−Removed: Subsequent Events
−Removed: Investors and potential investors are advised
−Removed: to review this annual report on Form 10-K in light of ongoing events.
−Removed: As with other businesses worldwide, we are experiencing
−Removed: severe disruption to our business as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the far-reaching actions of the governments of various
−Removed: countries where we do, and hope to do, business, as well as countries sourcing our supply chain.
−Removed: The World Health Organization has declared
−Removed: COVID-19 to be a global pandemic.
−Removed: There have been a number of government-imposed emergency measures in many of the jurisdictions
−Removed: in which we operate in response to the pandemic.
−Removed: The duration of these measures are unknown, but include the closure of all retail
−Removed: venues (including pubs, bookmakers, holiday parks, and adult gaming centers), restrictions on all non-essential travel, social
−Removed: distancing, bans on public mobility and shelter in place measures.
−Removed: Retail operations of our customers in Italy, Greece, the U.S
−Removed: and the UK have closed and are no longer generating revenues for us.
−Removed: Our Interactive business, which includes Virtual Sports products,
−Removed: to the extent delivered online, remain operational.
−Removed: Although there have been a number of government-supported
−Removed: initiatives (across our various geographies) proposed to ease the burden on businesses and employees, including employee retention
−Removed: schemes, credit relief and tax deferrals, there is still much uncertainty regarding the scope of these initiatives or their respective
−Removed: impact on our business.
−Removed: While the situation is fluid, we have
−Removed: already experienced adverse effects on our business, which we are currently working to mitigate.
−Removed: Since mid-March, we have drawn
−Removed: down the full amount of GBP20.0 million (equivalent to $24.8 million at current exchange rates) on our revolving credit facility
−Removed: to provide additional near-term liquidity and cancelled or delayed material capital expenditures.
−Removed: Most recently, we implemented
−Removed: furloughs, reduced work hours and compensation levels, as well as additional measures across our entire business.
−Removed: The objective
−Removed: of these actions has been to lower our future cash expenditures for the period in which these initiatives remain in place.
−Removed: Additionally, the Board has determined to
−Removed: (i) indefinitely delay the payment of accrued executive bonuses for the year ended December 31, 2019 and (ii) waive cash payments
−Removed: of Board retainers due to be disbursed during the second quarter of 2020.
−Removed: The Executive Chairman has also voluntarily withdrawn
−Removed: his Employment Agreement from consideration at our upcoming annual meeting of stockholders and we are examining arrangements with
−Removed: In addition, the Office of the Executive Chairman have consented to temporary reductions in base pay, as described
−Removed: in Item 9B below.
−Removed: Though we have seen an increase in our virtual/interactive business
−Removed: since the government-mandated closures, depending on the duration of the pandemic and government-mandated restrictions, as well
−Removed: as government-sponsored remediation regimes, the effects of these events are potentially catastrophic for the worldwide economy,
−Removed: including our business.
−Removed: However, the dynamic nature of the pandemic and government restrictions, as well as evolving potential
−Removed: for relevant, government sponsored business stimuli and creditor relief plans are neither quantifiable nor predictable as of this
−Removed: are a global business-to-business gaming technology company, supplying Server Based Gaming (“SBG”) and Virtual Sports
−Removed: (which includes Interactive) systems to regulated lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through an “omni-channel”
−Removed: distribution strategy.
−Removed: We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions on our proprietary and secure network, which accommodates
−Removed: a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets and online
−Removed: computer and social applications.
−Removed: key strategic priorities are to:
−Removed: our strong positions in each of Virtual Sports, Interactive and SBG by developing new omni-channel products;
−Removed: to invest in games and technology in order to grow our existing customers’
−Removed: Add new customers by expanding into underpenetrated sectors and newly regulated jurisdictions;
−Removed: targeted mergers and acquisitions to expand our product portfolio and/or distribution footprint.
−Removed: most recent fiscal year ended on December 31, 2019.
