Thank you, Valerie. Good morning and thanks to everyone listening on today's call to review our unaudited fiscal 2012 third quarter results. Joining me today is Chief Financial Officer Robb Ellis.
Before we get started, I'd like to remind our call participants that we will be using a slide presentation as the basis for this review. And if they've not already done so, they can access the slide deck from the Investor Relations section of our website at www.agilysys.com.
Also during today's conference call, we will be discussing non-GAAP financial data, namely adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations to GAAP are provided at the end of the presentation, as well as in the press release issued this morning.
Before we begin a discussion of our quarterly results, I'd like to remind you also that as in previous quarters, we are reporting TSG's operating results, including the gain on the sale and its assets and liabilities as elements of a discontinued operation.
Turning to the quarterly results, consolidated revenue from continuing operations declined during the quarter to $51.6 million from last year's $59 million, primarily due to lower hardware related revenue.
The quarter was characterized by continued positive results from initiatives to shift the business into higher-quality revenues and into more recurring revenues. This initiative delivered an overall revenue mix containing a higher proportion of recurring revenue contracts. Secondly, this initiative drove gross margin expansion by 620 basis points during the quarter to 38.6%. In addition, we managed the expense side of our business more effectively and realized lower cost on the services we provided during the period.
As a result of improved expense management, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $2 million to $20.4 million from $22.4 million last year. Depreciation and amortization increased $1.3 million due to the acceleration of depreciation related to our property and equipment located in Solon, Ohio, which we will be vacating by fiscal year end.
On an operating basis, the company reported a loss of $7 million for the quarter compared with a loss of $5.3 million in the same quarter last year. Excluding $3.2 million in restructuring charges and the $1.3 million in extraordinary depreciation and amortization during the quarter, the operating loss from continued operations for the fiscal 2012 third quarter would have narrowed to $2.5 million, a $2.8 million improvement over the same quarter last year.
Adjusted EBITDA, excluding restructuring and one-time charges, was breakeven versus last year's $3.1 million loss. The loss from continuing operations, including the $3.2 million of restructuring charges, was $5.8 million or $0.26 per share, compared with a loss of $2.3 million or $0.10 per share last year. The one-time items account for $0.20 per share of the reported $0.26 per share loss.
With that, I'll turn the call over to Robb for a review of the segments, balance sheet, and fiscal year-to-date results.
