overhead costs by relocating 
corporate services from Solon, Ohio to Alpharetta, Georgia, thus moving our senior management team closer to our remaining 
operating units. 

In fiscal 2014, we sold our retail solutions and services business to Kyrus Solutions, Inc. (Kyrus), an affiliate of Clearlake Capital 
Group, L.P. Following completion of the transaction, our business focused exclusively on hospitality solutions and the growth 
opportunities in the hospitality market. 

In fiscal 2018, we opened a software development center in Chennai, India, to supplement our product development efforts. 

We converted to a Delaware corporation in February 2022. 

Today, we are focused on providing state-of-the-art, end-to-end solutions that enhance guest experiences and allow our customers to 
promote their brands. We help our customers win the guest recruitment battle and, in turn, grow revenue, reduce costs and increase 
efficiency. This is accomplished by developing and deploying innovative solutions that increase data speed and accuracy, integrate 

4 

 
with other enterprise systems and create a common infrastructure for managing guest data thereby enabling more effective 
management, intelligent upselling, reduced shrinkage, improved brand recognition and better control of the guest relationship. 

Our strategy is to increase the proportion of revenue we derive from subscription services, cloud applications, ongoing support and 
maintenance agreements, and professional services. 

Products, Support and Professional Services 

We are a leading developer and marketer of software-enabled solutions and services to the hospitality industry, including software 
solutions fully integrated with third party hardware and operating systems; support, maintenance and subscription services; and 
professional services. Areas of specialization are point of sale, property management, and a broad range of solutions that support the 
ecosystem of these core solutions. 

We present revenue and costs of goods sold in three categories: 

•  Products (hardware and software) 
•  Support, maintenance and subscription services 
•  Professional services 

Total revenue for these three specific areas is as follows:

Products: Products revenue is comprised of revenue from the sale of software along with third party hardware and operating systems. 
Software sales include up front revenue for licensing our solutions on a perpetual basis. Software sales are driven by our solutions’ 
ability to help customers meet the demands of their guests and improve operating efficiencies. Our software revenue is also driven by 
the ability of our customers to configure our solutions for their specific needs and the robust catalog of integrations we offer to third 
party solutions. Our software solutions require varying form factors of third party hardware and operating systems to operate, such as 
staff facing terminals, kiosk solutions, mobile tablets or servers. Third party hardware and operating system revenue is typically driven 
by new customer wins and existing customer hardware refresh purchases.  

Support, Maintenance and Subscription Services: Technical software support, software maintenance and software subscription 
services are a significant portion of our consolidated revenue and typically generate higher profit margins than products revenue. 
Growth has been driven by a strategic focus on developing and promoting end-to-end solutions while market demand for innovative 
new products addressing specific hospitality needs continues to reinforce this trend. Our commitment to exceptional service has 
enabled us to become a trusted partner with customers who wish to optimize the level of service they provide to their guests and 
maximize commerce opportunities both on premise and in the cloud. 

Professional Services: We have industry-leading expertise in designing, implementing, integrating and installing customized solutions 
into both traditional and newly created platforms. For existing enterprises, we seamlessly integrate new systems and for start-ups and 
fast-growing customers, we become a partner that can manage large-scale rollouts and tight construction schedules. Our extensive 
experience ranges from staging equipment to phased rollouts as well as training staff to provide operational expertise to help achieve 
maximum effectiveness and efficiencies in a manner that saves our customers time and money. 

Our portfolio of hospitality software solutions: 

The hospitality industry has long been focused on operating end-to-end businesses, but the technology vendors that service the 
industry have been focused on product-centric solutions that make use of a high number of software modules and operating silos. To 
resolve this disconnect and more effectively align with the business operations of our customers, we have evolved our approach to be 
focused on delivering integrated “platform-centric” solutions for Lodging and Food & Beverage functions, including the applications 
necessary to support this ecosystem.

Our technology platform is aimed at transitioning our product and services offerings to better address the needs of hospitality 
operators as they focus on building better connections with guests before, during and post-visit. We offer an end-to-end solution that 
helps our customers improve the guest experience, optimize staff efficiency, increase top-line performance and reduce operating costs, 
which leads to opportunities for higher profitability. Our integrated yet modular products allow hospitality operators to recruit and 
retain customers into their facilities, increase their wallet share from each guest and improve the overall experience throughout the 
entire guest journey – from the initial customer touch point through post-visit interactions. 

With our omni-channel suite of software products, we are uniquely positioned to offer solutions that allow customers to adhere to 
social distancing guidelines, offer contactless solutions at every point of the guest journey, and maximize operational efficiency all 
while providing an improved guest experience.  

Point of Sale (POS) Solutions: 

Agilysys POS solution suite allows customers to provide their guests with an omni-channel experience within their property. Guests 
are empowered to create their own experiences through ordering from a mobile device or walking up to a self-service kiosk, but also 
providing for a more traditional experience with staff by interacting with a cashier or bar, or having a server come to them. 
Irrespective of the channel of interaction for the guest, our POS suite provides a single integrated enterprise-grade back-office 
management system with robust reporting capabilities. This allows our customers to manage menus, price changes, purchasing trends, 
inventory management and sales reporting from a single integrated source providing for increased efficiency as well as providing a 
richer guest profile. 

Agilysys InfoGenesis® POS is an award-winning point of sale solution that combines a fast, intuitive and highly customizable 
terminal application with powerful, flexible reporting and configuration capabilities in the back office management portal. The system 
is easy to set up, and its scalable architecture enables customers to add workstations without having to build out expensive 
infrastructure. InfoGenesis supports a wide range of POS devices from traditional POS terminals to iPads, Android tablets and mobile 
phones, allowing customers to seamlessly deploy a mix of POS experiences based upon guest and server requirements. The system’s 
detailed and high-quality reporting capabilities provide insight into sales data and guest purchasing trends. Engineered for all regions 
of the world, the InfoGenesis POS solution suite offers a multinational set of features, including language, currency and local fiscal 
reporting, coupled with a robust enterprise management capability enabling the largest global customers to efficiently run their 
businesses. With a foundation platform of modern integration APIs, the solution is also capable of integrating with a variety of 
ancillary applications allowing our customers to keep their entire technology estate. InfoGenesis POS is available as a cloud-based or 
on-premise solution. 

Agilysys IG Flex is a mobility solution that offers full point of sale functionality on a Windows tablet in 6, 8, or 10” form factors. It 
provides a sleek, modern alternative to traditional point of sale installations and can be used as a slim fixed terminal or as a convertible 
mobile POS simply by removing the tablet from its base. 

Agilysys IG KDS is a digital kitchen management solution that integrates with InfoGenesis, IG Buy® Kiosk and IG OnDemand to 
deliver staff and customer-originated orders to the kitchen for preparation. Custom attributes such as guest phone number, name, guest 
location or packaging instructions can be provided on each incoming order so the order can be fulfilled promptly to guests. Guests can 
optionally be notified of order completion via an order status monitor (OSM) or via text message.

Agilysys IG Buy is an enterprise-class self-service, customer-facing kiosk point of sale solution for the hospitality industry. It is ideal 
for food & beverage venues such as buffets, grab ‘n go, corporate cafeterias and food courts. Its flexibility supports a variety of 
operational workflows, such as “order and pay”, “order only”, “pay at cashier” and “self-check-out,” and integrates with a variety of 
property management, casino management and loyalty systems. IG Buy Kiosk is currently deployed at more than 270 customer sites 
across the country, including corporate cafeterias at a top five U.S. bank, a top 40 U.S. law firm, one of the nation’s largest technology 
manufacturers, and at a national financial services firm. 

Agilysys IG Buy’s intuitive guest-facing order and pay experiences transfer the control and convenience to the end user. The self-
service components reduce on-site labor needed to manage venue operations, while improving guest throughput, check size, order 
accuracy, guest experience and satisfaction. The platform-driven and cloud-based solution allows for easy deployments and 
management at scale resulting in a lowered overall cost of ownership. 

Agilysys IG OnDemand provides a visual, interactive food and beverage ordering experience to any mobile device – phone, tablet, 
laptop – with a browser-based self-service experience. Using a simple, intuitive interface, guests can easily order and reorder from 
anywhere across the property, driving order velocity and volume. 

Agilysys IG OnDemand allows our customers to immediately offer an online ordering platform that is natively integrated with their 
physical location operations. Menus and price updates can be done in one place and automatically updated across all channels – online 
web store, digital menus and app ordering as well as POS terminals. Orders placed online are routed automatically to the appropriate 
kitchen for preparation. Orders placed from all channels are automatically available on the POS terminal at the physical location. 

Agilysys IG OnDemand Full Service is a complete contactless self-service F&B ordering solution that offers an intuitive guest-facing 
order and pay experience. IG OnDemand allows guests to place and pay for orders using their own device - phone, tablet, laptop – for 
pick-up or delivery orders, as well as for a tableside order and pay experience. It supports ordering for multiple guests at a table over 
the course of a meal using their own devices making the ordering process touchless while freeing up staff to spend more time with 
guests. The result is dramatically increased revenue opportunities and more chances to enhance guest service. 

Agilysys IG Quick Pay allows guests to use their own mobile device, scan a QR code on the InfoGenesis check, review a digital copy 
of the check, add a tip & initiate payment, maintaining a fully touchless guest payment experience. The product can be sold as a 
standalone payment solution or can be bundled with IG OnDemand for a complete order and pay experience. 

Agilysys IG Smart Menu provides a touchless menu display on a guest’s own mobile device - phone, tablet, laptop. Simply scan a QR 
code to access a venue menu that is linked directly to the actual items available in the IG OnDemand system, not a pdf or a website 
link. The product can be sold as a standalone menu solution or can be bundled with IG OnDemand for a complete menu, order and pay 
experience. 

Agilysys IG Digital Menu Board provides large screen menu and image display on commercial television monitors. It will display a 
venue menu that is linked directly to the actual items available in the IG OnDemand system, not a pdf or a website link, so it can 
easily reflect the latest items and pricing.  

Property Management Systems (PMS): 

Agilysys offers the most comprehensive suite of property management applications to serve the needs of our integrated resort and 
hospitality customers. Our platforms enable our customers to provide a seamless experience to their guests while driving operational 

7 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
efficiencies throughout the value chain. Our PMS suite of applications consists of the core property management system, a 
commission free booking engine, self-service check in and check out solutions, spa, golf, retail, accounting, sales and catering, service 
request optimization and condo management applications. 

Agilysys LMS™ is an on-premise or hosted, web and mobile-enabled, PMS solution targeting the operator with large, complex 
operations. It runs 24/7 to automate every aspect of hotel operations in properties from 100 to over 7,000 rooms, and has interfaces to 
a wide array of industry applications including but not limited to all core casino management systems and leading global distribution 
systems. Its foundation expands to incorporate modules for activities scheduling, attraction ticketing and more. 

Agilysys Visual One® PMS is installed in hotels and resorts ranging from 50-1,500 rooms. It is a complete hospitality solution 
expanding beyond traditional PMS solutions enabling the resort to run its end-to-end operations, including front desk, housekeeping, 
maintenance, accounting, and condo owner management, with tight integration to Agilysys Sales & Catering, Spa, Golf, and 
Activities. Visual One provides an integrated solution with interfaces to leading global distribution systems, casino management 
systems, hospitality automation and our other products. 

Agilysys Stay PMS is the company’s cloud-native SaaS property management system that optimizes operational efficiency, increases 
revenue and enhances guest service. Agilysys Stay is currently generally available for all hotels and chains, as well as for select 
service casino hotels. The guest-centric PMS leverages an open architecture with restful APIs to enable richly integrated applications 
delivered from Agilysys, its partners and customers. Agilysys Stay offers powerful capabilities for multi-property operations, allowing 
managers to view guest profiles, history and reservations, as well as room availability and operational reports, seamlessly across 
multiple properties. 

Focused on improving revenue and streamlining operations, Agilysys Stay is designed to enable hotels to gather and analyze guest 
information across properties that can be used to create loyalty-generating offers and increase guest wallet share. In addition, running 
natively in a browser on both desktop and tablet devices, it delivers real-time operating metrics so that hotels can more accurately 
forecast demand and scale guest services accordingly. 

Virtual Check-in and Check-out Solutions 

Today’s hotels cater to guests with high expectations when it comes to technological efficiency. An emerging trend in the hotel 
industry that has accelerated in the COVID-19 environment where social distancing is often the norm, is the ability for guests to check 
themselves in or out of their room without interacting with the front desk. To that end, we offer software modules that enable this 
approach and are fully integrated with our core PMS solutions. 

Point of Sale and Property Management Ecosystem Offerings: 

The following solutions integrate with and are complementary to our point of sale or property management systems, or both. These 
solutions, for the most part, can stand alone and do not require POS or PMS to be functional. However, we lead with our core POS 
and PMS solutions discussed above and focus on selling these complimentary ecosystem solutions into our customer base.

Industry and Markets 

We are a technology software solutions company exclusively focused on the hospitality industry. Our products have been enabling 
mission-critical core hospitality operations for more than four decades. Our software solutions are required to run the operations of the 
hospitality business and designed to drive substantial customer benefits through increased revenue, improved operational efficiency, 
enhanced guest experience and improved employee morale. In addition, many of our solutions enable social distancing capabilities for 
our customers. Our innovative software solutions described above have been purpose-built to serve the unique needs of the following 
hospitality verticals: casinos, hotels, resorts, cruise ships, managed foodservice providers, sports and entertainment, and healthcare. 
We operate across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and India with headquarters located in Alpharetta, GA. 

Some verticals we serve continue to face uncertainties with the COVID-19 pandemic. As more people receive vaccinations and 
pandemic-related restrictions continue to ease, the markets we serve are recovering and re-opening to their customers. The long-term 
outlook remains strong and we expect the momentum from the three years preceding the pandemic to continue building with a 
growing focus on social distancing and mobile applications. Prior to COVID-19, we estimated our total addressable market to be 
approximately $4.8 billion in annual recurring revenue opportunity. While the size of the opportunity might face pressure in an 
economic downturn, we feel it is still in the billions of dollars and we are only a fraction of that size. We continue to feel good about 
our opportunity to win market share given our relative competitive strength in the industry.  