−Removed: On September 24, 2018, our Board of Directors determined, in accordance with
−Removed: our bylaws and the recommendation of the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, to change our financial year, so that it begins
−Removed: on January 1 and ends on December 31 of each year, commencing on January 1, 2019.
−Removed: Subsequent to this change in financial year,
−Removed: we filed a transition report on Form 10-Q, covering the transition period of October 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018.
−Removed: this Form 10-K covers our financial year as amended, being the period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019.
−Removed: are shown for the calendar year period from January 1, 2018 to December 31, 2018, as shown in the accompanying reconciliation
−Removed: October 1, 2019, the Company completed the acquisition of the Gaming Technology Group (“NTG”) of Novomatic UK Ltd.,
−Removed: a division of Novomatic Group, a leading international supplier of gaming equipment and solutions.
−Removed: Our business is being and
−Removed: will continue to be adversely affected by the rapidly expanding nature of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
−Removed: All venues offering
−Removed: land-based gaming, including our products, are closed for an indeterminate period of time in the jurisdictions in which we operate
−Removed: through governmental mandate.
−Removed: In addition, the extent of a significant economic impact from the pandemic may result in a decrease
−Removed: in the willingness or ability of consumers to engage in gambling activities.
−Removed: Land-based customers globally, and the United States,
−Removed: United Kingdom, Greece and Italy specifically, are impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic due to the closure of venues.
−Removed: There is also
−Removed: a possibility that player behavior may change following any resolution of the pandemic, including that consumers may spend less
−Removed: time or wager smaller amounts at gambling facilities.
−Removed: The pandemic is adversely affecting a broad range of our operations, including
−Removed: our ability to obtain and ship our products, our ability to continue to develop new products and services and the ability of
−Removed: our customers to pay outstanding amounts due to us.
−Removed: As a result of the significant reductions in revenue and other changes to
−Removed: our business, at least in the short term (which also affects other companies in our industry), we are working to protect our existing
−Removed: available liquidity by pro-actively managing capital expenditures and working capital as well as identifying both immediate and
−Removed: longer term opportunities for cost savings.
−Removed: expect, due to closures of land-based venues, that there could be a meaningful increase in our online revenues from slots and
−Removed: virtual sports but it is not possible to quantify any potential impact at this time.
−Removed: Prior to any COVID-19 impact, we would have
−Removed: expected this part of our business to account for approximately 10% of Company revenue during 2020.
−Removed: As part of these efforts to preserve liquidity,
−Removed: the Company drew all remaining availability (£18.0 million ($23.8 million using rates prevailing at December 31, 2019)) under
−Removed: its £20 million ($26.4 million using rates prevailing at December 31, 2019) revolving credit facility on March 13, 2020.
−Removed: report our operations in three business segments, SBG, Virtual Sports (which includes Interactive, an operating segment which
−Removed: does not exceed the quantitative thresholds in Accounting Standards Committee (“ASC”
−Removed: 280-10-50-12), and Acquired Businesses
−Removed: (which is comprised of the aforementioned NTG business, acquired on October 1, 2019), representing our different products and
−Removed: We evaluate our business performance, resource allocation and capital spending on an operating segment level, where
−Removed: We use our operating results and identified assets of each of our operating segments in order to make prospective operating
−Removed: Although our revenue and cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) are reported exclusively by segment,
−Removed: we do include unallocated items in our consolidated financial statements for certain expenses including depreciation and amortization
−Removed: as well as selling, general and administrative expenses.
−Removed: Unallocated balance sheet line items include items that are a shared
−Removed: resource and therefore not allocated between operating segments.
−Removed: this report, we have changed how certain selling, general and administrative expenses are split between segments, reducing the
−Removed: allocation of costs within “Corporate Functions”, which management believes provides a more informed allocation.
−Removed: such, we have restated the segment splits for the comparative prior periods in line with the revised allocations, to give a clear
−Removed: comparison with the current period.
−Removed: Commentary within this section refers to changes from the restated segment numbers.
−Removed: SBG business segment designs, develops, markets and distributes a broad portfolio of games through our digital network architecture.
