AGYS Reports 17th Consecutive Record Revenue Quarter—Recurring and Subscription Growth Sets New Highs
Consistent Top-Line Growth: Recurring Revenues Drive Record Results
Agilysys (NASDAQ: AGYS) delivered its 17th consecutive record revenue quarter, reporting $82.9 million for Q4 and an all-time high of $319.3 million for the full fiscal year ending March 31, 2026. The company’s focus on cloud-based hospitality solutions continues to pay off, as recurring and subscription revenues account for the majority of the growth. Notably, recurring revenue hit $205.9 million in fiscal 2026—an increase of nearly 21% year-on-year—and now makes up almost two-thirds of total revenue.
Subscription revenue, which forms the backbone of Agilysys's long-term strategy, grew an impressive 30.2% year-over-year for the full year and rose 24.1% in the latest quarter alone. This surge elevated subscription’s share of recurring revenue to 66.6%, up nearly five percentage points from last year.
