LAS VEGAS, July 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Scientific Games Corporation (NASDAQ: SGMS) ("Scientific Games," "SGC" or the "Company") today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2020. The Company's second quarter results were adversely impacted by the COVID-19 disruptions during the quarter, affecting comparability to the prior year period.

Second Quarter 2020 Financial Highlights:

Second quarter revenue was $539 million. The Company's Gaming and Lottery revenue was negatively impacted by the COVID-19 disruptions that resulted in temporary closures of casino operations globally and a lower level of lottery ticket sales. Our SciPlay and Digital businesses grew in the quarter, showcasing the power of our diverse portfolio.
Net loss was $198 million compared to $75 million in the prior year period, due to lower revenue and the effects of COVID-19.
Consolidated AEBITDA a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $121 million largely driven by COVID-19 disruptions, which affect prior year comparability. In addition, the results were impacted by a $33 million Gaming segment charge related to receivables credit allowances and charges for inventory valuation. Digital and SciPlay saw nearly 70 and 80 percent AEBITDA growth, respectively, driven by new launches and the continued "stay at home" environment.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $52 million compared to $95 million in the year ago period.
Second quarter consolidated net cash outflow, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $16 million, which was better than prior expectations of approximately $70 million - $90 million. The upside relative to our prior expectations was driven by better than expected collections and better business performance in certain segments.
Available liquidity, including SciPlay, at quarter-end was $943 million. In July, as a result of successfully completing a private offering of our 2025 Notes (as defined below) and the redemption of the outstanding 2021 Notes (as defined below), total liquidity increased by approximately $200 million subsequent to quarter-end.

Barry Cottle, President and Chief Executive Officer of Scientific Games, said, "I am very proud of how we are navigating the current environment, as evidenced by our strong cost containment and cash management, which allowed us to deliver better than expected cash flow for the quarter. This is a testament to our team's ability to effectively manage our business in the short term and maintain our strong customer relationships so we are set up for success as the economy begins to reopen. The diversity of our businesses and our position on the forefront of digital gaming were critical to allow us to successfully navigate the worst of this environment. We have the right team coupled with the best products across both land-based and mobile gaming to position us for future growth."

"Streamlining our cost structure and focusing on operating efficiencies to drive free cash flow generation and de-lever our balance sheet is our top priority, said, Michael Eklund, Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer. While I have only been here a short time I see tremendous opportunity in all facets of our business to drive future growth and free cash flows that will benefit our team members and stakeholders. We are very pleased with how we have navigated the challenging current environment in the second quarter and are confident we have ample liquidity and the right road map to emerge from this crisis as a stronger and more efficient company."

Key Highlights

SciPlay AEBITDA increased by 80% from the prior year to $60 million primarily driven by revenue growth of 41%. The growth was driven by increased game health driven by recently implemented game updates and features to maximize player engagement and the "stay at home" dynamic related to COVID-19.
Digital AEBITDA increased nearly 70% from the prior year to $20 million. Domestic iGaming revenue grew 135% from the prior year period driven by strong growth in New Jersey and the rollout of the Pennsylvania market. We delivered 4 key launches over a 4 week period in June demonstrating our notably improved speed to market.
Gaming revenues decreased as COVID-19 disruptions resulted in temporary closures of casino operations in various jurisdictions globally. As of July 23, 85% of domestic casinos have reopened.
Gaming operations coin-in for turned on units is trending up double-digits in casinos that have re-opened since mid-June.
Lottery instant ticket sales are up over 20% for instant game retail sales in the most recent four-week period compared to the same period last year.
Lottery revenue was 10% lower than the prior year, while AEBITDA was down 6% AEBITDA margins increased by 100 bps to 46%. The margin growth was primarily driven by a higher mix of revenue from our Scientific Games Enhanced Partnership (SGEP) program.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

The Company's management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures: Consolidated AEBITDA, Consolidated AEBITDA margin, free cash flow, EBITDA from equity investments, net debt and net debt leverage ratio, and consolidated net cash outflow (each, as described more fully below). These non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental disclosures. They should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Specifically, the Company's management uses Consolidated AEBITDA to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the consolidated Company's business operations; (ii) facilitate management's internal and external comparisons of the Company's consolidated historical operating performance; and (iii) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and operating budgets.

In addition, the Company's management uses Consolidated AEBITDA and Consolidated AEBITDA margin to facilitate management's external comparisons of the Company's consolidated results to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels.

