Reduced Leverage Substantially, Paid Down $635 Million in Debt Since October 2020
LAS VEGAS – November 9, 2021 — Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) (“Scientific Games,” “SGC” or the “Company”) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2021.
Barry Cottle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Games, said, “In just the last few months we have made tremendous progress on our strategic pillars, delivering on our promises, and rapidly advancing our vision to be the leading cross-platform global game company. With the sale of our Lottery and Sports Betting businesses we are transforming our Company, raising $7 billion which will significantly de-lever the balance sheet and enable us to invest for growth. With our streamlined organization we have all of the pieces in place, and are singularly focused on building games fully cross-platform. Operationally we also made great strides in the quarter, further cementing the turnaround at our Gaming business, strengthening our leadership position in iGaming and making great progress expanding in Casual at SciPlay. I want to thank all of our teams around the world for their hard work and commitment and for what they have enabled us to accomplish.”
Connie James, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Scientific Games, added, “We have an exciting path ahead of us as we move rapidly to unlock significant value. With the announced sale of Lottery and Sports Betting businesses as well as organic investments and key acquisitions like Authentic, Lightning Box and Koukoi, you are quickly getting to see the shape as well as the pace and agility of our new organization. The divestitures put us on a clearly defined path to materially de-lever while providing us with the ability to invest. Our momentum continued this quarter with strong top and bottom line growth and with strong quarterly cash flow as the teams continued to be laser-focused on productivity. We are seeing our Company come together and coalesce around a high-performance culture that embraces our bright future as we pursue our new vision and I can’t thank our employees enough for their dedication and enthusiasm.”
STRATEGIC PILLAR PROGRESS
•Overall, we have made tremendous progress executing on our three strategic pillars and delivering on our promises as we accelerate our strategies and unlock significant shareholder value to achieve our vision of becoming the leading cross-platform global game company.
•Optimizing our portfolio, with the announced sale of both our Lottery and Sports Betting businesses for $7 billion, streamlining our organization with a singular focus on building great games fully cross-platform.
•Investing in our largest growth opportunities, both organically and inorganically, in content and digital markets to accelerate growth. Evidenced by the acquisition of Authentic Gaming, enabling us for the first time to enter the Live Casino market and previously announced acquisitions of Lightning Box and Koukoi. Organic investment includes content R&D, advancing our platforms, our Las Vegas iGaming studio and high-return capital investment.
•Significantly de-levering, transforming the balance sheet with meaningful progress organically. We have paid down $635 million of debt since October of last year, including the $135 million payment in October of 2021, fully paying down our revolver. Our net debt leverage ratio has declined by 4 turns to 6.6x since the beginning of this year. With the sale of Lottery and Sports Betting businesses for $7 billion, we will radically and quickly transform our balance sheet, with expected closing in the second quarter of 2022.

Third Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights:
•Third quarter consolidated revenue was $539 million compared to $432 million, up 25% compared to the prior year period. Our Gaming business demonstrated continued momentum in our North American market including gains in Gaming Ops, Game Sales and our Tables business. Revenue also benefited from growth in our iGaming business driven by strong gains in the U.S. revenues, up 109%, and U.S. market share growing 200bps to 27%.
•Net income from continuing operations was $100 million compared to a net loss of $187 million in the prior year period due to a $181 million income tax benefit as a result of the partial reversal of our valuation allowance on deferred taxes and strong revenues in the Gaming business segment, which were significantly impacted by COVID-19 disruptions in the prior year period. The prior year period also included temporary austerity measures that were implemented due to COVID-19 disruptions and certain Gaming business segment inventory and credit loss charges, none of which recurred in the current year period.
•Consolidated AEBITDA from continuing operations, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $203 million compared to $117 million, up 74% as compared to the prior year period, driven by triple-digit AEBITDA growth in Gaming and double-digit AEBITDA growth in iGaming.
•Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations was $89 million compared to $32 million in the prior year period on improved operating results, and $187 million on the combined basis.
•Combined Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $130 million, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations. This represents strong improvement from the prior quarter, excluding the U.K. FOBT recovery of $38 million in the 2nd quarter of this year.
•Net debt leverage ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, declined as we paid down $635 million of debt since October 2020, including a voluntary $135 million payment subsequent to quarter end on the revolving credit facility, reducing debt outstanding to $8,846 million at the end of the 3rd quarter. Net debt leverage declined to 6.6x, a reduction of 4 turns, down from 10.5x since the beginning of the year.

