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

Our principal executive offices are located at 3655 Brookside Parkway, Suite 300, Alpharetta, Georgia, 30022.

Reference herein to any particular year or quarter refers to periods within our fiscal year ended March 31. For example, fiscal 2024 refers to the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

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 and staff 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 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; subscription and maintenance; 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
•
Subscription and maintenance
•
Professional services

Total revenue for these three specific areas is as follows:

|  | Year ended March 31, |
(In thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Products |  | $ | 49,083 |  |  | $ | 43,638 |  |  | $ | 35,956 |
Subscription and maintenance |  |  | 138,069 |  |  |  | 118,285 |  |  |  | 98,958 |
Professional services |  |  | 50,312 |  |  |  | 36,142 |  |  |  | 27,722 |
Total |  | $ | 237,464 |  |  | $ | 198,065 |  |  | $ | 162,636 |

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.

Subscription and Maintenance: Software subscription and maintenance 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 “ecosystem cloud” solutions for Hospitality & Leisure, Food & Beverage and Inventory & Procurement functions through the Agilysys Hospitality Experience Cloud.

The Company delivers modular and integrated software solutions and expertise to businesses seeking to maximize Return on Experience (ROE) through hospitality encounters that are both personal and profitable. Over time, customers achieve High Return Hospitality by consistently delighting guests, retaining staff and growing margins. The Agilysys Hospitality Experience Cloud™ offers solution ecosystems that combine core operational systems for property management (PMS), point-of-sale (POS) and Inventory and Procurement (I&P) with Experience Enhancers™ that meaningfully improve interactions for guests and for employees across

dimensions such as digital access, mobile convenience, self-service control, personal choice, payment options, service coverage and real-time insights to improve decisions. Core solutions and Experience Enhancers are selectively combined in Hospitality Solution Studios™ tailored to specific hospitality settings and business needs.

Our integrated yet modular products allow hospitality operators to recruit and delight customers at their facilities, increase their wallet share from each guest, retain valuable staff and improve the overall experience throughout the entire guest journey – from the initial customer touch point through post-visit interactions.

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, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific and India with headquarters located in Alpharetta, GA.

12

We estimate our total addressable market to be approximately $5 billion in annual recurring revenue opportunity. While the size of the opportunity might face pressure in an economic downturn, we feel it remains in the billions of dollars while our business represents only a fraction of that size. We believe we are well positioned 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, 2024, we employed approximately 1,900 employees, with approximately 70%, 26%, 2%, and 1% of our employees located in India, North America, Asia-Pacific, 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. Agilysys’ key human capital management objectives are to attract, retain and develop talent to deliver on our strategy. Accordingly, we seek employees who share a passion for technology and its ability to improve our customers’ businesses in hospitality in accordance with our mission statement: helping our customers improve employee and guest experiences, with dedication to past, present and future customer investments in our products and services.

We believe that our culture is essential to maintaining high quality services and solutions. Our culture impacts the quality of the employees we hire, the way we develop and maintain solutions, and the way we communicate and interact with our customers and each other. Our culture is the cornerstone representing our values, our behaviors, our way of working and how we approach our business. To reinforce our culture, we operate according to the Agilysys Code of Business Conduct, available on our website http://www.agilysys.com, which mandates full compliance with applicable laws and regulations and helps to preserve the integrity of our Company.

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. For example, we recently launched an employee stock purchase plan to allow employees to share in the success of the company.

Our employee town halls, conducted several times annually, play a vital role in fostering transparency, engagement, alignment, and a sense of community. These town halls provide a platform to recognize and celebrate employee achievements, milestones, and contributions, and provide an opportunity for employees to ask questions of leadership.

As recognition for our commitment to our employees, we were awarded a LinkedIn Top Company 2024 Award for midsize employers.

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 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.

Intellectual Property

13

We rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright, and trademark laws, a variety of contractual arrangements, such as license agreements, assignment agreements, confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements, and confidentiality procedures and technical measures to gain rights to and protect the intellectual property used in our business.

We do not believe that our business is dependent on any single item of intellectual property, or that any single item of intellectual property is material to the operation of our business. However, since we consider trademarks to be a valuable asset of our business, we have an ongoing trademark and service mark registration program pursuant to which we register our brand names and product names, taglines, and logos in the United States and other countries to the extent we determine registration to be appropriate and cost effective.

We intend to pursue additional intellectual property protection to the extent we believe it would be beneficial and cost effective. Despite our efforts to protect our intellectual property rights, they may not be respected in the future or may be invalidated, circumvented, or challenged. See the sections titled “Risk Factors,” including the section titled “Risk Factors — We may not be able to enforce or protect our intellectual property rights” for a description of the risks related to our intellectual property.

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 who sell and deliver bundled POS and PMS solutions comprised of software, hardware, subscription, maintenance, and professional services. These companies, some of which are much larger than we are, include Oracle Corp., Shiji, Amadeus IT Group and Infor. We also compete with smaller software companies who provide either POS or PMS solutions 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. For information about governmental regulations applicable to our business, refer to Item 1A Risk Factors included elsewhere in this Annual Report.

Item 1A. R isk Factors.

Risks Relating to Our Business

Markets, Competition, and Operations

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

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, natural disasters, or disease outbreaks 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.

Our business is negatively 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. 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 due to a pandemic or other wide-ranging and sustained events.

14

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.

Our future success will depend on our ability to develop new solutions, 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.

Our product development activities also could be impacted by competition from products with new features or leveraging new technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), that render our existing products less competitive or obsolete. We may not respond effectively to the technological requirements of the changing market. If we need new technologies or if we are not able to develop new products or product upgrades acceptable to customers to remain competitive, the development, acquisition, and implementation of those new products, product upgrades or technologies may require us to make significant capital 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 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 strategic initiatives, to properly manage investments in our business, and to enhance our existing operations and infrastructure.

Our long-term strategy is focused on continually investing in and growing our business and operations, both organically and through acquisitions.

Investments in new markets, solutions, and technologies, research and development, infrastructure and systems, geographic expansion, and talent are critical components for realizing our strategy. In particular, we believe we must continue to dedicate a significant

15

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.

Such investments 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 short-term profitability. To succeed in such efforts, we must be able to properly deploy financial 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 suppliers 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.

If we cannot retain and recruit qualified personnel due to rising labor costs or other reasons, our ability to operate and grow our business may be impaired and our financial performance 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, particularly in growth areas we have identified. Employee retention is an industry challenge especially given the competitive labor market for software developers. As we grow, we must also enhance and expand our workforce to execute on new and larger opportunities. The market for qualified personnel is competitive in the geographies in which we operate and may be limited in the software development disciplines we seek to expand. 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. If we are unable to attract and retain qualified personnel when and where they are needed, 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 revenue growth, our profitability may be adversely affected.

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, Dubai, 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, rules and regulations; 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; foreign currency fluctuations; inflation and any regulatory actions to counter inflation; and political and economic instability abroad.

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

16

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. While we maintain crisis management and disaster response plans, 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.

