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,” “should,” “could,” “potential,” “opportunity,” or similar terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are generally located 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 contemplated 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; technological change; retention and renewal of existing contracts and entry into new or revised contracts; availability and adequacy of cash flows 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; inability to benefit from, and risks associated with, strategic equity investments and relationships; failure of our Northstar Illinois joint venture to meet the net income targets or otherwise to realize the anticipated benefits under its private management agreement with the Illinois Lottery; failure of our Northstar New Jersey joint venture to meet the net income targets or other requirements under its agreement to provide marketing and sales services to the New Jersey Lottery or otherwise to realize the anticipated benefits under such agreement (including as a result of a protest); the seasonality of our business; failure to receive the required approvals related to the award to our consortium of an instant ticket concession in Greece on a timely basis or at all, or otherwise to realize the anticipated benefits in connection with such concession; failure to complete the pending acquisition of WMS Industries Inc. (“WMS”) on a timely basis or at all, including due to the inability to obtain the gaming regulatory approvals required to complete the acquisition; disruption of our current plans and operations in connection with the WMS acquisition; failure to achieve the intended benefits of the WMS acquisition, including due to the inability to realize synergies in the anticipated amounts or within the contemplated time-frames or cost expectations, or at all; inability to identify and capitalize on trends and changes in the lottery and gaming industries, including the potential expansion of regulated gaming via the internet; inability to enhance and develop successful gaming concepts; dependence on suppliers and manufacturers; liability for product defects; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and other factors associated with international operations; influence of certain stockholders; dependence on key personnel; failure to perform under our 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 included from time to time in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), including under the heading “Risk Factors” in the our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2013 and in our subsequent periodic reports. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for the Company's ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
 
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain references to industry market data and certain industry forecasts. Industry market data and industry forecasts are obtained from publicly available information and industry publications. Industry publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of that information is not guaranteed. Similarly, industry forecasts, while we believe them to be accurate, are not independently verified by us and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of that information. In general, we believe there is less publicly available information concerning the international lottery industry than the lottery industry in the U.S.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared by Scientific Games Corporation and are unaudited. When used in these notes, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “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 June 30, 2013, our results of operations and comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been made.

On March 25, 2013, we completed the sale of our installed base of gaming terminals in our pub business to Gamestec Leisure Limited (a subsidiary of Astra Games Limited) ("Gamestec") as discussed in Note 2 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The results of the discontinued pub operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are presented herein in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations.

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 ("U.S. GAAP") have been condensed or omitted. All monetary values set forth in these financial statements are in United States dollars ("USD" or "$") unless otherwise stated herein. These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year.
 
Significant Accounting Policies
 
We describe our significant accounting policies in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2013, except as discussed below.

Our policy is to periodically review the estimated useful lives of our fixed assets. Our review during the three months ended June 30, 2013 indicated lower estimated useful lives for our gaming terminals deployed to our U.K. licensed betting office ("LBO") customers relative to historical estimates due to recent market changes that we believe have impacted the replacement cycle of these terminals. As a result, effective April 1, 2013, we revised the estimated useful lives of our gaming terminals currently deployed to our LBO customers. This change increased depreciation expense by an immaterial amount for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
Recently Issued Accounting Guidance
    
In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance enhancing disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity's right to offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the gross amounts subject to rights of set-off, amounts offset in accordance with the accounting standards followed, and the related net exposure. In January 2013, the FASB clarified that the scope of this guidance applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, or similar agreements. The new guidance became effective for us beginning January 1, 2013. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to

11

present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements as we did not have any material reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
In February 2013, the FASB amended guidance related to the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from such arrangements as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay pursuant to its agreement with its co-obligors and any additional amount it expects to pay on behalf of such co-obligors. In addition, the amendment requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about the obligation. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the amendment is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB amended guidance related to a parent company's accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. The adoption of the amendment is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

(2) Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisitions
On July 19, 2012, we acquired substantially all of the assets of Parspro.com ehf ("Parspro") for approximately $11,800. Parspro is a provider of sports betting systems and related products via point of sale terminals, the internet and mobile devices. Approximately $9,900 of the $11,800 purchase price was in excess of the fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to goodwill. The acquired assets include technology that we have integrated into our Lottery Systems business and our interactive games platform as part of an expanded service offering to lottery customers. Had the operating results of Parspro been included as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2011, our pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 would not have been materially different.
On June 8, 2012, we acquired 100% of the equity interests of Provoloto for approximately $9,720, subject to certain adjustments, including an estimated earn-out payable to the sellers of approximately $2,000 contingent on the future performance of the acquired business. Provoloto develops and distributes instant lottery tickets and manages instant ticket lotteries for Mexican charities. Approximately $5,100 of the $9,720 purchase price was in excess of the fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to goodwill. The operating results of Provoloto have been included in our Printed Products segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. Had the operating results of Provoloto been included as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2011, our pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 would not have been materially different.
On June 7, 2012, we acquired ADS/Technology and Gaming, Ltd. ("ADS") for £3,450, subject to certain adjustments. ADS provides maintenance and other services for LBOs in the U.K. We have integrated ADS into our existing Gaming business. Approximately £2,200 of the £3,450 purchase price was in excess of the fair value of the acquired net assets and has been allocated to goodwill. The operating results of ADS have been included in our Gaming segment and have been consolidated in our results of operations since the date of acquisition. Had the operating results of ADS been included as if the transaction was consummated on January 1, 2011, our pro forma results of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 would not have been materially different.
Dispositions

On March 25, 2013, we completed the sale of our installed base of gaming terminals in our pub business to Gamestec, for a purchase price of £534. In addition, we entered into certain ancillary agreements pursuant to which, among other things, we provide certain transitional services to Gamestec for up to six months following the sale and license content and software to Gamestec. The revenue and expenses of the discontinued pub operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 are as follows:

In evaluating financial performance, we focus on operating income as a segment’s measure of profit or loss. Segment operating income is income before unallocated corporate expenses, interest expense, earnings from equity investments, other income (expense) and income taxes. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in our summary of significant accounting policies (see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K).

(4) Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

(6) Intangible Assets and Goodwill
 
Subsequent to the filing of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we adjusted the estimated fair values of certain assets acquired as part of our acquisition of Provoloto on June 8, 2012 to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have affected the amounts recognized as of that date. The adjustments resulted in an increase in goodwill of approximately $275 and a decrease in accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, of approximately $275. We have applied the adjustment retrospectively to the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2012.
The following presents certain information regarding our intangible assets as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. Amortizable intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives with no estimated residual values.

(7) Equity Method Investments
 
There have been no changes in our equity method investments from those disclosed in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as described below.

In December 2012, we formed a consortium with GTECH Corporation (“GTECH”) and a subsidiary of the administrator of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (“OMERS”) to bid for a long-term agreement to provide marketing and sales services for the New Jersey lottery. In April 2013, the State issued a notice of intent to award the services agreement to our consortium. In June 2013, our consortium entity, Northstar New Jersey Lottery Group, LLC (“Northstar New

18

Jersey”), executed the services agreement and, in connection therewith, made a $120,000 payment to the State. Services under the agreement are expected to begin on October 1, 2013 following a transition period and end on June 30, 2029. We own a 17.69% equity interest in Northstar New Jersey. In connection with the execution of the services agreement, we contributed approximately $21,200 to Northstar New Jersey, representing our pro rata share of the $120,000 payment. We are also responsible for our pro rata share of the initial working capital requirements of Northstar New Jersey, of which we have contributed approximately $1,100 to date. We will account for our 17.69% interest in Northstar New Jersey as an equity method investment due to our significant influence through our substantive participating rights in the entity.
 
Under the terms of the agreement with the New Jersey Lottery, Northstar New Jersey will be entitled to receive annual incentive compensation payments to the extent the lottery's net income for the applicable year exceeds specified target levels, subject to a cap of 5% of such net income.  Northstar New Jersey will be responsible for payments to the State to the extent the lottery net income targets set forth in Northstar New Jersey's successful bid are not achieved, subject to a cap of 2% of the applicable year's net income and a $20,000 shortfall payment credit. 

Under separate supply agreements, Scientific Games will provide Northstar New Jersey with instant lottery games and related services and GTECH will provide Northstar New Jersey with lottery systems and equipment and related services. Scientific Games is expected to have a 30% economic interest (and be responsible for 30% of the capital requirements) associated with these supply arrangements. We own a 30% equity interest in Northstar SupplyCo New Jersey, LLC, an entity we formed with GTECH in connection with these supply arrangements.

