Participation Agreements and Space Lease Agreements with Revenue Share Provisions
The Company enters into slot placement contracts in the form of participation agreements and space lease agreements with revenue share provisions. Under participation agreements, the business location holds the applicable gaming license and retains a percentage of the gaming revenue generated from the Company’s slots. Space lease agreements with revenue share provisions are a hybrid model that has both space lease and participation elements and the Company pays the business a percentage of the gaming revenue generated from the Company’s slots placed at the location, rather than a fixed monthly rental fee. Under such arrangements, the Company holds the applicable gaming license to conduct gaming at the location and the business location is required to obtain separate regulatory approval to receive a percentage of the gaming revenue. The aggregate contingent payments recognized by the Company as gaming expenses under participation agreements and space lease agreements with revenue share provisions were $54.1 million and $36.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.
Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is involved in a variety of lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings concerning labor and employment matters, personal injury claims, breach of contract claims, commercial disputes, business practices, intellectual property, tax and other matters for which the Company records reserves. Although lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of its currently pending matters should not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Regardless of the outcome, legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in a particular period.
In January 2021, the Company was affected by a ransomware cyber-attack that temporarily disrupted the Company’s access to certain information located on the Company’s network and incurred expenses relating thereto. The Company’s financial information and business operations were not materially affected. The Company implemented a variety of measures to further enhance its cybersecurity protections and minimize the impact of any future cyber incidents. The Company has insurance related
to this event and is seeking to recover costs it incurred to remediate this matter and will record insurance recovery when collection is probable.
