“Our 2014 fiscal third quarter financial results are in-line with our previously stated expectations and highlight the Company’s ability to introduce differentiated games that are helping us to further grow our presence on casino slot floors despite the challenging North American gaming environment,” said Patrick Ramsey, Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Games. “We sold 616 units during the quarter which, though slightly lower than the prior-year period, reflects solid demand for our games from an expanding number of operators. In addition, TournEvent® continues to build momentum nationwide and remains one of the industry’s truly in-demand slot products. We are leveraging the success of this unique offering through the nationwide TournEvent of Champions® which is generating excitement and consistently high levels of play at our customers’ facilities during the qualifying rounds that are currently underway.
“Our gaming operations business continues to be a source of strength for Multimedia Games, as our installed base grew by 1,004 units year over year and by 415 units on a quarterly sequential basis to reach 13,167 total units. Our higher-yielding premium participation games continue to achieve notable success, with the installed base of our premium games growing by 118 units in the quarter to reach 1,288 total units, or approximately 10% of our total installed base. To date, the Company’s growth in this key segment of the slot floor has been driven by a modest number of product offerings, including our High Rise Series™ of games. At the Global Gaming Expo industry trade show in Las Vegas in late September, we will feature three new and distinct platforms for our premium participation product portfolio: our Platinum MPX™ cabinet and games featuring an interactive sound chair with Earthquake Shakers™ and custom surround sound; the Skyline™ top box and its dedicated series of three-reel mechanical reel games; and, the eight foot tall Texan HDX™ premium super-sized cabinet, which can showcase any video theme from our library of over 100 games. Each of these new platforms is scheduled to be available by the end of calendar 2014 and is expected to help the Company further penetrate this exciting market.”
Ramsey concluded, “We believe our third quarter results again demonstrate the Company’s ability to create games that excite players and deliver value to operators, and we remain focused on further growing our overall share of North American slot floors. Our new premium participation products are expected to drive further growth in our installed base and win per day going forward and represent a key piece of our long-term strategy. We are also pursuing initiatives that will enable us to deliver high levels of player satisfaction and generate continued top- and bottom-line growth, including investments in new product development and in our installed base as well as the completion of the PokerTek transaction.”

Highlights of Multimedia Games’ fiscal 2014 third quarter operating results include:
Gaming operations
-
The approximate 8.3%, or 1,004 unit, year-over-year increase in the
Company’s installed base led to a 10.9% increase in revenue.
- The installed base grew 415 units on a quarterly sequential basis.
- The installed base of premium participation games increased 118 units on a quarterly sequential basis to 1,288 units.
- Revenue from the Company’s New York Lottery business decreased 2.9% year over year to $4.4 million.
Gaming equipment and system sales
- Revenue declined 10.3% year over year, reflecting the sale of 616 units to customers in 23 markets, compared to the sale of 647 units in the year-ago quarter.
- Total unit sales included the sale of 214 TournEvent units, bringing the Company’s nationwide TournEvent installed base to over 4,000 units in approximately 275 casinos.
- The top three markets for unit sales were Florida, Ohio and Nevada, which in aggregate accounted for 228 of the units sold during the quarter.
Operating expenses
-
The year-over-year increase in total operating expenses was driven by:
- Higher cost of goods sold, including a 7.2% increase in game and system sales cost of goods sold, due primarily to an increase in freight and license costs.
- Increased depreciation and amortization expense largely reflecting the continued expansion of the Company’s installed base of participation units along with higher amortization expense for capitalized labor.
-
SG&A expenses increased 5.9% during the quarter.
- SG&A expenses include approximately $2.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation, $0.6 million of which is related to non-recurring severance related charges, compared to $1.0 million in the prior-year period.
Balance Sheet Review
Multimedia Games ended the fiscal 2014 third quarter with $129.3 million in cash and debt of $26.8 million, versus cash and debt of $92.5 million and $30.5 million, respectively, at June 30, 2013. Capital expenditures in the fiscal 2014 third quarter were $7.9 million compared to $11.1 million in the year ago period.
During the fiscal 2014 third quarter, the Company repurchased 280,000 shares of its common stock at an average price of $28.57 per share, excluding commissions, for total consideration of approximately $8.0 million. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had approximately $21.1 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 3.0 million shares of its common stock at an average of cost of $10.27 per share.
Adam Chibib, President and Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Multimedia Games is successfully developing products that deliver strong returns for our customers as we increase our slot floor market share despite the highly competitive operating environment. The growth in our high-margin gaming operations business, continued strong demand for our ‘must have’ TournEvent slot tournament system and our efficient operating structure are driving strong financial results and a balance sheet that positions the Company to continue investing in long-term growth opportunities. Our high-margin gaming operations business is expected to be a key driver of future results, particularly as we expand the availability of our premium participation products, and we believe that growth in this segment of the slot floor combined with consistent unit sales will support our goal of creating shareholder value.”
Reiterates Fiscal 2014 Outlook
Multimedia Games today reiterated its outlook for fiscal 2014. For the full year, the Company continues to expect to generate revenue of $217.0-$223.0 million. In addition, Multimedia Games expects to generate EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, of $110.0-$114.5 million. Finally, the Company 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, fiscal 2014 diluted EPS are expected to be $1.23-$1.27.
The Company’s fiscal 2014 diluted EPS guidance of $1.23-$1.27 does not include the $0.01 per share negative impact for the severance related charges recorded in the fiscal 2014 third quarter or the $0.02 per share negative impact for insurance claims in excess of the previous two-year quarterly average that was recorded in the fiscal 2014 first quarter and highlighted in the fiscal 2014 first quarter press release on January 30, 2014. Similarly, the Company’s fiscal 2014 EBITDA guidance of $110.0-$114.5 million does not include a cumulative impact of $1.4 million related to the above noted non-recurring items.
Multimedia Games cautions that market dynamics are constantly changing and as such, actual results could vary materially from the expectations noted above based on various factors, such as changes in the Company’s markets, operations, regulatory requirements, and its estimates and assumptions.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP to Non-GAAP measures:
This press release and accompanying schedules provide certain information regarding (i) EBITDA and (ii) adjusted diluted earnings per share, both 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, 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 and (ii) adjusted diluted earnings per share reflects an add-back for the non-recurring severance related charges. EBITDA and adjusted 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 present adjusted diluted earnings per share in order to allow investors to evaluate how we would have performed had the severance related charges not been incurred during the three month period ended June 30, 2014.
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.
