Michael Rumbolz, President and Chief Executive Officer of Everi, commented, “Our 2017 first quarter financial results, including double-digit year-over-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA growth, reflect the fourth consecutive quarter of successful execution against our strategic operating priorities.  Our Games segment continues to benefit from the introduction of a diverse portfolio of engaging new products, while our Payments segment is extending its market leadership position through continued innovation.  

“The introduction of new products, including games for our popular Core HDX gaming cabinet and continued demand for our three-reel mechanical games has helped drive consistent improvement in unit sales.  While the continued removal of third-party Class III units from the installed base impacted our business in the quarter, we are nearing the end of this challenge. At the same time, we have made notable progress with other components of our installed base including high single-digit year-over-year growth in our installed units outside of Oklahoma and in our total number of installed Class II units. We expect the recent introduction of our first Class II wide-area progressive link, Jackpot Lockdown, the addition of our first video reel licensed game for this link late this quarter, and the debut later this year of new games featuring premium licensed content will benefit both our total number of installed units and our yield as we move into the second half of the year.

“Our Payments segment had a very strong first quarter as we benefited from agreements with several recently opened casinos, our first quarter of ATM services at 29 properties in Canada, strong sales of compliance solutions and another quarter of year-over-year growth in same-store transactions and cash to the floor.  Our fully EMV-compliant solutions have also helped drive more cash to the floor as they result in higher approval rates.  Overall, our ability to offer the industry’s most comprehensive and innovative suite of solutions that enhance casino operators’ ability to provide funds to the floor and operate at peak efficiency has positioned our Payments business to continue to achieve consistent growth.”

Mr. Rumbolz concluded, “Our continuing innovation in our Games and Payments businesses is helping drive consistent improvement and progress in our operating performance.  This innovation combined with the benefits of the recent debt refinancing transaction positions Everi to achieve consistent improvement going forward.”

Completion of Refinancing

In addition, Everi also announced the completion of the previously disclosed debt refinancing transaction of its First Lien Term Loan with an outstanding balance of approximately $462 million that was scheduled to mature in 2020 and its Senior Secured Notes of $335 million that was scheduled to mature in 2021 (collectively, the “Former Facility”). The completed refinancing transaction consists of an $820 million First Lien Term Loan that is scheduled to mature in 2024 and a $35 million Revolving Credit Facility that is scheduled to mature in 2022 (collectively, the “New Facility”).  The $35 million Revolving Credit Facility replaces the Company’s former $50 million Revolving Credit Facility that was scheduled to mature in 2019.

The interest rate per annum for Eurodollar Rate borrowings per the First Lien Term Loan of the New Facility is calculated based upon LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 4.50%.  The applicable margin of the First Lien Term Loan of the New Facility is 75 basis points lower than the 5.25% applicable margin for comparable borrowings under the former First Lien Term Loan while the interest rate for amounts outstanding under the former Senior Secured Notes was a fixed interest rate of 7.25% per annum.

Randy Taylor, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer for Everi, added “Our now completed refinancing transaction extends the maturity on a large portion of our outstanding debt and lowers our overall interest expense.  Based upon current interest rates, we expect the effect of this transaction will lower our annual cash interest expense by approximately $8 million compared to our Former Facility while also enhancing our financial flexibility.  This important refinancing event combined with our expectations for full-year Adjusted EBITDA growth better position Everi to execute on our stated goal of deleveraging.”

2017 First Quarter Games Segment Highlights:

  • Revenues increased approximately 14.7% to $55.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $48.2 million in the first quarter of 2016.
  • Revenues from gaming operations were $36.6 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $39.8 million in the prior-year period primarily reflecting a year-over-year decline in estimated daily win per unit (“DWPU”).  In addition, the extra day from the leap year in the first quarter of 2016 impacted gaming operations revenue by approximately $0.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to the prior-year period.
  • The installed base at March 31, 2017 was 13,022 units, up 65 units year over year despite the cumulative removal of 951 third-party Class III units from the installed base since March 31, 2016.  The 242 unit quarterly sequential decline in the installed base includes the impact of the removal of 301 third-party Class III units from customers in Oklahoma and 83 Class II units from certain California tribal customer locations following their recently amended gaming compacts.   
  • Estimated DWPU was $27.17 during the first quarter of 2017 compared to $29.10 in the prior-year period and reflects in part the impact of the previously noted removals of higher-performing third-party Class III units from the installed base. 
  • Revenues from the New York Lottery business were $4.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $4.5 million in the prior-year period.
  • The Company sold 1,018 new gaming units, resulting in revenues of $18.7 million in the first quarter of 2017.  In the prior-year period, the Company generated revenues of $8.4 million from the sale of 432 new gaming units.

2017 First Quarter Payments Segment Highlights:

  • Revenues increased approximately 15.7% to $182.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $157.6 million in the prior-year period.  The growth was fairly broad-based across the Payments segment and included growth in core cash access revenue as a result of same store sale increases in transactions and dollars processed, new customer wins occurring since the first quarter of 2016 and in early 2017 which include new casino openings and competitive takeouts, and the expansion of ATM services into Canada for the first time at 29 properties.
  • Cash advance revenues increased approximately 18.9% to $70.0 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $58.9 million in the prior-year period.
  • ATM revenues increased approximately 14.6% to $96.4 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $84.1 million in the prior-year period. 
  • Check services revenues increased approximately 3.9% to $5.3 million in the first quarter of 2017 compared to $5.1 million in the prior-year period.
  • Other revenues increased 10.5%, or $1.0 million, year over year to $10.5 million, reflecting higher revenue from Everi compliance. Revenue from kiosk sales and service and other revenue items were generally flat compared to the prior year quarter. 

