BALLY TECHNOLOGIES, INC. REPORTS ADJUSTED EPS OF $1.06 AND GAAP DILUTED EPS OF $0.54 FOR THE SECOND QUARTER OF FISCAL 2014
· SYSTEMS REVENUE SETS A QUARTERLY RECORD FOR THE FOURTH CONSECUTIVE QUARTER OF $85 MILLION, UP 51 PERCENT FROM PRIOR YEAR
· INITIATES COMBINED FISCAL 2014 ADJUSTED EPS GUIDANCE OF $4.30 TO $4.50
· SHFL INTEGRATION-RELATED COST SYNERGIES EXPECTED TO BE AT LEAST $40 MILLION
LAS VEGAS, February 6, 2014 Bally Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: BYI) (Bally or the Company), a leader in gaming machines, table-game products, casino-management systems, interactive applications, and networked and server-based systems for the global gaming industry, today announced record quarterly revenue of $285 million and Adjusted EPS of $1.06 for the three months ended December 31, 2013, inclusive of a $0.02 loss per share from unfavorable foreign currency movements. Diluted earnings per share (GAAP Diluted EPS) was $0.54 for the three months ended December 31, 2013. Second quarter fiscal 2014 results include 37 days of operations from SHFL entertainment, Inc. (SHFL).
Our second quarter fiscal 2014 was transformative in many respects, said Ramesh Srinivasan, the Companys President and Chief Executive Officer. We successfully closed the acquisition of SHFL ahead of schedule and the ongoing integration process is moving forward smoothly. We have integrated our sales, services and product development teams while simultaneously continuing to execute well on our core businesses as evidenced in our second quarter results. Customer response across the globe to the integration, including the combined product roadmaps, has been positive. While more work remains to be done, we are off to a terrific start and are tracking ahead of our synergy targets. We believe that Bally is now well-positioned to continue industry-leading innovation and growth.
Revenues that are recurring in nature set a quarterly record and accounted for approximately 51 percent of total revenue during the quarter, said Neil Davidson, the Companys Chief Financial Officer. As we make progress on the integration process and continue to identify incremental synergy opportunities, we now expect cost synergies to be at least $40 million on an annualized run-rate basis by the end of calendar 2014. Now that the acquisition has closed, we are thoughtfully allocating free cash flow towards the repayment of our debt with a goal of achieving a leverage ratio of approximately 3.0 times within the next two years. In fact, we have already paid down $58 million of debt since the acquisition closed.

· Adjusted EBITDA increased 26 percent to a quarterly record $102 million as compared with $81 million last year.
· Selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) increased to 32 percent of total revenues from 28 percent last year, primarily driven by $22 million of one-time costs associated with the acquisition of SHFL.

Gaming Operations
· Revenues decreased 2 percent to $97 million as compared with $99 million last year, driven by lower yields on certain variable fee games, offset by a 9 percent increase in the installed base of WAP games, stronger yields in lottery systems and the inclusion of 2,985 leased SHFL ETS seats and EGMs.

Fiscal 2014 Business Update
As a result of completing the SHFL acquisition on November 25, 2013, the Company initiated full-year fiscal 2014 guidance for Adjusted EPS with a range of $4.30 to $4.50. Adjusted EPS will be calculated in accordance with the table included in this press release. The range also excludes current and expected losses from unfavorable foreign currency movements. For clarity, this guidance includes $2.05 per share of results for the six months ended December 31, 2013 which is comprised of Adjusted EPS of $2.02 plus an add-back of $0.03 per share loss from unfavorable foreign currency movements incurred during the first six months of fiscal 2014. This results in a range of Adjusted EPS expected for the remaining six months of fiscal 2014 of $2.25 to $2.45.
The Company expects amortization resulting from purchased intangibles to approximate $0.22 per share per quarter in the remainder of fiscal 2014 and expects interest expense to approximate $0.35 per share per quarter, of which $0.28 per share is incremental as a result of the SHFL acquisition.
The Company also increased its estimate for SHFL integration-related cost synergies to be realized on an annualized run-rate basis by the end of calendar 2014 from at least $30 million to at least $40 million per year.
The Company has provided this range of earnings guidance for fiscal 2014 to give investors general information on the overall direction of its business at this time. The guidance provided is subject to numerous uncertainties, including, among others, overall economic and capital market conditions, the market for gaming devices and systems, changes in gaming legislation, the timing of new jurisdictions and casino openings, the timing and completion of new systems installations, competitive product introductions, complex revenue recognition rules related to the Companys business, and assumptions about the Companys new product introductions and regulatory approvals. The Company does not intend and undertakes no obligation to update its forward-looking statements, including forecasts, potential opportunities for growth in new and existing markets, and future prospects for proposed new products. Accordingly, the Company does not intend to update guidance during the quarter. Additional information about the factors that could potentially affect the Companys financial results included in todays press release can be found in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used by the Companys management and by some industry analysts to evaluate the Companys ability to service debt, and is used by some investors and financial analysts in the gaming industry in measuring and comparing Ballys leverage, liquidity and operating performance to other gaming companies. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to operating income or net cash from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. Not all companies calculate Adjusted EBITDA the same way, and the Companys presentation may be different from those presented by other companies.
