Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)                                 Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2005, the consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, and the consolidated condensed statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005, have been prepared by Scientific Games Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we” or the “Company”) without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of the Company at June 30, 2005 and the results of its operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005 and its cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005 have been made.

 

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for the period ended June 30, 2005 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

 

The Company has reclassified $39,850 of Auction Rate Securities from Cash and cash equivalents to Short-term investments at June 30, 2004.  The cash flows from these investments are presented as operating cash flows for all periods presented.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

The aggregate number of shares that the Company could be obligated to issue upon conversion of its $275,000 0.75% convertible senior subordinated debentures due 2024 (the “Convertible Debentures”), which the Company sold in December 2004, is approximately 9,450. The Convertible Debentures provide for net share settlement upon exercise, and the Company has purchased a bond hedge to mitigate the potential dilution from conversion. Such shares were excluded from the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 calculations as they were anti-dilutive.  (See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2004 in the Company’s 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.)

 

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company has chosen to continue to account for stock-based compensation using the intrinsic-value method prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees”.  Accordingly, no stock compensation expense has been recognized for a majority of its stock-based compensation plans.  Had the Company elected to recognize compensation cost based on the fair value of the stock options at the date of grant under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (“SFAS 123”) as amended by SFAS No.148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation Transition and Disclosure, an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 123” (“SFAS 148”), such costs would have been recognized ratably over the vesting period of the underlying instruments and the Company’s net income and net income per share would have changed to the pro forma amounts indicated in the table below:

(2)                                 Acquisitions

 

In April 2005, the Company acquired the remaining 35% minority interest in Scientific Games Latin America S.A. (“SGLA”), a supplier of lottery tickets, pre-paid phone cards and promotional games in Latin America.  The Company originally acquired a 65% interest in SGLA in June 2002.  Pursuant to the April 2005 transactions, the Company paid approximately $19,600 for the purchase price of the minority interest and additional amounts of approximately $4,300 for the balance of the purchase price for the 2002 acquisition, repayment of a prior loan to the minority shareholders, and the minority shareholders’ pro-rata share of dividends.

 

The excess of the additional purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. The operating results of SGLA have been included in the Company’s operating income since the initial acquisition of the 65% interest in 2002, with the minority portion of such earnings included as a deduction in “Other expense”. In the second quarter of 2005, this deduction ceased.

 

On December 31, 2004, the Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of Printpool Honsel GmbH (“Honsel”), a German company which is the supplier of instant tickets to all of the 16 state operated lotteries in Germany and sells other lottery products, such as bet slips and paper rolls, to customers in approximately 25 countries.  The purchase price was approximately $21,000 in cash and additional amounts of up to approximately $10,500 in cash upon achievement of certain performance levels over the next five years. The operating results of Honsel have been included in the Company’s consolidated operating results since January 1, 2005.  Had the operating results of Honsel been included as if the transaction had been consummated on January 1, 2004, the Company’s pro forma operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 would not have been materially different from the actual reported results.  The preliminary estimate of goodwill of approximately $12,400 from the acquisition of Honsel is not deductible for tax purposes. Additionally, other assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction, such as certain intangible assets, property and equipment, current assets and liabilities and debt were included in the preliminary purchase price allocation.

(4)                                 Income Tax Expense

 

The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 of approximately 28.1% and 29.0%, respectively, differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% due to benefits from expanded business outside the United States, the 2004 debt restructuring and increasing research and development activities. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 was approximately 31.5%, which differed from the federal statutory rate of 35% due primarily to benefits from the realization of foreign tax credits and the implementation of the extra-territorial income exclusion regime.  On October 22, 2004, the American Jobs Creation Act (“the Act”) was signed into law.  The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividend received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations.  As of June 30, 2005 the Company has decided not to repatriate any qualifying earnings under the Act.

(8)                                 Debt

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company had approximately $218,451 available for borrowing under the Company’s revolving credit facility, which was entered into in December 2004, as part of the Company’s senior secured credit facility (the “2004 Facility”).  There were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit facility, but approximately $31,549 in letters of credit were issued and outstanding at June 30, 2005.  At December 31, 2004, the Company’s available borrowing capacity under the revolving credit facility was $199,900.  At June 30, 2005, there was $99,500 in outstanding Term Loans under the 2004 Facility.

 

The Credit Agreement governing the 2004 Facility (the “Credit Agreement”) contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability, and the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, consummate certain asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets.  Additionally, the Credit Agreement contains the following financial covenants that are computed quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis as applicable:

 

                  A maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75, which will be reduced according to the terms of the 2004 Credit Agreement on July 1, 2006, from which date until December 2009 the ratio shall be 3.50.  Consolidated Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (x) the aggregate stated balance sheet amount of the Company’s indebtedness determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made to (y) Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made.

