CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

References in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” the “Company” and “Inspired” refer to Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and its subsidiaries unless the context suggests otherwise.

 

Certain statements and other information set forth in this report, including in Item 2, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and elsewhere herein, may relate to future events and expectations, and as such constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding our business strategy, plans and objectives and our expected or contemplated future operations, results, financial condition, beliefs and intentions. In addition, any statements that refer to projections, forecasts or other characterizations or predictions of future events or circumstances, including any underlying assumptions on which such statements are expressly or implicitly based, are forward-looking statements. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “continue,” “can,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “scheduled,” “seek,” “should,” “would” and similar expressions, among others, and negatives expressions including such words, may identify forward-looking statements.

 

Our forward-looking statements reflect our current expectations about our future results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities, and are based upon information currently available to us, our interpretation of what we believe to be significant factors affecting our business and many assumptions regarding future events. Actual results, performance, liquidity, financial condition, prospects and opportunities could differ materially from those expressed in, or implied by, our forward-looking statements. This could occur as a result of various risks and uncertainties, including the following:

 

  government regulation of our industries;
     
  our ability to compete effectively in our industries;
     
  the effect of evolving technology on our business;
     
  our ability to renew long-term contracts and retain customers, and secure new contracts and customers;
     
  our ability to maintain relationships with suppliers;
     
  our ability to protect our intellectual property;
     
  our ability to protect our business against cybersecurity threats;
     
  our ability to successfully grow by acquisition as well as organically;
     
  fluctuations due to seasonality;
     
  our ability to attract and retain key members of our management team;
     
  our need for working capital;
     
  our ability to secure capital for growth and expansion;
     
  changing consumer, technology and other trends in our industries;
     
  our ability to successfully operate across multiple jurisdictions and markets around the world;
     
  changes in local, regional and global economic and political conditions; and
     
  other factors described in the reports and documents we file from time to time with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

 

In light of these risks and uncertainties, and others discussed in this report, there can be no assurance that any matters covered by our forward-looking statements will develop as predicted, expected or implied. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as expressly required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances or any other reason. We advise you to carefully review the reports and documents we file from time to time with the SEC.

NOTES TO THE CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

 

1. Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Company Description and Nature of Operations

 

We are a global gaming technology company, supplying content, platform, gaming terminals and other products and services to online and land-based regulated lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, predominantly on a business-to-business basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions (i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through third party networks. Our content and other products can be found through the consumer-facing portals of our interactive customers and, through our land-based customers, in licensed betting offices, adult gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls, airports, motorway service areas and leisure parks.

 

Management Liquidity Plans

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand, excluding restricted cash, was $35.7 million, and the Company had working capital in addition to unrestricted cash of $20.4 million. The Company recorded a net loss of $0.3 million and net income of $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Net (loss) income includes non-cash stock-based compensation of $5.7 million and $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Historically, the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows provided by operations amounted to $24.8 million and $43.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Management currently believes that the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through November 2025.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

At December 31, 2023  $42.8   $24.0   $0.6   $(12.7)  $(2.9)

 

Revenue recognized that was included in the deferred income balance at the beginning of the periods amounted to $2.1 million and $3.9 million, as restated, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

For the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, there was no significant amounts of revenue recognized as a result of changes in contract transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied in the respective prior periods.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

 

At September 30, 2024, the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts expected to be greater than one year, or performance obligations for which we do not have a right to consideration from the customer in the amount that corresponds to the value to the customer for our performance completed to date, variable consideration which is not accounted for in accordance with the sales-based or usage-based royalties guidance, or contracts which are not wholly unperformed, was approximately $96.2 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize as revenue approximately 12% through December 31, 2024, approximately 60% through December 31, 2026, and the remaining 28% through December 31, 2030.

7. Long term Debt

 

Senior Secured Notes

 

Long-term debt consists of £235.0 million ($315.2 million) of Senior Secured Notes and $2.8 million of capitalized debt fees which are being amortized over the length of the Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.875% and are fully repayable on June 1, 2026.  

 

Under our debt facilities in place as of September 30, 2024, we were not subject to covenant testing on our senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”). We are, however, subject to covenant testing at the level of Inspired Entertainment Inc., the ultimate holding company, on our Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “RCF Agreement”) which required the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.0x on March 31, 2022, stepping down to 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Financial Covenant does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. Covenant testing at September 30, 2024 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.1x.

 

There were no covenant violations in the period ended September 30, 2024.

 

The Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants and certain reporting requirements including the requirement to provide the lender, within 60 days after the close of the quarter, unaudited quarterly financial statements with footnote disclosures. In the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company was unable to comply with this requirement due to the requirement to restate previously reported financial statements as reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 8, 2023. The debt agreement allows the Company a 30-day grace period to provide such financial information once they receive any notice of non-compliance. No such notice was received. Concurrent with the filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 with the SEC on February 27, 2024, the reporting requirement was met.

 

8. Stock-Based Compensation

 

A summary of the Company’s Restricted Stock Unit (“RSU”) activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 is as follows:

 

  

Number of

Shares

 
     
Unvested Outstanding at January 1, 2024 (1)   1,242,175 
Granted (2)   620,934 
Forfeited   (185,468)
Vested   (110,647)
Unvested Outstanding at September 30, 2024   1,566,994 

 

(1)

The amount shown as “unvested outstanding at January 1, 2024” does not include certain tranches of Adjusted EBITDA RSUs that have performance criteria for annual periods later than 2023 (an aggregate of 312,500 RSUs, including 62,500 subject to 2024 criteria), which were part of sign-on tranches approved for our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer during the years 2021 and 2023, as the applicable performance targets were not set by January 1, 2024 (and, accordingly, the accounting grant dates had not yet occurred for the tranches). Such tranches had previously been included in the amounts shown in 2023 as unvested outstanding since the initial approval date for the tranches.

 

(2) The amount shown as “granted” includes 245,694 performance-based target RSUs for 2024 as to which the number that ultimately vests would range from 0% to 200% of the target amount of RSUs (a maximum of 491,388 RSUs based on attainment of Adjusted EBITDA targets for 2024). The amount shown also includes a tranche of 62,500 Adjusted EBITDA RSUs (subject to performance criteria for 2024) which can be earned at up to 100% of the target amount of RSUs; such tranche was part of a sign-on award of multiple tranches approved in 2021 for our Executive Chairman with respect to which the accounting grant date for the 2024 tranche did not occur until the targets were set in February 2024.

 

The Company issued a total of 355,783 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in connection with the Company’s equity-based plans, which included an aggregate of 333,161 shares issued in connection with the net settlement of RSUs that vested during the prior year (primarily on December 29, 2023).

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, and the entry into the RCF Agreement, on May 19, 2021, the Company terminated all of its interest rate swaps. Accordingly, hedge accounting is no longer applicable. The amounts previously recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income were amortized into Interest expense over the terms of the hedged forecasted interest payments. Losses reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 amounted to $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

 

10. Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

Basic income/loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income/loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and RSUs, unless the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The computation of diluted EPS excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because they were contingently issuable shares or because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

  

   2024   2023   2024   2023 
  

Three Months Ended

Diluted EPS

The calculation of Basic EPS includes the effects of 1,921,997 and 1,790,728 shares for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with respect to RSU awards that have vested but have not yet been issued.