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

Our products and services may not function properly if we experience significant coding or configuration errors.

Despite testing prior to the release and throughout the lifecycle of a product or service, our on-premise and cloud-based solutions sometimes contain coding or configuration errors that can impact their function, performance and security, and result in other negative consequences. The detection and correction of any errors in released on-premise or cloud-based solutions can be time consuming and costly. Errors in our on-premise and cloud-based solutions could affect their ability to properly function, integrate or operate with other software or hardware offerings, could result in service interruptions, delays or outages, could create security vulnerabilities in our products or services, could delay the development or release of new products or services or new versions of products or services, and could adversely affect market acceptance of our products or services. This includes third-party software products or services incorporated into our own. If we experience any of these errors, or if there are delays in releasing our on-premise or cloud-based solutions or new versions of these offerings, our sales could be affected and revenues could decline. Customers rely on our on-premise and cloud-based solutions and related services to run their businesses, and errors in our solutions and related services could expose us to product liability, performance and warranty claims as well as significant harm to our brand and reputation, which could impact our future sales.

Implementation of software solutions often involves a significant commitment of resources, and any failure to deliver as promised on a significant implementation could adversely affect our business.

The implementation of software solutions often involves a significant commitment of resources and is subject to a number of significant risks over which we may or may not have control. These risks include:

•
the features of the implemented software may not meet the expectations or fit the business model of the customer;
•
our pool of implementation personnel cannot quickly and easily be augmented for complex implementation projects, such that resources issues, if not planned and managed effectively, could lead to costly project delays;
•
customer-specific factors, such as the stability, functionality, interconnection and scalability of the customer’s pre-existing information technology infrastructure, as well as financial or other circumstances could destabilize, delay or prevent the completion of the implementation process; and
•
customers and their partners may not fully or timely perform the actions required to be performed by them to ensure successful implementation, including measures we recommend to safeguard against technical and business risks.

As a result of these and other risks, some of our customers may incur large, unplanned costs in connection with the purchase and installation of our solutions. Also, implementation projects could take longer than planned or fail. We may not be able to reduce or eliminate protracted installation or significant additional costs. Significant delays or unsuccessful customer implementation projects could result in cancellation or renegotiation of existing agreements, claims from customers, harm our reputation and negatively impact our operating results.

We use open-source software in our solutions that may subject our solutions to general release or require us to re-engineer our solutions.

We use open-source software in our solutions and may use more open-source software in the future. From time to time, there have been claims by companies claiming ownership of software that was previously thought to be open-source and that was incorporated by other companies into their products. As a result, we could be subject to suits by parties claiming ownership of what we believe to be open-source software.

Some open-source licenses contain requirements that we make available source code for modifications or derivative works we create based upon the open-source software and that we license these modifications or derivative works under the terms of a particular open-source license or other license granting third parties certain rights of further use. If we combine or, in some cases, link our proprietary software solutions with or to open-source software in a certain manner, we could, under certain of the open-source licenses, be required to release the source code of our proprietary software solutions or license such proprietary solutions under the terms of a particular open-source license or other license granting third parties certain rights of further use.

17

In addition to risks related to license requirements, usage of open-source software can lead to greater risks than use of third-party commercial software, as open-source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on origin of the software. In addition, open-source license terms may be ambiguous and many of the risks associated with usage of open-source cannot be eliminated, and could, if not properly addressed, negatively affect our business. If we were found to have inappropriately used open-source software, we may be required to seek licenses from third parties in order to continue offering our software, to re-engineer our solutions, to discontinue the sale of our solutions in the event re-engineering cannot be accomplished on a timely basis or take other remedial action that may divert resources away from our development efforts, any of which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.

We are subject to complex, evolving regulatory requirements that may be difficult and expensive to comply with and that could negatively impact us or our business.

Our business and operations are subject to a variety of regulatory requirements in the countries in which we operate or in which we offer our solutions, including, among other things, with respect to data privacy, artificial intelligence (“AI”), information security, trade compliance, tax, and labor matters.

In addition, as we are increasingly building and licensing from third party providers new and evolving technologies, such as AI, machine learning, analytics, and biometrics, as part of our offerings, our business and operations may become subject to additional complex and evolving regulatory requirements pertaining to the sale or use of these technologies. The evolving regulatory environment surrounding these new technologies may also increase our research and development costs, compliance costs, and confidentiality and security risks, and result in inconsistencies in evolving legal frameworks across jurisdictions. The sale of these technologies, or their use by us or by our customers or partners, may also subject us to additional risks, including reputational harm, competitive harm or legal liabilities, due to their perceived or actual impact on human rights, privacy, employment, or in other social or discriminatory contexts. Third-parties may criticize us or seek to hold us responsible not only for our own activities in this regard but also for the activities of our customers or partners.

We anticipate that we will become subject to an increasing amount of regulation and disclosure requirements related to environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) matters. In addition, stakeholders, including investors, customers, suppliers and employees, may pressure us to make commitments on these matters that may be difficult to manage or achieve. If we fail to make or meet such commitments, we may be subject to criticism, reputational harm or legal liability.

The application of these laws and regulations to our business is often unclear and may at times conflict. Compliance with applicable regulatory requirements may be onerous, time-consuming, and expensive, especially where these requirements are inconsistent from jurisdiction to jurisdiction or where the jurisdictional reach of certain requirements is not clearly defined or seeks to reach across national borders. Regulatory requirements in one jurisdiction may make it difficult or impossible to do business in or comply with the rules of another jurisdiction.

While we endeavor to implement policies, procedures, and systems designed to achieve compliance with these regulatory requirements, we cannot assure you that these policies, procedures, or systems will be adequate or that we or our personnel will not violate these policies and procedures or applicable laws and regulations. Violations of these laws or regulations may harm our reputation and deter government agencies and other existing or potential customers or partners from purchasing our solutions. Furthermore, non-compliance with applicable laws or regulations could result in fines, damages, criminal sanctions against us, our officers, or our employees, restrictions on the conduct of our business, and damage to our reputation.

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 rely on information technology networks and systems, some of which are owned and operated by third parties, to collect, process, transmit, and store electronic information on behalf of our customers. We also depend on our information technology infrastructure for a variety of functions, including worldwide financial reporting, procurement, invoicing, and email communications. These systems are susceptible to outages due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, hacking, terrorist attacks, and similar events.

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,

18

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.

In addition, threat actors are also increasingly using tools and techniques that circumvent controls, evade detection, and remove forensic evidence, which means that we and others may be unable to anticipate, detect, deflect, contain or recover from cyberattacks in a timely or effective manner. As AI capabilities improve and are increasingly adopted, we may see cyberattacks created through AI. These attacks could be crafted with an AI tool to directly attack IT systems with increased speed and/or efficiency than a human threat actor or create more effective phishing emails. Our network and storage applications, as well as those of our customers, business partners, and third-party providers, may be subject to unauthorized access by hackers or breached due to operator error, malfeasance or other system disruptions.

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.

