CEO Savneet Singh added that hardware revenue, which spiked in Q2, should normalize. Singh explained that multi-product deals can increase ARPU by 60% to 100%, citing an example where a typical $2,500 per store POS deal expanded to nearly $8,000 per store with the full product suite.

    Mayank Tandon's questions to Agilysys Inc (AGYS) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Mayank Tandon asked for clarification on the updated FY25 guidance, seeking a breakdown of the organic versus Book4Time contribution to the new 38% subscription growth target. He also inquired about the embedded growth assumptions for the POS and PMS segments in the second half and questioned why margins were not expected to scale more significantly given the company's operating leverage.

    Answer

    CFO Dave Wood clarified that of the 38% subscription growth guidance, a little over 25% is organic, with the remainder from the Book4Time acquisition. He noted that PMS growth is expected to outpace the overall subscription rate, while POS is anticipated to recover. Regarding margins, Wood explained that while operating leverage is improving, an expected rebound in lower-margin product revenue in the second half will likely temper the overall gross margin, keeping it slightly below the current 63.3% level.
