Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements, but reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023 (the “2022 Form 20-F”).
Our condensed consolidated financial statements are stated in millions of United States (“U.S.”) dollars (except share and per share data) unless otherwise indicated, and are computed based on the amounts in thousands. Certain amounts in columns and rows within tables may not foot due to rounding. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying unrounded amounts.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. We evaluate our estimates, judgments, and methodologies on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our 2022 Form 20-F.
Accounting Pronouncements
The Company closely monitors all Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other authoritative guidance. ASUs adopted in 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, and ASUs to be adopted in future periods are being evaluated and at this point are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
3. Revenue Recognition
Contract Balances
Information about contract assets and contract liabilities is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
($ in millions) | | June 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 | | Balance Sheet Classification |
Contract assets: | | | | | | |

Non-current | | (51) | | | (49) | | | Other non-current liabilities |
| | (151) | | | (139) | | | |
The amount of revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2022 was $15 million and $36 million, respectively. The amount of revenue recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2021 was $16 million and $74 million, respectively.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
At June 30, 2023, 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 $929 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize as revenue approximately 34% within the next 12 months, approximately 35% between 13 and 36 months, approximately 16% between 37 and 60 months, and the remaining balance through December 31, 2031.
4. Leases
We have various arrangements for lottery and gaming equipment under which we are the lessor.
Our lease arrangements typically have lease terms ranging from one month to 4 years. These leases generally meet the criteria for operating lease classification, as the lease payments are typically variable based on a percentage of sales, a percentage of amounts wagered, net win, or a daily fee per active gaming terminal. Our leases generally do not contain variable payments that are dependent on an index or rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate). We provide lessees with the option to extend the lease, which is considered when evaluating lease classification. Lease income from operating leases is included within service revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease income was approximately 7% and 6% of total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Operating lease income was approximately 7% and 6% of total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Our sales-type lease arrangements typically have lease terms ranging from one year to 10 years. We provide lessees with the option to extend the lease, which is considered when evaluating lease classification. Lease income from sales-type leases is included within product sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Total sales-type lease income was approximately 1% of total revenue for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Sales-type lease receivables are included within customer financing receivables, net, which are a component of other current assets and other non-current assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additional information on customer financing receivables is included in Note 5 – Receivables.
5. Receivables
Trade and Other Receivables, net
Trade and other receivables are recorded at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses, and represent a contractual right to receive money on demand or on fixed or determinable dates that are typically short-term with payment due in 90 days or less.

We enter into various factoring agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell certain of our trade receivables. We factored trade receivables of $193 million and $266 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, under these factoring arrangements, which reduced trade receivables. The cash received from these arrangements is reflected as net cash provided by operating activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In certain of these factoring arrangements, for ease of administration, we will collect customer payments related to the factored gross receivables, including our trade receivables, which we then remit to the financial institutions. At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $124 million and $126 million, respectively, that was collected on behalf of the financial institutions and recorded as other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net cash flows relating to these collections are reported as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Customer Financing Receivables, net
Customers' payment terms for customer financing receivables are confirmed with a written financing contract, lease contract, or promissory note and a security agreement is typically signed by the parties granting the Company a security interest in the related products sold or leased. Customer financing interest income is recognized based on market rates prevailing at issuance.
Customer financing receivables are recorded at amortized cost, net of any allowance for credit losses, and are classified in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Company’s customer financing receivable portfolio is composed of customers primarily within the Global Gaming segment. We internally assess the credit quality of customer financing receivables using a number of factors, including, but not limited to, credit scores obtained from external providers, trade references, bank references, and historical experience. Risk profiles differ based on customer location and are pooled as: (i) North America; (ii) Latin America and the Caribbean (“LAC”); and (iii) Europe, Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific (“EMEA & APAC”).
The customer financing receivables at amortized cost by year of origination and the geography credit quality indicator at June 30, 2023 are as follows:

Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Parent and/or one or more of its subsidiaries are party to legal, regulatory, or administrative proceedings regarding, among other matters, claims by and against us, and injunctions by third parties arising out of the ordinary course of business or its other business activities. Licenses are also subject to legal challenges by competitors seeking to annul awards made to the Company. The Parent and/or one or more of its subsidiaries are also, from time to time, subjects of, or parties to, ethics and compliance inquiries and investigations related to the Company’s ongoing operations.
At June 30, 2023, outstanding liabilities for all legal proceedings, including those discussed in detail below, were $14 million.
With respect to legal proceedings where we have determined that an incremental loss is reasonably possible but we are unable to determine an estimate of that reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts already accrued, no additional amounts have been accrued, given the uncertainties of litigation and the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal proceedings.
Adrienne Benson and Mary Simonson, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Double Down Interactive LLC, et al. (the “DDI / Benson Matter provision”)
On June 1, 2023, the Court granted the Motion for Final Approval of Settlement and dismissed the case. The Company paid the $270 million agreed upon settlement amount (of which $50 million was placed in escrow in November 2022) on June 13, 2023.
Texas Fun 5’s Instant Ticket Game
IGT Global Solutions Corporation (formerly GTECH Corporation) is party to four lawsuits in Texas state court arising out of the Fun 5’s instant ticket game sold by the Texas Lottery Commission (“TLC”) from September 14, 2014 to October 21, 2014. Plaintiffs allege each ticket’s instruction for Game 5 provided a 5x win (five times the prize box amount) any time the “Money Bag” symbol was revealed in the “5X BOX”. However, TLC awarded a 5x win only when (1) the “Money Bag” symbol was revealed and (2) three symbols in a pattern were revealed.
(a)Steele, James et al. v. GTECH Corp., filed on December 9, 2014 in Travis County (No. D1GN145114). Through intervenor actions, over 1,200 plaintiffs claim damages in excess of $600 million, as alleged via discovery. GTECH Corporation’s plea to the jurisdiction for dismissal based on sovereign immunity was denied. GTECH Corporation appealed. The appellate court ordered that Plaintiffs’ sole remaining claim should be reconsidered. On April 27, 2018, this and a related matter were appealed to the Texas Supreme Court, which heard arguments on December 3, 2019. On June 12, 2020, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that Plaintiffs could proceed with their fraud allegations in the lower court; all other claims were dismissed. On March 26, 2021, October 29, 2021, and February 3, 2022 (two motions), GTECH Corporation filed motions for summary judgment. One such motion was denied on February 25, 2022, while the other three remain pending. In April 2023, pursuant to court ordered mediation, the Company advanced confidential settlement negotiations regarding this matter, and a tentative settlement has been reached subject to certain conditions to be satisfied by Plaintiff’s counsel. We anticipate settling on a mutually confidential basis with all, or a significant majority of, plaintiffs for an amount which is not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows and is expected to be paid with cash on hand. The Court granted the Motion to Appoint Masters in Chancery on July 13, 2023 to oversee and assist the parties with the potential settlement process. Given the large number of plaintiffs, some plaintiffs may continue to pursue their case and perhaps proceed to trial on their claims.

The Company will continue to monitor these matters and may adjust its disclosure and accrual in accordance with its Process for Disclosure and Recording of Liabilities Related to Legal Proceedings as described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our 2022 Form 20-F.