 

                  A minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.00 until December 2009.  Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio computed for the Company’s four most recent fiscal quarters of (x) Consolidated EBITDA to (y) the sum of (i) total interest expense less non-cash amortization costs included in interest expense, (ii) scheduled payments of principal on indebtedness, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) all income taxes paid in cash.

 

                  A maximum Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio of 2.00, which will be reduced according to the terms of the 2004 Credit Agreement on July 1, 2006, from which date until December 2009 the ratio shall be 1.75.  Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio means the ratio of (x) the aggregate stated balance sheet amount of the Company’s indebtedness, less the amount of the Company’s 12 1/2% senior subordinated notes (the “2000 Notes”), the Company’s 6.25% senior subordinated notes due 2012 (the “2004 Notes”) and the Convertible Debentures determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made to (y) Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made.

 

15



 

For purposes of the foregoing limitations, Consolidated EBITDA means the sum of (i) consolidated net income, (ii) consolidated interest expense with respect to all outstanding indebtedness, (iii) provision for taxes based on income, (iv) total depreciation expense, (v) total amortization expense and (vi) certain adjustments, in each case for the period being measured, all of the foregoing as determined on a consolidated basis for the Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP.

 

The Company was in compliance with its loan covenants as of June 30, 2005.

(10)                          Pension Plans

 

The Company has two funded defined benefit pension plans. It has a defined benefit plan for its U.S. based union employees. Retirement benefits under this plan are based upon the number of years of credited service, up to a maximum of 30 years for the majority of the employees.  It also has a defined benefit plan for U.K. based employees.  Retirement benefits under the U.K. plan are based on an employee’s average compensation over the two years preceding retirement.  The Company’s policy is to fund the minimum contribution permitted by the respective regulatory authorities.  The Company estimates that the amount to be funded in year 2005 will be approximately $2,500.

 

In connection with its U.S. based collective bargaining agreements, the Company participates with other companies in a defined benefit pension plan covering union employees. The Company expects to make payments to the multi-employer plan of approximately $250 during the year ending December 31, 2005.

 

The Company has a 401(k) plan covering all U.S. based employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. Company contributions to the plan are at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors.  The Company has a 401(k) plan for all union employees which does not provide for Company contributions.

 

The Company has an unfunded nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the “SERP”) and an unfunded nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plan.

(11)                          Stockholders’ Equity

 

At June 30, 2005, the Company had a total of 2,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value, authorized for issuance, including 229 authorized shares of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and 1 authorized share of Series B Preferred Stock. No shares of preferred stock are currently outstanding.

 

In August 2004, holders of all of the Company’s then outstanding Series A Convertible Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock were issued an aggregate of 23,832 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock in connection with their conversion, representing a conversion price of $5.56 per share. Prior to conversion, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock required dividend payments at a rate of 6% per annum. Prior to 2004, we satisfied the dividend requirement using additional shares of convertible preferred stock.  In 2004 the Company paid the dividends in cash totaling $3,964.

 

(12)                          Litigation

 

On May 9, 2005, Scientific Games Royalty Corporation, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Scientific Games Corporation, filed suit against GTECH Corporation in Federal District Court of Delaware alleging patent infringement of the Company’s group participation multiplier patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,648,753 and 6,692,354.  These patents apply to online lottery games that have an optional bonus wager as a feature of the game.  In the event that a player wins a prize in the base game and has chosen to make the bonus wager, all of the player’s prizes in the base game, with the exception of the jackpot amount, may be multiplied by a randomly selected multiplier.  The Company believes that GTECH currently provides such games that infringe the Company’s applicable patents in various jurisdictions in the United States.  The Company’s lawsuit seeks damages and other relief for such infringement.

 

On or about April 6, 2005, the Company was served with a complaint in the Texas state court action captioned GTECH Holdings Corporation and GTECH Corporation v. Scientific Games International, Inc. previously described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  The Company continues to believe that the plaintiffs’ claims lack merit and intends to contest them vigorously.

(13)                          Financial Information for Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries

 

The Company conducts substantially all of its business through its domestic and foreign subsidiaries.  The 2004 Notes, the Convertible Debentures and the 2004 Facility are fully, unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by substantially all of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

 

Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for (i) Scientific Games Corporation (the “Parent Company”), which includes the activities of Scientific Games Management Corporation, (ii) the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (iii) the wholly owned foreign subsidiaries and the non-wholly owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”) as of December 31, 2004 and June 30, 2005 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 and 2005.  The condensed consolidating financial information has been presented to show the nature of assets held, results of operations and cash flows of the Parent Company, Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, assuming the guarantee structure of the 2004 Facility, the Convertible Debentures and the 2004 Notes were in effect at the beginning of the periods presented.  Separate financial statements for Guarantor Subsidiaries are not presented based on management’s determination that they would not provide additional information that is material to investors.

