Added to the S&P/ASX 100 Index on September 25, 2024

Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) ("Light & Wonder," "L&W," "we" or the "Company") today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2024.

We maintained strong momentum in the third quarter and delivered our 9^th consecutive quarter of double-digit consolidated revenue growth year-over-year, sustainable cash flow generation and returned $44 million to shareholders through share repurchases, while continuing our advancement toward our long-term financial targets. Consolidated revenue increased 12%, driven by strong performance across all our businesses, maintaining healthy earnings growth:

• Gaming revenue increased to $537 million, up 15% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by global Gaming machine sales growth, which increased 38%, coupled with strong performance in North American Gaming operations.
• SciPlay revenue grew to $206 million, a 5% increase from the prior year period, driven by the social casino business, which continues to outpace the market and gain share on strong payer metrics, while our direct-to-consumer platform remained strong, representing 12% of total revenue.
• iGaming revenue grew to $74 million, a 6% increase from the prior year period, primarily reflecting continued momentum in North America, while the prior year benefited from $3 million in license termination fees, which impacted revenue growth by 4%.

Matt Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Light & Wonder, said, "Our results once again reflect the relentless collective efforts of the talent across our organization underpinned by our robust and scalable R&D platform. At G2E and AGE, we showcased a wide array of products that demonstrated the diversity and strength of our portfolio and franchises. We will continue to execute on our cross-platform strategy focused on innovative content and products as a leading global end-to-end gaming technology solutions provider. Our team is committed and engaged as we stay on course through the execution chapter of our journey to reach our target."

Oliver Chow, Chief Financial Officer of Light & Wonder, added, "The highly cash generative nature of our business, combined with a healthy balance sheet and strategic capital allocation program, has proven to be a strong framework to create shareholder value. We plan to further accelerate this value creation flywheel through continued R&D and capex investments, as well as through financial means such as our share repurchase program. We stay highly convicted to our strategy and roadmap as we reaffirm our 2025 $1.4 billion Consolidated AEBITDA target⁽¹⁾ and look to remain a compounder of growth for years to come."

LEVERAGE, CAPITAL RETURN AND LEGAL UPDATE

• Principal face value of debt outstanding⁽¹⁾ was $3.9 billion, translating to a net debt leverage ratio⁽²⁾ of 2.9x as of September 30, 2024, a 0.2x decrease from December 31, 2023, and remaining within our targeted net debt leverage ratio⁽²⁾ range of 2.5x to 3.5x.
• Returned $44 million of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 0.4 million shares of L&W common stock during the third quarter of 2024.
• Dragon Train litigation — On September 23, 2024, L&W received an order from the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada granting Aristocrat a preliminary injunction relating to future sales and distribution of our DRAGON TRAIN^TM game. On October 3, 2024, the Company released a statement on the litigation and highlighted a number of key initiatives to mitigate the immediate impact and any continuing business disruption from this order, including but not limited to, leveraging our diversified portfolio of successful game franchises, as well as the development of new iterations of the Dragon Train franchise consistent with the terms of the Court's ruling. Our North American Gaming operations installed base consisted of approximately 2,200 units of Dragon Train-themed games, of which, to date, approximately 95% have been successfully replaced and / or converted with another game from our portfolio of game franchises. Our pre-ruling estimate of 2025 Consolidated AEBITDA⁽³⁾ for Dragon Train was less than 5%⁽⁴⁾ of the $1.4 billion target. We expect growth in Consolidated AEBITDA⁽³⁾ to be above 10% for the full year 2024. We will continue to execute on our long-term sustainable growth strategy progressing towards our 2025 financial targets.

SUMMARY RESULTS

Third Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights

• Third quarter consolidated revenue was $817 million compared to $731 million, a 12% increase compared to the prior year period, and our 14^th consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth, driven by strong performance across all three businesses. Gaming revenue increased 15%, primarily led by continued growth in Gaming machine sales, which grew 38% year-over-year, and 5% growth in Gaming operations revenue. SciPlay and iGaming revenue grew by 5% and 6%, respectively.
• Net income decreased to $64 million from $80 million in the prior year period, primarily due to higher restructuring and other costs ("R&O") related to certain legal matters, offset by higher revenue and healthy margins. The prior year net income also benefited from a non-cash foreign currency transaction gain included in other income. Net income attributable to L&W per share⁽¹⁾ decreased by 12% to $0.71 compared to $0.81 in the prior year period.
• Consolidated AEBITDA⁽²⁾ was $319 million compared to $286 million in the prior year period, a 12% increase driven by revenue growth and sustained margin strength across our businesses.
• Adjusted NPATA⁽²⁾ increased 23% to $122 million as compared to $99 million in the prior year period, primarily due to revenue growth across all businesses. Adjusted NPATA per share⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ increased 24% to $1.34 compared to $1.08 in the prior year period. The Company is providing a targeted Adjusted NPATA⁽³⁾ range between $565 million and $635 million for fiscal year 2025.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $119 million compared to $204 million in the prior year period. The current year period was unfavorably impacted by changes in working capital including the timing of collection of receivables associated with the roll out of Entain units in U.K.
• Free cash flow⁽²⁾ was $83 million compared to $123 million in the prior year period. The decrease was primarily due to changes in working capital described above.

BUSINESS SEGMENT HIGHLIGHTS

FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

We report our operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services.

Third Quarter 2024 Business Segments Key Highlights

• Gaming revenue increased to $537 million, up 15% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by global Gaming machine sales growth of 38%. Gaming operations also grew 5%, benefiting from year-over-year growth in our North American installed base, which grew by 7% to 33,151 units, as well as elevated average daily revenue per unit at $49.05. Our North American premium installed base grew for the 17^th consecutive quarter, representing 50% of our total installed base mix. Our growth is driven by the continued strength and success of our diversified portfolio of successful game franchises and the success of our COSMIC^® and KASCADA^® cabinets. Gaming AEBITDA was $267 million, up 14% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by revenue growth in the period.
• SciPlay revenue was $206 million, a 5% increase from the prior year period, while AEBITDA increased 8% to $66 million, reflective of continuing revenue growth and margin expansion. Growth 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 $25 million, or 12% of the total SciPlay revenue for the quarter, also contributed to AEBITDA growth and margin expansion. SciPlay maintained its number of payers at 0.6 million and elevated AMRPPU⁽¹⁾ at $113.49, enabling SciPlay to grow ARPDAU⁽²⁾ by 8% year-over-year to $1.04 and payer conversion to 10.7%.
• iGaming revenue increased by 6% to $74 million, and AEBITDA decreased slightly to $24 million for the current year period. Revenue growth for the period reflected continued momentum in North America and Europe as well as strong content launches. Revenue and AEBITDA in the prior year period benefited from $3 million in certain termination fees, impacting revenue and AEBITDA growth by 4% and 12%, respectively. Wagers processed through our iGaming platform totaled $22.8 billion during the quarter.
• Capital expenditures were $71 million in the third quarter of 2024 as compared to $70 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; (8) Stock-based compensation; and (9) Other expense (income), 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 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 expense (income), 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 15 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and in Note 10 of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024, but it does not include other long-term obligations primarily comprised of certain revenue transactions presented as debt in accordance with ASC 470. 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.