For example, we use Progress Software’s MOVEit Transfer application to enable file transfers with some of our customers. On May 31, 2023, Progress Software disclosed that it had identified a previously unknown vulnerability in its MOVEit Transfer application. We immediately followed the recommendations from Progress Software to address the vulnerabilities in the MOVEit Transfer application. However, we identified unauthorized file downloads from our MOVEit Transfer application impacting about 130 customers who used our InfoGenesis POS, Eatec and Agilysys Analyze products. All impacted customers were notified in June 2023, and the incident has not had a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, or results of operation.

Cyberattacks on our systems and “supply-chain” attacks on systems of third parties upon whom we rely, 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.

Privacy, information security, and data protection laws, rules, and regulations could affect or limit how we collect and use personal information, increase our costs, and adversely affect our business opportunities. 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 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.

In addition, many U.S. and foreign laws and regulations, including those promulgated by the SEC, require companies to provide notice of cybersecurity incidents involving certain types of personal data or unauthorized access to, or interference with, our information systems to the public, certain individuals, the media, government authorities, or other third parties. Certain of these laws and regulations include notice or disclosure obligations contingent upon the result of complex analyses, including in some cases a determination of materiality. The nature of cybersecurity incidents can make it difficult to quickly and comprehensively assess an incident's overall impact to our business, and we may make errors in our assessments. If we are unable to appropriately assess a cybersecurity incident in the context of required analyses then we could face compliance issues under these laws and regulations, and we could be subject to lawsuits, regulatory fines or investigations, or other liabilities, any or all of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Furthermore, cybersecurity incidents experienced by us, or by our customers or vendors, that lead to public disclosures may also lead to widespread negative publicity and increased government or regulatory scrutiny. Any security compromise in our industry, whether actual or perceived, could harm our reputation; erode customer confidence in our security measures; negatively affect our ability to attract new customers; or subject us to third-party lawsuits, regulatory fines or investigations, or other liability, any or all of which could adversely affect our business and operating results. Even the perception of inadequate security may damage our reputation and negatively impact our ability to win new customers and retain existing customers.

19

Additionally, we could be required to expend significant capital and other resources to investigate and address any actual or suspected cybersecurity incident or to prevent further or additional incidents. To maintain business relationships, we may find it necessary or desirable to incur costs to provide remediation and incentives to customers or other business partners following an actual or suspected security incident. We also cannot be sure that our existing cybersecurity insurance will continue to be available on acceptable terms, in sufficient amounts to cover any claims we submit, or at all. Further, we cannot be sure that insurers will not deny coverage as to any claim, and some security incidents may be outside the scope of our coverage, including in instances where they are considered force majeure events. Security incidents may result in increased costs for cybersecurity insurance. One or more large, successful claims against us in excess of our available insurance coverage, or changes in our insurance policies, including premium increases or large deductible or co-insurance requirements, could have an adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.

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

We have implemented policies and procedures, and use information technology systems, to help ensure the proper handling of our customers and their customers data from both a data privacy and an information security perspective. We also evaluate the information security of potential partners and vendors as part of our selection process and attempt to negotiate adequate protections from such third parties when we enter into contracts with them. Our customer contracts also obligate our customers to undertake steps necessary for satisfying individual rights under laws and regulations. While these policies, procedures, systems, contractual provisions, and measures are designed to mitigate the risks associated with handling or processing personal data, including categories of personal data which may be classed as sensitive data, they cannot always safeguard against all risks, nor can we control the actions of third parties, including vendors, customers and partners. In addition, it may be possible for customer and guest data to be compromised from customers’ information technology systems if our customer does not maintain appropriate data privacy and information security procedures.

The improper handling of personal data including sensitive data, or even the perception of such mishandling (whether or not valid), or other security lapses or breaches affecting us, our partners, our customers, or our products or services, could reduce demand for our products or services or otherwise expose us to financial or reputational harm or legal liability.

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 competitor, macroeconomic issues, 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.

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

20

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.

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 judgement was entered for us and against Ameranth on all claims in that suit in 2022, the litigation resulted in substantial expenses, even though it did not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

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 impacts of pandemics, could disproportionately impact our revenue, as customers may exit the industry or delay, cancel or reduce planned expenditures for our products.

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.

21

Insolvencies in the hospitality industry could adversely affect our business.

Customers that we serve may be or become insolvent. Loss of revenue and other operating challenges may cause some of our customers to declare bankruptcy or cause their 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

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

During the year ended March 31, 2024, the trading price of our common stock ranged from a low close of $63.77 to a high close of $91.40. 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 in 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;
•
any major change in our board or management; and
•
general economic and political conditions such as recessions, interest rates, fuel prices, international currency fluctuations and acts of war or terrorism.

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.

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.

Our financial results may be significantly impacted by changes in our tax position.

We are subject to taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our future effective tax rates could be impacted by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets (including our net operating loss carryforwards), changes in unrecognized tax benefits, or changes in tax laws or their interpretation. Any of these changes could have a material adverse effect on our profitability. In addition, the tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which we operate, including the United States, may from time to time review the pricing arrangements between us and our foreign subsidiaries or among our foreign subsidiaries. An adverse determination by one or more tax authorities in this regard may have a material adverse effect on our financial results.

We have significant deferred tax assets which can provide us with significant future cash tax savings if we are able to use them, including significant net operating losses. However, the extent to which we will be able to use these net operating losses may be impacted, restricted, or eliminated by a number of factors, including changes in tax rates, laws or regulations, and whether we generate sufficient future taxable income. To the extent that we are unable to utilize our net operating losses or other losses, our results of operations, liquidity, and financial condition could be materially adversely impacted. When we cease to have net operating losses available to us in a particular tax jurisdiction, either through their expiration, disallowance, or utilization, our cash tax liability will increase in that jurisdiction.

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that could negatively impact our financial results.

22

We earn revenue, pay expenses, own assets, and incur liabilities in countries using currencies other than the U.S. dollar, including the British pound sterling, euro, Indian rupee, Australian dollar, Singapore dollar, and Canadian dollar, among others. Because our consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars, we must translate revenue, expenses, assets, and liabilities of entities using non-U.S. dollar functional currencies into U.S. dollars using currency exchange rates in effect during or at the end of each reporting period, meaning that we are exposed to the impact of changes in currency exchange rates. In addition, the revaluation and settlement of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar impact our net income with associated gains or losses recorded within other income (expense), net.

We may have exposure to greater than anticipated tax liabilities.

Some of our products and services may be subject to sales taxes in jurisdictions where we have not collected and remitted such taxes from our customers. We believe we have appropriately accrued for these contingencies. In the event actual results differ, 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, 2024, we had $32.8 million of goodwill and $17.0 million of intangible assets, net, on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. We review our indefinite-lived intangible assets including goodwill for impairment on at least an annual basis or more frequently if an event or events indicate the potential for impairment. We assess as needed whether there have been impairments in our other intangible assets. We make assumptions and estimates in our assessments that can be complex and subjective. In our assumptions and estimates we consider whether negative factors exist such as deteriorating economic conditions, disruptions to our business, inability to effectively integrate acquired businesses, intensified competition, market capitalization declines, or significant changes in use of the intangible assets. To the extent that such factors or other negative factors emerge, we may record non-cash impairment charges in the future that could negatively impact our financial condition and results of operations.

