Scientific Games Reports Second Quarter 2017 Results and Announces Intent to Refinance a Portion of its Debt

LAS VEGAS, July 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games" or the "Company"), today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2017 and announced plans to take advantage of favorable market conditions to refinance a portion of its debt to lower cash interest costs, extend debt maturities, and generally lower its cost of capital.

    --  Second quarter revenue rose 5 percent to $766.3 million, up from $729.2
        million a year ago. The growth was driven by revenue increases in the
        gaming and interactive segments. Foreign exchange had an $8.0 million,
        or 1 percent, unfavorable impact on revenue.


    --  Operating income in the second quarter doubled to $117.3 million from
        $59.1 million a year ago, reflecting revenue growth, a more effective
        organizational structure and lower depreciation and amortization. Net
        loss declined to $39.1 million from $51.7 million in the prior-year
        period, reflecting the increase in operating income and a $14.1 million
        decrease in net interest expense, partially offset by a $26.0 million
        increase in the income tax provision. In addition, the prior year
        included a $25.2 million gain on early extinguishment of debt.


    --  Attributable EBITDA ("AEBITDA"), a non-GAAP financial measure defined
        below, increased 13 percent to $314.8 million from $279.7 million a year
        ago driven by higher revenue and a more effective organizational
        structure, which was partially offset by $7.7 million of lower EBITDA
        from equity investments.  The AEBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial
        measure defined below, improved to 41.1 percent from 38.4 percent in the
        prior-year period.
    --  Net cash flow from operating activities increased $77.7 million to
        $168.5 million, from $90.8 million a year ago. The primary driver was a
        $61.4 million increase in net income after adjustments for non-cash
        items, reflecting operating improvements across the Company.

"Second quarter results represent our seventh quarter of consecutive year-over-year growth, including $169 million of cash flow from operating activities, as a result of ongoing improvements in our gaming, lottery and interactive operations," said Kevin Sheehan, Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Games. "We achieved year-over-year revenue growth in global gaming machine sales, gaming systems, table products and interactive; as well as in U.S. instant games revenue. In addition, as a result of our improving organizational structure, we increased our AEBITDA margin by 270 basis points.

"Across the Company, we are maintaining a laser focus on executing our strategies and capitalizing on our many opportunities," Sheehan added. "I am proud of all of our dedicated team members who daily commit themselves to empower our customers with the best gaming and lottery experiences in the world, while remaining focused on delivering our financial goals."

Michael Quartieri, Chief Financial Officer of Scientific Games, added, "Our focus on innovative new products, continuous process improvement and fiscal discipline have enabled us to grow operating income and cash flow, leading to a reduction in our net debt. This has resulted in our net debt leverage ratio at June 30, 2017 declining to 6.8 times twelve-month AEBITDA. With our strengthened performance, we are well positioned to further improve our capital structure and lower our cost of capital."

    AEBITDA margin               49.6%            45.6%

    (1)   Gaming operations revenue is included in services revenue, gaming machine sales revenue is included in product sales revenue, and portions of gaming
        systems and table products revenue are included in both services revenue and product sales revenue.


    (2)   AEBITDA in the 2017 and 2016 second quarter periods included $1.5 million and $1.9 million, respectively, of EBITDA from equity investments in International Terminal Leasing ("ITL") and Roberts Communications Network, LLC ("RCN").

    --  Total gaming revenue increased $15.3 million, or 3 percent, compared to
        the year-ago period, inclusive of a $4.9 million unfavorable foreign
        exchange impact.


    --  Operating income improved $39.2 million to $85.9 million. The increase
        primarily reflected the benefit of the higher revenue and a more
        profitable business mix, along with lower depreciation and amortization
        compared to the 2016 second quarter. In the prior year, selling, general
        and administrative expense included the benefit from $7.5 million of
        insurance proceeds related to settlement of a legal matter.


    --  AEBITDA increased to $226.9 million with an AEBITDA margin of 49.6
        percent, reflecting the higher revenue and more profitable business mix
        compared to the prior year.


    --  Gaming operations revenue declined $7.6 million, or 4 percent, largely
        reflecting a year-over-year decrease in the installed base of WAP,
        premium, and daily-fee participation gaming machines.  On a quarterly
        sequential basis, gaming operations revenue grew $6.1 million, or 4
        percent, including the benefit from a 1,191-unit increase in the
        installed base of other leased and participation gaming machines due to
        the placement of additional VLTs at New York gaming facilities and the
        ongoing roll-out of VLTs in Greece. On a quarterly sequential basis,
        revenue from WAP, premium and daily-fee participation units was
        essentially flat, as a $1.08 increase in the average daily revenue per
        unit, partially reflecting the strong performance of the innovative
        Gamescape(TM) cabinet, offset a 187-unit decline of older units in the
        installed footprint of WAP, premium, and daily-fee participation units.


