Forward-Looking Statements

 

Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q we make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Forward-looking statements describe future expectations, plans, results or strategies and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “could,” “potential,” “opportunity,” 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 statements are based upon management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of future results or performance.  Actual results may differ materially from those projected in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, including, among other things: competition; material adverse changes in economic and industry conditions in our markets; technological change; retention and renewal of existing contracts and entry into new contracts; availability and adequacy of cash flow to satisfy obligations and indebtedness or future needs; protection of intellectual property; security and integrity of software and systems; laws and government regulation, including those relating to gaming licenses, permits and operations; inability to identify, complete and integrate future acquisitions; seasonality; ability to enhance and develop successful gaming concepts; dependence on suppliers and manufacturers; liability for product defects; factors associated with foreign operations; influence of certain stockholders; dependence on key personnel; failure to perform on contracts; resolution of pending or future litigation; labor matters; and stock price volatility.  Additional information regarding risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements is set forth from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.   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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1) Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009, the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, have been prepared by Scientific Games Corporation and are unaudited.  When used in these notes, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and “Company” refer to Scientific Games Corporation and all entities included in our consolidated financial statements unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise indicates.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position as of March 31, 2009, the results of our operations for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 and our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 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 have been condensed or omitted.  These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The results of operations for the period ended March 31, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for a full year.

 

Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Share

 

The following represents a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in computing basic and diluted net income per share available to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008:

During the first quarter of 2009, there were no dilutive stock rights or shares related to the convertible debentures due to the net loss reported for the period. The weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2008 excludes the effect of approximately 3,439 weighted-average stock rights outstanding, because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

 

The aggregate number of shares that we could be obligated to issue upon conversion of the remaining $226,782 in aggregate principal amount of our 0.75% convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 (the “convertible debentures”) is approximately 7,793.  The convertible debentures provide for net share settlement upon conversion.  In December 2004, we purchased a bond hedge to mitigate the potential dilution from conversion of the Convertible Debentures during the term of the bond hedge.

(Unaudited, in thousands, except per share amounts)

 

(1) Consolidated Financial Statements (continued)

 

During the first quarter of 2008, the average price of our common stock was lower than the conversion price of the Convertible Debentures.  Therefore, no shares related to the Convertible Debentures were included in our weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2008.

 

(2) Operating Segment Information

 

We operate in three segments.  Our Printed Products Group provides lotteries with instant ticket and related services that include ticket design and manufacturing as well as value-added services, including game design, sales and marketing support, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services.

In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating income as a segment’s measure of profit or loss. Operating income is income before interest income, interest expense, equity in earnings of joint ventures, corporate expenses and income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 of our Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

 

(3) Equity Investments in Joint Ventures

 

We are a member of Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali (“CLN”), a consortium consisting principally of us, Lottomatica S.p.A, and Arianna 2001, a company owned by the Federation of Italian Tobacconists. The consortium has a contract with the Italian Monopoli di Stato to be the exclusive operator of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant lottery (the “Concession”).  The Concession commenced in mid-2004 and has an initial term of six years with a six-year extension option at the option of the Monopoli di Stato. Under our contract with CLN, we supply instant lottery tickets, game development services, marketing support, and the instant ticket management system and systems support during the term of the Concession, including any renewal term.  We also participate in the profits or losses of CLN as a 20% equity owner, and assist Lottomatica S.p.A in the lottery operations.  We account for this investment using the equity method of accounting.  For the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, we recorded income of $14,115 and $15,116, respectively, representing our share of the earnings of CLN in each period.  In April 2009, we received a cash distribution of approximately $28.2 million from CLN.

(6) Long-Term Debt

 

On March 27, 2009, we and our 100%-owned subsidiary, Scientific Games International, Inc. (“SGI”), entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”), among SGI, as borrower, the Company, as guarantor, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent . The purpose of the Amendment was to provide the Company with additional operating and financing flexibility.  The Company has been and as of March 31, 2009 remains in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement.

 

Under the Amendment, (i) up to approximately $18,800 in certain charges incurred and reserves created in the fourth quarter of 2008, (ii) up to $15,000 of certain charges that may be incurred during the 12-month period commencing on March 1, 2009, including charges in connection with cost-reduction initiatives, and (iii) certain costs and fees incurred in connection with the Amendment, will be added back to “Consolidated EBITDA” for purposes of calculating the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” and the “Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio” (as such terms are defined under the Credit Agreement).

