Inspired Entertainment, Inc. Reports Full Year 2017 Results - First Year In US Public Markets

NEW YORK, Dec. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Inspired Entertainment, Inc. ("Inspired") (NASDAQ: INSE) today reported financial results for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. As previously announced, management will host a conference call at 10:00 a.m. ET / 3:00 p.m. GMT today, to discuss the full year results and general business trends; access details are provided below.

"Our full year results are reflective of the strides the business has made operationally since the merger," said Inspired Executive Chairman Lorne Weil. Mr. Weil continued, "through our SBG and Virtual Sports rollouts in Greece, our progress in gaining market acceptance of Virtual Sports in North America and the integration of our worldwide team, we believe Inspired is poised for its next stage of growth."

"We are pleased with our full year results," said Inspired President and Chief Executive Officer, Luke Alvarez. Mr. Alvarez continued, "We delivered solid growth in both of our key business lines, we added new US and European customers and we launched into multiple new geographies. We are particularly pleased with our results in Greece, where our SBG terminals and games are amongst the strongest in the market and our Virtual Sports have created a large new source of regulated income for our lottery customer." Mr. Alvarez concluded, "During fiscal year 2017 we signed our first US lottery contract for Virtual Sports, and in the last few days we have gone live with our first online Virtual Sports deployments in New Jersey. At G2E, we announced our new 1st Down Virtual Football game, which we expect to launch with key US customers in 2018. Progress across all our business is strong - UK, rest-of-world and US; land-based and mobile; SBG; and Virtual Sports - and we are optimistic about our prospects for fiscal 2018."

Fiscal 2017 and Recent Highlights

    --  Extended VLT Order in Greece to 5,360 SBG VLTs with OPAP - Following the
        strong game performance of Inspired's initial deployment of SBG VLTs,
        OPAP recently awarded Inspired an additional 1,400 VLTs which are
        expected to be installed into OPAP lottery and gaming venues during the
        first calendar half of 2018.  To date, Inspired has supplied 4,360 SBG
        VLTs to OPAP, of which over 2,700 are now live as part of OPAP's
        continued deployment of VLTs into its retail network.
    --  Greek Virtual Soccer Success - Inspired's premium Rush Football 2
        (soccer) Virtual Sports product, already live over the counter in over
        4,000 OPAP lottery stores, has now launched on Self Service Betting
        Terminals in 500 OPAP venues, rising to 800 venues by the end of the
        2017.  After the opening launch of soccer, additional sports and markets
        are expected to follow during 2018.
    --  Strategic Partnership with Novomatic in Greece - Inspired recently
        announced that it is collaborating with Novomatic to exclusively deliver
        Novomatic's leading games on Inspired's SBG platform to OPAP. There are
        now five Novomatic games live on Inspired's terminals in Greece with
        more to follow, alongside new Inspired games, in 2018. Novomatic and
        Inspired are working to extend this partnership to other markets in
        2018.
    --  Virtual Sports Progress in the US - During fiscal year 2017 Inspired
        announced that it had entered into an agreement with the Michigan Bureau
        of State Lottery to supply its Virtual Events lottery products online.
        During the last week of November 2017, Inspired's Virtual Sports
        products received approval from the Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE)
        in New Jersey and five of Inspired's Virtual Sports are now available
        for online and mobile distribution in the State. Inspired's contracted
        operator partners in New Jersey include Caesars, Resorts, Golden Nugget,
        Rush Street, Bwin Borgata, Betfair, and Pala Interactive. Inspired's new
        1st Down Virtual Football is expected to launch with key US customers in
        2018.
    --  Betfred Retail SBG and Virtuals Agreement Expanded - Betfred recently
        extended Inspired's UK SBG contract for an additional 5 years, and
        awarded Inspired over 1,250 additional SBG terminals previously operated
        by another supplier; following on from this, Inspired has also extended
        and expanded its Virtual Sports agreement with Betfred. The extension
        provides for the supply of two new channels of Virtual Sports content to
        Betfred's betting shop estate.  Following this extension, Betfred
        customers will be able to wager in approximately 1,700 venues on a race
        from Inspired every minute. Inspired has also extended and expanded its
        Virtual Sports retail presence in other UK retail operators including
        William Hill, Paddy Power and 49's and in the Republic of Ireland with
        Boylesports.
    --  Mobile RGS Success - Inspired's Mobile and online business grew strongly
        in the year, adding multiple new games and new customers live on its
        Virgo RGS. Customers now live with Inspired's premium mobile slots and
        on demand Rush Go! Virtual sports games include William Hill, Ladbrokes,
        Gala Coral, Betfred, Mr. Green, Bet 365, Leovegas, SkyBingo and MyBet. 
        Games from Inspired have also recently gone live with leading European
        online operators including Betfair, GVC brands Bwin, Sportingbet,
        PartyCasino, and Rank brands Grosvenor Casino and Mecca Bingo. In
        addition we expect a number of other operators to launch before the end
        of December.
    --  Retail Virtuals Expansion across Europe and Asia - During calendar 2017,
        Inspired's Virtual Sports expanded in a number of new lottery and
        betting retail customers and countries: key launches and wins include:
        --  In Italy, launching its new Football Matchday (soccer) product in
            Snai, Sisal and Eurobet venues, as well as new customer launches
            into Betaland and Goldbet venues;
        --  Being selected as Virtual Sports supplier to the Finnish national
            lottery and betting agency, Veikkaus;
        --  Going live with its Virtual Sports games in Poland with Central
            Europe's largest betting operator, Fortuna;