−Removed: Our SBG customers include UK licensed betting offices (“LBOs”), casinos, gaming hall operators, bingo operators and

−Removed: Participation revenue includes a right to receive a share of revenue generated from (i) our Virtual Sports
−Removed: products placed with operators;
−Removed: (ii) our SBG terminals placed in gaming and lottery venues;
−Removed: (iii) licensing our game content and
−Removed: intellectual property to third parties;
−Removed: and (iv) our games on third-party online gaming platforms that are interoperable with
−Removed: our game servers.
−Removed: revenue recognition processes we applied prior to adoption of ASC 606 align with the recognition and measurement guidance of the
−Removed: new standard.
−Removed: Therefore, adoption of ASC 606 did not require a cumulative adjustment to opening equity.
−Removed: from SBG terminals, access to our content and SBG platform, including electronic table gaming products is recognized based upon
−Removed: a contracted percentage of the operator’s net winnings from the terminals’
−Removed: Where this is not the case,
−Removed: revenue is based upon a fixed daily or weekly usage fee.
−Removed: We recognize revenue from these arrangements in accordance with the series
−Removed: guidance in ASC 606 over time on a daily basis over the term of the arrangement, or when not specified over the expected customer
−Removed: relationship period.
−Removed: Hardware sales take the form of a transfer of ownership of our developed gaming terminals, and are recognized
−Removed: at a point in time upon delivery.

−Removed: sports online and mobile revenue, which includes the provision of virtual sports content and services to mobile and online operators,
−Removed: is based upon a contracted percentage of the operator’s net winnings or a fixed rental fee.
−Removed: We recognize revenue for these
−Removed: fees over time on a daily or weekly basis in accordance with the series guidance in ASC 606 over the term of the arrangement.
−Removed: These arrangements also typically include a perpetual license billed up front, granted to the customer for access to our gaming
−Removed: platform and content.
−Removed: As these up-front bills represent payment for future services, revenue from the licensing of perpetual licenses
−Removed: is recognized ratably over time, or when not specified, over the expected customer relationship period.

−Removed: sector, revenue is based upon a fixed daily or weekly usage fee.
−Removed: We recognize revenue from these arrangements in accordance with
−Removed: the series guidance in ASC 606 over time on a daily basis over the term of the arrangement, or when not specified over the expected
−Removed: customer relationship period.
−Removed: Hardware sales take the form of a transfer of ownership of our developed gaming terminals, and are
−Removed: recognized at a point in time upon delivery.
−Removed: Geographically,
−Removed: more than half of our revenue is derived from, and more than half of our non-current assets are attributed to, our UK operations,
−Removed: with the remainder of our revenue derived from, and non-current assets attributed to, Italy, Greece and the rest of the world.
−Removed: the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, we earned approximately 68% of our revenue in the UK, 13% in Greece, 11% in Italy and
−Removed: the remaining 8% across the rest of the world.
−Removed: During the twelve months ended December 31, 2018, we earned approximately 63%,
−Removed: 17%, 13% and 7% of our revenue in those regions, respectively.
−Removed: results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of the translation of foreign functional currencies
−Removed: into our reporting currency and the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions and balances.
−Removed: The impact of foreign currency
−Removed: exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity.
−Removed: The largest geographic region in which we operate is the UK and the British pound (“GBP”) is considered to be our
−Removed: functional currency.
−Removed: Our reporting currency is the U.S.
−Removed: dollar (“USD”).
−Removed: Our results are translated from our functional
−Removed: currency of GBP into the reporting currency of USD using average rates for profit and loss transactions and applicable spot rates
−Removed: for period-end balances.
−Removed: The effect of translating our functional currency into our reporting currency, as well as translating
−Removed: the results of foreign subsidiaries that have a different functional currency into our functional currency, is reported separately
−Removed: in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
−Removed: the twelve months ended December 31, 2019, we derived approximately 32% of our revenue from sales to customers outside the UK,
−Removed: compared to 37% during the twelve months ended December 31, 2018.