 

The condensed consolidating financial information reflects the investments of the Parent Company in the Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting.  Corporate interest and administrative expenses have not been allocated to the subsidiaries.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

Background

 

The following discussion addresses our financial condition as of June 30, 2005 and the results of our operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. This discussion should be read in conjunction with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004, included in our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

We operate in four business segments: Lottery Group, Pari-mutuel Group, Venue Management Group and Telecommunications Products Group. Our Lottery Group provides instant tickets and related services and lottery systems. Instant ticket and related services includes ticket design and manufacturing as well as value-added services, including game design, sales and marketing support, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. Additionally, this division provides lotteries with over 80 licensed brand products, including NASCAR®, Mandalay Bay®, National Basketball Association®, Harley-Davidson®, Wheel-of-Fortune®, Hasbro®, Corvette® and The World Series of Poker®.  This division also includes promotional instant tickets and pull-tab tickets that we sell to both lottery and non-lottery customers. Our lottery systems business includes the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of both instant ticket and online lottery games, point-of-sale terminal hardware sales, central site computers and communication hardware sales, and ongoing support and maintenance services for these products. This business also includes software and hardware and support services for sports betting and operation of credit card processing systems.

 

On December 31, 2004, we acquired Printpool Honsel GmbH (“Honsel”), a German company which is the supplier of instant lottery tickets to all of the 16 state operated lotteries in Germany and sells other lottery products, such as bet slips and paper rolls, to customers in approximately 25 countries.  We expect that our acquisition of Honsel will enable us to further expand into the European lottery market.

 

In April 2005, we acquired the remaining 35% minority interest in Scientific Games Latin America S.A. (“SGLA”), a supplier of lottery tickets, pre-paid phone cards and promotional games in Latin America.  We originally acquired a 65% interest in SGLA in June 2002.

 

Our Pari-mutuel Group is comprised of our North American and international on-track, off-track and inter-track pari-mutuel wagering services, simulcasting and communications services, and telephone and internet account wagering systems, as well as sales of pari-mutuel systems and equipment.

 

Our Venue Management Group is comprised of our Connecticut off-track betting operations, which include 11 off-track betting facilities and telephone account wagering for customers in 26 states, our Maine off-track betting facility and our on-track and off-track betting operations in the Netherlands, which consist of four on-track and 28 off-track betting operations.

 

Our Telecommunications Products Group is comprised of our prepaid cellular phone cards business.

 

The first and fourth quarters of the calendar year traditionally comprise the weakest season for our pari-mutuel wagering business. As a result of inclement weather during the winter months, a number of racetracks do not operate and those that do operate often experience missed racing days. This adversely affects the amounts wagered and our corresponding service revenues. Wagering and lottery equipment sales and software license revenues usually reflect a limited number of large transactions, which do not recur on an annual basis. Consequently, revenues and operating results can vary substantially from period to period as a result of the timing of revenue recognition for major equipment sales and software licensing transactions. In addition, instant ticket and prepaid phone card sales may vary depending on the season and timing of contract awards, changes in customer budgets, inventory ticket levels, lottery retail sales and general economic conditions.

 

Operating results may also vary significantly from period to period depending on the addition or disposition of business units in each period.

Results of Operations: See Note 3—Business Segments

 

Three Months Ended June 30, 2005 compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2004

 

Revenue Analysis

 

For the quarter ended June 30, 2005, revenues of $197.4 million were up $19.3 million or 11% as compared to the prior year quarter, due to a $13.3 million or 9% increase in service revenue coupled with a $6.0 million or 20% increase in sales revenue.

 

The increase in service revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 is primarily attributable to a $16.6 million or 15% increase in service revenues in the Lottery Group resulting from continued strong sales of instant lottery tickets and licensed game properties, partially offset by the loss of approximately $7.9 million of revenues on the Florida lottery contract which ended in January 2005. Pari-mutuel Group service revenues decreased $2.8 million, reflecting lower wagering and the loss of the New York Racing Association contract. Venue Management Group service revenues decreased $0.5 million due to lower wagering, in part because of the smoking ban instituted in Connecticut in the second quarter of 2004.

 

The $6.0 million increase in sales revenue in the quarter ended June 30, 2005 is primarily attributable to a $3.8 million increase in the Lottery Group mainly due to the addition of Honsel from the beginning of fiscal year 2005, a $1.7 million increase in system and equipment sales in the Pari-mutuel Group, and a $0.5 million improvement in revenues in the Telecommunications Products Group.

 

Gross Profit Analysis

 

Gross profit of $82.6 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased $4.5 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2004, due to a $3.2 million increase in service revenue margins coupled with a $1.3 million improvement in sales revenue gross margins. Gross margins were 42% in 2005 and 44% in 2004. The $8.4 million increase in the Lottery Group gross profit related mostly to higher service revenues. The $3.8 million decrease in services revenue margins in the Pari-mutuel Group reflects lower service revenues and increases in operating costs. Venue Management Group gross profit decreased $0.7 million as a result of lower service revenues and higher operating costs. Telecommunications Products Group gross profit increased $0.1 million from the prior year as a result of higher sales revenues.

