NTN Buzztime, Inc. Reports Second-Quarter 2015 Results

– Grew revenue 8% sequentially –

CARLSBAD, Calif., August 6, 2015 — NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NTN), reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2015.

“Second quarter revenue grew 8% sequentially, reflecting positive trends in site count, reduced attrition and continued conversions to our BEOND platform,” said Ram Krishnan, NTN Buzztime CEO. “Site count achieved two milestones: increasing sequentially for the first time in more than 13 quarters and reaching 50% of our installed base with the BEOND platform. We are working diligently to further growth by investing in functionality critical to chain restaurants and by increasing our entertainment options.

“During the quarter, we launched self-service dining while simultaneously expanding our relationship with Arooga’s. Tableside payment is unfolding smoothly, which we plan to enhance with EMV chip reading capability when we release our third generation BEOND tablet platform. In entertainment, Jackpot Trivia is thriving. We are introducing additional features, and our data indicates we are achieving our objective of increasing the number of younger players.

“Furthermore, upon analyzing feedback, we identified the opportunity to create another competitive advantage by providing restaurants the option to offer free-to-consumer arcade. While this change will delay our premium arcade general availability, we expect to command higher prices, which we anticipate will translate into an increase in subscription revenue. Also, to reduce production costs and scrap exposure, we are outsourcing the production of our third generation BEOND tablet platform and accelerating delivery to the end of 2015.

“In addition to expanding our revenue streams, investing to increase the scalability of our business and improving operating efficiencies, we strengthened our balance sheet by securing a credit agreement. We remain comfortable with our liquidity position. In aggregate, we believe these actions will drive top line growth and lower our cash flow breakeven threshold,” concluded Mr. Krishnan.

Financial Results for the Second-Quarter Ended June 30, 2015

Total revenues were $6.2 million, compared to $5.7 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $6.9 million for the same period in 2014. Sequential improvements reflect the increase in adoption of the BEOND platform. The expected year-over-year decrease was due to fewer installations of customers under sales-type lease arrangements and lower total site count. Direct costs were $3.4 million including a $444,000 write-off for obsolete components and a $174,000 increase in equipment and production costs, compared to $2.8 million for the same period in 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.9 million, compared to $4.6 million for the same period in 2014 reflecting the investment in key personnel and severance, which was offset by a decrease in professional fees and consulting. Net loss was $2.6 million, or $0.03 per share, compared to $1.3 million, or $0.02 per share, in the same period a year ago.

Metric Review for Quarter Ended June 30, 2015 Compared to March 31, 2015

The company ended the second quarter of 2015 with 2,942 subscribing venues, compared to 2,908 as of March 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, BEOND installations increased to 1,459 locations, or 50% of the installed base, compared to 43% as of March 31, 2015. As of June 30, 2015, the BEOND platform conversion for Buffalo Wild Wings, the company’s largest customer, increased to 911 sites from 788 at the end of the first quarter. The Buzztime network reached eight million registered players.

EBITDA

A schedule reconciling the Company’s consolidated net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA is included in the supplemental table below. EBITDA is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, nor should EBITDA be considered as an alternative to statements of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is included herein because the Company believes it is a measure of operating performance that financial analysts, lenders, investors and other interested parties find to be a useful tool for analyzing companies like Buzztime that carry significant levels of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges in comparison to their net income or loss calculation in accordance with GAAP.
