Announced Strategic Acquisition of Grover Gaming's Charitable Gaming Business

Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) ("Light & Wonder," "L&W," "we" or the "Company") today reported results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

We closed another strong year, delivering record financial and operational performance and continuing our advancement toward our 2025 financial targets. For the full year 2024, the Company delivered:

Record full year consolidated revenue of $3.2 billion, increasing 10%, with annual growth driven by continued strong performance across all businesses.
- Gaming revenue increased to $2.1 billion, up 12%, driven by continued momentum in Gaming machine sales, which increased 22% primarily on market share gains in North America and Australia, coupled with Gaming systems growth of 13% driven by our innovative hardware and software solutions, and North American Gaming operations unit expansion driving 4% growth in Gaming Operations fueled by the improving performance of our diverse portfolio of hit franchises.
- SciPlay revenue rose to $821 million, up 6%, and once again outpaced social casino market revenue growth, delivered record payer metrics and expanded our direct-to-consumer high margin revenue channel, which was approximately 11% of total SciPlay revenue.
- iGaming revenue increased 9% to $299 million reflecting continued growth momentum in the U.S. and international markets driven by our industry-leading platforms and strong content launches.
Robust double-digit earnings growth with Operating income growth of 29%, Consolidated AEBITDA⁽¹⁾ growth of 11%, and Adjusted NPATA⁽¹⁾ growth of 24%.
Returned $462 million to shareholders through share repurchases as we fully completed our initial $750 million share repurchase program and completed approximately 29% of the new $1 billion share repurchase plan authorized in June 2024. Since initiation of the program in March of 2022, the Company has returned over $1 billion or 14.3 million shares or 15% of total outstanding shares prior to the commencement of the programs.

Matt Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Light & Wonder, said, "We ended a strong 2024 with continued double-digit revenue and earnings growth for the year. The Gaming machine sales share gains in North America and Australia this year are a testament to our R&D investment, commercial strategy and robust product roadmap. Furthermore, we have also realigned studio needs, adding more talent and expanding existing studios. Our recently announced strategic acquisition of Grover Gaming's charitable business enhances our cross-platform strategy and presence in regulated land-based markets, giving us a broader distribution base for our vast content library and accelerating our drive for sustainable future growth."

Oliver Chow, Chief Financial Officer of Light & Wonder, added, "Our healthy financial foundation gives us flexibility to deploy capital where it best drives long-term value consistent with our capital deployment framework. We expect that the acquisition of Grover Gaming's charitable business will contribute to our expansive recurring revenue base and is complementary and synergistic to our high margin and cash generative business, enhancing our growth profile and cross-platform strategy. We continue to see tremendous value in our shares and have executed a meaningful $462 million in share repurchases in 2024. We believe our healthy earnings growth and further optimization of our capital structure will continue to serve us well and provide stability as we expand the business globally."