 

In addition, for purposes of determining the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio as of any date prior to the earliest date on which any of the holders of convertible debentures may require the Company to repurchase their convertible debentures (currently June 1, 2010) (the “Convertible Debentures Repurchase Date”) neither (i) the earn-out payable with respect to the Company’s acquisition of Global Draw Limited (“Global Draw”) nor (ii) the principal amount of any unsecured promissory notes that may be issued in order to defer payment of up to the equivalent of $60,000 of such earn-out (provided that, among other terms of such promissory notes, no principal payment thereon is required prior to September 30, 2010), will be included as “Indebtedness” in the calculation of “Consolidated Total Debt” (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

If any promissory notes are issued to defer payment of the Global Draw earn-out, then the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility under the Credit Agreement will mature (if earlier than the date that would otherwise apply under the terms of the Credit Agreement) on the date that is three months prior to the earliest date that any principal payment is required in respect of such promissory notes unless on such date no such promissory notes remain outstanding or the sum of the aggregate available revolving

(6) Long-Term Debt (continued)

 

commitments under the Credit Agreement plus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of SGI and the guarantors under the Credit Agreement is not less than $50,000 in excess of the amount required to repay in full such outstanding promissory notes.

 

Under the Amendment, for purposes of determining the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of any date of determination prior to the earlier of the Convertible Debentures Repurchase Date and the date the convertible debentures are redeemed in full, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of SGI and the guarantors up to the “Debenture Reserve Amount” at such determination date will be netted against the then outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures (and Consolidated Total Debt will be thereby reduced to the extent of such netting).  The “Debenture Reserve Amount” is an amount equal to the net cash proceeds received by SGI or the guarantors after the date of the Amendment and prior to the Convertible Debentures Repurchase Date from (i) the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock (other than disqualified stock), or the issuance of “Permitted Additional Senior Indebtedness” or “Permitted Additional Subordinated Debt,” or Indebtedness under the “Incremental Facilities” (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement), and (ii) any “Asset Sales” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (up to an aggregate of $125,000 of net cash proceeds) with respect to which a reinvestment notice is timely given (provided that the Debenture Reserve Amount will (A) not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures, (B) be reduced to zero on the Convertible Debentures Repurchase Date and (C) to the extent the Debenture Reserve Amount is increased as a result of Assets Sales, will be decreased if and to the extent that term loans under the Credit Agreement are prepaid in lieu of reinvesting the net cash proceeds there from pursuant to a reinvestment notice).

 

The Amendment will increase each of the interest rates set forth in the pricing grid in the Credit Agreement by 0.25% such that, depending upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the interest rate will vary from 2.00% to 3.00% above LIBOR for eurocurrency loans, and 1.00% to 2.00% above the higher of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% for base rate loans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the Effective Date until the date the compliance certificate for the third fiscal quarter of 2009 is delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for eurocurrency loans will be deemed to be 3.00% and the applicable margin for base rate loans will be deemed to be 2.00%.

 

In connection with the Amendment, SGI agreed to pay an aggregate of approximately $2,800 in fees to consenting lenders and the administrative agent.

 

Our Amended Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority, perfected lien on (1) substantially all the property and assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of the Company and its direct and indirect 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries and (2) 100% of our interest in the capital stock (or other equity interests) of all of our direct and indirect 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of our interest in the capital stock (or other equity interests) of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of SGI and the guarantors.

 

On March 31, 2009, we had $196,924 of availability under our revolving credit facility.  There were no borrowings and $53,076 in outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2009.

 

The Company may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Any such retirement or purchase of debt may be funded by cash flows from operations, borrowings or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we repurchased approximately $47,000 in aggregate principal amount of our convertible debentures for approximately $42,281 in cash under our previously announced convertible debenture repurchase program.  We recognized a gain on early extinguishment of debt of approximately $2,288.  Between April 1, 2009 and May 11, 2009, we have repurchased approximately $10,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debentures for approximately $9,200 in cash under our previously announced convertible debenture repurchase program.

 

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”).  FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, FSP APB 14-1 specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.  We adopted FSP APB 14-1 on January 1, 2009.  The impact of adoption was an adjustment to accumulated earnings of approximately $22,600 representing the cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle as of January 1, 2007.

As of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the equity component of the convertible debentures under FSP APB 14-1 was approximately $67,673 and $68,592, respectively.  The following represents the principal amount of the liability component, the unamortized discount, and the net carrying amount of our convertible debt instruments as of March 31, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively:

As of March 31, 2009, the remaining discount will be amortized over a period of approximately 14 months.  The conversion price of the remaining $226,782 in aggregate principal amount of the convertible debentures is $29.10 and the number of shares on which the aggregate consideration to be delivered upon conversion is approximately 7,793.

 

The effective interest rate on the liability component of the convertible debentures is approximately 6.25% for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.  The amount of interest cost recognized for the contractual interest coupon during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $493 and $513, respectively.  The amount of interest cost recognized for the amortization of the discount on the liability component of the convertible debentures during the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 was approximately $3,301 and $3,362, respectively.

 

(7) Derivative Financial Instruments

 

Effective October 17, 2008, SGI entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement (the “Hedge”) with JPMorgan.  Under the Hedge, which is designated as a cash flow hedge in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” SGI pays interest on a $100,000 notional amount of debt at a fixed rate of 3.49% and receives interest on a $100,000 notional amount of debt at the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate.  The objective of the Hedge is to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to the LIBOR component of interest expense paid on $100,000 of our variable-rate debt.  As of March 31, 2009, the Hedge was measured at a fair value of $5,009 using Level 2 valuation techniques of the fair value hierarchy and included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.

