The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are generally located in the material set forth under the heading “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” but may be found in other locations as well. These statements are based upon management’s current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, including, among other things:
our inability to successfully execute our strategy and rebranding initiative;
slow growth of new gaming jurisdictions, slow addition of casinos in existing jurisdictions and declines in the replacement cycle of gaming machines;
risks relating to foreign operations, including anti-corruption laws, fluctuations in currency rates, restrictions on the payment of dividends from earnings, restrictions on the import of products and financial instability;
difficulty predicting what impact, if any, new tariffs imposed by and other trade actions taken by the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions could have on our business;
U.S. and international economic and industry conditions, including increases in benchmark interest rates and the effects of inflation;
public perception of our response to environmental, social and governance issues;
changes in, or the elimination of, our share repurchase program;
resulting pricing variations and other impacts of our common stock being listed to trade on more than one stock exchange;
level of our indebtedness, higher interest rates, availability or adequacy of cash flows and liquidity to satisfy indebtedness, other obligations or future cash needs;
inability to further reduce or refinance our indebtedness;
restrictions and covenants in debt agreements, including those that could result in acceleration of the maturity of our indebtedness;
competition;
inability to win, retain or renew, or unfavorable revisions of, existing contracts, and the inability to enter into new contracts;
risks and uncertainties of potential changes in U.K. gaming legislation, including any new or revised licensing and taxation regimes, responsible gambling requirements and/or sanctions on unlicensed providers;
inability to adapt to, and offer products that keep pace with, evolving technology, including any failure of our investment of significant resources in our R&D efforts;
the possibility that the conditions to the completion of the SciPlay Acquisition (as defined below) may not be satisfied on the anticipated schedule or at all;
the possibility that the SciPlay Acquisition may not be consummated or that L&W and SciPlay may be unable to achieve expected operational, strategic and financial benefits of the SciPlay Acquisition;
the possibility of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the Merger Agreement (as defined below);
the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted following announcement of the SciPlay Acquisition;
failure to retain key management and employees of SciPlay;
unpredictability and severity of catastrophic events, including but not limited to acts of terrorism, war or hostilities or the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as management’s response to any of the aforementioned factors;
changes in demand for our products and services;
inability to achieve some or all of the anticipated benefits of SciPlay being a standalone public company;
dependence on suppliers and manufacturers;
SciPlay’s dependence on certain key providers;
ownership changes and consolidation in the gaming industry;
fluctuations in our results due to seasonality and other factors;

security and integrity of our products and systems, including the impact of any security breaches or cyber-attacks;
protection of our intellectual property, inability to license third-party intellectual property and the intellectual property rights of others;
reliance on or failures in information technology and other systems;
litigation and other liabilities relating to our business, including litigation and liabilities relating to our contracts and licenses, our products and systems, our employees (including labor disputes), intellectual property, environmental laws and our strategic relationships;

legislative interpretation and enforcement, regulatory perception and regulatory risks with respect to gaming, especially internet wagering, social gaming and sports wagering;
changes in tax laws or tax rulings, or the examination of our tax positions;
opposition to legalized gaming or the expansion thereof and potential restrictions on internet wagering;
significant opposition in some jurisdictions to interactive social gaming, including social casino gaming and how such opposition could lead these jurisdictions to adopt legislation or impose a regulatory framework to govern interactive social gaming or social casino gaming specifically, and how this could result in a prohibition on interactive social gaming or social casino gaming altogether, restrict our ability to advertise our games, or substantially increase our costs to comply with these regulations;
expectations of shift to regulated digital gaming or sports wagering;
inability to develop successful products and services and capitalize on trends and changes in our industries, including the expansion of internet and other forms of digital gaming;
the continuing evolution of the scope of data privacy and security regulations, and our belief that the adoption of increasingly restrictive regulations in this area is likely within the U.S. and other jurisdictions;

expectations of growth in total consumer spending on social casino gaming.
Additional information regarding risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements is included from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including under “Risk Factors” in Part II, Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A in our 2022 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no and expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
You should also note that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain references to industry market data and certain industry forecasts. Industry market data and industry forecasts are obtained from publicly available information and industry publications. Industry publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of that information is not guaranteed. Although we believe industry information to be accurate, it is not independently verified by us and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of that information. In general, we believe there is less publicly available information concerning the international gaming, social and digital gaming industries than the same industries in the U.S.
Due to rounding, certain numbers presented herein may not precisely recalculate.

LIGHT & WONDER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, amounts in USD, table amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of the Business
We are a leading cross-platform global games company with a focus on content and digital markets. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities primarily includes supplying game content and gaming machines, CMSs and table game products and services to licensed gaming entities; providing social casino and other mobile games, including casual gaming, to retail customers; and providing a comprehensive suite of digital gaming content, distribution platforms, player account management systems, as well as various other iGaming content and services. We report our results of operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “LNW.” Our common stock is also listed as CDIs on the ASX and commenced active trading on May 22, 2023 (AEST) under the ticker symbol “LNW.”
On August 8, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining equity interest in SciPlay not already owned by us (approximately 17%) pursuant to a merger in which SciPlay’s shareholders will receive $22.95 for each share of SciPlay Class A common stock they own (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2023, by and among L&W, Bern Merger Sub, Inc. and SciPlay (the “Merger Agreement”)) in an all-cash transaction (valued at approximately $500 million subject to the total count of outstanding SciPlay Class A shares at closing) (the “SciPlay Acquisition”). Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, the wholly owned subsidiary of L&W holding approximately 98% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of SciPlay common stock delivered to SciPlay a written consent approving the Merger Agreement and the SciPlay Acquisition. This transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. As a result of the SciPlay Acquisition, SciPlay will cease to be publicly traded and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of L&W.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for SciPlay and L&W, including the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the SciPlay Acquisition is not consummated on or before February 8, 2024.
We completed the sales of our former Lottery Business and Sports Betting Business during the second and third quarters of 2022, respectively. We have reflected the prior period financial results of these Divested Businesses as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 2 for further information. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures included herein relate to our continuing operations.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of L&W, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of L&W and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2022 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K.
Other (Expense) Income, net
Other (expense) income, net includes gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, interest income, earnings (losses) from equity investments and other items. Other (expense) income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consisted of foreign currency transaction losses which totaled $25 million and $38 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, foreign currency transaction gains were $2 million, and they were not material for the three months ended June 30, 2022.

11



Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to L&W Per Share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to L&W per share are based upon net income (loss) attributable to L&W divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income attributable to L&W per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and RSUs only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive to net income from continuing operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we included 2 million of common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted net income attributable to L&W per share. Basic and diluted net loss attributable to L&W per share were the same for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as all common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for those periods. We excluded 2 million of stock options and 2 million of RSUs outstanding from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
New Accounting Guidance
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since those described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
(2) Discontinued Operations
We completed the Divestitures in 2022 and reflected the prior period financial results of the Divested Businesses as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations. For the sale of our former Lottery Business completed during the second quarter of 2022, we received $5.7 billion in gross cash proceeds and recorded a pre-tax gain of $4.6 billion. The summarized results of our discontinued operations were as follows:

Other than contracts with customers with financing arrangements exceeding 12 months, revenue recognition is generally proximal to conversion to cash. The following table summarizes our balances in these accounts for the periods indicated (other than contract liabilities disclosed above):

(4) Business Segments
We report our operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. A detailed discussion regarding the products and services from which each reportable business segment derives its revenue is included in Notes 3 and 4 in our 2022 10-K.

Credit Quality of Receivables
We have certain concentrations of outstanding receivables in international locations that impact our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. We monitor the macroeconomic and political environment in each of these locations in our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. The international customers with significant concentrations (generally deemed to be exceeding 10%) of our receivables with terms longer than one year are primarily in the Latin America region (“LATAM”) and are primarily comprised of Mexico, Peru and Argentina. The following table summarizes our LATAM receivables:

Receivables$64 $41 $23 
Allowance for credit losses(19)(10)(9)
Receivables, net$45 $31 $14 
We continuously review receivables and, as information concerning credit quality arise, reassess our expectations of future losses and record an incremental reserve if warranted at that time. Our current allowance for credit losses represents our current expectation of credit losses; however, future expectations could change as international unrest or other macro-economic factors impact the financial stability of our customers.
The fair value of receivables is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of receivables, net, approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms of receivables generally being less than 24 months.

(12) Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are described below.
Derivative Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2023, we held the following derivative instruments that were accounted for pursuant to ASC 815:
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
We use interest rate swap contracts as described below to mitigate gains or losses associated with the change in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt.
In April 2022, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our new variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we pay. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. We pay interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.8320% and receive interest at a variable rate equal to one-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange Term SOFR. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps was $700 million as of June 30, 2023. These hedges mature in April 2027. We also previously had interest rate swap contracts that matured in February 2022.
All gains and losses from these hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the future underlying payment transactions occur. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the hedges were recognized (together with the hedged transaction) as interest expense. We estimated the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts by discounting the future cash flows of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest payments based on market yield curves. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as established by ASC 820.
The following table shows the gain and interest expense recognized on our interest rate swap contracts:

Contingent Acquisition Consideration Liabilities
In connection with our acquisitions, we have recorded certain contingent consideration liabilities (including redeemable non-controlling interest), of which the values are primarily based on reaching certain earnings-based metrics. The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on their respective acquisition dates as a part of the consideration transferred and are remeasured each reporting period (other than for redeemable non-controlling interest, which is measured based on its redemption value). The inputs used to measure the fair value of our liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

unvested RSUs that will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. The fair value at vesting date of RSUs vested during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $51 million and $62 million, respectively.
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Rights Agreement
The 2018 Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, as described in Note 17 of our 2022 10-K, expired on June 19, 2023. Immediately prior to its expiration, no shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were outstanding and no preferred share purchase rights had been exercised. At the time of the expiration of the agreement, the preferred share purchase rights expired and are no longer outstanding.
Share Repurchase Programs
On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase, from time to time through February 25, 2025, up to an aggregate amount of $750 million of our outstanding common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.6 million shares of common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $33 million.
On May 9, 2022, SciPlay’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 9, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. On May 3, 2023, SciPlay’s Board of Directors approved another share repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 3, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, SciPlay repurchased 1.4 million shares of Class A common stock under the programs at an aggregate cost of $23 million.
(14) Income Taxes
We consider new evidence (both positive and negative) at each reporting date that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. We evaluate information such as historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in our analysis. Based on the available evidence, valuation allowances in certain U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions remain consistent as of June 30, 2023.
Our income tax expense (including discrete items) was $15 million and $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $1 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. In 2023, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of certain non-deductible items including foreign exchange losses, partially mitigated by tax benefits from internal restructuring transactions in the first quarter of 2023. In all periods, we recorded tax expense relative to pre-tax earnings in jurisdictions without valuation allowances, including our 17% noncontrolling interest in SciPlay.
(15) Leases
Our total operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was $5 million and $11 million, respectively, and $4 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. The total amount of variable and short-term lease payments was immaterial for all periods presented.