 

Expense Analysis

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $25.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 were $2.7 million lower than in the corresponding period in 2004.  This decrease is primarily due to decreases in sales and marketing costs, compensation and professional service fees.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of service contract software, of $17.1 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased $1.7 million from the corresponding period in 2004.  Interest expense of $6.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 decreased $1.0 million from 2004, primarily reflecting the benefits of the debt restructuring completed in December 2004.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense of $9.7 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 increased $0.7 million from 2004. The financial statement income tax provision was 28.1% in 2005 and 31.5% in 2004. The lower effective rate in 2005 is due to benefits from expanded business outside the United States, the 2004 debt restructuring and increasing research and development activities.

 

27



 

Six Months Ended June 30, 2005 compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2004

 

Revenue Analysis

 

For the six months ended June 30, 2005, revenues of $382.0 million were up $18.4 million or 5% as compared to the comparable period in the prior year, due to a $27.4 million or 9% increase in service revenue partially offset by a $9.0 million or 12% decrease in sales revenue.

 

The increase in service revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2005 is primarily attributable to a $32.7 million or 15% increase in service revenues in the Lottery Group resulting from continued strong sales of instant lottery tickets and licensed game properties, partially offset by approximately $14.0 million of lower revenues on the Florida lottery contract which ended in January 2005. Pari-mutuel Group service revenues decreased $3.8 million, reflecting lower wagering and the loss of the New York Racing Association contract. Venue Management Group service revenues decreased $1.4 million due to lower wagering, in part because of the smoking ban instituted in Connecticut in the second quarter of 2004.

 

The $9.0 million decrease in sales revenue in the six months ended June 30, 2005 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year is primarily attributable to a $12.3 million decrease in the Lottery Group relating to non-recurring systems and equipment sales in the first quarter of 2004 partially offset by the addition of Honsel from the beginning of fiscal year 2005, a $1.4 million increase in system and equipment sales in the Pari-mutuel Group, and a $1.8 million improvement in revenues in the Telecommunications Products Group, due primarily to higher sales volume, partially offset by lower prices.

 

Gross Profit Analysis

 

Gross profit of $160.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $4.4 million as compared to the corresponding period in the corresponding period in 2004, due to a $7.8 million increase in service revenue margins partially offset by a $3.4 million decrease in sales revenue gross margins. Gross margins were 42% in 2005 and 43% in 2004. The $10.3 million increase in the Lottery Group gross profit related mostly to higher service revenues. The $5.2 million decrease in services revenue margins in the Pari-mutuel Group reflects the result of lower service revenues and increases in operating costs. Venue Management Group gross profit decreased $1.8 million as a result of lower service revenues and higher operating costs. Telecommunications Products Group gross profit increased $0.9 million as a result of higher sales revenues.

 

Expense Analysis

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses of $53.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 were $0.9 million lower than in 2004.  This decrease is primarily due to decreased compensation and professional service fees.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of service contract software, of $31.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $1.0 million from the corresponding period in 2004.  Interest expense of $13.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 decreased $2.0 million from 2004, primarily reflecting the benefits of the debt restructuring completed in December 2004.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

Income tax expense of $18.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 increased $0.4 million from 2004. The financial statement income tax provision was 29.0% in 2005 and 31.5% in 2004. The lower effective rate in 2005 is due to benefits from expanded business outside the United States, the 2004 debt restructuring and increasing research and development activities.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Preparing consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. These estimates and assumptions are affected by the application of our accounting policies. Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to our 2004 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Critical accounting policies are those that require application of management’s most difficult, subjective, or complex judgments, often as a result of matters that are inherently uncertain and may change in subsequent periods. Critical accounting policies for us include revenue recognition on percentage of completion contracts related to lottery development projects and pari-mutuel systems software development projects, capitalization of software development costs, evaluation of the recoverability of assets, the

 

28



 

assessment of litigation and contingencies, accounting for stock-based compensation, accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities, and accounting for income and other taxes. Actual results could differ from estimates.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital

 

As of June 30, 2005, our senior secured credit facility (the “2004 Facility”) consists of a $250.0 million revolving credit facility due 2009 and a $99.5 million Term Loan B due 2009. The 2004 Facility contains certain financial covenants which are described below. At June 30, 2005, approximately 18% of our debt, representing approximately $103.4 million of indebtedness, was in variable rate instruments. Consequently, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. The effect of a 0.125% change in interest rates associated with our unhedged variable rate debt will result in a change of approximately $0.1 million per year in our interest expense, assuming no change in our outstanding borrowings.

