Executive Comments

“We finished 2021 with positive momentum,” said Todd Cravens, President and CEO. “Even with some of our clients’ properties still affected by COVID-19, we delivered gross revenue of $6.1 million in the fourth quarter, a record. Our iGaming business performed very well, with iGaming gross revenues of $8.1 million in 2021, also a record. We believe, as the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic continue to subside for our clients, we will experience a strong recovery in our GG Core business (felt and electronics) and continued growth in our iGaming business.”

“Our financial position is strong,” said Harry Hagerty, the Company’s CFO. “We have significant cash balances and modest debt maturities this year. We are prohibited from paying dividends or repurchasing stock until November of this year due to continuing restrictions imposed by the Main Street Priority Loan repaid last year. While we will remain responsive, we intend to continue to build up our cash position to keep net leverage low. Total Net Leverage is the only financial covenant in our Fortress loan, and we were comfortably in compliance with that covenant at year-end.”

Hagerty added, “For fiscal 2022, we are forecasting revenue (net of iGaming royalties) in a range of $23.5 to $25.0 million, and Adjusted EBITDA in a range of $11.5 to $12.5 million. This forecast assumes no new lockdowns from COVID-19, no impact to our business from the war in Ukraine, and no economic recession.”

Governance Comments

“As we enter the 2022 calendar year, we look ahead in focusing the Company’s business efforts beyond on the severe negative existential impacts of the pandemic. We also, through substantial efforts of our collective team, set the Saucier litigation and related refinancing in our rear-view mirror in the midst of the tough operating environment of our customers which, in some cases, included complete closures. Additionally, in response to the significant increase in the price of our stock in 2021, we have decided to restructure Board compensation beyond the 35% reduction in equity compensation we recently announced,” stated Mark Lipparelli, Chair of the Galaxy Board. “We modified our methodology and targeted aggregate annual Board compensation for 2022 at the levels presented below, for all members, and intend to pay such compensation 60% in cash and 40% in stock. Cash compensation will be paid monthly in arrears and stock compensation will be paid quarterly in arrears, with the stock valued at the average daily closing price in the last month of the quarter. Ms. Kondra and Mr. Lipparelli will receive only the compensation presented below for their service as the Audit Committee Chair and Board Chair, respectively.”

Annual Compensation Target
Board Member Audit Committee Chair Board Chair
$150,000 $175,000 $200,000

“Using a share price of $4.45, the proposed Board compensation plan would result in 74,157 shares being issued to our five Directors in 2022. Based on the 23,718,968 shares outstanding on March 28, 2022, this represents projected dilution of approximately 3/10ths of one percent. We appreciate shareholders’ interest in and support for Galaxy, and we look forward to the Company’s future success together.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Adjusted EBITDA includes adjustments to net loss/income to exclude interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization, share based compensation, gain/loss on extinguishment of debt, foreign currency exchange gains/losses, change in estimated fair value of interest rate swap liability and severance and other expenses related to litigation. Gross revenue adds back royalty expense paid to owners of intellectual property re-licensed to our iGaming clients. Neither Gross Revenue or Adjusted EBITDA is a measure of performance defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). However, Gross Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA are used by management to evaluate our operating performance. Management believes that disclosure of the Gross Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA allows investors, regulators and other stakeholders to view of our operations in the way management does. Gross Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. Finally, Gross Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.

LAS VEGAS, March 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Galaxy Gaming, Inc. (OTCQB: GLXZ), a developer and distributor of casino table games and enhanced systems for land-based casinos and iGaming content, announced corrections to certain financial information provided in the earnings release issued on March 25, 2024.

In the table that provided guidance for fiscal 2024, the growth rate for Net Revenue was miscalculated. The calculated growth rate at the midpoint of the guidance range is 6.1%, not the 2.4% that was in the original release. A corrected table is presented below.

(mm) 2023 Actual   2024 Range   Midpoint Change
Recurring License Revenue $ 28.0     $34.0 – $35.0   23.2 %
Sale of Perpetual Licenses   3.7     1.0 – 1.5   (66.2 )%
Gross Revenue $ 31.7     $35.0 – $36.5   12.8 %
Royalties Netted against Gross Revenue   (3.9 )   (6.0 – 6.5)   60.3 %
Net Revenue $ 27.8     $29.0 – $30.0   6.1 %
           
Adjusted EBITDA4 $ 10.6     $12.0 – $13.0   17.9 %
 

In the Disaggregation of Revenue table in Exhibit 1, Recurring License Revenue in GG Digital for Q4 2022 was incorrect. That error flowed through to the consolidated revenue figures for that period. A corrected Exhibit 1 is attached hereto.