Customers 

Our customers include large, medium-sized and boutique hospitality providers, both owned and franchised, as well as divisions or 
departments of large corporations in the hospitality industry. We concentrate on serving the needs of customers in a range of 
customer-focused settings where brand differentiation is important and guest recruitment is intense. Our customer base is highly 
fragmented. 

Human Capital 

As of March 31, 2022, we employed approximately 1,400 employees, with approximately 63%, 30%, 3%, 3%, and 1% of our 
employees located in India, the United States, APAC, Canada, and EMEA, respectively. We consider our relationship with our 
employees to be good and a critical factor in our success. 

Our senior management team is responsible for developing and executing our human capital strategy. We seek employees who share a 
passion for technology and its ability to improve our customers’ businesses in hospitality. We believe we offer fair, competitive 
compensation and benefits that support our employees’ overall well-being and foster their growth and development. We offer our 
employees pay and benefits packages that we believe are competitive with others throughout our industry, as well as within the local 
markets in which we operate, and align individual performance with our success. 

We are committed to providing our employees with an environment free of discrimination, harassment and workplace violence. We 
make all benefit and employment-related decisions in compliance with established equal employment opportunity statutes and without 
regard to religion, national origin, age, gender, race, color, ancestry, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, citizenship, 
pregnancy, medical condition or any other protected class status, as defined by local, state or federal laws. All employees, directors, 
independent contractors, and other parties who work with Agilysys are expected to create a working environment where everyone is 
respected, regardless of individual differences. We believe that each of our employees' individual character, virtues, and individual 
experiences will leverage our ability to attract and retain quality employees, customers, and suppliers. 

Seasonality 

Occasionally, the timing of large one-time orders, such as those associated with significant remarketed product sales around large 
customer refresh cycles or significant volume rollouts, creates variability in our quarterly results. 

Competition 

Our solutions face a highly competitive market. Competition exists with respect to developing and maintaining relationships with 
customers, pricing for products and solutions, and customer support and service. 

We compete with other full-service providers that sell and service bundled POS and PMS solutions comprised of hardware, software, 
support, subscription and services. These companies, some of which are much larger than we are, include Oracle Corp., Shiji, 

12 

 
 
Amadeus IT Group and Infor. We also compete with smaller software companies like Maestro. In addition, we compete with PMS 
systems that are designed and maintained in-house by large hotel chains. 

Environmental Matters 

We believe we are compliant in all material respects with all applicable environmental laws. Presently, we do not anticipate that such 
compliance will have a material effect on capital expenditures, earnings or competitive position with respect to any of our operations. 

Access to Information 

Our annual reports on Form 10-K, quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, current reports on Form 8-K and any amendments to these reports 
are available free of charge through our corporate website, http://www.agilysys.com, as soon as reasonably practicable after such 
material is electronically filed with, or furnished to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The information posted on our 
website is not incorporated into this Annual Report. Reports, proxy and information statements, and other information regarding 
issuers that file electronically, are maintained on the SEC website, http://www.sec.gov. 

Item 1A.  Risk Factors. 

Our business is impacted by changes in macroeconomic and/or global conditions. 

Risks Relating to Our Business 
Markets, Competition, and Operations 

Because we conduct our business internationally, changes in global, national, or regional economies, governmental policies (including 
in areas such as trade, travel, immigration, healthcare, and related issues), political unrest, armed conflicts (such as the 2022 Russian 
invasion of Ukraine), natural disasters, or outbreaks of disease (such as the COVID-19 pandemic) may impact our business. Any 
general weakening of, and related declining corporate confidence in, the global economy or the curtailment in corporate spending 
could cause current or potential customers to reduce or eliminate their information technology budgets and spending, which could 
cause customers to delay, decrease or cancel purchases of our products and services; cause customers not to pay us; or to delay 
payment for previously purchased products and services. 

For example, our business is impacted by decreases in travel and leisure activities resulting from weak economic conditions, increases 
in energy prices and changes in currency values, political instability, heightened travel security measures, travel advisories, disruptions 
in air travel, and concerns over disease, violence, war, or terrorism. As discussed below under “COVID-19 has adversely impacted our 
business and may further impact our business, financial results and liquidity for an unknown period of time,” our performance has 
been affected by these conditions associated with COVID-19 and could be further materially affected going forward if these 
conditions continue for an additional extended period or in other circumstances that we are unable to foresee or mitigate. Even after 
COVID-19 subsides, our business, markets, growth prospects and business model could be materially impacted or altered as a result of 
adverse changes in travel and leisure activities. 

Similarly, increases in energy prices can result in higher ingredient and food costs for our customers with restaurant operations, which 
may adversely affect demand for our customers’ restaurant businesses, and in turn, our business, financial results and liquidity. 

COVID-19 has adversely impacted our business and may further impact our business, financial results and liquidity for an 
unknown period of time. 

The global spread and unprecedented impact of COVID-19 has resulted in disruption to our business, the hospitality industry and the 
global economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has led government and other authorities around the world to impose measures intended to 
control its spread, including restrictions on freedom of movement, gatherings of large numbers of people, and business operations 
such as travel bans, border closings, business closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders, and social distancing measures. Even as 
these restrictions have been relaxed in many parts of the world, including across the United States, they remain effective in other parts 
of the world and have frequently been re-imposed in many locations after having been relaxed as a result of additional outbreaks. As a 
result, the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences have significantly reduced demand for gaming, hotels, resorts, cruises, corporate 
foodservice, restaurants, university cafeterias, and stadiums and have had a material detrimental impact on global commercial activity 
across these hospitality industries that we serve, and in some cases, has caused the closure of our customers’ businesses. Business 
closures have resulted in our inability to complete certain implementations and negatively impacted our ability to recognize revenue. 

We saw an improvement in the overall business environment and the hospitality market we serve during the second half of our fiscal 
2021 (the year ended March 31, 2021) that continued through our fiscal 2022 as our customers re-opened their locations for business 
and our suppliers resumed operations that had been closed or reduced due to the pandemic. Based on the improved business 

13 

 
environment and our financial performance, we have resumed certain levels of spending; however, we will continue to assess 
spending activity as the facts and circumstances surrounding the pandemic evolve. Any resulting cost controls may have an adverse 
impact on our business, particularly if they remain in place for an extended period. As the pandemic has evolved, we have also 
adapted our pandemic response based on the conditions of the locations in which we and our customers and suppliers operate. We 
expect to incur additional costs to the extent we further resume business-related travel and our employees return to our office 
locations, the timing and extent of which remains undetermined at this time. We expect the office activity will vary significantly from 
region to region based on factors such as the availability of vaccines and the spread and overall impact of any new virus variants. 

Notwithstanding the recovery in the business environment since the early part of the pandemic, given the uncertainty associated with 
the pandemic, our ability to predict how it will impact our business, financial condition, liquidity, and financial results in future 
periods is limited. 

Our business may be adversely impacted by international trade disputes. 

We depend on third-party manufacturers and suppliers located outside of the United States, including in China, in connection with the 
supply of certain of our hardware products and related components. Accordingly, our business is subject to risks associated with 
international supply. For example, in recent years the United States has imposed and extended greater restrictions on international 
trade and significant increases in tariffs on goods imported into the United States from China and other countries. Increased tariffs, 
including on goods imported from China, or the institution of additional protectionist trade measures could adversely affect our supply 
costs, and in turn, our business, financial results and liquidity.  

Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new products, product upgrades and services that achieve market 
acceptance. 

Our business is characterized by rapid and continual changes in technology and evolving industry standards. We believe that in order 
to remain competitive in the future we need to continue to develop new products, product upgrades and services, requiring the 
investment of significant financial resources. If we fail to accurately anticipate our customer’s needs and technological trends, or are 
otherwise unable to complete the development of a product or product upgrade on a timely basis, we will be unable to introduce new 
products or product upgrades into the market that are demanded by our customers and prospective customers on a timely basis, if at 
all, and our business and operating results would be materially and adversely affected. 

The development process for most new products and product upgrades is complicated, involves a significant commitment of time and 
resources and is subject to a number of risks and challenges including: 

•  Managing the length of the development cycle for new products and product enhancements; 
•  Adapting to emerging and evolving industry standards and to technological developments by our competitors and customers; 

and 

•  Extending the operation of our products and services to new and evolving platforms, operating systems and hardware 

products, such as mobile devices. 

Our product development activities are costly and recovering our investment in product development may take a significant amount of 
time, if it occurs at all. We anticipate continuing to make significant investments in software research and development and related 
product opportunities because we believe it is necessary to compete successfully. We cannot estimate with any certainty when we will, 
if ever, receive significant revenues from these investments.  

If we are not successful in managing these risks and challenges, or if our new products, product upgrades, and services are not 
technologically competitive or do not achieve market acceptance, our business and operating results could be adversely affected. 

We face extensive competition in the markets in which we operate, and our failure to compete effectively could result in price 
reductions and/or decreased demand for our products and services. 

Several companies offer products and services similar to ours. The rapid rate of technological change in the hospitality market makes 
it likely we will face competition from new products designed by companies not currently competing with us. We believe our 
competitive ability depends on our product offerings, our experience in the hospitality industry, our product development and systems 
integration capability, and our customer service organization. There is no assurance, however, that we will be able to compete 
effectively in the hospitality technology market in the future. 

We compete for customers based on several factors, including price. The competitive markets in which we operate may oblige us to 
reduce our prices in order to contend with the pricing models of our competitors. If our competitors discount certain products or 

14 

 
services, we may have to lower prices on certain products or services in order to attract or retain customers. Any such price 
modifications would likely reduce margins and could have adverse effects. In addition, if we fail to reduce our prices in order to 
contend with the pricing models of our competitors, we may not be able to retain customers or grow our business, which could 
adversely affect our revenues and liquidity. 

Our future success depends on our ability to execute on growth or strategic initiatives, properly manage investments in our 
business and operations, and enhance our existing operations and infrastructure. 

Our success also depends on our ability to execute on other growth or strategic initiatives we are pursuing. A key element of our long-
term strategy is to continue to invest in and grow our business and operations, both organically and through acquisitions. 

Investments in new markets, solutions, and technologies, R&D, infrastructure and systems, geographic expansion, and headcount are 
critical components for achieving this strategy. In particular, we believe that we must continue to dedicate a significant amount of 
resources to our research and development efforts to maintain our competitive position. Our investments in research and development 
may result in products or services that generate less revenue than we anticipate. 

However, such investments and efforts present challenges and risks and may not be successful (financially or otherwise), especially in 
new areas in which we have little or no experience, and even if successful, may negatively impact our profitability in the short-term. 
To be successful in such efforts, we must be able to properly allocate limited investment funds and other resources, prioritize among 
opportunities, balance the extent and timing of investments with the associated impact on profitability, balance our focus between new 
areas and the servicing of our existing customers, capture efficiencies and economies of scale, and compete in the new areas, or with 
the new solutions, in which we have invested. 

Our success also depends on our ability to effectively and efficiently enhance our existing operations. Our existing infrastructure, 
systems, security, processes, and personnel may not be adequate for our current or future needs. System upgrades or new 
implementations can be complex, time-consuming, and expensive and we cannot assure you that we will not experience problems 
during or following such implementations, including among others, potential disruptions in our operations or financial reporting. 

If we are unable to properly execute on growth initiatives, manage our investments, and enhance our existing operations and 
infrastructure, our results of operations and market share may be materially adversely affected. 

Our dependence on certain strategic partners makes us vulnerable to the extent we rely on them. 

We rely on a concentrated number of suppliers for the majority of our hardware and for certain software and related services needs. 
We do not have long term agreements with many of these suppliers. If we can no longer obtain these hardware, software or services 
needs from our major suppliers due to mergers, acquisitions or consolidation within the marketplace, material changes in their partner 
programs, their refusal to continue to supply to us on reasonable terms or at all, and we cannot find suitable replacement suppliers, it 
may have a material adverse impact on our future operating results and gross margins. 

For certain products and services, including our cloud hosting operations, we rely on third-party providers, which may create 
significant risk exposure for us. 

We maintain relationships with third parties to provide certain services to us or to our customers, including cloud hosting and other 
cloud-based services. We make contractual obligations to customers based on these relationships and, in some cases, also entrust these 
providers with both our own sensitive data as well as the sensitive data of our customers (that may include sensitive guest data). If 
these third-party providers do not perform as expected or encounter service disruptions, cyber-attacks, data breaches, or other 
difficulties, we or our customers may be materially and adversely affected, including, among other things, by facing increased costs, 
potential liability to customers, guests, or other third parties, regulatory issues, and reputational harm. If it is necessary to migrate 
these services to other providers because of poor performance, security considerations, or other financial or operational factors, it 
could result in service disruptions to our customers and significant time, expense, or exposure to us, any of which could materially 
adversely impact our business. 

We also purchase hardware and technology, in some cases, by or from companies that may compete with us or work with our 
competitors. While we endeavor to use larger, more established providers wherever possible, in some cases, these providers may be 
smaller, less established companies, particularly in the case of new or unique technologies that we have not developed internally, or in 
an effort to benefit our margins.  

If any of these providers experience financial, operational, or quality assurance difficulties, or if any cease production, or there is any 
other disruption in the services we or our customers receive, including as a result of the acquisition of a supplier or partner by a 

15 

 
competitor, macroeconomic issues like those described above (such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the 2022 Russian invasion of 
Ukraine), or otherwise, we will be required to locate and migrate to alternative sources or providers, to internally develop the 
applicable technologies, to redesign our products, or to remove certain features from our products or to reduce our service levels, any 
of which would likely increase our expenses, create delays, or negatively impact our revenues. Although we strive to establish 
contractual protections with key providers, such as source code escrows, warranties, and indemnities, we may not be successful in 
obtaining adequate protections, these agreements may be short-term in duration, and the counterparties may be unwilling or unable to 
stand behind such protections. Moreover, these types of contractual protections offer limited practical benefits to us in the event our 
relationship with a key provider is interrupted. 

If we cannot retain and recruit qualified personnel, or if labor costs continue to rise, our ability to operate and grow our business 
may be impaired and our financial results may suffer. 

