Full Tilt Poker
LAS VEGAS, July 27 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT) announced today operating results for the third quarter ended June 30, 2010. Income from continuing operations for the quarter was $94.6 million or $0.32 per diluted share versus $62.2 million or $0.21 per diluted share in the same quarter last year. The current quarter benefited from certain discrete tax items of $36.7 million or $0.12 per diluted share, offset by restructuring charges of $2.7 million and debt refinancing costs of $4.0 million, collectively $0.01 per diluted share. The favorable discrete tax items recognized in the third quarter of fiscal 2010 primarily related to the IRS audit closure for the fiscal years 2002 through 2005, partially offset by changes in our uncertain tax liabilities. The prior year quarter included restructuring charges of $3.0 million and net debt refinancing charges of $6.2 million, collectively $0.02 per diluted share. Excluding the items noted above, third quarter adjusted income from continuing operations was $61.9 million or $0.21 per diluted share for fiscal 2010 and $67.4 million or $0.23 per diluted share for fiscal 2009. A reconciliation of our GAAP results to non-GAAP results is included in this press release.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, income from continuing operations was $189.3 million or $0.63 per diluted share versus $159.6 million or $0.54 per diluted share for the first nine months last year. Comparability for both the quarter and nine-month periods was affected by a number of items outlined in a supplemental reconciliation of adjusted income from continuing operations at the end of this release. All prior periods presented included adjustments for the retrospective application of accounting standards adopted at the beginning of fiscal 2010, primarily related to the separation of liability and equity elements of our convertible debt. The retrospective adjustments, outlined in a supplemental schedule at the end of this release, impacted interest expense, earnings per share, long-term debt, and shareholders' equity.

Third quarter net income, including discontinued operations related to the closure of our Japan operations, totaled $92.1 million or $0.31 per diluted share versus $60.6 million or $0.20 per diluted share for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, net income totaled $166.1 million or $0.55 per diluted share compared to $155.4 million or $0.53 per diluted share in the prior year period.

"Our third quarter results reflect meaningful progress at IGT," said CEO Patti Hart. "Despite challenges in the broader marketplace, we continue to manage our business to increasing levels of efficiencies. Our efforts have resulted in the generation of significant cash flow for reinvestment into the business in areas that create innovative and customer centric products and services."

Consolidated Operations

Our consolidated revenues for the third quarter were $489.7 million, of which 56% was generated from gaming operations and 44% from product sales, compared to $517.3 million for the same quarter last year. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, consolidated revenues were $1.5 billion compared to $1.6 billion in the same period last year. Consolidated gross profit and operating income for the third quarter were $275.9 million and $120.2 million, respectively, compared to $295.8 million and $127.0 million in the prior year quarter. For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, consolidated gross profit and operating income were $844.2 million and $319.5 million, respectively, compared to $859.0 million and $301.1 million for the same period last year.

Gaming Operations

Third quarter revenues and gross profit from gaming operations totaled $276.6 million and $161.3 million, respectively, compared to $286.7 million and $178.3 million for the same quarter last year. Revenues decreased primarily due to a lower installed base and the continued shift toward lower-yielding machines. For the current quarter, gross margins on gaming operations declined to 58% compared to 62% for the same quarter last year, primarily due to increased jackpot expense resulting from interest rate changes. Interest rate change on jackpot liabilities increased jackpot expense by $6.2 million in this year's third quarter and decreased jackpot expense by $3.4 million in the prior year quarter.

As of June 30, 2010, IGT's gaming operations installed base totaled 58,900 units, an increase of 100 units from the immediately preceding quarter and a decrease of 2,200 units over the prior year quarter. North America decreases over the prior year, largely attributable to regulatory issues in Alabama, were partially offset by increases in international markets. As of June 30, 2010, approximately 83% of our installed base was comprised of variable fee games, which earn a percentage of machine play levels rather than a fixed daily fee.

Product sales revenues and gross profit in the third quarter decreased 8% and 2%, respectively, and units shipped worldwide decreased 29% over the prior year quarter. North America revenues decreased 16% for the quarter, largely driven by fewer new openings. International revenues increased 8% for the quarter, primarily due to favorable foreign currency exchange, as well as the opening of Marina Bay Sands in Singapore and improved sales in Mexico. Consolidated gross margin on product sales for the quarter improved to 54% compared to 51% in the prior year quarter, primarily due to reduced material costs and an increased mix of higher-margin non-machine products.

Deferred revenue decreased $10.2 million during the quarter to $91.8 million at June 30, 2010. The adoption of revenue recognition accounting standards related to certain software-enabled products and multi-element arrangements as of the beginning of fiscal 2010 resulted in the recognition of $7.9 million of revenues in the current quarter which would have been recognized in different periods under the prior guidance.

Units shipped for the current and prior periods reflect all units shipped to customers and include units for which revenues have been deferred. "Equivalent units recognized" represents units recognized in revenues during the periods under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles and includes units for which revenues were previously deferred. We have included in the table above a reconciliation of units shipped to units recognized in revenue for each period presented.

Operating Expenses and Other Income/Expense

Third quarter operating expenses decreased 8% to $155.7 million compared to $168.8 million in the prior year quarter, primarily due to our cost reduction efforts. Professional fees also decreased due to debt refinancing costs of $1.8 million included in the prior year quarter.

Other expense, net, in the third quarter decreased to $24.2 million compared to $26.0 million in the prior year quarter, largely attributable to foreign currency gains and reduced interest expense on lower borrowings. Third quarter interest expense included debt refinancing charges of $4.0 million in the current third quarter and $4.4 million in the prior year quarter. Our interest expense also included incremental non-cash charges of $6.8 million in the current quarter and $9.0 million in the prior year quarter, as a result of accounting guidance adopted at the beginning of fiscal 2010 that requires convertible debt interest to be calculated using a rate for similar non-convertible instruments.

Cash Flows, Balance Sheet and Capital Deployment

For the nine months ended June 30, 2010, IGT generated $423.8 million in cash from operations on net income of $166.1 million compared to $354.4 million on net income of $155.4 million for the first nine months last year.

Working capital decreased to $609.1 million at June 30, 2010 compared to $609.2 million at September 30, 2009. As of June 30, 2010, cash equivalents and short-term investments (inclusive of restricted amounts) totaled $251.9 million andcontractualdebt obligations totaled $1.9 billion, with $1.2 billion of available capacity on our $1.5 billion credit facility.

As previously announced, on June 3, 2010 IGT issued $300 million of 5.50% notes due June 2020. The net proceeds were used to pay down a portion of our domestic credit facility. In conjunction with this note offering, we reduced the total size of our domestic credit facility from $1.8 billion to $1.5 billion.

Our 3.25% convertible notes and warrants were excluded from diluted shares outstanding for the period ended June 30, 2010, because the conversion price and exercise price exceeded the average market price of our common stock.

Adjusted income from continuing operations is a     supplemental non-GAAP financial measure commonly used by     management and industry analysts to evaluate our financial     performance.  Adjusted income from continuing operations     should not be construed as an alternative to income from     continuing operations as an indicator of our operating     performance as determined in accordance with generally     accepted accounting principles.  All companies do not     calculate adjusted income from continuing operations in     the same manner and IGT's presentation may not be     comparable to those presented by other companies.
