AGILYSYS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

 

1. Nature of Operations and Financial Statement Presentation

Nature of Operations

Agilysys has been a leader in hospitality software for more than 40 years, delivering innovative next generation SaaS and on-premise guest-centric technology solutions for gaming, hotels, resorts and cruise, corporate foodservice management, restaurants, universities, stadia and healthcare. 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.

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, GA.

COVID-19 Pandemic

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our business since that time. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue impacting our financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain and depends on various factors, including the ongoing or recurring impact on our customers, partners, and vendors and on the operation of the global markets in general. Because an increasing portion of our business is based on a subscription model, the effect of COVID-19 on our results of operations may also not be fully reflected for some time.

See Part I, Item 2 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Overview— Recent Developments” of this report for more discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our business.

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 2022 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.

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 September 30, 2021, as well as the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, and the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 are unaudited. However, these financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as those in the audited annual financial statements, except for the recently adopted accounting pronouncements described below. 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, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on May 21, 2021.

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.

Considering the currently unknown extent and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic, we face a greater degree of uncertainty than normal in making the judgments and estimates needed to apply to certain of our significant accounting policies. We assessed certain

8


Table of Contents

accounting matters that generally require consideration of forecasted financial information in context with the information reasonably available to us and the unknown future impacts COVID-19 as of September 30, 2021 and through the date of this report. These estimates may change, as new events occur and additional information is obtained. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

2. 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, 2021, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no other material changes to our significant accounting policies from those disclosed therein. 

Adopted and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

 

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging— Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments by eliminating the requirement to separate embedded conversion features from the host contract when the conversion features are not required to be accounted for as derivatives under Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, or that do not result in substantial premiums accounted for as paid-in capital. By removing the separation model, a convertible debt instrument will be reported as a single liability instrument with no separate accounting for embedded conversion features. This new standard also removes certain settlement conditions that are required for contracts to qualify for equity classification and simplifies the diluted earnings per share calculations by requiring that an entity use the if-converted method and that the effect of potential share settlement be included in diluted earnings per share calculations. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. We adopted ASU 2020-06 as of April 1, 2021 with no impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which affects general principles within Topic 740, Income Taxes, and is meant to simplify and reduce the cost of accounting for income taxes. The new standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2019-12 as of April 1, 2021 with no material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. 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 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 purchase 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 purchase 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 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.

Revenue for hardware sales is recognized 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 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.

Support and maintenance revenue is derived from providing telephone and on-line technical support services, bug fixes, and unspecified software updates and upgrades to customers on a when-and-if-available basis. These services represent a stand-ready

Table of Contents

obligation that is concurrently delivered and has the same pattern of transfer to the customer; we account for these support and maintenance services as a single performance obligation recognized over the term of the maintenance agreement.

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. 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, and any hosting 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.

Professional services revenues primarily consist of fees for consulting, 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. 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.

Disaggregation of Revenue

We derive and report our revenue from the sale of products (software licenses, third party hardware and operating systems), support, maintenance and subscription services and professional services. Revenue recognized at a point in time (products) totaled $7.3 million and $16.1 million, and $6.6 million and $11.8 million for the first three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. Revenue recognized over time (support, maintenance and subscription services and professional services) totaled $30.6 million and $60.5 million, and $27.8 million and $52.4 million for the three and six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 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 $12.2 million and $12.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively and $29.6 million and $30.5 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Because the right to the transaction became unconditional, we transferred to accounts receivable from contract assets at the beginning of the period, $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $2.3 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Our arrangements are for a period of one year or less. As a result, unsatisfied performance obligations as of September 30, 2021 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. Other sales commission expenses have a period of benefit of one year or less and are therefore expensed as incurred in line with the practical expedient elected.

10


Table of Contents

We had $3.1 million and $3.1 million of capitalized sales incentive costs as of September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These balances are included in other non-current assets on our condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, we expensed $0.5 million and $1.2 million, respectively, of sales commissions, which included amortization of capitalized amounts of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. During the comparable periods ending September 30, 2020, we expensed $0.7 million and $1.3 million, respectively, of sales commissions, which included amortization of capitalized amounts of $0.4 million and $0.7 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.