We depend on the services of our management and employees to continuously run and grow our business. To grow successfully, we 
must retain existing employees and attract new qualified employees, including in growth areas we may enter. Retention is an industry 
challenge given the competitive technology labor market, especially with the remote work options brought on by the COVID-19 
pandemic. As we grow, we must also enhance and expand our workforce to execute on new and larger opportunities and challenges. 
The market for qualified personnel is competitive in the geographies in which we operate and may be limited especially in technology 
areas. We may be at a disadvantage to larger companies with greater brand recognition or financial resources or to start-ups or other 
emerging companies in trending market sectors. Remote employment arrangements also come with challenges, including with respect 
to collaboration, training, and corporate culture, especially at a significant scale. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified 
personnel when and where they are needed or to manage effectively our remote workforce, our ability to operate and grow our 
business could be impaired. Moreover, if we are not able to properly balance our investments in personnel with revenues, our 
profitability may be adversely affected. 

While the market for talent in our industry has been competitive for many years, in recent quarters, the labor market has become even 
tighter, increasing the difficulty and lead time in filling open positions with qualified candidates. Ongoing labor shortages or 
increasing labor costs could negatively impact our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows, especially if rising costs 
outpace our revenue growth. 

Our international operations have many associated risks.  

We continue to strategically manage our presence in international markets, and these efforts require significant management attention 
and financial resources. We may not be able to successfully penetrate international markets, or, if we do, there can be no assurance 
that we will grow our business in these markets at the same rate as in North America. Because of these inherent complexities and 
challenges, lack of success in international markets could adversely affect our business, results of operations, cash flow, and financial 
condition. 

We have international offices in Canada, the United Kingdom, China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and India. 
We have committed resources to maintaining and further expanding, where appropriate, our sales offices and sales and support 
channels in key international markets. However, our efforts may not be successful. International sales are subject to many risks and 
difficulties, including those arising from the following: building and maintaining a competitive presence in new markets; staffing and 
managing foreign operations; complying with a variety of foreign laws; producing localized versions of our products; developing 
integrations between our products and other locally-used products; import and export restrictions and tariffs, enforcing contracts and 
collecting accounts receivable; unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; reduced protection for intellectual property rights in 
some countries; potential adverse tax treatment; language and cultural barriers; currency fluctuations; and political and economic 
instability abroad.  

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events affecting our principal facilities could cripple our business. 

Natural disasters or other catastrophic events, particularly those affecting employees in our Alpharetta headquarters or India research 
and development center, may cause damage or disruption to our operations, and thus could have a negative effect on us. Most of our 
administrative functions are concentrated in our Alpharetta headquarters and most of our software development activity is 
concentrated in our India research and development center. We maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, and during 
the COVID-19 pandemic, substantially all of our employees throughout the world have been capable of working from home for 
months at a time without significantly impacting our business. However, a natural disaster, fire, power shortage, pandemic, act of 
terrorism or other catastrophic event occurring in either geographic location that prevents or substantially impairs our employees’ 
ability to work, either in the office or from home, could make it difficult or impossible for us to deliver our products and services to 
customers. 

16 

 
Regulatory Matters, Data Privacy, Information Security, and Product Functionality 

Cyber-attacks involving our systems and data could expose us to liability or harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect 
on our business. 

We have implemented security measures and controls intended to protect our IT infrastructure, data centers and other systems and data 
against cyber-attacks. Despite our implementation of security measures and controls, our systems and those of third parties upon 
whom we rely are vulnerable to attack from numerous threat actors, including sophisticated nation-state and nation-state-supported 
actors. Threat actors have and may in the future be able to compromise our security measures or otherwise exploit vulnerabilities in 
our systems, including vulnerabilities that may have been introduced through the actions of our employees or contractors or defects in 
the design or manufacture of our products and systems or the products and systems that we procure from third parties. Our systems, 
and those of our third-party providers, have and could in the future become subject to cyber-attacks, including using computer viruses, 
credential harvesting, dedicated denial of services attacks, malware, social engineering, and other means for obtaining unauthorized 
access to, or disrupting the operation of, our systems and those of our third-party providers.  

The number and scale of cyberattacks have continued to increase and the methods and techniques used by threat actors, including 
sophisticated “supply-chain” attacks, continue to evolve at a rapid pace. As a result, we may be unable to identify current attacks, 
anticipate future attacks or implement adequate security measures. We may also experience security breaches that may remain 
undetected for an extended period and, therefore, have a greater impact on our systems, our products, the proprietary data contained 
therein, our customers and ultimately, our business. 

These events, and any related operational disruptions, unauthorized access, or misappropriation of information (including personally 
identifiable information or personal data), could create costly litigation, significant financial liability, and a loss of confidence in our 
ability to serve customers and cause current or potential customers to choose another provider, all of which could have a material 
adverse effect on our business, financial condition, reputation, and results of operations. 

We are subject to laws and regulations governing the protection of personally identifiable information. A failure to comply with 
applicable privacy or data protection laws could harm our reputation and have a material adverse effect on our business. 

We collect, process, transmit, and/or store (on our systems and those of third-party providers) customer transactional data, as well as 
their and our customers’ and employees’ personally identifiable information and/or other data and information. Personally identifiable 
information is increasingly subject to legislation and regulations in numerous jurisdictions with regard to privacy and data security 
such as such as the California Consumer Privacy Act and the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation. Moreover, what 
constitutes personally identifiable information and what other data and/or information is subject to the privacy laws varies by 
jurisdiction and continues to evolve, and the laws that do reference data privacy continue to be interpreted by the courts and their 
applicability and reach are therefore uncertain. Our failure and/or the failure of our customers, vendors, and service providers to 
comply with applicable privacy and data protection laws and regulations could damage our reputation, discourage current and/or 
potential customers from using our products and services, and result in fines, governmental investigations and/or enforcement actions, 
complaints by private individuals, and/or the payment of penalties to consumers. 

Actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our software products may result in reduced sales or liabilities. 

Our software may be used in connection with processing personal data and other sensitive data (e.g., credit card numbers). It may be 
possible for the data to be compromised if our customer does not maintain appropriate security procedures. In those instances, the 
customer may attempt to seek damages from us. While we believe that all of our current software complies with applicable industry 
security requirements and that we take appropriate measures to reduce the possibility of breach through our development and 
implementation processes, we cannot assure that our customers’ systems will not be breached, or that all unauthorized access to our 
software can be prevented. If a customer, or any other person, seeks redress from us as a result of a security breach of our software, 
our business could be adversely affected. 

We may not be able to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights. 

We rely on a combination of copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret laws and restrictions on disclosure to protect our intellectual 
property rights. We cannot be certain that the steps we have taken will prevent unauthorized use of our technology. Any failure to 
protect our intellectual property rights would diminish or eliminate the competitive advantages that we derive from our proprietary 
technology. 

17 

 
We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights. 

Third parties may assert claims that our software or technology infringe, misappropriate, or otherwise violate their intellectual 
property or other proprietary rights. Such claims may be made by our competitors seeking to obtain a competitive advantage or by 
other parties. The risk of claims may increase as the number of software products that we offer and competitors in our market increase 
and overlaps occur. Any such claims, regardless of merit, that result in litigation could result in substantial expenses, divert the 
attention of management, cause significant delays in introducing new or enhanced services or technology, materially disrupt the 
conduct of our business, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.  

While we do not believe that our products and services infringe any patents or other intellectual property rights, from time to time, we 
receive claims that we have infringed the intellectual property rights of others. For example, on April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a 
complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, alleging that certain of our products infringe 
patents owned by Ameranth directed to configuring and transmitting hospitality menus (e.g., restaurant menus) for display on 
electronic devices, and synchronizing the menu content between the devices. Although on May 11, 2022, judgement was entered for 
us and against Ameranth on all claims in that suit, Ameranth has pending appeals that may affect the judgement. 

If we fail to meet our customers’ performance expectations, our reputation may be harmed, and we may be exposed to legal 
liability. 

Our ability to attract and retain customers depends to a large extent on our relationships with our customers and our reputation for high 
quality services and solutions. As a result, if a customer is not satisfied with our products and services, our reputation may be 
damaged. Moreover, if we fail to meet our customers’ performance expectations or if customers experience service disruptions, 
breaches or other quality issues, we may lose customers and be subject to legal liability, particularly if such failure, service disruptions 
or breaches adversely impact our customers’ businesses. 

In addition, many of our projects are critical to the operations of our customers’ businesses. While our contracts typically include 
provisions designed to limit our exposure to legal claims relating to our products and services, these provisions may not adequately 
protect us or may not be enforceable in all cases. The general liability insurance coverage that we maintain, including coverage for 
errors and omissions, is subject to important exclusions and limitations. We cannot be certain that this coverage will continue to be 
available on reasonable terms or will be available in sufficient amounts to cover one or more large claims, or that the insurer will not 
disclaim coverage as to any future claim. A successful assertion of one or more large claims against us that exceeds our available 
insurance coverage or changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or the imposition of large deductible or co-
insurance requirements, could adversely affect our profitability. 

Risks Relating to the Industries We Serve 

Our business depends to a significant degree on the hospitality industry and instability and downturns in the hospitality industry 
could adversely affect our business and results of operations. 

Because our customer base is concentrated in the hospitality industry, our business and sales are largely dependent on the health of 
that industry, which in turn is dependent on the domestic and international economy. Instabilities or downturns in the hospitality 
industry, such as those resulting from the impact of COVID-19, as discussed above, could disproportionately impact our revenue, as 
customers may exit the industry or delay, cancel or reduce planned expenditures for our products. For additional information regarding 
the potential impact of COVID-19 on our business, see “COVID-19 has adversely impacted our business and may further impact our 
business, financial results and liquidity for an unknown period of time” above for additional information. 

Consolidation in the gaming and other hospitality industries could adversely affect our business. 

Customers that we serve may seek to achieve economies of scale and other synergies by combining with or acquiring other 
companies. The hospitality industry has experienced recent consolidations, including the hotel and gaming sectors of the industry. 
Although recent consolidations in the hospitality industry have not materially adversely affected our business, there is no assurance 
that future consolidations will not have such affect. For example, if one of our current customers merges or consolidates with a 
company that relies on another provider’s products or services, it could decide to reduce or cease its purchases of products or services 
from us, which could have an adverse effect on our business. 

Insolvencies in the hospitality industry could adversely affect our business. 

Customers that we serve may be or become insolvent. Most of our customers have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 
pandemic. Loss of revenue and other operating challenges may cause some of our customers to declare bankruptcy or cause their 

18 

 
lenders to declare a default, accelerate the related debt, or foreclose on their property. Customers in bankruptcy may not have 
sufficient assets to pay us unpaid fees or reimbursements we are owed under their agreements with us. If a significant number of 
customers file for bankruptcy or otherwise fail to pay amounts owed to us, our revenues and liquidity could be adversely affected.  

Risks Relating to Our Finances and Capital Structure 

If we acquire new businesses, we may not be able to successfully integrate them or attain the anticipated benefits. 

As part of our operating history and growth strategy, we have acquired other businesses. In the future, we may continue to seek 
acquisitions. We can provide no assurance that we will be able to identify and acquire targeted businesses or obtain financing for such 
acquisitions on satisfactory terms. The process of integrating acquired businesses into our operations may result in unforeseen 
difficulties and may require a disproportionate amount of resources and management attention. If integration of our acquired 
businesses is not successful, we may not realize the potential benefits of an acquisition or suffer other adverse effects. 

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities. 

Some of our products and services may be subject to sales taxes in states where we have not collected and remitted such taxes from 
our customers. We have reserves for certain state sales tax contingencies based on the likelihood of obligation. These contingencies 
are included in “Other non-current liabilities” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. We believe we have appropriately accrued for these 
contingencies. In the event that actual results differ from these reserves, we may need to make adjustments, which could materially 
impact our financial condition and results of operations. 

We may incur goodwill and intangible asset impairment charges that adversely affect our operating results. 

As of March 31, 2022, we had $32.8 million and $20.2 million of goodwill and intangible assets, net, respectively, on our 
Consolidated Balance Sheets. We review our goodwill and intangible assets for impairment on at least an annual basis. As of March 
31, 2020, we determined the net realizable value of intangible assets consisting of capitalized software development costs for certain 
solutions within our rGuest suite of products no longer exceeded their carrying value, and as a result, recorded non-cash impairment 
charges of $22.0 million. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the hospitality industry resulted in significantly lower sales and 
cash flow projections for the related rGuest solutions after evaluating the Company’s strategy for market development and continued 
costs to support the software. As a result, we recorded impairment charges to reduce the net realizable value of the related assets to 
zero. Our future operating results and the market price of our common stock could be materially adversely affected if we are required 
to write down the carrying value of goodwill or other intangible assets in the future. 

We have incurred losses in recent years, and we may continue to incur losses in the future. 

We have incurred operating losses in recent years, and we may continue to incur losses in the future as we continue to invest in our 
products. Our lack of consistent profitability limits the resources available to us to invest in developing new products, product 
upgrades and services and otherwise in improving business operations. 

Our stock has been volatile and we expect that it will continue to be volatile. 

Our stock price has been volatile, and we expect it will continue to be volatile. For example, during the year ended March 31, 2022, 
the trading price of our common stock ranged from a high close of $58.45 to a low close of $35.31. The market price for our common 
stock could be subject to wide fluctuations in response to many risk factors listed in this section, and others beyond our control. 
Factors affecting the trading price of our common stock may include: 

• 
• 
• 

• 

• 
• 

uncertainties the COVID-19 pandemic has caused for the global economy; 
economic news or other events generally causing volatility in the trading markets; 
our operating results failing to meet the expectation of securities analysts or investors in a particular period or failure of 
securities analysts to publish reports about us or our business; 
announcements by us or our competitors of acquisitions, new offerings or improvements, significant contracts, commercial 
relationships or capital commitments; 
our ability to market new and enhanced solutions on a timely basis; and 
any major change in our board or management; general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, 
fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism. 

19 

 
On May 22, 2020, we sold $35 million of preferred stock with a 5.25% cumulative dividend and convertible into common stock at a 
conversion price of $20.1676 per share. Dilution upon the conversion of the preferred stock in the future may negatively impact the 
price of our common stock. 

Additionally, our ownership base has been and may continue to be concentrated in a few shareholders, which could increase the 
volatility of our common share price over time. 

We may encounter risks associated with maintaining large cash balances. 