 

          We believe we have matched the critical terms of the hedged variable-rate debt with the Hedge and expect the Hedge to be highly effective in offsetting changes in the expected cash flows due to fluctuation in the three-month LIBOR based rate over the term of the forecasted interest payments related to the $100,000 notional amount of variable-rate debt.  Hedge effectiveness is measured quarterly on a retrospective basis using the cumulative dollar-offset approach in which the cumulative changes in the cash flows of the actual swap are compared to the cumulative changes in the cash flows of the hypothetical swap.  The effective portion of the Hedge is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion of the Hedge, if any, is recorded in the consolidated statement of operations.  During the quarter ended March 31, 2009, we recorded a loss of approximately $108 in other comprehensive income (loss).  There was no ineffective portion of the Hedge recorded in the consolidated statement of operations. Amounts recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) that were deferred on the effective hedged forecasted transactions are reclassified to earnings when the interest expense related to the hedged item affects earnings.

(9) Pension and Other Post-Retirement Plans

 

We have defined benefit pension plans for our U.S.-based union employees and U.K.-based union employees (the “U.S. Plan” and the “U.K. Plan”, respectively) and, with the acquisition of Oberthur Gaming Technologies and related companies in 2007 (“OGT”), certain Canadian-based employees (the “Canadian Plan”).  Retirement benefits under the U.S. Plan are based upon the number of years of credited service up to a maximum of 30 years for the majority of the employees.  Retirement benefits under the U.K. Plan are based on an employee’s average compensation over the two years preceding retirement.  Retirement benefits under the Canadian Plan are generally based on the number of years of credited service.  Our policy is to fund the minimum contribution permissible by the respective tax authorities.

 

The following table sets forth the combined amount of net periodic benefit cost recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008.

(10) Income Taxes

 

The effective tax rates of 287.3% and 33.8%, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2009 includes the impact of a valuation allowance against the deferred tax asset related to foreign tax credits.  The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2008, was less than the federal statutory rate of 35% due to lower tax rates applicable to our earnings from operations outside the United States.

 

At December 31, 2008, the Company had a deferred tax asset for its foreign tax credit (“FTC”) carry forward of approximately $40,400.  Although the Company will continue to explore tax planning strategies to use all of its FTC at March 31, 2009, the Company established a valuation allowance of approximately $33,833 against the FTC deferred tax asset to reduce the asset to the net amount management estimates is “more likely than not” to be realized.

 

Further, the Company determined it is not “more likely than not” that the foreign taxes generated in 2009 will be realized in full against its U.S. tax liability during the FTC carry forward period.  As a result, the Company’s 2009 annual effective income tax rate is greater than the federal statutory rate because of the valuation allowance established against the deferred tax asset for a portion of the FTC generated in 2009.

(14 )  Subsequent Event

 

On May 7, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the principal selling shareholder and key management of Global Draw related to the earn-out and contingent bonuses that were payable to them in connection with the Company’s 2006 acquisition.  Based on the performance of the business, the total amount payable was determined to be approximately £60,600, or $89,700, of which approximately £30,500, or $45,200, was paid on May 7, 2009.  Approximately £28,100, or $41,600, of the total amount payable was deferred under the terms of two-year, unsecured promissory notes issued by certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (and guaranteed by the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries).  The earn-out balance of approximately £2,000, or $2,900, is scheduled to be paid by September 30, 2009.

 

The promissory note issued to the principal selling shareholder, which was executed on May 7, 2009 by Scientific Games Luxembourg Finance S.a.r.l., an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“SGLF”), has a principal amount of approximately £26,000 and bears simple interest at the rate of 6.90% per annum, which interest is payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, commencing on June 30, 2009.  The note matures on May 7, 2011.  Although not required to do so (except in connection with an event of default as described below), SGLF may repay all or a portion of the principal amount of the note at any time prior to maturity without premium or penalty.  The note is a senior unsecured obligation of SGLF and is guaranteed on a joint and several basis by the Company and certain of its 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries (including SGI).  Such guaranty represents “senior debt” as that term is defined in the indentures governing the Company’s 6.25% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2012 and convertible debentures and SGI’s 7.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2016.

 

If an event of default under the note shall occur and be continuing, the holder of the note may declare the principal amount of, and accrued interest on, the note to be immediately due and payable.  An “event of default” under the note shall occur if (1) SGLF shall fail to pay the then unpaid principal amount under the note within 15 days after the maturity date or any interest payment that is due and payable within 15 days after the applicable interest payment date, or (2) an “event of default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) shall occur and be continuing and, as a result thereof, the amounts owing under the Credit Agreement immediately become due and payable.

