EVERI REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2023 RESULTS

11/08/2023

LAS VEGAS, Nov. 8, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Everi Holdings Inc. (NYSE: EVRI) ("Everi" or the "Company"), today announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023 and provided an update on its full year outlook.

  • Revenues increased 1% to $206.6 million from $204.3 million a year ago
    • FinTech segment revenues grew 4% to $95.1 million, reflecting a 12% increase in software and other revenues and a 7% rise in financial access revenues partially offset by a 20% decrease in hardware revenues
    • Games segment revenues declined 1% to $111.5 million, reflecting a 5% rise in gaming operations revenues offset by a 12% decline in gaming equipment and systems sales revenues 
    • Recurring revenues grew 7% to $154.3 million and represented 75% of total revenues; non-recurring revenues declined 14% to $52.3 million reflecting lower gaming unit and FinTech hardware sales
  • Net income decreased to $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the 2022 third quarter, a slight decrease from the prior year period
  • Adjusted EPS, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $0.44 per diluted share flat with the prior-year period
  • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, was $96.2 million compared with $96.6 million in the 2022 third quarter
  • Free Cash Flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, was impacted by discrete capital expenditures of approximately $6.0 million related to the build-out of the new consolidated production facility and certain technology investments as well as higher net cash interest payments of $4.7 million resulting in Free Cash Flow of $34.3 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $44.9 million in the prior-year period
  • Repurchased 2.4 million shares for $33.9 million in the 2023 third quarter, with $106.1 million remaining available under the current $180 million share repurchase authorization.

Randy Taylor, Chief Executive Officer of Everi, said, "We continue to execute on our operational and product roadmap to drive long-term profitable growth in both our Games and Fintech businesses. We are introducing our next generation of for-sale and for-lease cabinets supported by more than 80 new game themes representing the most diverse range of gaming content in the Company's history, including an increased emphasis on the video reel segment. We continue to add to and strengthen our FinTech product and service offerings that provide connectivity and value for our customers.

"Additionally, we are making progress in the integration of our recent acquisitions to establish the foundation for new avenues of growth both in Games, such as for Bingo, Historical Horse Racing ("HHR") and Video Lottery Terminal ("VLT") market categories, and in FinTech where we look to extend our Digital Neighborhood to bring new value to casino operators through our on-premise mobile gaming offering and an enhanced mobile wallet, as well as to expand into non-gaming sports and entertainment venues and other global gaming markets. We remain on track to enter these new markets including the VLT category and the UK mobile gaming market in early 2024 and other new international markets in late 2024 and 2025, which should contribute incremental revenue growth opportunities.

"Our third quarter results reflected the near-term headwinds in our Games segment including the impact from lower unit sales and lower daily win per unit. Despite these challenges, we continue to generate strong Free Cash Flow which totaled $122.1 million for the first nine months of the year. This level of Free Cash Flow has allowed us to aggressively return capital to our shareholders as reflected in our $74 million of share repurchases so far in 2023 and to continually reinvest in our product portfolio. We believe our investment in R&D, our deep pipeline of innovative new cabinets and content, and the positive feedback received for our newest product introductions at this year's G2E position us well to return to growth next year and beyond."

Third  Quarter 2023 Results Overview

Revenues for the three-month period ended September 30, 2023 increased to $206.6 million compared to $204.3 million in the year-ago quarter. Acquisitions completed since July 1, 2022 contributed $8.1 million in the quarter. Recurring revenues increased 7% to $154.3 million from $143.6 million in the prior-year period driven by growth in both the Games and FinTech segments. Revenues from one-time sales declined to $52.3 million from $60.7 million a year ago, driven by a 12% decrease in gaming equipment and systems sales and a 20% decline in FinTech hardware and one-time software sales.

Operating income of $52.4 million declined 4% from $54.6 million in the prior-year period as a result of higher operating expense and depreciation reflecting higher labor costs and costs associated with recent acquisitions.

Higher interest expense and lower operating income, partially offset by a lower tax provision drove a decline in net income to $26.6 million, or $0.29 per diluted share, compared to $29.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in the third quarter of 2022. The 2023 diluted earnings per share also reflects fewer weighted average shares outstanding due to the Company's share repurchases. Adjusted EPS of $0.44 per diluted share in the third quarter 2023 is flat with the prior-year period.

Adjusted EBITDA was $96.2 million in the 2023 third quarter compared to $96.6 million in the prior-year period.

Free Cash Flow was $34.3 million compared with $44.9 million in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting higher discrete capital expenditures related to the build out of the new consolidated production facility and certain technology investments of approximately $6.0 million together with an increase in net cash interest paid of $4.7 million.

Outlook

Everi updated its outlook for 2023 and now expects Adjusted EBITDA for the full year 2023 to be in line with the prior year.  Net income, EPS, Free Cash Flow, and Adjusted EPS are expected to be at the lower-end of the guidance ranges for the full year 2023 provided on August 9, 2023 as a result of lower operating income being offset by lower net interest expense, lower taxes, and lower full year capital expenditures.

2023  Third Quarter Games Segment Highlights

Games segment revenues declined to $111.5 million compared to $112.5 million in the third quarter of 2022, reflecting a 12% decrease in revenues from gaming equipment and systems sales offset by a 5% increase in gaming operations revenues, which include Bingo, digital gaming, and HHR revenues.