 

Our financing arrangements as of June 30, 2005 impose certain limitations on our and our subsidiaries’ operations.

 

The credit agreement governing the 2004 Facility (the “2004 Credit Agreement”) contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit our ability, and the ability of certain of our subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make distributions or certain other restricted payments, purchase or redeem capital stock, make investments or extend credit, engage in certain transactions with affiliates, engage in sale-leaseback transactions, consummate certain assets sales, effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, and create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets.  Additionally, the 2004 Credit Agreement contains the following financial covenants, which are computed quarterly on a rolling four-quarter basis as applicable:

 

A maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio of 3.75, which will be reduced according to the terms of the 2004 Credit Agreement on July 1, 2006, from which date until December 2009 the ratio shall be 3.50.  Consolidated Leverage Ratio means the ratio of (x) the aggregate stated balance sheet amount of our indebtedness determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made to (y) Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made.

 

A minimum Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of 1.00 until December 2009. Consolidated Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio means, as of any date of determination, the ratio computed for our four most recent fiscal quarters of (x) Consolidated EBITDA to (y) the sum of (i) total interest expense less non-cash amortization costs included in interest expense, (ii) scheduled payments of principal on indebtedness, (iii) capital expenditures and (iv) all income taxes paid in cash.

 

A maximum Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio of 2.00, which will be reduced according to the terms of the 2004 Credit Agreement on July 1, 2006, from which date until December 2009 the ratio shall be 1.75. Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio means the ratio of (x) the aggregate stated balance sheet amount of our indebtedness, less the amount of the 2000 Notes, the 2004 Notes and the Convertible Debentures, determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with GAAP as of the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made to (y) Consolidated EBITDA for the four consecutive fiscal quarters ended on the last day of the fiscal quarter for which such determination is being made.

 

For purposes of the foregoing limitations, Consolidated EBITDA means the sum of (i) consolidated net income, (ii) consolidated interest expense with respect to all outstanding indebtedness, (iii) provisions for taxes based on income, (iv) total depreciation expense, (v) total amortization expense and (vi) certain adjustments, in each case for the period being measured, all of the foregoing as determined on a consolidated basis for us and our subsidiaries in accordance with GAAP. Although we were in compliance with our loan covenants at June 30, 2005 and expect to continue to remain in compliance over the next 12 months, no assurances can be provided that we will be able to do so or that we will be able to continue to meet the covenant requirements beyond 12 months.

 

At June 30, 2005, we had outstanding letters of credit of $31.5 million, but no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility, leaving us with a total availability of $218.5 million as compared to $199.9 million at December 31, 2004. Our ability to borrow under the 2004 Facility will depend on our remaining in compliance with the limitations imposed by our lenders, including the maintenance of the specified financial covenants. Presently we have not sought and, therefore, do not have any other financing commitments.

 

Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and future minimum operating lease obligations.

 

In August 2004, the holders of our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock converted all outstanding shares into shares of our Class A Common Stock and we redeemed their holdings of our Series B Preferred Stock for a nominal amount.  Prior to conversion, our Series A Convertible Preferred Stock required dividend payments at a rate of 6% per annum. Prior to 2004, we satisfied the dividend requirement using additional shares of convertible preferred stock.  From March 2004 until conversion in August 2004, we paid the dividend in cash.

 

29



 

Our pari-mutuel wagering and online lottery systems service contracts require us to, among other things, maintain the central computing system and related hardware in efficient working order, provide added software functionality upon request, provide on-site computer operators, and furnish necessary supplies. Our primary expenditures associated with these services are personnel and related costs, which are expensed as incurred and are included in Operating Expenses Services in the consolidated statements of income. Historically, the revenues we derive from our pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems service contracts have exceeded the direct costs associated with fulfilling our obligations thereunder. We expect that we will continue to realize positive cash flow and operating income as we extend or renew existing service contracts. We also expect that we will enter into new contracts that are accretive to our cash flow. In addition, through advancements in technology, we are continually deploying more efficient and cost effective methods for manufacturing and delivering our products and services to our customers. We expect that technological efficiencies will continue to positively impact our future cash flows and operating results. We are not party to any other material short-term or long-term obligations or commitments pursuant to these service contracts.