−Removed: the section “Results of Operations”
−Removed: below, currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average
−Removed: GBP:USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency
−Removed: The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional
−Removed: currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP:USD rate.
−Removed: This is not a U.S.
−Removed: GAAP measure, but is one which management believes
−Removed: gives a clearer indication of results.
−Removed: In the tables below, variances in particular line items from period to period exclude currency
−Removed: translation movements, and currency translation impacts are shown independently.
−Removed: Financial Measures
−Removed: use certain financial measures that are not compliant with U.S.
−Removed: GAAP (“Non-GAAP financial measures”), including EBITDA
−Removed: and Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance.
−Removed: In this discussion and analysis, we present certain non-GAAP financial
−Removed: measures, define and explain these measures and provide reconciliations to the most comparable U.S.
−Removed: GAAP measures.

−Removed: This was primarily due to a decrease
−Removed: in revenue in the UK LBO sector of $16.2 million, of which $15.6 million was driven by the Triennial Implementation and $0.5 million
−Removed: due to the expiry of a service contract.
−Removed: Additionally, there was a revenue reduction in the Greek sector of $0.9 million driven
−Removed: by a reduction in software license sales of $6.0 million, partly offset by the continued terminal rollout which drove additional
−Removed: income of $5.1 million.
−Removed: Revenue in the Italian sector decreased by $2.2 million due mainly to a 1.7% tax rate increase on gross
−Removed: stakes driving a $2.9 million reduction as well as a decline in gross win per unit per day that resulted in a $0.2 million revenue

−Removed: recurring revenue.
−Removed: There was an additional $0.9 million increase from non-recurring revenue.

−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis, SG&A increased by $16.8 million, or 28.4%.
−Removed: This increase
−Removed: was driven by incremental selling, general and administrative expenses of $20.1 million from Acquired Businesses.
−Removed: This was partly
−Removed: offset by labor savings of $4.0 million (of which $4.9 million was made in conjunction with Post Triennial Implementation), facilities
−Removed: cost savings of $1.1 million, IT-related cost savings of $0.5 million and other cost savings of $0.2 million.
−Removed: This was partly
−Removed: offset by an increase in the costs of group restructure of $0.5 million (removed from Adjusted EBITDA) and a decrease in net labor
−Removed: capitalization and manufacturing recoveries of $1.7 million due to mix of projects and lower factory throughput as a result of
−Removed: fewer machines being built.
−Removed: the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded an expense of $9.0 million with respect to outstanding awards.
−Removed: expense, $6.0 million related to costs from awards made under the 2016 Long Term Incentive Plan, $2.8 million from awards made
−Removed: under the 2018 Plan and $0.3 million related to costs from the vesting of awards in December 2019.
−Removed: The entirety of this cost related
−Removed: to recurring costs, with the 2018 Plan awards impacted by movements in the stock price between the award granting date and May
−Removed: 14, 2019, the date the scheme was formally approved by stockholders.
−Removed: Following approval, the cost was no longer impacted by stock
−Removed: price movements being charged by the same method as all other award plans.
−Removed: During the year ended December 31, 2018, the charge
−Removed: for stock-based compensation was $5.8 million.
−Removed: Of this expense, $5.6 million related to costs from awards made under the 2016
−Removed: Long Term Incentive Plan and $0.2 million from awards made under the 2018 Plan.
−Removed: The entirety of this cost is related to recurring
−Removed: and integration related transaction expenses
−Removed: related transaction expenses increased by $6.4 million, on a reported basis, to $6.7 million.
−Removed: The entirety of the 2019 and 2018
−Removed: period expenses were related to work in respect of potential acquisitions, with the 2019 expenses relating to the acquisition
−Removed: and third-party integration fees linked exclusively to the acquisition and integration of NTG.
−Removed: expense decreased by $7.7 million as there was no charge in the current period, but a $7.7 million expense in the prior period.
−Removed: This expense in the prior period was considered to be outside the normal course of business.