 

11. Other Finance Income (Expense)

 

Other finance income (expense) consisted of the following for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023:

Expected return on pension plan assets   1.0    0.9    3.0    2.8 
Other finance income (expense)  $0.1   $0.1   $0.3   $0.3 

 

12. Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 23.3% and 37.6%, respectively, resulting in a $1.0 million and $2.0 million income tax expense, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 56.8% and 27.6%, respectively, resulting in a $0.4 million income tax benefit and a $2.8 million income tax expense, respectively.

 

The effective tax rate reported in any given year will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors including the level of pre-tax income or loss, the income mix between jurisdictions, and any discrete items that may occur.

 

The Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. However, given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

13. Related Parties

 

Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty Limited (UK Branch) (“Macquarie UK”) (an arranger and lending party under our RCF Agreement) is an affiliate of MIHI LLC, which beneficially owned approximately 11.4% of our common stock as of September 30, 2024. Macquarie UK held $2.2 million of the total $20.1 million of RCF drawn at September 30, 2024, and $2.1 million of the total $19.1 million of RCF drawn at December 31, 2023. Interest expense payable to Macquarie UK for the RCF for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 (including non-utilization fees) amounted to $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 (including non-utilization fees) amounted to $0.2 million and $0.0 million, respectively. Macquarie UK did not hold any of the Company’s senior notes at September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023. MIHI LLC is also a party to a stockholders agreement with the Company and other stockholders, dated December 23, 2016, pursuant to which, subject to certain conditions, MIHI LLC, jointly with Hydra Industries Sponsor LLC, are permitted to designate two directors to be nominated for election as directors of the Company at any annual or special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected, until such time as MIHI LLC and Hydra Industries Sponsor LLC in the aggregate hold less than 5% of the outstanding shares of the Company.

 

Richard Weil, the brother of A. Lorne Weil, our Executive Chairman, provides consulting services to the Company relating to our lottery operations in the Dominican Republic under a consultancy agreement dated December 31, 2021, as amended. The aggregate amount incurred by the Company in consulting fees was $37,500 and $37,500 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, and $112,500 and $97,500 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively

 

14. Leases

 

Certain of our arrangements include leases for equipment installed at customer locations. As the lessor, we combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in arrangements that involve operating leases. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers based on the consideration that the non-lease components are the predominant items in the arrangements. If a component cannot be combined, the consideration is allocated between the lease component and the non-lease component based on relative standalone selling price. The lease component is accounted for under ASC 842, Leases and the non-lease component is accounted for under ASC 606.

 

Lease income from operating leases is not material for any of the periods presented. Lease income from sales type leases is as follows:

 

   2024   2023   2024   2023

15. Commitments and Contingencies

 

Employment Agreements

 

We are party to employment agreements with our executive officers and other employees of the Company and our subsidiaries which contain, among other terms, provisions relating to severance and notice requirements.

 

Legal Matters

 

From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company believes that, currently, it has no such matters that are material, there can be no assurance that existing or new matters arising in the ordinary course of business will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.

16. Pension Plan

 

We operate a defined contribution plan in the US, and both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes in the UK. The defined contribution scheme assets are held separately from those of the Company in independently administered funds.

 

Defined Benefit Pension Scheme

 

The defined benefit scheme has been closed to new entrants since April 1, 1999 and closed to future accruals for services rendered to the Company for the entire financial statement periods presented. The latest actuarial valuation of the scheme (as at March 31, 2021), which was finalized in June 2022, determined that the statutory funding objective was not met, i.e., there were insufficient assets to cover the scheme’s technical provisions and there was a funding shortfall.

 

In June 2022, a recovery plan was put in place to eliminate the funding shortfall. The plan expects the shortfall to be eliminated by October 31, 2026.

 

The following table presents the components of our net periodic pension cost (benefit):

Net periodic cost (benefit)  $0.5   $0.4 

 

17. Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

 

The Company operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are managed and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated.

 

The following tables present revenue, cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization, operating income (loss) and total long-lived asset expenditures for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, by business segment. Certain unallocated corporate function costs have not been allocated to the Company’s reportable operating segments because these costs are not allocable and to do so would not be practical. Corporate function costs consist primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures relating to corporate/shared functions.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results could differ materially from the historical results discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those referenced in the section titled “Risk Factors” included in our annual report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024.

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

We make forward-looking statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For definitions of the term Forward-Looking Statements, see the definitions provided in the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements at the forepart of this report.

 

Seasonality

 

Our results of operations can fluctuate due to seasonal trends and other factors. Sales of our gaming machines can vary quarter on quarter due to both supply and demand factors. Player activity for our holiday parks is generally higher in the second and third quarters of the year, particularly during the summer months and slower during the first and fourth quarters of the year.

 

Revenue

 

We generate revenue in four principal ways: i) on a participation basis, ii) on a fixed rental fee basis, iii) through product sales and iv) through software license fees. Participation revenue generally includes a right to receive a share of our customers’ gaming revenue, typically as a share of net win but sometimes as a share of the handle or “coin in” which represents the total amount wagered.

 

Geographic Range

 

Geographically, the majority of our revenue is derived from, and the majority of our non-current assets are attributable to, our UK operations. The remainder of our revenue is derived from, and non-current assets attributable to, Greece and the rest of the world (including North America).

 

For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, we derived approximately 77% and 76% of our revenue from the UK (including customers headquartered in the UK but whose revenue is generated globally), respectively, 7% (in both periods) from Greece, and the remaining 16% and 17% respectively across the rest of the world. For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2023, we derived approximately 82% and 79% of our revenue from the UK (including customers headquartered in the UK but whose revenue is generated globally), respectively, 5% and 7% from Greece, respectively, and the remaining 13% and 14% respectively across the rest of the world. The UK percentage was impacted by specific Hardware sales, which generally result in a lower margin (“Low Margin sales”), which contributed UK revenues for the three-month period by 39% and for the nine-month period by 16%.

 

As of September 30, 2024, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) were attributable as follows: 74% to the UK, 9% to Greece and 17% across the rest of the world. As of September 30, 2023, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) were attributable as follows: 71% to the UK, 11% to Greece and 18% across the rest of the world.

Foreign Exchange

 

Our results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of the translation of foreign functional currencies into our reporting currency and the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions and balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. The geographic region in which the largest portion of our business is operated is the UK and the British pound (“GBP”) is considered to be our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). Our results are translated from our functional currency of GBP into the reporting currency of USD using average rates for profit and loss transactions and applicable spot rates for period-end balances. The effect of translating our functional currency into our reporting currency, as well as translating the results of foreign subsidiaries that have a different functional currency into our functional currency, is reported separately in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

 

During the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, we derived approximately 23% and 24% of our revenue from sales to customers outside the UK, respectively (see caveat above), compared to 18% and 21% during the three and six months ended September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

In the section “Results of Operations” below, currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior year period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP:USD rate. This is not a U.S. GAAP measure but is one which management believes gives a clearer indication of results. In the tables below, variances in particular line items from period to period exclude currency translation movements, and currency translation impacts are shown independently.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We use certain financial measures that are not compliant with U.S. GAAP (“Non-GAAP financial measures”), including EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. In this discussion and analysis, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures, define and explain these measures and provide reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.