In December 2012, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund provisionally awarded our consortium a 12-year concession for the exclusive rights to the production, operation and management of instant ticket and certain traditional lotteries in Greece. In June 2013, the consortium formally incorporated as an operating company principally owned by OPAP S.A., us and Intralot, S.A. We own a 16.5% equity interest in the operating company. In July 2013, the operating company executed the concession agreement with the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund. The commencement of operations under the concession agreement remains subject to Greek parliamentary and competition authority approvals. Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, the operating company will pay an upfront fee of €190,000 to the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund, of which our portion will be €31,400, and will be responsible for a monthly fee to the Greek government equal to a percentage of gross gaming revenue.  In July 2013, we contributed approximately €6,600 to the operating company, representing our pro rata share of the operating company's minimum capital requirement, amounts required for working capital and the first installment of the €190,000 upfront fee to be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the conditions. In July 2013, we executed an instant ticket supply agreement with the operating company, pursuant to which we will be the exclusive provider of instant tickets and design services to the operating company and will also be responsible for certain advisory services applicable to all lottery tickets included in the concession.

Credit Agreement

We are party to a credit agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, as amended and restated as of August 25, 2011 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among Scientific Games International, Inc. ("SGI"), as borrower, the Company, as a guarantor, the several lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $250,000 senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan credit facilities under which $556,590 of term loan borrowings were outstanding as of June 30, 2013. There were no borrowings and $36,236 in outstanding letters of credit under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2013. As of June 30, 2013, we had approximately $213,764 available for additional borrowings or letter of credit issuances under the revolving credit facility. Amounts under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed by SGI from time to time until maturity. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions under the Credit Agreement are permitted at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than break-funding costs), upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. The scheduled maturity date of the revolving credit facility commitments and the outstanding term loans is June 30, 2015.
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including negative covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its 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 asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, prepay or modify certain indebtedness, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets.
Our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement will depend on our remaining in compliance with the covenants contained in the Credit Agreement, including the maintenance of the applicable financial ratios. A summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement, including the financial ratios that the Company is required to maintain under the terms of the Credit Agreement, is included in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013.
Other Debt
In April 2013, we repaid with cash on hand RMB 50,000 aggregate principal amount of a China Loan and the Chinese bank returned a $6,500 letter of credit previously issued to support this debt.
Contemplated Financing for WMS Merger    
In connection with the pending acquisition of WMS Industries Inc. ("WMS"), the Company and SGI entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide the financing necessary to complete the transaction. The merger is not conditioned on our obtaining the proceeds of any financing, including the financing contemplated by the commitment letter. All indebtedness under our and WMS' current senior credit facilities will be refinanced or repaid in connection with the financing contemplated by the commitment letter, which we anticipate will result in a loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of deferred financing fees related to our credit facility. For further information regarding the financing, please see the full text of the commitment letter, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 10.68 to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 12, 2013.
In May 2013, we completed the syndication of the contemplated $2,300,000 term loan facility that, together with a previously syndicated $300,000 revolving credit facility, is expected to comprise the financing necessary to complete the pending acquisition of WMS. The term loans are anticipated to bear interest at a rate, at the borrower's option, of either (a) the Eurocurrency rate for a specified interest period plus 3.25% or (b) a base rate plus 2.25%, in either case subject to a Eurocurrency rate floor of 1.00% or a base rate floor of 2.00%, as applicable. In addition, it is anticipated that the term loans will be issued with 0.50% of original issue discount (or payment of an upfront fee in lieu thereof), and that we will pay a ticking fee to the term loan lenders upon closing of the pending acquisition. Borrowings under the contemplated revolving credit facility are anticipated to bear interest at a rate indexed to LIBOR plus 3.00%.
Completion of the acquisition remains subject to approvals by gaming regulatory authorities and other customary closing conditions. Completion of the financing is subject to completion of all regulatory and legal requirements necessary to

20

finalize the acquisition, repayment of borrowings under, and termination of, our and WMS' existing senior credit facilities and other customary closing conditions.
As of June 30, 2013, we have incurred approximately $1,800 of costs related to the syndication of the contemplated term loan facility, which are classified as deferred financing fees in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013.

(9) Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate fair value of our assets and liabilities utilizing an established three-level hierarchy as described in Note 14 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.     
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values.
Interest rate swap contracts
On August 6, 2013, we entered into four forward starting interest rate swap contracts (the "2013 Hedges") with an aggregated notional value of $500,000, which become effective on April 15, 2015 and mature in January 2018. The objective of the 2013 Hedges, which are designated as cash flow hedges of a forecasted transaction in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging, is to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to the LIBOR component of interest expense to be paid on our forecasted variable-rate debt. Under the 2013 Hedges, we will pay interest on the notional amount of debt at an average fixed rate of 2.2% and receive interest on the notional amount of debt at the then prevailing three-month LIBOR rate.

We believe the 2013 Hedges will be highly effective in offsetting changes in the future expected cash flows due to fluctuation in the three-month LIBOR-based rate associated with the notional amount of forecasted variable-rate debt. The effectiveness of the 2013 Hedges will be measured quarterly on a retrospective basis by comparing the cumulative change in the hedging instrument's fair value to the change in the hedged transaction's fair value. To the extent the 2013 Hedges have no ineffectiveness, all gains and losses from the 2013 Hedges will be recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the forecasted underlying transaction occurs. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the cash flow hedges will be recognized together with the hedged transaction as interest expense within our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
Foreign currency forward contracts
During the year ended December 31, 2012, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts for the sale of Euros for U.S. dollars to hedge a portion of the net investment in one of our subsidiaries that is denominated in Euros. Some of these foreign currency forward contracts settled in 2012. In May 2013, we settled the remaining €20,000 in aggregated notional amount of the foreign currency forward contracts with a weighted average rate of approximately 1.2690.
We designated the forward contracts as qualified hedges in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Gains and losses from the foreign currency forward contracts are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income on our Consolidated Balance Sheets until the investment is liquidated. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a loss associated with the forward contracts of approximately $325 and a gain of approximately $400, respectively, in other comprehensive (loss) income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income.
In accordance with ASC 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures, we record our share of a derivative instrument held by Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. ("LNS") in which we have a 20% equity investment. Changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument are recorded by LNS within other comprehensive income on LNS' statement of comprehensive income. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, we recorded a gain associated with our share of this derivative instrument of $292 and $297, respectively, in other comprehensive (loss) income on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income and in equity investments on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

(11) Stock-Based Compensation
 
We offer stock-based compensation through the use of stock options and RSUs. We also offer the ESPP.
We grant stock options to employees and directors under our equity-based compensation plans with exercise prices that are not less than the fair market value of our common stock on the date of grant. The terms of the stock option and RSU awards, including the vesting schedule of such awards, are determined at our discretion subject to the terms of the applicable equity-based compensation plan. Options granted over the last several years have generally been exercisable in four or five equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant with a maximum term of ten years. RSUs typically vest in four or five equal installments beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant or when certain performance targets are met. There are 13,500 shares of common stock authorized for awards under our 2003 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”) plus available shares from a preexisting equity-based compensation plan, which plans were approved by our stockholders. We record compensation expense for stock options and RSUs based on the fair value at the grant date.
The Company may grant certain awards, the vesting of which is contingent upon the Company achieving certain performance targets. Upon determining that the performance target is probable, the fair value of the award is recognized over the service period, subject to potential adjustment.
In 2013, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a change in the method of payment of the annual incentive compensation for 2013 under which senior executives of the Company will be paid all or a portion of any bonus earned by them for 2013 in the form of RSUs in lieu of cash. In particular, 100% of any 2013 bonus earned by A. Lorne Weil, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, 50% of any 2013 bonus earned by each of the Company's other named executive officers and 25% of any 2013 bonus of certain other executives, will be paid in the form of RSUs. Any such RSUs will vest over two years, subject to forfeiture in the event of a voluntary termination by the executive prior to the end of the term of the executive's employment agreement or termination of the executive by the Company for “cause.” The RSUs will be subject to accelerated vesting in the event of other termination events (e.g., an involuntary termination).
We recorded stock-based compensation expense related to this modification for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 of approximately $185 and $465, respectively.

No options were granted during the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $1,000 and $2,000, respectively, related to the vesting of stock options and the related tax benefit of approximately $380 and $760, respectively, prior to consideration of any valuation allowance recorded against the tax benefit.
 
As of June 30, 2013, we had unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $5,700 relating to stock option awards that will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2012, we recognized stock-based compensation expense of approximately $4,900 and $9,600 related to the vesting of RSUs and the related tax benefit of approximately $1,870 and $3,660, respectively, prior to consideration of any valuation allowance recorded against the tax benefit.
 
As of June 30, 2013, we had unrecognized compensation expense of approximately $39,500 relating to RSUs that will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years.

