Share-Based Payment Arrangement, Noncash Expense [Abstract] |
Share-based Compensation | 9. Share-based Compensation We may grant incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, SSARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, and performance shares under our shareholder-approved Amended and Restated 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the 2024 Plan). We have equity awards outstanding under the 2024 Plan and under our prior 2020 Equity Incentive Plan, as Amended and Restated (the 2020 Plan, together with the 2024 Plan, the Equity Incentive Plans). The maximum aggregate number of common shares available for issuance under the Equity Incentive Plans is 3.2 million. We may also grant shares under our shareholder-approved Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the ESPP) for up to 0.5 million common shares. We may distribute authorized but unissued shares or treasury shares to satisfy share option and SSAR exercises or grants of restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, or ESPP shares. For SSARs, the exercise price must be set at least equal to the closing market price of our common shares on the date of grant. The maximum term of SSARs is seven years from the date of grant. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors establishes the vesting period over which SSARs are subject to a service condition and the vesting criteria for SSARs subject to a market condition. Restricted shares and restricted stock units, whether time-vested or performance-based, may be issued at no cost or at a purchase price that may be below their fair market value, but are subject to forfeiture and restrictions on their sale or other transfer. Performance-based grants may be conditioned upon the attainment of specified performance objectives and other conditions, restrictions, and contingencies. Restricted shares have the right to receive dividends, if any, upon vesting, subject to the same forfeiture provisions that apply to the underlying grants. We record compensation expense related to SSARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, and ESPP shares granted to certain employees and non-employee directors based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date. The fair value of restricted stock unit and restricted share grants subject only to a service condition is based on the closing price of our common shares on the grant date. For stock option and SSAR grants subject only 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 use the simplified method for SSAR grants because we believe historical exercise data does not provide a reasonable basis upon which to estimate the expected term. For restricted stock unit, restricted share, and 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, share price threshold, performance period term and assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate and expected volatility of our common shares based on historical volatility. Inputs for SSAR grants subject to a market condition also include exercise price, remaining contractual term, and suboptimal exercise factor. We record compensation expense for restricted stock units, restricted shares, and SSAR grants subject to a service condition using the graded vesting method. We record compensation expense for ESPP shares on a straight-line basis over the applicable offering period. We record compensation expense for SSAR grants subject only to a market condition over the derived service period, which is an output of the lattice option pricing model. The following table summarizes the share-based compensation expense for grants included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Stock-Settled Appreciation Rights SSARs are rights granted to an employee to receive value equal to the difference between the price of our common shares on the date of exercise and the exercise price. The value is settled in common shares of Agilysys, Inc. There were no SSARs granted during the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The following table summarizes the activity during the three months ended June 30, 2026 for SSARs awarded under our Equity Incentive Plans:

As of June 30, 2026, there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to SSARs. Restricted Shares We granted shares to certain of our Directors, executives and key employees, the vesting of which is service-based. The following table summarizes the activity during the three months ended June 30, 2026 for restricted shares awarded under our Equity Incentive Plans:
|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
|  |  |  |  | (per share) |
Outstanding at April 1, 2026 |  |  | 74,792 |  |  | $ | 94.58 |
Granted |  |  | 7,570 |  |  |  | 79.25 |
Vested |  |  | (11,141 | ) |  |  | 76.92 |
Forfeited |  |  | (375 | ) |  |  | 90.85 |
Expected to vest at June 30, 2026 |  |  | 70,846 |  |  | $ | 95.75 |
As of June 30, 2026, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares was $1.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average vesting period of 0.8 years. Restricted Stock Units We granted restricted stock units to certain of our Directors, executives and key employees, the vesting of which is service-based. Certain restricted stock units are also subject to a market condition. The following table summarizes the activity during three months ended June 30, 2026 for restricted stock units awarded under our Equity Incentive Plans:
|  | Number of Shares |  |  | Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value |
|  |  |  |  | (per share) |
Outstanding at April 1, 2026 |  |  | 290,955 |  |  | $ | 128.87 |
Granted |  |  | 89,298 |  |  |  | 77.51 |
Vested |  |  | (7,091 | ) |  |  | 103.36 |
Forfeited |  |  | (2,074 | ) |  |  | 130.85 |
Expected to vest at June 30, 2026 |  |  | 371,088 |  |  | $ | 116.99 |
We use a lattice option pricing model to estimate the fair value of restricted stock units subject to a market condition. There were no restricted stock units subject to a market condition granted in fiscal 2026. The following table summarizes the principal valuation assumptions utilized and the resulting fair value of restricted stock units subject to a market condition granted in fiscal 2027:
|  | 2026 |
Risk-free interest rate over contractual term |  |  | 4.2 | %
Expected volatility |  |  | 49.0 | %
Weighted-average grant date fair value |  | $60.33 - $73.76 |
As of June 30, 2026, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to non-vested restricted stock units was $25.4 million, which is expected to be recognized over the weighted-average vesting period of 2.3 years. 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 7,570 common shares to our Chief Executive Officer in May 2026 that vested immediately for a total value of $0.6 million. Employee Stock Purchase Plan Shares The ESPP permits participants to purchase common stock through regular payroll deductions, up to a specified percentage of their eligible compensation. The ESPP is compensatory because, among other provisions, it currently allows participants to purchase stock at up to a 15% discount from the lower of the closing price of a share of our common stock on the first or last trading day of the ESPP offering period. We measure share-based compensation expense for the ESPP based on the fair value of the ESPP grant at the beginning of the offering period. The fair value includes the value of the discount and the value associated with the call and put options that take advantage of the variability in the common stock price during the offering period. We estimate the value of the call and put options using the Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model with inputs including the closing market price of our common stock on the first date of the offering period and assumptions regarding the risk-free interest rate, expected term, and expected volatility of our common shares over the offering period based on historical volatility. We used the following inputs including principal assumptions for the following offering period reflected in our consolidated financial statements:
|  | Offering Period Ended |  |  | Offering Period Ended |  |  | Offering Period Ended |
|  | June 30, 2026 |  |  | December 31, 2025 |  |  | June 30, 2025 |
Grant date fair value |  | $ | 118.84 |  |  | $ | 115.19 |  |  | $ | 131.71 |
Risk-free interest rate over contractual term |  |  | 3.62 | % |  |  | 4.30 | % |  |  | 4.31 | %
Expected term (in years) |  |  | 0.49 |  |  |  | 0.50 |  |  |  | 0.49 |
Expected volatility |  |  | 45.17 | % |  |  | 60.10 | % |  |  | 42.40 | %
The risk-free interest rate is based on the yield of a zero coupon U.S. Treasury bond whose maturity period approximates the expected term of the ESPP shares. The expected term is the offering period, which is typically six months. We record amounts withheld from participants during each offering period in accrued salaries, wages and related benefits in the consolidated balance sheets until such shares are purchased. Amounts withheld from participants for the offering period ended June 30, 2026 totaled $0.7 million as of June 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2026, there was no unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to the offering period ended June 30, 2026.