 

Results of Operations

 

Our results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between our functional currency (GBP) and our reporting currency (USD). During the periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, the average GBP:USD rates for the three-month period were 1.30 and 1.27, respectively, and for the nine-month period were 1.28 and 1.25, respectively.

 

The following discussion and analysis of our results of operations has been organized in the following manner:

 

  a discussion and analysis of the Company’s results of operations for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023; and
     
  a discussion and analysis of the results of operations for each of the Company’s segments (Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure) for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, compared to the same period in 2023, including key performance indicator (“KPI”) analysis.

 

In the discussion and analysis below, certain data may vary from the amounts presented in our consolidated financial statements due to rounding.

 

For all reported variances, refer to the overall company and segment tables shown below. All variances discussed in the overall company and segment results are on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, which excludes the impact of any changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Key Events for the Quarter

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 in the Gaming segment, OPAP in Greece ordered 4,000 new VLT’s, expected delivery in country is for 2,400 in H1 2025, with the final balance of 1,600 in Q4 2025.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 we joined the Scientific Games Content Hub Partner Program, the global lottery industry’s premier content delivery platform, enabling Inspired to distribute to Scientific Games iLottery customers around the world.

 

During the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 the Interactive segment went live with seventeen new operators. The total number of customers at the end of the period increased by twelve overall due to the closure of several smaller-scale customers.

 

Key agreements made in the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 include a contract with Mecca Bingo for the provision of gaming machines, including the installation of 150 terminals with expected deployment in the fourth quarter of 2024 and a five-year machine supply agreement with Carlton Bingo, both in the Leisure segment.

Revenue (for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2023)

 

Consolidated Reported Revenue by Segment

 

 

 

There were no Low Margin-related sales for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024. For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2023 Low Margin-related sales were $22.7 million and $27.1 million, respectively.

 

For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, revenue on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis decreased by $21.5 million and $30.2 million compared to the same period in 2023.

 

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, Gaming revenue declined by $22.4 million predominantly due to a decrease in product sales of $22.8 million, of which $22.7 million were Low Margin sales. Gaming service revenue grew by $0.4 million predominately due to growth in North America and a customer bonus included the UK. Virtual Sports revenue declined by $2.5 million, with $2.2 million of the reduction from Online. Interactive revenue grew by $2.7 million with growth driven in the UK and North American markets. Leisure revenue grew by $0.7 million, predominately driven by growth in the Holiday Parks and Motorway Service Area sectors.

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, Gaming revenue declined by $30.6 million   predominantly due to a decrease in product sales of $26.5 million, of which $27.1 million were Low Margin sales. Gaming service revenue declined by $4.1 million, predominately due to declines in the UK, mainland Europe and Greece. Virtual Sports declined by $9.0 million, with $8.7 million of the reduction coming from Online. Interactive revenue grew by $7.2 million, which was driven by growth in the UK, mainland Europe and North America. Leisure grew by $2.2 million, predominantly driven by growth in the Holiday Parks and Pubs sectors.

Cost of Sales, excluding depreciation and amortization

 

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, decreased by $25.7 million and $31.6 million, respectively, or 53% and 32% respectively. The decreases were driven by $24.2 million and $28.9 million decreases in cost of product, respectively, predominately driven by the decrease in low margin product sales.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024 increased by $5.5 million and $15.1 million, respectively, or 23% and 21%, respectively.

 

The increase during the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by an increase in exceptional items of $4.0 million predominantly due to the costs of the restatement of our prior financial statements and the costs of group restructuring, along with increases in IT costs of $0.7 million and storage and distribution costs of $0.5 million

 

The increase during the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 was driven primarily by the $10.6 million costs of the restatement of our prior financial statements, an increase in non-staff costs of $4.6 million, predominantly driven by increases in storage and distribution, IT and facility costs  

 

Stock-based compensation

 

During the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded expenses of $1.8 million and $5.7 million, respectively, compared to expenses of $3.3 million and $9.3 million for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2023. All expenses were related to outstanding awards but the nine-months ended September 30, 2023, included $0.4 million related to award units that were fully vested on the date of grant and therefore were expensed immediately and also included $0.7 million related to the costs of the restatement of our prior financial statements.  

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization for the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by $0.7 million driven mainly by an increase in Virtual Sports of $0.5 million for increased software development

 

Depreciation and amortization for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 increased by $1.2 million driven by increases in Virtuals of $2.2 million and Interactive of $1.4 million for increased software development and intangible assets, offset by reductions in Gaming of $1.8 million and Leisure of $0.2 million as machine assets unwind.

Net operating income / Net income / (Loss)

 

During the three and nine-month period ended September 30,2024, net operating income was $11.9 million and $19.9 million, respectively, representing declines of $0.4 million and $11.1 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, the decrease was primarily driven by the increase in SG&A and depreciation and amortization, partially offset by increase in gross margin and reduction in stock-based compensation. For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the decrease was primarily driven by the increase in SG&A and expenses partially offset by the increase in gross margin and reduction in stock-based compensation.

 

For the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, net income / (loss) was $3.4 million and $(0.3)   million, respectively, compared to net income of $3.4 million and $7.6 million, respectively, in the prior year periods.

 

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024, the increase was primarily driven by the decrease in income   tax expense, partially offset by the decrease in net operating income and increase in interest expense.   

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024, the decrease was primarily driven by the decrease in net operating income, partially offset by decreases in interest expense and income tax expense.

 

Deferred Tax

 

The Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both September 30, 2024 and 2023. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. However, given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that within the next six months, sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.   

 

Segment Results (for the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three and nine-months ended September 30, 2023)

 

Gaming

 

We generate revenue from our Gaming segment through delivery of our gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming software, server-based content, as well as services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software upgrades and upgrades on a when and if available basis and content development. We receive rental fees for machines, typically in conjunction with long-term contracts, on both a participation and fixed fee basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and any relevant regulatory levies) from gaming terminals placed in our customers’ facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.

 

Revenue growth for our Gaming business is principally driven by changes in (i) the number of operator customers we have, (ii) the number of Gaming machines in operation, (iii) the net win performance of the machines and (iv) the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

(1) Includes all SBG terminals in which the Company takes a participation revenue share across all territories.
   
(2) Includes circa 2,500 of lottery terminals where the share is on handle instead of net win.

 

In the table above:

 

“End of Period Installed Base” is equal to the number of deployed Gaming terminals at the end of each period that have been placed on a participation or fixed rental basis. Gaming participation revenue, which comprises the majority of Gaming Service revenue, is directly related to the participation terminal installed base. This is the medium by which our customers generate revenue and distribute a revenue share to the Company. To the extent all other KPIs and certain other factors remain constant, the larger the installed base, the higher the Company’s revenue would be for a given period. Management gives careful consideration to this KPI in terms of driving growth across the segment. This does not include Service Only terminals.