(12) Pension and Other Post-Retirement Plans
 
We have defined benefit pension plans for our U.K.-based union employees and certain Canadian-based employees (the “U.K. Plan” and the “Canadian Plan,” respectively). 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 applicable regulatory authorities.

We have a 401(k) plan for U.S.-based employees. We contribute 37.5 cents on the dollar for the first 6% of participant contributions for a match of up to 2.25% of eligible compensation.


(13) Income Taxes
The effective tax rates for continuing operations of (37.6)% and (54.1)%, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 and the effective tax rates for continuing operations of (39.1)% and 404.0%, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate and after considering any discrete items for such periods. Due to a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 does not include the benefit of the current year U.S. tax loss. Income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 primarily reflects income tax expense in foreign jurisdictions.

(14) Litigation

Although we are a party to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, we believe, on the basis of information presently available to us, that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not likely have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Our subsidiary, SGI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successors in interest, "Ecosalud"), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, SGI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5,000 if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, SGI delivered to Ecosalud a $4,000 surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia, but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech's exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, 1993.
In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, SGI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. SGI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the “Tribunal”), which upheld both

24

resolutions. SGI appealed each decision to the Council of State. In May 2012, the Council of State upheld the authority of Ecosalud to issue the resolutions, which decision was published in August 2012. As a result of such decision, the Council of State will consider the merits of the claims set forth in the liquidation resolution in due course.
In June 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against SGI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In July 2002, the Tribunal denied SGI's preliminary motion to dismiss the collection proceeding and the decision was upheld on appeal. SGI's procedural defense motion was also denied. In May 2013, the Tribunal denied SGI's merit defenses to the collection proceeding and issued an order of payment of approximately 90,000,000 Colombian pesos (approximately $50,000) plus default interest (potentially accrued since 1994). SGI has filed an appeal to the Council of State, which appeal has stayed the payment order.
SGI believes it has various defenses on the merits against Ecosalud's claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and there can be no assurance that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability.
On April 16, 2012, certain video lottery terminals operated by SNAI S.p.a. ("SNAI") in Italy and supplied by Barcrest Group Limited ("Barcrest") erroneously printed what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets. SNAI has stated, and system data confirms, that no jackpots were actually won on that day. The terminals were deactivated pending a review by the Italian regulatory authority of the cause of the incident. We understand that the Italian regulatory authority has decided to revoke the certification of the version of the gaming system that Barcrest provided to SNAI and initiated proceedings to revoke the concession SNAI relies upon to operate video lottery terminals in Italy. Based on a release issued by SNAI on March 1, 2013, we understand that the Italian regulatory authority has issued a decision in which it fined SNAI €1,500 but did not revoke SNAI's concession.

In October 2012, SNAI filed a lawsuit in the Court of First Instance of Rome in Italy against Barcrest and The Global Draw Limited ("Global Draw"), our subsidiary which acquired Barcrest from IGT-UK Group Limited, claiming liability based on breach of contract and tort. The lawsuit seeks to terminate SNAI's agreement with Barcrest and damages arising from the deactivation of the terminals, including among other things, lost profits, expenses and costs, potential awards to players who have sought to enforce what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets, compensation sought by managers of the gaming locations where SNAI video lottery terminals supplied by Barcrest were installed, damages to commercial reputation and any future damages arising from SNAI's potential loss of its concession or inability to obtain a new concession. In June 2013, Barcrest and Global Draw filed a counterclaim based on SNAI's alleged breach of contract. While we believe we have meritorious defenses and potential third party recoveries, we are still in the process of evaluating the lawsuit and cannot currently predict the outcome of this matter.

Complaints challenging the pending WMS merger were filed earlier this year in the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, Lake County, Illinois. The actions are putative class actions filed on behalf of the WMS stockholders. The complaints generally allege that the WMS directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with their consideration and approval of the merger and in connection with their public disclosures concerning the merger. The complaints allege that other defendants, including WMS, Scientific Games Corporation and certain affiliates of Scientific Games Corporation, aided and abetted those alleged breaches.

The Delaware actions have been consolidated under the caption In re WMS Stockholders Litigation (C.A. No. 8279-VCP). The plaintiffs in the consolidated Delaware actions submitted to the Delaware Court of Chancery a letter advising that they had conferred with the plaintiffs in the Illinois actions and agreed to stay the consolidated Delaware action.
 
The Lake County, Illinois actions have been transferred to Cook County. All of the Illinois actions have been consolidated in Cook County with Gardner v. WMS Industries Inc., et al. (No. 2013 CH 3540).

On April 1, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Gardner action filed a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin the WMS stockholder vote on the merger. On April 26, 2013, lead counsel in the Gardner action, on behalf of counsel for plaintiffs in all actions in Delaware and Illinois, agreed to withdraw the motion for preliminary injunction and not to seek to enjoin the WMS stockholder vote in return for WMS' agreement to make certain supplemental disclosures related to the merger. WMS made those supplemental disclosures on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 29, 2013.

Scientific Games Corporation denies all liability with respect to the claims alleged in the Delaware and Illinois litigation, denies that it or any of its affiliates aided and abetted any purported breaches of fiduciary duty by the WMS directors

25

and denies that any further disclosures are or were required to supplement the definitive proxy statement filed by WMS with the SEC.

Additional lawsuits relating to the merger agreement or the merger may be filed in the future. The outcome of the existing lawsuits or any future lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty. An adverse judgment for monetary damages could have a material adverse effect on the operations and liquidity of WMS or us, as the case may be, and therefore could adversely affect the combined business if the merger is completed. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin completion of the merger.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operations and current business environment. This MD&A 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, 2012 and the “Business” section included in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
 
This MD&A also contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures and information contained and referenced under “Forward-Looking Statements” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
As used in this MD&A, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” mean Scientific Games Corporation together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
 
Business Overview
General
We are a global leader in providing customized, end-to-end gaming solutions to lottery and gaming organizations worldwide. Our integrated array of products and services includes instant lottery games, lottery gaming systems, terminals and services, and internet applications, as well as server-based gaming terminals and associated gaming control systems. We also gain access to technologies and pursue global expansion through strategic supply agreements, acquisitions and equity investments.
We report our operations in three business segments: Printed Products, Lottery Systems and Gaming. Our revenue is classified as instant tickets revenue, service revenue and sales revenue. Instant tickets revenue includes revenue related to our instant lottery ticket fulfillment and services businesses, including our brand licensing and Properties Plus® businesses. Revenue generated from our sales of lottery systems, terminals, gaming terminals, gaming content and phone cards, which sales are typically non-recurring in nature and not subject to multi-year supply agreements, is categorized as sales revenue. All other revenue generated from Lottery Systems (including revenue from the validation of instant tickets and other systems management contracts) and Gaming is classified as service revenue. Certain unallocated expenses managed at the corporate level, comprised primarily of general and administrative costs and other income and expense, are not allocated to our business segments. See “Business Segments Results” below and Note 3 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional business segment information.

The discussion below highlights certain key drivers of our business and certain known trends, demands, commitments, events and uncertainties that have affected our recent, and may affect our future, financial and operating performance.
Pending Merger with WMS
On January 30, 2013, we entered into a merger agreement pursuant to which we agreed to acquire WMS Industries Inc., a leading supplier of gaming machines and interactive gaming systems and content (“WMS”), for $26.00 in cash per common share, for a total enterprise value of approximately $1,500.0 million. In March 2013, we received confirmation from the Federal Trade Commission of early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 in connection with the merger, which satisfied the related closing condition. In May 2013, WMS' stockholders approved the merger. The closing of the merger remains subject to approval by various regulatory authorities and other customary closing conditions. We have filed an application for approval (or otherwise provided the required documentation or information), or have received confirmation that such approval is not required prior to the closing of the merger, in each of the jurisdictions where gaming regulatory approval is a condition to closing under the merger agreement.
In connection with the merger agreement, we entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide the financing necessary to complete the transaction. The merger is not conditioned on our obtaining the proceeds of any financing, including the financing contemplated by the commitment letter. All indebtedness under our and WMS' current senior credit facilities is contemplated to be refinanced or repaid in connection with the financing contemplated by the commitment letter, which we anticipate will result in a loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of deferred financing fees related to our existing senior credit facility.
In May 2013, we completed the syndication of the contemplated $2,300.0 million term loan facility that, together with a previously syndicated $300.0 million revolving credit facility, is expected to comprise the financing necessary to complete the merger. Completion of the financing is subject to completion of all regulatory and legal requirements necessary to finalize the

35

acquisition, repayment of borrowings under, and termination of, our and WMS' existing senior credit facilities and other customary closing conditions. See Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information regarding the contemplated financing.
In connection with the pending merger, we incurred approximately $2.4 million and $6.2 million in regulatory costs, professional fees and other expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, with additional transaction-related fees and expenses anticipated to be incurred throughout the balance of 2013.