−Removed: Following a review of key strategic
−Removed: plans and therefore future priority areas by the Office of the Executive Chairman, the carrying value of these assets were deemed
−Removed: to be in excess of their current fair value.
−Removed: and amortization
−Removed: and amortization increased by $0.1 million, or 0.3%, on a reported basis, to $42.0 million.
−Removed: This included the impact of favorable
−Removed: currency movements of $1.9 million.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate
−Removed: basis, depreciation and amortization increased by $2.0 million, or 4.8%.
−Removed: This increase was driven by incremental depreciation and
−Removed: amortization of $5.9 million from Acquired Businesses.
−Removed: This was partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease of depreciation and
−Removed: amortization in SBG and Virtual Sports.
−Removed: This was driven by lower machine and machine-related depreciation of $3.8 million and lower
−Removed: amortization of $0.4 million, driven by lower amortization of platforms and games.
−Removed: The machine and machine-related depreciation
−Removed: decrease was driven by lower depreciation in the UK ($4.3 million) and Italy ($1.2 million) due to machines being fully depreciated,
−Removed: which was partly offset by additional depreciation in Greece of $1.7 million due to the additional volume of machines.
−Removed: operating loss
−Removed: the period, net operating loss increased by $7.7 million from a loss of $5.3 million to a loss of $13.0 million on a reported
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis, net operating loss increased by $8.6 million, mainly due to the increase
−Removed: in revenue, more than offset by increases in cost of sales and SG&A expenses, including a $0.9 million favorable currency
−Removed: The net impact of the Triennial Implementation in the UK for the period (included in the above) was $8.7 million.
−Removed: expense increased by $8.1 million in the year, to $27.8 million, on a reported basis.
−Removed: Of the $27.8 million, $16.4 million related
−Removed: to debt interest and $9.4 million related to the amortization of capitalized debt fees.
−Removed: $5.4 million of the $16.4 million and
−Removed: $0.8 million of the $9.4 million related to the new debt with the remaining amounts relating to the previous debt including a
−Removed: $7.3 million expense writing off the remainder of the debt fees capitalized under the previous debt.
−Removed: Of the $8.1 million increase
−Removed: in the current year, $1.3 million was due to a favorable currency movement.
−Removed: On a functional currency at a constant rate basis,
−Removed: interest expense increased $9.3 million, or 47.0%, compared to the prior year.
−Removed: This was due to higher amortization of capitalized
−Removed: debt fees of $9.0 million (including the expense of $7.3 million as a result of the debt refinancing in connection with the acquisition
−Removed: of the Acquired Businesses in the year), higher debt interest costs of $4.3 million and favorable bank currency movements of $0.5
−Removed: million were offset by savings of $4.8 million of PIK interest (no longer incurred following the debt refinancing in August 2018).
−Removed: in fair value of earnout liability
−Removed: Due solely to changes in the share price
−Removed: ($6.51 at March 25, 2019 and $4.80 at December 31, 2018) the charge in the year ended December 31, 2019 from a change in the fair
−Removed: value of earnout liability was $2.3 million.
−Removed: On March 25, 2019, the shares relating to the earnout liability were issued.
−Removed: prior year, due to changes in share price, the corresponding figure was a $5.7 million gain.
−Removed: in fair value of derivative liability
−Removed: in fair value of derivative liability decreased by $7.9 million, on a reported basis, to a $3.0 million credit for the year ended
−Removed: December 31, 2019, arising from the fair valuing of the cross-currency swaps executed in August 2018 in connection with the debt
−Removed: refinancing of the Company.
−Removed: This represents the unhedged amount of the cross-currency swap.
−Removed: For the year ended December 31, 2018,
−Removed: the change in fair value of derivative liability was a $4.9 million charge.
−Removed: Of this, $6.5 million represented the unhedged amount
−Removed: of the cross-currency swap with a $1.6 million gain for derivative awards which were converted to stock-based compensation awards
−Removed: in March 2018.
−Removed: On October 1, 2019 as part of the refinancing of the group, the cross-currency swaps were terminated.