(16) Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings, which are described below.
We record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated (although, as discussed below, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the accrued liability). We evaluate our accruals for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect (1) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments, (2) the advice and analyses of counsel and (3) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with our legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. We had accrued liabilities of $11 million for all of our legal matters that were contingencies as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Substantially all of our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Consequently, the ultimate outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued. We may be unable to estimate a range of possible losses for some matters pending against us or our subsidiaries, even when the amount of damages claimed against us or our subsidiaries is stated because, among other things: (1) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (2) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (3) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (4) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (5) the matter may not have progressed sufficiently through discovery or there may be significant factual or legal issues to be resolved or developed; and/or (6) there may be uncertainty as to the enforceability of legal judgments and outcomes in certain jurisdictions. Other matters have progressed sufficiently that we are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For those legal contingencies disclosed herein as well as those related to the previously disclosed settlement agreement entered into in February 2015 with SNAI S.p.a., as to which a loss is reasonably possible, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, and for which we are able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is up to approximately $13 million in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) related to those legal contingencies. This aggregate range represents management’s estimate of additional possible loss in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) with respect to these matters based on currently available information, including any damages claimed by the plaintiffs, and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and inherent uncertainties. For example, at the time of making an estimate, management may have only preliminary, incomplete, or

inaccurate information about the facts underlying a claim; its assumptions about the future rulings of the court or other tribunal on significant issues, or the behavior and incentives of adverse parties, regulators, indemnitors or co‑defendants, may prove to be wrong; and the outcomes it is attempting to predict are often not amenable to the use of statistical or other quantitative analytical tools. In addition, from time to time an outcome may occur that management had not accounted for in its estimate because it had considered that outcome to be remote. Furthermore, as noted above, the aggregate range does not include any matters for which we are not able to estimate a range of possible loss. Accordingly, the estimated aggregate range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Any such losses could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The legal proceedings underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
Colombia Litigation
Our subsidiary, LNWI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under a contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successors, “Ecosalud”), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, LNWI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5.0 million if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, LNWI delivered to Ecosalud a $4.0 million surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech’s exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, 1993.
In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, LNWI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. LNWI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the “Tribunal”), which upheld both resolutions. LNWI appealed each decision to the Council of State. In May 2012, the Council of State upheld the contract default resolution, which decision was notified to us in August 2012. In October 2013, the Council of State upheld the liquidation resolution, which decision was notified to us in December 2013.
In July 1996, Ecosalud filed a lawsuit against LNWI in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia asserting many of the same claims asserted in the Colombia proceedings, including breach of contract, and seeking damages. In March 1997, the District Court dismissed Ecosalud’s claims. Ecosalud appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision in 1998.
In June 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against LNWI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In May 2013, the Tribunal denied LNWI’s merit defenses to the collection proceeding and issued an order of payment of approximately 90 billion Colombian pesos, or approximately $30 million, plus default interest (potentially accrued since 1994 at a 12% statutory interest rate). LNWI filed an appeal to the Council of State, and on December 10, 2020, the Council of State issued a ruling affirming the Tribunal’s decision. On December 16, 2020, LNWI filed a motion for clarification of the Council of State’s ruling, which was denied on April 15, 2021. On April 22, 2021, LNWI filed a motion for reconsideration relating to that decision, which the Council of State denied on February 21, 2022. On May 24, 2022, the case was transferred from the Council of State to the Tribunal for further proceedings. On August 18, 2022, LNWI filed a constitutional challenge to the Council of State’s December 10, 2020 decision with that court, which was denied on October 7, 2022. On December 7, 2022, LNWI filed an appeal with the Council of State from the denial of the constitutional challenge, which was denied on May 24, 2023. On June 28, 2023, the Columbian Constitutional Court received the record of the constitutional appeal for further consideration.
LNWI believes it has various defenses, including on the merits, against Ecosalud’s claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and we cannot assure that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability.
TCS John Huxley Matter
On March 15, 2019, TCS John Huxley America, Inc., TCS John Huxley Europe Ltd., TCS John Huxley Asia Ltd., and Taiwan Fulgent Enterprise Co., Ltd. brought a civil action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. and South African patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold to regulated casinos in the United States. On April 10, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’

26


complaint with prejudice. On April 25, 2019, the district court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss without prejudice pursuant to the court’s local rules, after the plaintiffs advised that they intended to file an amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on May 3, 2019, and on May 22, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint with prejudice. On March 20, 2020, the district court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint, and defendants filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ amended complaint on June 19, 2020. On June 3, 2020, the trial court granted the defendants’ request to bifurcate proceedings in the case, with discovery to occur first into the statute of limitations and release defenses asserted by the defendants in their motion to dismiss, before proceeding into broader discovery. The trial court set a September 18, 2020, deadline for the parties to complete discovery relating to the statute of limitations and release defenses. On October 28, 2020, the court issued an order extending until January 15, 2021 the deadline for the parties to complete discovery relating to the statute of limitations defense. On February 9, 2021, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on their statute of limitations defense, addressing whether plaintiffs had actual knowledge of their claims prior to the start of the limitations period. The district court denied that motion for summary judgment on September 20, 2021. On January 13, 2023, the district court entered an order requiring, among other things, that the plaintiffs make a formal written settlement demand by January 20, 2023, that the defendants respond to that demand in writing by January 27, 2023, and that the parties file a status report by January 31, 2023 confirming that they have complied with the district court’s order. On January 31, 2023, the parties filed a joint status report confirming that they have complied with the district court’s order to make and respond to a formal written demand. Discovery closed on June 1, 2023. On June 30, 2023, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, which is pending. We are unable at this time to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses above the amount we have accrued for this matter due to the complexity of the plaintiffs’ claims, and the unpredictability of the outcome of the proceedings in the district court, and on any appeal therefrom.
Tonkawa Tribe Matter
On September 3, 2020, the Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma d/b/a Tonkawa Enterprises filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. On October 5, 2020, the plaintiff filed a first amended complaint to add Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and the Umpqua Indian Development Corp., d/b/a Seven Feathers Casino as a plaintiff. On October 26, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for card shufflers sold or leased to regulated casinos in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all regulated United States casinos directly leasing or purchasing card shufflers from the defendants on or after April 1, 2009. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On November 19, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ second amended complaint or, in the alternative, to compel arbitration of plaintiffs’ claims. On November 20, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment, seeking a finding that defendants are collaterally estopped from re-litigating issues litigated in the 2018 litigation versus Shuffle Tech International Corp., Aces Up Gaming, and Poydras-Talrick Holdings. On August 27, 2021, the Nevada district court entered an order transferring the lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On May 19, 2022, the Illinois district court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration of plaintiffs’ individual claims; stayed all proceedings in the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitral process; and accordingly dismissed all pending motions without prejudice as moot. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Giuliano and Rancho’s Club Casino Matter
On September 4, 2020, Alfred T. Giuliano, as liquidation trustee for RIH Acquisition NJ, LLC d/b/a The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the Defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On September 8, 2020, Rancho’s Club Casino, Inc., d/b/a Magnolia House Casino filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiff asserts federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United

27


States from the defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.
On October 29, 2020, the trial court consolidated the Giuliano and Rancho’s Club Casino matters. On October 30, 2020, the plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a first amended consolidated complaint. On November 9, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ first amended consolidated complaint, and also filed a motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano’s individual claims. On May 19, 2022, the Illinois district court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration; stayed all proceedings in the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitral process; and accordingly dismissed all pending motions without prejudice. On May 31, 2022, defendants filed a motion to lift the stay of the lawsuit for the limited purpose of amending the court’s May 19, 2022 order to confirm that plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano must proceed to arbitration on an individual basis rather than a class-wide basis. On June 10, 2022, plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice, and the court therefore denied as moot defendants’ motion to lift the stay in an order entered on March 28, 2023. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the consolidated lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
In re Automatic Card Shufflers Litigation Matter
On April 2, 2021, Casino Queen, Inc. and Casino Queen Marquette, Inc. filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiffs’ costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On June 11, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint, which the court denied on May 19, 2022. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Mohawk Gaming Enterprises Matter
On November 9, 2020, Mohawk Gaming Enterprises LLC, d/b/a Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, filed a demand for a putative class arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. (“Respondents”). In the complaint, the claimant asserts federal antitrust claims arising from the respondents’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The claimant alleges that the respondents used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The claimant seeks to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the respondents, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the arbitration panel to treble, and the award of claimant’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees. Respondents filed their answering statement on December 9, 2020. On October 29, 2021, the claimant filed a memorandum in support of class arbitration, which Respondents opposed on December 3, 2021. On February 8, 2022, the Arbitrator issued a clause construction award, finding that the arbitration could proceed on behalf of a class or classes. On February 11, 2022, Respondents filed a petition to vacate the award in the New York Supreme Court. The Court denied Respondents’ petition on August 9, 2022, and on August 16, 2022, Respondents appealed to the New York Appellate Division, First Department, which denied Respondents’ appeal on June 22, 2023. On April 15, 2022, Respondents filed a motion to dismiss the claimant’s complaint, which the Arbitrator denied on July 26, 2022. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Boorn Matter
On September 15, 2022, plaintiff Hannelore Boorn filed a putative class action against L&W, SciPlay Corporation, and Appchi Media Ltd. in the Fayette Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In her complaint, plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of all persons in Kentucky who, within the past five years, purchased and allegedly lost $5.00 or more worth of chips, in a 24-hour period, playing SciPlay’s online social casino games. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Kentucky’s “recovery of gambling losses” statute and for unjust enrichment, and seeks unspecified money damages, the award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, pre- and post-judgment interest, and injunctive and/or other declaratory relief. On October 18, 2022, defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the Eastern