For additional information regarding the pending merger with WMS and the contemplated financing, please see the full text of the merger agreement, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 2.1 to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 5, 2013, and the full text of the commitment letter, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 10.68 to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2013.

Printed Products
Our Printed Products segment is primarily comprised of our global instant ticket lottery business. We generate revenue from the manufacture and sale of instant tickets, as well as the provision of value-added services such as game design, sales and marketing support, specialty games and promotions, inventory management and warehousing and fulfillment services. We also provide lotteries with fully integrated instant ticket product management services under our cooperative service programs ("CSPs") to help them efficiently and effectively manage and support their operations to achieve higher retail sales and lower operating costs. Moreover, we provide licensed games, promotional entertainment and internet-based services to the lottery industry. Our U.S. instant ticket contracts typically have an initial term of three to five years and frequently include multiple renewal options for additional periods ranging from one to five years, which our customers have generally exercised in the past. We typically sell our instant lottery tickets for a price per thousand units (“PPK”) or for a fee equal to a percentage of the retail sales of the instant lottery tickets (“POS”). Under our CSP contracts we are typically paid on a POS basis. Some of our international customers purchase instant lottery tickets periodically rather than through multi-year supply contracts.
We consider retail sales of instant tickets to be a key performance indicator of our instant ticket revenue, although there may not always be a direct correlation between retail sales and our instant ticket revenue due to the type of contract (e.g., PPK versus POS or CSP contracts), the impact of changes in our customer contracts, the performance of our licensed properties business or other factors. Based on third-party data, our U.S. customers' total instant ticket lottery retail sales increased 4.9% and 3.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, driven by strong performance in larger states.
Our licensed game contracts are generally game-specific and therefore short-term and non-recurring. Our instant ticket revenue may be negatively impacted to the extent we are unable to continue to win licensed game-specific or multi-state game contracts. In January 2013, we entered into a new license agreement with Hasbro International, Inc. (“Hasbro”) for the use of certain of Hasbro's licensed properties through December 31, 2016.
There has been increased interest within the lottery industry in player loyalty programs, which we believe may result in further growth opportunities for our Properties Plus loyalty program, which features players clubs, reward programs, second chance promotional websites and interactive games. We commenced new Properties Plus programs with four lotteries during 2012 and had a total of seven active programs as of December 31, 2012. In February 2013, the Maryland lottery signed an agreement with us for a Properties Plus program.
We are the primary supplier of instant lottery tickets for Lotterie Nazionali S.r.l. ("LNS"), in which we have a 20% equity investment, which was awarded the concession to be the exclusive operator of the Italian Gratta e Vinci instant ticket lottery beginning on October 1, 2010. The concession has an initial term of nine years (subject to a performance evaluation during the fifth year) and could be extended by the Italian lottery authority for an additional nine years. Over the life of the concession, we expect that we will supply no less than 80% of LNS' instant ticket production requirements. Retail sales for LNS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 declined by approximately 2.4% and 2.6%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, which we believe was due in part to a decline in consumer spending related to difficult economic conditions in Italy.
Northstar Lottery Group, LLC ("Northstar Illinois"), in which we have a 20% equity investment, commenced operations as the private manager of the Illinois lottery on July 1, 2011 under a private management agreement ("PMA") with the State of Illinois. Northstar Illinois is entitled to receive annual incentive compensation payments from the State to the extent it is successful in increasing the lottery's net income (as defined in the PMA) above specified target levels, subject to a cap of

36

5% of the applicable year's net income. Northstar Illinois will be responsible for payments to the State to the extent such targets are not achieved, subject to a similar cap. These net income target levels are subject to upward or downward adjustment under certain circumstances in accordance with the terms of the PMA. Northstar may seek downward adjustments to the net income targets in the event certain actions of the State (or the federal government) have a material adverse effect on the lottery's net income and the ability of Northstar Illinois to receive incentive compensation payments. Additional information regarding our equity investment in Northstar Illinois and the terms of the incentive compensation and shortfall payments is included in Note 10 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In November 2012, an arbitrator determined that Northstar Illinois is entitled to a $28.4 million downward adjustment to the net income target for the lottery's 2012 fiscal year and a $2.9 million downward adjustment to the net income target for the lottery's 2013 fiscal year reflecting, in each case, an adjustment that is less than 5% of the applicable net income target. Under the terms of the PMA, any adjustment by an arbitrator that is less than 5% of the applicable net income target is binding on the parties. The lottery's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 were completed in May 2013. We understand that the lottery has asserted that Northstar Illinois is responsible for a shortfall payment of approximately $20 million with respect to the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012. We understand that Northstar Illinois disagrees with the methodology used by the lottery in calculating the lottery's net income that formed the basis of the lottery's shortfall payment claim and believes that certain other matters that could impact any potential shortfall payment have yet to be resolved, and has initiated the resolution process contemplated by the PMA in an attempt to resolve these matters.

We understand that, despite the matters to be resolved, in light of the completion of the lottery's financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, and based on preliminary financial information for the lottery's fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, Northstar Illinois has recorded a liability of approximately $42 million as of June 30, 2013 associated with its estimate of the potential aggregate net shortfall payments for the first three fiscal years under the PMA. We understand that Northstar Illinois has recorded this estimated potential obligation in other current liabilities on its balance sheet, with an offset to other non-current assets as of June 30, 2013.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, earnings from our equity investment in Northstar Illinois were reduced by an amount equal to the amortization of our 20% share of the $42 million of estimated net shortfall payments recorded by Northstar Illinois, which amortization is allocated over the life of the contract.  These amounts were not material to our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. We may be required to make capital contributions to Northstar Illinois to fund our 20% pro rata share of any shortfall payments that are payable to the State under the PMA.
In December 2012, we formed a consortium with GTECH Corporation (“GTECH”) and a subsidiary of the administrator of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (“OMERS”) to bid for a long-term agreement to provide marketing and sales services for the New Jersey lottery. In April 2013, the State issued a notice of intent to award the services agreement to our consortium. The award of the agreement to our consortium was protested by a union that represents certain of the lottery workers. The protest was denied and the union has appealed the denial of the protest. In June 2013, our consortium entity, Northstar New Jersey Lottery Group, LLC (“Northstar New Jersey”), executed the services agreement and, in connection therewith, made a $120.0 million payment to the State. Services under the agreement are expected to begin on October 1, 2013 following a transition period and end on June 30, 2029. We own a 17.69% equity interest in Northstar New Jersey. In connection with the execution of the services agreement, we contributed approximately $21.2 million, representing our pro rata share of the $120.0 million payment. We are also responsible for our pro rata share of the initial working capital requirements of Northstar New Jersey, of which we have contributed approximately $1.1 million to date.
Under the terms of the agreement with the New Jersey Lottery, Northstar New Jersey will be entitled to receive annual incentive compensation payments to the extent the lottery's net income for the applicable year exceeds specified target levels, subject to a cap of 5% of such net income.  Northstar New Jersey will be responsible for payments to the State to the extent the lottery net income targets set forth in Northstar New Jersey's successful bid are not achieved, subject to a cap of 2% of the applicable year's net income and a $20.0 million shortfall payment credit. 

Under separate supply agreements, Scientific Games will provide Northstar New Jersey with instant lottery games and related services and GTECH will provide Northstar New Jersey with lottery systems and equipment and related services. Scientific Games is expected to have a 30% economic interest (and be responsible for 30% of the capital requirements) associated with these supply arrangements. We own a 30% equity interest in Northstar SupplyCo New Jersey, LLC, an entity we formed with GTECH in connection with these supply arrangements.

As U.S. and international jurisdictions increasingly look toward lottery and gaming as a source of revenue growth, we believe there will be continued interest in pursuing an outsourcing model whereby the day-to-day management of lotteries is conducted by a third party, similar to the PMA model in Illinois. To the extent any of our lottery customers enters into a private management agreement, such lottery customer or the private manager may terminate our existing contract(s) with the lottery

37

customer as part of the transition to the private management model. In 2012, the Indiana lottery awarded a private management agreement to one of our competitors. In March 2013, we entered into an instant ticket lottery contract for five years with the manager of the Indiana lottery, which contract went into effect in April 2013 following the expiration of the instant ticket lottery contract we had with the Indiana lottery.