 

The terms of the promissory notes issued to key management of Global Draw and the related guaranties are substantially identical to the note described above, except that one of the notes was issued by a different foreign subsidiary of the Company.

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

 

The following discussion addresses the results of operations of Scientific Games Corporation (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “we,” “us,” “our” or the “Company” unless otherwise specified or the context otherwise requires), for the three months ended March 31, 2009, compared to the corresponding period 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, 2008 included in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

The first and fourth quarters of the calendar year traditionally comprise the weakest season for our Diversified Gaming segment. 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.  Additionally, the fourth quarter is the weakest quarter for Global Draw Limited (“Global Draw”) due to reduced wagering during the holiday season.  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 of our Lottery Systems Group can vary substantially from period to period as a result of the timing of revenue recognition for major equipment sales and software licensing transactions and any Powerball jackpot activity in the quarter. In addition, Printed Products sales may vary depending on the season and timing of contract awards, changes in customer budgets, changes in the way that we price our contracts, inventory ticket levels, lottery retail sales and general economic conditions.

 

Background

 

We operate in three business segments: Printed Products Group, Lottery Systems Group and Diversified Gaming Group. Our revenues consist of two major components: services revenues and sales revenues.

 

Printed Products Group

 

We provide instant lottery tickets and related services. Instant ticket and related services include 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 access to a licensed property portfolio, including Deal or No Deal™, Major League Baseball®, National Basketball Association, Harley-Davidson®, Wheel-of-Fortune®, Monopoly™, Corvette® and World Poker Tour®. This division also includes promotional instant tickets and pull-tab tickets that we sell to both lottery and non-lottery customers.

 

We are a manufacturer of prepaid phone cards, which entitle cellular phone users to a pre-specified value of airtime. Prepaid phone cards offer consumers a cost-effective way to purchase cellular airtime, without requiring phone companies to extend credit or consumers to commit to contracts.  Prepaid phone cards utilize the same secure process that we employ in the production of instant lottery tickets.

 

In 2007, we entered into an arrangement to sell instant lottery tickets directly to the China Sports Lottery for a temporary period of time between March 2008 and December 2008.  During 2008, we recorded approximately $40.2 million in revenues from the China Sports Lottery as a result of this temporary arrangement.  Beginning in 2009, the China Sports Lottery began purchasing instant lottery tickets through our joint venture in CSG Lottery Technology (Beijing) Co. Ltd, of which we own 49%.

 

Lottery Systems Group

 

Our lottery systems business includes the supply of transaction processing software for the accounting and validation of 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 the operation of credit card processing systems.

 

Diversified Gaming Group

 

Our Diversified Gaming Group provides services and systems to private and public operators in the wide area gaming markets and in the pari-mutuel wagering industry.  Our product offering includes server-based gaming machines (including our Nevada™ dual screen terminals, which can offer Great Britain regulated Category B2 or B3 content on the same machines), VLTs, monitor games, wagering systems for the pari-mutuel racing industry, sports betting systems and services and Great Britain regulated Category C AWP and SWP terminals. Business units within the Diversified Gaming Group include Global Draw, a leading supplier of gaming terminals, systems and monitor games to licensed bookmakers, primarily in the U.K., Austria and Mexico; Scientific Games Racing LLC, a leading worldwide supplier of computerized systems for pari-mutuel wagering; Games Media Limited (“Games Media”), our AWP and SWP terminal supplier in the U.K. pub market; and our pari-mutuel gaming operations in Connecticut, Maine and the Netherlands.

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2009 Compared to Three Months Ended March 31, 2008

 

The following analysis compares the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 to the results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.

 

Overview

 

Revenue Analysis

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, total revenue was $230.7 million compared to $257.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $26.3 million or 10%. Our service revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $210.3 million compared to $234.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $23.7 million, or 10%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the revised terms of our contracts ($12.8 million), lower retail sales in Florida ($1.2 million), lower revenue from a customer in the U.K. as they migrate to a revenue participation model ($4.6 million), decreased revenues from the loss of the South Carolina online lottery contract ($1.3 million), decreased revenue from our pari-mutuel business due to lower dollars wagered, or handle ($3.0 million), and the negative impact from foreign exchange rates ($11.2 million).  The decrease was partially offset by increased revenue from instant ticket validation services in China ($5.2 million) and increased service revenue from Global Draw and Games Media ($5.3 million).

 

Our sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $20.4 million compared to $23.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $2.7 million or 12%. The decrease was primarily due to lower phone card sales in the quarter ($2.4 million), decreased sales in Germany due to the closing of the Honsel facility in the first quarter of 2008 ($1.4 million), decreased hardware and software sales in Germany and Norway, decreased sales from Games Media reflecting the expected decline in sales of analog AWP terminals ($3.7 million) as a result of the roll-out of digital AWP terminals, which are being deployed under revenue participation agreements, and the negative impact from foreign exchange rates ($3.5 million).  The decrease was partially offset by the sale of Wave™ terminals in Italy ($10.5 million).