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.

Other Risk Factors

Provisions of our corporate governance documents and Delaware Law could make an acquisition of the company more difficult and may prevent attempts by our stockholders to replace or remove our current management, even if beneficial to our stockholders.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), contain provisions that could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so might be beneficial to our stockholders. These provisions include:

•
advance notice requirements for stockholder proposals and director nominations;
•
the ability of our board of directors to fill a vacancy created by the expansion of our board of directors;
•
the ability of our board of directors to issue up to 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, in one or more series, without stockholder approval and with such designations, powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions as our board of directors may deem appropriate;
•
prohibition on the ability of stockholders to call special meetings; and
•
the required approval of holders of at least two-thirds of the voting power of our issued and outstanding capital stock entitled to vote in the election of directors to adopt, amend or repeal certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, though our bylaws can also be amended by vote of our board of directors.

In addition, Section 203 of the DGCL may affect the ability of an “interested stockholder” to engage in certain business combinations, for a period of three years following the time that the stockholder becomes an “interested stockholder.”

Because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team, these provisions could in turn affect any attempt to replace current members of our management team. As a result, you may lose your ability to sell your stock for a price in excess of the prevailing market price due to these protective measures, and efforts by stockholders to change the direction or management of the company may be unsuccessful.

23

Accounting principle updates could have a negative impact on our financial condition or operating results.

We prepare our Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Our application of new accounting principles can have a significant impact on our operating results including previously reported results subject to any retroactive treatment. In addition, new accounting principles may require significant changes to certain aspects of our business including how we operate and contract with our customers and suppliers. In order to manage such changes, we may incur significant costs to implement and maintain potentially extensive updates to our accounting systems and internal control over financial reporting that could negatively impact our financial condition and the results of our operations. Furthermore, difficulties or delays in applying new accounting principles could result in a failure to meet our financial reporting obligations.

If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may be unable to prevent or detect fraud or internal control deficiencies including material weaknesses, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.

We design and operate our internal control over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance about the reliability of financial reporting including the preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP. Because of its inherent limitations, our system of internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect every misstatement. Accordingly, although the Company’s management has concluded that our internal controls are effective as of March 31, 2024, we cannot provide absolute assurance that the objectives of our controls system are met. No evaluation of internal controls can provide absolute assurance that control matters and instances of fraud, if any, within our Company have been detected.

Item 1B. Unresolv ed Staff Comments.

None.

Item 1C. Cybersecurity.

We have an enterprise-wide information security program designed to identify, protect, detect and respond to and manage reasonably foreseeable cybersecurity risks and threats. To protect our information systems from cybersecurity threats, we use various security tools and third-party managed security services that help prevent, identify, escalate, investigate, resolve and recover from identified vulnerabilities and security incidents in a timely manner. These include, but are not limited to, internal reporting, monitoring and detection tools. We also evaluate the information security of potential partners and vendors as part of our selection process and attempt to negotiate adequate protections from such third parties when we enter into contracts with them. Although our security program is designed to identify, prioritize, assess, mitigate and remediate third party risks,, we rely on our partners and vendors to implement security programs commensurate with their risk, and we cannot ensure in all circumstances that their efforts will be successful.

We regularly assess risks from cybersecurity and technology threats and monitor our information systems for potential vulnerabilities. We use a widely-adopted risk quantification model to identify, measure and prioritize cybersecurity and technology risks and develop related security controls and safeguards. We conduct regular reviews and tests of our information security program and also leverage tabletop exercises, penetration and vulnerability testing, and third-party red team exercises to evaluate the effectiveness of our information security program and improve our security measures and planning. We also engage an external auditor to conduct annual Security and Organizational Controls 2 (SOC 2) examination of the security controls for systems storing customer data. The external auditor also conducts an annual payment card industry (PCI) data security standard review of our security controls protecting payment information, as well as third-party penetration testing of our cardholder environment and related systems.

Our systems periodically experience directed attacks intended to lead to interruptions and delays in our service and operations as well as loss, misuse or theft of personal information (of third parties, employees, and our customers) and other data, confidential information or intellectual property, and we have experienced an unauthorized release of certain data. However, to date no cybersecurity incidents have had a material impact on our business, financial condition or results of operations, and we are not presently aware of any cybersecurity threats that are reasonably likely to materially affect us. Any significant disruption to our service or access to our systems could result in a loss of customer data and adversely affect our business and results of operation. Further, a penetration of our systems or a third-party’s systems or other misappropriation or misuse of personal information could subject us to business, regulatory, litigation and reputation risk, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. See "Risk Factors — 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.”

The Vice President and Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) leads the global information security organization responsible for overseeing our information security program. Our CISO has over 25 years of industry experience, including serving in similar roles

24

leading and overseeing cybersecurity programs at other public companies, and is a Certified Information Security Professional and Information Systems Security Architecture Professional. Team members who support our information security program have relevant educational and industry experience, including holding similar positions at large technology companies. Given the nature of our business, management is highly focused on identifying and managing cybersecurity risks, and our CISO and information security teams provide regular reports to senior management and other relevant teams on various cybersecurity threats, assessments and findings.

The Board has primary responsibility for oversight of the Company’s cybersecurity risks. The Audit Committee is also responsible for reviewing the Company’s information and cybersecurity risks and the steps that management has taken to protect against threats to the Company’s information systems and security, including results of periodic security assessments performed in conjunction with ongoing monitoring. The Audit Committee has formed a Cybersecurity Risk Subcommittee consisting of two independent directors to assist the Audit Committee in its oversight of cybersecurity risks. By its charter, all members of the Cybersecurity Risk Subcommittee must have a background or experience in information technology or cybersecurity and an understanding of cyber threats, risk mitigation and policy.

The results of our SOC2 and PCI assessments are reported to the Cybersecurity Risk Subcommittee. Both the Subcommittee and the Board receive regular reports from our CISO on various cybersecurity matters, including risk assessments, mitigation strategies, areas of emerging risks, incidents and industry trends, and other areas of importance. The Board also oversees our annual enterprise risk assessment, where we assess key risks within the company, including security and technology risks and cybersecurity threats.

Item 2. P roperties.

Our corporate headquarters are located in Alpharetta, Georgia where we lease approximately 22,000 square feet of office space. In addition, we lease approximately 36,000 square feet of office space in Las Vegas, Nevada, 8,000 square feet of office space in Bellevue, Washington, 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 182,000 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 our office space facilities are sufficient to meet our current 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. On May 11, 2022, final judgement was entered for us and against Ameranth on all claims in that suit. In March 2024, we settled all remaining issues with Ameranth, although the case remains open pending court approval of the settlement agreement.

Item 4. Mine Safe ty Disclosures.