 

21

 

 

Revenue is derived from the performance of the installed base as described by the Gross and Net Win KPIs.

 

If the End of Period Installed Base is materially different from the Average Installed Base (described below), we believe this gives an indication as to potential future performance. We believe the End of Period Installed Base is particularly useful for assessing new customers or markets, to indicate the progress being made with respect to entering new territories or jurisdictions.

 

“Total Gaming - Average Installed Base” is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals during the period consisting of both participation terminals and fixed rental terminals. Therefore, it is more closely aligned to revenue in the period. We believe this measure is particularly useful for assessing existing customers or markets to provide comparisons of historical size and performance. This does not include Service Only terminals.

 

“Participation - Average Installed Base” is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals that generated revenue on a participation basis.

 

“Fixed Rental - Average Installed Base” is the average number of deployed Gaming terminals that generated revenue on a fixed rental basis.

 

“Service Only - Average Installed Base” is the average number of terminals that generated revenue on a service only basis.

 

“Customer Gross Win per unit per day” is a KPI used by our management to (i) assess impact on the Company’s revenue, (ii) determine changes in the performance of the overall market and (iii) evaluate the impacts of regulatory change and our new content releases on our customers. Customer Gross Win per unit per day is the average per unit cash generated across all Gaming terminals in which the Company takes a participation revenue share across all territories in the period, defined as the difference between the amounts staked less winnings to players divided by the Average Installed Base in the period, then divided by the number of days in the period.

 

Gaming revenue accrued in the period is derived from Customer Gross Win accrued in the period after deducting gaming taxes (defined as a regulatory levy paid by the Customer to government bodies) and applying the Company’s contractual revenue share percentage.

 

Our management believes Customer Gross Win measures are meaningful because they represent a view of customer operating performance that is unaffected by our revenue share percentage and allow management to (1) readily view operating trends, (2) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking between customers and (3) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different markets in which we operate.

 

“Customer Net Win per unit per day” is Customer Gross Win per unit per day after giving effect to the deduction of gaming taxes.

 

“Inspired Blended Participation Rate” is the Company’s average revenue share percentage across all participation terminals where revenue is earned on a participation basis, weighted by Customer Net Win per unit per day.

 

“Inspired Fixed Rental Revenue per Gaming Machine per week” is the Company’s average fixed rental amount across all fixed rental terminals where revenue is generated on a fixed fee basis, per unit per week.

 

“Inspired Service Rental Revenue per Gaming Machine per week” is the Company’s average service rental amount across all service only rental terminals where revenue is generated on a service only fixed fee basis, per unit per week.

 

“Gaming Long term license amortization” is the upfront license fee per terminal which is typically spread over the life of the terminal.

 

22

 

 

Our overall Gaming revenue from terminals placed on a participation basis can therefore be calculated as the product of the Participation - Average Installed Base, the Customer Net Win per unit per day, the number of days in the period, and the Inspired Blended Participation Rate, which is equal to “Participation Revenue”.

 

“Number of Machine sales” is the number of terminals sold during the period.

 

“Average selling price per terminal” is the total revenue in GBP of the Gaming terminals sold divided by the “number of Machine sales”.

All variances discussed in the Gaming results below are on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, which excludes the impact of any changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Gaming Revenue

 

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, Gaming revenue decreased by $22.4 million and $30.6 million, respectively. This was driven by decreases in Product revenue of $22.8 million and $26.5 million, respectively. Gaming service revenue increased by $0.4 million and decreased by $4.1 million, respectively.

 

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 the increase in Gaming Service revenue was driven by higher revenue from North America of $0.7 million due to increased game pack subscriptions and UK LBO of $0.5 million as the current year period included a customer bonus not included in the prior year period.

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 the decrease in Gaming Service revenue was driven by decreases of $2.1 million in the UK market inclusive of shop closures in UK LBO and $ 1.1 million in the Greek market, primarily due to the reduction in Gross Win per day and expiry of historical amortized license revenues.

 

For the three-month period ended September 30, 2024 the decrease in Gaming Product revenue was primarily driven by lower UK Product sales of $22.8 million, of which $22.7 million were Low Margin sales.

 

For the nine-month period ended September 30, 2024 the decrease in Gaming Product revenue was primarily driven by lower UK Product sales of $26.5 million, of which $27.1 million were Low Margin sales.

 

25

 

 

Gaming Operating Income

 

Net income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 increased by $1.6 million and decreased by $0.8 million respectively.

 

The three-month ended September 30, 2024 increase was primarily due to higher gross margin (as the $22.4 million revenue decrease was offset by a $24.9 million decrease in total cost of sales mainly driven by the decrease in Low Margin sales in the current period).

 

The decrease during the nine-months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation and amortization of $1.8 million    due to unwind of machine assets and stock-based compensation of $0.6 million, offset by an increase in SG&A costs of $3.5 million driven by increased staff cost, reduced overhead recoveries along with the cost of group restructuring not incurred in the prior year period.

 

Virtual Sports

 

We generate revenue from our Virtual Sports segment through the on-premise solution and hosting of our products. We primarily receive fees on a participation basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and other promotional costs and any relevant regulatory levies) from Virtual Sports content placed on our customers’ websites or in our customers’ facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.

 

Revenue growth for our Virtual Sports segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the net win performance of the games and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

All variances discussed in the Virtual Sports results below are on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, which excludes the impact of any changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Virtual Sports revenue

 

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 revenue decreased by $2.5 million and $8.9 million, or 19% and 21%, respectively. These decreases were driven by $2.2 million and $8.7 million declines in Online Virtuals, respectively, primarily driven by a major customer optimizing their customer base.  

 

Virtual Sports operating income

 

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 net operating income decreased by $3.4 million and $11.2 million, respectively. These decreases were driven by the declines in revenue and increases in depreciation and amortization of $0.5 million and $ 2.2 million, respectively.

 

Interactive

 

We generate revenue from our Interactive segment through the various games and content made available via third party aggregation platforms with Inspired’s remote gaming server or directly on the Customers remote gaming server platform, and services such as customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades. Typically, we receive fees on a participation basis. Our participation contracts are usually structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and other promotional costs and any relevant regulatory levies) from Interactive content placed on our customers’ websites. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.

 

Revenue growth for our Interactive segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the number of live games, the net win performance of the games and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

Interactive revenue

 

During the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024, revenue increased by $2.7 million and $7.2 million, or 37% and 36%, respectively, primarily driven by revenue growth in the UK, North America and mainland Europe due to new customer launches, the consistent launch of new content across the estate and increased promotional activity through exclusive deals with tier-one customers.

 

Interactive operating income

 

Operating income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 increased by $1.7 million and $4.3 million, respectively. This increase was primarily driven by the increase in gross margin, partially offset by increases in SG&A expenses, driven by increased IT costs, lower labor capitalization and higher depreciation and amortization.