LEVERAGE, CAPITAL ALLOCATION AND BUSINESS UPDATE

Principal face value of debt outstanding⁽¹⁾ was $3.9 billion, translating to a net debt leverage ratio⁽²⁾ of 3.0x as of December 31, 2024, a 0.1x decrease from December 31, 2023, and remaining within our targeted net debt leverage ratio⁽²⁾ range of 2.5x to 3.5x.
Returned $243 million of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 2.6 million shares of L&W common stock during the quarter and $462 million or 4.8 million shares during 2024.
Amended our credit agreement on February 10, 2025. The amendment, among other things, (i) provides for increased revolving commitments of $1.0 billion, replacing the existing revolving commitments of $750 million, (ii) extends the maturity of the revolving commitments to the earlier of (x) February 10, 2030 and (y) such earlier date that is 91 days prior to the maturity of our existing term loans (scheduled to mature on April 14, 2029) and existing notes (the earliest maturity of which is scheduled for May 15, 2028), solely to the extent more than $500 million of such term loans and/or such applicable notes are outstanding on such earlier date, and subject to us having sufficient liquidity to repay such term loans and/or applicable notes at such time and, (iii) reduces the applicable margin for the revolving loans by up to 50 basis points.
Announced strategic acquisition of Grover Gaming's charitable business on February 18, 2025 for an upfront consideration of $850 million, subject to customary purchase price adjustments, that will be funded with the combination of existing cash and incremental debt financing. Grover Gaming is a leading provider of electronic pull-tabs distributed over five fast-growing U.S. states: North Dakota, Ohio, Virginia, Kentucky and New Hampshire. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2025, subject to required regulatory and other approvals and customary closing conditions.
On February 23, 2025, the Company entered into an agreement to pay $72.5 million to resolve the antitrust claims related to its automatic card shuffler business brought in TCS John Huxley America, Inc., et al. v. Scientific Games Corporation, et al., in 2019. The antitrust claims were based on alleged conduct beginning fifteen years ago in 2009. While the settlement resolves the disputed claims, the Company has not admitted any liability in this matter.
First Quarter 2025 business update — Based on the timing dynamics of Game Sales and high-return investment opportunities, both of which are expected to drive enhanced organic growth as the year progresses, we expect first quarter 2025 year-over-year Consolidated AEBITDA⁽²⁾ growth to be in the low double-digits.
ASX Listing Review — Light & Wonder is approaching the second anniversary of its successful secondary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"), which now represents approximately 30% of total ownership. The Company remains focused on enhancing the liquidity and market capitalization of its ASX listing, and as part of this will be considering both a dual primary and a sole listing on the ASX. L&W has engaged advisors (Jarden Australia and Goldman Sachs) to evaluate potential strategies to achieve this objective. L&W will be seeking feedback from key stakeholders to ensure an optimal outcome for L&W shareholders.

"The ASX is a premier exchange with a strong history of supporting global gaming companies, offering access to a deep and liquid market of sophisticated investors and industry participants with a comprehensive understanding of the gaming sector. We look forward to engaging with the market and our existing shareholders to further elevate the profile of our ASX listing," said Jamie Odell, Chair of the Light & Wonder Board of Directors.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

Fourth quarter consolidated revenue was $797 million compared to $770 million, a 4% increase compared to the prior year period, and our 15^th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth, driven by strong performance across all three businesses. Gaming revenue increased 4%, primarily led by continued growth in Gaming systems and Table products, which grew by 24% and 10% year-over-year, respectively, as well as 4% growth in Gaming operations revenue. iGaming revenue grew by 11%, while SciPlay revenue remained flat as compared to the prior year period.
Net income increased to $107 million from $67 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher revenue and operating income and a $28 million gain on sale of assets included in other income. Net income attributable to L&W per share⁽¹⁾ increased by 64% to $1.20 compared to $0.73 in the prior year period.
Consolidated AEBITDA⁽²⁾ was $315 million compared to $302 million in the prior year period, a 4% increase driven by revenue growth and healthy margins across our businesses.
Adjusted NPATA⁽²⁾ increased 17% to $127 million as compared to $109 million in the prior year period, primarily due to revenue growth across all businesses. Adjusted NPATA per share⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ increased 19% to $1.42 compared to $1.19 in the prior year period.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $202 million compared to $167 million in the prior year period, with the current year period primarily benefiting from earnings growth and favorable changes in working capital.
Free cash flow⁽²⁾ was $74 million compared to $70 million in the prior year period. The increase was reflective of strong earnings and favorable changes in working capital, partially offset by higher capital expenditures.

Full Year 2024 Financial Highlights

Consolidated revenue was a record $3.2 billion compared to $2.9 billion in the prior year, a 10% increase. Growth was driven by strong performance across all of our businesses. Our Gaming business demonstrated continued momentum with Gaming machine sales growing 22%, Systems revenue growing 13% and Gaming operations revenue growing by 4%, primarily driven by record expansion of the North American installed base. Consolidated revenue also benefited from SciPlay's social casino business growing faster than the market, while iGaming demonstrated strong performance in North American and European markets.
Net income was $336 million compared to $180 million in the prior year, primarily due to higher revenue and lower other expense, including a $28 million gain on sale of assets included in other income, partially offset by higher operating expenses. Net income attributable to L&W per share⁽¹⁾ increased by 110% to $3.68 compared to $1.75 in the prior year period.
Consolidated AEBITDA⁽²⁾ was $1.24 billion compared to $1.12 billion in the prior year, a $126 million or 11% increase, primarily due to continued revenue growth and margin strength across all businesses.
Adjusted NPATA⁽²⁾ increased 24% to $480 million as compared to $388 million in the prior year period, primarily due to continued revenue growth and margin strength across all our businesses. Adjusted NPATA per share⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ increased 26% to $5.27 compared to $4.18 in the prior year period.
Net cash provided by operating activities was $632 million compared to $590 million in the prior year. The current year benefited from earnings growth, partially offset by unfavorable changes in working capital, including the timing of collection of receivables.
Free cash flow⁽²⁾ was $318 million compared to $291 million in the prior year. The increase was reflective of strong earnings, partially offset by changes in working capital, including certain financing arrangements, and higher capital expenditures supporting our Gaming operations installed based growth and investments.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Business Segments Key Highlights