Not applicable.

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

Macroeconomic Conditions

During the year ended March 31, 2024, global macroeconomic conditions were, and continue to be, influenced by a number of factors, including, but not limited to, political unrest, armed conflicts, labor shortages and natural disasters. We believe such conditions are impacting customer spending and provider pricing decisions resulting in decreased demand, increased costs, and reduced margins particularly in areas outside of the United States.

Our Business

Agilysys has been a leader in hospitality software for more than 45 years, delivering innovative state-of-the-art cloud-native SaaS and on-premise guest-centric technology solutions. Customers around the world include: branded and independent hotels; multi-amenity resort properties; casinos; property, hotel and resort management companies; cruise lines; corporate dining providers; higher education campus dining providers; food service management companies; hospitals; lifestyle communities; senior living facilities; stadiums; and theme parks. 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. 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, the Middle East, 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:

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

29

•
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, subscription and maintenance 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.
•
Subscription and maintenance revenue – Revenue earned from the ongoing delivery of software updates, upgrades, bug fixes, technical support, and transaction-based fees over the period covered by subscription or maintenance agreements with our customers for both proprietary and remarketed solutions.
•
Professional services revenue – Revenue earned from the delivery of implementation, integration, development and installation services for proprietary and remarketed products.

Effective tax rate |  | nm |  |  |  | 7.5 | % |  |  |  |  |

nm – not meaningful

For fiscal 2024, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the release of valuation allowances recorded against U.S. Federal and certain State deferred tax assets, consisting primarily of Net Operating Losses.

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 that we cannot anticipate.

The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on various factors including the generation of taxable income during the future periods in which the underlying temporary differences are deductible. As of March 31, 2024, we had $78.5 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2033 to 2039, and $42.5 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had $111.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2025 through 2043. We maintain valuation allowances for deferred tax assets until we have sufficient

33

evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowances. Based on recent earnings and anticipated future earnings, we released a significant portion of the valuation allowances previously maintained against our deferred tax assets.

Net revenue. Total revenue increased $35.4 million, or 21.8%, in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. Products revenue increased $7.7 million, or 21.4%, due to higher sales and deliveries to new customers and expansion with existing customers. Subscription and maintenance revenue increased $19.3 million, or 19.5%, driven by continued growth in subscription-based revenue, which increased 27.5% in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022. Professional services revenue increased $8.4 million, or 30.4%, due to higher sales and service activity as our new and existing customers continue implementing technology to improve their operations.

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit increased $19.3 million, or 19.0%, in fiscal 2023 and total gross profit margin decreased from 62.4% to 61.0%. Products gross profit increased $3.9 million and gross profit margin increased from 46.5% to 47.3% due to a higher proportion of proprietary software revenue over third-party products. Subscription and maintenance gross profit increased $14.2 million and gross profit margin decreased from 78.6% to 77.8% as certain variable costs increased ahead of related revenue. Professional services gross profit increased $1.1 million and gross profit margin decreased from 25.3% to 22.6% reflecting lower utilization rates due to higher non-billable hours on new, more complex solution implementations over the comparable annual periods.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses, excluding the charges for legal settlements and other charges, increased $14.5 million, or 15.6%, in fiscal 2023 compared with fiscal 2022. As a percent of total revenue, operating expenses have decreased 2.9% in fiscal 2023 compared with fiscal 2022.

Product development. Product development includes all expenses associated with research and development. Product development increased $3.9 million, or 8.5%, during fiscal 2023 as compared to fiscal 2022 due to hiring and higher salary and incentive rates across our development teams, increased travel, and higher subscription charges for cloud computing arrangements.

35

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing increased $8.0 million, or 54.2%, in fiscal 2023 compared with fiscal 2022 due to various sales and marketing investments including several key hires, significantly higher levels of marketing event and trade show activity and increased commission expense on higher sales levels.

General and administrative. General and administrative increased $2.9 million, or 10.6%, in fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 due to investments in our information security and information technology infrastructure along with hiring and increased salary and incentive rates across our administrative teams, higher rent, increased travel, and higher subscription charges for cloud computing arrangements.

Depreciation of fixed assets. Depreciation of fixed assets decreased $0.4 million or 20.0% in fiscal 2023 as compared to fiscal 2022 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 increased $0.1 million or 5.4% in fiscal 2023 as compared to fiscal 2022 due to the addition of certain intangible assets that began amortizing in January 2022 subsequent to the acquisition of ResortSuite Inc. (ResortSuite) as described in Note 15, Business Combination, to our Consolidated Financial Statements under Item 8 of this Annual Report.

Other charges, net. Other charges, net decreased $1.1 million due to a significant reduction in non-recurring charges including ResortSuite acquisition costs during fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022.

Legal settlements. Legal settlements decreased $0.6 million during fiscal 2023 compared to fiscal 2022 due to a decrease in settlements of employment and other business-related matters.

nm – not meaningful

For fiscal 2023, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to adjustments to deferred tax assets including decreases in valuation allowances that reduce deferred tax assets.

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 that we cannot anticipate. Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements remain uncertain, we expect that, as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations, a reduction in unrecognized tax benefits including related penalties and interest is more likely than not to occur during the next 12 months.

36

Because of our losses in prior periods, we have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of the Company's deferred tax assets. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on various factors including the generation of taxable income during the future periods in which the underlying temporary differences are deductible. As of March 31, 2023, we had $132.0 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2033 to 2039, and $43.8 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward indefinitely. We also had $133.9 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2024 through 2042. We maintain valuation allowances for deferred tax assets until we have sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowances. Based on recent earnings and anticipated future earnings, we believe it is reasonably possible that within the next 12 months we will have sufficient positive evidence to conclude that a significant portion of our valuation allowances will no longer be needed. Releasing the valuation allowances would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and significant income tax benefits.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

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

At March 31, 2024, 100% of our cash and cash equivalents, of which 95% were held in the United States, were deposited in bank accounts or invested in highly liquid investments including commercial paper and treasury bills with original maturity from the date of acquisition of three months or less and money market funds. Certain bank account balances may exceed federally insured limits. We determine the fair value of commercial paper using significant other observable inputs 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. We believe credit risk is limited with respect to our cash and cash equivalents.

We believe that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand of $144.9 million as of March 31, 2024, and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet our liquidity requirements for at least the next twelve months, as well as our long-term liquidity requirements.

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

38

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 proprietary 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.

We recognize revenue for hardware sales 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 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.

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. Our subscription service revenue is primarily based on rates per location, including rates per points of sale and per room. We recognize certain subscription service revenue on a per-transaction basis. 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, any hosting services, and any transaction-based 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.

We derive maintenance service revenue from providing unspecified updates, upgrades, bug fixes, and technical support services for our proprietary software. 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 maintenance services as a single performance obligation. Maintenance revenue includes the same services provided by third-parties for remarketed software. We recognize substantially all maintenance revenue over the contract period of the maintenance agreement. We also recognize certain maintenance service revenue based on the volume of payment transactions processed by third parties through access to our software.