Leisure

 

We typically generate revenue from our Leisure segment through the supply of our gaming and amusement machines. We receive rental fees for machines, typically on a long-term contract basis, on both a participation and fixed fee basis. Our participation contracts are usually structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays, any relevant regulatory levies and minimum fixed incomes where applicable) from machines placed in our customers’ facilities. We generally recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.

 

Revenue growth for our Leisure segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the number of machines in operation, the net win performance of the machines and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

Leisure Revenue

 

For the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 revenue increased by $0.7 million and $2.2 million or 2% and 3%, respectively. These increases were primarily due to increased service revenue of $ 0.6 million and $2.0 million, respectively, predominately due to the increase in Holiday Parks of $0.2 million and $1.3 million driven by the addition of a new site as well as growth in existing sites, along with growth in MSA of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

 

Leisure Operating Income

 

Operating income for the three and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2024 increased by $1.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. This was primarily due to the increases in gross margin, partially offset by increases in SG&A expenses of $0.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively, driven by the increase in seasonal staff, the increase in national living wage and salary increases, along with increases in facility costs.

 

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

 

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We use these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our industry to measure performance. For these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to standard U.S. GAAP financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for defining and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, even if they have similar labels. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial measures.

 

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

 

EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.

 

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments (see Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation table). Such additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension schemes. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including but not limited to (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, impairments, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business.

 

We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities). Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.

 

33

 

 

Adjusted Revenue (Revenue Excluding Low Margin Gaming Hardware Sales) is defined as revenue excluding Gaming hardware sales that are sold at Low Margin with the intention of securing longer term recurring revenue streams.

 

Functional Currency at Constant rate. Currency impacts discussed have been calculated as the current-period average GBP: USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.

 

Currency Movement represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis.

 

Reconciliations from net loss, as shown in our Consolidates Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), to Adjusted EBITDA are shown below:

(1) “Pension charges” are profit and loss charges included within selling, general and administrative expenses, relating to a defined benefit scheme which was closed to new entrants in 1999 and to future accrual in 2010. As well as the amortization of net loss, the figure also includes charges relating to the Pension Protection Fund (which were historically borne by the pension scheme) and a small amount of associated professional services expenses. These costs are included within Corporate Functions.
   
(2) “Costs of Group Restructure” includes redundancy costs, Payments In Lieu of Notice costs and any associated employer taxes. To qualify as being an adjusting item, costs must be part of a large restructuring project, which will net save ongoing future costs or be in relation to the exit of an Executive.
   
(3) “Costs of group Restatement” includes accounting advice associated with the restatement of the 2020, 2021 and 2022 annual accounts and the 2023 Q1 and Q2 interim accounts. To qualify as being an adjusting item, costs must be specific to the event and be neither normal nor recurring in nature.
   
(4) Stock-based compensation expense, Depreciation and amortization, Total other expense, net and Income tax are described above in the Results of Operations line item discussions. Total expense, net includes interest income, interest expense, change in fair value of earnout liability, change in fair value of derivative liability and other finance income.
   
(5) Exchange rate in the table is calculated by dividing the USD Adjusted EBITDA by the GBP Adjusted EBITDA, therefore this could be slightly different from the average rate during the period depending on timing of transactions.

 

(6) “Profit on disposal of trade & assets” — In January 2022, the Company sold its Italian VLT business, including all terminals and other assets, staff costs and facilities and contracts to a non-connected party, recognizing a profit on this disposal.

Reconciliation to Adjusted Revenue

 

We believe that accounting for low margin hardware sales in conformance with U.S. GAAP can result in a distorted presentation of our revenue and growth. Therefore, we use Revenue Excluding Low Margin Sales, or Adjusted Revenue, to internally analyze our operating performance. A reconciliation from revenue, as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss included elsewhere in this report, to Adjusted Revenue is shown below.

Net cash provided by operating activities

 

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash inflow provided by operating activities was $24.8 million, compared to a $43.0 million inflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, representing a $18.2 million decrease in cash generation from operating activities. The decrease was driven primarily due to trading levels and working capital timing.

 

Change in fair value of derivative liabilities and stock-based compensation expense decreased by $4.1 million to $5.7 million due to a $3.6 million reduction in the stock-based compensation expense and a $0.5 million reduction in the recycling of the terminated currency swaps which ended on September 30, 2023.

 

Depreciation and amortization increased by $2.5 million, to $35.1 million, with increases of $1.4 million for intangible assets and $1.1 million for contract costs.

 

Other net cash utilized by operating activities increased by $8.4 million, to a $16.4 million outflow. The relative movements between the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted in adverse movements in accounts payable and accruals of $12.5 million and accounts receivable of $16.1 million, both figures impacted by timing of deals and the relative levels of manufacturing activity. These were partly offset by favorable movements in inventory $11.7 million, payroll and business taxes $5.5 million and prepayments $2.0 million.

Net cash used in investing activities

 

Net cash utilized in investing activities decreased by $9.9 million, to $29.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This was driven by an $8.4 million decrease in plant, property and equipment, a $1.9 million decrease in capitalized software spend and a $0.9 million increase in contract cost additions. The prior period also included the acquisition of Lot.to for $0.6 million.

 

Net cash used by financing activities

 

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, net cash used by financing activities was $0.4 million relating to finance lease spend. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash utilized by financing activities was $2.6 million, with $1.0 million of finance lease spend and $1.6 million on share repurchases.

 

Funding Needs and Sources

 

To fund our obligations, we have historically relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of additional debt or the refinancing of existing debt. As of September 30, 2024, we had liquidity consisting of $36.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and a further $6.7 million of undrawn revolver facility. This compares to $26.4 million of cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2023, with a further $24.4 million of revolver facilities undrawn. We had a working capital outflow of $16.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, compared to an $8.0 million outflow for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

 

The level of our working capital surplus or deficit varies with the level of machine production and procurement we are undertaking and our capitalization as well as the seasonality evident in some of the businesses. In periods with minimal machine volumes and capital spend, our working capital is typically more stable. In periods where significant numbers of machines are being produced or procured, the levels of inventory and creditors are typically higher and there is a natural timing difference between converting the stock into sellable or capitalized plant and settling payments to suppliers. These factors, along with movements in trading activity levels can result in significant working capital volatility. In periods of low activity, our working capital volatility is reduced. Working capital is reviewed and managed with the aim of ensuring that current liabilities are covered by the level of cash held and the expected level of short-term receipts.

 

Some of our business operations require cash to be held within the machines. As of September 30, 2024, $6.7 million of our $36.5 million of cash and cash equivalents were held as operational floats within the machines. At September 30, 2023, $6.0 million of our $26.4 million of cash and cash equivalents were held as operational floats within the machines

 

Management currently believes that the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and the ability to control and defer capital projects will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through November 2025.

Debt Covenants

 

Under our debt facilities in place as of September 30, 2024, we are not subject to covenant testing on the Senior Secured Notes. We are, however, subject to covenant testing at the level of Inspired Entertainment Inc., the ultimate holding company, on our Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility which requires the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.0x on March 31, 2022, stepping down to 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Financial Covenant does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. Covenant testing at September 30, 2024 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.1x.

