Patrick Ramsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Games, commented, “We generated record financial and operating results in fiscal 2013 based on the growing acceptance of our expanding portfolio of for-sale and participation games as well as our further success in increasing the markets we can address. Revenue eclipsed $50 million for the first time in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter as we again deployed over 1,000 new revenue units, while full-year revenue neared $190 million driven by a 37% increase in our total new revenue units deployed to over 4,400 units. Year-over-year growth in EBITDA of 45% and 35% in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and full year periods, respectively, outpaced the year over year revenue growth, again reflecting the strong operating leverage in our business. Overall, the strong fiscal fourth quarter and full year performance demonstrates our team’s continued successful execution of our strategies for growth.
“Fiscal 2013 represented an important milestone for the Company as we began sales and placements in the country’s single largest gaming market. Our entry into Nevada significantly expands our total addressable market and initial results highlight the excellent entertainment value of our unique, award winning products. In addition, we recently completed technical trials in Nevada for our High Rise Games® series and are moving forward with placements of this exciting product.
“Gaming operations revenue grew approximately 18% year over year in both the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter and full year, marking a distinct contrast to regional gaming revenue trends. This strong performance reflects full year growth in our installed base of nearly 1,800 units, as well as a 3.6% rise in yield as the increase in geographic diversity for our products is exposing the Company to what we believe are higher yielding markets. Additionally, our premium participation games represented approximately 21% of our total non-Oklahoma installed base at year end, growing from 198 units at the start of the year to 878 units at September 30, 2013.”
Ramsey concluded, “While our fiscal 2013 results demonstrate the successful execution of our strategy, we are excited about the long-term opportunity to further expand the number of Multimedia Games slot machines on casino floors. We are just getting started in Nevada, Illinois and New Jersey and expect to generate revenues from Pennsylvania in early fiscal 2014. In addition, our focus on developing new games that deliver higher player satisfaction and generate solid returns on our customers’ investment should help us grow our floor share in existing markets. As such, we expect to extend our momentum in fiscal 2014 and achieve another year of solid financial results.”
Summary of Fiscal 2013 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Operating Results
Multimedia Games’ fiscal 2013 fourth quarter revenue rose 21.8%, or $9.0 million, to $50.4 million, compared to revenue of $41.4 million in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter. Fiscal 2013 fourth quarter revenue included approximately $34.9 million from gaming operations and approximately $14.3 million from gaming equipment and system sales, compared with $29.6 million from gaming operations and $11.4 million from gaming equipment and system sales in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter.
Gaming operations revenue in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter grew 17.9% to $34.9 million, primarily reflecting solid growth across the Company’s installed base of participation units. Multimedia Games’ fiscal 2013 fourth quarter-end installed base increased by 1,770 units, or 16.6%, from the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter and by 277 units, or 2.3%, on a quarterly sequential basis. Included in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter-end participation base were 878 premium participation units deployed outside of Oklahoma, an increase of 165 units, or 23.1%, on a quarterly sequential basis. Fiscal 2013 fourth quarter gaming operations revenue also benefited from a $0.2 million, or 5.8%, year-over-year rise in revenues related to the Company’s operation of the central determinant system for the New York Lottery.
Gaming equipment and system sales in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter increased 25.2% to $14.3 million from $11.4 million in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter. During the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter, the Company recorded revenue of $13.1 million related to the sale of 807 units into 17 markets and $1.1 million in revenue related to parts and equipment sales, compared to $9.9 million in revenue related to the sale of 538 new units and $844,000 related to parts and equipment sales in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter. There was $64,000 and $664,000 of deferred revenues for the sale of player stations and a system in a prior-year period recognized in the fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 fourth quarter periods, respectively.
Other revenue of $1.1 million in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter is primarily comprised of service revenue as well as the net profit from the Company’s inaugural National TournEvent of Champions® held in September 2013. Other revenue of $0.3 million in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter was comprised primarily of service revenue.
Total operating costs and expenses for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter rose $1.9 million, or 5.2%, to $37.3 million, compared to $35.5 million in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, driven primarily by the shift in timing of the industry’s annual trade show, the Global Gaming Expo, which fell in late September compared to early October last year. Total cost of goods sold increased by $1.1 million year over year reflecting the higher number of units sold and the hiring of additional field service personnel to maintain the installed base of participation games. SG&A expenses in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter increased 10.7% year over year, or $1.3 million, to $13.4 million, primarily reflecting the timing of the industry’s annual trade show. SG&A for the fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 fourth quarter periods includes non-cash stock compensation costs of approximately $1.1 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization was $9.8 million in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter compared to $9.6 million in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, reflecting continued increases in the installed base and higher amortization expense for capitalized labor, partially offset by the previously disclosed change in the depreciable lives for gaming operations equipment from 36 months to 48 months, effective as of October 1, 2012. Research and development expenses were $4.3 million in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter compared to $3.9 million in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter.
Operating income rose to $13.0 million and operating margins improved to 25.9% in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter from 14.2% in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, as the rise in revenue outpaced the increase in total operating expenses. For the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter, Multimedia Games reported net income of $10.0 million, or $0.32 per diluted share, compared to net income of $8.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter reflect a benefit of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the reversal of a previously incurred reserve for the recently settled 2007 income tax assessment related to the Company’s former operations in Mexico, while net income and diluted earnings per share in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter reflect a net benefit of $1.3 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. The effective tax rate in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter was 22%, compared to a tax benefit of 44% in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter.
Total revenue in fiscal 2013 rose $33.2 million, or 21.3%, to $189.4 million and is comprised of $132.6 million in revenue from gaming operations, $54.5 million in revenue from gaming equipment and system sales and $2.2 million in other revenue. Gaming operations revenues increased by $20.6 million, or 18.4%, from fiscal 2012 driven by a 1,770 unit increase in the domestic installed base and a 3.6% increase in average daily win per unit. The Company generated $48.5 million in revenue related to the sale of 2,678 units in fiscal 2013, compared to revenue of $36.2 million for the sale of 1,961 units in fiscal 2012. Deferred revenues recognized in fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 were $1.4 million and $2.7 million, respectively.
Total operating costs and expenses in fiscal 2013 rose $4.9 million year over year, or 3.7%, to $137.0 million. SG&A expenses grew $1.9 million to $48.4 million in fiscal 2013 while total cost of goods sold increased by $5.8 million. Fiscal 2013 and 2012 SG&A expenses included non-cash stock compensation costs of $3.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal 2013 declined $3.4 million year over year from while research and development expense rose $1.8 million compared to fiscal 2012.
In fiscal 2013, Multimedia Games reported net income of $34.9 million, or $1.14 per diluted share, compared to net income of $28.2 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, in fiscal 2012. Net income and diluted earnings per share for fiscal 2013 reflect a benefit of $1.1 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, related to the reversal of a previously incurred charge for the recently settled 2007 income tax assessment related to the Company’s former operations in Mexico, while net income and diluted earnings per share in fiscal 2012 reflect a net benefit of $2.8 million, or $0.09 per diluted share.