Professional services revenues primarily consist of fees for consulting, implementation, 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. Certain professional development services are recognized upon delivery of the developed solutions to the customer. 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.

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.

39

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, restricted shares, restricted stock units 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, restricted stock units, performance shares, and employee stock purchase plan 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 and restricted stock unit 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 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 employee stock purchase plan grants, 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 and assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, expected term, and expected volatility of our common shares over the offering period based on historical volatility. For restricted share, restricted stock unit 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, performance period term 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 included under Item 8 of this Annual Report.

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 accounting pronouncements.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitat ive 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 2024, 2023 and 2022, revenue from international operations was 6%, 7% and 7%, 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 2024, 2023 and 2022 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 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, 2024, 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, 2024, 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, 2024, and our report dated May 21, 2024 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.

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.

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.

Cash and cash equivalents. 100% of our cash and cash equivalents, of which 95% were held in the United States, were deposited in bank accounts or invested in highly liquid investments. Certain bank account balances may exceed federally insured limits. 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 same or 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. Commercial paper cash equivalents totaled $10.0 million and $5.0 million as of March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively. 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.

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 certain 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

49

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. 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, 2024 and 2023, the carrying amount of goodwill was $32.8 million and $32.6 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. 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. The Company concluded that no impairment of its goodwill and other indefinite-lived assets has occurred for the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

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. 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 loss” within shareholders’ equity in

50

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 (proprietary software licenses, third party hardware and operating systems), subscription and maintenance, and professional services. For the fiscal years 2024, 2023 and 2022, revenue from international operations was 6%, 7% and 7%, 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 proprietary 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.

We recognize revenue for hardware sales 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.

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. Our subscription service revenue is primarily based on rates per location, including rates per points of sale and per room. We recognize certain subscription service revenue on a per-transaction basis. 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, any hosting services, and any transaction-based 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.

We derive maintenance service revenue from providing unspecified updates, upgrades, bug fixes, and technical support services for our proprietary software. 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 maintenance services as a single performance obligation. Maintenance revenue includes the same services provided by third-parties for remarketed software. We recognize substantially all maintenance revenue over the contract period of the maintenance agreement. We also recognize certain maintenance service revenue based on the volume of payment transactions processed by third parties through access to our software.

Professional services revenues primarily consist of fees for consulting, implementation, 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. Certain professional development services are recognized upon delivery of the developed solutions to the customer. 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

51

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

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 $6.7 million, $4.8 million and $2.6 million in fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-09 Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”) to update income tax disclosure requirements primarily by requiring specific categories and greater disaggregation within the rate reconciliation and disaggregation of income taxes

52

paid by jurisdiction. The amendments in the ASU also remove disclosures related to certain unrecognized tax benefits and deferred taxes. ASU 2023-09 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, or our fiscal 2026. The amendments may be applied prospectively or retrospectively with early adoption permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-07 Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures (“ASU 2023-07”) to expand reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in the ASU require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to an entity's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), a description of other segment items by reportable segment, and any additional measures of a segment's profit or loss used by the CODM when deciding how to allocate resources. ASU 2023-07 applies to entities with a single reportable segment. Annual disclosures are required for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, or our fiscal 2025. Interim disclosures are required for periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, or our fiscal 2026. Retrospective application is required for all prior periods presented with early adoption is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

We derive and report our revenue from the sale of products (proprietary software licenses, third party hardware and operating systems), subscription and maintenance, and professional services. Revenue recognized at a point in time (products) totaled $49.1 million, $43.6 million, and $36.0 million during fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022. Subscription, maintenance, and substantially all professional services revenue recognized over time totaled $188.4 million, $154.4 million, and $126.7 million during fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022.

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 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 $50.9 million and $45.3 million during fiscal 2024 and 2023. During fiscal 2024 and 2023, we transferred from contract assets at the beginning of the period, $2.2 million and $1.7 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, 2024 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 $4.8 million and $3.9 million of capitalized sales incentive costs as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These balances are included in other non-current assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. During fiscal 2024 and 2023, we expensed $3.9 million and $3.6 million, respectively, of sales commissions, which included amortization of capitalized amounts of $1.6 million and $1.3

53

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.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, goodwill increased $0.2 million due to foreign currency translation. During the year ended March 31, 2023, goodwill increased $0.8 million due to business combination activity and decreased $0.9 million due to foreign currency translation.

During the year ended March 31, 2024, finite-lived intangible assets decreased $1.2 million due to amortization expense. During the year ended March 31, 2023, finite-lived intangible assets decreased $1.3 million due to amortization expense and decreased $0.8 million due to foreign currency translation.

See Note 15, Business Combination, for more information on business combination activity.

Estimated future amortization expense on finite-lived intangible assets is as follows:

Indefinite-lived intangible assets, comprised of our purchased trade name InfoGenesis as of March 31, 2024 and 2023 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, 2024, 2023 and 2022.

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.

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 are based on an index or rate. As a result, we do not include variable payments in the calculation of the lease liability. Any variable costs are expensed as incurred.

We subleased one of our office leases located in Bellevue, Washington with a lease term that expired during fiscal year 2024.

The components of lease expenses, which are included in operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations, were as follows:

The fiscal 2024 tax provision results primarily from the release of the valuation allowances against U.S. Federal and State deferred tax assets. The fiscal 2024 tax provision differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the release of the valuation allowances.

The fiscal 2023 tax provision results primarily from foreign tax expense and minimal expense from the U.S. The fiscal 2023 tax provision differs from the statutory rate primarily due to adjustments to deferred tax assets; offset by current year expense in foreign jurisdictions.

Total deferred tax assets, net |  | $ | 66,818 |  |  | $ | 534 |

At March 31, 2024, we had $78.5 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2033 to 2039, and $42.5 million of federal net operating loss carryforwards that can be carried forward indefinitely. Our Hong Kong, Canada, Singapore and the U.A.E. subsidiaries have $0.7 million, $0.1 million, $0.7 million and $0.1 million of net operating loss carryforwards, respectively. The losses for Hong Kong, Singapore and the U.A.E. can be carried forward indefinitely. Canada losses can be carried back three years and carried forward 20 years. 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 included 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 $3.9 million as of March 31, 2024. The Company has paid minimum alternative taxes during the period of regular tax relief resulting in a credit of $1.8 million as of March 31, 2024.

At March 31, 2024 we also had $111.8 million of state net operating loss carryforwards that expire, if unused, in fiscal years 2025 through 2043.

We have recorded valuation allowances offsetting certain deferred income tax assets due to the uncertainty of the ultimate realization of the future benefits from those assets. At March 31, 2024, the total valuation allowance against deferred tax assets of $2.9 million was comprised of $1.5 million for U.S. state deferred tax assets, and $1.4 million associated with deferred tax assets in Hong Kong, Singapore, and the U.A.E. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on various factors including the generation of taxable income during the future periods in which the underlying temporary differences are deductible. We consider the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities (including the impact of available carryback and carryforward periods), projected earnings, and tax planning strategies in our assessment of positive and negative evidence supporting the likelihood of deferred tax asset realization. We maintain valuation allowances for deferred tax assets until we have sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of the allowances.