28


District of Kentucky. On October 26, 2022, the plaintiff filed a notice voluntarily dismissing the lawsuit without prejudice. On October 27, 2022, the district court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit. On November 17, 2022, the plaintiff filed an arbitration demand against defendants before the American Arbitration Association, pursuant to which she seeks declaratory judgments that (1) SciPlay’s online social casino games constitute gambling under Kentucky law, and (2) SciPlay’s terms of service are void under Kentucky law. On January 12, 2023, the respondents filed their answering statement to plaintiff’s arbitration demand. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Allah Beautiful Matter
On December 19, 2022, claimant Prince Imanifest Allah Beautiful filed an arbitration demand against respondent SciPlay Corporation before the American Arbitration Association. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of New Jersey’s anti-gambling statutes and seeks unspecified money damages, including recovery of monies allegedly lost by New Jersey players of SciPlay’s online social casino games other than the claimant. On March 7, 2023, the respondent filed its answering statement to claimant’s arbitration demand. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.

On March 7, 2023, the respondent filed its answering statement to claimant’s arbitration demand. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.

On March 8, 2023, plaintiff Andrea Sornberger filed a complaint against SciPlay Corporation and SciPlay Games, LLC in the Circuit Court of the Franklin County, Alabama. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Alabama anti-gambling statutes and seeks unspecified money damages, including recovery of monies allegedly lost by Alabama players of SciPlay’s online social casino games other than the plaintiff, the award of interests and costs, and injunctive and other relief. On April 12, 2023, defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to enhance the reader’s understanding of our operations and current business environment from management’s perspective and should be read in conjunction with the description of our business included under Part I, Item 1 “Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” and Part II, Item 1A “Risk Factors” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and under Part I, Item 1 “Business,” Item 1A “Risk Factors” and Part II, Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our 2022 10-K.
This “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (“MD&A”) contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures and information contained and referenced under “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and “Risk Factors” included in our 2022 10-K. As used in this MD&A, the terms “we,” “us,” “our” and the “Company” mean L&W together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a leading cross-platform global games company with a focus on content and digital markets. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities primarily includes supplying game content and gaming machines, CMSs and table game products and services to licensed gaming entities; providing social casino and other mobile games, including casual gaming, to retail customers; and providing a comprehensive suite of digital gaming content, distribution platforms, player account management systems, as well as various other iGaming content and services.
As more fully described in Part I, Item 1 “Business” in our 2022 10-K, we are executing on our strategy to become a leading cross-platform global games company with a focus on content and digital markets. We report our results of operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. See “Business Segments Results” below and Note 4 for additional business segment information.
In addition to our existing primary Nasdaq listing, our common stock is listed as CDIs on the ASX and commenced active trading on May 22, 2023 (AEST) under the ticker symbol “LNW.” We believe this secondary listing will create substantial benefits for L&W and its shareholders, including enhancing the Company’s profile in Australia, one of the leading markets for the L&W’s Gaming business, and providing the Company access to new long-term Australian institutional investors that complement our strong existing base of shareholders.
As described in Note 1, on August 8, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining equity interest in SciPlay not already owned by us (approximately 17%) pursuant to a merger in which SciPlay’s shareholders will receive $22.95 for each share of SciPlay Class A common stock they own (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement) in an all-cash transaction (valued at approximately $500 million subject to the total count of outstanding SciPlay Class A shares at closing). Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, the wholly owned subsidiary of L&W holding approximately 98% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of SciPlay common stock delivered to SciPlay a written consent approving the Merger Agreement and the SciPlay Acquisition. No further approval of the stockholders of SciPlay is required to approve the Merger Agreement and the SciPlay Acquisition. This transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. As a result of the SciPlay Acquisition, SciPlay will cease to be publicly traded and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of L&W.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for SciPlay and L&W, including the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the SciPlay Acquisition is not consummated on or before February 8, 2024.
We believe that this transaction will enable seamless collaboration with SciPlay that will add further momentum to our already robust cross-platform strategy, provide flexibility for use of SciPlay cash flows for investments across the enterprise, and facilitate long-term margin enhancement opportunities via synergies, all of which are expected to increase shareholder value.
Our operating results have substantially recovered from the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021; however, lingering impacts on supply chains in numerous industries have caused shortages of inputs/outputs, which in turn put inflationary pressures on the economy as a whole. Inflationary pressures may have an impact on discretionary income as people allocate more of their disposable income toward higher priced necessity goods and services, which could impact our customers. These circumstances may change in the future and such changes could be material.
We continued in 2023 with strong momentum and delivered a 9th consecutive quarter of consolidated revenue growth year-over-year, continuing advancement toward our long-term financial targets. Consolidated revenue growth was driven by double-digit growth across all of our businesses, including another quarter of record revenues for SciPlay and iGaming.

Gaming revenue growth of 21% and 19% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, was driven by continued momentum in global Gaming machine sales, stronger performance in our U.S. and Canada premium install base, and increased demand for Systems and Table products.
SciPlay revenue increased 19% and 18% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as social casino payer engagement and average monthly paying users increased for both periods. Average monthly revenue per paying user reached a new record high for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
The increase in iGaming revenue of 17% and 12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, was primarily driven by growth in the U.S. from the strength of our original content and increased player activity.

Cost of Revenue
Total cost of revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased as a direct result of higher revenue as described above, driven by $20 million and $42 million, respectively, in higher cost of product revenue primarily associated with higher gaming machine sales and $10 million and $20 million, respectively, in higher cost of services for our SciPlay business segment.
SG&A
SG&A increased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year periods, primarily due to higher stock-based compensation expense of $11 million and $22 million, respectively, higher legal expenses and professional fees of $7 million and $10 million, respectively, and higher salaries and benefits in our SciPlay segment of $4 million and $7 million, respectively.
R&D
R&D increased slightly for both periods, primarily due to higher salaries and benefits in our Gaming and SciPlay segments, partially offset by lower professional services expenses.
D&A
D&A remained relatively flat for the three months ended June 30, 2023, as the effects of fully depreciated assets and amortization of intangible assets related to past acquisitions, primarily associated with our Gaming segment, were mostly offset by increases from acquisitions during 2022 and an impairment charge of $5 million related to SciPlay restructuring of a certain foreign studio. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, D&A decreased primarily due to fully depreciated assets and amortization of intangible assets related to past acquisitions, partially offset by the other drivers described for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Restructuring and Other
The decrease in restructuring and other for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to lower professional services, legal and other costs related to the strategic review and related transactions (see Note 5). The three and six months ended June 30, 2023 included $7 million in professional services associated with the ASX listing, and the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 included contingent consideration remeasurement charges of $9 million and $12 million, respectively.

The increase in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to rising interest rates impacting the LNWI Term Loan B. The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2023 is primarily due to lower outstanding debt resulting from the redemption of select senior notes and refinancing through the LNWI Credit Agreement completed in the second quarter of 2022.

Foreign Currency Exchange (F/X)
Our results are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates used in the translation of foreign functional currencies into USD and the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions or balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. Our exposure to foreign currency volatility on revenue is as follows:

BUSINESS SEGMENTS RESULTS (for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2022)
GAMING
Our Gaming business segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of gaming content, products and services. We provide our Gaming portfolio of products and services to commercial casinos, Native American casinos, wide-area gaming operators such as LBOs, arcade and bingo operators in the U.K. and continental Europe, and government agencies and their affiliated operators.
We generate Gaming revenue from both services and product sales. Our services revenue includes revenue earned from Participation gaming machines, other leased gaming machines (including VLTs and electronic table games), supplied table products and services (including Shufflers), casino management technology solutions and systems, and other services revenues. Our product sales revenue includes the sale of new and used gaming machines, electronic table games, VLTs and VGTs, casino-management technology solutions and systems, table products, proprietary table game licensing, conversion kits (including game, hardware or operating system conversions) and spare parts.
For additional information, refer to the Gaming primary business activities summary included within “Business Segment Results” under Item 7 of our 2022 10-K.
Current Year Update
We continue to see an increase in the demand for our Gaming products and services, and Gaming operations continue to perform above pre-COVID levels. The increase in Gaming revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as

33


compared to the prior year period, was primarily driven by continued momentum in Gaming machine sales growing 41% and 46%, respectively, coupled with growth in Systems and Table products. Gaming operations also benefited from higher average daily revenue per unit and the recent launch of the COSMIC™ cabinet. While demand remains strong, we are actively monitoring any impact of inflationary pressures and macroeconomic uncertainty that may impact our operations. We have experienced and continue to expect some level of supply chain volatility that could impact our ability to meet demand for our products and delay the timing of fulfillment and revenue recognition of orders.