Executive Comments

“Q4 of 2023 marked a substantial improvement in operating results as compared to the previous quarter,” said Matt Reback, President and CEO. “We saw gross revenue increases of 25% and 23% in the quarter and the year, respectively, and our gross revenue in Q4 of 2023 was a record at $8.4 million.   We believe that the opportunistic sales of perpetual licenses peaked in 2023, and that we will return to a sustainable growth model relying principally on recurring revenue generated from our robust library of core and premium felt products, our emerging line of GOS products, and our iGaming business in 2024.

“We had a full quarter of license revenue from EZ Baccarat® in the fourth quarter. However, we were not able to complete the entire installation backlog of our EZ Baccarat Trend Displays, on which we pay no royalties, until February of 2024. We expect these displays will help grow revenue on both a gross and net basis in 2024.

“I am now 4 ½ months into my tenure at Galaxy, and I am very excited about the prospects for the Company. The addition of Michael Ratner as our EVP of Product will help us execute more crisply on product innovation, new product development, and efficient product release. Over the intermediate term, we will develop a strategic plan that will allow us to continue to deliver double-digit revenue growth rates through a combination of organic growth and potential tuck-in acquisitions,” concluded Reback.

With the addition of EZ Baccarat, revenues in our Core vertical now have a contra-revenue component as our Digital vertical has had,” stated Harry Hagerty, Galaxy’s CFO. “To provide additional information to our investors, we will now be disclosing revenue on a gross and net basis in both verticals, and we will also break out sales of perpetual licenses when they occur.

“We incurred some higher-than-planned shipping expenses in Q4 as we expedited the installation of EZ Baccarat displays. Intellectual property registration expenses also continued to be higher than historical levels as we expand the reach of our products into global markets. In our online business, we continue to see double-digit increase in demand for our games (as measured by the gaming revenue they generate). However, the growth in our gross revenue was affected during the back half of 2023 as a result of the renegotiation of royalty rates with Evolution in exchange for a long-term extension of our agreement with them. We reduced the level of our bad debt reserve as we made collection progress on some slow-moving accounts in the quarter. Finally, we have added back all of the expenses related to the Q4 CEO transition in calculating Adjusted EBITDA.

“Our cash position increased to $16.7 million at the end of Q4 as compared to $15.9 million at the end of Q3. However, both figures were below the balance at the end of 2022 as a result of higher-than-normal capital expenditures for our EZ Baccarat displays and $1.2 million of principal payments on our Fortress debt,” Hagerty continued. “Our loan from Fortress Credit Corp. requires our net leverage not to exceed 6.0x at any of the quarter-ends in 2023, and at the end of Q4 we were at 3.7x, comfortably in compliance.   The net leverage covenant steps down to 5.0x in 2024. It remains our intention to reduce our net leverage and to pursue refinancing opportunities.

We are offering the following guidance for fiscal 2024 with comparison to 2023. This guidance assumes no impact to our business from the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East, and no economic recession or pandemic and is a Forward-Looking statement subject to our safe harbor language below. Finally, the forecast is based on currency exchange rates that we experienced in the fourth quarter.”

(mm) 2023 Actual   2024 Range
  Midpoint Change
Recurring License Revenue $ 28.0     $34.0 – $35.0     23.2 %
Sale of Perpetual Licenses   3.7     1.0 – 1.5     (66.2 )%
Gross Revenue $ 31.7     $35.0 – $36.5     12.8 %
Royalties Netted against Gross Revenue   (3.9 )   (6.0 – 6.5)     60.3 %
Net Revenue $ 27.8     $29.0 – $30.0     2.4 %
             
Adjusted EBITDA4 $ 10.6     $12.0 – $13.0     17.9 %

Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). However, Adjusted EBITDA is used by management to evaluate our operating performance. Management believes that disclosure of Adjusted EBITDA allows investors, regulators, and other stakeholders to view our operations in the way management does.   Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity. Finally, Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