Operating income was $21.4 million compared to $25.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, reflecting higher operating expenses primarily due to higher labor costs, as well as increased depreciation and amortization associated with acquisitions.

The premium portion of the installed base remained relatively flat at 48% when compared to the prior period.

2023  Third Quarter Financial Technology Solutions ("FinTech") Segment Highlights

FinTech revenues for the 2023 third quarter increased 4% to $95.1 million compared to $91.8 million in the third quarter of 2022, reflecting a 12% gain in software and other revenues and 7% growth in financial access services partially offset by a 20% decrease in hardware sales, which compared to strong sales in the prior year related to new casino openings and expansions.

Operating income increased 8% to $31.0 million compared to $28.8 million in the prior-year period, reflecting revenue growth from higher margin products and services partially offset by higher operating expenses and research and development expense. Adjusted EBITDA increased to $39.8 million compared to $39.4 million in the 2022 third quarter.

  • Financial access services revenues, which include cashless and cash-dispensing debit and credit card transactions and check services, increased 7% to $57.2 million compared with the 2022 third quarter, reflecting higher same-store financial funding transactions, as well as continued growth from new customer additions. Funds delivered to casino floors increased 9% to another all-time quarterly record of $11.9 billion on a 12% increase in the number of financial transactions and an increase in average transaction size. While still representing less than 5% of funding transactions, cashless transactions (including both digital wallet and the sale of paper gaming vouchers) increased 51% over the 2022 third quarter and 7% on a quarterly sequential basis. The Company's CashClub Wallet technology is currently installed or being deployed across 22 jurisdictions at 45 properties.
  • Software and other revenues, which include Loyalty and RegTech software, product subscriptions, kiosk maintenance services, and other revenues, rose 12% to $24.8 million in the third quarter of 2023 compared to $22.2 million in the third quarter of 2022. Approximately 76% and 69% of software and other revenues were of a recurring nature in the 2023 and 2022 third quarter periods, respectively.
  • Hardware sales revenues decreased to $13.1 million compared to $16.3 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Cash Flow

  • As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $209.4 million of cash and cash equivalents compared with $293.4 million as of December 31, 2022. The Net Cash Position was $38.0 million compared with $89.2 million as of December 31, 2022.
  • Total debt decreased to $986.5 million at September 30, 2023, from $992.5 million as of December 31, 2022, as the Company paid $6.0 million on its secured term loan during the 2023 first quarter.
  • Cash paid for interest, net of interest income, was $23.6 million in the 2023 third quarter compared with $18.8 million in the year-ago period. The increase in net interest paid was primarily due to the impact of rising interest rates. Interest expense also includes the impact of rising rates on third-party commercial cash arrangements associated with certain of the Company's funding of financial access services. These fees were $5.1 million for the 2023 third quarter on a daily average balance of $302.6 million compared to $2.7 million on a daily average balance of $332.1 million for the 2022 third quarter.
  • During the quarter, the Company repurchased 2.4 million shares of its common stock for total consideration of $33.9 million under the current 18-month, $180 million share repurchase authorization. Currently $106.1 million remains available under this authorization.

Non-GAAP Financial Information

To provide for better comparability between periods and a better understanding of underlying trends, this press release includes Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow, Adjusted EPS, 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 measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. These measures should be read in conjunction with our net earnings, operating income, and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. With respect to Net Cash Position and Net Cash Available, these measures should be read in conjunction with cash and cash equivalents prepared in accordance with GAAP.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock compensation expense, accretion of contract rights, non-recurring litigation costs net of settlements and insurance proceeds received, facilities consolidation costs, asset acquisition expense, non-recurring professional fees, debt amendment costs and other one-time charges and benefits. 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 credit facility and senior unsecured notes require us to comply with a consolidated secured leverage ratio that includes performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA.

We define Free Cash Flow as Adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for interest net of cash received for interest income, cash paid for capital expenditures, cash paid for placement fees, and cash paid for taxes net of refunds. We present Free Cash Flow as a measure of performance. It should not be inferred that the entire Free Cash Flow amount is available for discretionary expenditures.

A reconciliation of the Company's net income per GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow is included in the Unaudited Reconciliation of Selected Financial GAAP to Non-GAAP Measures provided at the end of this release. Additionally, a reconciliation of each segment's operating income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA is also included. On a segment level, operating income per GAAP, rather than net earnings per GAAP, is reconciled to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as the Company does not report net earnings by segment. Management believes that this presentation is meaningful to investors in evaluating the performance of the Company's segments.

We define Adjusted EPS as earnings per diluted share before non-cash stock compensation expense, accretion of contract rights, amortization of acquired intangible assets, non-recurring litigation costs net of settlements and insurance proceeds received, facilities consolidation costs, asset acquisition expense, non-recurring professional fees, and one-time charges and benefits. We consider Adjusted EPS as a supplemental measure to our operating performance and believe it provides investors with another indicator of our operating performance. A reconciliation of the Company's earnings per diluted share per GAAP to Adjusted EPS is included in the Unaudited Reconciliation of Earnings per Diluted Share to Adjusted EPS provided at the end of this release.

We define Net Cash Position as cash and cash equivalents plus settlement receivables less settlement liabilities and 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.