Gaming revenue increased to $515 million, up 4% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by global Gaming systems growth of 24%, Table products growth of 10% and Gaming operations growth of 4%, which benefited from 9% year-over-year growth in our North American installed base to 34,004 units, as well as elevated average daily revenue per unit at $47.25. Our North American premium installed base grew for the 18^th consecutive quarter, representing 50% of our total North American installed base mix. Gaming systems growth was driven by increased global hardware sales. Our diversified portfolio of successful game franchises and the success of our COSMIC^®, MURAL^® and HORIZON^® cabinets continue to drive growth and strong performance in our Gaming business. Gaming AEBITDA was $257 million, up 5% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by revenue growth in the period, as well as margin improvement of 100 basis points.
SciPlay revenue was $204 million, flat when compared to the prior year period, while AEBITDA increased 7% to $74 million, reflecting margin expansion. Stable revenue was primarily driven by the social casino business, which continued to deliver consistently high player engagement and monetization, leveraging game content, dynamic Live Ops through the SciPlay Engine and effective marketing strategies. Our growing direct-to-consumer platform, which generated $27 million, or 13% of the total SciPlay revenue for the quarter, was a key driver of AEBITDA growth and margin expansion. SciPlay maintained its number of payers at 0.6 million and elevated AMRPPU⁽¹⁾ to $117.15, enabling SciPlay to grow ARPDAU⁽²⁾ by 6% year-over-year to $1.06 and payer conversion to 10.9%.
iGaming revenue increased by 11% to $78 million, and AEBITDA increased 9% to $25 million for the current year period. Revenue growth for the period reflected continued momentum in North America and Europe driven by strong content launches. Wagers processed through our iGaming platform totaled $24.0 billion during the quarter.
Capital expenditures were $70 million in the fourth quarter of 2024 as compared to $60 million in the prior year period, primarily due to ongoing investments made to support our Gaming operations growth.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures: Consolidated AEBITDA, Consolidated AEBITDA margin, Adjusted NPATA, Adjusted NPATA per share (on diluted basis), Free cash flow, Net debt and Net debt leverage ratio (each, as described more fully below). These non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental disclosures. They should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Specifically, Management uses Consolidated AEBITDA to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company's operations; (ii) facilitate Management's internal and external comparisons of the Company's consolidated historical operating performance; and (iii) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and operating budgets.

In addition, Management uses Consolidated AEBITDA and Consolidated AEBITDA margin to facilitate its external comparisons of the Company's consolidated results to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels.

Following our ASX listing, Management introduced usage of Adjusted NPATA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is widely used to measure the performance as well as a principal basis for valuation of gaming and other companies listed on the ASX, and which we present on a supplemental basis. The Adjusted NPATA performance measure was further supplemented with Adjusted NPATA per share (on diluted basis), which was added during the third quarter of 2024.

Management uses Net debt and Net debt leverage ratio in monitoring and evaluating the Company's overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide Management and investors with information regarding the Company's financial condition and operating performance that is an integral part of Management's reporting and planning processes. In particular, Management believes that Consolidated AEBITDA is helpful because this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effects of restructuring, transaction, integration or other items that Management believes are less indicative of the ongoing underlying performance of the Company's operations (as more fully described below) and are better evaluated separately. Management believes that Free cash flow provides useful information regarding the Company's liquidity and its ability to service debt and fund investments.