 

Expense Analysis

 

Cost of services of $125.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $4.6 million or 4% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease was primarily due to lower service revenue as discussed above and decreased costs from the Mexico contract ($2.0 million), partially offset by increased costs associated with the new Connecticut online lottery contract ($1.0 million), increased costs related to China ($1.0 million) and costs associated with increased service revenue from Global Draw and Games Media.

 

Cost of sales of $15.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $1.4 million or 8% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to lower costs in our phone card business as a result of lower sales in the quarter, the decline of sales in Germany, costs associated with decreased hardware and software sales in Germany and reduced sales from Games Media, partially offset by costs associated with the sale of Wave™ terminals in Italy and a sale of pari-mutuel wagering systems in Europe.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense of $41.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $5.5 million or 12% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to reduced incentive compensation costs.

 

Employee termination costs of $3.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were a result of our cost reduction initiatives.  Employee termination costs of $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were a result of the restructuring of our phone card business in the U.K.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense of $31.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $3.4 million or 10% from the quarter ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to decreased amortization on our licensed property contracts, decreased depreciation and amortization on our new Pennsylvania online lottery contract and decreased amortization and depreciation from the Mexico contract, partially offset by increased depreciation from Global Draw and our domestic pari-mutuel business.

 

Interest expense of $18.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased $1.7 million or 10% from the quarter ended March 31, 2008, primarily attributable to increased borrowings due to the refinancing that occurred in June 2008, partially offset by a decline in interest rates.

 

Equity in earnings of joint ventures primarily reflects our share of the earnings from the Italian joint venture Consorzio Lotterie Nazionali (“CLN”) in connection with the operation of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant lottery, our share of the equity of Roberts

Communications Network, LLC (“RCN”) and our interest in Guard Libang. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, our share of CLN’s income totaled $14.1 million compared to $15.1 million in the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease in income for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 reflects the negative impact of foreign exchange rates.  For the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, our share of the earnings of RCN was $1.0 million and $1.0 million, respectively.  For the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008, our share of the earnings of Guard Libang was $0.8 million and $0.9 million respectively.

 

Income tax expense was $38.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 compared to $8.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  The effective income tax rates for the quarters ended March 31, 2009 and 2008 were 287.3% and 33.8% respectively.  The increase in the effective tax rate was primarily the result of recording a valuation allowance against our deferred tax asset for our foreign tax credit carry forward of approximately $33.8 million.

 

Segment Overview

 

Printed Products

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, total revenue for Printed Products was $114.7 million compared to $135.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $21.2 million or 16%. For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, service revenue for Printed Products was $110.1 million compared to $127.2 million in the corresponding period in the prior year, a decrease of $17.1 million or 13%. The decrease was primarily attributable to the impact of the revised terms of the Florida cooperative services contract, which began impacting revenue during the fourth quarter of 2008 ($6.3 million), lower retail sales in Florida ($1.2 million), lower revenue from a customer in the U.K. as they migrate to a revenue participation model ($4.6 million) and a negative impact from foreign exchange rates ($5.1 million).

 

Printed Products sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $4.6 million compared to $8.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $4.1 million or 47%. The decrease was primarily the result of lower phone card sales revenue in the quarter ($2.4 million) and decreased sales in Germany due to the closing of the Honsel facility in the first quarter of 2008 ($1.4 million).

 

Cost of services of $67.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $3.7 million or 5% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to lower service revenue as discussed above, partially offset by higher costs from our licensed games business ($2.2 million).

 

 Cost of sales of $2.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $3.6 million or 58% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 primarily due to lower costs in our phone card business as a result of lower sales in the quarter and the decline of sales in Germany.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense of $11.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $3.5 million or 23% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease was primarily due to reduced incentive compensation costs and a favorable impact from foreign exchange rates.

 

Employee termination costs of $2.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were a result of our cost reduction initiatives.  Employee termination costs of $2.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008 were a result of our restructuring of the phone card manufacturing in the U.K.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense of $7.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $2.3 million or 23% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to decreased amortization on our licensed property contracts and reduced depreciation and amortization from our domestic and international contracts.

 

Lottery Systems

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, total revenue for Lottery Systems was $65.9 million compared to $62.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $3.5 million or 6%. Lottery Systems service revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $52.1 million compared to $54.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $2.5 million or 5%. The decrease was primarily due to the revised terms of the Pennsylvania online lottery contract, which began lottery impacting revenue in the first quarter of 2009 ($6.5 million), and decreased revenues from the loss of the South Carolina online contract ($1.3 million), offset by revenue from instant ticket validation services in China ($5.2 million).

 

Lottery Systems sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $13.9 million compared to $7.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, an increase of $6.1 million or 78%.  The increase was primarily due to the sale of Wave™ terminals in Italy ($10.5 million), partially offset by decreased hardware and software sales in Germany and Norway and a negative impact from foreign exchange rates ($1.8 million).