    --  Gaming machine sales revenue increased $8.9 million, or 6 percent, year
        over year, despite no new casino openings, primarily reflecting a
        24-percent increase in shipments of U.S. and Canadian replacement gaming
        machines. The average sales price increased to $17,550 from $16,859 in
        the prior year, reflecting a favorable mix of units.  U.S. and Canadian
        shipments totaled 4,367 gaming machines, including 3,773 replacement
        units and 594 VGTs for the Illinois market. In the prior-year period,
        U.S. and Canadian shipments totaled 4,678 units, which comprised 3,037
        replacement units, 431 VLTs to Oregon, 470 units for new casino openings
        and expansions, and 740 VGTs for the Illinois market. International
        shipments increased 421 units, or 14 percent, to 3,411 units, including
        54 units for new casino openings, up from a total of 2,990 units in the
        prior year, which had included 125 units for new casino openings.


    --  Gaming systems revenue increased 13 percent to $67.1 million, primarily
        reflecting an increase in software and hardware sales, including
        shipment of innovative new iVIEW4 player-interface display units, and
        the installation of new systems at the ilani tribal casino, the Baha Mar
        Resort and the Aliante Casino Hotel.
    --  Table products revenue increased 15 percent to $48.4 million,
        principally reflecting growth in leased shufflers, proprietary table
        games, and progressives, including a benefit from the acquisition of DEQ
        Systems Corp. completed on January 18, 2017.

    --  Total lottery revenue decreased $1.6 million, or 1 percent, inclusive of
        a $2.2 million unfavorable foreign exchange impact compared to the
        year-ago period.


    --  Operating income increased $12.4 million, primarily reflecting a more
        profitable business mix coupled with lower selling, general and
        administrative expense and lower depreciation and amortization.


    --  AEBITDA was essentially flat at $95.6 million compared to $95.2 million
        in the prior year, primarily reflecting a more profitable business mix
        and lower selling, general and administrative expense, offset by $7.3
        million of lower EBITDA from equity investments, which had benefited in
        the prior-year period from a multi-year, value-added tax credit at our
        LNS joint venture. The AEBITDA margin increased to 47.3 percent, largely
        reflecting a more profitable business mix and lower selling, general and
        administrative expense.


    --  Instant games revenue decreased $1.5 million, as a $4.9 million, or 5
        percent, increase in U.S. revenue was offset by a $6.4 million decline
        in international revenue, reflecting unfavorable timing of instant game
        launches in markets with price-per-unit contracts and an unfavorable
        foreign exchange impact of $1.8 million. During the second quarter, the
        Company won a four-year contract, with two two-year extension options to
        continue to provide the New Hampshire Lottery with instant games and
        services, and more recently won a six-year contract, with two extension
        options for up to four more years, to continue to be the primary
        supplier of instant games and services to Colorado.


    --  Services revenue decreased $2.9 million, primarily reflecting lower
        retail sales of multi-state games compared to sales in the prior year,
        and lower international revenue primarily due to an unfavorable foreign
        exchange impact of $0.4 million.  During the quarter, the Company signed
        a new eight-year contract with the Maryland Lottery to provide systems
        and services.
    --  Product sales revenue increased $2.8 million, primarily reflecting
        higher U.S. and international hardware sales.

    --  Total interactive revenue grew 28 percent to $106.8 million, primarily
        reflecting a 32 percent increase in social gaming B2C revenue due to the
        ongoing popularity and growth of Jackpot Party® Social Casino, coupled
        with the success of more recent apps, such as the introduction of the 88
        Fortunes app in the first quarter of 2017, and the acquisition of
        Spicerack Media, Inc. completed on April 7, 2017, which included the
        Bingo Showdown app.


    --  Operating income increased 37 percent to $18.8 million, primarily
        reflecting the higher revenue. Selling, general and administrative
        expense and research and development expense increased primarily due to
        higher marketing expenses to support ongoing growth and pre-launch game
        development expenses.
    --  AEBITDA rose 35 percent to $24.6 million and AEBITDA margin increased to
        23.0 percent, primarily reflecting higher revenue and improved operating
        leverage, partially offset by increased marketing costs and ongoing
        development initiatives underlying the rapid growth.

    --  Net cash flow from operating activities increased $77.7 million to
        $168.5 million, inclusive of approximately $6.0 million of cash payments
        related to the business improvement initiatives implemented in the 2016
        fourth quarter.  The primary driver was a $61.4 million increase in net
        income after adjustment for non-cash items included in net loss.


    --  The change in deferred income taxes and other is a result of the
        valuation allowance on our deferred taxes.


    --  The change in working capital accounts was primarily driven by a $2.9
        million decrease in accounts and notes receivables primarily due to the
        timing of orders and an $8.0 million decrease in inventories, partially
        offset by a $5.3 million unfavorable net impact from changes in other
        current assets and liabilities.