 

Periodically, we bid on new pari-mutuel and online lottery contracts. Once awarded, these contracts generally require significant up-front capital expenditures for terminal assembly, customization of software, software and equipment installation and telecommunications configuration. Historically we have funded these up-front costs through cash flows generated from operations, available cash on hand and borrowings under our credit facilities. Our ability to continue to procure new contracts will depend on, among other things, our then present liquidity levels and/or our ability to borrow at commercially acceptable rates to finance the initial up front costs. Once operational, long-term service contracts have been accretive to our operating cash flow. For fiscal 2005, we anticipate that capital expenditures and software expenditures could be approximately $95.0 million. However, the actual level of expenditures in fiscal year 2005 and beyond will ultimately largely depend on the extent to which we are successful in winning new contracts.  Furthermore, our pari-mutuel wagering network consists of approximately 26,000 wagering terminals. Periodically, we elect to upgrade the technological capabilities of older terminals and replace terminals that have exhausted their useful lives. We presently have no commitments to replace our existing terminal base, and our obligation to upgrade the terminals is discretionary. Servicing our installed terminal base requires that we maintain a supply of parts and accessories on hand. We are also required, contractually in some cases, to provide spare parts over an extended period of time, principally in connection with our systems and terminal sale transactions. To meet our contractual obligations and maintain sufficient levels of on-hand inventory to service our installed base, we purchase inventory on an as-needed basis. We presently have no inventory purchase obligations, other than in the ordinary course of business.

 

At June 30, 2005, our available cash, short-term investments and borrowing capacity totaled $279.8 million compared to $318.6 million at December 31, 2004. The amount of our available cash and short-term investments fluctuates principally based on the timing of collections from our customers, cash expenditures associated with new and existing pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems contracts, borrowings or repayments under our credit facilities and changes in our working capital position. The decrease in our available cash from the December 31, 2004 level principally reflects the net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2005 of $94.9 million, offset by wagering and other capital expenditures of $62.5 million, acquisition related payments of $24.8 million and $22.5 million of payments on long-term debt.  The $94.9 million of net cash provided by operating activities is derived from $97.6 million of net cash provided by operations less $2.7 million used to fund changes in working capital, net of the change in short-term investments. The working capital changes occurred principally from decreases in short-term investments, offset by increases in accounts receivable, inventories and other current assets and decreases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities. Capital expenditures of $11.9 million in the first half of 2005 are slightly higher than similar expenditures totaling $10.6 million in the corresponding period in 2004. Wagering system expenditures, including software expenditures, totaled $38.4 million in the first half of 2005 compared to $27.2 million in the corresponding period in 2004. This increase is primarily due to the new lottery contracts in Puerto Rico and Colorado. Cash flow from financing activities principally reflects the repayments of borrowings under our 2004 Facility.

 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under the 2004 Facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future; however, we cannot assure you that this will be the case. While we are not aware of any particular trends, our contracts periodically renew and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in sustaining our cash flow from operations through renewal of our existing contracts or through the addition of new contracts. In addition, lottery customers in the United States generally require service providers to provide performance bonds in connection with each state contract. Our ability to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms is subject to prevailing market conditions, which may be impacted by economic and political events. Although we have not experienced any difficulty obtaining such bonds, we cannot assure you that we will continue to be able to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms or at all. While we are not aware of any reason to do so, if we need to refinance all or part of our indebtedness, on or before maturity, or provide letters of credit or cash in lieu of performance bonds, we cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain new financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

 

Further, the terms of the indenture governing our Convertible Debentures give holders the right to convert the Convertible Debentures when the market price of our Class A Common Stock exceeds a defined target market price.  The terms of the indenture require us to pay cash for the face amount of the Convertible Debentures which have been presented for conversion, with the value of the difference between the stated conversion price and the prevailing market price payable by our issuance of additional shares of our Class A Common Stock.

 

30



 

We cannot assure you that we will have sufficient available cash to pay for the Convertible Debentures presented to us for conversion nor can we assure you that we will be able to refinance all or a portion of the converted Convertible Debentures at that time.

 

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

 

In December 2004, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123 (revised 2004), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”).  SFAS 123(R) supersedes APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and its related implementation guidance requires measurement and recognition of compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value of the entity’s equity instruments (with limited exceptions). That cost will be recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award—the requisite service period (usually the vesting period).  SFAS 123(R) allows for two different methods of transition, the modified prospective and modified retrospective.  We are currently evaluating consolidated financial statement impact of the two methods of transition, as well as a valuation technique to adopt for estimating fair value. SFAS 123(R) is effective as of the first interim period or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.  In April 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) amended the compliance date of SFAS 123(R), which will allow companies to implement SFAS 123(R) at the beginning of their next fiscal year, instead of the next reporting period, that begins after June 15, 2005.  We intend to adopt SFAS 123(R) in the first quarter of 2006.

 

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47 (“FIN 47”), “Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligationsan interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143” (“SFAS 143”). FIN 47 clarifies the term conditional asset retirement obligation as used in SFAS 143 and requires a liability to be recorded if the fair value of the obligation can be reasonably estimated. The types of asset retirement obligations that are covered by FIN 47 are those for which an entity has a legal obligation to perform an asset retirement activity; however the timing and/or method of settling the obligation are conditional on a future event that may or may not be within the control of the entity.  FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. FIN 47 is effective no later than fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005. We are currently evaluating the impact of FIN 47 on our financial statements.

