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, 2020, 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, 2020. 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 29 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, 2020 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

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak
a global pandemic. The outbreak has reached all geographic regions in which we
do business, and government authorities around the world have implemented
extensive measures attempting to contain the spread and mitigate the effects of
the virus, including travel bans and restrictions, border closings, quarantines,
shelter-in-place orders, closures of non-essential businesses, and social
distancing requirements. The global spread of COVID-19 and the actions taken in
response have negatively impacted us, our customers, our suppliers and the many
communities in which we do business. The overall extent and duration of economic
and business disruption is not currently known. In response to these challenges,
we quickly adjusted our business policies and practices for employees to work
from home and have taken other measures to continue our operations with safety
as our top priority.

We continuously monitor and assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including recommendations and orders from government and public health authorities. We are working to help our customers maintain their operations during this difficult time while managing our teams to be prepared for continuously changing demand for our products and services.



During the first nine months of our fiscal 2021, revenue was negatively impacted
by delays and reduced spending attributed to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic
on our customers' operational priorities and as a result of various one-time
recurring revenue related and other concessions we have given to customers to
help them during this time of need. Due to the pandemic, we have seen a
reduction or delay in customer contracts, and we have seen a significant
reduction in face-to-face meetings with existing or prospective customers,
in-person demonstrations of our solutions, and have been unable to host or
attend in-person trade shows and conferences. Limitations on access to the
facilities of our customers have also impacted our ability to deliver some of
our products, complete certain implementations, and provide in-person consulting
and training services, negatively impacting our ability to recognize revenue. We
continued to experience high recurring revenue renewal rates during the first
nine months of the fiscal year. We also have an expanded product base that
includes new products which allow for contactless capabilities and other
features which help promote social distancing and guest safety. Despite our
strong first nine months of recurring renewal rates and new solution offerings,
we cannot predict how the pandemic will impact our results in the short-term
future, including to the extent that customers delay or miss payments, customers
defer, reduce, or refrain from placing orders or renewing subscriptions or
maintenance arrangements, or travel restrictions and site access restrictions
remain necessary. We likewise cannot predict our results in the long-term future
as our customers adapt to the lingering and perhaps more permanent impact of the
pandemic on the hospitality industry.

We continue to conduct business with substantial modifications to employee
travel, employee work locations, virtualization or cancellation of customer and
employee events, and mostly remote sales, implementation, and support
activities, among other modifications. These modifications may continue to delay
or reduce sales and harm productivity and collaboration. In addition, during the
first nine months of our fiscal 2021, we reduced discretionary costs,
implemented a hiring freeze on non-essential positions and reduced payroll and
related costs through layoffs, employee furloughs, employee retirement benefit
limitations, and temporary salary decreases for executive team members and
certain other employees of the Company. Such actions may have an adverse impact
on us, particularly those actions that remain in place for an extended period as
we continue to manage through the uncertainties around the timing and extent of
the pandemic's impact.

We may take further actions or retract previous 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.

On March 27, 2020, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act
was enacted and signed into U.S. law to provide economic relief to individuals
and businesses facing economic hardship as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We
deferred $1.8 million in employer payroll tax payments under the CARES Act as of
December 31, 2020. The CARES Act did not have a material impact on our
consolidated results of operations as of and for the nine months ended December
31, 2020.

MAK Capital Investment

In May 2020, we entered into an agreement to sell to MAK Capital One, LLC ("MAK
Capital") $35 million of convertible preferred stock carrying a 5.25% dividend
that will be convertible into shares of the Company's common stock. The
transaction resulted in the issuance of 1,735,457 preferred shares which added
$35 million in preferred stock to the Company's balance sheet and increased our
cash balance by the $35 million investment less closing costs of $1.0 million.
The 5.25% dividends will accumulate and increase the liquidation preference of
the preferred stock for any undeclared amounts.

• 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

Net revenue. Total net revenue decreased $5.3 million, or 12.7%, during the
third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020.
Products revenue decreased $4.5 million, or 37.3%, due to lower sales due to
delayed customer purchasing decisions as the timing of the hospitality recovery
from the COVID-19 pandemic remains unclear. Support, maintenance and
subscription services revenue increased $1.9 million, or 9.0%, compared to the
third quarter of fiscal 2020 driven by continued growth in subscription-based
service revenue that increased 18.1% during the third quarter of fiscal 2021
compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Professional services revenue
decreased $2.7 million, or 30.0%, due to lower sales due to delayed customer
purchasing decisions as the timing of the hospitality recovery from the COVID-19
pandemic remains unclear.