            operator Superbet to supply Virtual Sports across both retail and
            digital channels until 2020;
        --  Announcing an exclusive deal with LT Game Macau, one of the leading
            gaming and casino providers in the Asia Pacific region, which is
            expected to lead to the deployment of Virtual Sports content to LT
            Game's ETG self-service terminals in Macau.

Management Outlook and Commentary

We currently expect Adjusted EBITDA for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2018 to be between $54 million and $58 million, assuming a stable exchange rate environment. This guidance is driven by our current backlog of new business and organic growth in existing contracts in combination with the operating leverage inherent in our business. Accordingly, we expect to realize Adjusted EBITDA margin expansion of approximately 300 bps between fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2018.

Overview of Consolidated Full Year Results (as compared to prior year)

In the discussion below, certain data may vary from the amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements due to rounding.

From 2016 to 2017, total revenue increased by $2.8 million, or 2.3%, to $122.5 million. Adverse currency movements had an impact of $16.6 million, resulting in a constant currency increase of $19.4 million, or 16.2%.

SBG revenue, which is included in total revenue, increased by $14.6 million, or 16.9%, on a constant currency basis, comprised of growth in hardware sales of $9.4 million and service revenue of $5.3 million. On a reported basis, SBG revenue increased by $2.6 million, or 3.0%, due to adverse currency movements.

SBG hardware revenue growth was driven by SBG sales in the Greek, UK and Colombian markets of $6.1 million, $2.5 million and $3.7 million respectively. SBG hardware revenue grew by $9.4 million on a constant currency basis, or 123.8%. On a reported basis, SBG hardware revenue increased by $7.5 million, or 98.7%, due to adverse currency movements.

SBG service revenue increased by $5.3 million on a constant currency basis, or 6.7%, as a result of the rollout of terminals in Greece, growth in Gross Win per unit per day incomes for UK LBOs, increased volume for non-UK LBOs and a software license sale into the Greek market ("Gross Win per unit per day" is defined as stake less amounts returned to the player in prize, before gaming tax deductions). These increases were partially offset by changes in contract terms for two key UK customers in conjunction with extensions to the end dates of those contracts without the need to make further capital investments. On a reported basis, SBG service revenue declined by $4.8 million, or 6.1%, due to adverse currency movements.

Virtual Sports revenue increased by $4.7 million on a constant currency basis, or 14.2%, driven mainly by a new customer in Greece, along with new customers in Italy, Poland and the UK, and an increase in revenue from existing customers. On a reported basis, Virtual Sports revenue was unchanged.

Reported net operating profit declined from a loss of $1.3 million to a loss of $11.9 million, due primarily to transaction expenses related to Inspired's acquisition by Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp. on December 23, 2016 and increases in stock-based compensation expense.

Net loss for the year from continuing operations improved from $59.9 million to $49.1 million, principally reflecting a reduction in interest expense and an offsetting increase in earnout liability pursuant to the aforementioned acquisition by Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp.