Gaming Operations
Gaming operations revenue for both current year periods demonstrated continued momentum driven by strong game performance of hit franchises, including our premium games. Average daily revenue per unit for U.S. and Canada increased by $1.68 and $2.07 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and for International units it increased by $1.40 and $1.41, respectively. Gaming operations for U.S. and Canada had a 286-unit decrease in installed base, mainly due to reductions in our public gaming and leased core products, partially offset by growth in our premium games. International ending installed base decreased by 3,637 units primarily due to the expected closure of certain LBOs in the U.K. along with the reduction of certain low-yielding units in Greece and Latin America.
Gaming Machine Sales
Gaming machine sales revenue increased as operator capital spending returned to more normalized levels. The increases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, as compared to prior periods, were due to higher sales of replacement units globally of 2,685 and 3,589, respectively, shipments of additional units into international new opening and

35


expansion markets of 195 and 1,606, respectively, and higher average sales price per new unit mainly due to favorable shifts in product mix. The following table summarizes Gaming machine sales changes:

Operating Expenses and AEBITDA
Operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased by $32 million and $66 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, primarily due to $23 million and $55 million, respectively, in higher cost of revenue associated with the increase in revenue as described above and $13 million and $20 million, respectively, in higher SG&A and restructuring and other costs, partially offset by lower D&A of $3 million and $9 million, respectively.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year periods, AEBITDA increased by $54 million and $88 million, respectively, which is primarily related to increased revenue, and AEBITDA as a percentage of revenue (“AEBITDA margin”) increased by 3 and 2 percentage points, respectively, to 49% for both periods. AEBITDA also benefited from a change in the incentive compensation mix from cash to equity awards, resulting in a $2 million and $5 million benefit, respectively, as well as lower legal expenses.
SCIPLAY
Our SciPlay business segment is a leading developer and publisher of digital games on mobile and web platforms. SciPlay operates primarily in the social gaming market, which is characterized by gameplay online or on mobile devices that is social, competitive and self-directed in pace and session length. SciPlay also operates in the hyper-casual space, which is characterized by simpler core loops and more repetitive gameplay than casual games. SciPlay generates a substantial portion of its revenue from in-app purchases in the form of virtual coins, chips and cards, which players can use to play slot games, table games or bingo games. Players who install SciPlay’s social games typically receive free coins, chips or cards upon the initial launch of the game and additional free coins, chips or cards at specific time intervals. Players may exhaust the coins, chips or cards that they receive for free and may choose to purchase additional coins, chips or cards in order to extend their time of game play. Once obtained, coins, chips and cards (either free or purchased) cannot be redeemed for cash nor exchanged for anything other than game play within SciPlay’s apps. SciPlay generates additional revenue through advertising arrangements in SciPlay’s hyper-casual games. Players who install SciPlay’s hyper-casual games receive free, unlimited gameplay that requires viewing of periodic in-game advertisements.
SciPlay currently offers a variety of social casino games, including JACKPOT PARTY® Casino, GOLD FISH® Casino, QUICK HIT® Slots, 88 FORTUNES® Slots, MONOPOLY Slots, and HOT SHOT CASINO®. Our SciPlay business segment continues to pursue its strategy of expanding into the casual games market. Current casual game titles include BINGO SHOWDOWN®, SOLITAIRE PETS™ Adventure and Backgammon Live as well as other titles in the hyper-casual space, including games such as CANDY CHALLENGE 3D™, BOSS LIFE™ and DEEP CLEAN INC. 3D™. During the three months ended June 30, 2023, SciPlay continued development and testing of various new games. SciPlay’s social casino games typically include slots-style game play and occasionally include table games-style game play, while its casual games blend solitaire-style or bingo game play with adventure game features and its hyper-casual games include many simple core loop mechanics. All of SciPlay’s games are offered and played across multiple platforms, including APPLE, GOOGLE, FACEBOOK, AMAZON, and MICROSOFT. In addition to SciPlay’s internally created game content, SciPlay’s content library includes recognizable game content from Light & Wonder. This content allows players who like playing land-based game content to enjoy some of those same titles in SciPlay’s free-to-play games. SciPlay has access to Light & Wonder’s library of more than 1,500 iconic casino titles, including titles and content from third-party licensed brands such as MONOPOLY and JAMES BOND™. We believe that

36


SciPlay’s access to this content, coupled with its years of experience developing in-house content, uniquely positions SciPlay to create compelling digital games.
Current Year Update
SciPlay entered 2023 with strong momentum and continues to see higher payer engagement. Revenue growth was primarily attributable to the social casino business, including games such as Jackpot Party Casino, Quick Hit Slots and Gold Fish Casino. SciPlay continues to deploy significant updates across a number of their portfolio games, execute on its strategic game updates and enhanced analytics, and pursue international expansion.

For the three months ended June 30, 2023, revenues increased as social casino payer engagement increased and average monthly revenue per paying user reached a new record high.

37


For the six months ended June 30, 2023, revenues increased as social casino payer engagement increased with an increase in average monthly paying users.
The increase in mobile penetration percentage for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily reflects a continued trend of players migrating from web to mobile platforms to play SciPlay’s games.
Average MAU for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 decreased due to the turnover in users.
ARPDAU increased with an increase in payers and higher daily average revenue per player while DAU slightly declined for the three months ended June 30, 2023.
ARPDAU increased as a function of flat average DAU coupled with an increase in payers for the six months ended June 30, 2023.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, AMRPPU and average MPU increased as payer conversion improved compared to the prior year period.
Payer conversion rates continue to be at high levels due to consistent payer interaction with the games by players as a result of SciPlay’s focus on introducing new content, features and live events in their games.
Operating Expenses and AEBITDA
The increase in operating expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the prior year periods was primarily correlated with the increase in revenue (as described above) as a result of higher platform fees, higher stock-based compensation of $6 million and $10 million, respectively, higher salaries and benefits related to an increase in headcount, and an impairment charge of $5 million related to the restructuring of a certain foreign studio.
AEBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased as compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the increase in revenue (as described above), partially offset by higher operating costs resulting from increases in salaries and benefits. AEBITDA margin increased by 5 and 3 percentage points, respectively.
iGAMING
Our iGaming business segment provides a comprehensive suite of digital gaming content, distribution platforms, player account management systems, as well as various other iGaming content and services. The majority of our revenue is derived from casino-style game content, including a wide variety of internally developed and branded games as well as popular third-party provider games. These games are made available to iGaming operators via content aggregation platforms, including Open Gaming System, remote gaming servers and various other platforms. We also provide our Open Platform System, a player account management system which offers a wide range of reporting and administrative functions and tools providing operators full control over all areas of digital gaming operations. Generally, we host the play of our game content which is integrated with the online casino operators’ websites.
Current Year Update
We continue to expand our customer base and capitalize on growth in the European and North American markets by leveraging our industry leading platforms, content and solutions, as well as invest in our ability to scale our own original U.S. land-based content offering. Currently we have launched in six U.S. states, and we are positioned to enter others as additional state legislatures authorize online gaming. We are on track to launch our live casino operations in Michigan during the second half of 2023, pending final regulatory approvals.

Results of Operations
Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2023 and 2022
164216431644
The increase in iGaming revenue of 17% and 12% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as compared to the prior year periods, was primarily due to continuing momentum in the U.S. market, which delivered 32% and 33% year-over-year revenue growth, respectively, driven by the strength of our original content and growth in gross gaming revenue. The current year periods also benefited from $2 million in license termination fees. Wagers processed through our Open Gaming System for both current year periods increased to $21 billion and $41 billion, respectively. The three and six months ended June 30, 2023 were impacted by unfavorable impact of foreign currency translation of $1 million and $4 million, respectively.
AEBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 increased as compared to the prior year periods primarily due to the increase in revenue (as described above). AEBITDA margin decreased by 1 and increased by 1 percentage point for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, as we continued strong launches of our original content and investments supporting ongoing growth.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND WORKING CAPITAL
Cash and Available Liquidity
As of June 30, 2023, our principal sources of liquidity, other than cash flows provided by operating activities, were cash and cash equivalents, including SciPlay cash and cash equivalents (for our SciPlay business segment), and amounts available under the SciPlay Revolver (for our SciPlay business segment).

Total cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was $152 million and $142 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. We believe that substantially all cash held outside the U.S. is free from legal encumbrances or similar restrictions that would prevent it from being available to meet our global liquidity needs.
Our Gaming operations generally require significant upfront capital expenditures, and we may need to incur additional capital expenditures in order to retain or increase market share and continue our product investments. Other capital requirements for the near term primarily include debt principal and interest payments, purchase obligations, supply contracts, license agreement minimum guaranteed payments and lease obligations. Under our certain debt agreements, we are required to use a portion of the proceeds received from the Divestitures to reinvest in our business and/or make payments towards our outstanding senior notes by the end of 2023. In April 2023, we paid $32 million in cash taxes associated with the Divestitures. There have been no material changes to our capital requirements disclosed in our 2022 10-K.
Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and other obligations depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. We may, from time to time, repurchase or otherwise repay, retire or refinance our debt, through our subsidiaries or otherwise. In the event we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities, or conduct significant repurchases of our outstanding securities, we may need to raise additional capital. If we do not have adequate liquidity to support these activities, we may be unable to obtain financing for these cash needs on favorable terms or at all. For additional information regarding our cash needs and related risks, see “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A in our 2022 10-K.
On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase, from time to time through February 25, 2025, up to an aggregate amount of $750 million of our outstanding common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.6 million shares of common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $33 million.
On May 9, 2022, SciPlay’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 9, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. SciPlay has since completed the initial share repurchase program authorization. On May 3, 2023, SciPlay’s Board of Directors approved another share repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 3, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. No share repurchases have been made under the new program as of June 30, 2023.
On August 8, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining equity interest in SciPlay not already owned by us (see Note 1 for additional details). The SciPlay Acquisition, once completed, would require us to pay approximately $500 million to the holders of SciPlay Class A common stock (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement).

Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations
$219 $13 $206 
Net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations increased primarily due to a $158 million increase in earnings (drivers described above) and favorable changes in working capital accounts.
Changes in working capital accounts for the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022 benefited from lower interest payments, partially offset by $32 million in cash taxes associated with the Divestitures and $7 million in professional services associated with the ASX listing. The prior year period was also negatively impacted by the timing of disbursements including costs associated with the strategic review and accelerated cash interest payments associated with refinancing debt transactions in April 2022.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations decreased primarily due to SciPlay’s acquisition of Alictus Yazilim Anonim Şirketi in the prior year period, partially offset by the settlement of cross-currency interest rate swaps in the prior year period, in which we received approximately $50 million in cash proceeds, and higher capital expenditures in the current year period. Capital expenditures are composed of investments in systems, equipment and other assets related to contracts, property and equipment, intangible assets and software.
Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations decreased primarily as a result of the receipt of $5.7 billion in gross cash proceeds from the sale of the former Lottery Business, net of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash transferred, during the second quarter of 2022.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased primarily due to the refinancing debt transactions in April 2022, in which we repaid $7.0 billion in senior notes (including redemption premium) and outstanding term loan borrowings and received $2.2 billion in proceeds from the issuance of the LNWI Term Loan B. We also purchased less of our outstanding

41


common stock under our share repurchase program during the current year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, we purchased $33 million and $203 million, respectively, of our common stock.
Credit Agreement and Other Debt
For additional information regarding the LNWI Credit Agreement and other debt, interest rate risk and interest rate hedging instruments, see Notes 15 and 16 and Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2022 10-K as well as Notes 11 and 12 and Item 3 below in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2023, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The following are our primary exposures to market risks:
Interest Rate Risk    
As of June 30, 2023, the face value of long-term debt was $3.9 billion, including $2.2 billion of variable-rate obligations. Assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable-rate long-term debt and excluding the impact of interest rate swap contracts, a hypothetical 1% change in interest rates would result in interest expense changing by approximately $22 million. All of our interest rate sensitive financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading.
In April 2022, we entered into interest rate swap contracts with $700 million notional amount to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we will pay. The objective of our interest rate swap contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges of the future interest payments, is to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to the SOFR component of interest expense to be paid on a portion of our variable rate debt. These hedges mature in April 2027.
For additional information regarding our long-term debt and interest rate swap contracts, see Notes 11 and 12, respectively.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 3a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of June 30, 2023.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023 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
For a description of our legal proceedings, see Note 16 in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Note 20 in our 2022 10-K.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those disclosed under Item 1A “Risk Factors” included in our 2022 10-K, except as noted below.
Our secondary listing of the Company’s common stock on the Australian Securities Exchange could lead to price variations and other impacts on holders our common stock.
On May 22, 2023 (AEST), our common stock was listed as CDIs on the ASX and commenced active trading under the ASX code “LNW,” in addition to our existing primary listing on The Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”). Dual listing may result in price variations between our securities listed on the different exchanges due to a number of factors, including that our common stock listed on the Nasdaq is traded in U.S. dollars and any CDIs listed on the ASX are traded in Australian Dollars, volatility in the exchange rate of the two currencies and differences between the vacation schedules, trading schedules and time zones of the two exchanges, among other factors. A decrease in the price of our securities in one market may result in a decrease in the price of our securities in the other market. Dual listing also presents us with the opportunity to raise additional funds through the issuance of CDIs, which could cause dilution to existing stockholders.
The SciPlay Acquisition subjects us to a number of risks and uncertainties, including lack of assurance regarding the timing of completion of the transaction, whether it will yield additional value for our stockholders and whether it will adversely impact our business, financial results, results of operations, cash flows or stock price.
On August 8, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining equity interest in SciPlay not already owned by us (approximately 17%) pursuant to a merger in which SciPlay’s shareholders will receive $22.95 for each share of SciPlay Class A common stock they own (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement) in an all-cash transaction (valued at approximately $500 million subject to the total count of outstanding SciPlay Class A shares at closing).
The SciPlay Acquisition exposes us to a number of risks and uncertainties, including the possibility that the conditions to the completion of the SciPlay Acquisition may not be satisfied on the anticipated schedule or at all; that L&W may be unable to achieve the expected operational, strategic and financial benefits of the SciPlay Acquisition; diversion of management’s time to the processes associated with evaluating and consummating the SciPlay Acquisition; the incurrence of significant expenses associated with the review, pursuit and consummation of the SciPlay Acquisition; difficulties in retaining or motivating key management personnel of SciPlay; and exposure to potential litigation. Any of these factors could disrupt our business and could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or stock price. There can be no assurance that the SciPlay Acquisition will provide greater value to our stockholders than that reflected in our current stock price.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
We repurchased 84,919 shares under the share repurchase program during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Item 5. Other Information
Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies
Certain of our officers or directors have made elections to participate in, and are participating in, our 401(k) plan and have made, and may from time to time make, elections to have shares withheld to cover withholding taxes, which may be designed to satisfy the affirmative defense conditions of Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act or may constitute non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangements (as defined in Item 408(c) of Regulation S-K). During the three months ended June 30, 2023, no director or officer of the Company adopted or terminated a "Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement" as such term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
Amendment and Restatement of Bylaws
On August 3, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved an amendment and restatement of the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Third Amended and Restated Bylaws”), which became effective the same day. The Third Amended and Restated Bylaws incorporate certain amendments to, among other things:
a.update the procedural mechanics and disclosure requirements relating to director nominations made by stockholders in light of new federal proxy rules mandating the use of “universal” proxy cards in contested director elections, including by:
i.requiring that any stockholder submitting a nomination provide the Company with reasonable documentary evidence five business days prior to the meeting that the representations with respect to Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act (i.e., federal proxy rules regarding the use of “universal” proxy cards in contested director elections) required to be set forth in such stockholder’s nomination notice have been complied with;
ii.requiring that any stockholder soliciting proxies in accordance with the representations of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act notify the Company of any change in such intent within two business days;
iii.limiting the number of nominees a stockholder may nominate for election at a meeting of stockholders to the number of directors to be elected at such meeting; and
iv.clarifying how votes of stockholders are treated by the Company in the event proxies for disqualified or withdrawn nominees for the Board are received;
b.require that a stockholder indirectly or directly soliciting proxies from other stockholders use a proxy card color other than white.
The Third Amended and Restated Bylaws also make certain other amendments reflecting clarifying, non-substantive, administrative or procedural changes to modernize and update the bylaws.
The foregoing description of the bylaws amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Certificate of Withdrawal of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock
In connection with the June 19, 2023 expiration of the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2018 (as previously amended by the first amendment, dated as of June 16, 2020), between the Company and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, on August 8, 2023, the Company filed with the office of the Nevada Secretary of State a Certificate of Withdrawal of Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Withdrawal”), which, effective upon filing, eliminated from the Company’s articles of incorporation the Certificate of Designation of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock the Company filed with the Nevada Secretary of State on January 10, 2018 (as previously amended by the first amendment, dated as of August 5, 2022), returning the shares previously designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock to authorized but undesignated shares of the Company’s preferred stock. The foregoing summary of the terms of the Certificate of Withdrawal does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Withdrawal, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and is incorporated herein by reference.

ARTICLE II
Meetings of Stockholders
Section 2.01    Place and Time of Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders may be held at such place, on such date and at such time as may be designated by the Board of Directors.
Section 2.02    Annual Meetings. The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place, on such date and at such time as designated by the Board of Directors. The purpose of this meeting shall be for the election of directors and for the transaction of such other business as may properly come before the meeting. Except as otherwise restricted by the articles of incorporation of the Corporation (as amended or amended and restated from time to time, the “Articles of Incorporation”) or applicable law, the Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any annual meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.03    Special Meetings. Special meetings of the stockholders for any purpose or purposes shall be called by the Secretary at the written request of a majority of the total number of directors, by the Chair of the Board, by the President or by the stockholders owning a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote. Such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the proposed meeting. Business transacted at any special meeting shall be limited to the purposes stated in the notice. Except as otherwise restricted by the Articles of Incorporation or applicable law, the Board of Directors may postpone, reschedule or cancel any special meeting of stockholders.
Section 2.04    Quorum; Adjourned Meetings. The holders of a majority of the shares outstanding and entitled to vote present in person or by proxy (regardless of whether the proxy has authority to vote on any matter) shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at any annual or special meeting. If a quorum is not present at a meeting, those present shall adjourn to such day as they shall agree upon by majority vote. Notice of any adjourned meeting need not be given if the time and place thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.