 

The Indenture contains covenants and certain reporting requirements including the requirement to provide the Lender, within 60 days after the close of the quarter, unaudited quarterly financial statements with footnote disclosures. The Company was unable to comply with this requirement as of September 30, 2023 due to the requirement to restate previously reported financial statements as reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 8, 2023. The debt agreement allows the Company a 30-day grace period to provide such financial information once they receive any notice of non-compliance. No such notice was received and concurrent with the filing of the September 30,2023 10Q with the SEC on February 27, 2024, the reporting requirement was met. There were no other breaches of the debt covenants in the periods.

 

There were no other breaches of the debt covenants in the periods ended September 30, 2024 or September 30, 2023.

Liens and Encumbrances

 

As of September 30, 2024, our senior bank debt was secured by the imposition of a fixed and floating charge in favor of the lender over all the assets of the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

 

Share Repurchases

 

The Board of Directors has authorized that the Company may use up to $25.0 million to repurchase Inspired shares of common stock, subject to repurchases being effected on or before May 10, 2025. Management has discretion as to whether to repurchase shares of the Company. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 no shares were repurchased meaning the previous figure of an aggregate total spend of $12.0 million in repurchasing our shares of common stock remains unchanged.

Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates

 

The preparation of our audited consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenue and expenses, and our disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on a variety of factors, including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry and current and expected economic conditions, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary. While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.

 

38

 

 

Revenue

 

Application of GAAP related to the measurement and recognition of revenue requires us to make judgments and estimates. Specifically, complex arrangements with nonstandard terms and conditions may require significant contract interpretation to determine the appropriate accounting. The Company often enters into contracts with customers that consist of a combination of services and products that are accounted for as one or more distinct performance obligations. Management applies judgment in evaluating the contractual terms and conditions that impact the identification of performance obligations and the pattern of revenue recognition. For these arrangements that contain multiple promises, judgement is also required to determine the stand-alone selling price (“SSP”) for each distinct performance obligation. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when we do not sell the product or service separately, we determine the SSP using information that may include market conditions, size of the customer, geography and other observable inputs or, as necessary, unobservable considerations such as historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry and our current or expected selling practices.

 

Revenue recognition is also impacted by our ability to estimate variable consideration, including, for example, rebates, service-level penalties, and other incentive payments. We consider various factors when making these judgments, including a review of specific transactions, historical experience and market and economic conditions. Evaluations are conducted each quarter to assess the adequacy of the estimates.

 

Other significant judgments include determining whether the Company is acting as the principal or the agent in a transaction.

 

The Company recognized service and product revenue of $196.7 million and $20.0 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company’s revenue recognition policy, which requires significant judgments and estimates, is fully described in Note 1 “Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part II, Item 8 of this report.

 

Goodwill Impairment Assessment

 

In accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, we allocate goodwill to reporting units based on the reporting unit expected to benefit from the business combination. We evaluate our reporting units on at least an annual basis and, if necessary, reassign goodwill upon reorganization using a relative fair value allocation approach. We determined that we have five reporting units: Virtual Sports, Interactive, Leisure, and two reporting units within our Gaming segment. As of September 30, 2024, total goodwill with the Virtual Sports, Interactive, and two Gaming reporting units is $47.1 million, $1.9 million, $9.8 million, and $3.1 million, respectively. There is no remaining goodwill within the Leisure reporting unit. Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level (operating segment or one level below an operating segment) annually on the last day of our fiscal period or between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. These events or circumstances could include a significant change in the business climate, legal factors, operating performance indicators, competition, or sale or disposition of a significant portion of a reporting unit.

 

Goodwill is reviewed for impairment using either a qualitative assessment or a quantitative one-step process. If we perform a qualitative assessment and determine that the fair value of a reporting unit more likely than not exceeds the carrying value, no further evaluation is necessary. For reporting units where we perform the quantitative test, we are required to compare the fair value of each reporting unit, which we primarily determine using an income approach based on the present value of discounted cash flows, to the respective carrying value, which includes goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying value is higher than the fair value, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the reporting unit’s estimated fair value.

 

39

 

 

Application of the goodwill impairment test requires judgment, including the identification of reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each reporting unit. Performance of the qualitative goodwill assessment requires judgment in identifying and considering the significance of relevant key factors, events and circumstances that affect the fair value or carrying amount of the reporting units. Such events and circumstances that we have considered include macroeconomic conditions, industry specific and market considerations, and reporting unit-specific factors such as overall actual and projected financial performance, among other factors. We also considered the results from the most recent date that a fair value measurement was performed as a part of a quantitative goodwill assessment and specifically the cushion between each reporting unit’s fair value and carrying value. The estimates used to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit as a part of a quantitative goodwill assessment change from year to year based on operating results, market conditions, and other factors. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the determination of fair value and goodwill impairment, if any, for each reporting unit.

 

We performed our annual goodwill impairment test as of December 31, 2023 using a qualitative assessment for all of our reporting units. Based on the results of our qualitative impairment assessments, we concluded that it is more likely than not that the fair values of each of our reporting units substantially exceeded their respective carrying values and there were no reporting units requiring further assessment.

 

Long-lived Assets and Finite-lived Intangible Assets

 

We evaluate the recoverability of intangible assets and other long-lived assets with finite useful lives by comparing the carrying value of the asset group to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows that we expect the asset to generate if events or changes in circumstances indicate that these assets are not recoverable. If the asset group fails the recoverability test, an impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset group exceeds its fair value. The fair value is determined using a discounted cash flow approach where projections of future cash flows generated by those assets are discounted using an estimated discount rate. Significant judgment is required to estimate the amount and timing of future cash flows and the relative risk of achieving those cash flows. We also make judgments about the remaining useful lives of intangible assets and other long-lived assets that have finite lives. While we believe our estimates of future operating results and projected cash flows are reasonable, any significant adverse changes in key assumptions (i.e., adverse change in the extent or manner in which an asset or asset group is being used or expectation that, more likely than not, an asset or asset group will be sold or otherwise disposed of before the end of its useful life) or adverse changes in economic and market conditions may cause a change in our evaluation of recoverability or our estimation of fair value and could result in an impairment charge that could be material to our financial statements. Any impairment loss shall be allocated to the long-lived assets of the group on a pro rata basis using the relative carrying amounts of those assets, except that the loss allocated to an individual long-lived asset of the group shall not reduce the carrying amount of that asset below its fair value.

 

Management determined that there were no new indicators of impairment for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 and the Company concluded that there was no impairment of the Company’s intangible and long-lived assets as of September 30, 2024 and 2023.

 

Software Development Costs

 

Software development costs represent costs incurred to develop internal-use software, including software developed to deliver our cloud-based offerings to customers, as well as external-use software to be used in the products we sell, lease or license to customers. Such costs primarily consist of salaries and payroll related costs for employees and external contractors directly involved in the corresponding software development efforts. We determine the appropriate guidance to apply to software development costs on a project-by-project basis, based on the nature of the underlying software.