For the three and six months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, certain foreign and state tax effects and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences. For the three and six months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory tax rate due primarily to the utilization of net

operating losses that were offset by decreases in the valuation allowances in the U.S, certain foreign and state tax effects and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

Because of our losses in prior periods, we have recorded and maintain a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, as management believes that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The CARES Act provides, among other provisions, for the deferral of the employer-paid portion of social security taxes through the end of 2020, with 50% of the deferred amount due December 31, 2021 and the remaining 50% due December 31, 2022.

7. Commitments and Contingencies

Agilysys is the subject of various threatened or pending legal actions and contingencies in the normal course of conducting its business. We provide for costs related to these matters when a loss is probable, and the amount can be reasonably estimated. The effect of the outcome of these matters on our future results of operations and liquidity cannot be predicted because any such effect depends on future results of operations and the amount or timing of the resolution of such matters. While it is not possible to predict with certainty, management believes that the ultimate resolution of such individual or aggregated matters will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

On April 6, 2012, Ameranth, Inc. filed a complaint against us in the U.S. District Court of 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. The case against us was consolidated with similar cases brought by Ameranth against more than 30 other defendants. All but one of the patents at issue in the case were invalidated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit in 2016. In September 2018, the District Court found the one surviving Ameranth patent invalid and granted summary judgment in favor of the movant co-defendants. In November 2019, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the lower court’s summary judgement with respect to all claims except for two, which were not asserted against Agilysys. Ameranth’s writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court was denied in October 2020. Subsequently, Ameranth filed further pleading amendments and discovery requests with the District Court, which were opposed by the defendants.

We were not a party to the appeal, and it is currently unclear what impact the summary judgement ruling may have on our case. Ameranth seeks monetary damages, injunctive relief, costs and attorneys' fees from us. At this time, we are not able to predict the outcome of this lawsuit. However, we dispute the allegations of wrongdoing and are vigorously defending ourselves in this matter.

As of September 30, 2021, we have additional operating leases that have not yet commenced of approximately $11.8 million. These operating leases will commence between fiscal year 2022 and fiscal year 2023 with lease terms of three years to eleven years.

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 139,332 and 161,042 of restricted shares at September 30, 2021 and 2020, 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 effect of all potentially dilutive securities on earnings per share. We have stock-settled appreciation rights ("SSARs"), unvested restricted shares, and preferred 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 grants because doing so would be anti-dilutive.

9. Share-based Compensation

We may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, SSARs, restricted shares, and performance shares under our shareholder-approved 2020 Equity Incentive Plan ("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 ("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 aggregate number of shares that may be granted under the 2020 Plan is 3.1 million.

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

The fair value of restricted share and performance share grants is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. For stock option and SSAR grants subject 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 record compensation expense for restricted shares and SSAR grants subject to a service condition utilizing the graded vesting method. For 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, exercise price, share price threshold, remaining contractual term and assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, suboptimal exercise factor, and expected volatility of our common shares based on historical volatility. We record compensation expense for SSAR grants subject to a market condition over the derived service period, which is an output of the lattice option pricing model.

Table of Contents

 

Subsequent to September 30, 2021, we granted approximately 29,000 shares with a grant date fair value of $1.6 million, the vesting of which is service-based, and approximately 45,000 shares with a grant date fair value of $1.8 million, the vesting of which is service-based with a market condition.

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 3,403 common shares to our Chief Executive Officer in May 2021 that vested immediately for a total value of $0.2 million.

10. 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.

The Holders are 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 pay dividends in the same period as declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Item 2. Management's 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Condensed 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 Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q updates information included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). This discussion should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes that appear in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report as well as our Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2021. 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 24 of this Quarterly Report, Item 1A "Risk Factors" in Part II of this Quarterly Report, and Item 1A “Risk Factors” in Part I of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021 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

COVID-19 Pandemic

The World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic on March 11, 2020. COVID-19 has had a significant impact on our business since that time. The extent to which COVID-19 will continue impacting our financial condition and results of operations remains uncertain and depends on various factors, including the ongoing or recurring impact on our customers, partners, and vendors and on the operation of the global markets in general. Because an increasing portion of our business is based on a subscription model, the effect of COVID-19 on our results of operations may also not be fully reflected for some time.