    In December 2012, the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund provisionally awarded our consortium a 12-year concession for the exclusive rights to the production, operation and management of instant ticket and certain traditional lotteries in Greece. In June 2013, the consortium formally incorporated as an operating company principally owned by OPAP S.A., us and Intralot, S.A. We own a 16.5% equity interest in the operating company. In July 2013, the operating company executed the concession agreement with the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund. The commencement of operations under the concession agreement remains subject to Greek parliamentary and competition authority approvals. Subject to the satisfaction of these conditions, the operating company will pay an upfront fee of €190.0 million to the Hellenic Republic Asset Development Fund, of which our portion will be €31.4 million, and will be responsible for a monthly fee to the Greek government equal to a percentage of gross gaming revenue.  In July 2013, we contributed approximately €6.6 million to the operating company, representing our pro rata share of the operating company's minimum capital requirement, amounts required for working capital and the first installment of the €190.0 million upfront fee to be held in escrow pending satisfaction of the conditions. In July 2013, we executed an instant ticket supply agreement with the operating company, pursuant to which we will be the exclusive provider of instant tickets and design services to the operating company and will also be responsible for certain advisory services applicable to all lottery tickets included in the concession.
There can be no assurance that the required approvals will be obtained or that operations under the new concession will otherwise commence. In the event operations under the new concession do not commence, we may not be able to recover the amounts that we have contributed to the operating company. According to third-party data, in 2011, OPAP generated €4.4 billion in total lottery retail sales in Greece, or approximately €386 on a per capita basis, making it the third largest lottery in the world in terms of per capita sales based on third-party data. The instant ticket lottery has been inactive since 2003.

In May 2013, a strategic alliance we formed with a Panamanian company entered into a ten-year contract with the with Loteria Nacional de Beneficencia of Panama (the National Lottery of Panama) to supply instant tickets under a cooperative services program beginning in May 2013. We are the exclusive supplier of instant tickets and services to the consortium for the term of the contract.

In May 2013, we signed an instant ticket and cooperative services contract with Loteria Electronica Internacional Dominicana S.A. ("LEIDSA"), the largest electronic lottery licensed by Loteria Nacional de la Republica Dominicana (the Dominican Republic National Lottery). The seven-year contract, which commenced in May 2013, includes an option for LEIDSA to extend the contract for an additional three years. Under the contract, we will be compensated for instant tickets on a PPK basis and will also receive a percentage of instant ticket retail sales for providing cooperative services.

In July 2013, we signed an instant ticket contract with the Rhode Island lottery to serve as the sole supplier of instant tickets on a PPK basis. The three-year contract, which commenced in July 2013, includes five one-year contract extension options held by the Rhode Island lottery.

Lottery Systems

We are a leading provider of customized computer software, software support, and equipment and data communication services to lotteries. In the U.S., we typically provide the necessary equipment, software and maintenance services pursuant to long-term contracts that typically have an initial term of at least five years and under which we are generally paid a fee equal to a percentage of the lottery's total retail sales. Our U.S. contracts typically contain multiple renewal options, which our customers have generally exercised in the past. Internationally, we typically sell point-of-sale terminals and/or computer software to lottery authorities and may provide ongoing fee-based systems and software support services.
We believe that retail sales of draw games is a key performance indicator of our Lottery Systems service revenue, although there may not always be a direct correlation between retail sales and our Lottery Systems revenue due to the terms of contracts, the impact of changes in our customer contracts or other factors. The level of jackpots of the Powerball® and Mega Millions® multi-state draw lottery games have an impact on U.S. retail sales and, therefore, on our service revenue in any given period. The industry experienced the largest Mega Millions jackpot in history ($656 million) during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and experienced the largest Powerball jackpot in history ($591 million) during the three months ended June 30, 2013.

Based on third-party data, our Lottery Systems customers' total draw game retail sales in the U.S. increased 10.8% for

38

the three months ended June 30, 2013 and decreased 2.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012. Our Lottery Systems service revenue in the U.S. increased 4.4% and decreased 2.0% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, due in part to the size of Mega Millions and Powerball jackpots in the respective periods. Our Lottery Systems service revenue is also impacted by retail sales of instant lottery tickets where we provide instant lottery ticket validation services as part of a Lottery Systems contract. Our Lottery Systems sales revenue primarily relates to sales of equipment that are non-recurring in nature.

Our lottery systems contract with the Indiana lottery was terminated in connection with the award of a private management agreement to another vendor. We entered into an agreement with the private manager of the Indiana lottery to provide our existing lottery systems equipment and related services through August 2016, which agreement commenced in April 2013. In February 2013, we executed a five-year extension of our lottery systems contract with the Connecticut lottery. In March 2013, we executed a contract with the Oklahoma Lottery to continue supplying instant tickets and lottery services for an initial period of one year subject to nine one-year contract extension options held by the lottery. In June 2013, the Colorado lottery awarded a new lottery systems contract to one of our competitors. We have protested the contract award. We will continue to provide lottery systems services to the Colorado lottery under our existing contract through October 2014.

In May 2013, a strategic alliance, principally comprised of us and 888 Holdings Public Limited Company, as the primary vendor, and Williams Interactive LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of WMS), as the game content vendor, was awarded a contract to provide internet gaming systems and services to the Delaware lottery for an initial period of five years, subject to four one-year contract extensions held by the lottery.
 
We are the exclusive instant ticket validation network provider to the China Sports Lottery ("CSL") under an agreement that expires in January 2016. Under the terms of this agreement, the POS rate we receive decreased by 0.1% in January 2012 and is scheduled to decrease by an additional 0.1% in January 2014. We have seen a recent decline in our instant ticket validation revenue and our joint venture's instant ticket printing revenue as instant ticket retail sales of the CSL have declined, which we believe is due in part to competition from other lottery products impacting instant ticket sales. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, instant ticket retail sales of the CSL decreased approximately 7.6% and 9.9%, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012. We remain focused on improving retail sales by expanding the lottery retailer network and increasing our involvement in the game selection process and instant ticket promotions. We believe it will take some time for any such actions to take effect. To the extent we are not able to successfully implement these remedial actions and offset our CSL contract rate reductions by retail sales growth, our revenue and profitability may be adversely affected.

Gaming
We are a leading supplier of server-based gaming terminals and systems and game content primarily to bookmakers that operate licensed betting offices ("LBOs") in the U.K. and to gaming operators outside the U.K. We also supply gaming terminals, systems and game content to bingo halls and arcades in the U.K. and continental Europe. We provide many of our Gaming customers with turnkey offerings, which typically include gaming terminals, remote management of game content and management information, central computer systems, secure data communication and field support services. We develop our own game content and supplement our offerings with content from third parties. We also provide interactive gaming products and services including development and marketing of digital content, products, services and end-to-end solutions that address interactive, social, casual and mobile gaming opportunities.
In our U.K. gaming terminal business, our compensation is typically based on gross win (i.e., amount bet less player winnings) generated by our gaming terminals (subject to certain adjustments as may be specified in a particular contract, including adjustments for taxes and other fees). Our Gaming service revenue is therefore impacted by the size of our installed gaming terminal base and the gross win generated by our terminals. Our Gaming sales revenue is generally non-recurring in nature.

Our U.K. LBO contracts generally have initial terms of two to four years with potential extensions. Our gross win per terminal per day decreased approximately 2.1% and 1.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2012, which we believe is due in part to challenging economic conditions. Our installed base of LBO gaming terminals in the U.K. increased from approximately 20,500 as of June 30, 2012 to 21,700 as of June 30, 2013 primarily as a result of increased growth of the large LBO operators' estates for the period ended June 30, 2013 as compared to the same period in 2012. In June 2013, Betfred Group Ltd. ("Betfred"), a U.K. bookmaker, awarded a contract for the exclusive supply of gaming terminals to one of our competitors (currently the primary supplier of gaming terminals to Betfred) which will take effect following the expiration of our contract with Betfred in December 2013. The loss of this contract will impact our results of operations in 2014.