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit increased $3.1
million, or 14.9%, for the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and total gross profit
margin increased from 50.2% to 66.0% driven by changes in the composition of
revenue by category and the absence of software development cost amortization
during the third quarter of fiscal 2021. Products gross profit increased $1.5
million, or 58.4%, compared to the third quarter of fiscal 2020 and products
gross profit margin increased from 20.5% to 51.8% due to the absence of software
development cost amortization during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 and a
higher proportion of proprietary software sales over third party products.
Support, maintenance and subscription services gross profit increased $2.1
million and gross profit margin increased 272 basis points to 79.6%. The margin
increase is the result of increased revenue on a relatively flat cost base.
Professional services gross profit decreased $0.4 million due to the delay in
professional service projects as customers continued to work towards re-opening
their locations. Gross profit margin increased from 27.6% to 33.2% due to
improved utilization rates and a slightly larger decrease in the percentage of
professional services costs compared to professional services revenue as a
result of employee furloughs and layoffs, lower incentive pay and employee
benefits.



Operating expenses

Operating expenses, excluding legal settlements, severance and other charges, increased $0.7 million, or 3.0%, during the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2020.



Product development. Product development increased $1.1 million, or 9.7%, in the
third quarter of fiscal 2021 due to lower cash-based incentive pay and employee
benefits offset by higher share-based compensation.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing decreased $1.6 million, or 32.4%, in
the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the third quarter of fiscal 2020
due to layoffs, temporary reductions in employee benefits, and reduced
commission expense due to lower sales levels. The decrease also includes the
impact of significantly reduced travel, the absence of in-person trade shows and
conference activity, and the ability to conduct more business remotely.

                                       22

Table of Contents



General and administrative. General and administrative increased by $1.4
million, or 23.4%, in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 compared with the third
quarter of fiscal 2020 due to higher share-based compensation offsetting lower
cash-based incentive pay and employee benefits.

Severance and other charges. Severance, and other charges increased $1.5 million
in the third quarter of fiscal 2021 due to layoffs and other employee
terminations.

Interest income. Interest income consists of interest earned through interest-bearing bank accounts and on cash equivalents including short-term investments in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, treasury bills and money market funds.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of costs associated with finance leases.

Other expense. Other expense consists mainly of the impact of foreign currency due to movement of European and Asian currencies against the US dollar.

For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the effective tax rate was
different than the statutory tax rate due primarily to the recognition of net
operating losses that were offset by increased valuation allowance in the U.S,
certain foreign and state tax effects and other U.S. permanent book to tax
differences. For the three months ended December 31, 2019, the effective tax
rate was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of
net operating losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions that were
offset by increased valuation allowance, 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 decreased $20.3 million, or 16.7%, during the
first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared to the first nine months of fiscal
2020. Products revenue decreased $15.5 million, or 44.4%, due to lower sales
combined with delayed deliveries resulting from customer restrictions including
temporary site closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Support,
maintenance and subscription services revenue increased $4.3 million, or 7.0%,
compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2020 driven by continued growth in
subscription-based service revenue that increased 17.0% during the first nine
months of fiscal 2021 compared to the first nine months of fiscal 2020. The
growth rate in our support, maintenance and subscription services is
significantly lower than we have reported in recent periods due to one-time
COVID-19 related financial relief we provided to certain customers primarily
during the first half of fiscal 2021 to help them as they dealt with temporary
site closures. Professional services revenue decreased $9.1 million, or 36.4%,
due to lower sales combined with delayed installations and integration of our
software solutions resulting from travel and customer restrictions including
temporary site closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Gross profit and gross profit margin. Our total gross profit increased $4.6
million, or 7.5%, for the first nine months of fiscal 2021 and total gross
profit margin increased from 50.6% to 65.3% driven by changes in the composition
of revenue by category and the absence of software development cost
amortization. Products gross profit increased $3.0 million, or 43.4%, compared
to the first nine months of fiscal 2020 and products gross profit margin
increased from 19.5% to 50.4% due to the absence of software development cost
amortization during the first nine months of fiscal 2021 along with a higher
proportion of proprietary software sales over third party products. Support,
maintenance and subscription services gross profit increased $4.4 million and
gross profit margin increased 169 basis points to 79.4%. The margin increase is
the result of increased revenue on a relatively flat cost base. Professional
services gross profit decreased $2.8 million and gross profit margin decreased
from 27.3% to 25.3% due to the drop in demand for professional services
resulting from travel and customer restrictions including temporary site
closures in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.