Adjusted EBITDA, which the Company considers an important underlying business performance measure, increased by 10.6% on a constant currency basis, or (2.3%) after foreign currency impact; after adjusting for incremental SG&A costs associated with the merger with Hydra Industries Acquisition Corp., Adjusted EBITDA increased by 22.0% on a constant currency basis, or 7.8% after foreign currency impact.

In 2017, total SBG revenue increased by $14.6 million on a constant currency basis, or 16.9%, to $89.1 million. On a reported basis, total SBG revenue increased by $2.6 million

SBG hardware revenue increased by $9.4 million on a constant currency basis, or 123.8%, to $15.0 million, principally due to additional SBG sales in Greece, the UK and Colombia of $6.1 million, $2.5 million and $3.7 million, respectively. This increase was partly offset by a high volume of 2016 SBG sales in the Electronic Table Gaming ("ETG") and Italian markets, equating to $1.2 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

SBG service revenue increased by $5.3 million on a constant currency basis, or 6.7%, to $74.1 million, due to the rollout of terminals into Greece. This rollout drove additional participation revenue of $1.1 million and other ongoing revenue of $0.8 million. In addition, in 2017 we completed a software license sale into the Greek market, generating revenue of $1.7 million.

UK LBO Customer Gross Win per unit per day grew by 3.5%, resulting in increased revenue of $1.9 million. An increased number of days in the period also increased revenue $1.2 million. These gains were offset by revised terms agreed in SBG contract extensions with two customers within our UK LBO and UK Casino and Bingo markets, representing revenue declines of $1.8 million and $1.5 million respectively. These contract extensions nevertheless allowed us to continue to generate revenue without the need to make further capital investments.

Overall, the size of our Average Installed Base increased 5.1%, to 27,666, due to our continued terminal rollout in Greece and continued market growth in the UK and Colombia.

On a constant currency basis, SBG operating profit increased by $3.1 million. On a reported basis, SBG operating profit decreased by $0.1 million, to $24.4 million, due to adverse currency impact.

In 2017, total Virtual Sports revenue increased by $4.7 million on a constant currency basis, or 14.2%, to $33.4 million. On a reported basis, total Virtual Sports revenue was virtually unchanged.

This increase in constant currency terms was principally the result of recurring revenue growth of $3.7 million in Virtual Sports land-based and online customers, due to the acquisition of Greece's OPAP as a new customer and new customers in Italy, Poland and the UK, as well as increased revenue from existing customers. The remainder of the increase arose from further RGS penetration into the mobile market, where the number of our customers increased from five to ten, and new game launches, resulting in an increase of $1.0 million.

The number of Virtual Sports live customers increased by eight, from 77 to 85, including new RGS customers. Average revenue per customer per day increased by £5, or 0.5%, from £870 to £875.

Virtual Sports operating profit increased by 26.7% on a constant currency basis; on reported basis, Virtual Sports operating profit increased by $1.7 million, or 11.1%, to $17.3 million.

Comparability of Results; Non-GAAP Measures

All figures presented in this news release are prepared under U.S. GAAP, unless noted otherwise. Adjusted figures exclude the impact of items such as legacy activities, restructuring expense, foreign exchange, and certain items considered to be outside the normal course of business, such as transaction-related items. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included in the tables in this news release.

Specific Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We utilize these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis and we believe that they are the most relevant measures of performance. We believe that these measures are commonly used in our industry to measure performance. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to U.S. GAAP-based financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for determining non-GAAP measures and, as such, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to measures used by other companies in our industry. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial measures.

EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments. Such additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension schemes. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, management changes, restructuring and integration (2) merger and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business. We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities). Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.

Adjusted Revenue (Revenue Excluding Nil Margin Hardware Sales) is defined as revenue excluding hardware sales that are sold at nil margin with the intention of securing longer term recurring revenue streams. For the years ending September 24, 2016 and earlier, this measure also removed analogue sales, on the basis that such sales were no longer considered part of our core business.

Constant Currency Measures - Currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP: USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as constant currency, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for constant currency movement.

Incremental Costs since Closing of Merger is a non-GAAP measure, defined as the incremental costs incurred as a result of becoming a public company, shown to allow comparability to the prior period when we were not a public company. They include costs associated with the Board of Directors and its committees and advisors, the remuneration of those who became employed or received increases as a result of the merger, SEC counsel costs, and costs associated with PCAOB audit compliance.