We have taken actions to mitigate the impact on our business. We continue to conduct business with substantial modifications to employee travel, employee work locations, virtualization of customer and employee events, and remote sales, implementation, and support activities, among other modifications. These modifications may continue to delay or reduce sales and harm productivity and collaboration. The pandemic could have an ongoing adverse impact on demand for our customers’ products and services, which in turn could negatively impact the willingness of our customers to enter into or renew contracts with us. The pandemic has impacted our ability to complete certain implementations, negatively impacting our ability to recognize revenue, and could also negatively impact the ongoing collection of accounts receivable from our customers.

While we have eased certain cost reduction measures, we may take further actions that alter our business operations as the situation continues to evolve. As a result, the ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the effects of the operational alterations we have made in response on our business, financial condition, liquidity, and financial results cannot be predicted at this time.

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.

Revenue - Defined

As required by the SEC, we separately present revenue earned as products revenue, support, maintenance and subscription services revenue or professional services revenue in our condensed 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.

 

Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue – Revenue earned from the sale of proprietary and remarketed ongoing support, maintenance and subscription services.

 

Professional services revenue – Revenue earned from the delivery of implementation, integration and installation services for proprietary and remarketed products.

Net revenue. Total net revenue increased $3.5 million, or 10.3%, during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021. Products revenue increased $0.7 million, or 11.3%, due to higher sales and deliveries as our customers re-open their locations for business. Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue increased $1.7 million, or 7.7%, compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021 driven by continued growth in subscription-based service revenue, which increased 21.7% during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared to the second quarter of fiscal 2021. The increase in subscription revenue is due to the re-opening of customer sites and increased sales and implementations of our newer add-on modules. Professional services revenue increased $1.1 million, or 19.4%, due to higher sales and service activity as our customers re-open their locations for business.

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit increased $1.1 million, or 4.8%, for the second quarter of fiscal 2022 and total gross profit margin decreased from 67.4% to 64.0% driven by changes in the composition of revenue by category. Products gross profit was consistent with the second quarter of fiscal 2021 and products gross profit margin decreased from 55.0% to 49.9% due to a higher proportion of third-party products over proprietary software sales. Support, maintenance and subscription services gross profit increased $1.3 million, or 7.1%, and gross profit margin was consistent with the second quarter of fiscal 2021 as certain variable costs increased proportionately with revenue. Professional services gross profit decreased $0.2 million due to delays in certain professional service projects with a decrease in gross profit margin from 32.7% to 24.5% due to an increase in fixed costs as our implementation teams are fully staffed while projects are delayed.

 

Operating expenses

Operating expenses, excluding legal settlements, severance and other charges, increased $5.2 million, or 30.3%, during the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021.

Product development. Product development increased $3.1 million, or 37.8%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due to restored base pay and employee benefits as well as higher share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing increased $1.1 million, or 45.7%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due to restored base pay and employee benefits, increased share-based compensation, return of some travel costs, and higher advertising and promotional costs due to increased marketing event and trade show activity.

General and administrative. General and administrative increased by $1.3 million, or 25.0%, in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due to restored base pay and employee benefits, increased share-based compensation, and higher internal system subscription costs.

Severance and other charges. Severance, and other charges increased $0.6 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due to one-time payment of certain service provider charges and modified business taxes on share-based compensation related to the exercise of stock-settled appreciation rights granted to our Chief Executive Officer in connection with his initial employment agreement with the Company in December 2016.

Legal settlements, net. Legal settlements, net increased $0.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2022 compared with the second quarter of fiscal 2021 due to settlement of a lawsuit involving a former employee; no further activity is expected on this matter.

For the three months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, certain foreign and state tax effects and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory tax rate due primarily to the utilization of net operating losses that were offset by decreases in the valuation allowances in the U.S, certain foreign and state tax effects and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months an immaterial reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur based on the outcome of tax examinations and as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. 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 which cannot be estimated at this time.

Because of our losses in prior periods, we have recorded a valuation allowance offsetting substantially all of our deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, as management believes that it is more likely than not that we will not realize the benefits of

these deductible differences. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences are deductible.

Net revenue. Total net revenue increased $12.5 million, or 19.4%, during the first half of fiscal 2022 compared to the first half of fiscal 2021. Products revenue increased $4.3 million, or 36.8%, due to higher sales and deliveries as our customers re-open their locations for business. Support, maintenance and subscription services revenue increased $4.4 million, or 10.4%, compared to the first half of fiscal 2021 driven by continued growth in subscription-based service revenue, which increased 26.9% during the first half of fiscal 2022 compared to the first half of fiscal 2021.