39

 
We are also a leading supplier of gaming content, platforms and systems to gaming operators in the U.K. and continental Europe, LBOs, bingo halls and arcades. We have an expansive library of gaming titles and properties, as well as an existing base of business in interactive gaming in which game content is made available through internet, mobile and other digital delivery channels. We had an installed base of approximately 2,700 gaming terminals related to our bingo hall and arcade business as of June 30, 2013 and 5,300 gaming terminals related to our U.K. pub, bingo hall and arcade business as of June 30, 2012. In January 2012, following a comprehensive strategic review, we announced our exit from the amusement with prize ("AWP") analog terminal business of Barcrest Group Limited ("Barcrest"), which we acquired in October 2011, in order to focus our game design and other resources solely on our digital server-based supply model. We also reorganized our pub business to more effectively capitalize on the Barcrest acquisition. In March 2013, we sold our installed base of gaming terminals in our pub business to a third party. The sale of the gaming terminals decreased our installed base of gaming terminals but did not have a material impact on our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
  
We continue to seek to expand our server-based gaming terminal business outside the U.K., with current deployments in the Caribbean, Czech Republic, Mexico and Puerto Rico. We had an installed base of approximately 5,200 and 5,900 gaming terminals outside of the U.K. as of June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In April 2012, approximately 1,400 video lottery terminals operated by SNAI in Italy and supplied by Barcrest were deactivated following the erroneous printing of what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets. The deactivation of the terminals negatively impacted the Gaming results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. See "Legal Proceedings" in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for further information. We are recording the revenue from our gaming contract with a customer in Puerto Rico on a cost recovery (cash basis) method, which negatively impacted our Gaming results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the same periods in 2012.
In late 2010, the U.K. government announced its intention to change the taxation of gaming machines by replacing the currently applicable amusement machine license duty and the value-added tax with a new machine games duty, or MGD, based on the gross win generated by a gaming machine. In a budget statement issued in March 2012, the U.K. government announced a standard MGD rate of 20% on gross win, effective February 1, 2013. These tax changes may impact our gaming machine customers' businesses and, therefore, could negatively impact our business in 2013.
Competition
We believe we are likely to continue to experience a highly competitive environment for U.S. and international customer contracts in connection with bids, re-bids, extensions and renewals, which could lead to loss of contracts, rate or volume reductions and additional service requirements in contracts that we win or retain. See the table under “Business - Contract Procurement” in Item 1 of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our customer contracts, including when they may become subject to re-bid, extension, or renewal. Our strategy to mitigate these industry trends includes working with our customers to grow their sales through a variety of methods, including launching new products and services, implementing innovative technologies and marketing tools, and expanding retail distribution.

Foreign Currency Risk

We derived approximately 53% and 52% of our annual revenue from sales to customers outside of the U.S. in 2012 and 2011, respectively, and are affected by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly the British Pound Sterling and the Euro. The British Pound Sterling and the Euro represented, respectively, approximately $114.0 million, or 25.1%, and $25 million, or 5.5%, of our consolidated revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Historically, foreign currency fluctuations have impacted our revenue more than our expenses, as a portion of our raw materials, such as paper, ink and point-of-sale terminals, is contracted for in U.S. dollars. We also have foreign currency exposure related to certain of our equity investments. Our earnings from our Euro-denominated equity investment in LNS were $9.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2013. Our foreign currency exposure from equity investments denominated in other foreign currencies was not material in the aggregate for the six months ended June 30, 2013. When we refer to the impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, we are referring to the difference between the relevant period rates and the prior period rates applied to the relevant period activity.

We manage our foreign currency exchange risks on a global basis by (1) securing payment from our customers in the functional currency of the selling subsidiary when possible, (2) entering into foreign currency exchange or other contracts to hedge the risk associated with certain firm sales commitments, net investments and certain assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies and (3) netting asset and liability exposures denominated in similar foreign currencies to the extent possible.

During 2012, we entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge a portion of the net investment in one of

40

our subsidiaries that is denominated in Euros. These foreign currency forward contracts are described in Note 9 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.


Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In December 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued guidance enhancing disclosure requirements about the nature of an entity's right to offset and related arrangements associated with its financial instruments and derivative instruments. The new guidance requires the disclosure of the gross amounts subject to rights of set-off, amounts offset in accordance with the accounting standards followed, and the related net exposure. In January 2013, the FASB clarified that the scope of this guidance applies to derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase agreements and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities borrowing and securities lending transactions that are either offset or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement, or similar agreements. The new guidance became effective for us beginning January 1, 2013. The adoption of this amendment did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance on presentation of comprehensive income to improve the reporting of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. The guidance requires an entity to provide information about the amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by component. In addition, an entity is required to present, either on the face of the statement where net income is presented or in the notes, significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income by the respective line items of net income but only if the amount reclassified is required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified to net income in its entirety in the same reporting period. For other amounts that are not required under U.S. GAAP to be reclassified in their entirety to net income, an entity is required to cross-reference to other disclosures required under U.S. GAAP that provide additional detail about those amounts. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements as we did not have any material reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.
 
In February 2013, the FASB amended guidance related to the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. The guidance requires an entity to measure obligations resulting from such arrangements as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay pursuant to its agreement with its co-obligors and any additional amount it expects to pay on behalf of such co-obligors. In addition, the amendment requires an entity to disclose the nature and amount of the obligation as well as other information about the obligation. The guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2013 and is to be applied retrospectively. The adoption of the amendment is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

In March 2013, the FASB amended guidance related to a parent company's accounting for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment into net income upon derecognition of certain subsidiaries or groups of assets within a foreign entity or of an investment in a foreign entity. This guidance is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2013, and is to be applied prospectively to derecognition events occurring after the effective date. The adoption of the amendment is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.

Revenue

Consolidated revenue reflected an increase in instant ticket revenue and sales revenue while service revenue was flat when compared to the prior-year period. The increase in our instant ticket revenue reflected higher revenue from our PPK, POS and CSP contracts in the U.S. and certain international jurisdictions. Service revenue reflected an increase in revenue from our Lottery Systems business related to a record Powerball jackpot during the three months ended June 30, 2013, partially offset by a decrease in service revenue from our Gaming operations primarily due to lower service revenue from our gaming customers outside the U.K., and the loss of the William Hill contract in the prior-year period. Our sales revenue, which can fluctuate from period to period due to its non-recurring nature, reflected higher sales to international Lottery Systems customers

42

partially offset by lower sales of gaming terminals to our Gaming customers. Consolidated revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2013 also reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $2.2 million.

Cost of Revenue

Consolidated cost of revenue increased primarily as a result of higher revenue. Cost of instant tickets increased 5% compared to an increase in instant ticket revenue of 6%. Cost of services increased 8% compared to flat service revenue, primarily due to a less profitable mix of revenue in our Lottery Systems and Gaming businesses. Cost of sales increased as a result of an increase in sales revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")
 
SG&A costs were flat despite the inclusion of higher acquisition-related fees and expenses of $2.4 million, higher legal fees related to our gaming business in Italy of $1.0 million and incremental overhead expenses from acquisitions. These increases were primarily offset by a decrease in accounts receivable reserves of approximately $2.4 million related to our gaming business.
 
Employee Termination and Restructuring
 
Employee termination and restructuring costs decreased due to restructuring costs incurred in the prior-year period related to our exit from the Barcrest analog AWP business, the reorganization of our pub business and the restructuring of our Australian printing operations.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to $8.7 million of depreciation related to a write-down of used gaming terminals and accelerated depreciation related to our change in the estimated useful lives of our gaming terminal fixed assets as discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. Depreciation also increased $1.8 million primarily due to new hardware deployed in our Lottery Systems U.S. and China operations. The increase was partially offset by lower depreciation expense of $4.0 million reflecting the prior-year accelerated depreciation expense related to the reorganization of our Australian operations and accelerated depreciation related to the write-down of certain development costs.  

Other Income and Expense
 
Interest expense increased due to an increase in our senior subordinated indebtedness compared to the prior-year period.
 
Earnings from equity investments decreased primarily due to a decrease in earnings from our investments in International Terminal Leasing ("ITL") and Northstar Illinois.

Other income increased principally due to a foreign exchange transaction expense in the prior-year period.

Income Tax Expense
 
Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2013 was lower compared to the prior-year period, primarily due to a decrease in foreign earnings. The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were (37.6)% and (54.1)%, respectively. Due to a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 does not include the benefit of the current year U.S. tax loss.

Revenue

The increase in instant ticket revenue was primarily due to higher revenue of $5.3 million from our U.S. and international PPK contracts, higher revenue of approximately $1.8 million from our POS and CSP contracts in the U.S. and certain international jurisdictions where we are compensated based on a percentage of retail sales and the acquisition of Provoloto in 2012. Revenue also reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation of approximately $0.6 million.
Operating Income     
Operating income increased primarily due to higher revenue, lower employee termination and restructuring costs of $4.5 million and lower depreciation expense of $4.0 million reflecting the prior-year accelerated depreciation expense related to the reorganization of our Australian operations and accelerated depreciation related to the write-down of certain development costs.

The increase in Lottery Systems service revenue reflected higher revenue of $1.5 million from U.S. customers primarily due to a record Powerball jackpot during the three months ended June 30, 2013. The increase in service revenue was partially offset by $0.5 million in lower revenue from our China operations as compared to the same period in 2012. The increase in Lottery Systems sales revenue primarily reflected higher sales of hardware and software to our international customers.

Operating Income
 
Operating income decreased primarily due to a less profitable mix of revenue and higher depreciation and amortization related to new hardware deployed in our U.S. and China operations.

