Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include our accounts consolidated with our wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Our fiscal year ends on March 31st. References to a particular year refer to the fiscal year ending in March of that year. For example, fiscal 2025 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025.
Our unaudited interim financial statements are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) for interim financial information, the instructions to the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (Quarterly Report) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act), and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X under the Exchange Act. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations relating to interim financial statements.
The Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2024, as well as the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, and Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, are unaudited. However, these financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the audited annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a recurring nature necessary to fairly state the results of operations, financial position, and cash flows have been made.
These unaudited interim financial statements should be read together with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2024, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 22, 2024.
Use of estimates
Preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that may 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.
- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A detailed description of our significant accounting policies can be found in the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed therein.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2024-03 Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures(“ASU 2024-03”) to expand expense disclosures by requiring disaggregated disclosure of certain income statement expense line items, including those that contain purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization. ASU 2024-03 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, or our fiscal 2028, and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The amendments should be applied prospectively, but retrospective application is permitted. We are currently assessing the impact of the requirements on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued 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 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 is 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, and subsequent interim periods. 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.
- Revenue Recognition
Our customary business practice is to enter into legally enforceable written contracts with our customers. The majority of our contracts are governed by a master service agreement between us and the customer, which sets forth the general terms and conditions of any individual contract between the parties, which is then supplemented by a customer order to specify the different goods and services, the associated prices, and any additional terms for an individual contract. Performance obligations specific to each individual contract are defined within the terms of each order. Each performance obligation is identified based on the goods and services that will be transferred to our customer that are both capable of being distinct and are distinct within the context of the contract. The transaction price is determined based on the consideration to which we will be entitled and expect to receive in exchange 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, development 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. At the end of each reporting period, we recognize the most likely amount of variable consideration on any contract holdbacks we expect to bill for development services delivered. Professional services can be provided by internal or external providers, do not significantly affect the customer’s ability to access or use other provided goods or services, and provide a measure of benefit beyond that of other promised goods or services in the contract. As a result, professional services are considered distinct in the context of the contract and represent a separate performance obligation. Professional services that are billed on a time and materials basis are recognized over time as the services are performed. For contracts billed on a fixed price basis, revenue is recognized over time using an input method based on labor hours expended to date relative to the total labor hours expected to be required to satisfy the related performance obligation.
We use the market approach to derive standalone selling price (“SSP”) by maximizing observable data points (in the form of recently executed customer contracts) to determine the price customers are willing to pay for the goods and services transferred. If the contract contains a single performance obligation, the entire transaction price is allocated to that performance obligation. Contracts that contain multiple performance obligations require an allocation of the transaction price to each performance obligation based on a relative SSP basis.
Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are recognized as revenue and the related costs are recognized in cost of goods sold. Revenue is recorded net of any applicable taxes collected and remitted to governmental agencies.
Disaggregation of Revenue
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. Products revenue recognized at a point in time totaled$10.7 million and$12.7 million, and$31.1 million and$38.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Subscription, maintenance, and substantially all professional services revenue recognized over time totaled$58.9 million and$47.9 million, and$170.3 million and$137.1 million for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
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 year was$10.6 million and$12.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and$52.8 million and$48.9 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Because the right to the transaction became unconditional, we transferred to accounts receivable from contract assets at the beginning of the period,$0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023, and$2.2 million and$2.1 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Substantially all of our arrangements are for a period of one year or less. As a result, unsatisfied performance obligations as of December 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 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.
We had$5.5 million and $4.3 million of capitalized sales incentive costs as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. These balances are included in other non-current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, we expensed$1.0 million and$2.8 million, respectively, of sales commissions, which included amortization of capitalized amounts of$0.5 million and$1.3 million, respectively. During the comparable periods ending December 31, 2023, we expensed$1.0 million and$2.9 million, respectively, of sales commissions, which included amortization of capitalized amounts of$0.4 million and$1.2 million, respectively. These expenses are included in operating expenses – sales and marketing in our condensed consolidated statement of operations. All other costs to obtain a contract are not considered incremental and therefore are expensed as incurred.