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit increased $7.4 million, or 17.8%, for the first half of fiscal 2022 and total gross profit margin decreased from 65.0% to 64.1% driven by changes in the composition of revenue by category. Products gross profit increased $2.3 million, or 39.3%, compared to the first half of fiscal 2021 and products gross profit margin increased from 49.4% to 50.3% due to an increase in proprietary software revenue and a higher gross profit margin on the mix of third party products. Support, maintenance and subscription services gross profit increased $3.5 million, or 10.4%, and gross profit margin was consistent with the first half of fiscal 2021 at 79.3% as certain variable costs increased proportionately with revenue. Professional services gross profit increased $1.6 million, or 82.9%, due to the increase in professional service projects as customers continue to re-open their locations. Professional services gross profit margin increased from 20.2% to 26.7% due to improved utilization rates.

For the six months ended September 30, 2021, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory tax rate due primarily to the recognition of net operating losses as deferred tax assets in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions, which were offset by increases in the valuation allowance, certain foreign and state tax effects and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences. For the six months ended September 30, 2020, the effective tax rate was different than the statutory tax rate due primarily to the utilization of net operating losses that were offset by decreases in the valuation allowances in the U.S, certain foreign and state tax effects and other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.

 

Although the timing and outcome of tax settlements are uncertain, it is reasonably possible that during the next 12 months an immaterial reduction in unrecognized tax benefits may occur based on the outcome of tax examinations and as a result of the expiration of various statutes of limitations. 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 which cannot be estimated at this time.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our operating cash requirements consist primarily of working capital needs, operating expenses, capital expenditures, payments on indebtedness outstanding, which primarily consists of lease obligations and preferred stock dividends.

At September 30, 2021, 100% of our cash and cash equivalents, of which 96% were located in the United States, were deposited in bank accounts or invested in highly liquid investments with original maturity from the date of acquisition of three months or less, including investments in commercial paper. We believe credit risk is limited with respect to our cash and cash equivalents balances.

23


Table of Contents

As of September 30, 2021, and March 31, 2021, our total debt was approximately $0.1 million, comprised of finance lease obligations in both periods.

We believe that cash flow from operating activities, cash on hand of $106.4 million as of September 30, 2021 and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements.

Cash flow used in investing activities. Consists primarily of property and equipment purchases.

Cash flow (used in) provided by financing activities. During the first six months of fiscal 2022, the $3.6 million used in financing activities consisted of $2.7 million related to the repurchase of shares to satisfy employee tax withholding on share-based compensation and $0.9 million in preferred stock dividends. During the first six months of fiscal 2021, the $32.8 million provided by financing activities consisted primarily of $34.0 million in preferred stock issuance proceeds from the MAK Capital investment, net of issuance costs, offset by $1.0 million related to the repurchase of shares to satisfy employee tax withholding on share-based compensation and $0.2 million in preferred stock dividends.

Contractual Obligations

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

A detailed description of our significant accounting policies is included in our Annual Report for the year ended March 31, 2021. Other than as described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, there have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies and estimates since March 31, 2021.

Forward-Looking Information

This Quarterly Report and other publicly available documents, including the documents incorporated herein and therein by reference, contain, and our officers and representatives may from time to time make, "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "anticipate," "intend," "plan," "goal," "seek," "believe," "project," "estimate," "expect," "strategy," "future," "likely," "may," "should," "will" and similar references to future periods. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that are difficult to predict. These statements are based on management’s current expectations, intentions, or beliefs and are subject to a number of factors, assumptions, and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences or that might otherwise impact the business include the risk factors set forth in Item 1A in Part II of this Quarterly Report and Item IA

Table of Contents

of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. We undertake no obligation to update any such factor or to publicly announce the results of any revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting us, see Item 7A, “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk,” contained in our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021. There have been no material changes in our market risk exposures since March 31, 2021.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Corporate Controller and Treasurer, management evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on that evaluation, the CEO, CFO and Corporate Controller and Treasurer concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that occurred during the six months ended September 30, 2021, that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, a significant number of our employees are now working from home. The design of our financial reporting processes, systems, and controls allows for remote execution with accessibility to secure data.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Corporate Controller and Treasurer, 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 future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of controls effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. 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.