Key Highlights
•Gaming revenue increased to $339 million, up 47% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by strong growth in Gaming operations due to an increase in our premium installed base as well as growth in Game Sales and our Table Games business. AEBITDA grew 123% from the prior year driven by strong growth in revenues coupled with lower allowance for credit loss and inventory valuation charges. Gaming revenue and AEBITDA would have grown sequentially absent the U.K. FOBT recovery in the 2nd quarter.
•Gaming Operations revenue increased driven by success of our new product roadmap including our new game launches as well as the growing footprint of our Kascada™ cabinet. Our North American premium installed base grew for the 5th consecutive quarter, which translates to a total increase of 20% over such period, with the premium installed base now at 42% of the total installed base. Performance in the current quarter also benefited from an increase in the average daily revenue per unit compared to the prior year period. North American Game Ops revenues and the premium installed base exceeded 2019 levels. Dancing Drums Explosion, Coin Combo and Ultimate Fire Link were top performing games in the quarter.
•SciPlay revenue was $147 million, a slight decrease from the prior year period due primarily to a temporary event, isolated in Jackpot Party Casino®, which has since been addressed, partially offset by strong monetization metrics and record growth at Gold Fish Casino®. We expect SciPlay to return to growth both year over year and sequentially in the fourth quarter. SciPlay’s focus on payers and live ops has sustained strong engagement and monetization metrics compared to pre-COVID levels with average quarterly revenue running approximately 25% higher and AMRPPU approximately $10 higher than in 2019.
•iGaming revenue increased 6% and AEBITDA grew 13% from the prior year period with performance driven by the strength of our original content, elevated U.S. GGR and an increase in our U.S. market share partially offset by seasonal trends, historically. U.S. revenue grew 109% compared to the prior year and U.S. share increased 200bps to 27% in the quarter. Since the third quarter of 2019, wagers processed through our iGaming platform have increased from $9.0 billion to $16.9 billion.
•SciPlay merger proposal, submitted on July 15th, is awaiting the outcome of SciPlay’s special committee process. SciPlay announced the appointment of the special committee of the SciPlay Board on August 10th, 2021. The proposal is for Scientific Games to acquire the remaining 19% equity interest that the Company does not currently own, in an all-stock transaction.
•Authentic Gaming was acquired on November 3, a premium provider of live casino solutions, providing a foothold in a key vertical and the fastest growing part of the iGaming market. The acquisition enhances our premium product offering and is highly synergistic with our leading iGaming platform and our land-based proprietary table game content.
LIQUIDITY
•Principal face value of debt outstanding of $8,976 million decreased by $431 million compared to the prior year period.
•Net debt leverage ratio, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, declined as we paid down $635 million of debt since October 2020, including a voluntary $135 million payment subsequent to quarter end on the revolving credit facility, reducing debt outstanding to $8,846 million at the end of the 3rd quarter. Net debt leverage declined to 6.6x, a reduction of 4 turns, down from 10.5x since the beginning of the year.
•Net debt, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, of $8,132 million decreased by $259 million compared to the prior year period.
•Capital expenditures from continuing operations were $43 million and including discontinued operations capital expenditures totaled $64 million in the third quarter of 2021.
•Net cash provided by operating activities was $187 million compared to $140 million in the prior year period.
•Combined Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $130 million, which includes both continuing and discontinued operations. The growth in combined free cash flow was driven by growth in earnings.

