Agilysys Reports Unaudited Fiscal 2008 Second-Quarter Results

• Sales increase 100% compared with last year’s second quarter

• Income from continuing operations improves to $1.4 million compared with a loss of $4.8 million a year ago

• EPS from continuing operations was $0.05 for the second quarter compared with a loss of $0.16 last year

BOCA RATON, Fla. — November 1, 2007 — Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, today announced fiscal 2008 unaudited second-quarter results for the period ended September 30, 2007.

Second-Quarter Results of Operations

Sales for the second quarter increased 100% to $196.2 million, compared with $97.9 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Growth in the base business contributed $18.3 million or 18.6% of the sales increase for the quarter, representing an increase of 18.7% compared with last year. Revenue from acquisitions contributed $80.0 million, or 81.4%, of the increase.

Fiscal 2008 second-quarter sales of hardware products increased 125.9% to $146.9 million. Software sales increased 131.8% to $14.6 million, and services revenue increased 30.5% to $34.7 million.

Gross margin for the second quarter was $42.8 million, or 21.8% of sales, compared with $24.5 million, or 25.0% of sales, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The decline in gross margin percentage was due to the change in customers and the resulting product mix in the quarter compared with the year-ago quarter.

Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the second quarter were in line with the company’s expectations at $46.4 million, or 23.6% of sales, compared with $31.5 million, or 32.2% of sales, in the same quarter a year ago. The $14.8 million increase in SG&A expenses was due to the company’s recent acquisitions, including $14.3 million of incremental operating expenses and $0.3 million of one-time expenses.

Net interest income for the second quarter was $3.5 million compared with $0.6 million in the same period last year. The improvement was due to the company’s significantly higher cash position as a result of the sale of the KeyLink Systems Distribution Business, and lower average debt levels compared with last year.

Income from continuing operations for the second quarter was $1.4 million, or $0.05 per share, compared with a loss from continuing operations of $4.8 million, or a loss of $0.16 per share, for the second quarter last year. Net income for the second quarter was $3.4 million compared with $5.5 million last year. Last year’s second-quarter net income includes $10.3 million from discontinued operations of the distribution business, which the company divested earlier this year.

EBITDA from continuing operations (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, and results of discontinued operations) was a loss of $0.5 million for the current quarter, compared with a loss of $5.1 million last year. (NOTE: A reconciliation of net earnings to EBITDA is provided in the financial tables included in this release. This financial measure of profitability is included to supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) in this press release. See the “Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information” section in this release for further information.)

Arthur Rhein, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Agilysys, said, “I am extremely pleased with the progress we have made both strategically and tactically. The substantial growth in our revenues this quarter was the result of our organic business outperforming the market, and the full-quarter contributions of our newly acquired businesses. SG&A as a percent of net sales has declined significantly from a year ago, further demonstrating our ability to improve our operating leverage.”

Six-Month Results of Operations

For the six months ended September 30, 2007, sales were $324.6 million, a 58.3% increase compared with sales of $205.0 million reported for the comparable period last year. Organic growth accounted for $27.6 million, or 23.1%, of the increase in sales, representing a 13.5% increase as compared with last year. Incremental sales from the company’s recent acquisitions accounted for $92.0 million, or 76.9%, of the increase.

First-half sales of hardware products were $237.9 million, up 69.0% from $140.8 million in the first half of last year. Software sales were $27.0 million, up 94.5% from $13.9 million a year ago. Services revenue was $59.7 million, up 18.5% from $50.4 million in last year’s first six months.

Gross margin for the first half was 23.1% of sales, compared with 26.0% in the prior year. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $84.0 million, or 25.9% of sales, for the first half, compared with $62.9 million, or 30.7%, in the prior year.

The company recorded income from continuing operations for the first six months of $4.1 million, or $0.13 per share, compared with a loss of $7.6 million, or a loss of $0.25 per share, for the same period a year ago. Net income for the first six months, including discontinued operations, was $6.0 million compared with $12.2 million a year ago.

“Our current performance, including our successful acquisition integrations and strong cash position, certainly bodes well as we continue to execute our strategy, and we are on target to meet or exceed our stated goals,” said Rhein.

Acquisition of Innovativ Completed

On July 2, 2007, Agilysys completed its most recent acquisition of Innovativ Systems Design, Inc., a privately held integrator and value-added reseller of servers, enterprise storage management products and professional services. Innovativ is the largest U.S. commercial reseller of Sun Microsystems servers and storage products. With the company’s Sun relationship and strong presence in financial services and telecommunications, the acquisition further diversifies Agilysys’ supplier mix, establishes new markets and broadens the company’s customer base.