- Income Taxes
The following table compares our income tax provision and effective tax rates for thethree and nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
| Three Months EndedDecember 31, | Nine Months EndedDecember 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |
| Income tax provision (benefit) | $3,913 | $(68,043) | $962 | $(67,396) |
| Effective tax rate | 50.5% | nm | 4.7% | nm |
For the three months ended December 31, 2024, income tax provision and the effective tax rate were primarily driven by the tax effects of share-based compensation, global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) and the mix of earnings in the U.S. and India.
For the nine months ended December 31, 2024, income tax provision and the effective tax rate were primarily driven by the impact of discrete excess tax benefits associated with Share-Based Compensation.
For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2023, income tax provision and the effective tax rate were primarily driven by the release of valuation allowances recorded against deferred tax assets in the U.S. and Canada.
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 five years of operations, which included fiscal 2018 through fiscal 2022. The India subsidiary is subject to 50% of regular India income taxes during its second five years of operations, which includes fiscal 2023 through fiscal 2027.
The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) is a stimulus bill which was in response to economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. The CARES Act provided an employee retention credit, which is a refundable tax credit against certain employment taxes. During the three and nine months ended December 31, 2024, we recorded $0.5 million of employee retention credits received in cash as other (gains) charges, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
We have recorded and maintain valuation allowances offsetting the Company’s deferred tax assets in certain U.S. States and foreign jurisdictions. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on various factors including the generation of future taxable income in the periods in which the underlying temporary differences are deductible. 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.
- Commitments and 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.
As of December 31, 2024, we have additional operating leases that have not yet commenced of approximately$1.9 million. These leases are expected to commence in fiscal year 2025 and in fiscal year 2027 with initial lease terms of approximately 1.5 to 5 years, respectively.
- 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.
| Three Months EndedDecember 31, | Nine Months EndedDecember 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Net income attributable to common shareholders | $3,830 | $76,855 | $19,300 | $82,030 |
| Denominator: | ||||
| Weighted average shares outstanding - basic | 27,667 | 25,808 | 27,446 | 25,256 |
| Dilutive SSARs | 399 | 920 | 514 | 951 |
| Dilutive unvested restricted shares | 204 | 223 | 248 | 239 |
| Dilutive unvested restricted stock units | 44 | 28 | 40 | 17 |
| Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted | 28,314 | 26,979 | 28,248 | 26,463 |
| Income per share - basic: | $0.14 | $2.98 | $0.70 | $3.25 |
| Income per share - diluted: | $0.14 | $2.85 | $0.68 | $3.10 |
| Anti-dilutive SSARs, restricted shares, performance shares and preferred shares | 136 | 89 | 136 | 30 |
Basic income per share is computed as net income attributable to common shareholders divided by the weighted average basic shares outstanding. The outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted average basic shares excludes 248,704 and 454,336 of restricted shares at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, as these shares were issued but were not vested and therefore, not considered outstanding for purposes of computing basic income per share at the balance sheet dates.
Diluted income per share includes the impact of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. We have stock-settled appreciation rights (SSARs), restricted shares, and restricted stock units that are potentially dilutive securities.
- 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 Amended and Restated 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2024 Plan) for up tothree million common shares, plus 237,080 common shares, the number of shares that were remaining for grant under the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the 2020 Plan) as of the effective date of the 2024 Plan, plus the number of shares remaining for grant under the 2020 Plan that are forfeited, settled in cash, canceled or expired. The maximum aggregate number of common shares available for issuance under the 2024 Plan is 3.2 million. We may also grant shares under our shareholder-approved Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP) for up to 0.5 million 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 grants included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations:
| Three Months EndedDecember 31, | Nine Months EndedDecember 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (In thousands) | 2024 | 2023 | 2024 | 2023 |

| Total share-based compensation expense | 4,218 | 3,638 | 12,656 | 9,489 |
Stock-Settled 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.
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 during the nine months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
The following table summarizes the activity during thenine months ended December 31, 2024 for SSARs awarded under the 2020 and 2016 Plans:

As of December 31, 2024, there wasno unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to SSARs.
Restricted Shares
We granted 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 thenine months ended December 31, 2024 for restricted shares granted under the 2020 Plan:
| Number of Shares | Weighted-AverageGrant-DateFair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| (per share) | ||
| Outstanding at April 1, 2024 | 436,177 | $65.52 |
| Granted | 37,349 | 106.81 |
| Vested | (213,436) | 60.20 |
| Forfeited | (11,386) | 74.94 |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 248,704 | $75.84 |
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 December 31, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares was$8.9 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 1.8 years.
Restricted Stock Units
We granted restricted stock units to certain of our Directors, executives and key employees, 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 nine months ended December 31, 2024 for restricted stock units awarded under the 2020 and 2024 Plans:
| Number of Shares | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value | |
|---|---|---|
| (per share) | ||
| Outstanding at April 1, 2024 | 56,547 | $70.03 |

| Vested | — | — |
| Forfeited | — | — |
| Outstanding at December 31, 2024 | 192,324 | $117.64 |
As of December 31, 2024, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units was $18.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of 2.7 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 granted 6,098 common shares to our Chief Executive Officer in May 2024 that vested immediately for a total value of $0.6 million.
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.
| Offering Period Ended | Offering Period Ended | |
|---|---|---|
| June 30, 2024 | December 31, 2024 | |
| Grant date fair value | $81.60 | $103.43 |
| Risk-free interest rate over contractual term | 5.36% | 4.91% |
| Expected term (in years) | 0.41 | 0.50 |

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 ended December 31, 2024 totaled$0.5 million as of December 31, 2024.
As of December 31, 2024, there wasno unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to the offering period ended December 31, 2024.