You should also note that this press release may contain references to industry market data and certain industry forecasts. Industry market data and industry forecasts are obtained from publicly available information and industry publications. Industry publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of that information is not guaranteed. Although we believe industry information to be accurate, it is not independently verified by us and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of that information. In general, we believe there is less publicly available information concerning the international gaming, lottery, social and digital gaming industries than the same industries in the U.S.
Due to rounding, certain numbers presented herein may not precisely agree or add up on a cumulative basis to the totals previously reported.
As described below, we have reclassified certain prior period amounts within this release to be consistent with the current period presentation for discontinued operations, which we believe is more meaningful to readers of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Unless otherwise stated, information in this release relates to continuing operations.
Discontinued Operations
On September 27, 2021, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Sports Betting business to Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (“Endeavor”) in a cash and stock transaction, subject to certain customary adjustments. On October 27, 2021, we announced that we had entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Lottery business to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. together with its institutional partners in a cash transaction, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. In light of these pending divestitures, activity for our Lottery business and the Sports Betting business presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations presented herein have been reclassified to discontinued operations and prior period Lottery and Sports Betting balance sheet balances have been reclassified to the Asset and Liabilities held for sale lines on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet presented herein in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations. Following such reclassification, the basis of accounting and presentation of financial statements by the Lottery and Sports Betting
businesses in the future in connection with their planned divestitures may differ materially from those of the Company, including as presented herein.
We report our operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. Our former Digital segment has been renamed to iGaming and the presentation was recast for all periods to exclude the Sports Betting business.
Gaming Business Segment AEBITDA and Consolidated AEBITDA (representing our continuing operations) Changes
As a result of our strategic changes and pending divestitures of our Lottery and Sports Betting businesses, starting with the third quarter of 2021, we changed our Gaming business segment AEBITDA and Consolidated AEBITDA (representing our continuing operations) to exclude EBITDA from equity investments. Our Lottery business segment has historically operated through joint ventures in certain jurisdictions and has comprised the primary component of our EBITDA from equity investments included in our Consolidated AEBITDA. As a result of the pending divestiture of the Lottery business, we have re-assessed how our Chief Operating Decision Maker evaluates the operating results and performance of our Gaming business segment. This reassessment resulted in a change to the calculation of Gaming business segment AEBITDA, which is our primary measure of the Gaming business segment performance measure of profit or loss. Accordingly, Gaming business segment AEBITDA has been recast to exclude EBITDA from equity investments to align with this new view, which similarly impacts Consolidated AEBITDA. The Gaming business segment information and Consolidated AEBITDA for the prior comparable periods have been recast to exclude EBITDA from equity investments. Following such reclassification, the basis of accounting and presentation of financial statements by the Lottery and Sports Betting businesses in the future in connection with their planned divestitures may differ materially from those of the Company, including as presented herein.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures: Consolidated AEBITDA, AEBITDA from discontinued operations, Combined AEBITDA, Free cash flow (representing continuing operations), Free cash flow from discontinued operations, Combined free cash flow, EBITDA from equity investments included in discontinued operations, and Net debt and Net debt leverage ratio (each, as described more fully below). These non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental disclosures. They should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Specifically, the Company’s management uses Consolidated AEBITDA to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company’s continuing operations; (ii) facilitate management’s internal and external comparisons of the Company’s consolidated historical operating performance; and (iii) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and operating budgets.
In addition, the Company’s management uses Consolidated AEBITDA to facilitate management’s external comparisons of the Company’s consolidated results from continuing operations to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels.
The Company’s management uses Net debt and Net debt leverage ratio in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage.
As described in this earning release, the Company is in the process of divesting our Lottery and Sports Betting businesses (the latter of which was a component of our former Digital business segment, which was renamed to iGaming beginning in the third quarter of 2021) and as such, historic financial information for these businesses is classified as discontinued operations, as described above. The Company’s management believes that Combined AEBITDA and Combined free cash flow are useful during the period until the dispositions occur as they provide management and investors with information regarding the Company’s combined financial condition and operating performance under the current structure, including for prior period comparisons, as the Company is finalizing the divestitures and transforming the Company’s strategy.
Additionally, as the businesses held for sale are still subject to our debt agreements, the Company uses Combined AEBITDA in determining its debt compliance as required under its debt covenants. In addition, as these entities are still consolidated, Combined free cash flow provides greater visibility into cash available for the continuing operations to use in investing and financing decisions as this Free cash flow remains available for such decisions.
The Company’s management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide management and investors with information regarding the Company’s financial condition and operating performance that is an integral part of management’s reporting and planning processes. In particular, the Company’s management believes that Consolidated AEBITDA and Combined AEBITDA are helpful because these non-GAAP financial measures eliminate the effects of restructuring, transaction, integration or other items that management believes are less indicative of the ongoing underlying performance of continuing operations or on a combined basis, (as more fully described below) and are better evaluated separately. Moreover, management believes EBITDA from equity investments included in discontinued operations is useful to investors because the Company’s Lottery business is conducted
through a number of equity investments, and this measure eliminates financial items from the equity investees’ earnings that management believes have less bearing on the equity investees’ performance. Management believes that Free cash flow and Combined free cash flow provide useful information regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to service debt and fund investments. Management also believes that Free cash flow and Combined free cash flow are useful for investors because they provide investors with important perspectives on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment, necessary license payments to support the ongoing business operations, adjustments for changes in restricted cash impacting working capital and taking into account cash flows relating to the Company’s equity investments.
Additionally, management believes that AEBITDA from discontinued operations and Free cash flow from discontinued operations provide useful information regarding the Company’s operations that are in the process of being divested and provide the impact of those businesses on the overall financial results for the periods presented as they currently remain under the current structure of the Company. These non-GAAP measures are derived based on the historical records and include only those direct costs that are allocated to discontinued operations and as such do not include all of the expenses that would have been incurred by these businesses as a standalone company or other Corporate and shared allocations and such differences might be material.
Consolidated AEBITDA (representing AEBITDA from continuing operations)
Consolidated AEBITDA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measures that is presented as a supplemental disclosure of the Company’s continuing operations and is reconciled to net income (loss) from continuing operations as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to SGC to Consolidated AEBITDA - Continuing Operations.” Consolidated AEBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Consolidated AEBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. See the Gaming Business Segment AEBITDA change above also impacting the definition and calculation of Consolidated AEBITDA. Consolidated AEBITDA for the prior comparable periods has been recast to reflect this change.
Consolidated AEBITDA is reconciled to net income (loss) attributable to SGC and includes the following adjustments: (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest; (2) net income from discontinued operations, net of tax; (3) restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition costs and other unusual items; (4) depreciation and amortization expense and impairment charges and goodwill impairments; (5) change in fair value of investments and remeasurement of debt; (6) interest expense; (7) income tax expense; (8) stock-based compensation; (9) loss on debt financing transactions; and (10) other expense (income), net including foreign currency (gains), and losses and earnings from equity investments.

AEBITDA from discontinued operations may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

In addition to the preceding adjustments, we exclude (earnings) loss from equity investments and add (without duplication) discontinued operations pro rata share of EBITDA from equity investments, which represents their share of earnings (whether or not distributed) before income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest expense, net of our joint ventures and minority investees, which is included in our calculation of AEBITDA from discontinued operations.
Combined AEBITDA
Combined AEBITDA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that combines Consolidated AEBITDA (representing our continuing operations), AEBITDA from discontinued operations and EBITDA from equity investments included in continuing operations and is presented as a supplemental disclosure. Combined AEBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Combined AEBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
