Patrick Ramsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Games, commented, “Our record quarterly revenue and overall strong financial performance reflects our ongoing success in creating great games that resonate with customers. We continue to expand the Company’s total addressable market while simultaneously achieving growth in existing markets. We delivered quarterly revenue of over $48 million as we deployed over 1,000 new revenue units for the fourth consecutive quarter, with products placed in 21 states, and generated operating margins that continue to be at the high end of our industry peer group, coming in at 29.1% of revenues. Combined, these factors enabled us to generate $14 million in free cash flow (definition provided below). Further, the operating leverage in our business was evident in the quarter as EBITDA growth of 30% outpaced the approximately 19% increase in revenue.
“During the quarter we further expanded our addressable markets as Nevada sales and placements began in earnest and we generated our first sales in New Jersey. Our MForce™ gaming platform completed additional Nevada technical field trials, allowing us to address the majority of the potential customers in the state. In addition, we have expanded our portfolio of approved games in Nevada to 22 titles, including TournEvent®, which received final approvals late in the fiscal third quarter. During the fiscal 2013 third quarter, we sold or placed 102 games in Nevada and we expect to continue our penetration into this important market.
“Gaming operations growth also continued as we added 451 net new units to the installed base, including 376 units outside of Oklahoma. Notably, our base of non-Oklahoma premium games increased by 208 units in the quarter as we ended the quarter with 713 premium units installed in a total of 18 markets. Additionally, with the increased geographic diversification of our products, our average revenue per day continues to rise as yields rose 3.0% year over year.
Ramsey concluded, “Awareness of our products has never been higher as we leverage the solid performance of our games in existing markets into new large market opportunities such as Nevada, Illinois and New Jersey. Our games continue to be met with strong acceptance from players and they bring a strong value proposition to our customers. We believe this combination will lead to further growth of our gaming operations and game sales businesses.”
Summary of Fiscal 2013 Third Quarter Operating Results
Multimedia Games’ fiscal 2013 third quarter revenue rose 18.9%, or $7.6 million, to $48.1 million, compared to revenue of $40.5 million in the fiscal 2012 third quarter. Fiscal 2013 third quarter revenue included approximately $34.3 million from gaming operations and approximately $13.5 million from gaming equipment and system sales, compared with $28.4 million from gaming operations and $11.7 million from gaming equipment and system sales in the year-ago period.
Gaming operations revenue in the fiscal 2013 third quarter grew 20.7% to $34.3 million driven by broad-based growth in the Company’s installed base of participation units. Multimedia Games’ domestic ending installed base increased by 2,014 units, or 19.8%, from the fiscal 2012 third quarter and by 451 units, or 3.9%, on a quarterly sequential basis. The installed base grew in substantially all the Company’s existing markets, including Oklahoma. Included in the quarter-end participation base were 713 premium participation units deployed outside of Oklahoma, an increase of 208 units, or 41.2%, on a quarterly sequential basis. Fiscal 2013 third quarter gaming operations revenue also benefited from a $0.4 million 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 third quarter increased 15.3% to $13.5 million, from $11.7 million in the prior-year period. During the quarter, the Company recorded revenue of $12.4 million related to the sale of 647 new units and $0.8 million in revenue related to parts and equipment sales, compared to $10.4 million in revenue related to the sale of 543 new units and $0.7 million related to parts and equipment sales in the year-ago period. Multimedia Games sold units into 15 markets, including its first sales to casinos in New Jersey. The Company’s top three markets for unit sales in the quarter – Washington, Louisiana and Nevada – accounted for a total of 302 units sold. There was $0.2 million and $0.6 million 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 third quarter periods, respectively.
Other revenue, primarily comprised of service revenue, was approximately $0.3 million and $0.4 million in the fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 third quarter periods, respectively.