Operating expenses



Operating expenses, excluding legal settlements, severance and other charges,
decreased $8.8 million, or 13.0%, during the first nine months of fiscal 2021
compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2020.

Product development. Product development decreased $3.2 million, or 10.0%, in
the first nine months of fiscal 2021 due to temporary salary reductions, lower
incentive pay and employee benefits, lower recruiting fees, and significantly
reduced travel and outside service expenses due to employees working from home.

Sales and marketing. Sales and marketing decreased $6.0 million, or 42.1%, in
the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared with the first nine months of
fiscal 2020 due to temporary reductions in salaries and employee benefits,
furloughs, layoffs, and reduced commission expense due to lower sales levels.
The decrease also includes the impact of significantly reduced travel, the
absence of in-person trade shows and conference activity, and the ability to
conduct more business remotely.

General and administrative. General and administrative increased by $0.4 million, or 2.5%, in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 compared with the first nine months of fiscal 2020 due to increased share-based compensation offsetting decreased cash-based compensation including employee furloughs and layoffs, temporary salary reductions, lower incentive pay and employee benefits.



Severance and other charges. Severance, and other charges increased $2.3 million
in the first nine months of fiscal 2021 due to layoffs and other employee
terminations.

Interest income. Interest income consists of interest earned through interest-bearing bank accounts and on cash equivalents including short-term investments in certificates of deposit, commercial paper, treasury bills and money market funds.

Interest expense. Interest expense consists of costs associated with finance leases.

Other expense. Other expense consists mainly of the impact of foreign currency due to movement of European and Asian currencies against the US dollar.

For the nine months ended December 31, 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 decreased valuation allowance in the U.S,
certain foreign and state tax effects and other U.S. permanent book to tax
differences. For the nine months ended December 31, 2019, the effective tax rate
was different than the statutory rate due primarily to the recognition of net
operating losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions that were offset
by increased valuation allowance, certain foreign and state tax effects and
other U.S. permanent book to tax differences.



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 December 31, 2020, 100% of our cash and cash equivalents, of which 96% were
located in the United States, were deposited in bank accounts. We believe credit
risk is limited with respect to our cash and cash equivalents balances.

The MAK Capital investment increased our cash balance by $34.0 million after
closing costs of $1.0 million. As described above under Recent Developments and
further in Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, the
transaction resulted in the issuance of 1,735,457 preferred shares with an
annual dividend rate of 5.25%.

Our liquidity could be negatively impacted by a decrease in demand for our products and services, including the impact of changes in customer buying behavior due to circumstances over which we have no control, including, but not limited to, the effects of the

COVID-19 pandemic. If we require additional funding, for operating needs, a business acquisition or otherwise, we may need access to more capital, which could involve borrowings under a credit facility.

As of December 31, 2020, and March 31, 2020, 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 $92.6 million as of December 31, 2020 and access to capital markets will provide adequate funds to meet our short- and long-term liquidity requirements.

Cash flow provided by operating activities. Cash flow provided by operating
activities was $15.1 million in the first nine months of fiscal 2021. The
provision of cash was due primarily to the addition of $12.5 million in non-cash
expense including depreciation, amortization, and share-based compensation, to
our operating income of $3.3 million offset by a decrease of $0.7 million in net
operating assets and liabilities.

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

Cash flow provided by (used in) financing activities. During the first nine months of fiscal 2021, the $31.8 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 $1.1 million related to the repurchase of shares to satisfy employee tax withholding on share-based compensation and $1.1 million in preferred stock dividends.

Contractual Obligations

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