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 of 48.9% and 52.5% differed from the U.K. statutory rate of 23.5% primarily due to foreign rate differential, valuation allowance related to our business interest expense limitation carryforward, losses with no tax benefit and the impact of the international provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”).
The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 of (50.8)% and 26.0% differed from the U.K. statutory rate of 19.0% primarily due to foreign rate differential, valuation allowance related to our business interest expense limitation carryforward, losses with no tax benefit, and the impact of the international provisions of the Tax Act.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included in this report, as well as “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and “Item 18. Financial Statements” in the Company's 2022 Form 20-F.
The following discussion includes information for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022. Amounts reported in millions are computed based on the amounts in thousands. Certain amounts in columns and rows within tables may not foot due to rounding. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying unrounded amounts.
The following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report and in “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” included in the Company's 2022 Form 20-F and the “Forward-Looking Statements” safe harbor under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor”). As used in this Item 2, the terms “we,” “our,” “us,” and the “Company” refer to International Game Technology PLC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Business Overview
The Company is a global leader in gaming that delivers entertaining and responsible gaming experiences for players across all channels and regulated segments, from Lotteries and Gaming Machines to Digital Gaming and Sports Betting. Leveraging a wealth of compelling content, substantial investment in innovation, player insights, operational expertise, and leading-edge technology, the Company’s solutions deliver gaming experiences that responsibly engage players and drive growth. The Company has a well-established local presence and relationships with governments and regulators around the world, and creates value by adhering to the highest standards of service, integrity, and responsibility.
We manage and report our operating results through three business segments: Global Lottery, Global Gaming, and PlayDigital, along with a corporate support function. The Company’s operations for the periods presented herein are discussed accordingly.
Key Factors Affecting Operations and Financial Condition
The Company’s worldwide operations can be affected by industrial, economic, and political factors on both a regional and global level. The recent U.S. bank failures and the associated bank crisis, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the tightening of monetary policy by central banks and other macroeconomic factors have caused disruptions and uncertainty in the global economy, including rising interest rates, increased inflationary pressures, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, potential cybersecurity risks, and exacerbated supply chain challenges. However, these events did not have a material impact on our supply chain or our results of operations during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. The extent to which our business, or the business of our suppliers or manufacturers, will be impacted in the future is unknown. We will continue to monitor the effects of these events on our business and our results of operations.
On June 8, 2023, the Company announced its Board of Directors is evaluating potential strategic alternatives for the Global Gaming and PlayDigital segments with the goal of unlocking the full value of IGT's portfolio. IGT's Board of Directors is considering a broad range of potential alternatives, including but not limited to a sale, merger or spin-off, as well as retaining and further investing in the Global Gaming and PlayDigital segments. To support the Board of Directors in their assessment, the Company has retained financial advisors, legal counsel and consultants. No decision has been made regarding any alternatives, there is no timeline for the review and there can be no assurance that the exploration of strategic alternatives will result in any transaction. Currently, the extent to which our business could ultimately be impacted, including the extent of fees incurred, is unknown.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP which require the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on information available at the date that the financial statements are prepared, on historical experience, judgments, and assumptions considered to be reasonable and realistic. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Form 20-F.
The areas that require greater subjectivity of management in making estimates and judgments and where a change in such underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fully described in “Item 1. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included herein.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2023 increased $35 million, or 3%, to $1,055 million from $1,021 million for the prior corresponding period primarily driven by player demand and game and product performance as reflected by higher key performance indicators.
Product sales growth is primarily attributable to our Global Gaming segment which experienced increases in both machine units sold and a higher global average selling price from the prior corresponding period. Service revenue increases in our PlayDigital and Global Gaming segments were driven by player demand and operating in additional jurisdictions. Global Lottery increases, principally due to instant ticket and draw-game same-store sales in Italy and LMA revenues in North America, were fully offset by the disposal in September 2022 of our Italian Commercial Services business which contributed $72 million in the prior corresponding period. Excluding the contribution from the Italian Commercial Services business, total revenue increased 11% from the prior corresponding period.

Cost of services for the three months ended June 30, 2023 decreased $18 million, or 4%, from the prior corresponding period primarily attributable to our Global Lottery segment experiencing a $45 million decrease in point of sale (“POS”) fees due to the disposal of the Italian commercial services business, partially offset by a $7 million increase in POS consumables used in providing instant and draw-based game sales and increased insurance & taxes and marketing & advertising of $5 million in the aggregate. Additionally, within our Global Gaming segment, depreciation and amortization expense increased $9 million due primarily to amortization expense related to a multi-year license agreement of intellectual property entered into in December 2022, partially offset by a $7 million reduction in usage-based royalties. Payroll & benefit related expenses increased within the Global Gaming and PlayDigital segments by $5 million in the aggregate as a result of increased headcount. As a percentage of service revenue, cost of services decreased by approximately 175 basis points primarily due to our Global Lottery and PlayDigital segments experiencing improved operating leverage.

Cost of product sales increased $13 million, or 11%, from the prior corresponding period, primarily as a result of a $42 million increase in total product sales. Cost of product sales as a percentage of product sales decreased by approximately 650 basis points principally due to product mix in the Global Gaming segment and a high margin central system software license in the Global Lottery segment.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $17 million, or 9%, from the prior corresponding period. This increase was primarily attributable to an $8 million increase in costs for outside legal and technical consultants in Global Lottery, Global Gaming, and Corporate and Other in aggregate, a $7 million increase in payroll & benefit expenses, as well as a $5 million increase in expected credit loss expense primarily due to the refinancing of high credit risk receivables that reduced provisions, benefiting our Global Gaming segment in the prior period.

Interest expense, net decreased $3 million, or 4%, from the prior corresponding period primarily due to the Company maintaining a lower average balance in its Senior Secured Notes compared to the prior corresponding period.
Foreign exchange loss (gain), net was a $5 million loss, compared to a $19 million gain for the prior corresponding period. Foreign exchange loss (gain), net is principally related to fluctuations in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate on internal and external debt.
Other non-operating (income) expense, net was $2 million of income, compared to $150 million expense for the prior corresponding period. During the prior corresponding period, the Company accrued $150 million of expense representing our best estimate of probable loss associated with the DDI / Benson Matter at that time.