    --  Capital expenditures totaled $78.9 million for the quarter. For 2017,
        the Company continues to expect capital expenditures will be within a
        range of $280-$310 million, based on existing contractual obligations
        and planned investments.
    --  The Company announced today an intent to capitalize on its improved
        financials and favorable market conditions by initiating a process to
        amend and extend its existing term loans, with the stated purpose of
        reducing cash interest cost and extending the maturity out to 2024.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures: AEBITDA, AEBITDA margin, free cash flow, EBITDA from equity investments, net debt and net debt leverage ratio (each, as described more fully below). These non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental disclosures. They should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Specifically, the Company's management uses AEBITDA to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company's business operations; (ii) facilitate management's internal comparisons of the Company's historical operating performance; and (iii) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and operating budgets. In addition, the Company's management uses AEBITDA and AEBITDA margin to facilitate management's external comparisons of the Company's results to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels. The Company's management uses EBITDA from equity investments to monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company's equity investments. The Company's management uses net debt and net debt leverage ratio in monitoring and evaluating the Company's overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage.
The Company's management believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide investors with information regarding the Company's financial condition and operating performance that is an integral part of management's reporting and planning processes. In particular, the Company's management believes that AEBITDA, both on a consolidated and business segment basis, is helpful because this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effects of restructuring, transaction, integration or other items that management believes have less bearing on the Company's ongoing underlying operating performance. Management believes AEBITDA margin, both on a consolidated and business segment basis, is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows an evaluation of the performance of our ongoing business operations and provides insight into the cash operating income margins generated from our business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. Moreover, management believes AEBITDA and EBITDA from equity investments are useful to investors because the Company's Lottery business is also conducted through a number of equity investments, and those measures eliminate financial items from the equity investees' earnings that management believes have less bearing on the equity investees' performance. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information regarding the Company's liquidity and its ability to service debt and fund investments. Management also believes that free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides them with an important perspective on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment and necessary license payments to support the Company's ongoing business operations and taking into account cash flows relating to the Company's equity investments. Management believes that net debt and net debt leverage ratio are useful for investors in evaluating the Company's overall liquidity.

AEBITDA

AEBITDA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure and is reconciled to net income (loss) as the directly comparable GAAP measure, which is further reconciled to operating income (loss) by business segment, as set forth in the schedules titled "Reconciliation of Net Loss to Attributable EBITDA" below. We also present AEBITDA by business segment in this earnings release. AEBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. AEBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
AEBITDA, as used herein, is reconciled to net income (loss) in the following table and includes our net loss with the following adjustments: (1) interest; (2) income taxes; (3) depreciation and amortization expense and impairment charges (including goodwill impairment charges); (4) restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) management changes; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) M&A and other, which includes: (a) M&A transaction costs, (b) purchase accounting, (c) unusual items (including certain legal settlements), and (d) other non-cash items; and (v) cost savings initiatives; and (5) stock-based compensation. In addition to the preceding adjustments, we exclude earnings from equity method investments and add (without duplication) our pro rata share of the EBITDA of our equity investments.
In the third quarter of 2016, we simplified our reconciliation of AEBITDA on a prospective basis. This change does not modify our calculation or definition of AEBITDA or the items that are included as adjustments. This presentation change merely consolidates the amounts previously included in adjustments (4) and (6) above, which were previously reported as two separate line items ("M&A and other charges (incl. purchase accounting)" and "Employee termination and restructuring"), into a single line item ("Restructuring and other") in order to align with our GAAP financial statement presentation.

AEBITDA Margin

AEBITDA margin, as used herein, represents our AEBITDA (as defined above) for the three- and six-month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, each calculated as a percentage of revenue. AEBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosures for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net loss in a schedule below. We also present AEBITDA margin by business segment in this release. These amounts are reconciled to consolidated net income (loss) as the nearest GAAP measure, which is further reconciled to operating income (loss) by operating segment.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, as used herein, represents net cash provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures (which includes lottery and gaming systems expenditures and other intangible assets and software expenditures), less payments on license obligations, less additions to equity investments plus distributions of capital on equity investments. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities in a schedule below.

EBITDA from Equity Investments

EBITDA from equity investments, as used herein, represents our share of the EBITDA (i.e., earnings (whether or not distributed to us) plus income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense and interest (income) expense, net of other) of our joint ventures and minority investees. EBITDA from equity investments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to earnings from equity investments in a schedule below.

Net Debt and Net Debt Leverage Ratio

Net debt is defined as total principal face value of debt outstanding less cash and cash equivalents. Net debt leverage ratio, as used herein, represents net debt divided by AEBITDA (as defined above) for the trailing twelve-month period.