While we have attempted to invest our cash balances in investments we considered to be relatively safe, we nevertheless confront 
credit and liquidity risks. Bank failures could result in reduced liquidity or the actual loss of money held in deposit accounts in excess 
of federally insured amounts, if any. 

We are subject to litigation, which may be costly. 

Other Risk Factors 

As a company that does business with many customers, employees and suppliers, we are subject to litigation. The results of such 
litigation are difficult to predict, and we may incur significant legal expenses if any such claim were filed. While we generally take 
steps to reduce the likelihood that disputes will result in litigation, litigation is very commonplace and could have an adverse impact 
on our business. 

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to detect fraud, which could have a material 
adverse impact on our business. 

While we believe our internal control over financial reporting is effective, a controls system cannot provide absolute assurance that the 
objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that control issues and 
instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. 

Item 1B.  Unresolved Staff Comments. 

None. 

Item 2.  Properties. 

Our corporate headquarters are located in Alpharetta, Georgia where we lease approximately 33,000 square feet of office space. In 
addition, we lease approximately 33,000 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada, 30,000 square feet of office space in 
Bellevue, Washington, of which we sublease 22,000 square feet to a third party, 5,000 square feet of office space in Santa Barbara, 
California, and 6,000 square feet of warehouse space in Roswell, Georgia. Internationally, we lease approximately 101,000 square feet 
of office space in Chennai, India, 7,000 square feet in Toronto, Canada, and lease several other smaller office locations throughout 
Europe and Asia. Our major leases contain renewal options for periods of up to 10 years. We believe that our current facilities and 
office space are sufficient to meet our needs and do not anticipate any difficulty securing additional space as needed. 

Item 3.  Legal Proceedings. 

We are involved in legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the resolution of 
any current pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. 

On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California alleging 
that certain of our products infringe patents owned by Ameranth directed to configuring and transmitting hospitality menus (e.g., 
restaurant menus) for display on electronic devices, and synchronizing the menu content between devices. The case against us was 
consolidated with similar cases brought by Ameranth against more than 30 other defendants. All but one of the patents at issue in the 
case were invalidated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in 2016. In September 2018, the District Court found the 
one surviving Ameranth patent invalid and granted summary judgment in favor of the movant co-defendants. This judgment was 
affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in November 2019 with respect to all claims except for two, which were 
not asserted against Agilysys, and Ameranth’s writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was denied in October 2020. In 
December 2021, the District Court denied Ameranth’s motion to assert additional claims against the defendants. In March 2022, the 
District Court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants still facing the remaining claims. Subsequently, Ameranth 

20 

 
appealed the grant of summary judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Although on May 11, 2022, 
judgement was entered for us and against Ameranth on all claims in that suit, Ameranth has pending appeals that may affect the 
judgement. 

At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of Ameranth’s pending appeal on their claims against us, or any possible monetary 
exposure associated with the lawsuit. However, we dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and are vigorously defending ourselves in 
this matter.

Market Information 

Our common shares, without par value, are traded on the NASDAQ Stock Market LLC under the symbol “AGYS”. As of May 13, 
2022, there were 1,343 registered holders of our common shares, without par value.  

Dividends 

We did not pay dividends in fiscal 2022 or 2021 on our common stock and are unlikely to do so in the foreseeable future. We pay 
preferred stock dividends as described in Note 14, Preferred Stock, to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this 
Annual Report. The current practice of the Board of Directors is to retain any available earnings for use in the operations and growth 
of our business, both organically and through acquisitions.

Item 7. Managements’ Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. 

In “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”), management explains the 
general financial condition and results of operations for Agilysys and subsidiaries including: 

—    what factors affect our business; 
—    what our earnings and costs were; 
—    why those earnings and costs were different from the year before; 
—    where the earnings came from; 
—    how our financial condition was affected; and 
—    where the cash will come from to fund future operations. 

The MD&A analyzes changes in specific line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Statements of 
Cash Flows and provides information that management believes is important to assessing and understanding our consolidated 
financial condition and results of operations. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial 
Statements and related Notes that appear in Item 8 of this Annual Report titled, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.” 
Information provided in the MD&A may include forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors could 
cause actual results to be materially different from those contained in the forward-looking statements. See “Forward-Looking 
Information” on page 3 of this Annual Report and Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of this Annual Report for additional information 
concerning these items. Management believes that this information, discussion, and disclosure is important in making decisions about 
investing in Agilysys. 

Overview 

Recent Developments 

COVID-19 Pandemic 

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our 
business during the year ended March 31, 2022. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue impacting our financial condition and 
results of operations remains uncertain and depends on various factors, including the ongoing or recurring impact on our customers, 
partners, and suppliers and on the operation of the global markets in general. Because an increasing portion of our business is based on 
a subscription model, the effect of COVID-19 on our results of operations may also not be fully reflected for some time.  

While we have previously taken certain cost reduction measures, we may take further actions that alter our business operations in 
response to changes in the global environment. As a result, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of the 
operational alterations we have made in response on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and financial results cannot be 
predicted at this time.  

Our Business 

Agilysys has been a leader in hospitality software for more than 40 years, delivering innovative cloud-native SaaS and on-premise 
guest-centric technology solutions for gaming, hotels, resorts and cruise, corporate foodservice management, restaurants, universities, 
stadiums and healthcare. Agilysys offers the most comprehensive software solutions in the industry, including point-of-sale (POS), 
property management (PMS), inventory and procurement, payments, and related applications, to manage the entire guest journey. 
Agilysys is also known for its world class customer-centric service. During recent years, Agilysys has made major investments in 
R&D and has successfully modernized virtually all its longstanding trusted software solutions. Some of the largest hospitality 
companies around the world use Agilysys solutions to help improve guest loyalty, drive revenue growth and increase operational 
efficiencies. 

The Company has just one reportable segment serving the global hospitality industry. Agilysys operates across North America, 
Europe, Asia-Pacific, and India with headquarters located in Alpharetta, Georgia.  

Our top priority is increasing shareholder value by improving operating and financial performance and profitably growing the business 
through superior products and services. To that end, we expect to invest a certain portion of our cash on hand to fund enhancements to 
existing software products, to develop and market new software products, and to expand our customer breadth, both vertically and 
geographically. 

Our strategic plan specifically focuses on: 

24 

 
Putting the customer first 
Focusing on product innovation and development 
Improving our liquidity 
Increasing organizational efficiency and teamwork 

• 
• 
• 
• 
•  Developing our employees and leaders 
•  Growing revenue by improving the breadth and depth of our product set across both point-of-sale and property management 

applications 

•  Growing revenue through international expansion 

The primary objective of our ongoing strategic planning process is to create shareholder value by capitalizing on growth opportunities, 
increasing profitability and strengthening our competitive position within the specific technology solutions and end markets we serve. 
Profitability and industry leading growth will be achieved through tighter management of operating expenses and sharpening the focus 
of our investments to concentrate on growth opportunities that offer the highest returns. 

Revenue – Defined 

As required by the SEC, we separately present revenue earned as products revenue, support, maintenance and subscription services 
revenue or professional services revenue in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. In addition to the SEC requirements, we may, 
at times, also refer to revenue as defined below. The terminology, definitions, and applications of terms we use to describe our 
revenue may be different from those used by other companies and caution should be used when comparing these financial measures to 
those of other companies. We use the following terms to describe revenue: 

•  Revenue – We present revenue net of sales returns and allowances. 
• 
• 

Products revenue – Revenue earned from the sales of software licenses, third party hardware and operating systems. 
Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue – Revenue earned from the sale of proprietary and remarketed 
ongoing support, maintenance and subscription services. 
Professional services revenue – Revenue earned from the delivery of implementation, integration and installation services for 
proprietary and remarketed products.

Net revenue. Total revenue increased $25.5 million, or 18.6%, in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. Products revenue increased $9.2 
million, or 34.6%, due to higher sales and deliveries as our customers re-open their locations for business. Support, maintenance and 
subscription services revenue increased $10.4 million, or 11.7%, driven by continued growth in subscription-based revenue, which 
increased 28.0% in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. Professional services revenue increased $5.8 million, or 26.6%, due to higher 
sales and service activity as our customers shift their focus to implementing technology to improve their operations. 

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit increased $12.2 million, or 13.6%, in fiscal 2022 and total gross profit 
margin decreased from 65.2% to 62.4%. Products gross profit increased $3.5 million and gross profit margin decreased from 49.4% to 
46.5% due to a higher proportion of third-party products over proprietary software revenue. Support, maintenance and subscription 
services gross profit increased $7.2 million and gross profit margin decreased from 79.7% to 78.6% as certain variable costs increased 
ahead of related revenue. Professional services gross profit increased $1.4 million and gross profit margin decreased slightly from 
25.5% to 25.3% due to continued hiring and training of new staff to meet increasing project backlogs from ongoing sales activity and 
certain project delays. 

Operating expenses 

Operating expenses, excluding the charges for legal settlements, severance and other charges, decreased $14.9 million, or 13.9%, in 
fiscal 2022 compared with fiscal 2021. As a percent of total revenue, operating expenses have decreased 21.5% in fiscal 2022 
compared with fiscal 2021. 

Product development. Product development includes all expenses associated with research and development. Product development 
decreased $9.0 million, or 16.3%, during fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021 due to an increase of $4.4 million in payroll and other 
operating expenses as we continue to manage market compensation pressures offset by a decrease in share-based compensation 
expense of $13.4 million due to significant charges resulting from accelerated vesting of stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs)

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing increased $0.5 million, or 3.8%, in fiscal 2022 compared with fiscal 2021 due to an increase 
of $3.4 million in payroll, travel, advertising, promotion and other operating expenses as we invest in our sales and marketing teams 
and return to travel for in-person selling and increased marketing event and trade show activity offset by a decrease in share-based 
compensation expense of $2.9 million due to significant charges resulting from the accelerated vesting of SSARs upon their market 
condition satisfaction in February 2021. 

General and administrative. General and administrative decreased $5.5 million, or 16.6%, in fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 due 
to an increase of $3.7 million in payroll and other expenses after restoring base pay, employee benefits and various operational 
activities offset by a decrease in share-based compensation expense of $9.2 million due to significant charges resulting from the 
accelerated vesting of SSARs upon their market condition satisfaction in February 2021. 

Depreciation of fixed assets. Depreciation of fixed assets decreased $0.6 million or 22.0% in fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021 
due to an increased level of assets with shorter useful lives. 

Amortization of internal-use software and intangibles. Amortization of internal-use software and intangibles decreased $0.3 million or 
15.6% in fiscal 2022 as compared to fiscal 2021 due to a lower unamortized cost base following the impairment of intangibles in fiscal 
2020. 

Severance and other charges. Severance and other charges decreased $0.9 million due to a significant reduction in employee 
terminations during fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021. 

Legal settlements. Legal settlements increased $0.8 million during fiscal 2022 compared to fiscal 2021 due to an increase in 
settlements of employment and other business-related matters.

For fiscal 2022, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to adjustments to deferred tax assets including 
increases in valuation allowances that reduce deferred tax assets and to the recording of net operating losses in a number of foreign 
jurisdictions offset by current year expense in other foreign jurisdictions.

Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months an 
immaterial reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. We are 
consistently subject to tax audits; due to the nature of examinations in multiple jurisdictions, changes could occur in the amount of 
gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months which cannot be estimated at this time. 

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those 
temporary differences are deductible. Because of our losses in prior periods, management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that 
we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences and have recorded a valuation allowance substantially offsetting our 
deferred tax assets. At March 31, 2022, we had $196.3 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in 
fiscal years 2031 to 2038, and $42.8 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward indefinitely. We 
also had $166.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2023 through 2041.

Net revenue. Total revenue decreased $23.6 million, or 14.7%, in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. Products revenue decreased 
$17.5 million, or 39.6%, due to delayed customer purchasing decisions as the timing of the hospitality recovery from the COVID-19 
pandemic remained unclear during fiscal 2021. Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue increased $4.9 million, or 
5.8%, driven by continued growth in subscription-based revenue, which increased 15.5% in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. 
Subscription revenue sales were led by our add on software modules, including modules enabling social distancing and contactless 
capabilities. Professional services revenue decreased $11.0 million, or 33.3%, due to delays in implementation services due to 
customer property restrictions, property closures and lower sales from delayed customer purchasing decisions as the timing of the 
hospitality recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic remained unclear.  

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit increased $8.4 million, or 10.4%, in fiscal 2021 and total gross profit 
margin increased from 50.4% to 65.2%. Products gross profit increased $5.4 million and gross profit margin increased from 17.6% to 
49.4% driven mostly by the absence of software development cost amortization during fiscal 2021. Support, maintenance and 
subscription services gross profit increased $6.1 million and gross profit margin increased 269 basis points to 79.7% due to increased 
subscription revenue on a relatively flat cost base. Professional services gross profit decreased $3.1 million and gross profit margin 
decreased slightly from 26.5% to 25.5% due to the delay in professional service projects and the fixed costs of maintaining a 
minimum required professional services team as customers continued to work towards re-opening their locations and accept 
implementations and installations.  

Operating expenses 

Operating expenses, excluding the charges for legal settlements, impairments, severance and other charges, increased $16.8 million, or 
18.5%, in fiscal 2021 compared with fiscal 2020. As a percent of total revenue, operating expenses have increased 22.0% in fiscal 
2021 compared with fiscal 2020. 

Product development. Product development includes all expenses associated with research and development. Product development 
increased $13.9 million, or 33.5%, during fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020 due to the continued expansion of our R&D teams 
and significant share-based compensation charges resulting from the accelerated vesting of stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs) 
upon their market condition satisfaction in February 2021.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing decreased $5.7 million, or 28.5%, in fiscal 2021 compared with fiscal 2020 due to reduced 
commission expense as a result of lower sales levels, significantly reduced travel, layoffs, temporary reductions in employee benefits, 
and the absence of in-person trade shows and conference activity. The decrease was slightly offset by an increase in stock-based 
compensation charges resulting from the accelerated vesting of SSARs.  

General and administrative. General and administrative increased $9.0 million, or 37.0%, in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. The 
change is due primarily to significant share-based compensation charges resulting from the accelerated vesting of SSARs. 

Depreciation of fixed assets. Depreciation of fixed assets increased $0.3 million or 10.0% in fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020 
due to an increased level of assets with shorter useful lives. 

