Agilysys (NASDAQ: AGYS) saw its stock plummet 8.50% in after-hours trading on Monday, despite reporting record revenue for its fiscal 2026 first quarter. The hospitality software solutions provider's mixed financial results, with earnings falling short of analyst expectations, appear to have disappointed investors.
The company announced Q1 revenue of $76.7 million, beating the analyst consensus of $74.3 million and marking a 20.7% increase from the previous year. This growth was primarily driven by a 44% surge in subscription revenue. However, Agilysys reported adjusted earnings per share of $0.33, missing the analyst estimate of $0.36. Additionally, the company's adjusted EBITDA of $12.5 million fell short of the expected $14 million.
Despite raising its full-year subscription revenue growth guidance to 27%, investors seem concerned about the company's profitability. Net income for the quarter dropped to $4.9 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, compared to $14.1 million, or $0.50 per diluted share, in the prior-year period. The company also reported negative free cash flow of $5.0 million, down from $0.2 million in the same quarter last year. These factors, combined with the earnings miss, likely contributed to the sharp after-hours decline in Agilysys' stock price.