However, if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the adjourned meeting must be given to each stockholder of record as of the new record date. At adjourned meetings at which a quorum is present, any business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as originally noticed. If a quorum is present, the stockholders may continue to transact business until adjournment notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.
Section 2.05    Organization. At each meeting of the stockholders, the Chair of the Board or in his or her absence the President or in his or her absence the chair chosen by a majority of the voting power of the stockholders present in person or proxy shall act as chair; and the Secretary of the Corporation, or in his or her absence an Assistant Secretary, or in his or her absence any person whom the chair of the meeting shall appoint, shall act as secretary of the meeting.
Section 2.06    Voting. Each stockholder of the Corporation entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote in person or by proxy for each share of stock having voting rights held by such stockholder and registered in his, her or its name on the books of the Corporation. Upon the request of any stockholder present in person or by proxy at any meeting of the stockholders and entitled to vote at such meeting, or if directed by the chair of the meeting in his or her discretion, the vote on any question before a meeting or the election of directors shall be by written ballot. All questions at a meeting, other than the election of directors (as provided below), shall be decided by a majority vote of the number of shares entitled to vote represented at the meeting at the time of the vote except where otherwise required by statute, the Articles of Incorporation or these Amended and Restated Bylaws (as amended or amended and restated from time to time, the “Bylaws”). For the election of directors, the persons receiving the largest number of votes cast (up to and including the number of directors to be elected) shall be directors.
Section 2.07    Inspectors of Election. At each meeting of the stockholders, the chair of such meeting may appoint two inspectors of election. Each inspector of election so appointed shall first subscribe an oath or affirmation to execute the duties of an inspector of election at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Such inspectors of election, if any, may (a) ascertain the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each; (b) determine the number of shares represented at a meeting and the validity of the proxies or ballots; (c) count all votes and ballots; (d) determine any challenges made to any determination made by the inspectors; (e) certify in a report in writing to the secretary of such meeting the determination of the number of shares represented at the meeting and the results of all votes and ballots. An inspector of election need not be a stockholder of the Corporation, and any officer or employee of the Corporation may be an inspector of election on any question other than a vote for or against his or her election to any position with the Corporation or on any other question in which he or she may be directly interested.
Section 2.08    Notices of Meetings and Consents. Except as otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation or by the Nevada Revised Statutes (as amended from time to time, the “NRS”), a written notice of each annual and special meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of such meeting to each stockholder of record of the Corporation entitled to vote at such meeting by delivering such notice of meeting to such stockholder personally or depositing the same in the United States mail, postage prepaid, directed to him or her at the post office address shown upon the records of the Corporation. Service of
2



notice is complete upon mailing. Every notice of a meeting of stockholders shall state the place, date and hour of the meeting, the means of electronic communication, if any, by which the stockholder or the proxies thereof shall be deemed to be present and vote and, in the case of a special meeting the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called. The notice shall be delivered in accordance with, and shall contain or be accompanied by such additional information as may be required by, the NRS, including, without limitation, NRS 78.379, 92A.120 or 92A.410
Section 2.09    Proxies. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may authorize a proxy to represent him or her at the meeting by an instrument executed in writing. Each such proxy shall be valid until its expiration or revocation in a manner permitted by the laws of the State of Nevada. A proxy may be irrevocable if it states that it is irrevocable and, if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest sufficient to support an irrevocable power. Subject to the above, any proxy may be revoked if an instrument or transmission revoking it or a properly created proxy bearing a later date is filed with or transmitted to the Secretary or another person appointed by the Corporation to count the votes of stockholders and determine the validity of proxies and ballots, or, in the case of a meeting of stockholders, the stockholder revokes the proxy by attending the meeting and voting the stockholder’s shares in person, in which case, any vote cast by the person or persons designated by the stockholder to act as a proxy or proxies must be disregarded by the Corporation when the votes are counted. In the event the Corporation receives proxies for disqualified or withdrawn nominees for the Board of Directors, such votes for disqualified or withdrawn nominees in the proxies will be treated as abstentions. To the extent any stockholder uses its own proxy card in connection with directly or indirectly soliciting proxies from other stockholders, such proxy card must use a proxy card other than white, which shall be reserved for the exclusive use by the Board of Directors.
Section 2.10    Waiver of Notice. Notice of any annual or special meeting may be waived either before, at or after such meeting in writing signed or by transmission of an electronic record by the person or persons entitled to the notice. Attendance of a person at a meeting shall constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a meeting for the express purpose of objecting at the beginning of the meeting to the transacting of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.
Section 2.11    Written Action. Any action that may be taken at a meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote, if a consent in writing, setting forth the actions so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be required to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.
Section 2.12    Order of Business.
(a)    Annual Meetings of Stockholders. At any annual or special meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted or considered (including, in the case of an annual meeting, nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors), as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For such business to be properly brought before an annual meeting, nominations and proposals of other business must be: (a) specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting (or any supplement thereto) given by or at the direction of the Board of Directors, (b) otherwise properly brought before such meeting, by or at the direction of the Board of Directors
3



or (c) otherwise properly requested to be brought before such meeting by a stockholder of the Corporation in accordance with these Bylaws.

Directors need not be stockholders. Each director shall hold office until the annual meeting of stockholders next held after his or her election or until the stockholders have elected directors by consent in writing without a meeting and until his or her successor is elected and qualified or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal.

Notice shall be effective upon receipt.
Section 3.07    Waiver of Notice. Notice of any meeting of the Board of Directors may be waived either before, at, or after such meeting in writing signed by each director.

Section 3.08    Quorum and Voting. A majority of the directors then in office shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business. The vote of a majority of the directors present at a meeting at which a quorum is present shall be the act of the Board of Directors unless these Bylaws, the Articles of Incorporation or the NRS require a greater number.
Section 3.09    Vacancies. Any vacancy among the directors or increase in the authorized number of directors shall be filled for the unexpired term by the majority vote of the directors then in office though less than a quorum or by the sole remaining director.

Section 3.10    Removal.

The Board of Directors may designate one or more directors as alternate members of any committee, who may replace any absent or disqualified member at any
7



meeting of the committee. In the absence or disqualification of any member of such committee or committees, the member or members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from voting, whether or not constituting a quorum, may unanimously appoint another member of the Board of Directors to act at the meeting in the place of any such absent or disqualified member. Such committee or committees shall have such name or names as may be determined by the resolution adopted by the directors. The committees shall keep regular minutes of their proceedings and report the same to the Board of Directors when required. Unless otherwise provided for in a resolution of the Board of Directors designating a committee pursuant to this Section 3.11: (i) a majority of the authorized number of members of such committee shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business of such committee and (ii) the vote of a majority of the members of such committee present at a meeting of such committee at which a quorum is present shall be the act of such committee except where otherwise required by these Bylaws or the charter of such committee.

Any action required or permitted to be taken at a meeting of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if, before or after the action, all directors or committee members consent thereto in writing. The written consent may be signed manually or electronically (or by any other means then permitted under the NRS), and may be so signed in counterparts, including, without limitation, facsimile or email counterparts, and the written consent shall be filed with the minutes of proceedings of the Board of Directors or committee.
Section 3.13    Compensation. Directors who are not salaried officers of the Corporation may receive a fixed sum per meeting attended or a fixed annual sum, or both, and such other forms of reasonable compensation as may be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

(iii)    If a Prohibited Transfer has occurred: (1) the Prohibited Transfer and, if applicable, the registration of such Prohibited Transfer, shall be void ab initio and have no legal effect, (2) the Purported Transferee shall be bound by the terms of the Redemption Notice and Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation with respect to the Invalid Securities purportedly Transferred, (3) the Redemption Notice shall thereafter constitute a binding agreement on the part of the Corporation to redeem, and on the part of the Purported Transferee to sell, the Invalid Securities in accordance with Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation (such redemption and sale, the “Purported Transferee Redemption”) and (4) the Purported Transferee Redemption shall thereafter be effectuated in accordance with paragraph (A)(2) of Article VIII of the Articles of Incorporation (including, for the avoidance of doubt, at the date, time and place specified in the Redemption Notice and at the Redemption Price (as defined in paragraph (J)(7) of the Articles of Incorporation) determined by reference to the original Purchase Price (as defined in paragraph (J)(6) of the Articles of Incorporation) of the Disqualified Holder to whom the Redemption Notice was given); provided that the Corporation shall pay the Redemption Price of any Invalid Securities redeemed in a Purported Transferee Redemption to the Purported Transferee of the Invalid Securities so redeemed, in which case such payment shall extinguish any obligation of the Corporation to make payment in respect of such Invalid Securities to the Disqualified Holder that effectuated the applicable Prohibited Transfer; provided further that if the date specified in the Redemption Notice shall have already passed, the Purported Transferee Redemption shall take place at such date and time as the Corporation reasonably selects by notice to the Purported Transferee.
(iv)    The recourse of any Purported Transferee to the Corporation in respect of any Prohibited Transfer shall be limited to the Redemption Price as determined in accordance with Section 8.05(d)(3).

Nothing in this Section 8.05(d) shall (a) be deemed inconsistent with any Prohibited Transfer of the Invalid Securities provided in this Section 8.05 being void ab initio or (b) preclude the Corporation in its discretion from immediately bringing legal proceedings without a prior demand.
(e)    Liability. To the fullest extent permitted by law, any security holder subject to the provisions of this Section 8.05 who violates the provisions of this Section 8.05 and any Persons controlling, controlled by or under common control with such security holder shall be jointly and severally liable to the Corporation for, and shall indemnify and hold the Corporation harmless against, any and all damages suffered as a result of such violation, including, but not limited to, damages resulting from the Corporation’s inability to secure and maintain in good

Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of the Business
We are a leading cross-platform global games company with a focus on content and digital markets. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities primarily includes supplying game content and gaming machines, CMSs and table game products and services to licensed gaming entities; providing social casino and other mobile games, including casual gaming, to retail customers; and providing a comprehensive suite of digital gaming content, distribution platforms, player account management systems, as well as various other iGaming content and services. We report our results of operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services.
Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “LNW.” Our common stock is also listed as CDIs on the ASX and commenced active trading on May 22, 2023 (AEST) under the ticker symbol “LNW.”
On August 8, 2023, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the remaining equity interest in SciPlay not already owned by us (approximately 17%) pursuant to a merger in which SciPlay’s shareholders will receive $22.95 for each share of SciPlay Class A common stock they own (subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement, dated as of August 8, 2023, by and among L&W, Bern Merger Sub, Inc. and SciPlay (the “Merger Agreement”)) in an all-cash transaction (valued at approximately $500 million subject to the total count of outstanding SciPlay Class A shares at closing) (the “SciPlay Acquisition”). Following the execution of the Merger Agreement, the wholly owned subsidiary of L&W holding approximately 98% of the voting power of the outstanding shares of SciPlay common stock delivered to SciPlay a written consent approving the Merger Agreement and the SciPlay Acquisition. This transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of 2023, subject to customary closing conditions. As a result of the SciPlay Acquisition, SciPlay will cease to be publicly traded and will become a wholly owned subsidiary of L&W.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for SciPlay and L&W, including the right of either party to terminate the Merger Agreement if the SciPlay Acquisition is not consummated on or before February 8, 2024.
We completed the sales of our former Lottery Business and Sports Betting Business during the second and third quarters of 2022, respectively. We have reflected the prior period financial results of these Divested Businesses as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 2 for further information. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures included herein relate to our continuing operations.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of L&W, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of L&W and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2022 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K.
Other (Expense) Income, net
Other (expense) income, net includes gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, interest income, earnings (losses) from equity investments and other items. Other (expense) income, net for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily consisted of foreign currency transaction losses which totaled $25 million and $38 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, foreign currency transaction gains were $2 million, and they were not material for the three months ended June 30, 2022.
Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Attributable to L&W Per Share
Basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to L&W per share are based upon net income (loss) attributable to L&W divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income attributable to L&W per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and RSUs only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive to net income from continuing operations.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, we included 2 million of common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted net income attributable to L&W per share. Basic and diluted net loss attributable to L&W per share were the same for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, as all common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for those periods. We excluded 2 million of stock options and 2 million of RSUs outstanding from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.
New Accounting Guidance
There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since those described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We completed the Divestitures in 2022 and reflected the prior period financial results of the Divested Businesses as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations.

