Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of the Business

We are a leading cross-platform global games company with a focus on content and digital markets. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities primarily includes supplying game content and gaming machines, CMSs and table game products and services to licensed gaming entities; providing social casino and other mobile games, including casual gaming, to retail customers; and providing a comprehensive suite of digital gaming content, distribution platforms and player account management systems, as well as various other iGaming content and services. We report our results of operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of L&W, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

In the opinion of L&W and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2023 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.

Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2023 10-K.    

Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Income Attributable to L&W Per Share

Basic and diluted net income attributable to L&W per share are based upon net income attributable to L&W divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income attributable to L&W per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and RSUs only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive to net income.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we included 2 million of common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted net income attributable to L&W per share.

New Accounting Guidance

There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since those described within the Notes of our 2023 10-K that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