The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by higher pre-tax income compared to the prior corresponding period. The lower pre-tax income in the prior corresponding period was partially attributed to the accrual of the DDI / Benson Matter which resulted in recognition of a $37 million tax benefit.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $44 million, or 2%, to $2,116 million from $2,072 million for the prior corresponding period due primarily to player demand and product and game performance, as reflected by higher key performance indicators.
Product sales growth is primarily attributable to our Global Gaming segment experiencing increases in both machine units sold and a higher global average selling price from the prior corresponding period. Service revenue increases in our Global Gaming and PlayDigital segments were driven by game performance and player demand. Global Lottery increases, principally due to multi-jurisdiction jackpot game same-store sales in the U.S. and instant ticket and draw-game same-store sales in Italy, were fully offset by the disposition in September 2022 of our Italian Commercial Services business which contributed $142 million in the prior corresponding period as well as unfavorable foreign currency impacts primarily related to the euro of $15 million. Excluding the contribution from the Italian Commercial Services business, total revenue increased 10%, with service revenue in our Global Lottery segment increasing 7%.

The increase in provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily driven by a higher valuation allowance related to our business interest expense limitation carryforward, the impact of the international provisions of the U.S. Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017, and higher pre-tax income. In addition, there was no tax benefit arising from the DDI / Benson Matter for the six months ended June 30, 2023, compared to a $37 million tax benefit for the prior corresponding period.

Operating and facilities management contracts revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased $80 million, or 7%, from the prior corresponding period. This increase was primarily the result of a $62 million increase in instant, draw-based, and multi-jurisdiction jackpot ticket sales that experienced same-store sales growth of 9.2% in Italy, and a 4.9% increase in global same-store sales in the aggregate. Global same-store sales for multi-jurisdiction jackpot ticket sales experienced a 20.9% increase, primarily attributable to elevated jackpot levels in the United States. Additionally, LMA revenue increased $7 million principally due to higher incentives earned in North America.
Systems, software, and other revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased by $144 million, or 85%, from the prior corresponding period primarily due to the sale of our Italian commercial services business on September 14, 2022.

Gross margin as a percentage of service revenue increased to 51% from 49% for the prior corresponding period primarily as a result of increased Operating and facilities management contracts revenue as discussed above and decreased Systems, software, and other revenue from the former Italy commercial services business where margins were typically lower as a result of the POS fees. As the Global Lottery segment has a higher percentage of fixed-costs within its cost structure, service gross margin typically increases as sales increase.
Gross margin on product sales for the six months ended June 30, 2023 increased from the prior corresponding period principally due to product mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Company’s business is capital intensive and requires liquidity to meet its obligations and fund growth. Historically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations and, to a lesser extent, cash proceeds from financing activities, including amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facilities. In addition to general working capital and operational needs, the Company’s liquidity requirements arise primarily from its need to meet debt service obligations and to fund capital expenditures and upfront license fee payments. The Company also requires liquidity to fund acquisitions and associated costs. The Company’s cash flows generated from operating activities together with cash flows generated from financing activities have historically been sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs.
The Company believes its ability to generate cash from operations to reinvest in its business, primarily due to the long-term nature of its contracts, is one of its fundamental financial strengths. Combined with funds currently available and committed borrowing capacity, the Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements and for the longer-term period thereafter.
The cash management, funding of operations, and investment of excess liquidity are centrally coordinated by a dedicated treasury team with the objective of ensuring effective and efficient management of funds.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's total available liquidity was as follows, respectively:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
($ in millions) | | June 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
Revolving Credit Facilities | | 1,360 | | | 1,822 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | 461 | | | 590 | |
Total Liquidity | | 1,821 | | | 2,412 | |
The Revolving Credit Facilities are subject to customary covenants (including maintaining a minimum ratio of EBITDA to total net interest costs and a maximum ratio of total net debt to EBITDA) and events of default, none of which are expected to impact the Company’s liquidity or capital resources.
The Company completed multiple debt transactions in 2023. Refer to “Item 1. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—8. Debt” included herein for further discussion of these transactions as well as information regarding the Company’s other debt obligations, including the maturity profile of borrowings and committed borrowing facilities.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately 28% and 20% of the Company’s net debt portfolio was exposed to interest rate fluctuations, respectively. The Company’s exposure to floating rates of interest primarily relates to the Euro Term Loan Facilities due January 2027 and the Revolving Credit Facilities.
The following table summarizes the Company’s USD equivalent cash balances by currency:

The Company maintains its cash deposits in a diversified portfolio of global banks, the majority of which are considered Global Systemically Important Banks. The Company holds an immaterial amount of cash in countries where there may be legal or economic restrictions on the ability of subsidiaries to transfer funds in the form of cash dividends, loans, or advances.
At June 30, 2023, we did not have any significant changes to off-balance sheet arrangements from those disclosed within our 2022 Form 20-F. Additionally, there have been no material changes to our contractual obligations disclosed under “Item 5.B. Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our 2022 Form 20-F.

Non-cash adjustments to net income for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $479 million, compared to $458 million for the prior corresponding period. The principal drivers of the increase in non-cash adjustments were related to $87 million in additional deferred income taxes, unfavorable changes in foreign exchange of $54 million, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $20 million, and a $4 million loss on the extinguishment of debt recognized in the current period, partially offset by a decrease due to the absence of the $150 million DDI / Benson Matter provision recorded in the prior period.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in cash outflows of $292 million and $224 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily increasing due to the $220 million payment of the DDI / Benson Matter provision, partially offset due to the timing of invoicing and payment remittance for trade payables in Italy and a reduction in interest payments.

These cash outflows were partially offset by net proceeds from Revolving Credit Facilities of $473 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash flows used in financing activities primarily included dividends paid and capital returned to non-controlling interests of $222 million, dividends paid to shareholders of $81 million, repurchases of common stock of $54 million, and net repayments of short-term borrowings of $52 million. These cash outflows were partially offset by net receipts from financial liabilities related to our factoring program of $36 million and net proceeds from Revolving Credit Facilities of $245 million.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Parent and/or one or more of its subsidiaries are party to legal, regulatory, or administrative proceedings regarding, among other matters, claims by and against us, and injunctions by third parties arising out of the ordinary course of business or its other business activities. Licenses are also subject to legal challenges by competitors seeking to annul awards made to the Company. The Parent and/or one or more of its subsidiaries are also, from time to time, subjects of, or parties to, ethics and compliance inquiries and investigations related to the Company’s ongoing operations.
There have been no material developments to the litigation disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023, except as noted in “Item 1. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)— Note 10. Commitments and Contingencies” included in the accompanying financial statements.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Information on the Company’s risk factors appear in “Part I, Item 3.D. Risk Factors” of the 2022 Form 20-F, which should be carefully considered in conjunction with “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”, the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included herewith, and the Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor. These risks may affect the Company's operating results and, individually or in the aggregate, could cause its actual results to differ materially from past and anticipated future results. The following discussion of risks may contain forward-looking statements which are intended to be covered by the Forward-Looking Statements Safe Harbor. Except as may be required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Except as set forth below, there have been no material updates or changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Form 20-F.
Risks related to the Company's Business and Industry
Divestitures may materially adversely affect the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows
From time to time, the Company may pursue divestitures in support of its strategic goals. For example, on May 10, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Italian B2C gaming machine, sports betting, and digital gaming businesses to Gamenet Group S.p.A. and on September 14, 2022, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company completed the sale of the Company’s Italian commercial services business to PostePay S.p.A. – Patrimonio Destinato IMEL. On June 8, 2023, the Company also announced a review of potential strategic alternatives for the Global Gaming and PlayDigital segments, which includes the potential sale of these segments.
Divestitures involve risks, including difficulties in the separation of operations, services, products and personnel, the diversion of management's attention from other business concerns, the disruption of business, the potential loss of revenues, increased customer concentration, departures of key employees and the retention of uncertain contingent liabilities related to the divested business. The Company may not be successful in managing these or any other significant risks that it encounters in any divestiture the Company may undertake, and any such divestiture could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, and may also result in a diversion of management attention, operational difficulties and losses. Further, there can be no assurance whether the strategic benefits and expected financial impact of any divestiture will be achieved.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
No repurchases of common stock were made by or on behalf of the Company during the second quarter ended June 30, 2023.
On November 15, 2021, the Parent’s Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $300 million of the Parent’s outstanding ordinary shares during a period of four years commencing on November 18, 2021.