(1) Contract liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.
The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on our consolidated balance sheets. Other than contracts with customers with financing arrangements exceeding 12 months, revenue recognition is generally proximal to conversion to cash. The following table summarizes our balances in these accounts for the periods indicated (other than contract liabilities disclosed above):

As of June 30, 2023, we did not have material unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts expected to be long-term or contracts for which we recognize revenue at an amount other than for which we have the right to invoice for goods or services delivered or performed.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Business Segments We report our operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. A detailed discussion regarding the products and services from which each reportable business segment derives its revenue is included in Notes 3 and 4 in our 2022 10-K.
In evaluating financial performance, our Chief Operating Decision Maker focuses on AEBITDA as management’s primary segment measure of profit or loss, which is described in footnote (2) to the below table. The accounting policies of our business segments are the same as those described within the Notes in our 2022 10-K. The following tables present our segment information:

As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 3% of our total receivables, net, were past due by over 90 days.
Credit Quality of Receivables
We have certain concentrations of outstanding receivables in international locations that impact our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. We monitor the macroeconomic and political environment in each of these locations in our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. The international customers with significant concentrations (generally deemed to be exceeding 10%) of our receivables with terms longer than one year are primarily in the Latin America region (“LATAM”) and are primarily comprised of Mexico, Peru and Argentina. The following table summarizes our LATAM receivables:

Receivables$64 $41 $23 
Allowance for credit losses(19)(10)(9)
Receivables, net$45 $31 $14 
We continuously review receivables and, as information concerning credit quality arise, reassess our expectations of future losses and record an incremental reserve if warranted at that time. Our current allowance for credit losses represents our current expectation of credit losses; however, future expectations could change as international unrest or other macro-economic factors impact the financial stability of our customers.
The fair value of receivables is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the fair value of receivables, net, approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms of receivables generally being less than 24 months.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are described below.
Derivative Financial Instruments
As of June 30, 2023, we held the following derivative instruments that were accounted for pursuant to ASC 815:
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
We use interest rate swap contracts as described below to mitigate gains or losses associated with the change in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt.
In April 2022, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our new variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we pay. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. We pay interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.8320% and receive interest at a variable rate equal to one-month Chicago Mercantile Exchange Term SOFR. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps was $700 million as of June 30, 2023. These hedges mature in April 2027. We also previously had interest rate swap contracts that matured in February 2022.
All gains and losses from these hedges were recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) until the future underlying payment transactions occur. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the hedges were recognized (together with the hedged transaction) as interest expense. We estimated the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts by discounting the future cash flows of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest payments based on market yield curves. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as established by ASC 820.
The following table shows the gain and interest expense recognized on our interest rate swap contracts:

Interest income (expense) recorded related to interest rate swap contracts (3)(6)

Contingent Acquisition Consideration Liabilities
In connection with our acquisitions, we have recorded certain contingent consideration liabilities (including redeemable non-controlling interest), of which the values are primarily based on reaching certain earnings-based metrics. The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on their respective acquisition dates as a part of the consideration transferred and are remeasured each reporting period (other than for redeemable non-controlling interest, which is measured based on its redemption value). The inputs used to measure the fair value of our liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

unvested RSUs that will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years. The fair value at vesting date of RSUs vested during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 was $51 million and $62 million, respectively.
Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Rights Agreement
The 2018 Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, as described in Note 17 of our 2022 10-K, expired on June 19, 2023. Immediately prior to its expiration, no shares of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were outstanding and no preferred share purchase rights had been exercised. At the time of the expiration of the agreement, the preferred share purchase rights expired and are no longer outstanding.
Share Repurchase Programs
On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase, from time to time through February 25, 2025, up to an aggregate amount of $750 million of our outstanding common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we repurchased 0.6 million shares of common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $33 million.
On May 9, 2022, SciPlay’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 9, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of its outstanding Class A common stock.