Amortization of internal-use software and intangibles. Amortization of internal-use software and intangibles decreased $0.6 million or 
22.9% in fiscal 2021 as compared to fiscal 2020 due to a lower unamortized cost base following the impairment of intangibles in fiscal 
2020. 

Impairments. There were no impairments in fiscal 2021. Impairments totaled $23.7 million in fiscal 2020. The impairments resulted 
from specific capitalized software development costs supporting certain software applications. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic 
on the hospitality industry resulted in economic conditions that made it difficult to project future sales and revenue accurately for the 
impacted solutions at the time of impairment determination. After evaluating the Company’s strategy for market development and 
continued costs to support the software, an impairment charge was required. We recorded impairment charges to reduce the net 
realizable value of the related assets to zero during the 2020 fiscal year.  

Severance and other charges. Severance and other charges increased $1.9 million due to an increase in non-restructuring severance 
activity during fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020. 

Legal settlements. Legal settlements consist of settlements of employment and other business-related matters.

For fiscal 2021, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to adjustments to deferred tax assets including 
increases in valuation allowances that reduce deferred tax assets and to the recording of net operating losses in a number of foreign 
jurisdictions offset by current year expense in other foreign jurisdictions. 

Because of our losses in prior periods, we have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets. 
The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those 
temporary differences are deductible. Because of our losses in prior periods, management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that 
we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. At March 31, 2021, we had $199.1 million of federal net operating loss 
carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2031 to 2038, and $46.8 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that 
can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had $165.6 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in 
fiscal years 2022 through 2041. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

Overview 

Our cash requirements consist primarily of working capital needs, capital expenditures, payments of preferred stock dividends, and 
operating expenses including payments of lease obligations. Our contractual obligations consist primarily of operating leases for office 
space and preferred stock dividends. We disclose our lease obligations in Note 6, Leases, and preferred stock dividends in Note 14, 
Preferred Stock, to our Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this Annual Report.  

At March 31, 2022, all $97.0 million of our cash on hand was deposited in bank accounts, of which 93% are located in the United 
States. We believe there is limited credit risk with respect to our cash balances. 

We believe that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand of $97.0 million as of March 31, 2022, and access to capital markets 
will provide adequate funds to meet our short-and long-term liquidity requirements.

Cash flow provided by operating activities. Cash flows provided by operating activities were $28.5 million in fiscal 2022. The 
provision of cash was due primarily to our net income of $6.5 million adjusted for $17.7 million in non-cash expense including 
depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation and an increase of $4.3 million from the changes in operating assets and 
liabilities. 

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $28.4 million in fiscal 2021. The provision of cash was due primarily to our 
operating loss of $21.0 million adjusted for $44.0 million in non-cash expense including depreciation, amortization, and share-based 
compensation and an increase of approximately $5.4 million from the changes in operating assets and liabilities. 

Cash flows provided by operating activities were $10.6 million in fiscal 2020. The provision of cash was due primarily to our 
operating loss of $34.1 million adjusted for $46.2 million in non-cash expense including impairment charges, depreciation, 
amortization, and share-based compensation and a decrease of approximately $1.5 million in net operating assets and liabilities. 

Cash flow used in investing activities. Cash flows used in investing activities in fiscal 2022 were $25.7 million due to $24.5 million in 
cash paid for business combinations, net of cash acquired, and $1.2 million in purchases of property and equipment, including internal 
use software. 

Cash flows used in investing activities in fiscal 2021 were $1.4 million due primarily to the purchase of property and equipment, 
including internal use software.

Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities. Cash flows used in financing activities in fiscal 2022 were $4.9 million and 
primarily comprised of share repurchases of $3.0 million to satisfy employee tax withholding on share-based compensation and $1.8 
million in preferred stock dividends. 

During fiscal 2021, the $25.3 million provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $34.0 million in preferred stock issuance 
proceeds from the MAK Capital investment, net of issuance costs, offset by $7.5 million for the repurchase of shares to satisfy 
employee tax withholding on share-based compensation and $1.1 million in preferred stock dividends. 

Cash flows used in financing activities in fiscal 2020 were $1.1 million and primarily comprised of share repurchases to satisfy 
employee tax withholding on share-based compensation. 

Investments 

Investments in Corporate-Owned Life Insurance Policies 

Agilysys invests in corporate-owned life insurance policies for certain former executives, for which some are endorsement split-dollar 
life insurance arrangements. We entered into agreements with each of the former executives, whereby we must maintain the life 
insurance policy for a specified amount and split a portion of the policy benefits with their designated beneficiary. Our investment in 
these corporate-owned life insurance policies were recorded at their cash surrender value, which approximates fair value at the balance 
sheet date. In the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the balance sheet date, the cash surrender value of $1.0 million for the remaining 
policies were held in “Other non-current assets,” and the present value of future proceeds owed to those executives’ designated 
beneficiary of $0.1 million, which approximates fair value, were recorded within “Other non-current liabilities” in the Consolidated 
Balance Sheets at the balance sheet date. 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements 

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements that have had or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect 
on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, 
or capital resources. 

Critical Accounting Policies 

Managements’ Discussion and Analysis is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in 
accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make 
significant estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses and related disclosure 
of contingent assets and liabilities. We regularly evaluate our estimates, including those related to bad debts, inventories, investments, 
intangible assets, income taxes, restructuring, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on 
various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making 
judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 

Our most significant accounting policies relate to the sale, purchase, and promotion of our products and services. The policies 
discussed below are considered by management to be critical to an understanding of our Consolidated Financial Statements because 
their application places the most significant demands on management’s judgment, with financial reporting results relying on 
estimation about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. Specific risks for these critical accounting policies are described in 
the following paragraphs. 

For all these policies, management cautions that future events rarely develop exactly as forecasted, and the best estimates routinely 
require adjustment. 

Revenue recognition. Our customary business practice is to enter into legally enforceable written contracts with our customers. The 
majority of our contracts are governed by a master service agreement between us and the customer, which sets forth the general terms 
and conditions of any individual contract between the parties, which is then supplemented by a customer order to specify the different 
goods and services, the associated prices, and any additional terms for an individual contract. Performance obligations specific to each 
individual contract are defined within the terms of each order. Each performance obligation is identified based on the goods and 
services that will be transferred to our customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the 
contract. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled and expect to receive in exchange 

33 

 
for transferring goods or services to the customer. Typically, our contracts do not provide our customer with any right of return or 
refund; we do not constrain the contract price as it is probable that there will not be a significant revenue reversal due to a return or 
refund. 

Typically our customer contracts contain one or more of the following goods or services which constitute performance obligations. 

Our software licenses typically provide for a perpetual right to use our software. Generally, our contracts do not provide significant 
services of integration and customization and installation services are not required to be purchased directly from us. The software is 
delivered before related services are provided and is functional without professional services, updates and technical support. We have 
concluded that the software license is distinct as the customer can benefit from the software on its own. Software revenue is typically 
recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download to the customer. 

Revenue for hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when obligations that affect the customer’s 
final acceptance of the arrangement have been fulfilled. Hardware is purchased from suppliers and provided to the end-user customers 
via drop-ship or from inventory. We are responsible for negotiating the price both with the supplier and the customer, payment to the 
supplier, establishing payment terms and product returns with the customer, and bearing the credit risk if the customer does not pay 
for the goods. As the principal contact with the customer, we recognize revenue and cost of goods sold when we are notified by the 
supplier that the product has been shipped. In certain limited instances, as shipping terms dictate, revenue is recognized upon receipt at 
the point of destination or upon installation at the customer site. 

Support and maintenance revenue is derived from providing telephone and on-line technical support services, bug fixes, and 
unspecified software updates and upgrades to customers on a when-and-if-available basis. These services represent a stand-ready 
obligation that is concurrently delivered and has the same pattern of transfer to the customer; we account for these support and 
maintenance services as a single performance obligation recognized over the term of the maintenance agreement.  

Our subscription service revenue is comprised of fees for contracts that provide customers a right to access our software for a 
subscribed period. We do not provide the customer the contractual right to license the software at any time outside of the subscription 
period under these contracts. The customer can only benefit from the software and software maintenance when provided the right to 
access the software. Accordingly, each of the rights to access the software, the maintenance services, and any hosting services is not 
considered a distinct performance obligation in the context of the contract and should be combined into a single performance 
obligation to be recognized over the contract period. The Company recognizes subscription revenue over a one-month period based on 
the typical monthly invoicing and renewal cycle in accordance with our customer agreement terms.  

Professional services revenues primarily consist of fees for consulting, installation, integration and training and are generally 
recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the professional services as the services 
are being performed. Professional services can be provided by internal or external providers, do not significantly affect the customer’s 
ability to access or use other provided goods or services, and provide a measure of benefit beyond that of other promised goods or 
services in the contract. As a result, professional services are considered distinct in the context of the contract and represent a separate 
performance obligation. Professional services that are billed on a time and materials basis are recognized over time as the services are 
performed. For contracts billed on a fixed price basis, revenue is recognized over time using an input method based on labor hours 
expended to date relative to the total labor hours expected to be required to satisfy the related performance obligation. 

We use the market approach to drive standalone selling price (“SSP”) by maximizing observable data points (in the form of recently 
executed customer contracts) to determine the price customers are willing to pay for the goods and services transferred. If the contract 
contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. Contracts that contain 
multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative SSP 
basis.  

Share-based compensation. We have an equity incentive plan under which we may grant non-qualified stock options, incentive stock 
options, stock-settled stock appreciation rights, time-vested restricted shares, restricted share units, performance-vested restricted 
shares, and performance shares. Shares issued pursuant to awards under this plan may be made out of treasury or authorized but 
unissued shares. 

We record compensation expense related to stock-settled stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, and performance shares granted 
to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted 
share grants subject only to a service condition is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. For stock option 
and stock-settled appreciation right (SSAR) grants subject only to a service condition, we estimate the fair value on the grant date 
using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with inputs including the closing market price at grant date, exercise price and 
assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility of our common shares based on historical volatility, and expected 

34 

 
term as estimated using the simplified method. For restricted share and SSAR grants subject to a market condition, we estimate the 
fair value on the grant date through a lattice option pricing model that utilizes a Monte Carlo analysis with inputs including the closing 
market price at grant date, share price threshold and assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate and expected volatility of our 
common shares based on historical volatility. Inputs for SSAR grants subject to a market condition also include exercise price, 
remaining contractual term, and suboptimal exercise factor. Forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur. Additional 
information regarding the assumptions used to value share-based compensation awards is provided in Note 13, Share-Based 
Compensation, to our Consolidated Financial Statements. 

Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

See Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to our Consolidated Financial Statements included under Item 8 of this 
Annual Report for additional information about recent accounting pronouncements recently adopted and those not yet effective. 

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk. 

We have assets, liabilities, and cash flows in foreign currencies creating foreign exchange risk. We sell products and services 
internationally and enter into transactions denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, we are subject to the variability that arises 
from exchange rate movements. For the fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020, revenue from international operations was 7%, 8% and 9%, 
respectively of total revenue. The effects of foreign currency on operating results did not have a material impact on our results of 
operations for the 2022, 2021 and 2020 fiscal years. Fluctuations in the value of other currencies could materially impact our revenue, 
expenses, operating profit and net income.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Agilysys, Inc. 

Opinion on the financial statements 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Agilysys, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the 
“Company”) as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), 
shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2022, and the related notes and financial 
statement schedule(s) included under Item 15(a) (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial 
statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, and the results 
of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended March 31, 2022, in conformity with accounting 
principles generally accepted in the United States of America. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission 
(“COSO”), and our report dated May 23, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion. 

Basis for opinion 

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the 
Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to 
be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and 
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. 
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to 
error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence 
regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used 
and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe 
that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

Critical audit matters 

The critical audit matters are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or 
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial 
statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. We determined that there are no critical 
audit matters.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm 

Board of Directors and Shareholders 
Agilysys, Inc. 

Opinion on internal control over financial reporting 

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Agilysys, Inc. (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries (the 
“Company”) as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the 
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all 
material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, based on criteria established in the 2013 
Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. 

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) 
(“PCAOB”), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended March 31, 2022, and our report dated 
May 23, 2022 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. 

Basis for opinion 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of 
the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control 
Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based 
on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the 
Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange 
Commission and the PCAOB. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit 
to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. 
Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness 
exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such 
other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our 
opinion. 

Our audit of, and opinion on, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not include the internal control over 
financial reporting of ResortSuite, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues 
constituting one percent and less than one percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for 
the year ended March 31, 2022. As indicated in Management’s Report, ResortSuite, Inc. was acquired during 2022. Management’s 
assertion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial 
reporting of ResortSuite, Inc.

Definition and limitations of internal control over financial reporting 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of 
financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the 
maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the 
company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in 
accordance with generally\ accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in 
accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect 
on the financial statements. 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections 
of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in 
conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Reference herein to any particular year or quarter refers to periods within the fiscal year ended March 31. For example, fiscal 2022 
refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022. 

COVID-19 Pandemic 

The World Health Organization declared novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) a pandemic on March 11, 2020. The pandemic has created 
significant economic challenges as organizations and governmental authorities around the world have implemented numerous 
measures attempting to contain the spread of COVID-19, including travel restrictions, border closings, shelter-in-place orders, and 
social distancing requirements. Our customers and vendors have closed or have otherwise applied restrictions at certain sites in 
response to the pandemic. Similarly, we have provided remote working arrangements for our employees, limited business travel, and 
canceled or shifted various events to virtual attendance. We have localized our pandemic response to the countries and specific 
locations in which we, our customers and our vendors operate.  

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

Principles of consolidation. The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Agilysys, Inc. and subsidiaries. Investments 
in affiliated companies are accounted for by the equity or cost method, as appropriate. All inter-company accounts have been 
eliminated. 

Use of estimates. Preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 
(“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of 
assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported 
periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates due to uncertainties, including the impact of COVID-19.  

