Liquidity Discussions

As of March 31, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand was $35.3 million, and the Company had working capital in addition to cash of $14.7 million. The Company recorded a net loss of $5.7 million and $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net income/losses include non-cash stock-based compensation of $2.3 million and $2.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Historically, the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows provided by operations amounted to $3.6 million and $11.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Management currently believes that the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through May 2025.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The financial information as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024. The financial information for the three months ended March 31, 2023 is derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three months ended March 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. The interim results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim periods.

2. Allowance for Credit Losses

Changes in the allowance for credit losses are as follows:

3. Inventory

Inventory consists of the following:

Component parts include parts for gaming terminals. Our finished goods inventory primarily consists of gaming terminals which are ready for sale.

4. Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses

Accounts payable and accrued expenses consist of the following:

5. Contract Related Disclosures

The following table summarizes contract related balances:

Revenue recognized that was included in the deferred income balance at the beginning of the period amounted to $1.9 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

For the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 respectively, therewas no significant amounts ofrevenue recognized as a result of changes in contract transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied in the respective prior periods.

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

At March 31, 2024, the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts expected to be greater than one year, or performance obligations for which we do not have a right to consideration from the customer in the amount that corresponds to the value to the customer for our performance completed to date, variable consideration which is not accounted for in accordance with the sales-based or usage-based royalties guidance, or contracts which are not wholly unperformed, is approximately $102.6 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize as revenue approximately 30% through December 31, 2024, approximately 50% through December 31, 2026, and the remaining 20% through December 31, 2029.

6. Stock-Based Compensation

A summary of the Company’s restricted stock unit (“RSU”) activity during the three months ended March 31, 2024 is as follows:

The Company issued a total of 340,735 shares during the three months ended March 31, 2024, in connection with the Company’s equity-based plans, which included an aggregate of 333,161 shares issued in connection with the net settlement of RSUs that vested during the prior year (on December 29, 2023).

7. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (Income)

The accumulated balances for each classification of comprehensive loss (income) are presented below:

In connection with the issuance of Senior Secured Notes and the entry into a Revolving Credit Facility (“RCF”) Agreement (the “RCF Agreement”), on May 19, 2021, the Company terminated all of its interest rate swaps. Accordingly, hedge accounting is no longer applicable. The amounts previously recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income are amortized into Interest expense over the terms of the hedged forecasted interest payments. Losses reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Income for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023 amounted to $0.0 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

8. Net Earnings (Loss) per Share

Basic income/loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income/loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and RSUs, unless the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

The computation of diluted EPS excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because they were either contingently issuable shares or because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

There were no reconciling items for the three months ended March 31, 2024 or March 31, 2023.

The calculation of Basic EPS includes the effects of 1,840,165 and 1,893,136 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with respect to RSU awards that have vested but have not yet been issued.

9. Other Finance Income (Expense)

Other finance income (expense) consisted of the following:

10. Income Taxes

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was 27.4% and 13.2%, respectively, resulting in a $2.2 million and $0.2 million income tax benefit, respectively.

The effective tax rate reported in any given year will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors, including the level of pre-tax income or loss, the income mix between jurisdictions, and any discrete items that may occur.

The Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both March 31, 2024 and 2023. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. However, given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next 12 months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

11. Related Parties

Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty Limited (UK Branch) (“Macquarie UK”) (an arranger and lending party under our RCF Agreement) is an affiliate of MIHI LLC, which beneficially owned approximately 11.4% of our common stock as of March 31, 2024.

12. Leases

Certain of our arrangements include leases for equipment installed at customer locations. As the lessor, we combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in arrangements that involve operating leases. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC 606,Revenue from Contracts with Customers based on the consideration that the non-lease components are the predominant items in the arrangements. If a component cannot be combined, the consideration is allocated between the lease component and the non-lease component based on relative standalone selling price. The lease component is accounted for under ASC 842,Leasesand the non-lease component is accounted for under ASC 606.

Lease income from operating leases and from sales type leases is not material for any of the periods presented.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

Employment Agreements

We are party to employment agreements with our executive officers and other employees of the Company and our subsidiaries which contain, among other terms, provisions relating to severance and notice requirements.

Legal Matters

From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company believes that, currently, it has no such matters that are material, there can be no assurance that existing or new matters arising in the ordinary course of business will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

14. Pension Plan

We operate a defined contribution plan in the US, and both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes in the UK. The defined contribution scheme assets are held separately from those of the Company in independently administered funds.

Defined Benefit Pension Scheme

The defined benefit scheme has been closed to new entrants since April 1, 1999 and closed to future accruals for services rendered to the Company for the entire financial statement periods presented. The Actuarial Valuation of the scheme as at March 31, 2021, determined that the statutory funding objective was not met, i.e., there were insufficient assets to cover the scheme’s technical provisions and there was a funding shortfall.

In June 2022, a recovery plan was put in place to eliminate the funding shortfall. The plan expects the shortfall to be eliminated by October 31, 2026.

The following table presents the components of our net periodic pension cost:

15. Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

The Company operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are managed and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated.

The following tables present revenue, cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related transaction expenses, operating profit/(loss), and total capital expenditures for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and March 31, 2023, respectively, by business segment. Certain unallocated corporate function costs have not been allocated to the Company’s reportable operating segments because these costs are not allocable and to do so would not be practical. Corporate function costs consist primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures relating to corporate/shared functions.
