2021 and 2020 respectively (see reconciliation below). ending cash balance was $115.1 million, compared to ending cash balance of $99.2 million as of fiscal 2021 year-end. ramesh srinivasan, president and ceo of agilysys, commented, “we are pleased with our continued consistent growth in subscription revenue despite partial to high business environment challenges across asia, europe, managed food services, cruise ships and hotel chains. we are happy to have crossed the $100m total annual recurring revenue exit run-rate milestone. with only three quarters completed, this fiscal year is already a record year with respect to sales bookings pertaining to subscription fees measured in annual contract value (acv) terms. among other things, that has a lot to do with increasing momentum with property management system (pms) products and related software modules. the hardware revenue related supply chain situation improved this quarter and should make more progress during q4. services revenue continues to be challenged by delayed projects which have further increased services and subscription revenue backlog. the previously announced acquisition of resortsuite closed early january as expected. only a handful of technology providers currently have the experience and expertise to offer robust, comprehensive and end-to-end integrated property management solutions and the merger of two of them – agilysys and resortsuite – is progressing well on all fronts, among internal teams, customers and the overall hospitality industry community. q3 fiscal 2022 was a record quarter with respect to both subscription and overall recurring revenue. we expect the current business environment pressures on one-time hardware product and services revenue to get better soon. we expect q4 fiscal 2022 to be a record high for overall total revenue getting us to the low end of fiscal 2022 annual guidance with profitability remaining at adjusted ebitda being slightly above 15% of revenue.” fiscal 2022 outlook agilysys continues to monitor the impact of covid-19 on the hospitality industry with our primary focus being the safety of our employees and customers as we manage through these unprecedented times. we expect overall revenue during q4 to be at record levels and total fiscal 2022 annual revenue to be at the low end of the guidance provided with adjusted ebitda being slightly better than 15% of revenue as stated before. dave wood, chief financial officer, commented, “we remain encouraged with the results of fiscal year 2022 with profitability and recurring revenue growth continuing as significant strengths. q3 fiscal 2022 was our highest top line revenue quarter since the pandemic started close to two years ago. supply chain and labor shortages continue to be a challenge to top line revenue. in addition, a recent accelerating shift from on premise to saas based solutions, a welcome trend for our long-term business health, has created a drag on top line revenue sooner than we anticipated. our investment in building world class saas products through the downturn in the markets we serve is driving the record backlog levels we have seen during the last few quarters. as the industry continues to recover and the residual challenges are addressed, we expect our increasing investments in sales and marketing to result in sustained revenue growth and profitability levels.” 2022 third quarter conference call and webcast agilysys is hosting a conference call and webcast today, january 25, 2022, at 4:30 p.m. et. both the call and the webcast are open

materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements. therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements. important factors that could cause our actual results and

release, certain non-gaap financial measures as defined by the sec rules are used. these non-gaap financial measures include ebitda, adjusted ebitda, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow. management believes that such information can enhance investors’ understanding of the company’s ongoing operations. the company has included the following non-gaap financial measures in this press release: adjusted ebitda, adjusted net income, adjusted basic earnings per share, adjusted diluted earnings per share, and free cash flow. the company believes these non-gaap financial measures provide valuable insight into the company’s overall profitability from core operations before certain non-cash and non-recurring charges. the company defines adjusted net income as net income before amortization expense (including amortization of developed technology), share-based compensation, convertible preferred stock issuance costs, and one-time charges including severance and other charges, impairments and legal settlements, less the related income tax effect of these adjustments, as applicable, and defines adjusted earnings per share as adjusted net income divided by basic and diluted weighted average shares outstanding. free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities, less capital expenditures. see the accompanying tables below for the definitions and reconciliation of these non-gaap measures to the most closely related gaap measures. about agilysys agilysys has been a leader