 

In May 2005, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 154, “Accounting Changes and Error Corrections—a replacement of APB Opinion No. 20 and FASB Statement No. 3” (“SFAS 154”). SFAS 154 replaces APB Opinion No. 20, “Accounting Changes,” and FASB Statement No. 3, “Reporting Accounting Changes in Interim Financial Statements,” and changes the requirements for the accounting and reporting of a change in accounting principle. This Statement applies to all voluntary changes in accounting principle as well as to changes required by an accounting pronouncement that does not include specific transition provisions. To enhance comparability of prior period financial statements, SFAS 154 requires that changes in accounting principle be retrospectively applied. SFAS 154 is effective for accounting changes and corrections of errors made in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2005. We currently believe that adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 154 will not have a material impact on our financial statements.

 

In July 2005, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position No. APB18-1, “Accounting by an Investor for Its Proportionate Share of Accumaulated Other Comprehensive Income of an Investee Accounted for under the Equity Method In Accordance with APB Opinion No. 18 upon loss of Significant Influence” (“APB 18”).  APB 18 requires that an investor’s proportionate share or an investee’s equity adjustments for other comprehensive income should be offset against the carrying value of the investment at the time significant influence is lost.  APB 18 is effective as of the first reporting period beginning after July 12, 2005.  We are currently evaluating the impact of APB 18 on our financial statements.

 

Recent Developments

 

On August 4, 2005 we announced that we had been awarded a four-year extension from the Kentucky Lottery Corporation worth $20 million.  The agreement commences on October 1, 2005 and includes a provision to convert to a cooperative services model wherein we are paid on a percent of sales basis.

 

On July 17, 2005 we announced that we had completed a five-year deal to supply simulcast services at Tote Investments Racing Service simulcast centers on the island of Barbados.  The estimated value is $5 million over the five-year term of the agreement.

 

On July 7, 2005 we announced that we had been awarded the instant lottery ticket and services contract for the California State Lottery.  The contract is valued at $33 million over an initial term of four years.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

Our products and services are sold to a diverse group of customers throughout the world. As such, we are subject to certain risks and uncertainties as a result of changes in general economic conditions, sources of supply, competition, foreign exchange rates, tax reform, litigation and regulatory developments. The diversity and breadth of our products and geographic operations mitigate the risk that adverse changes from any single event would materially affect our financial position.

 

Additionally, as a result of the diversity of our customer base, we do not consider ourselves exposed to concentration of credit risks. These risks are further minimized by setting credit limits, ongoing monitoring of customer account balances, and assessing of the customers’ financial strengths.

 

Inflation has not had an abnormal or unanticipated effect on our operations. Inflationary pressures would be significant to our business if raw materials used for instant lottery ticket production, prepaid phone card production or terminal manufacturing are significantly affected. Available supply from the paper and electronics industries tends to fluctuate and prices may be affected by supply.

 

For fiscal 2004 and the first half of 2005, inflation was not a significant factor in our results of operations, and we were not impacted by significant pricing changes in our costs, except for personnel related expenditures. We are unable to forecast the prices or supply of substrate, component parts or other raw materials for the balance of 2005, but we currently do not anticipate any substantial changes that will materially affect our operating results.

 

In certain limited cases, our lottery contracts with our customers contain provisions to adjust for inflation on an annual basis, but we cannot be assured that this adjustment would cover raw material price increases or other costs of services. While we have long-term and generally satisfactory relationships with most of our suppliers, we also believe alternative sources to meet our raw material and production needs are available.

 

In the normal course of business, we are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates and equity market risks as we seek debt and equity capital to sustain our operations. At June 30, 2005, approximately 82% of our debt was in fixed rate instruments. We consider the fair value of all financial instruments to be not materially different from their carrying value at year-end. The following table provides information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The table presents principal cash flows and related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates.  (See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital”.)

In 2003, we entered into derivative contracts to hedge part of our foreign currency exposure with respect to future cash receipts under our contract with the Ontario Lottery Commission. These instruments, which had been designated as cash flow hedges, were all settled during the three months ended March 31, 2004 and we recorded a credit to other comprehensive income of $1.1 million for the change in the fair value of these foreign exchange instruments prior to settlement.