Updated 2017 Outlook

Everi today updated its forecast for 2017 financial and operational metrics.  Reflecting the slightly better than anticipated performance in the first quarter of 2017, the Company raised the low end of its range for expected 2017 full year Adjusted EBITDA, with the new range now between $205 million and $209 million.  The updated outlook reflects the following key assumptions: 

  • Full year unit sales for the Games segment are expected to increase approximately 12% to 15% from the 2,954 units sold in 2016.  Second quarter unit sales are expected to be greater than the 819 units sold in the second quarter of 2016.   
  • The installed base for the Games segment at December 31, 2017 is expected to grow compared to the installed base at December 31, 2016.  The Company expects the further removal of approximately 230 third-party Class III units in the second quarter of 2017 and that these units will be replaced with Everi’s Class II units.  Following the expected removals in the current quarter, the Company does not expect its remaining third-party Class III units to change materially in 2017.  In addition, the Company believes that potentially up to an additional 200 Class II units may be removed from certain tribal customer facilities due to changes in tribal gaming compacts with the State of California over the remainder of 2017.  The Company’s installed base is expected to benefit from the recent introduction of its first Class II wide-area progressive (“WAP”) product, Jackpot Lockdown™, and from the introduction of two Class II video reel games featuring licensed brands for this WAP link that are expected to be introduced into the installed base beginning late in the second quarter of 2017 as well as new premium licensed brands that will be introduced over the remainder of 2017.
  • The Company’s DWPU will face challenging year over year comparisons in the first half of 2017 as a result of the third-party Class III unit removals in 2016 and the additional removal of the remaining higher performing third-party Class III units in the first half of 2017.  As a result, the Company expects that the comparable DWPU for the first half of 2017 will be below the level generated in the first half of 2016.  In the second half of 2017, the introduction of the new Class II WAP, along with the introduction of new premium licensed brands into the Class II installed base, is expected to drive improvements in DWPU.
  • Quarterly revenue and Adjusted EBITDA for the Company’s Payments segment is expected to grow year over year for the balance of 2017, but not at the accelerated rate achieved in the first quarter of 2017. 
  • Sales of higher margin compliance products are expected to contribute higher revenue in 2017 compared to 2016, which will offset flat to modestly lower kiosk sales.
  • Capital expenditures in 2017 are expected to be between $85 million and $95 million, inclusive of first quarter capital expenditures of $20.2 million.  The success of the Company’s new WAP and licensed premium games could result in capital expenditures at the higher end of this range as the Company accelerates placements of these products.
  • Depreciation expense is expected to be between $44 million and $46 million.
  • Amortization expense is expected to decline significantly from the $94.6 million reported in 2016 to be between $68 million and $71 million.  This reduction is the result of certain intangible assets that were recorded as part of the Company’s purchase price allocation from the merger of Everi and Everi Games Holding Inc. becoming fully amortized in 2016.
  • Interest expense is estimated to be between $94 million and $96 million inclusive of Vault Cash interest expense of between $3 million and $4 million and non-cash amortization of debt issuance costs of approximately $6 million for 2017.
  • The Company expects to record a provision for income tax of between $3 million and $5 million for 2017, which includes cash tax payments of between $2 million and $3 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In order to enhance investor understanding of the underlying trends in our business, our cash balance and cash available for our operating needs, and to provide for better comparability between periods in different years, we are providing in this press release Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, net cash position and net cash available, which are not measures of our financial performance or position under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”). Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, and should be read in conjunction with, our (i) net earnings (loss), operating income (loss), basic or diluted earnings (loss) per share and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and (ii) cash and cash equivalents prepared in accordance with GAAP, with respect to net cash position and net cash available.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, accretion of contract rights and separation costs related to the Company’s former CEO. We present Adjusted EBITDA as we use this measure to manage our business and consider this measure to be supplemental to our operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA; and our New Facility and existing senior unsecured notes require us to comply with a consolidated secured leverage ratio that includes performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. We define Adjusted EBITDA Margin as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenues.

A reconciliation of the Company’s net loss per GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin is included in the Unaudited Reconciliation of Net Loss to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provided at the end of this release. Additionally, a reconciliation of each segment’s operating income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA is also included. On a segment level, operating income (loss) per GAAP, rather than net earnings (loss) per GAAP, is reconciled to Adjusted EBITDA as the Company does not report net earnings (loss) by segment. In addition, Adjusted EBITDA Margin is provided on a segment level. Management believes that this presentation is meaningful to investors in evaluating the performance of the Company’s segments.

We define (i) net cash position as cash and cash equivalents plus settlement receivables less settlement liabilities and (ii) net cash available as net cash position plus undrawn amounts available under our revolving credit facility. We present net cash position because our cash position, as measured by cash and cash equivalents, depends upon changes in settlement receivables and the timing of payments related to settlement liabilities. As such, our cash and cash equivalents can change substantially based upon the timing of our receipt of payments for settlement receivables and payments we make to customers for our settlement liabilities.  We present net cash available as management monitors this amount in connection with its forecasting of cash flows and future cash requirements. 

A reconciliation of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents per GAAP to net cash position and net cash available is included in the Unaudited Reconciliation of Cash and Cash Equivalents to Net Cash Position and Net Cash Available provided at the end of this release.