Innovativ’s accounting policies have been conformed to Agilysys’ current practices, which are in accordance with U.S. GAAP.  The primary change in Innovativ’s accounting policies relates to revenues generated from the sale of third-party service contracts which now reflect “commission” received (equal to the selling price less the cost of sale), rather than the full amount of the selling price with separate reporting of the cost of sale.  Although conformity of this accounting policy results in a reduction of net sales, there is no impact on gross profit or operating results. Gross revenues for Innovativ were previously reported at approximately $256 million. With the adjustment for services, revenues were $235 million. The impact of the adjustment has been reflected in Agilysys’ revenue guidance for fiscal 2008.

Balance Sheet and Treasury Highlights

Cash and cash equivalents were $167.8 million compared with $604.7 million at March 31, 2007. For the first six months of fiscal 2008, the company used cash for income tax payments of $127.8 million related to the operating results and gain on the sale of the KeyLink Systems Distribution Business, along with a $10.8 million working capital adjustment (of which $10.0 million was accrued at year-end) and $13.2 million in fees and contingencies, all as a result of the sale. In addition, the company paid $212.8 million

2

for the acquisitions of Innovativ, Stack Computer and InfoGenesis, and $86.1 million for the purchase of treasury shares through its self-tender offer in the second quarter. Excluding taxes and transaction expenses associated with the divestiture of KeyLink Systems, the company generated $8.5 million in cash flow from operations for the first six months of fiscal 2008.

As of September 30, 2007, accounts receivable were $172.2 million, an increase of 47.5%, or $55.4 million, compared with $116.7 million at March 31, 2007. Inventory was $16.5 million at September 30, 2007, compared with $9.9 million at March 31, 2007. Accounts payable of $119.8 million increased 42% from $84.3 million at March 31, 2007. For the first six months of fiscal 2008, the increases in receivables, payables and inventory were due to the overall increase in company sales and the impact of recent acquisitions.

Net working capital was 5% of sales in the second quarter of fiscal 2008. This reflects an improvement from 7.7% a year ago, and is in line with the company’s goal of keeping working capital at approximately 5% of sales.

Share Repurchases

On September 26, 2007, Agilysys announced the final results of its “Dutch Auction” tender offer, which expired September 19, 2007. The company accepted for purchase 4,653,287 shares at a price of $18.50 per share, for a total cost of approximately $86.1 million, excluding fees and expenses related to the tender offer. The shares repurchased in the tender offer represented approximately 15% of the company’s outstanding shares. Following the tender offer, Agilysys has approximately 26.8 million shares outstanding.

Also, as previously announced, Agilysys has adopted a program to repurchase up to an additional 2,000,000 shares in the open market and has entered into a Rule 10b5-1 Plan to facilitate the repurchase of shares. As of October 26, 2007, 445,602 common shares have been repurchased for approximately $7.6 million under the plan. The company anticipates that the 10b5-1 Plan will be in place for up to one year following the expiration of the tender offer.

Business Outlook

As of the fiscal 2008 second quarter, the company is refining guidance to account for half-year performance and the change to Innovativ revenue accounting policies discussed above. Revenue guidance is adjusted to reflect Innovativ services as net versus gross, as previously reported. The impact of this accounting policy adjustment is to reduce sales by approximately $20 million. As a result, annual sales are expected to be in the range of $780 million to $800 million. Full-year gross margin is expected to be approximately 23.5% of sales, with EBITDA margins of approximately 2.5% to 3% of sales.

SG&A expenses are anticipated to be approximately $179 million, including stock option expense of $6.0 million and approximately $6.0 million in new investments in software development and additional customer-facing employees. Interest income is expected to be approximately $13.5 million and the company anticipates an effective tax rate of approximately 41.5% for the fiscal year. Based on an estimated 28.9 million weighted average shares outstanding, earnings per share are expected to remain in the range of $0.40 to $0.50 per share.

Agilysys also expects fiscal 2008 capital expenditures of approximately $5 million and depreciation and amortization of approximately $15 million, subject to finalizing the intangible asset analysis on the company’s recent acquisitions.

The company continues to be on track to achieve its already stated long-term financial goals including:

• Grow sales to $1 billion within two years of the KeyLink Systems divestiture, and to $1.5 billion in three years;

• Target gross margins in excess of 20% and EBITDA margins of 6% within three years; and

• Continue to target long-term return on capital of 15%.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To supplement the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP in this press release, the company uses the non-GAAP financial measure of EBITDA, defined as net income minus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is further adjusted to remove the results of discontinued operations to arrive at EBITDA from continuing operations.

Management reviews these non-GAAP financial measures internally to evaluate the company’s performance. Additionally, management believes that such information can enhance investors’ understanding of the company’s ongoing operations. The non-GAAP measures included in this press release have been reconciled to the comparable GAAP measures within the accompanying table, as required under SEC rules regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. They should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the company’s results as reported under GAAP.
