• Net Income of $20.0 Million, or 64 Cents Per Diluted Share, up 32% Year-over-Year

• Agilysys IT Solutions Business Sales Increase 10% Year-over-Year to $151.5 Million

BOCA RATON, Fla. – Feb. 5, 2007 – Agilysys, Inc. (NASDAQ: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative information technology (IT) solutions, today announced fiscal 2007 unaudited third-quarter and year-to-date results for the periods ended December 31, 2006.

Consolidated sales for the third quarter were $585.0 million, an increase of 10%, compared with sales of $532.2 million for the third quarter last year. The increase was led by double digit growth in industry-standard server and storage hardware; as well as software. Agilysys also reported positive growth in proprietary servers.

Sales of hardware products in the third quarter were $463.9 million, up 10% from $423.2 million in last year’s third quarter. Software sales were $96.0 million, up 17% from $81.8 million a year ago. Services sales were $25.0 million, down 8% from $27.2 million in last year’s third quarter.

Gross margin for the quarter remained consistent with the third quarter last year at 13.2% of sales.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the third quarter were $44.4 million, or 7.6% of sales, compared with $43.5 million, or 8.2% of sales, for the third quarter last year. Included in the fiscal 2007 third quarter expense is approximately $1.2 million in stock option expense and approximately $0.6 million expense from the company’s Asia operations, which were acquired in December 2005.

Third-quarter net income of $20.0 million, or 64 cents per diluted share, increased 32% compared with a net income of $15.2 million, or 49 cents per diluted share, in the third quarter last year.

Arthur Rhein, Agilysys chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, “I am very pleased with our performance this quarter, including the impressive results achieved in IT solutions, as this will be our business following the announced divestiture of the KeyLink Systems Distribution Business. I would also note the results achieved by KeyLink Systems as the organization prepares for its transition to Arrow Electronics.”

Update on Divestiture of KeyLink Systems Distribution Business

Agilysys recently announced that it signed a definitive agreement to sell its KeyLink Systems Distribution Business to Arrow Electronics, Inc. for $485 million in cash and to use the proceeds from sale to accelerate the growth of its IT Solutions Business.

The agreement to sell substantially all the assets of the KeyLink Systems Distribution Business is subject to a working capital adjustment to be determined at close. Taxes payable on the gain on sale are estimated to be approximately $145 million. Based on the purchase price of $485 million, Agilysys expects to net after-tax proceeds of $340 million.

While the company anticipates the sale of the distribution business will close by March 31, 2007, the transaction is subject to certain closing conditions, including regulatory and Agilysys shareholder approval.

Agilysys plans to hold a special meeting of shareholders on March 12, 2007 at 9 a.m. In connection with the special meeting, shareholders of record at January 31, 2007 are being asked to provide their votes on the proposals contained in the company’s definitive proxy statement.

After the anticipated sale of the distribution business, Agilysys plans to aggressively grow organically and through the acquisition of other solution providers with differentiated value that enhance its product and service offerings, broaden its customer base and expand its markets.

Operating exclusively as a solution provider, Agilysys delivers enterprise IT solutions by selecting the best available technology to meet its customers’ specific needs. The company provides market-leading solutions in infrastructure optimization, storage and resource management, business continuity, and enterprise architecture and availability. Agilysys is a leader in the retail industry, designing solutions that help make customers more productive and their customers more satisfied.

Business Outlook

Given the expected sale of KeyLink Systems, the company’s previous business outlook for Fiscal 2007 is no longer applicable for the remaining business. Following the transaction close, Agilysys plans to issue Fiscal 2008 guidance.

The company has established a number of long-term goals:

• Grow sales from approximately $500 million to $1 billion within two years and to $1.5 billion in three years. Much of this growth will come from acquisitions.

• Target gross margins in excess of 20% and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) of 6% within three years.

• While in the near term return on invested capital will be diluted due to acquisitions and legacy costs, the company continues to target long-term return on capital of 15%.

A conference call to discuss the third-quarter results is scheduled for 11 a.m. ET on Monday, Feb. 5, 2007. The conference call will be broadcast live over the Internet and a replay will be accessible on the investor relations page of the company’s Web site:www.agilysys.com.