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 $30.1 million and $22.2 million as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, 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 expansion. The determination of the amount of the unrecognized deferred U.S. income tax liability related to the undistributed earnings is not practicable.

Uncertain tax positions as of March 31, are as follows:

(In thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Beginning gross unrecognized tax benefits |  | $ | 575 |  |  | $ | 575 |  |  | $ | 575 |

Ending gross unrecognized tax benefits |  | $ | 562 |  |  | $ | 575 |  |  | $ | 575 |

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. For the year ended March 31, 2024, we reduced accrued interest and penalty by $0.6 million. We recognized interest and penalty expense of less than $0.1 million for the years ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. As of March 31, 2024, no interest or penalties were accrued. As of March 31, 2023, we had approximately $0.6 million of interest and penalties accrued in other non-current liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 that we cannot anticipate.

In the U.S. we file 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 2011 forward due to attribute carryforwards. The statute of limitations is open from fiscal year 2019 forward in certain state jurisdictions. We also file income tax returns in international jurisdictions where statutes of limitations generally range from three to seven years. Years beginning after 2017 are open for examination by certain foreign taxing authorities.

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 $1.9 million, $1.7 million, and $1.4 million in fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022, 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 certain defined benefit plans 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 Leave Encashment Plan provides a lump-sum payment to employees when they leave the Company based on a multiple of their final monthly salary. Both the Gratuity and Leave Encashment Plans are unfunded with obligation amounts determined by actuarial valuations. These obligation amounts are recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as “Employee benefit obligations” within “Other non-current liabilities”. All expenses associated with these plans are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Operations within “Operating expenses”.

Employer benefit obligations as of and related changes for the years ended March 31 are as follows:

(In thousands) |  |  | 2024 |  |  |  | 2023 |  |  |  | 2022 |
Employee benefit obligations as of April 1 |  | $ | 2,742 |  |  | $ | 2,470 |  |  | $ | 1,728 |

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, 2024 and 2023, 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 (expense) income, net” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations and are immaterial.

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.

12. Earnings per Share

The following data shows the amounts used in computing earnings per share and the effect on earnings and the weighted average number of shares of dilutive potential common shares.

| Year Ended March 31, |
(In thousands, except per share data) | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Numerator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Net income | $ | 86,195 |  |  | $ | 14,582 |  |  | $ | 6,478 |
Series A convertible preferred stock dividends |  | (1,204 | ) |  |  | (1,836 | ) |  |  | (1,836 | )
Net income attributable to common shareholders | $ | 84,991 |  |  | $ | 12,746 |  |  | $ | 4,642 |
Denominator: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Weighted average shares outstanding - basic |  | 25,668 |  |  |  | 24,694 |  |  |  | 24,357 |
Dilutive SSARs |  | 929 |  |  |  | 1,059 |  |  |  | 1,063 |
Dilutive RSUs |  | 10 |  |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Dilutive unvested restricted shares |  | 234 |  |  |  | 176 |  |  |  | 63 |
Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted |  | 26,842 |  |  |  | 25,929 |  |  |  | 25,483 |
Income per share - basic: | $ | 3.31 |  |  | $ | 0.52 |  |  | $ | 0.19 |
Income per share - diluted: | $ | 3.17 |  |  | $ | 0.49 |  |  | $ | 0.18 |
Anti-dilutive SSARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, ESPP shares, performance shares, and preferred shares |  | 175 |  |  |  | 1,741 |  |  |  | 1,736 |

Basic income 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 436,177, 407,324 and 147,973 of restricted shares at March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, 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 per share includes the effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. We have stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs), unvested restricted shares, restricted stock units, employee stock purchase plan (ESPP) shares, and performance 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, restricted stock units, 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 stock units that may be granted under the 2020 Plan is 3.1 million. We may also grant shares under our shareholder-approved Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP) for up to 500,000 common shares.

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

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 and restricted stock units, 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, restricted stock units, performance shares, and ESPP 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 stock unit and 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. We use the simplified method for SSAR grants because we believe historical exercise data does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. For restricted stock unit, 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, performance period term 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 stock units, restricted shares, and SSAR grants subject to a service condition using the graded vesting method. We record compensation expense for ESPP shares on a straight-line basis over the applicable offering period. 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 shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, and ESPP shares included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022:

|  | Year Ended March 31, |
(In thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |

General and administrative |  |  | 5,900 |  |  |  | 3,927 |  |  |  | 5,008 |
Total share-based compensation expense |  | $ | 14,111 |  |  | $ | 12,958 |  |  | $ | 14,549 |

Stock-Settled Stock Appreciation Rights

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.

61

We use a Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model to estimate the fair value of service condition SSARs and a lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of market condition SSARs. There were no SSARs granted in fiscal 2024, 2023 or 2022.

The following table summarizes the activity during fiscal 2024 for SSARs awarded under the 2020 and 2016 Plans:

(In thousands, except share and per share data) |  | Number of Rights |  |  | Weighted- Average Exercise Price |  |  | Remaining Contractual Term |  |  | Aggregate Intrinsic Value |

Total fair value of SSARs vesting |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 13,037 |  |  | $ | 6,439 |

As of March 31, 2024, there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to SSARs.

A total of 211,024 shares, net of 63,817 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, 2024. 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 restricted shares subject to a market condition granted in fiscal 2024 or 2023. The following table summarizes the principal valuation assumptions utilized and the resulting fair value of restricted shares subject to a market condition granted in fiscal 2022:

|  | 2022
Risk-free interest rate over contractual term |  | 0.5% - 0.9%
Expected volatility |  | 54.0% - 56.0%
Weighted-average grant date fair value |  | $24.77 - $39.12

62

We granted restricted shares to certain of our Directors, executives and key employees, the vesting of which is service-based. Certain restricted shares are also subject to a market condition. The following table summarizes the activity during the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 for restricted shares awarded under the 2020 Plan:

|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value |
|  |  |  |  | (per share) |
Outstanding at April 1, 2023 |  |  | 407,324 |  |  | $ | 47.53 |
Granted |  |  | 199,138 |  |  |  | 88.35 |
Vested |  |  | (145,083 | ) |  |  | 49.60 |
Forfeited |  |  | (25,202 | ) |  |  | 47.21 |
Outstanding at March 31, 2024 |  |  | 436,177 |  |  | $ | 65.52 |

The weighted-average grant date fair value of the restricted shares includes grants subject only to a service condition and certain grants subject to both a service condition and a market condition. As of March 31, 2024, a total of 436,177 shares were issued from treasury.