 

40

 

 

Certain direct costs incurred to develop new internal-use software, as well as certain software enhancements that provide new functionality, are capitalized once the project has been approved by management and is in the application development stage.

 

Costs incurred in the preliminary planning stage and the post implementation operational stage are expensed as incurred. Costs incurred in developing external-use software are expensed as incurred until technological feasibility has been established, after which costs are capitalized up to the date the software is available for general release to customers. Technological feasibility is established upon completion of a detailed program design or, in its absence, upon completion of a working model.

 

The Company must apply judgement in determining the amount of software development costs that should be capitalized. Specifically, we must evaluate, on a project-by-project basis, whether the resultant product or platform will be completed and generate ongoing economic benefits, principally through revenue from our customers, which is subject to uncertainties.

 

Once the software is substantially complete or available for general release, capitalized internal-use and external-use software costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic useful life of the software, which ranges from two to five years. There is judgement involved in estimating the useful life of developed software and the two-to-five-year period was determined based on factors such as the continuous development in the technology, obsolescence, and anticipated life of the service offering before significant upgrades. Management evaluates the useful lives of these assets on a recurring basis and tests for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances occur that could impact the recoverability of these assets.

 

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK 

 

Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

Following the Company’s refinancing of its debt in May 2021, the external borrowings of £235.0 million ($315.2 million) are provided at a fixed rate. Therefore, movements in rates such as LIBOR do not impact on the current borrowings and the only fluctuation that is expected to be reported will be that solely caused by movements in the exchange rates between the Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency.

 

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

 

Our operations are conducted in various countries around the world, and we receive revenue and pay expenses from these operations in a number of different currencies. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in (i) currencies other than GBP, which is our functional currency, or (ii) the functional currencies of our subsidiaries, which is not necessarily GBP. To estimate our foreign currency exchange rate risk, we identify material Euro and US Dollar trading and balance sheet amounts and recalculate the result using a 10% movement in the GBP:US Dollar exchange rate. For the trading figures the 10% movement is based on the average exchange rate throughout the reported period and for the balance sheet figures the 10% movement is based on the exchange rate used at September 30, 2024.

 

Excluding intercompany balances, our Euro and US Dollar functional currency net assets total approximately $25.7 million and $13.0 million respectively. We use a sensitivity analysis model to measure the impact of a 10% adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates against the US Dollar. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Euro and the US Dollar relative to GBP as of September 30, 2024, would result in favorable translation adjustments of approximately $2.3 million and $1.3 million respectively, recorded in other comprehensive loss.

 

Included within our trading results are earnings outside of our functional currency. Retained gains from Euro based entities earned in Euros and retained losses from USD based entities earned in US Dollars in the nine months ended September 30, 2024, were €9.6 million and $14.4 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Euro and the US Dollar relative to GBP as of September 30, 2024, would result in translation adjustments of approximately $0.9 million favorable and $1.3 million unfavorable, respectively, recorded in trading operations.

 

41

 

 

The majority of the Company’s trading is in GBP, the functional currency, although the reporting currency of the Company is the US Dollar. As such, changes in the GBP:USD exchange rate have an effect on the Company’s results. A 10% weakening of GBP against the US Dollar would change the trading operational results unfavorably by approximately $0.3 million and would result in unfavorable translation adjustments of approximately $11.9 million, recorded in other comprehensive loss.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

 

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

 

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024, due to the material weaknesses described in Item 9A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024. Management is redesigning and implementing existing and additional controls to remediate these material weaknesses.

 

Notwithstanding the identified material weaknesses and management’s assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2024, management believes that the interim consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

Other than the control changes to remediate the identified material weaknesses, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

 

There are no new legal proceedings, or new updates to prior disclosures to report.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

 

Our business is subject to a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects, and cause the value of our common stock to decline, which could cause investors in our common stock to lose all or part of their investments.

1. Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Company Description and Nature of Operations

 

We are a global gaming technology company, supplying content, platform, gaming terminals and other products and services to online and land-based regulated lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, predominantly on a business-to-business basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions (i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through third party networks. Our content and other products can be found through the consumer-facing portals of our interactive customers and, through our land-based customers, in licensed betting offices, adult gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls, airports, motorway service areas and leisure parks.

 

Management Liquidity Plans

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand, excluding restricted cash, was $35.7 million, and the Company had working capital in addition to unrestricted cash of $20.4 million. The Company recorded a net loss of $0.3 million and net income of $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Net (loss) income includes non-cash stock-based compensation of $5.7 million and $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Historically, the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows provided by operations amounted to $24.8 million and $43.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Management currently believes that the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through November 2025.

 

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The financial information as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024. The financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim or annual periods.

Revenue recognized that was included in the deferred income balance at the beginning of the periods amounted to $2.1 million and $3.9 million, as restated, for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

For the periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, there was no significant amounts of revenue recognized as a result of changes in contract transaction price related to performance obligations that were satisfied in the respective prior periods.

 

Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations

 

At September 30, 2024, the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts expected to be greater than one year, or performance obligations for which we do not have a right to consideration from the customer in the amount that corresponds to the value to the customer for our performance completed to date, variable consideration which is not accounted for in accordance with the sales-based or usage-based royalties guidance, or contracts which are not wholly unperformed, was approximately $96.2 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize as revenue approximately 12% through December 31, 2024, approximately 60% through December 31, 2026, and the remaining 28% through December 31, 2030.

7. Long term Debt

 

Senior Secured Notes

 

Long-term debt consists of £235.0 million ($315.2 million) of Senior Secured Notes and $2.8 million of capitalized debt fees which are being amortized over the length of the Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 7.875% and are fully repayable on June 1, 2026.  

 

Under our debt facilities in place as of September 30, 2024, we were not subject to covenant testing on our senior secured notes (the “Senior Secured Notes”). We are, however, subject to covenant testing at the level of Inspired Entertainment Inc., the ultimate holding company, on our Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “RCF Agreement”) which required the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.0x on March 31, 2022, stepping down to 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Financial Covenant does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. Covenant testing at September 30, 2024 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.1x.

 

There were no covenant violations in the period ended September 30, 2024.

 

The Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains covenants and certain reporting requirements including the requirement to provide the lender, within 60 days after the close of the quarter, unaudited quarterly financial statements with footnote disclosures. In the period ended September 30, 2023, the Company was unable to comply with this requirement due to the requirement to restate previously reported financial statements as reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on November 8, 2023. The debt agreement allows the Company a 30-day grace period to provide such financial information once they receive any notice of non-compliance. No such notice was received. Concurrent with the filing of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 with the SEC on February 27, 2024, the reporting requirement was met.

Vested   (110,647)
Unvested Outstanding at September 30, 2024   1,566,994 

 

(1)

The amount shown as “unvested outstanding at January 1, 2024” does not include certain tranches of Adjusted EBITDA RSUs that have performance criteria for annual periods later than 2023 (an aggregate of 312,500 RSUs, including 62,500 subject to 2024 criteria), which were part of sign-on tranches approved for our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer during the years 2021 and 2023, as the applicable performance targets were not set by January 1, 2024 (and, accordingly, the accounting grant dates had not yet occurred for the tranches). Such tranches had previously been included in the amounts shown in 2023 as unvested outstanding since the initial approval date for the tranches.

