International Game Technology PLC Reports Fourth Quarter And Full Year 2018 Results
Reading Time: 24 minutes

 

2018 full year net loss of $21 million includes $120 million of non-cash impairment charges; 2018 Adjusted EBITDA of $1,737 million within expected range when normalized for FX

 

International Game Technology PLC today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2018. Today, at 8:00 a.m. EST, management will host a conference call and webcast to present the fourth quarter and full year results; access details are provided below.

“Our 2018 results are in line with the improved outlook we provided in October. The year was characterized by strong global Lottery performance, resilience in Italy, and progress in North America Gaming,” said Marco Sala, CEO of IGT. “We’ve established solid foundations to build on – securing large, long-term Lottery contracts in key markets and executing a full refresh of our gaming machine cabinet and content portfolio. These efforts will translate into improved free cash flow beginning in 2019.”

“We achieved 4% Adjusted EBITDA growth on stable revenue at constant currency and scope in 2018,” said Alberto Fornaro, CFO of IGT. “We managed our net debt effectively, while making large upfront payments for a key Lottery license in Italy, investing in long-term North America Lottery contracts, and returning capital to shareholders through dividends. Our outlook for 2019 Adjusted EBITDA of $1.70$1.76 billion assumes underlying growth for our core Lottery and Gaming businesses.”

Comparability of Results

All figures presented in this news release are prepared under U.S. GAAP, unless noted otherwise. Adjusted figures exclude the impact of items such as purchase accounting, impairment charges, restructuring expense, foreign exchange, and certain one-time, primarily transaction-related items. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measures are included in the tables in this news release. Constant currency changes for 2018 are calculated using the same foreign exchange rates as the corresponding 2017 period. Management uses non-GAAP financial measures to understand and compare operating results across accounting periods, for internal budgeting and forecasting purposes, and to evaluate the Company’s financial performance. Management believes these non-GAAP financial measures reflect the Company’s ongoing business in a manner that allows for meaningful period-to-period comparisons and analysis of business trends. These constant currency changes and non-GAAP financial measures should however be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, the Company’s reported results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

(a) Adjustments for income taxes are determined based on the statutory tax rate in effect in the respective jurisdiction where the adjustment originated.



























(b) As Reported includes a net $103.6 million one-time, non-cash income tax benefit related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) composed of (i) a $64.4 million non-cash income tax expense for the restatement of deferred tax assets and a $239.2 million non-cash income tax benefit for the restatement of deferred tax liabilities related to Purchase Accounting, both driven by the decrease in the income tax rate from 35% to 21% and (ii) a $71.2 million non-cash income tax expense in 2017 associated with unremitted foreign earnings. Separate from the Tax Act, As Reported includes a $73.3 million one-time, non-cash tax expense for the write-off of a deferred tax asset related primarily to unrealized foreign exchange losses.



























(c) As Adjusted excludes the $239.2 million non-cash income tax benefit for the restatement of deferred tax liabilities related to Purchase Accounting and the $73.3 million one-time, non-cash tax expense for the write-of of a deferred tax asset related primarily to unrealized foreign exchange losses.

(a) Adjustments for income taxes are determined based on the statutory tax rate in effect in the respective jurisdiction where the adjustment originated.



























(b) As Reported includes a net $103.6 million one-time, non-cash income tax benefit related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) composed of (i) a $64.4 million non-cash income tax expense for the restatement of deferred tax assets and a $239.2 million non-cash income tax benefit for the restatement of deferred tax liabilities related to Purchase Accounting, both driven by the decrease in the income tax rate from 35% to 21% and (ii) a $71.2 million non-cash income tax expense in 2017 associated with unremitted foreign earnings. Separate from the Tax Act, As Reported includes a $73.3 million one-time, non-cash tax expense for the write-off of a deferred tax asset related primarily to unrealized foreign exchange losses.



























(c) As Adjusted excludes the $239.2 million non-cash income tax benefit for the restatement of deferred tax liabilities related to Purchase Accounting and the $73.3 million one-time, non-cash tax expense for the write-of of a deferred tax asset related primarily to unrealized foreign exchange losses.



























(d) Weighted-average shares – diluted, as adjusted, include shares that were excluded from the as reported computation, due to the net loss as reported.
