Explanatory Note:

 

Although on January 1, 2024, we ceased to qualify as a smaller reporting company, as defined in Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act, we have requalified for such status commencing with this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, based on the aggregate market value of our common stock held by non-affiliates as of June 30, 2024. Our status as a smaller reporting company allows us to provide scaled disclosure in certain SEC filings, which may permit less disclosure than would apply to reporting companies that did not so qualify.

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.

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

 

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 June 30, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand was $23.5 million, and the Company had working capital in addition to cash of $24.3 million. The Company recorded a net loss of $3.7 million and net income of $4.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Net income/losses included non-cash stock-based compensation of $3.9 million and $6.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 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 used in operations amounted to $2.1 million and cash flows provided by operations amounted to $32.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 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 August 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 six months ended June 30, 2023 is derived from the unaudited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q/A for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 filed with the SEC on February 27, 2024. The interim results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024 or for any future interim periods.

   (in millions) 
At June 30, 2024  $40.6   $20.9   $0.6   $(12.1)  $(4.9)
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 period amounted to $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

 

For the periods ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 respectively, there were 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 June 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 $95.2 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize as revenue approximately 23% through December 31, 2024, approximately 55% through December 31, 2026, and the remaining 22% through December 31, 2029.

 

6. Long Term and Other Debt

 

Under our debt facilities in place as of June 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 June 30, 2024 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.1x.

 

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.

 

There were no covenant violations in the periods ended June 30, 2024 or June 30, 2023.

 

7. Stock-Based Compensation

 

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

 

  

Number of

Shares

 
     
Unvested Outstanding at January 1, 2024 (1)   1,242,175 
Granted (2)   611,434 
Forfeited   (165,115)
Vested   (100,477)
Unvested Outstanding at June 30, 2024   1,588,017 

 

(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 352,287 shares during the six months ended June 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 six months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023 amounted to $0.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

9. 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 either contingently issuable shares or because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive:

 

   2024   2023   2024   2023 
  

Three Months Ended

June 30,

  

Six Months Ended

Other finance income (expense)  $0.1   $0.1   $0.2   $0.2 

 

11. Income Taxes

 

The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 26.8% and 15.7%, respectively, resulting in a $0.8 million and $1.0 million income tax expense, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was 27.7% and 16.6%, respectively, resulting in a $1.4 million income tax benefit and a $0.8 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 June 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 twelve 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.

 

12. 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 June 30, 2024. Macquarie UK held $2.1 million of the total $19.0 million of RCF drawn at June 30, 2024, and $2.1 million of the total $19.1 million of RCF drawn at December 31, 2023, respectively. Interest expense payable to Macquarie UK for the RCF for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 amounted to $0.0 million and $0.0 million, respectively, and for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 (including non-utilization fees) amounted to $0.1 million and $0.0 million, respectively. Macquarie UK did not hold any of the Company’s senior notes at June 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.

13. 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

14. 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.

15. 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:

16. 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 capital expenditures for the periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, we derived approximately 75% (in both periods) of our revenue from the UK (including customers headquartered in the UK but whose revenue is generated globally), respectively, 6% and 8% from Greece, respectively, and the remaining 19% and 17% across the rest of the world. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we derived approximately 78% and 77% from the UK, 7% and 8% from Greece and 15% (in both periods) for the rest of world.

 

As of June 30, 2024, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) were attributable as follows: 70% to the UK, 10% to Greece and 20% across the rest of the world. As of June 30, 2023, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) were attributable as follows: 77% to the UK, 4% to Greece and 19% 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, we derived approximately 25% (in both periods) of our revenue from sales to customers outside the UK (see caveat above), compared to 22% and 23% during the three and six months ended June 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 three month periods ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the average GBP:USD rates were 1.26 and 1.25, respectively, and for the six-month period were 1.27 and 1.24, 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 six-month periods ended June 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 six-month periods ended June 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 – Current Quarter

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 in the Gaming segment, Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis (“AGLC”) in Canada ordered 150 new Valor terminals which were deployed during the quarter following a successful six-month trial. In addition, William Hill has committed to lease 5,000 new Vantage® terminals. Deployment of the new terminals will begin in the fourth quarter of 2024, with expected completion in the first half of 2025.

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 we partnered with the NBA to provide a Virtual Sports offering, which went live in the Greek market during the period.

 

During the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 the Interactive segment went live with fourteen new operators. The total number of customers at the end of the period increased by nine due to changes with several smaller-scale customers. In addition, Inspired licensed its remote gaming server (“RGS”) to an operator customer, allowing the customer to host its own instance of the most recent version of our RGS.

 

Inspired also announced an engagement with Tunley Environmental to conduct a thorough business carbon assessment, with the goal of reducing the company’s carbon footprint aligning with the Company’s commitment to reduce its environmental footprint.