Cash and cash equivalents. We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity from date of acquisition of 
three months or less to be cash equivalents. Other highly liquid investments considered cash equivalents with no established maturity 
date are fully redeemable on demand (without penalty) with settlement of principal and accrued interest on the following business day 
after instruction to redeem. Cash equivalent investments are readily convertible to cash with no penalty and can include certificates of 
deposit, commercial paper, treasury bills, money market funds and other investments. As of March 31, 2022, commercial paper cash 
equivalents totaled $15 million. We held no commercial paper as of March 31, 2021 or 2020. We determine the fair value of 
commercial paper using significant other observable inputs (level 2) based on pricing from independent sources that use quoted prices 
in active markets for identical assets or other observable inputs including benchmark yields and interest rates. 

Allowance for expected credit losses. We maintain allowances for expected credit losses for estimated losses resulting from the 
inability or unwillingness of our customers to make required payments. We base our expected credit loss model on historical 
experience, adjusted for current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. To help mitigate the associated credit risk we 
perform periodic credit evaluations of our customers. 

45 

 
 
 
Customer credit allowance. We maintain allowances for estimated customer credits. Credits are typically due to the timing or amount 
of customer invoices processed for specific services, including professional and subscription, and maintenance coverage. In many 
cases, there has not been clear or timely communication of the need to adjust coverage or service at a location in advance of when we 
invoice for the associated coverage or service. We will issue a credit after agreeing to the service or coverage adjustment as requested 
by the customer within the terms of our contract. 

Inventories. Our inventories are comprised of finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, net of 
related reserves. The cost of inventory is computed using a weighted-average method. Our inventory is monitored to ensure 
appropriate valuation. Adjustments of inventories to the lower of cost or net realizable value, if necessary, are based upon contractual 
provisions such as turnover and assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If assumptions about future demand change 
and/or actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional adjustments to inventory valuations 
may be required. We provide a reserve for obsolescence, which is calculated based on several factors, including an analysis of 
historical sales of products and the age of the inventory. Actual amounts could be different from those estimated. 

Leases. We determine if an arrangement is or contains a lease at inception. Operating leases are presented as Right-of-Use (“ROU”) 
assets and the corresponding lease liabilities are included in operating lease liabilities – current and operating lease liabilities – non-
current on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. Finance leases are included in property and equipment, net and corresponding liabilities 
are included in finance lease obligations – current and non-current on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. ROU assets represent our right 
to use the underlying asset, and lease liabilities represent our obligation for lease payments in exchange for the ability to use the asset 
for the duration of the lease term.  

ROU assets and lease liabilities are recognized at commencement date and determined using the present value of the remaining lease 
payments over the lease term. We use an incremental borrowing rate based on estimated rate of interest for collateralized borrowing 
since our leases do not include an implicit interest rate. The estimated incremental borrowing rate considers market data, actual lease 
economic environment, and actual lease term at commencement date. The lease term may include options to extend when it is 
reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. ROU assets include lease payments made in advance, and excludes any incentives 
received or initial direct costs incurred. We recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term and sublease income 
on a straight-line basis over the sublease term.  

We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components which we account for as a single lease component. We also have 
leases which include variable lease payments, which are expensed as incurred. Our variable lease payments are not based on an index 
or rate and therefore are excluded from the calculation of lease liabilities. We have elected to not recognize short term leases that have 
a term of twelve months or less as ROU assets or lease liabilities. Our short-term leases are not material and do not have a material 
impact on our ROU assets or lease liabilities. Additionally, we do not have any covenants, residual value guarantees, or related party 
transactions associated with our lease agreements. 

Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price paid over the fair value of the net 
assets of acquired companies. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the carrying amount of goodwill was $32.8 million and $19.6 million, 
respectively. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis, or in interim periods if indicators of potential impairment exist, 
based on our one reporting unit. The Company evaluates whether goodwill is impaired by comparing its market capitalization based 
on its closing stock price (Level 1 input) to the book value of its equity on the annual evaluation date. Based on testing performed, the 
Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill has occurred for the years ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. 

The Company is also required to compare the fair values of other indefinite-lived intangible assets to their carrying amounts at least 
annually, or when current events and circumstances require an interim assessment. If the carrying amount of an indefinite-lived 
intangible asset exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized. 

Acquired intangible assets. Acquired intangible assets include identifiable customer relationships, non-competition agreements, 
developed technology, and trade names. We amortize the cost of finite-lived identifiable intangible assets over their estimated useful 
lives, which are periods of 15 years or less, primarily on a straight-line basis, which we believe approximates the pattern in which the 
assets are utilized. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired in business combinations are determined 
primarily by using the income approach, which discounts expected future cash flows attributable to these assets to present value using 
estimates and assumptions determined by management.  

Long-lived assets. Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Minor 
replacements, maintenance, repairs, and reengineering costs are expensed as incurred. When assets are sold or otherwise disposed of, 
the cost and related accumulated depreciation are eliminated from the accounts and any resulting gain or loss is recognized. 

Depreciation and amortization are provided in amounts sufficient to amortize the cost of the assets, including assets recorded under 
finance leases, which make up less than one percent of total assets, over their estimated useful lives using the straight-line method. 

46 

 
The estimated useful lives for depreciation and amortization are as follows: buildings and building improvements – 7 to 30 years; 
furniture – 7 to 10 years; equipment – 3 to 10 years; software – 3 to 10 years; and leasehold improvements over the shorter of the 
economic life or the lease term. Internal use software costs are expensed or capitalized depending on the project stage. Amounts 
capitalized are amortized over the estimated useful lives of the software, ranging from 3 to 10 years, beginning with the project’s 
completion. Depreciation for capitalized project expenditures does not begin until the underlying project is completed. 

We evaluate the recoverability of our long-lived assets whenever changes in circumstances or events may indicate that the carrying 
amounts may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized in the event the carrying value of the assets exceeds the future 
undiscounted cash flows attributable to such assets. Our long-lived assets and impairments considerations are discussed further in 
Note 4, Property and Equipment, Net. 

Foreign currency translation. The financial statements of our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars for financial reporting 
purposes. The assets and liabilities of foreign operations whose functional currencies are not in U.S. dollars are translated at the 
period-end exchange rates, while revenue and expenses are translated at weighted-average exchange rates during the fiscal year. The 
cumulative translation effects are reflected as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” within shareholders’ 
equity in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Gains and losses on monetary transactions denominated in other than the functional 
currency of an operation are reflected within “Other (income) expenses, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Foreign 
currency gains and losses from changes in exchange rates have not been material to our consolidated operating results. 

Revenue recognition. We derive revenue from the sale of products (i.e., software, third party hardware and operating systems), 
support, maintenance and subscription services and professional services. For the fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020, revenue from 
international operations was 7%, 8% and 9%, respectively of total revenue. Our customer base is highly fragmented. 

Our customary business practice is to enter into legally enforceable written contracts with our customers. The majority of our contracts 
are governed by a master service agreement between us and the customer, which sets forth the general terms and conditions of any 
individual contract between the parties, which is then supplemented by a customer order to specify the different goods and services, 
the associated prices, and any additional terms for an individual contract. Performance obligations specific to each individual contract 
are defined within the terms of each order. Each performance obligation is identified based on the goods and services that will be 
transferred to our customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. The transaction 
price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled and expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or 
services to the customer. Typically, our contracts do not provide our customer with any right of return or refund; we do not constrain 
the contract price as it is probable that there will not be a significant revenue reversal due to a return or refund. 

Typically, our customer contracts contain one or more of the following goods or services which constitute performance obligations. 

Our software licenses typically provide for a perpetual right to use our software. Generally, our contracts do not provide significant 
services of integration and customization and installation services are not required to be purchased directly from us. The software is 
delivered before related services are provided and is functional without professional services, updates and technical support. We have 
concluded that the software license is distinct as the customer can benefit from the software on its own. Software revenue is typically 
recognized when the software is delivered or made available for download to the customer. 

Revenue for hardware sales is recognized when the product is shipped to the customer and when obligations that affect the customer’s 
final acceptance of the arrangement have been fulfilled. Hardware is purchased from suppliers and provided to the end-user customers 
via drop-ship or from inventory. We are responsible for negotiating price both with the supplier and the customer, payment to the 
supplier, establishing payment terms and product returns with the customer, and we bear the credit risk if the customer does not pay 
for the goods. As the principal contact with the customer, we recognize revenue and cost of goods sold when we ship or are notified 
by the supplier that the product has been shipped. In certain limited instances, as shipping terms dictate, revenue is recognized upon 
receipt at the point of destination or upon installation at the customer site. 

Support and maintenance revenue is derived from providing telephone and on-line technical support services, bug fixes, and 
unspecified software updates and upgrades to customers on a when-and-if-available basis. These services represent a stand-ready 
obligation that is concurrently delivered and has the same pattern of transfer to the customer; we account for these support and 
maintenance services as a single performance obligation recognized over the term of the maintenance agreement. 

Our subscription service revenue is comprised of fees for contracts that provide customers a right to access our software for a 
subscribed period. We do not provide the customer the contractual right to license the software at any time outside of the subscription 
period under these contracts. The customer can only benefit from the software and software maintenance when provided the right to 
access the software. Accordingly, each of the rights to access the software, the maintenance services, and any hosting services is not 
considered a distinct performance obligation in the context of the contract and should be combined into a single performance 

47 

 
obligation to be recognized over the contract period. The Company recognizes subscription revenue over a one-month period based on 
the typical monthly invoicing and renewal cycle in accordance with our customer agreement terms.  

Professional services revenues primarily consist of fees for consulting, installation, integration and training and are generally 
recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits of the professional services as the services 
are being performed. Professional services can be provided by internal or external providers, do not significantly affect the customer’s 
ability to access or use other provided goods or services, and provide a measure of benefit beyond that of other promised goods or 
services in the contract. As a result, professional services are considered distinct in the context of the contract and represent a separate 
performance obligation. Professional services that are billed on a time and materials basis are recognized over time as the services are 
performed. For contracts billed on a fixed price basis, revenue is recognized over time using an input method based on labor hours 
expended to date relative to the total labor hours expected to be required to satisfy the related performance obligation.  

We use the market approach to derive standalone selling price (“SSP”) by maximizing observable data points (in the form of recently 
executed customer contracts) to determine the price customers are willing to pay for the goods and services transferred. If the contract 
contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. Contracts that contain 
multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative SSP 
basis. 

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recognized in cost of goods sold. 
Revenue is recorded net of any applicable taxes collected and remitted to governmental agencies. 

Comprehensive income (loss). Comprehensive income (loss) is the total of net income (loss), as currently reported under GAAP, plus 
other comprehensive income (loss). Other comprehensive income (loss) considers the effects of additional transactions and economic 
events that are not required to be recorded in determining net income (loss), but rather are reported as a separate statement of 
comprehensive income (loss). 

Fair value measurements. We measure the fair value of financial assets and liabilities on a recurring or non-recurring basis. Financial 
assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value each time a financial statement is prepared. 
Financial assets and liabilities measured on a non-recurring basis are those that are adjusted to fair value when a significant event 
occurs. In determining fair value of financial assets and liabilities, we use various valuation techniques. 

Investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies. Agilysys invests in corporate-owned life insurance policies, for which some 
are endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. We entered into agreements with certain former executives, whereby we 
must maintain the life insurance policy for a specified amount and split a portion of the policy benefits with their respective designated 
beneficiary. Our investment in these corporate-owned life insurance policies were recorded at their cash surrender value, which 
approximates fair value at the balance sheet date. In the Consolidated Balance Sheets at the balance sheet date, the cash surrender 
value of $1.0 million for the remaining policies were held in “Other non-current assets,” and the present value of future proceeds owed 
to those executives’ designated beneficiary of $0.1 million, which approximates fair value, were recorded within “Other non-current 
liabilities.” Additional information regarding the investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies is provided in Note 10, 
Employee Benefit Plans. 

Income Taxes. Income tax expense includes U.S. and foreign income taxes and is based on reported income before income taxes. We 
recognize deferred tax assets and liabilities based on the differences between the financial statement carrying amounts and the tax 
basis of assets and liabilities. The deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the enacted tax rates expected to apply in 
the periods in which the deferred tax assets or liabilities are anticipated to be settled or realized. 

We regularly review our deferred tax assets for recoverability and establish a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that 
some portion, or all, of a deferred tax asset will not be realized. The determination as to whether a deferred tax asset will be realized is 
made on a jurisdictional basis and is based on the evaluation of positive and negative evidence. This evidence includes historical 
taxable income, projected future taxable income, the expected timing of the reversal of existing temporary differences and the 
implementation of tax planning strategies. 

We recognize the tax benefit from uncertain tax positions only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on 
examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized from uncertain tax 
positions are measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than fifty percent likely of being realized upon ultimate 
settlement. No tax benefits are recognized for positions that do not meet this threshold. Interest related to uncertain tax positions is 
recognized as part of the provision for income taxes and is accrued beginning in the period that such interest would be applicable 
under relevant tax law until such time that the related tax benefits are recognized. Our income taxes are described further in Note 9, 
Income Taxes. 

Advertising and Promotion Expense. We expense advertising and promotion expense as incurred. Advertising and promotion expense 
was $2.6 million, $0.4 million and $2.7 million in fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Reclassification. Certain prior year balances have been reclassed to conform to the current year presentation. Specifically, we 
reclassed certain employee benefit obligations from non-current to current liabilities. 

Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements 

In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities From Contracts With 
Customers (ASU No. 2021-08), which amends Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 805 to require acquiring entities to apply 
ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) to recognize and measure contract assets and contract 
liabilities in a business combination. The ASU is intended to improve the accounting for acquired revenue contracts with customers in 
a business combination by addressing diversity in practice and inconsistency related to the recognition of an acquired contract liability 
as well as the payment terms and their impact on subsequent revenue recognized by the acquirer. The new standard will be effective 
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, 
including adoption in an interim period. We adopted ASU 2021-08 during the three months ended March 31, 2022 – see Note 15, 
Business Combination. 

In August 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2020-06, Debt—
Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity 
(Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting 
for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the 
conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result 
in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument will be 
reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also 
removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted 
earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement 
be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 
2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after 
December 15, 2020. We adopted ASU 2020-06 as of April 1, 2021 with no impact on our condensed consolidated financial 
statements. 

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, 
which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes, and is meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for 
income taxes. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those 
fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2019-12 as of April 1, 2021 with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial 
statements. 

Management continually evaluates the potential impact, if any, of all recent accounting pronouncements on our consolidated financial 
statements or related disclosures and, if significant, makes the appropriate disclosures required by such new accounting 
pronouncements. 