Management believes Adjusted NPATA and Adjusted NPATA per share are useful for investors because they provide investors with additional perspective on performance, as the measures eliminate the effects of amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, transaction, integration, certain other items, and the income tax impact on such adjustments, which Management believes are less indicative of the ongoing underlying performance of operations and are better evaluated separately. Adjusted NPATA is widely used to measure performance of gaming and other companies listed on the ASX.

Management also believes that Free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides investors with important perspectives on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment, necessary license payments to support the ongoing business operations and adjustments for changes in restricted cash impacting working capital.

Consolidated AEBITDA

Consolidated AEBITDA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure of the Company's operations and is reconciled to net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled "Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to L&W to Consolidated AEBITDA." Consolidated AEBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Consolidated AEBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Consolidated AEBITDA is reconciled to Net income attributable to L&W and includes the following adjustments, as applicable: (1) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest; (2) Restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) Management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration (including costs associated with strategic review, rebranding, divestitures, SciPlay acquisition and ongoing separation activities and related activities); (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition- and disposition-related costs and other unusual items; (3) Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges and Goodwill impairments; (4) Loss on debt financing transactions; (5) Change in fair value of investments and Gain on remeasurement of debt and other; (6) Interest expense; (7) Income tax expense (benefit); (8) Stock-based compensation; and (9) Other (income) expense, net, including foreign currency gains or losses and earnings from equity investments. AEBITDA is presented exclusively as our segment measure of profit or loss. Consolidated AEBITDA Target denotes a non-GAAP financial measure. We are not providing a forward-looking quantitative reconciliation of targeted Consolidated AEBITDA or Consolidated AEBITDA growth to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to do so without unreasonable efforts or to reasonably estimate the projected outcome of certain significant items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors out of our control and could have a material impact on the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Consolidated AEBITDA Margin

Consolidated AEBITDA margin, as used herein, represents our Consolidated AEBITDA (as defined above) calculated as a percentage of consolidated revenue. Consolidated AEBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in a schedule above.

Adjusted NPATA

Adjusted NPATA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure of the Company's operations and is reconciled to net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled "Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to L&W to Adjusted NPATA." Adjusted NPATA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Adjusted NPATA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted NPATA is reconciled to Net income attributable to L&W and includes the following adjustments, as applicable: (1) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest; (2) Amortization of acquired intangible assets; (3) Non-cash asset and goodwill impairments; (4) Restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) Management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration (including costs associated with strategic review, rebranding, divestitures, SciPlay acquisition and ongoing separation activities and related activities); (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition- and disposition-related costs and other unusual items; (5) Loss on debt financing transactions; (6) Change in fair value of investments and Gain on remeasurement of debt and other; (7) Income tax impact on adjustments; and (8) Other (income) expense, net, including foreign currency gains or losses and earnings from equity investments. Adjusted NPATA targeted range for fiscal year 2025 denotes a non-GAAP financial measure. We are not providing a forward-looking quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted NPATA targeted range to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to do so without unreasonable efforts or to reasonably estimate the projected outcome of certain significant items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors out of our control and could have a material impact on the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted NPATA Per Share – Diluted

Adjusted NPATA per share, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure of the Company's operations on diluted basis and is reconciled to diluted net income attributable to L&W per share as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled "Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to L&W Per Share to Adjusted NPATA Per Share on Diluted Basis." Adjusted NPATA per share should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Adjusted NPATA per share may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted NPATA per share is reconciled to diluted net income attributable to L&W per share and includes the same adjustments as the schedule titled "Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to L&W to Adjusted NPATA" in per share amounts.

Free Cash Flow

Free cash flow, as used herein, represents net cash provided by operating activities less total capital expenditures, less payments on license obligations, plus payments on contingent acquisition considerations and adjusted for changes in restricted cash impacting working capital. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the schedule above.

Net Debt and Net Debt Leverage Ratio

Net debt is defined as total principal face value of debt outstanding, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, less cash and cash equivalents. Principal face value of debt outstanding includes the face value of debt issued under Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Notes, which are described in Note 14 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. Net debt leverage ratio, as used herein, represents Net debt divided by Consolidated AEBITDA. The forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure targeted net debt leverage ratio is presented on a supplemental basis and does not reflect Company guidance. We are not providing a forward-looking quantitative reconciliation of targeted net debt leverage ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the relevant period.