 

Key agreements made in the ordinary course of business in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 include a contract with Meadow Bay Villages to run the family entertainment center at Billing Aquadrome, Northampton UK resulting in installations in May and July 2024.

Revenue (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2023)

 

Consolidated Reported Revenue by Segment

 

 

 

There were no Low Margin-related sales for the three and six-months ended June 30, 2024. For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2023 Low Margin-related sales were $4.4 million (in both periods)

 

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, revenue on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis decreased by $4.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, or 6% (in both periods)

 

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, Gaming revenue declined by $4.3 million. Gaming product sales declined $2.1 million due to a decrease in the UK market, partially offset by growth in North America, Gaming service revenue declined $2.2 million, due to a decrease in the UK and mainland European markets. Virtual Sports declined by $3.5 million due to reduced Online revenue. Interactive grew by $2.7 million, driven by revenue growth in the UK, North America and mainland Europe: and Leisure grew by $0.7 million predominately driven by the increased revenues in Holiday Parks due to the addition of a new site as well as growth in existing sites.

 

For the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, Gaming revenue declined by $8.2 million. Gaming product sales declined $3.7 million due to a decrease in the UK market for low margin sales in the prior year period not repeated in the current year, partially offset by growth in North America, Gaming service revenue decreased by $4.5 million predominately due to revenue decline in the UK and mainland European markets. Virtual Sports decreased by $6.4 million due to a decrease in Online revenue; Interactive grew by $4.6 million, driven by revenue growth in the UK, mainland Europe and Latin America; and Leisure revenue increased by $1.4 million due to increases in Holiday Parks and Pubs.

Cost of Sales, excluding depreciation and amortization

 

Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, decreased by $4.2 million and $6.4 million, or 15% and 13%, respectively. The decreases were driven by a $1.6 million and $1.3 million decrease in cost of service, respectively, predominately driven by the decrease in service revenues and by a $2.6 million and $5.1 million decrease in cost of product, predominantly driven by the decrease in product revenues, respectively.

 

Selling, general and administrative expenses

 

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 increased by $5.4 million and $9.6 million, or 23% and 19%, respectively.

 

The increase in the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, was primarily driven by an increase of $2.8 million due to cost of the restatement of our prior financial statements (excluded from adjusted EBITDA), $0.7 million due to cost of restructuring (excluded from adjusted EBITDA) and $0.9 million due to non-staff costs mainly for increased facility, travel, storage and distribution costs.

 

The increase in the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, was driven primarily by the $7.8 million costs of the restatement of our prior financial statements (removed from Adjusted EBITDA), an increase in non-staff costs of $2.9 million, of which the largest proportion was driven by increased facility, travel, external labor, IT, storage and distribution costs as well as an increase in staff cost of $0.5 million driven by support staff costs and an increase in national living wage and salary increases. This was partially offset by a reduction in the cost of group restructure of $2.1 million (removed from Adjusted EBITDA).

 

Stock-based compensation

 

During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded stock based compensation expenses of $1.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, compared to stock based compensation expenses of $3.1 million and $6.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. All expenses related to outstanding awards but the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, included $0.4 million related to award units that were fully vested on the date of grant and therefore were expensed immediately. The six months ended June 30, 2023 also included $0.7 million related to the group restructure.

 

Depreciation and amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization for the three-month period ended June 30, 2024, increased by $0.3 million. This increase was driven by increases in Virtual Sports of $1.6 million and Interactive of $0.2 million, partially offset by a reduction in Gaming of $1.2 million, due to assets being fully depreciated.

 

Depreciation and amortization for the six-month period ended June 30, 2024, increased by $0.5 million. This increase was driven by increases in Virtual Sports of $1.7 million and Interactive of $0.7 million, partially offset by a reduction in Gaming of $1.6 million and Leisure of $0.3 million due to assets being fully depreciated.

 

Net operating income / net income/(loss)

 

During the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2024, net operating income was $9.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively, representing declines of $4.8 million and $10.6 million, respectively, compared to the prior year periods. The decreases were primarily due to the increases in SG&A expenses, (including the cost of restating our prior financial statements in the three and six-month periods).

 

For the three and six-months ended June 30, 2024 net income / (loss) was $2.0 million and net loss was $3.7 million, respectively, compared to a net income of $5.6 million and $4.2 million, respectively, in the prior periods.

 

For the three-month period ended June 30, 2024 the $3.8 million decline compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the increase in SG&A expenses of $5.4 million. This was partially offset by a reduction in stock-based compensation of $1.3 million.

 

For the six-month period ended June 30. 2024 the $7.6 million decline compared to the prior year period, was primarily due to the increase in SG&A expenses of $9.6 million, primarily driven by the cost of the restatement of prior financial statements of $7.8 million. This was partially offset by a reduction in stock-based compensation of $2.1 million and in income tax expense of $2.2 million.

Deferred Tax

 

The Company recorded a valuation allowance against all of our deferred tax assets as of both June 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 six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three and six months ended June 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.