3. Revenue Recognition 

For in depth discussion regarding our revenue recognition procedures for our revenue streams, see Note 2, Summary of Significant 
Accounting Policies. 

Disaggregation of Revenue 

We derive and report our revenue from the sale of products (software licenses, third party hardware and operating systems), support, 
maintenance and subscription services and professional services. Revenue recognized at a point in time (products) totaled $36.0 
million, $26.7 million, and $44.2 million during fiscal 2022, 2021 and 2020. Revenue recognized over time (support, maintenance and 
subscription services and professional services) totaled $126.7 million, $110.5 million, and $116.5 million during fiscal 2022, 2021, 
and 2020. 

Contract Balances 

Contract assets are rights to consideration in exchange for goods or services that we have transferred to a customer when that right is 
conditional on something other than the passage of time. The majority of our contract assets represent unbilled amounts related to 
products and professional services. We expect billing and collection of our contract assets to occur within the next twelve months. We 
receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules and accounts receivable are recorded when the right to 

49 

 
consideration becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities represent consideration received or consideration which is unconditionally 
due from customers prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of the contract. 

Revenue recognized from amounts included in contract liabilities at the beginning of the period was $38.1 million and $40.9 million 
during fiscal 2022 and 2021. During fiscal 2022 and 2021, we transferred from contract assets at the beginning of the period, $2.4 
million and $2.0 million, respectively, to accounts receivable because the right to the transaction became unconditional.  

Our arrangements are for a period of one year or less. As a result, unsatisfied performance obligations as of March 31, 2022 are 
expected to be satisfied and the allocated transaction price recognized in revenue within a period of 12 months or less. 

Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain a Contract 

Sales commission expenses that would not have occurred absent the customer contracts are considered incremental costs to obtain a 
contract. We have elected to take the practical expedient available to expense the incremental costs to obtain a contract as incurred 
when the expected benefit and amortization period is one year or less. For subscription contracts that are renewed monthly based on an 
agreement term, we capitalize commission expenses and amortize as we satisfy the underlying performance obligations, generally 
based on the contract terms and anticipated renewals. For first year support and maintenance service contracts, commission expenses 
are immaterial and therefore expenses as incurred. Other sales commission expenses are not material or have a period of benefit of one 
year or less, and are therefore expensed as incurred in line with the practical expedient elected. 

We had $3.3 million and $2.9 million of capitalized sales incentive costs as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. These balances 
are included in other non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal 2022 and 2021, we expensed $2.5 million 
and $2.8 million, respectively, of sales commissions, which included amortization of capitalized amounts of $1.2 million and $1.4 
million, respectively. These expenses are included in operating expenses – sales and marketing in our Consolidated Statement of 
Operations. All other costs to obtain a contract are not considered incremental and therefore are expensed as incurred.

The Company capitalizes internal-use software, including software used exclusively in providing services or that is only made 
available to customers as a software service, as property and equipment under ASC 350-40, Internal-Use Software. Total amortization 
expense on capitalized internal-use software was $1.3 million, $2.0 million and $2.5 million during fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, 
respectively.

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, comprised of our purchased trade name InfoGenesis as of March 31, 2022 and 2021 are tested for 
impairment upon identification of impairment indicators or at least annually. An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount 
is greater than fair value. The InfoGenesis indefinite-lived purchased trade name impairment testing resulted in a fair value exceeding 
the carrying amount for the years ending March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. 

Amortization expense related to software development costs related to assets to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed was $12.6 
million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020. These charges are included as Products cost of goods sold within the Consolidated 
Statements of Operations. 

6. Leases 

The majority of our leases are comprised of real estate leases for our respective offices around the globe. Our finance leases consist of 
office equipment. We have no residual value guarantees or restrictions or covenants imposed by or associated with our active leases. 

As of March 31, 2022, we have an additional operating lease that has not yet commenced of approximately $11.7 million. This 
operating lease will commence in fiscal year 2023 with a lease term of approximately eleven years. We do not have any related party 
leases. We have variable payments for expenses such as common area maintenance and taxes. We do not have variable payments that

costs are expensed as incurred.

We have elected to account for global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) inclusions in the period in which they are incurred. 

Our tax provision includes a provision for income taxes in certain foreign jurisdictions where subsidiaries are profitable, but only a 
minimal benefit is reflected related to U.S. and certain foreign tax losses due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of future 
benefits from these losses. The fiscal 2022 tax provision results primarily from foreign tax benefit. The fiscal 2022 tax provision 
differs from the statutory rate primarily due to adjustments to deferred tax assets and the recording of net operating losses in a number 
of foreign jurisdictions offset by current year expense in other foreign jurisdictions. 

The fiscal 2021 tax provision results primarily from foreign tax benefit. The fiscal 2021 tax provision differs from the statutory rate 
primarily due to adjustments to deferred tax assets and the recording of net operating losses in a number of foreign jurisdictions offset 
by current year expense in other foreign jurisdictions.

At March 31, 2022, we had $196.3 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2031 to 
2038, and $42.8 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward indefinitely. Our Hong Kong, 
Malaysia, Singapore and Australia subsidiaries have $0.4 million, $0.1 million, $0.2 million and $0.1 million of net operating loss 
carryforwards, respectively. The losses for Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore and Australia can be carried forward indefinitely. Our

India subsidiary operates in a “Special Economic Zone (“SEZ”)”. One of the benefits associated with the SEZ is that the India 
subsidiary is not subject to regular India income taxes during its first 5 years of operations which includes fiscal 2018 through fiscal 
2022. The India subsidiary is then subject to 50% of regular India income taxes during the second five years of operations which 
includes fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2027. The aggregate value of the benefit of the SEZ during the current fiscal year is $2.6 million as 
of March 31, 2022. The Company has paid minimum alternative taxes during the period of regular tax relief resulting in a credit of 
$2.0 million as of March 31, 2022. 

At March 31, 2022 we also had $166.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2023 
through 2041. 

We recorded valuation allowances related to certain deferred income tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the 
future benefits from those assets. At March 31, 2022, the total valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $69.5 million was 
comprised of $68.6 million for federal and state deferred tax assets, and $0.9 million associated with deferred tax assets in Hong 
Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines and Australia. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers 
whether it is more-likely-than-not that some, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. We have recorded a valuation 
allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the 
generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible. Management considers 
the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected 
taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment. In order to fully realize the deferred tax assets, we will need to 
generate future taxable income before the expiration of the deferred tax assets governed by the tax code. Because of our losses in 
recent periods, management believes that it is more-likely-than-not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. 
The amount of the valuation allowance, however, could be reduced in the near term. The exact timing will be based on the level of 
profitability that we are able to achieve and our visibility into future results. Our recorded tax rate may increase in subsequent periods 
following a valuation release. Any valuation allowance release will not affect the amount of cash paid for income taxes. 

The undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes unless such earnings are 
distributed in the form of dividends or otherwise to the extent of current and accumulated earnings and profits. The undistributed 
earnings of foreign subsidiaries are permanently reinvested and totaled $17.1 million and $8.4 million as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, 
respectively. We made the determination of permanent reinvestment on the basis of sufficient evidence that demonstrates we will 
invest the undistributed earnings overseas indefinitely for use in working capital, as well as foreign acquisitions and expansion. The 
determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not 
practicable. 

We recorded a liability for uncertain tax positions. The aggregate changes in the balance of our uncertain tax positions were as follows 
for the years ended March 31:

As of March 31, 2022, we had a liability of $0.6 million related to uncertain tax positions, the recognition of which would affect our 
effective income tax rate. 

Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months an 
immaterial reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. We are 
consistently subject to tax audits; due to the nature of examinations in multiple jurisdictions, changes could occur in the amount of 
gross unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months which cannot be estimated at this time. 

We recognize interest accrued on any uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. Penalties are recognized as a 
component of general and administrative expenses. We recognized interest and penalty expense of less than $0.1 million for the years 
ended March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. As of March 31, 2022 and 2021, we had approximately $1.2 million and $1.0 million, 
respectively, of interest and penalties accrued in other non-current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

In the U.S. we file consolidated federal and state income tax returns where statutes of limitations generally range from three to five 
years. Although we have resolved examinations with the IRS through tax year ended March 31, 2010, U.S. federal tax years are open 
from 2006 forward due to attribute carryforwards. The statute of limitations is open from fiscal year 2015 forward in certain state 

55 

 
 
 
   
   
 
   
   
   
jurisdictions. We also file income tax returns in international jurisdictions where statutes of limitations generally range from three to 
seven years. Years beginning after 2011 are open for examination by certain foreign taxing authorities. 

The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) 

The CARES Act provides, among other provisions, for the deferral of the employer-paid portion of social security taxes through the 
end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2022. 

10. Employee Benefit Plans 

Defined Contribution Plans 

We maintain 401(k) plans for employees located in the United States meeting certain service requirements. Generally, the plans allow 
eligible employees to contribute a portion of their compensation, and we match 100% of the first 1% of the employee's pre-tax 
contributions and 50% of the next 5% of the employee's pre-tax contributions. We may also make discretionary contributions each 
year for the benefit of all eligible employees under the plans. Agilysys matching contributions were $1.4 million, $0.1 million, and 
$1.8 million in fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. 

We also maintain defined contribution retirement plans for employees located in the United Kingdom and in the Asia Pacific region in 
accordance with local statutory requirements and business practices. 

Defined Benefit Plan 

We maintain a defined benefit retirement plan (the “Gratuity Plan”) covering eligible employees of our India subsidiary in accordance 
with local statutory requirements and business practices. The Gratuity Plan provides a lump-sum payment to vested employees at 
retirement, death, incapacitation, or termination of employment, of an amount based on the respective employee’s salary and the 
tenure of employment with the Company. The Gratuity Plan is unfunded with obligation amounts recorded in the Consolidated 
Balance Sheets as “Employee benefit obligations” within “Other non-current liabilities” and "Salaries, wages, and related benefits" 
within "Accrued liabilities".  

Endorsement Split-Dollar Life Insurance 

Agilysys provides certain former executives with life insurance benefits through endorsement split-dollar life insurance arrangements. 
We entered into agreements with each of the former executives, whereby we must maintain the life insurance policy for a specified 
amount and split a portion of the policy benefits with their designated beneficiary.  

Our investment in these corporate-owned life insurance policies were recorded at their cash surrender value, which approximates fair 
value at the balance sheet date. In the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022 and 2021, the cash surrender value of $1.0 
million for the remaining policies were held in “Other non-current assets,” and the present value of future proceeds owed to those 
executives' designated beneficiaries of $0.1 million, which approximates fair value, were recorded within "Other non-current 
liabilities." 

Changes in the cash surrender value of these policies related to gains and losses incurred on these investments are classified within 
“Other (income) expenses, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. We recorded a gain of $13,000, $31,000 
and $14,000 in fiscal 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively, related to the corporate-owned life insurance policies. 

11. Commitments and Contingencies 

Legal Contingencies 

We are involved in legal actions that arise in the ordinary course of business. It is the opinion of management that the resolution of 
any current pending litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. 

On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California alleging 
that certain of our products infringe patents owned by Ameranth directed to configuring and transmitting hospitality menus (e.g., 
restaurant menus) for display on electronic devices, and synchronizing the menu content between devices. The case against us was 
consolidated with similar cases brought by Ameranth against more than 30 other defendants. All but one of the patents at issue in the 
case were invalidated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in 2016. In September 2018, the District Court found the 

56 

 
one surviving Ameranth patent invalid and granted summary judgment in favor of the movant co-defendants. This judgment was 
affirmed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in November 2019 with respect to all claims except for two, which were 
not asserted against Agilysys, and Ameranth’s writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was denied in October 2020. In 
December 2021, the District Court denied Ameranth’s motion to assert additional claims against the defendants. In March 2022, the 
District Court granted summary judgment in favor of the defendants still facing the remaining claims. Subsequently, Ameranth 
appealed the grant of summary judgment with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. On May 11, 2022, in accordance with 
its prior rulings, the District Court entered judgment in favor of us and against Ameranth on all claims asserted against us.  

At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of Ameranth’s pending appeal on their claims against us, or any possible monetary 
exposure associated with the lawsuit. However, we dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and are vigorously defending ourselves in 
this matter.

Basic income (loss) per share is computed as net income available to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic 
shares outstanding. The outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average basic shares excludes 147,973, 132,198 and 
208,581 of restricted shares and performance shares at March 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively, as these shares were issued but 
were not vested and, therefore, not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic earnings per share at the balance sheet 
dates. 

Diluted income (loss) per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. We have stock-settled 
appreciation rights ("SSARs") and unvested restricted shares that are potentially dilutive securities. When a loss is reported, the 
denominator of diluted earnings per share cannot be adjusted for the dilutive impact of share-based compensation awards because 
doing so would be anti-dilutive. 

13. Share-based Compensation 

We may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, SSARs, restricted shares, and performance shares under our 
shareholder-approved 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2020 Plan) for up to 2.25 million common shares, plus 868,864 common shares, 
the number of shares that were remaining for grant under the 2016 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2016 Plan) as of the effective date of the 
2020 Plan, plus the number of shares remaining for grant under the 2016 Plan that are forfeited, settled in cash, canceled or expired. 
The maximum aggregate number of restricted shares or restricted share units that may be granted under the 2020 Plan is 3.1 million.

We may distribute authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares to satisfy share option and SSAR exercises or restricted share and 
performance share grants. 

For SSARs, the exercise price must be set at least equal to the closing market price of our common shares on the date of grant. The 
maximum term of SSARs is seven years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors establishes 
the period over which SSARs subject to a service condition vest and the vesting criteria for SSARs subject to a market condition. 

Restricted shares, whether time-vested or performance-based, may be issued at no cost or at a purchase price that may be below their 
fair market value, but are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer. Performance-based grants may be 
conditioned upon the attainment of specified performance objectives and other conditions, restrictions, and contingencies. Restricted 
shares have the right to receive dividends, if any, upon vesting, subject to the same forfeiture provisions that apply to the underlying 
grants. 