Table of Contents

 

Cost of services of $28.9 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $0.3 million or 1% higher than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The increase was primarily due to increased costs associated with the new Connecticut online lottery contract ($1.0 million) and increased costs related to China ($1.0 million), partially offset by decreased costs from the Mexico contract ($2.0 million).

 

Cost of sales of $11.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $5.9 million higher than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to costs associated with the sale of Wave™ terminals in Italy, partially offset by costs associated with decreased hardware and software sales in Germany.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense of $7.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $1.8 million or 19% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008.  The decrease was primarily attributable to reduced incentive compensation costs and savings realized from our Profitability Improvement Program.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense of $10.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 decreased $4.3 million or 29% compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to decreased depreciation and amortization on our new Pennsylvania online lottery contract and decreased depreciation and amortization on the Mexico contract.

 

Diversified Gaming

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2009, total revenue for Diversified Gaming was $50.1 million compared to $58.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $8.6 million or 15%. Diversified Gaming service revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2009 was $48.2 million compared to $52.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $3.9 million or 7%. The decrease in service revenue was primarily due to decreased revenue from our pari-mutuel business due to lower handle ($3.0 million) and a negative impact from foreign exchange rates ($6.1 million), partially offset by increased service revenue from Global Draw and Games Media ($5.3 million).

 

The Diversified Gaming sales revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $1.9 million compared to $6.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, a decrease of $4.7 million or 71%.  The decrease was primarily due to decreased sales from Games Media reflecting the expected decline in sales of analog AWP terminals ($3.7 million) as a result of the roll-out of digital AWP terminals, which are being deployed under revenue participation agreements and the negative impact from foreign exchange rates ($1.7 million), partially offset by increased sales pari-mutuel wagering systems in Europe ($0.7 million).

 

Cost of services of $29.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $1.1 million or 4% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to lower costs associated with decreased revenue from our domestic pari-mutuel business, partially offset by costs associated with increased service revenue from Global Draw and Games Media.

 

Cost of sales of $1.0 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $3.7 million or 79% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to reduced sales from Games Media.

 

Selling, general and administrative expense of $5.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 was $1.6 million or 24% lower than for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. The decrease was primarily due to the absence of Global Draw earn-out bonus which was accrued in part in the first quarter of 2008.

 

Employee termination costs of $0.4 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 were a result of our cost reduction initiatives.

 

Depreciation and amortization expense of $12.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2009 increased $3.3 million or 35% from the quarter ended March 31, 2008, primarily due to increased depreciation from Global Draw and our domestic pari-mutuel business.

 

Critical Accounting Policies

 

There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies from those discussed under the caption “Critical Accounting Policies” in “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital

 

On March 27, 2009, we and our 100%-owned subsidiary, SGI, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the credit agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008 (the “Credit Agreement”), among SGI, as borrower, the Company, as guarantor, the several lenders from time to time parties thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as administrative agent

Table of Contents

 

The purpose of the Amendment is to provide the Company with additional operating and financing flexibility.

 

Under the Amendment, (i) up to approximately $18.8 million in certain charges incurred and reserves created in the fourth quarter of 2008, (ii) up to $15.0 million of certain charges that may be incurred during the 12-month period commencing on March 1, 2009, including charges in connection with cost-reduction initiatives, and (iii) certain costs and fees incurred in connection with the Amendment, will be added back to “Consolidated EBITDA” for purposes of calculating the “Consolidated Leverage Ratio” and the “Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio” (as such terms are defined under the Credit Agreement).

 

In addition, for purposes of determining the Consolidated Leverage Ratio and the Consolidated Senior Debt Ratio as of any date prior to the earliest date on which any of the holders of convertible debentures may require the Company to repurchase their convertible debentures (currently June 1, 2010) (the “Convertible Debentures Repurchase Date”) neither (i) the earn-out payable with respect to the Company’s acquisition of Global Draw nor (ii) the principal amount of any unsecured promissory notes that may be issued in order to defer payment of up to the equivalent of $60.0 million of such earn-out (provided that, among other terms of such promissory notes, no principal payment thereon is required prior to September 30, 2010), will be included as “Indebtedness” in the calculation of “Consolidated Total Debt” (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement).

 

If any promissory notes are issued to defer payment of the Global Draw earn-out, then the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility under the Credit Agreement will mature (if earlier than the date that would otherwise apply under the terms of the Credit Agreement) on the date that is three months prior to the earliest date that any principal payment is required in respect of such promissory notes unless on such date no such promissory notes remain outstanding or the sum of the aggregate available revolving commitments under the Credit Agreement plus unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of SGI and the guarantors under the Credit Agreement is not less than $50.0 million in excess of the amount required to repay in full such outstanding promissory notes.