The following table presents additional information related to restricted share activity during fiscal years 2024, 2023, and 2022:

(In thousands) |  | 2024 |  |  | 2023 |  |  | 2022 |
Compensation expense |  | $ | 11,146 |  |  | $ | 9,274 |  |  | $ | 4,339 |
Total fair value of restricted share vesting |  | $ | 6,595 |  |  | $ | 2,952 |  |  | $ | 3,297 |

As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was $16.1 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.1 years. We do not include restricted shares in the calculation of basic earnings per share until the shares are vested.

Restricted Stock Units

We granted restricted stock units to our Chief Executive Officer, the vesting of which is service-based. Certain restricted stock units are also subject to a market condition. The following table summarizes the activity during the twelve months ended March 31, 2024 for restricted stock units awarded under the 2020 Plan:

|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value |
|  |  |  |  | (per share) |
Outstanding at April 1, 2023 |  |  | 67,856 |  |  | $ | 71.62 |
Granted |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Vested |  |  | (11,309 | ) |  |  | 79.58 |
Forfeited |  |  | — |  |  |  | — |
Outstanding at March 31, 2024 |  |  | 56,547 |  |  | $ | 70.03 |

We use a lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of restricted stock units subject to a market condition. There were no restricted stock units subject to a market condition granted in fiscal 2024 or 2022. The following table summarizes the principal valuation assumptions utilized and the resulting fair value of restricted stock units subject to a market condition granted in fiscal 2023:

|  | 2023 |
Risk-free interest rate over contractual term |  |  | 4.3 | %
Expected volatility |  |  | 54.0 | %
Weighted-average grant date fair value |  | $60.02 - $65.89 |

63

The following table presents additional information related to restricted stock unit activity during fiscal 2024:

(In thousands) |  | 2024 |
Compensation expense |  | $ | 2,321 |
Total fair value of restricted stock unit vesting |  | $ | 900 |

As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units was $2.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of 1.7 years.

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 $0.6 million as of March 31, 2024, to be settled through the granting and vesting of performance shares after March 31, 2024. We recognized compensation expense related to performance shares of $0.6 million, $0.4 million, and $0.2 million in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares

The ESPP permits participants to purchase common stock through regular payroll deductions, up to a specified percentage of their eligible compensation. The ESPP is compensatory because, among other provisions, it currently allows participants to purchase stock at up to a 15% discount from the lower of the closing price of a share of our common stock on the first or last trading day of the ESPP offering period. We measure share-based compensation expense for the ESPP based on the fair value of the ESPP grant at the beginning of the offering period. The fair value includes the value of the discount and the value associated with the call and put options that take advantage of the variability in the common stock price during the offering period. We estimate the value of the call and put options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with inputs including the closing market price of our common stock on the first date of the offering period and assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, expected term, and expected volatility of our common shares over the offering period based on historical volatility. We used the following inputs including principal assumptions for the following offering period reflected in our consolidated financial statements:

|  | Offering Period Ending |
|  | June 30, 2024 |
Grant date fair value |  | $ | 81.60 |
Risk-free interest rate over contractual term |  |  | 5.36 | %
Expected term (in years) |  |  | 0.41 |
Expected volatility |  |  | 47.41 | %

The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period approximates the expected term of the ESPP shares. The expected term is the offering period, which is typically six months.

We record amounts withheld from participants during each offering period in accrued salaries, wages and related benefits in the consolidated balance sheets until such shares are purchased. Amounts withheld from participants for the offering period ending June 30, 2024 totaled $0.1 million as of March 31, 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to ESPP shares was $0.1 million, which is expected to be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the offering period ending June 30, 2024.

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, 2021, Michael Kaufman, the Chairman of the Company’s Board of Directors, is the Chief Executive Officer of MAK Capital One LLC.

Conversion

On November 24, 2023, at our option, we required conversion of all the outstanding shares of Convertible Preferred Stock to common stock. On November 27, 2023, we filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware with respect to the Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to which the Convertible Preferred Stock was eliminated and returned to the status of authorized and unissued preferred shares of the Company. Following the mandatory conversion of the outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock on November 24, 2023, there were no outstanding shares of the Convertible Preferred Stock. Accordingly, we removed the Series A convertible preferred stock, no par value from temporary equity on our consolidated balance sheet and recorded the associated increase of common shares at $0.30 stated value and capital in excess of stated value further reflected in our consolidated statement of shareholders' equity.

Dividends

Prior to the conversion on November 24, 2023, the Holders were 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. We paid dividends in the same period as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Accounting Policy

Prior to the conversion on November 24, 2023, we classified convertible preferred stock as temporary equity in the consolidated balance sheets due to certain contingent redemption clauses that were at the election of the Holders. We increased the carrying value of the convertible preferred stock to its redemption value for all undeclared dividends using the interest method.

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, $2.2 million of cash paid in March 2022 for certain ResortSuite tax liabilities, and $0.4 million in cash received in January 2023 upon release of escrow funds resulting in net cash consideration of $24.1 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 Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2021-08, we applied Accounting Standards Codification 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:

(In thousands) |  | Total |
Components of Purchase Price: |  |  |
Cash |  | $ | 24,405 |
Total purchase price |  | $ | 24,405 |
Allocation of Purchase Price: |  |  |
Net tangible assets (liabilities): |  |  |
Accounts receivable, net |  | $ | 2,025 |
Other current assets, including cash acquired |  |  | 519 |
Other assets |  |  | 567 |
Current and other liabilities |  |  | (768 | )
Contract liabilities |  |  | (2,835 | )
Deferred income taxes, non-current |  |  | (1,204 | )
Net tangible assets (liabilities) |  |  | (1,696 | )
Identifiable intangible assets: |  |  |
Customer relationships |  |  | 9,634 |
Non-competition agreements |  |  | 848 |
Developed technology |  |  | 827 |
Trade names |  |  | 846 |
Total identifiable intangible assets |  |  | 12,155 |
Goodwill |  |  | 13,946 |
Total purchase price allocation |  | $ | 24,405 |

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. During the year ended March 31, 2023, we increased goodwill by $0.8 million to record deferred income tax liabilities identified during the measurement period related to Canada tax treatment of certain intangible assets and to record final working capital adjustments related to the purchase price. The acquisition resulted in the recognition of $13.9 million of goodwill, which is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Company recognized acquisition costs of $0.2 million and $0.5 million related to the acquisition of ResortSuite, consisting primarily of professional fees, during the year ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The consolidated statement of operations includes these costs in other charges.

66

Revenue attributable to ResortSuite included in our consolidated statement of operations was $4.8 million, $5.2 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. 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.

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

Item 9A. Control s and Procedures.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Corporate Controller and Treasurer, as Principal Accounting Officer (“PAO”), 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, CFO, and PAO 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, CFO, and PAO, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Management's Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

The management of Agilysys, under the supervision of the CEO, CFO, and PAO, 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, CFO, and PAO, management conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024 based on the framework in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on the evaluation, management concluded that Agilysys maintained effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024.

Grant Thornton LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, issued their report regarding Agilysys' internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2024, 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 2024 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our CEO, CFO, and PAO, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system will be achieved. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the impact of resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. These inherent limitations include the possibility that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple errors. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by individual acts, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all possible conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