We record compensation expense related to SSARs, restricted shares, and performance shares granted to certain employees and non-
employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted share grants subject only to a 
service condition is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. For stock option and SSAR grants subject only 
to a service condition, we estimate the fair value on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with inputs 
including the closing market price at grant date, exercise price and assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, expected volatility 
of our common shares based on historical volatility, and expected term as estimated using the simplified method. For restricted share 
and SSAR grants subject to a market condition, we estimate the fair value on the grant date through a lattice option pricing model that 
utilizes a Monte Carlo analysis with inputs including the closing market price at grant date, share price threshold and assumptions 
regarding the risk-free interest rate and expected volatility of our common shares based on historical volatility. Inputs for SSAR grants 
subject to a market condition also include exercise price, remaining contractual term, and suboptimal exercise factor. 

We record compensation expense for restricted shares and SSAR grants subject to a service condition using the graded vesting 
method. We record compensation expense for SSAR grants subject only to a market condition over the derived service period, which 
is an output of the lattice option pricing model. Under the 2020 Plan, the fair value of performance shares is based on the closing price 
of our common shares on the settlement date of the performance award, for which we record compensation expense over the service 
period consistent with our annual bonus incentive plan as approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. 

The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense for SSARs, restricted and performance awards included in the

SSARs are rights granted to an employee to receive value equal to the difference between the price of our common shares on the date 
of exercise and the exercise price. The value is settled in common shares of Agilysys, Inc. 

We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of service condition SSARs. There were no service 
condition SSARs granted in fiscal 2022. The following table summarizes the principal assumptions utilized in valuing service condition 
SSARs granted in fiscal 2021 and 2020:

  $ 

The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period approximates the expected 
life of the SSARs. The expected life is estimated using historical data representing the period of time the awards are expected to be

outstanding. The estimated fair value of the SSARs granted is recognized over the vesting period of the awards utilizing the graded 
vesting method. Under this method, the compensation cost related to unvested amounts begins to be recognized as of the grant date. 

We use a Lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of market condition SSARs. There were no market condition SSARs 
granted in fiscal 2022. The following table summarizes the principal valuation assumptions utilized and the resulting fair value of

As of March 31, 2022, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested service condition SSARs was $3.8 
million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of 1.0 years. 

A total of 636,238 shares, net of 31,513 shares withheld to cover the employee’s minimum applicable income taxes, were issued from 
treasury shares to settle SSARs exercised during the twelve months ended March 31, 2022. The shares withheld were returned to 
treasury shares. 

Restricted Shares 

We use a Lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of restricted shares subject to a market condition. There were no

As of March 31, 2022, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was $4.5 million, 
which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.2 years. We do not include restricted shares in the 
calculation of earnings per share until the shares are vested. 

Performance Shares 

Upon approval of the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, after achieving the performance conditions associated with 
our annual bonus plan, we grant common shares to our Chief Executive Officer that vest immediately. Once attainment of the 
performance conditions becomes probable, we recognize compensation expense related to performance shares ratably over the 
performance period. The number of performance shares granted will be based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant 
date and settlement date, which are the same under the 2020 plan. 

Based on the performance conditions achieved as they relate to our annual bonus plan, management estimates a liability of $0.2 
million as of March 31, 2022, to be settled through the granting and vesting of performance shares after March 31, 2022. We 
recognized compensation expense related to performance shares of $0.2 million in each of the fiscal years ending March 31, 2022, 
2021, and 2020, respectively. 

14. Preferred Stock 

Series A Convertible Preferred Stock 

On May 22, 2020, we completed the sale of 1,735,457 shares of our preferred stock, without par value, designated as “Series A 
Convertible Preferred Stock” (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”) to MAK Capital Fund L.P. and MAK Capital Distressed Debt Fund 
I, LP (the “Holders”) each, in its capacity as a designee of MAK Capital One LLC (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to the terms of the 
Investment Agreement, dated as of May 11, 2020, between the Company and the Purchaser, for an aggregate purchase price of $35 
million. We incurred issuance costs of $1.0 million. We added all issuance costs that were netted against the proceeds upon issuance 
of the Convertible Preferred Stock to its redemption value. As disclosed in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 
2020, Michael Kaufman, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the Chief Executive Officer of MAK Capital One 
LLC.

We classify convertible preferred stock as temporary equity in the consolidated balance sheets due to certain contingent redemption 
clauses that are at the election of the Holders. We increase the carrying value of the convertible preferred stock to its redemption value 
(described below) for all undeclared dividends using the interest method. 

The Convertible Preferred Stock has the following rights, preferences and restrictions (the Certificate of Designation included as 
Exhibit 3.3 to our Current Report on Form 8-K on February 9, 2022, which superseded the Certificate of Amendment included as 
Exhibit 3.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed on May 26, 2020, when we converted to a Delaware corporation in February 
2022, defines all terms not otherwise defined below): 

Voting 

The Holders are entitled to one vote for each share of Convertible Preferred Stock upon all matters presented to the common 
shareholders of the Company, and except as otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation of the Company or required by 
law, the Holders and common shareholders will vote together as one class on all matters. Additionally, certain matters specific to the 
Convertible Preferred Stock will require the approval of two-thirds of the outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock, voting as a 
separate class. 

Liquidation Preference 

Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Convertible Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an 
amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the purchase price paid by the Purchaser, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the 
“Liquidation Preference”) and (ii) the amount that the Holder would have been entitled to receive at such time if the Convertible 
Preferred Stock were converted into common stock. 

Redemption 

On and after the fifth anniversary of the date the Convertible Preferred Stock was initially issued, the Company will have the right, 
and the Holders will have the right to require the Company, in each case, at the initiating party’s election, to redeem all, but not less 
than all, of the then-outstanding Convertible Preferred Stock for an amount equal to the Liquidation Preference. 

Conversion 

Each Holder has the right, at its option, to convert its Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into fully paid and non-
assessable shares of common stock at a conversion price equal to $20.1676 per share (as may be adjusted from time to time, as 
described in the Certificate of Designation). 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company may, at its option, require conversion of all of the outstanding shares of Convertible 
Preferred Stock to common stock if, at any time after November 22, 2023, the daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s 
common stock is at least 150% of the conversion price for at least 20 trading days during the 30 consecutive trading days immediately 
preceding the date the Company notifies the Holders of the election to convert. 

Dividends 

The Holders are entitled to dividends on the Liquidation Preference at the rate of 5.25% per annum, payable semi-annually either (i) 
50% in cash and 50% in kind as an increase in the then-current Liquidation Preference or (ii) 100% in cash, at the option of the 
Company. The Holders are not entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on the common stock on an as-converted basis; 
however, certain anti-dilution adjustments to the Convertible Preferred Stock may be made in the event of such dividends. 

The Convertible Preferred Stock ranks senior to the Company’s common stock with respect to dividends and distributions on 
liquidation, winding-up and dissolution. Upon a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, each share of Convertible 
Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive an amount per share equal to the greater of (i) the Liquidation Preference and (ii) the 
amount that the Holder would have been entitled to receive at such time if the Convertible Preferred Stock were converted into 
common stock. 

Change in Control Events 

Upon certain change of control events involving the Company, the Company has the right, and each Holder has the right, in each case, 
at the initiating party’s election, to require the Company to repurchase all or a portion of its then-outstanding shares of Convertible 

61 

 
Preferred Stock for cash consideration equal to (i) 150% of the then-current Liquidation Preference for a change of control occurring 
prior to the third anniversary of the date the Convertible Preferred Stock is initially issued, (ii) 125% of the then-current Liquidation 
Preference for a change of control occurring on or following the third anniversary and prior to the fifth anniversary of the date the 
Convertible Preferred Stock is initially issued and (iii) 100% of the then-current Liquidation Preference for a change of control 
occurring on or following the fifth anniversary of the date the Convertible Preferred Stock is initially issued. 

Standstill Restrictions 

The Purchaser and its affiliates are subject to certain customary standstill provisions that restrict them from, among other actions, 
acquiring additional securities of the Company if such acquisition would result in the Purchaser beneficially owning in excess of 25% 
of the outstanding shares of common stock of the Company until the later of the third anniversary of the date the Convertible Preferred 
Stock is initially issued and the date on which the Purchaser no longer has record or beneficial ownership of common stock and 
Convertible Preferred Stock that constitute at least 10% of the outstanding common stock. 
15. Business Combination 

On January 5, 2022 (the acquisition date), we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of ResortSuite Inc. (“ResortSuite”), a 
Canada-based fully integrated property management solutions provider focused on the complex multi-amenity and resort market. The 
consolidated financial statements include the results of ResortSuite’s operations since the acquisition date. The acquisition extends our 
solutions to customers in the complex multi-amenity and resort market. 

The purchase price consisted of $22.6 million of cash paid at closing, funded from cash on hand, partially offset by $0.3 million of 
ResortSuite’s cash received in the acquisition, and $2.2 million of cash paid in March for certain ResortSuite tax liabilities resulting in 
net cash consideration of $24.5 million. We allocated the purchase price for ResortSuite to the intangible and certain tangible assets 
acquired and certain liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, with the remaining unallocated 
purchase price recorded as goodwill. We determined the fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired primarily by 
using the income approach, which discounts the expected future cash flows to present value using estimates and assumptions 
determined by management. 

In accordance with ASU No. 2021-08, we applied Topic 606 to record certain customer accounts receivable and the contract liabilities 
assumed in the acquisition, which consisted of undelivered performance obligations under customer contracts. We adopted ASU 2021-
08 early as permitted. As a result, in allocating the purchase price, we recorded $2.8 million of contract liabilities, representing the 
revenue that will be recognized as the underlying performance obligations are delivered. 

The following table sets forth the components and the allocation of the purchase price for our acquisition of ResortSuite:

We assigned the acquired customer relationships, non-competition agreements, developed technology, and trade names estimated 
useful lives of 15 years, two years, five years, and five years, respectively, the weighted average of which is approximately 12.7 years. 
The acquired identifiable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis, which we believe approximates the pattern in 
which the assets are utilized, over their estimated useful lives. 

The goodwill recognized in the ResortSuite purchase price allocation is attributable to synergies in products and technologies to serve 
a broader customer base, and the addition of a skilled, assembled workforce. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of $13.1 
million of goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes. 

The Company recognized acquisition costs of $0.5 million related to the acquisition of ResortSuite, consisting primarily of 
professional fees, during the year ended March 31, 2022. The consolidated statement of operations includes these costs in severance 
and other charges. 

Revenue attributable to ResortSuite included in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended March 31, 2022 was $1.3 
million. Net income (loss) was not material. The pro forma impact of the business combination during the two years ended March 31, 
2022 was not material to our historical consolidated operating results and is therefore not presented. 

We have prepared the purchase price allocation for ResortSuite on a preliminary basis. Changes to the allocation may occur as 
additional information becomes available during the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date). 

Effective April 1, 2022, ResortSuite became Agilysys Canada, Inc. a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agilysys, Inc.

Item 9A.   Controls and Procedures. 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures 

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), evaluated the 
effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the 
CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report are effective to 
ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports filed under the Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, 
summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to 
our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. A controls 
system cannot provide absolute assurance, however, that the objectives of the controls system are met, and no evaluation of controls 
can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within a company have been detected. 

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting 

The management of Agilysys, under the supervision of the CEO and CFO, is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate 
internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the 
supervision of our CEO and CFO, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial 
reporting as of March 31, 2022 based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of 
Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). In performing the evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal 
control over financial reporting, because we acquired ResortSuite Inc. (“ResortSuite”) in a business combination on January 5, 2022 
as described in Part II, Item 8, Note 15, Business Combination, to our consolidated financial statements, our management has 
excluded the operations of ResortSuite in accordance with the SEC’s general guidance that an assessment of a recently acquired 
business may be omitted from the scope of the evaluation for a period of up to one year following the acquisition. Total assets 
(excluding goodwill and intangible assets acquired) and revenue subject to ResortSuite’s internal control over financial reporting 
represented approximately 1% and less than 1% of our consolidated total assets and revenue, respectively, as of and for the year ended 
March 31, 2022. Based on the evaluation, management concluded that Agilysys maintained effective internal control over financial 
reporting as of March 31, 2022. 

Grant Thornton LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, issued their report regarding Agilysys' internal control over 
financial reporting as of March 31, 2022, which is included elsewhere in this annual report. 

Change in Internal Control over Financial Reporting 

No changes in our internal control over financial reporting occurred during the last quarter of fiscal 2022 that has materially affected, 
or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, 
significant portions of our global workforce continued to operate primarily in a work from home environment for the quarter ended 
March 31, 2022. While we continue to adapt our work model in response to the ongoing global pandemic, we believe our internal 
controls over financial reporting continue to be effective. 

Item 9B.    Other Information 

The Company currently plans to hold its 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on August 26, 2022. Pursuant to the provisions of the 
Company’s Bylaws, for any stockholder to propose business (other than pursuant to and in compliance with Exchange Act Rule 14a-
8) or make a nomination before the annual meeting, the stockholder must deliver written notice to the Secretary of the Company at the 
principal executive offices of the Company and received by the secretary not less than 90 nor more than 120 days prior to the first 
anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is 
advanced by more than 30 days or delayed by more than 30 days from such anniversary date, notice by the stockholder to be timely 
must be so received not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth 
(10th) calendar day following the day on which public disclosure of the date of such annual meeting is first made.  The 2022 annual 
meeting date is more than 30 days in advance of the anniversary of the date of the Company’s 2021 annual meeting, which was held 
on November 18, 2021.  Accordingly, the Company has determined that the date by which stockholders must deliver such notice for 
the purposes of the 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is June 2, 2022, which is 10 days after the filing of this Annual Report on 
Form 10-K. Pursuant to Rule 14a-8, for a stockholder to submit a proposal for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 
2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholder must comply with the requirements set forth in Rule 14a-8 including with

respect to the subject matter of such proposal and must deliver the proposal and all required documentation to the Company a 
reasonable time before the Company begins to print and send its proxy materials for the meeting. For the purposes of the 2022 Annual 
Meeting of Stockholders, the Company has determined that June 17, 2022 is a reasonable time before the Company plans to begin 
printing and mailing its proxy materials. The public announcement of an adjournment or postponement of the 2022 Annual Meeting 
date will not commence a new time period (or extend any time period) for giving such notice under the Company’s Bylaws or 
submitting a proposal pursuant to Rule 14a-8.