 

Under the Amendment, for purposes of determining the Consolidated Leverage Ratio as of any date of determination prior to the earlier of the Convertible Debentures Repurchase Date and the date the convertible debentures are redeemed in full, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of SGI and the guarantors up to the “Debenture Reserve Amount” at such determination date will be netted against the then outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures (and Consolidated Total Debt will be thereby reduced to the extent of such netting).  The “Debenture Reserve Amount” is an amount equal to the net cash proceeds received by SGI or the guarantors after the date of the Amendment and prior to the Convertible Debentures Repurchase Date from (i) the issuance by the Company of shares of its capital stock (other than disqualified stock), or the issuance of “Permitted Additional Senior Indebtedness” or “Permitted Additional Subordinated Debt,” or Indebtedness under the “Incremental Facilities” (as such terms are defined in the Credit Agreement), and (ii) any “Asset Sales” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) (up to an aggregate of $125.0 million of net cash proceeds) with respect to which a reinvestment notice is timely given (provided that the Debenture Reserve Amount will (A) not exceed the outstanding principal amount of the convertible debentures, (B) be reduced to zero on the Convertible Debentures Repurchase Date and (C) to the extent the Debenture Reserve Amount is increased as a result of Assets Sales, will be decreased if and to the extent that term loans under the Credit Agreement are prepaid in lieu of reinvesting the net cash proceeds therefrom pursuant to a reinvestment notice).

 

The Amendment will increase each of the interest rates set forth in the pricing grid in the Credit Agreement by 0.25% such that, depending upon the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the interest rate will vary from 2.00% to 3.00% above LIBOR for eurocurrency loans, and 1.00% to 2.00% above the higher of (i) the prime rate or (ii) the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 0.50% for base rate loans.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, from the Effective Date until the date the compliance certificate for the third fiscal quarter of 2009 is delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the applicable margin for eurocurrency loans will be deemed to be 3.00% and the applicable margin for base rate loans will be deemed to be 2.00%.

 

In connection with the Amendment, SGI agreed to pay an aggregate of approximately $2.8 million in fees to consenting lenders and the administrative agent.

 

Our Credit Agreement is secured by a first priority, perfected lien on (1) substantially all the property and assets (real and personal, tangible and intangible) of the Company and its direct and indirect 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries and (2) 100% of our interest in the capital stock (or other equity interests) of all of our direct and indirect 100%-owned domestic subsidiaries and 65% of our interest in the capital stock (or other equity interests) of the first-tier foreign subsidiaries of SGI and the guarantors.

 

We were in compliance with our covenants as of March 31, 2009.

 

As of March 31, 2009, we had approximately $196.9 million available for additional borrowing or letter of credit issuance under our revolving credit facility.  There were no borrowings and $53.1 million in outstanding letters of credit under our revolving credit facility as of March 31, 2009.  Our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement will depend on us remaining in compliance with the limitations imposed by our lenders, including the maintenance of our financial ratios or covenants.

 

The Company may, from time to time, seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt in open market purchases, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise. Any such retirement or purchase of debt may be funded by cash flows from operations, borrowings or other sources and will depend upon prevailing market conditions, liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, and the amounts involved may be material. During the three months ended March 31, 2009, we repurchased approximately $47.0 million in aggregate principal amount of our convertible debentures for approximately $42.3 million in cash under our previously announced convertible debentures program. Between April 1, 2009 and May 11, 2009, we have repurchased approximately $10.00 million in aggregate principal amount of the Convertible Debentures for approximately $9.2 million in cash under our previously announced convertible debentures program.

 

On May 7, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with the principal selling shareholder and key management of Global Draw related to the earn-out and contingent bonuses that were payable to them in connection with the Company’s 2006 acquisition.  Based on the performance of the business, the total amount payable was determined to be approximately £60.6 million, or $89.7 million, of which approximately £30.5 million, or $45.2 million, was paid on May 7, 2009.  Approximately £28.1 million, or $41.6 million, of the total amount payable was deferred under the terms of two-year, unsecured promissory notes issued by certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (and guaranteed by the Company and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries).  The earn-out balance of approximately £2.0 million, or $2.9 million, is scheduled to be paid by September 30, 2009.

 

In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Settlement) (“FSP APB 14-1”).  FSP APB 14-1 clarifies that convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion (including partial cash settlement) are not addressed by paragraph 12 of APB Opinion No. 14, Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants. Additionally, the FSP specifies that issuers of such instruments should separately account for the liability and equity components in a manner that will reflect the entity’s nonconvertible debt

borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods. FSP APB 14-1 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years, and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented.  We adopted FSP APB 14-1 on January 1, 2009.

 

Our contractual obligations and commercial commitments principally include obligations associated with our outstanding indebtedness and future minimum operating lease obligations, as set forth in the table below:

The Convertible Debentures are due in 2024. However, these Convertible Debentures could require cash payment before that date if holders of these Convertible Debentures elect to convert the Convertible Debentures, subject to certain conditions, if we call the Convertible Debentures for redemption, or upon certain corporate transactions.