Total operating costs and expenses for the fiscal 2013 third quarter rose by $1.4 million, or 4.3%, to $34.1 million driven primarily by the increase in sales and placements of the Company’s gaming units and higher selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs, partially offset by lower depreciation and amortization reflecting the Company’s decision to change the depreciation schedule for its gaming operations equipment, as previously reported. Total cost of goods sold increased by $1.1 million due to the increase in the number of units sold and the additions to the installed base of participation games. SG&A expenses rose 6.2%, or $0.7 million, to $12.0 million, primarily reflecting higher salary and benefit costs related to the Company’s ongoing entrance into new markets and jurisdictions. SG&A for the fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 third quarter periods includes non-cash stock compensation costs of approximately $1.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization was $8.9 million in the fiscal 2013 third quarter compared to $9.5 million in the prior-year period, primarily reflecting 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 was $4.1 million in the fiscal 2013 third quarter compared to $3.9 million in the prior-year period.
Operating income rose to $14.0 million and operating margins improved to 29.1% in the fiscal 2013 third quarter compared to 19.1% in the year-ago period, driven by the rise in revenue significantly outpacing the increase in total operating expenses as well as the continued increase in the mix of high-margin recurring revenue. For the fiscal 2013 third quarter, Multimedia Games reported net income of $8.4 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to net income of $7.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2012 third quarter. Net income and diluted earnings per share for the fiscal 2013 third quarter reflect a tax expense rate of 38.7% while net income and diluted earnings per share in the prior-year period reflect a tax expense rate of 5.9%.
Balance Sheet Review
Multimedia Games ended the fiscal 2013 third quarter with $92.5 million in cash and net cash (total cash in excess of total debt) of $62.0 million, versus net cash of $40.5 million and $33.6 million as of September 30, 2012, and June 30, 2012, respectively. The Company generated free cash flow of $14.0 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, compared to $7.3 million in the year-ago period. While capital expenditures fell to $11.1 million from $12.3 million a year ago, the Company continued to invest in its installed base during the quarter.
In the third quarter of fiscal 2013, the Company repurchased approximately 56,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $20.87 per share, excluding commissions, for total consideration of approximately $1.2 million. As of June 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.
Adam Chibib, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “The popularity of our award-winning products and their growing success in the marketplace continue to strengthen our balance sheet and drive strong free cash flow. We also continue to allocate and reinvest capital into our business to effectively enter new markets, efficiently serve existing markets and create great products that attract customer and player attention. Based on the strong financial performance of the first nine months of the fiscal year, we are raising our fiscal 2013 diluted EPS outlook to a range of $1.07 to $1.10 from our prior $0.98 to $1.02 range.”
Updated Fiscal 2013 Outlook
Multimedia Games now forecasts fiscal 2013 revenues in the range of $187.7 to $190.3 million, representing total year-over-year revenue growth of approximately 20.2% to 21.9%. The revised revenue growth forecast assumes unit sales to range from 700 to 800 units in the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter as well as a quarterly sequential increase in the installed base. Fiscal 2013 revenue guidance also includes the previously disclosed early fourth quarter reduction in revenue share percentage on approximately 1,000 units installed at the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Oklahoma which the Company expects will impact fiscal fourth quarter diluted EPS by $0.01. The current unit sales and installed base growth forecast for fiscal 2013 includes an expectation for a measured level of unit deployments in Nevada, New Jersey and Illinois in the fourth quarter as Multimedia Games continues to build its library of approved games in these jurisdictions.
The Company now expects to generate EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $95.1 to $96.0 million in fiscal 2013, representing growth of approximately 33.8% to 35.0% over total fiscal 2012 EBITDA of $71.1 million.

Represents Company guidance for fiscal 2013 provided on April 30, 2013. |
|
Operating margins for the fiscal 2013 fourth quarter are expected to decline on a quarterly sequential basis to a range of 25% to 26% due to higher marketing costs in the quarter related to higher spending for G2E, the annual industry trade show. The Company currently expects its tax rate in the fourth quarter to be 36% to 38% and expects the full year tax rate to range from 36% to 37% compared to a benefit of 11.4% in fiscal 2012. As a result, Multimedia Games now expects to report fiscal 2013 diluted EPS of $1.07 to $1.10, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 52.9% to 57.1% over fiscal 2012 pro-forma diluted EPS as adjusted for the new depreciation schedule and when applying a 37.0% tax rate for fiscal 2012, as set forth in the table below.

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.