 

(2) The amount shown as “granted” includes 245,694 performance-based target RSUs for 2024 as to which the number that ultimately vests would range from 0% to 200% of the target amount of RSUs (a maximum of 491,388 RSUs based on attainment of Adjusted EBITDA targets for 2024). The amount shown also includes a tranche of 62,500 Adjusted EBITDA RSUs (subject to performance criteria for 2024) which can be earned at up to 100% of the target amount of RSUs; such tranche was part of a sign-on award of multiple tranches approved in 2021 for our Executive Chairman with respect to which the accounting grant date for the 2024 tranche did not occur until the targets were set in February 2024.

 

The Company issued a total of 355,783 shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, in connection with the Company’s equity-based plans, which included an aggregate of 333,161 shares issued in connection with the net settlement of RSUs that vested during the prior year (primarily on December 29, 2023).

In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, and the entry into the RCF Agreement, on May 19, 2021, the Company terminated all of its interest rate swaps. Accordingly, hedge accounting is no longer applicable. The amounts previously recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income were amortized into Interest expense over the terms of the hedged forecasted interest payments. Losses reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Income for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 amounted to $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

10. Net Income (Loss) per Share

 

Basic income/loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income/loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and RSUs, unless the inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

 

The computation of diluted EPS excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because they were contingently issuable shares or because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 23.3% and 37.6%, respectively, resulting in a $1.0 million and $2.0 million income tax expense, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was 56.8% and 27.6%, respectively, resulting in a $0.4 million income tax benefit and a $2.8 million income tax expense, respectively.

 

The effective tax rate reported in any given year will continue to be influenced by a variety of factors including the level of pre-tax income or loss, the income mix between jurisdictions, and any discrete items that may occur.

 

The Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023. We intend to continue maintaining a full valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support the reversal of all or some portion of these allowances. However, given our current earnings and anticipated future earnings, we believe that there is a reasonable possibility that sufficient positive evidence may become available to allow us to reach a conclusion that a significant portion of the valuation allowance will no longer be needed. Release of the valuation allowance would result in the recognition of certain deferred tax assets and a decrease to income tax expense for the period the release is recorded. However, the exact timing and amount of the valuation allowance release are subject to change on the basis of the level of profitability that we are able to actually achieve.

Certain of our arrangements include leases for equipment installed at customer locations. As the lessor, we combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in arrangements that involve operating leases. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers based on the consideration that the non-lease components are the predominant items in the arrangements. If a component cannot be combined, the consideration is allocated between the lease component and the non-lease component based on relative standalone selling price. The lease component is accounted for under ASC 842, Leases and the non-lease component is accounted for under ASC 606.

 

Lease income from operating leases is not material for any of the periods presented. Lease income from sales type leases is as follows:

We operate a defined contribution plan in the US, and both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes in the UK. The defined contribution scheme assets are held separately from those of the Company in independently administered funds.

 

Defined Benefit Pension Scheme

 

The defined benefit scheme has been closed to new entrants since April 1, 1999 and closed to future accruals for services rendered to the Company for the entire financial statement periods presented. The latest actuarial valuation of the scheme (as at March 31, 2021), which was finalized in June 2022, determined that the statutory funding objective was not met, i.e., there were insufficient assets to cover the scheme’s technical provisions and there was a funding shortfall.

 

In June 2022, a recovery plan was put in place to eliminate the funding shortfall. The plan expects the shortfall to be eliminated by October 31, 2026.

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

17. Segment Reporting and Geographic Information

 

The Company operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are managed and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated.

 

The following tables present revenue, cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation expense and depreciation and amortization, operating income (loss) and total long-lived asset expenditures for the periods ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively, by business segment. Certain unallocated corporate function costs have not been allocated to the Company’s reportable operating segments because these costs are not allocable and to do so would not be practical. Corporate function costs consist primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization and capital expenditures relating to corporate/shared functions.

Management Liquidity Plans

Management Liquidity Plans

 

As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand, excluding restricted cash, was $35.7 million, and the Company had working capital in addition to unrestricted cash of $20.4 million. The Company recorded a net loss of $0.3 million and net income of $7.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively. Net (loss) income includes non-cash stock-based compensation of $5.7 million and $9.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Historically, the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows provided by operations amounted to $24.8 million and $43.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, respectively.

 

Management currently believes that the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through November 2025.

 

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The financial information as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 filed with the SEC on April 15, 2024. The financial information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 is derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. The interim results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim or annual periods.

Unvested Outstanding at September 30, 2024   1,566,994 

 

(1)

The amount shown as “unvested outstanding at January 1, 2024” does not include certain tranches of Adjusted EBITDA RSUs that have performance criteria for annual periods later than 2023 (an aggregate of 312,500 RSUs, including 62,500 subject to 2024 criteria), which were part of sign-on tranches approved for our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer during the years 2021 and 2023, as the applicable performance targets were not set by January 1, 2024 (and, accordingly, the accounting grant dates had not yet occurred for the tranches). Such tranches had previously been included in the amounts shown in 2023 as unvested outstanding since the initial approval date for the tranches.

 

(2) The amount shown as “granted” includes 245,694 performance-based target RSUs for 2024 as to which the number that ultimately vests would range from 0% to 200% of the target amount of RSUs (a maximum of 491,388 RSUs based on attainment of Adjusted EBITDA targets for 2024). The amount shown also includes a tranche of 62,500 Adjusted EBITDA RSUs (subject to performance criteria for 2024) which can be earned at up to 100% of the target amount of RSUs; such tranche was part of a sign-on award of multiple tranches approved in 2021 for our Executive Chairman with respect to which the accounting grant date for the 2024 tranche did not occur until the targets were set in February 2024.

[1] The amount shown as “unvested outstanding at January 1, 2024” does not include certain tranches of Adjusted EBITDA RSUs that have performance criteria for annual periods later than 2023 (an aggregate of 312,500 RSUs, including 62,500 subject to 2024 criteria), which were part of sign-on tranches approved for our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer during the years 2021 and 2023, as the applicable performance targets were not set by January 1, 2024 (and, accordingly, the accounting grant dates had not yet occurred for the tranches). Such tranches had previously been included in the amounts shown in 2023 as unvested outstanding since the initial approval date for the tranches.
[2] The amount shown as “granted” includes 245,694 performance-based target RSUs for 2024 as to which the number that ultimately vests would range from 0% to 200% of the target amount of RSUs (a maximum of 491,388 RSUs based on attainment of Adjusted EBITDA targets for 2024). The amount shown also includes a tranche of 62,500 Adjusted EBITDA RSUs (subject to performance criteria for 2024) which can be earned at up to 100% of the target amount of RSUs; such tranche was part of a sign-on award of multiple tranches approved in 2021 for our Executive Chairman with respect to which the accounting grant date for the 2024 tranche did not occur until the targets were set in February 2024.