In accordance with the purchase agreement relating to the acquisition of Global Draw, an earn-out and contingent bonuses totaling approximately $86.3 million are payable to the principal selling shareholder and key management of Global Draw.  Approximately $46.1 million will be paid during the remainder of 2009, and approximately $40.2 million will be paid within the next two years. Such amounts represent the amounts accrued on our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2009.  The actual amounts paid or payable are set forth under Note 14 of our consolidated financial statements.

We have excluded approximately $11.2 million of pension plan liabilities, deferred compensation liabilities of approximately $16.2 million and the liability for uncertain tax positions of $20.0 million at March 31, 2009. Due to the high degree of uncertainty regarding the timing of potential future cash flows associated with these liabilities, we are unable to make a reasonably reliable estimate of the amount and period in which these liabilities might be paid.

 

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 Cost of Services in the consolidated statements of income. Historically, the revenues we derive from our pari-mutuel wagering and lottery systems service contracts have generally 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.  In the next year, we are obligated under our contract with the China Sports Lottery to purchase approximately 40,000 instant ticket validation machines for a total cost of approximately $23.6 million. 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. The actual level of capital expenditures 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.  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.

 

As of March 31, 2009, our available cash and borrowing capacity totaled $305.6 million compared to $330.8 million as of December 31, 2008. The amount of our available cash fluctuates principally based on the timing of collections from our customers, cash expenditures associated with new and existing online lottery systems service and pari-mutuel and fixed odds wagering contracts, borrowings or repayments under our credit facilities and changes in our working capital position.

 

The $25.2 million decrease in our available cash from the December 31, 2008 level principally reflects the net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2009 of $50.4 million along with $43.7 million of net repayments on borrowings offset by wagering and other capital expenditures and other investing activities totaling $21.9 million, acquisition related payments of $1.1 million and the effects of exchange rates. The $50.4 million of net cash provided by operating activities is derived from approximately $40.8 million of net cash provided by operations and approximately $9.6 million from changes in working capital. The working capital changes occurred principally from decreases in accounts receivable, inventories and prepaids, deposits and other current assets and an increase in accrued liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable.  Capital expenditures were $0.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $3.7 million in the corresponding period in 2008. Wagering system expenditures totaled $14.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2009 compared to $46.6 million in the corresponding period in 2008, and consisted primarily of our lottery contracts in Connecticut and server-based gaming terminals related to Global Draw’s contracts with its customers. Other intangible assets and software expenditures during the three months ended March 31, 2009 consisted primarily of licensed properties, lottery contracts in Connecticut and gaming contracts related to Global Draw. Cash flow from financing activities principally reflects the borrowings under the Credit Agreement.

 

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and available borrowing capacity under the Credit Agreement will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs, including anticipated capital expenditures, for the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. While we are not aware of any particular trends, our contracts periodically renew and there can be no assurance 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 in obtaining such bonds, there can be no assurance that we will continue to be able to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms or at all. 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, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain new financing or to refinance any of our indebtedness, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

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 March 31, 2009, approximately 52% of our debt was in fixed-rate instruments. 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 “Item 2 - Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital” for additional information about our financial instruments.)

 

Effective October 17, 2008, SGI entered into a three-year interest rate swap agreement (the “Hedge”) with JPMorgan.  Under the Hedge, SGI pays interest on a $100 million notional amount of debt at a fixed rate of 3.49% and receives interest on a $100 million notional amount of debt at the prevailing 3-month LIBOR rate.  The objective of the Hedge is to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to the LIBOR component of interest expense paid on $100 million of our variable-rate debt.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

We have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.  The evaluation was conducted under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer. Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in alerting management in a timely fashion to all material information required to be included in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2009 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The date of the last repurchase which was part of the publicly announced stock repurchase program was March 5, 2009.

 

 

(2)

In addition to the open market purchase made under the publicly announced stock repurchase program, the activity in this column reflects 89,309 shares acquired from employees to satisfy the withholding taxes associated with the vesting of restricted stock units during the three months ended March 31, 2009.

 

 

(3)

The $200 million stock repurchase program, which expires on December 31, 2009, was originally publicly announced on November 2, 2006, extended on December 13, 2007 and extended again on December 11, 2008.

 

On February 25, 2009, our Board of Directors approved an increase to the amount authorized under our previously announced program for the repurchase of our 0.75% convertible debentures from $50.0 million to $100.0 million in aggregate principal amount.  During the three months ended March 31, 2009, the Company repurchased approximately $47.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the convertible debentures for a total cost of approximately $42.3 million.  There was approximately $226.8 million in aggregate principal amount of convertible debentures outstanding as of March 31, 2009.  Purchases are expected to be funded by cash flows from operations, borrowings, or a combination thereof.  The manner, timing and amount of purchases will be determined by our management based on its evaluation of market conditions, price of the Convertible Debentures and other factors.  The program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