Revenue

The decrease in Gaming service revenue reflected the loss of the William Hill contract in early 2012 and lower revenue from our gaming customer in Puerto Rico. Service revenue also reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation of $1.2 million. These decreases were partially offset by higher revenue of $2.4 million from our U.K. customers. Sales revenue decreased due to lower sales of gaming terminals.
Operating Income

Operating income decreased primarily due to lower revenue and higher depreciation expense associated with a write-down of used gaming terminals and accelerated depreciation related to our change in the estimated useful lives of our gaming terminals as discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These decreases were partially offset by lower SG&A due to lower accounts receivable reserves and lower employee termination and restructuring charges compared to the prior-year period.

Revenue

Consolidated revenue reflected an increase in instant ticket revenue and decreases in service and sales revenue. The increase in our instant ticket revenue reflected higher international POS and CSP contract revenue, the acquisition of Provoloto in 2012, as well as an increase from our licensed properties business largely due to our new Properties Plus contracts. Our service revenue reflected a decrease in our Lottery Systems service revenue primarily due to smaller Mega Millions jackpots compared to the prior-year period and lower revenue from our China operations. Gaming service revenue declined due to the loss of the William Hill contract in the prior-year period and lower international revenue from customers outside the U.K., partially offset by higher revenue from our existing U.K. LBO customers and the acquisition of ADS/Technology and Gaming, Ltd. ("ADS") in 2012. Our sales revenue primarily reflected lower sales of gaming terminals.

47


Cost of Revenue

Consolidated cost of revenue increased primarily as a result of higher instant ticket revenue and a less profitable mix of business for service revenue as compared to the prior-year period. These increases in cost of revenue were partially offset by lower cost of sales due to lower sales revenue. Cost of instant tickets increased 1% compared to a 3% increase in instant ticket revenue. Cost of services increased 7% compared to a decrease in service revenue of 3%. Cost of sales decreased 17% compared to a 9% decrease in sales revenue.

Selling, General and Administrative ("SG&A")
 
The increase in SG&A reflected higher acquisition-related fees and expenses of $6.5 million, higher legal fees related to our gaming business in Italy of $2.0 million, an insurance recovery received in the prior-year period net of an insurance recovery received in the current period of $1.4 million, incremental overhead expenses from acquisitions of $1.5 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in accounts receivable reserves of $2.4 million related to our gaming business and lower compensation expense of $4.6 million.
    
Employee Termination and Restructuring
 
Employee termination and restructuring costs decreased due to restructuring costs incurred in the prior-year period related to our exit from the Barcrest analog AWP business, the reorganization of our pub business and the restructuring of our Australian printing operations.

Depreciation and Amortization
 
Depreciation and amortization expense increased in part due to an increase in amortization of intangible assets in our licensed properties business, an increase in depreciation related to our U.S. and China operations, accelerated depreciation related to the write-down of used gaming terminals and accelerated deprecation related to our change in the estimated useful lives of our gaming terminal fixed assets as discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Other Income and Expense
 
Interest expense increased due to the increase in our senior subordinated indebtedness compared to the prior-year period.

Earnings from equity investments decreased primarily due to a decrease in earnings from our investments in ITL, Northstar Illinois and LNS.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was lower compared to the same period in the prior year primarily due to a decrease in foreign earnings. The effective tax rates for continuing operations for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 were (39.1)% and 404.0%, respectively. Due to a valuation allowance against our U.S. deferred tax assets, the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 does not include the benefit of the current year U.S. tax loss.

Revenue
The increase in instant ticket revenue reflected higher international POS and CSP contract revenue of $2.0 million, slightly higher international PPK contract revenue and the acquisition of Provoloto in 2012 of $3.1 million, as well as a $2.6 million increase from our licensed properties business largely due to our new Properties Plus contracts. These increases were partially offset by lower U.S. POS and CSP contract revenue of $0.9 million.
Operating Income
Operating income increased primarily due to higher revenue, a decrease in depreciation expense of $3.0 million compared to the prior-year period when we recorded accelerated depreciation expense related to the reorganization of our Australian operations and accelerated depreciation expense related to the write-down of certain development costs and lower employee termination and restructuring charges of $4.2 million. These increases were partially offset by higher SG&A reflecting expenses relating to the acquisition of Provoloto in 2012 and an insurance recovery received in the prior-year period offset by lower compensation expense.

Revenue  

The decrease in Lottery Systems service revenue reflected lower service revenue of $2.6 million due to smaller Mega Millions jackpots compared to the prior-year period and lower international instant ticket validation revenue in China of $1.3 million due to a decline in retail sales. These decreases were partially offset by $1.5 million in higher service revenue from a record Powerball jackpot and higher U.S. instant ticket validation revenue of $0.7 million. Lottery Systems sales revenue was flat for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased primarily due to lower revenue, higher depreciation related to new hardware deployed in our U.S. and China operations and higher SG&A expenses.

Revenue

Revenue decreased compared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to a $6.1 million impact of lower revenue from our international gaming customers, including customers in Puerto Rico and Italy and the loss of the William Hill contract. Service revenue also reflected unfavorable foreign currency translation of $0.8 million. These decreases were partially offset by increased revenue of $4.2 million from our existing U.K. LBO customers and the acquisition of ADS in 2012. Sales revenue decreased due to lower sales of gaming terminals.
Operating Income
Operating income decreased primarily due to lower revenue and accelerated depreciation expense related to a write-down of used gaming terminals and accelerated deprecation related to our change in the estimated useful lives of our gaming terminal fixed assets as discussed in Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The decrease in operating income was partially offset by lower employee termination and restructuring charges of $3.5 million.
Critical Accounting Policies 
There have been no 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 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K. 

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital

Sources of Liquidity
As of June 30, 2013, our principal sources of liquidity were cash and equivalents and amounts available under our revolving credit facility discussed below under “Credit Agreement and Other Debt.”
As of June 30, 2013, our available cash and cash equivalents and borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility totaled $291.9 million (including cash and cash equivalents of $78.1 million and availability of $213.8 million under our revolving credit facility) compared to $315.2 million as of December 31, 2012 (including cash and cash equivalents of $109.0 million and availability of $206.2 million under our revolving credit facility). There were no borrowings outstanding

51

under our revolving credit facility; however, we had $36.2 million in outstanding letters of credit as of June 30, 2013, which reduces the borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. The amount of our available cash and cash equivalents fluctuates principally based on borrowings or repayments under our credit facilities, investments, acquisitions and changes in our working capital position. Our borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will depend on outstanding borrowings and letters of credit issued under the revolving credit facility and will depend on our remaining in compliance with the covenants under our credit agreement, including the maintenance of applicable financial ratios. We were in compliance with the covenants under our credit agreement as of June 30, 2013.

We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future; however, there can be no assurance that this will be the case. We believe that substantially all cash held outside the U.S. is free from legal encumbrances or similar restrictions that would prevent it from being available to meet the Company's global liquidity needs.
Total cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was $63.5 million as of June 30, 2013. To the extent that a portion of our foreign cash was required to meet liquidity needs in the U.S., we might incur a tax liability, the timing and amount of which would depend on a variety of factors. A significant amount of the cash held by our foreign subsidiaries as of June 30, 2013 could be transferred to the U.S. as repayments of intercompany loans, which would not impact our U.S. tax liability and we have significant U.S. tax loss and foreign tax credit carryovers that would be available to reduce any potential U.S. tax liability should we decide to transfer cash to the U.S. by other means.
Our contracts are periodically subject to renewal and there can be no assurance that we will be successful in sustaining our cash flow from operations if our existing contracts are not renewed, are renewed on less favorable terms, or if we are unable to enter into new contracts. In addition, lottery customers in the U.S. generally require service providers to provide performance bonds in connection with the relevant contract. As of June 30, 2013, our outstanding performance bonds totaled $205.2 million and we are liable to the issuers of such bonds in the event of claims due to non-performance under our contracts. Our ability to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms is subject to the Company's financial condition and to prevailing market conditions, which may be impacted by economic and political events. Although we have not experienced difficulty in obtaining such bonds to date, 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 at 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.

Cash flows from operating activities
The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2013 was primarily due to changes in working capital of approximately $8.7 million that were mainly timing-related and an increase in our net loss adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization, which resulted in lower cash earnings in the six months ended June 30, 2013 compared to the prior-year period. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in distributions from our equity method investees of $2.1 million.

Cash flows from investing activities

52

The increase in net cash used in investing activities was primarily due to an increase in capital expenditures for new press upgrades and gaming terminals for our LBO customers in the U.K. compared to the prior-year period. Net cash used in investing activities also increased due to an increase in our equity method investments of $21.5 million related to a capital contribution to Northstar New Jersey and a decrease in return of capital payments from our equity investees of $2.1 million. The increase in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by a decrease in our cash used for business acquisitions of $12.6 million.
Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2013 as a result of a reduction in payments on long-term debt and financing fees of $18.9 million and a reduction of stock repurchases of $1.9 million. The decrease in net cash used in financing activities was partially offset by a reduction in proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt of $8.7 million.
    