Revolving Credit Facility
On August 16, 2024 (the “Credit Agreement Closing Date”), we entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with the lenders party thereto and Bank of America, N.A., as lender and administrative agent (in such capacity, the “Agent”). The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving credit facility in the initial maximum aggregate principal amount of $75.0 million (the “Revolving Facility”). The Revolving Facility includes the ability for the Company to request an increase to the commitments under the Revolving Facility by an additional aggregate principal amount of up to $25.0 million. On the Credit Agreement Closing Date, the Company drew $50.0 million on the Revolving Facility (the “Initial Revolving Loan”), the proceeds of which we used to fund the Business Combination as described in Note 11 below. We repaid $12.0 million and $14.0 million of the principal balance in October 2024 and January 2025, respectively.
The Revolving Facility matures on August 16, 2027, the three-year anniversary of the Credit Agreement Closing Date, at which time any and all outstanding principal balance will be due and payable. The Company may voluntarily repay outstanding loans and terminate commitments under the Revolving Facility at any time without premium or penalty. There are no repayments required before August 16, 2027. Debt issuance costs relating to the Revolving Facility of $0.3 million, included in other non-current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheet, amortize into interest expense over the three-year life of the Credit Agreement.
Our obligations under the Revolving Facility are guaranteed by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), subject to certain customary exceptions and limitations. Pursuant to a security and pledge agreement, dated as of the Credit Agreement Closing Date, among the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Agent, the Revolving Facility is secured by a first-priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ present and future personal assets and intangible assets and the outstanding capital stock of the Company’s subsidiaries owned by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case, subject to certain customary exceptions and limitations.
The Initial Revolving Loan bears interest at the SOFR Daily Floating Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement), plus an initial margin of 1.625%, which is subject to adjustment as of each fiscal quarter end within the ranges set forth in the Credit Agreement. We are to pay a commitment fee under the Revolving Facility in respect of any unutilized commitments thereunder, which is determined on a leverage-based sliding scale ranging from 0.225% to 0.325% per annum. The initial commitment fee is 0.275% subject to quarterly adjustment. We record the commitment fee as a component of interest expense. Interest and commitment fees are payable quarterly.
The Credit Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants, including financial covenants that require the Company to maintain a consolidated interest coverage ratio and a consolidated leverage ratio determined at the end of each fiscal quarter as defined in the Credit Agreement.
- Business Combination
On August 20, 2024 (the "Acquisition Date"), we acquired all the issued and outstanding shares of Book4Time Parent, Inc. (“Book4Time”), a hospitality software company based in Canada. Book4Time is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Agilysys, Inc. The consolidated financial statements include the results of Book4Time’s operations since the Acquisition Date. The acquisition expands the opportunity to increase our solutions-per-customer globally.
The purchase price consisted of $147.2 million of cash paid at closing, funded from cash on hand and the proceeds of the Initial Revolving Loan, partially offset by $2.3 million of Book4Time’s cash received in the acquisition resulting in net cash consideration of $144.9 million. We allocated the purchase price for Book4Time 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.
The following table sets forth the components and the allocation of the purchase price for our acquisition of Book4Time:
| (In thousands) | Total |
|---|---|
| Components of Purchase Price: | |
| Cash | $147,181 |
| Total Purchase Price | $147,181 |
| Allocation of Purchase Price: | |
| Accounts receivable, net | $1,623 |
| Other current assets, including cash acquired | 4,390 |
| Other assets | 623 |
| Current and other liabilities | (3,018) |
| Deferred tax liabilities | (11,825) |
| Contract liabilities | (9,324) |
| Net tangible assets (liabilities) | (17,531) |
| Identifiable intangible assets: | |
| Customer relationships | 35,000 |
| Non-competition agreements | 8,100 |
| Developed technology | 2,600 |
| Trade name | 17,100 |
| Total identifiable intangible assets | 62,800 |
| Goodwill | 101,912 |
| Total purchase price allocation | $147,181 |
We assigned the acquired customer relationships, non-competition agreements, developed technology, and trade name estimated useful lives of 20 years, three years, five years, and 15 years, respectively, with a weighted average useful life of approximately 15.8 years. The identifiable intangible assets acquired amortize 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 Book4Time 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, which is not separable from goodwill under FASB Accounting Standards Codification 805. As part of the acquisition, the Company acquired fully trained personnel thereby avoiding the expenditure that would have been required to hire and train equivalent personnel. We considered the replacement cost method as most appropriate for the assembled workforce valuation. We valued the assembled workforce included in goodwill at $1.5 million. The total goodwill recognized in the acquisition amounted to $101.9 million, which is not deductible for income tax purposes.
As of the Acquisition Date, we recorded current liabilities of $1.5 million for uncertain tax positions, including estimated penalties and interest, we identified during the acquisition. We recorded a related indemnification asset of $1.5 million in current assets covered by funds held in escrow under the terms of the share purchase agreement and escrow agreement we entered into with the sellers of Book4Time.
We have prepared the Book4Time purchase price allocation on a preliminary basis. Changes to the allocation may occur as additional information becomes available during the measurement period (up to one year from the Acquisition Date). The primary areas that remain preliminary include, but are not limited to, intangible assets including the initial assumptions used in their estimates of fair values and their respective estimated useful lives, income taxes, and residual goodwill.
The Company recognized acquisition costs of $1.9 million related to the acquisition of Book4Time, consisting primarily of professional fees, during thenine months ended December 31, 2024. The consolidated statement of operations includes these costs in other (gains) charges, net.
Revenue attributable to Book4Time included in our condensed consolidated statement of operations was $4.6 million and $6.8 million for thethree and nine months ended December 31, 2024, respectively. Net income (loss) was not material.

- 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.
