Agilysys, Inc. (Nasdaq: AGYS), a leading provider of innovative IT solutions, recently announced revisions to the company's previously announced revenue and adjusted EBITDA guidance. Agilysys now expects fiscal 2009 revenue of approximately $810 million to $825 million and adjusted EBITDA of approximately $20 million to $24 million, which excludes restructuring charges of $23.8 million related to both the severance costs of its first quarter cost reductions and the write-off of goodwill and intangible assets associated with The CTS Corporations, which was acquired in May 2005. In the company's fourth-quarter earnings release on June 2, 2008, the company stated it expected fiscal 2009 revenue of between $860 million and $900 million with adjusted EBITDA excluding restructuring charges of $27 million to $40 million. "Previously, our customers had expectations for increased year-over-year spending in the latter half of 2008 and early 2009. As a result of the continued uncertainty on the macro-economic front, we expect capital spending and demand for IT investment to remain soft," said Arthur Rhein, chairman, president, and chief executive officer of Agilysys. "With the recent turmoil in the financial and credit markets, our guidance implies a flat to somewhat negative year-over-year second half as we believe projects are more likely to be reduced in scope or delayed."