Credit Agreement and Other Debt
Outstanding Debt

As of June 30, 2013, our total debt was comprised principally of $556.6 million outstanding under our term loan facilities under the credit agreement discussed below, $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company's 8.125% senior subordinated notes due 2018, $346.1 million in aggregate principal amount of 9.25% senior subordinated notes due 2019 of Scientific Games International, Inc. (“SGI”), $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of SGI's 6.250% senior subordinated notes due 2020 and loans denominated in Chinese Renminbi Yuan (“RMB”) totaling RMB 40.9 million (the "China Loans").

Credit Agreement

We are party to a credit agreement, dated as of June 9, 2008, as amended and restated as of August 25, 2011 (as so amended, the “Credit Agreement”), among SGI, as borrower, the Company, as a guarantor, the several lenders from time to time party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent.
The Credit Agreement provides for a $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility and senior secured term loan credit facilities. Amounts under the revolving credit facility may be borrowed, repaid and re-borrowed by SGI from time to time until maturity. Voluntary prepayments and commitment reductions under the Credit Agreement are permitted at any time, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty (other than break-funding costs), upon proper notice and subject to a minimum dollar requirement. The scheduled maturity date of the revolving credit facility commitments and the outstanding term loans is June 30, 2015.
The Credit Agreement contains customary covenants, including negative covenants that, among other things, limit the ability of the Company and its 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 asset sales, effect a consolidation or merger, sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all assets, prepay or modify certain indebtedness, or create certain liens and other encumbrances on assets.
A summary of the terms of the Credit Agreement, including the applicable financial ratios that the Company is required to maintain under the terms of the Credit Agreement, is included in Note 13 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

We were in compliance with the covenants under the Credit Agreement as of June 30, 2013.
Other Debt
In April 2013, we repaid with cash on hand RMB 50.0 million in aggregate principal amount of a China Loan and the Chinese bank returned a $6.5 million letter of credit previously issued to support this debt.


Contemplated Financing for WMS Merger

53

In connection with the pending acquisition of WMS, the Company and SGI entered into a commitment letter pursuant to which the lenders party thereto have agreed to provide the financing necessary to complete the transaction. The merger is not conditioned on our obtaining the proceeds of any financing, including the financing contemplated by the commitment letter. All indebtedness under our and WMS' current senior credit facilities will be refinanced or repaid in connection with the financing contemplated by the commitment letter, which we anticipate will result in a loss on the early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of deferred financing fees related to our credit facility.
In May 22, 2013, we completed the syndication of the contemplated $2,300 million term loan facility that, together with a previously syndicated $300.0 million revolving credit facility, is expected to comprise the financing necessary to complete the pending acquisition of WMS. Completion of the financing is subject to completion of all regulatory and legal requirements necessary to finalize the acquisition, repayment of borrowings under, and termination of, our and WMS' existing senior credit facilities and other customary closing conditions.
For further information regarding the financing, please see the full text of the commitment letter, a copy of which is filed as exhibit 10.68 to our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2013 and Note 8 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
As of June 30, 2013, we have incurred $1.8 million of costs related to the syndication of the contemplated term loan facility, which are classified as deferred financing fees in other assets on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2013.

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The following information supplements and amends our disclosure set forth under "Item 3. Legal Proceedings" in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Although we are a party to various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business, we believe, on the basis of information presently available to us, that the ultimate disposition of these matters will not likely have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Our subsidiary, SGI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successors in interest, "Ecosalud"), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, SGI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5.0 million if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, SGI delivered to Ecosalud a $4.0 million surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia, but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech's exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, 1993.
In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, SGI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. SGI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the “Tribunal”), which upheld both resolutions. SGI appealed each decision to the Council of State. In May 2012, the Council of State upheld the authority of Ecosalud to issue the resolutions, which decision was published in August 2012. As a result of such decision, the Council of State will consider the merits of the claims set forth in the liquidation resolution in due course.
In June 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against SGI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In July 2002, the Tribunal denied SGI's preliminary motion to dismiss the collection proceeding and the decision was upheld on appeal. SGI's procedural defense motion was also denied. In May 2013, the Tribunal denied SGI's merit defenses to the collection proceeding and issued an order of payment of approximately 90.0 billion Colombian pesos (approximately $50.0 million) plus default interest (potentially accrued since 1994). SGI has filed an appeal to the Council of State, which appeal has stayed the payment order.
SGI believes it has various defenses on the merits against Ecosalud's claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and there can be no assurance that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability.
On April 16, 2012, certain video lottery terminals operated by SNAI S.p.a. ("SNAI") in Italy and supplied by Barcrest Group Limited ("Barcrest") erroneously printed what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets. SNAI has stated, and system data confirms, that no jackpots were actually won on that day. The terminals were deactivated pending a review by the Italian regulatory authority of the cause of the incident. We understand that the Italian regulatory authority has decided to revoke the certification of the version of the gaming system that Barcrest provided to SNAI and initiated proceedings to revoke the concession SNAI relies upon to operate video lottery terminals in Italy. Based on a release issued by SNAI on March 1, 2013, we understand that the Italian regulatory authority has issued a decision in which it fined SNAI €1.5 million but did not revoke SNAI's concession.

In October 2012, SNAI filed a lawsuit in the Court of First Instance of Rome in Italy against Barcrest and The Global Draw Limited ("Global Draw"), our subsidiary which acquired Barcrest from IGT-UK Group Limited, claiming liability based on breach of contract and tort. The lawsuit seeks to terminate SNAI's agreement with Barcrest and damages arising from the deactivation of the terminals, including among other things, lost profits, expenses and costs, potential awards to players who have sought to enforce what appeared to be winning jackpot and other tickets, compensation sought by managers of the gaming locations where SNAI video lottery terminals supplied by Barcrest were installed, damages to commercial reputation and any future damages arising from SNAI's potential loss of its concession or inability to obtain a new concession. In June 2013, Barcrest and Global Draw filed a counterclaim based on SNAI's alleged breach of contract. While we believe we have

meritorious defenses and potential third party recoveries, we are still in the process of evaluating the lawsuit and cannot currently predict the outcome of this matter.

Complaints challenging the pending WMS merger were filed earlier this year in the Delaware Court of Chancery, the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois and the Circuit Court of the Nineteenth Judicial Circuit, Lake County, Illinois. The actions are putative class actions filed on behalf of the WMS stockholders. The complaints generally allege that the WMS directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with their consideration and approval of the merger and in connection with their public disclosures concerning the merger. The complaints allege that other defendants, including WMS, Scientific Games Corporation and certain affiliates of Scientific Games Corporation, aided and abetted those alleged breaches.

The Delaware actions have been consolidated under the caption In re WMS Stockholders Litigation (C.A. No. 8279-VCP). The plaintiffs in the consolidated Delaware actions submitted to the Delaware Court of Chancery a letter advising that they had conferred with the plaintiffs in the Illinois actions and agreed to stay the consolidated Delaware action.
 
The Lake County, Illinois actions have been transferred to Cook County. All of the Illinois actions have been consolidated in Cook County with Gardner v. WMS Industries Inc., et al. (No. 2013 CH 3540).

On April 1, 2013, the plaintiffs in the Gardner action filed a motion for preliminary injunction to enjoin the WMS stockholder vote on the merger. On April 26, 2013, lead counsel in the Gardner action, on behalf of counsel for plaintiffs in all actions in Delaware and Illinois, agreed to withdraw the motion for preliminary injunction and not to seek to enjoin the WMS stockholder vote in return for WMS' agreement to make certain supplemental disclosures related to the merger. WMS made those supplemental disclosures on a Form 8-K filed with the SEC on April 29, 2013.

Scientific Games Corporation denies all liability with respect to the claims alleged in the Delaware and Illinois litigation, denies that it or any of its affiliates aided and abetted any purported breaches of fiduciary duty by the WMS directors and denies that any further disclosures are or were required to supplement the definitive proxy statement filed by WMS with the SEC.

Additional lawsuits relating to the merger agreement or the merger may be filed in the future. The outcome of the existing lawsuits or any future lawsuits cannot be predicted with certainty. An adverse judgment for monetary damages could have a material adverse effect on the operations and liquidity of WMS or us, as the case may be, and therefore could adversely affect the combined business if the merger is completed. A preliminary injunction could delay or jeopardize the completion of the merger, and an adverse judgment granting permanent injunctive relief could indefinitely enjoin completion of the merger.