Balance Sheet Review
Multimedia Games ended fiscal 2013 with $102.6 million in cash and net cash (a non-GAAP measure, which we define as total cash in excess of total debt) of $73.0 million, versus net cash of $40.5 million at September 30, 2012. Capital expenditures in fiscal 2013 rose to $48.6 million, compared to $45.2 million in fiscal 2012. The Company generated free cash flow (a non-GAAP measure) of $27.9 million in the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, compared to $29.3 million at September 30, 2012. Please see the reconciliations of net cash and free cash flow attached to this release.
In fiscal 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 304,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $15.92 per share, excluding commissions, for total consideration of approximately $4.8 million. As of September 30, 2013, the Company had approximately $35.2 million remaining under its existing $40.0 million share repurchase authorization which was announced in November 2012. Since December 2010, the Company has repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares of its common stock.
Fiscal 2014 Outlook
Multimedia Games expects to generate revenue of $217.0-$223.0 million in fiscal 2014, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 15%-18%, which reflects an expected increase in unit sales of approximately 38%-49% and a more modest increase in the installed base compared to fiscal 2013. The current unit sales forecast contemplates average selling prices of $16,500-$17,500 in fiscal 2014, compared to an average selling price of $18,121 in fiscal 2013. This change reflects the Company’s expectation that sales of higher priced TournEvent® units will comprise a lower percentage of units sold while lower priced volume orders will increase in fiscal 2014.
Multimedia Games expects SG&A and research and development costs to increase modestly from fiscal 2013 levels as the Company continues to add headcount to support sales and services as well as its ongoing research and development efforts. The Company expects depreciation and amortization for fiscal 2014 of $42.0-$44.0 million, reflecting an expectation for a continued increase in its installed base in both existing and new markets as well as higher amortization expense for capitalized labor. Operating margins are expected to improve slightly in fiscal 2014 from 27.7% in fiscal 2013.
The Company expects to generate EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, of $110.0-$114.5 million in fiscal 2014, representing growth of approximately 15%-20% over fiscal 2013 EBITDA of $95.7 million.
In addition, the Company expects free cash flow to improve 40%-50% from the $27.9 million in free cash flow generated in fiscal 2013.
Finally, Multimedia Games expects its fiscal 2014 tax rate to be in the range of 36%-38%, compared with its fiscal 2013 tax rate of 32.5%. As a result, the Company expects to report fiscal 2014 diluted EPS of $1.23-$1.27, representing year-over-year growth of approximately 8%-11% from reported fiscal 2013 EPS of $1.14.

Adam Chibib, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We expect to build on the momentum established over the last few years in fiscal 2014 as our growing portfolio of products gains further traction in existing markets and provides the foundation for our entry into new jurisdictions. Continued efforts to enter new markets and grow our market share in existing jurisdictions, driven primarily by the development of innovative new games and products, is expected to result in strong year-over-year growth in unit sales, and continued growth in our installed base although at a slower pace than achieved in fiscal 2013. We believe the ongoing penetration of our games and products will drive further increases in revenue, operating income, EBITDA, diluted EPS and free cash flow.”

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures:
This press release and accompanying schedules provide certain information regarding (i) EBITDA, (ii) net cash, (iii) free cash flow, and (iv) pro-forma diluted earnings per share, all of which may be considered non-GAAP financial measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP financial measures below, or above in this release for pro-forma diluted earnings per share, as required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We define (i) EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization and accretion of contract rights, (ii) net cash as cash and cash equivalents less long-term debt, (iii) free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less the acquisition of property and equipment and leased gaming equipment, and (iv) pro-forma diluted earnings per share reflects a tax expense rate adjustment and an estimate for a change in depreciable lives of gaming operations equipment. EBITDA, net cash, free cash flow and pro-forma diluted earnings per share are not recognized financial measures under GAAP, but we believe that each is useful in measuring our operating performance. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance, and provides useful information to the investor by comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis and the use of EBITDA by other companies in the gaming equipment sector as a measure of performance. We believe that the non-GAAP measures of net cash, free cash flow and pro-forma diluted earnings per share provide useful information to investors as each enhances the overall understanding of our operating performance.
Investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