The Company's management uses EBITDA from equity investments to monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company's equity investments. The Company's management uses net debt and net debt leverage ratio in monitoring and evaluating the Company's overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage. The Company's management uses consolidated net cash outflow in monitoring, evaluating and managing the Company's cash expenditures and available liquidity in the response to the disruptions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Company's management believes that each of these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide management and investors with information regarding the Company's financial condition and operating performance that is an integral part of management's reporting and planning processes. In particular, the Company's management believes that Consolidated AEBITDA is helpful because this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effects of restructuring, transaction, integration or other items that management believes is less indicative of the Company's ongoing underlying operating performance and are better evaluated separately. Management believes Consolidated AEBITDA margin is useful for analysts and investors as this measure allows an evaluation of the performance of our ongoing business operations and provides insight into the cash operating income margins generated from our business, from which capital investments are made and debt is serviced. Moreover, management believes EBITDA from equity investments is useful to investors because the Company's Lottery business is conducted through a number of equity investments, and this measure eliminates financial items from the equity investees' earnings that management believes has less bearing on the equity investees' performance. Management believes that free cash flow provides useful information regarding the Company's liquidity and its ability to service debt and fund investments. Management also believes that free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides them with an important perspective on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment and necessary license payments to support the Company's ongoing business operations and taking into account cash flows relating to the Company's equity investments. Management believes that net debt and net debt leverage ratio are useful for investors in evaluating the Company's overall liquidity. Management believes that consolidated net cash outflow is useful for investors in evaluating the Company's expected cash expenditures and available liquidity during the period of market disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Consolidated AEBITDA

Consolidated AEBITDA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure and is reconciled to net loss as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled "Reconciliation of Net Loss Attributable to SGC to Consolidated AEBITDA." Consolidated AEBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Consolidated AEBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Consolidated AEBITDA is reconciled to consolidated net loss and includes net loss attributable to SGC with the following adjustments: (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest, (2) restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition costs and other unusual items; (3) depreciation and amortization expense and impairment charges (including goodwill impairments); (4) change in fair value of investments and remeasurement of debt; (5) interest expense; (6) income tax expense; (7) stock-based compensation; (8) loss (gain) on debt financing transactions; and (9) other expense (income), net. In addition to the preceding adjustments, we exclude earnings from equity method investments and add (without duplication) our pro rata share of EBITDA of our equity investments, which represents our share of earnings (whether or not distributed to us) before income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense, and interest (income) expense, net of our joint ventures and minority investees, which is included in our calculation of Consolidated AEBITDA to align with the provisions of our long-term debt arrangements. AEBITDA is presented exclusively as our segment measure of profit or loss.

Consolidated AEBITDA Margin

Consolidated AEBITDA margin, as used herein, represents our Consolidated AEBITDA (as defined above) for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, each calculated as a percentage of revenue. Consolidated AEBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net loss attributable to SGC, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in a schedule above.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, as used herein, represents net cash (used in) provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures (which includes lottery, gaming and digital systems expenditures and other intangible assets and software expenditures), less payments on license obligations, less contributions to equity method investments plus distributions of capital from equity investments. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in a schedule above.

EBITDA from Equity Investments

EBITDA from equity investments, as used herein, represents our share of earnings (whether or not distributed to us) plus income tax expense, depreciation and amortization expense (inclusive of amortization of payments made to customers for LNS), interest income, net, and other non-cash and unusual items from our joint ventures and minority investees. EBITDA from equity investments is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to earnings from equity investments, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in a schedule above.

Net Debt and Net Debt Leverage Ratio

Net debt is defined as total principal face value of debt outstanding, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, less cash and cash equivalents. Principal face value of debt outstanding includes the face value of debt issued under Senior Secured Credit Facilities, Senior Notes and Subordinated Notes, all described in Note 15 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, but it does not include long term obligations under financing leases or $7 million in proceeds received from transactions completed in 2018 which are presented as debt. In addition, principal face value of debt outstanding with respect to the 2026 Secured Euro Notes and 2026 Unsecured Euro Notes are translated at the constant foreign exchange rate at issuance of these notes as those amounts remain payable at the original issuance amounts in Euro. Net debt leverage ratio, as used herein, represents net debt divided by Consolidated AEBITDA (as defined above).

Consolidated Net Cash Outflow

Consolidated net cash outflow, as used herein, represents consolidated net cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities (as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows), the most directly comparable GAAP measure, less net cash borrowings under the SGI revolving credit facility during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