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]  
Income Taxes
We consider new evidence (both positive and negative) at each reporting date that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. We evaluate information such as historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in our analysis. Based on the available evidence, valuation allowances in certain U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions remain consistent as of June 30, 2023.
Our income tax expense (including discrete items) was $15 million and $14 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively, and $1 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively. In 2023, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of certain non-deductible items including foreign exchange losses, partially mitigated by tax benefits from internal restructuring transactions in the first quarter of 2023. In all periods, we recorded tax expense relative to pre-tax earnings in jurisdictions without valuation allowances, including our 17% noncontrolling interest in SciPlay.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]  
Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings, which are described below.
We record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated (although, as discussed below, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the accrued liability). We evaluate our accruals for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect (1) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments, (2) the advice and analyses of counsel and (3) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with our legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. We had accrued liabilities of $11 million for all of our legal matters that were contingencies as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Substantially all of our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Consequently, the ultimate outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued. We may be unable to estimate a range of possible losses for some matters pending against us or our subsidiaries, even when the amount of damages claimed against us or our subsidiaries is stated because, among other things: (1) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (2) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (3) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (4) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (5) the matter may not have progressed sufficiently through discovery or there may be significant factual or legal issues to be resolved or developed; and/or (6) there may be uncertainty as to the enforceability of legal judgments and outcomes in certain jurisdictions. Other matters have progressed sufficiently that we are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For those legal contingencies disclosed herein as well as those related to the previously disclosed settlement agreement entered into in February 2015 with SNAI S.p.a., as to which a loss is reasonably possible, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, and for which we are able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is up to approximately $13 million in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) related to those legal contingencies. This aggregate range represents management’s estimate of additional possible loss in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) with respect to these matters based on currently available information, including any damages claimed by the plaintiffs, and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and inherent uncertainties. For example, at the time of making an estimate, management may have only preliminary, incomplete, or
inaccurate information about the facts underlying a claim; its assumptions about the future rulings of the court or other tribunal on significant issues, or the behavior and incentives of adverse parties, regulators, indemnitors or co‑defendants, may prove to be wrong; and the outcomes it is attempting to predict are often not amenable to the use of statistical or other quantitative analytical tools. In addition, from time to time an outcome may occur that management had not accounted for in its estimate because it had considered that outcome to be remote. Furthermore, as noted above, the aggregate range does not include any matters for which we are not able to estimate a range of possible loss. Accordingly, the estimated aggregate range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Any such losses could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The legal proceedings underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
Colombia Litigation
Our subsidiary, LNWI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under a contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successors, “Ecosalud”), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, LNWI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5.0 million if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, LNWI delivered to Ecosalud a $4.0 million surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech’s exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, 1993.
In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, LNWI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. LNWI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the “Tribunal”), which upheld both resolutions. LNWI appealed each decision to the Council of State. In May 2012, the Council of State upheld the contract default resolution, which decision was notified to us in August 2012. In October 2013, the Council of State upheld the liquidation resolution, which decision was notified to us in December 2013.
In July 1996, Ecosalud filed a lawsuit against LNWI in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia asserting many of the same claims asserted in the Colombia proceedings, including breach of contract, and seeking damages. In March 1997, the District Court dismissed Ecosalud’s claims. Ecosalud appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision in 1998.
In June 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against LNWI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In May 2013, the Tribunal denied LNWI’s merit defenses to the collection proceeding and issued an order of payment of approximately 90 billion Colombian pesos, or approximately $30 million, plus default interest (potentially accrued since 1994 at a 12% statutory interest rate). LNWI filed an appeal to the Council of State, and on December 10, 2020, the Council of State issued a ruling affirming the Tribunal’s decision. On December 16, 2020, LNWI filed a motion for clarification of the Council of State’s ruling, which was denied on April 15, 2021. On April 22, 2021, LNWI filed a motion for reconsideration relating to that decision, which the Council of State denied on February 21, 2022. On May 24, 2022, the case was transferred from the Council of State to the Tribunal for further proceedings. On August 18, 2022, LNWI filed a constitutional challenge to the Council of State’s December 10, 2020 decision with that court, which was denied on October 7, 2022. On December 7, 2022, LNWI filed an appeal with the Council of State from the denial of the constitutional challenge, which was denied on May 24, 2023. On June 28, 2023, the Columbian Constitutional Court received the record of the constitutional appeal for further consideration.
LNWI believes it has various defenses, including on the merits, against Ecosalud’s claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and we cannot assure that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability.
TCS John Huxley Matter
On March 15, 2019, TCS John Huxley America, Inc., TCS John Huxley Europe Ltd., TCS John Huxley Asia Ltd., and Taiwan Fulgent Enterprise Co., Ltd. brought a civil action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. and South African patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold to regulated casinos in the United States. On April 10, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’
complaint with prejudice. On April 25, 2019, the district court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss without prejudice pursuant to the court’s local rules, after the plaintiffs advised that they intended to file an amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on May 3, 2019, and on May 22, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint with prejudice. On March 20, 2020, the district court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint, and defendants filed an answer to the plaintiffs’ amended complaint on June 19, 2020. On June 3, 2020, the trial court granted the defendants’ request to bifurcate proceedings in the case, with discovery to occur first into the statute of limitations and release defenses asserted by the defendants in their motion to dismiss, before proceeding into broader discovery. The trial court set a September 18, 2020, deadline for the parties to complete discovery relating to the statute of limitations and release defenses. On October 28, 2020, the court issued an order extending until January 15, 2021 the deadline for the parties to complete discovery relating to the statute of limitations defense. On February 9, 2021, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on their statute of limitations defense, addressing whether plaintiffs had actual knowledge of their claims prior to the start of the limitations period. The district court denied that motion for summary judgment on September 20, 2021. On January 13, 2023, the district court entered an order requiring, among other things, that the plaintiffs make a formal written settlement demand by January 20, 2023, that the defendants respond to that demand in writing by January 27, 2023, and that the parties file a status report by January 31, 2023 confirming that they have complied with the district court’s order. On January 31, 2023, the parties filed a joint status report confirming that they have complied with the district court’s order to make and respond to a formal written demand. Discovery closed on June 1, 2023. On June 30, 2023, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, which is pending. We are unable at this time to estimate a range of reasonably possible losses above the amount we have accrued for this matter due to the complexity of the plaintiffs’ claims, and the unpredictability of the outcome of the proceedings in the district court, and on any appeal therefrom.
Tonkawa Tribe Matter
On September 3, 2020, the Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma d/b/a Tonkawa Enterprises filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. On October 5, 2020, the plaintiff filed a first amended complaint to add Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and the Umpqua Indian Development Corp., d/b/a Seven Feathers Casino as a plaintiff. On October 26, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for card shufflers sold or leased to regulated casinos in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all regulated United States casinos directly leasing or purchasing card shufflers from the defendants on or after April 1, 2009. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On November 19, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ second amended complaint or, in the alternative, to compel arbitration of plaintiffs’ claims. On November 20, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment, seeking a finding that defendants are collaterally estopped from re-litigating issues litigated in the 2018 litigation versus Shuffle Tech International Corp., Aces Up Gaming, and Poydras-Talrick Holdings. On August 27, 2021, the Nevada district court entered an order transferring the lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On May 19, 2022, the Illinois district court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration of plaintiffs’ individual claims; stayed all proceedings in the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitral process; and accordingly dismissed all pending motions without prejudice as moot. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Giuliano and Rancho’s Club Casino Matter
On September 4, 2020, Alfred T. Giuliano, as liquidation trustee for RIH Acquisition NJ, LLC d/b/a The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the Defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On September 8, 2020, Rancho’s Club Casino, Inc., d/b/a Magnolia House Casino filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiff asserts federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiff alleges that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United
States from the defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest.
On October 29, 2020, the trial court consolidated the Giuliano and Rancho’s Club Casino matters. On October 30, 2020, the plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a first amended consolidated complaint. On November 9, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ first amended consolidated complaint, and also filed a motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano’s individual claims. On May 19, 2022, the Illinois district court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration; stayed all proceedings in the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitral process; and accordingly dismissed all pending motions without prejudice. On May 31, 2022, defendants filed a motion to lift the stay of the lawsuit for the limited purpose of amending the court’s May 19, 2022 order to confirm that plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano must proceed to arbitration on an individual basis rather than a class-wide basis. On June 10, 2022, plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano filed a notice of voluntary dismissal without prejudice, and the court therefore denied as moot defendants’ motion to lift the stay in an order entered on March 28, 2023. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the consolidated lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
In re Automatic Card Shufflers Litigation Matter
On April 2, 2021, Casino Queen, Inc. and Casino Queen Marquette, Inc. filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiffs’ costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On June 11, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ complaint, which the court denied on May 19, 2022. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Mohawk Gaming Enterprises Matter
On November 9, 2020, Mohawk Gaming Enterprises LLC, d/b/a Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, filed a demand for a putative class arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and LNW Gaming, Inc., f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. (“Respondents”). In the complaint, the claimant asserts federal antitrust claims arising from the respondents’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The claimant alleges that the respondents used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The claimant seeks to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the respondents, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the arbitration panel to treble, and the award of claimant’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees. Respondents filed their answering statement on December 9, 2020. On October 29, 2021, the claimant filed a memorandum in support of class arbitration, which Respondents opposed on December 3, 2021. On February 8, 2022, the Arbitrator issued a clause construction award, finding that the arbitration could proceed on behalf of a class or classes. On February 11, 2022, Respondents filed a petition to vacate the award in the New York Supreme Court. The Court denied Respondents’ petition on August 9, 2022, and on August 16, 2022, Respondents appealed to the New York Appellate Division, First Department, which denied Respondents’ appeal on June 22, 2023. On April 15, 2022, Respondents filed a motion to dismiss the claimant’s complaint, which the Arbitrator denied on July 26, 2022. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Boorn Matter
On September 15, 2022, plaintiff Hannelore Boorn filed a putative class action against L&W, SciPlay Corporation, and Appchi Media Ltd. in the Fayette Circuit Court of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. In her complaint, plaintiff seeks to represent a putative class of all persons in Kentucky who, within the past five years, purchased and allegedly lost $5.00 or more worth of chips, in a 24-hour period, playing SciPlay’s online social casino games. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Kentucky’s “recovery of gambling losses” statute and for unjust enrichment, and seeks unspecified money damages, the award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, pre- and post-judgment interest, and injunctive and/or other declaratory relief. On October 18, 2022, defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the Eastern
District of Kentucky. On October 26, 2022, the plaintiff filed a notice voluntarily dismissing the lawsuit without prejudice. On October 27, 2022, the district court entered an order dismissing the lawsuit. On November 17, 2022, the plaintiff filed an arbitration demand against defendants before the American Arbitration Association, pursuant to which she seeks declaratory judgments that (1) SciPlay’s online social casino games constitute gambling under Kentucky law, and (2) SciPlay’s terms of service are void under Kentucky law. On January 12, 2023, the respondents filed their answering statement to plaintiff’s arbitration demand. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Allah Beautiful Matter
On December 19, 2022, claimant Prince Imanifest Allah Beautiful filed an arbitration demand against respondent SciPlay Corporation before the American Arbitration Association. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of New Jersey’s anti-gambling statutes and seeks unspecified money damages, including recovery of monies allegedly lost by New Jersey players of SciPlay’s online social casino games other than the claimant. On March 7, 2023, the respondent filed its answering statement to claimant’s arbitration demand. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Sprinkle Matter
On December 12, 2022, claimant Matthew Sprinkle filed an arbitration demand against respondent SciPlay Corporation before the American Arbitration Association. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Ohio’s anti-gambling statutes and seeks unspecified money damages, including recovery of monies allegedly lost by Ohio players of SciPlay’s online social casino games other than the claimant. On March 7, 2023, the respondent filed its answering statement to claimant’s arbitration demand. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the arbitration demand are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Sornberger Matter
On March 8, 2023, plaintiff Andrea Sornberger filed a complaint against SciPlay Corporation and SciPlay Games, LLC in the Circuit Court of the Franklin County, Alabama. The complaint asserts claims for alleged violations of Alabama anti-gambling statutes and seeks unspecified money damages, including recovery of monies allegedly lost by Alabama players of SciPlay’s online social casino games other than the plaintiff, the award of interests and costs, and injunctive and other relief. On April 12, 2023, defendants removed the action to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Alabama. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]  
Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of L&W, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Principles of Consolidation In the opinion of L&W and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2022 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K.
Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Income Attributable to L&W Per Share Basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to L&W per share are based upon net income (loss) attributable to L&W divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income attributable to L&W per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and RSUs only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive to net income from continuing operations.
New Accounting Guidance There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since those described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Commitments and Contingencies
We record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated (although, as discussed below, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the accrued liability). We evaluate our accruals for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect (1) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments, (2) the advice and analyses of counsel and (3) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with our legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. We had accrued liabilities of $11 million for all of our legal matters that were contingencies as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
Substantially all of our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Consequently, the ultimate outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued. We may be unable to estimate a range of possible losses for some matters pending against us or our subsidiaries, even when the amount of damages claimed against us or our subsidiaries is stated because, among other things: (1) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (2) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (3) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (4) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (5) the matter may not have progressed sufficiently through discovery or there may be significant factual or legal issues to be resolved or developed; and/or (6) there may be uncertainty as to the enforceability of legal judgments and outcomes in certain jurisdictions. Other matters have progressed sufficiently that we are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For those legal contingencies disclosed herein as well as those related to the previously disclosed settlement agreement entered into in February 2015 with SNAI S.p.a., as to which a loss is reasonably possible, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, and for which we are able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is up to approximately $13 million in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) related to those legal contingencies. This aggregate range represents management’s estimate of additional possible loss in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) with respect to these matters based on currently available information, including any damages claimed by the plaintiffs, and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and inherent uncertainties. For example, at the time of making an estimate, management may have only preliminary, incomplete, or
inaccurate information about the facts underlying a claim; its assumptions about the future rulings of the court or other tribunal on significant issues, or the behavior and incentives of adverse parties, regulators, indemnitors or co‑defendants, may prove to be wrong; and the outcomes it is attempting to predict are often not amenable to the use of statistical or other quantitative analytical tools. In addition, from time to time an outcome may occur that management had not accounted for in its estimate because it had considered that outcome to be remote. Furthermore, as noted above, the aggregate range does not include any matters for which we are not able to estimate a range of possible loss. Accordingly, the estimated aggregate range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Any such losses could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The legal proceedings underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