 

We are also exposed to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates as the financial results of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars in consolidation. Assets and liabilities outside the United States are primarily located in the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, France, Austria and Chile. Our investments in foreign subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are generally considered long-term investments. Accordingly, we do not hedge these net investments. Translation gains and losses historically have not been material. We manage our foreign currency exchange risks on a global basis by one or more of the following: (i) securing payment from our customers in U.S. dollars, when possible, (ii) utilizing borrowings denominated in foreign currency, and (iii) entering into foreign currency exchange contracts. In addition, a significant portion of the cost attributable to our foreign operations is incurred in the local currencies. We believe that a 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates would not have a significant adverse effect on our net earnings or cash flows. We may, from time to time, enter into foreign currency exchange or other

 

32



 

contracts to hedge the risk associated with certain firm sales commitments, anticipated revenue streams and certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

 

Our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments are in high-quality securities placed with a wide array of financial institutions with high credit ratings. This investment policy limits our exposure to concentration of credit risks.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate,” or the negatives thereof, variations thereon or similar terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are generally located in the material set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” but may be found in other locations as well. These forward-looking statements generally relate to plans and objectives for future operations and are based upon management’s reasonable estimates of future results or trends. Although we believe that the plans and objectives reflected in or suggested by such forward-looking statements are reasonable, such plans or objectives may not be achieved.

 

Actual results may differ from projected results due, but not limited, to unforeseen developments, including developments relating to the following:

 

                  economic, competitive, demographic, business and other conditions in our domestic and international markets;

 

                  changes or developments in the laws, regulations or taxes in the gaming and lottery industries;

 

                  actions taken or omitted to be taken by third parties, including customers, suppliers, competitors, members and shareholders, as well as legislative, regulatory, judicial and other governmental authorities;

 

                  changes in business strategy, capital improvements, development plans, including those due to environmental remediation concerns, or changes in personnel or their compensation, including federal, state and local minimum wage requirements;

 

                  the availability and adequacy of our cash flow to satisfy our obligations, including our debt service obligations and our need for additional funds required to support capital improvements, development and acquisitions;

 

                  an inability to renew or early termination of our contracts;

 

                  an inability to engage in future acquisitions;

 

                  the loss of any license or permit, including the failure to obtain an unconditional renewal of a required gaming license on a timely basis; and

 

                  resolution of any pending or future litigation in a manner adverse to us.

 

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. Federal Securities Laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.  Actual future results may be materially different from what we expect.

 

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

As previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004, we concluded that, as of December 31, 2004, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective in alerting management prior to the end of a reporting period to all material information required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC because we identified that we had a material weakness in the design of internal controls over financial reporting because we had insufficient personnel resources and technical accounting expertise within the accounting function to resolve non-routine or complex accounting matters, such as the treatment of our minority equity interest in an incorporated Italian consortium in 2004.

 

As of June 30, 2005, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)).  Based upon that evaluation, we concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are still not effective in alerting management prior to the end of a reporting period to all material information required to be included in our periodic filings with the SEC because, although we have implemented remediations

 

33



 

designed to address the previously identified material weakness in the design of internal controls over financial reporting, such changes have not been in effect for a sufficient period of time to allow for testing and validation. Therefore, we continue to identify that we had a material weakness in the design of internal controls over financial reporting.

 

We are in the process of remediating this weakness. Subsequent to December 31, 2004, we changed the design of internal controls over non-routine and complex accounting matters through the re-assignment of responsibilities for certain accounting personnel, the identification of an outside resource at a recognized professional services company that we can consult with on complex issues, the formation of two internal management accounting committees, comprised of financial managers from each division of certain of our significant subsidiaries and other senior corporate accounting staff, which are responsible for reviewing all non-routine and complex accounting matters and preparing formal reports on their conclusions, and conducting quarterly reviews and discussions of all non-routine and complex accounting matters with our registered independent public accountants. We believe we have substantially addressed the identified weakness through the change in the design of our internal controls, and subject to confirmation of the effectiveness of our implementation of these remediation measures, anticipate that the material weakness should be remediated prior to the end of fiscal 2005.  We are continuing to evaluate additional controls and procedures which we can implement and may add additional accounting personnel during fiscal 2005 to enhance our technical accounting resources. We do not anticipate that the cost of this remediation effort will be material to our financial statements.

 

There was no material change in our internal control over financial reporting in the quarter ended June 30, 2005.

SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Six Months Ended June 30, 2005

 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

 

Item 1.      Legal Proceedings

 

On May 9, 2005, Scientific Games Royalty Corporation, a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Scientific Games Corporation, filed suit against GTECH Corporation in Federal District Court of Delaware alleging patent infringement of our group participation multiplier patents, U.S. Patent Nos. 6,648,753 and 6,692,354.  These patents apply to online lottery games that have an optional bonus wager as a feature of the game.  In the event that a player wins a prize in the base game and has chosen to make the bonus wager, all of the player’s prizes in the base game, with the exception of the jackpot amount, may be multiplied by a randomly selected multiplier.  We believe that GTECH currently provides such games that infringe our applicable patents in various jurisdictions in the United States.  Our lawsuit seeks damages and other relief for such infringement.

 

On or about April 6, 2005, we were served with a complaint in the Texas state court action captioned GTECH Holdings Corporation and GTECH Corporation v. Scientific Games International, Inc. previously described in our Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004.  We continue to believe that the plaintiffs’ claims lack merit and intend to contest them vigorously.