−Removed: in fair value of warrant liability
−Removed: to changes in the valuation of the warrant liability, the expense recorded in the year increased from $20.7 million income to $4.1 million
−Removed: finance income
−Removed: finance income for the year ended December 31, 2019 was a credit of $3.2 million, unchanged from the prior year.
−Removed: Changes in exchange
−Removed: rates resulted in a loss of $3.3 million in retranslating the debt balance.
−Removed: This was offset by a $3.2 million gain from the GBP:USD
−Removed: cross-currency swap entered into to mitigate this impact, accounted for under hedge accounting, and a $0.1 million higher pension
−Removed: interest gain.
−Removed: effective tax rate for the period ended December 31, 2019 was 0.2%, and our effective tax rate for the period ended December 31,
−Removed: 2018 was 1.0%.
−Removed: a reported basis, net loss was $41.1 million compared to a net loss of $0.4 million in the prior period.
−Removed: This was mainly due to the decrease in operating income driven by the increase in acquisition and integration related transaction
−Removed: expenses, plus increases in interest expense, change in fair value of earnout liability and change in fair value of warrant
−Removed: This was partly offset by a $7.9 million positive change in fair value of derivative liabilities.

−Removed: Server Based Gaming Segment
−Removed: generate revenue from our SBG business segment through product sales (both hardware and software) and long-term participation
−Removed: agreements, which include access to our SBG platform and selection of game titles, usually over a term of between three and five
−Removed: years but longer in certain territories.
−Removed: Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win
−Removed: (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and any relevant regulatory
−Removed: levies) from SBG terminals placed in our customers’
−Removed: facilities, which include retail outlets, casinos and other gaming operations,
−Removed: or from SBG gaming software used by customers’
−Removed: players through mobile or online devices.
−Removed: Typically, we recognize revenue
−Removed: from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.
−Removed: growth for our SBG business is principally driven by the number of operator customers we have, the number of SBG machines in operation,
−Removed: the net win performance of the machines and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

−Removed: the table above:
−Removed: of Period Installed Base”
−Removed: is equal to the number of deployed SBG terminals at the end of each period that have been placed
−Removed: on a participation basis.
−Removed: SBG participation revenue, which comprises the majority of SBG service revenue, is directly related
−Removed: to the terminal installed base.
−Removed: This is the medium by which customers generate revenue and distribute a revenue share to the Company.
−Removed: To the extent all other “KPI “and certain other factors”
−Removed: being equal”
−Removed: remain constant, the larger the
−Removed: installed base, the higher the Company’s revenue will be for that period.
−Removed: Management gives careful consideration to this
−Removed: KPI in terms of driving growth across the segment.
−Removed: is derived from the performance of the installed base as described by the Gross and Net Win KPIs.
−Removed: the End of Period Installed Base is materially different from the Average Installed Base (described below), we believe this gives
−Removed: an indication as to potential future performance.
−Removed: The End of Period Installed Base is particularly useful for assessing new customers
−Removed: or sectors, to indicate the progress being made with respect to entering new territories or jurisdictions.
−Removed: “Average
−Removed: Installed Base”
−Removed: is the average number of deployed SBG terminals during the period.
−Removed: Therefore, it is more closely aligned
−Removed: to revenue in the period.
−Removed: This measure is particularly useful for assessing existing customers or sectors to provide comparisons
−Removed: of historical size and performance.
−Removed: “Customer
−Removed: Gross Win per unit per day”
−Removed: is a KPI used by our internal decision makers to (i) assess impact on the Company’s revenue,
−Removed: (ii) determine changes in the strength of the overall market and (iii) evaluate the impacts of regulatory change and our new content
−Removed: releases on our customers.
−Removed: Customer Gross Win per unit per day is the average per unit cash generated across all SBG terminals
−Removed: in which the Company takes a participation revenue share across all territories in the period, defined as the difference between
−Removed: the amounts staked less winnings to players divided by the Average Installed Base in the period, then divided by the number of
−Removed: days in the period.
−Removed: revenue share income accrued in the period is derived from Customer Gross Win accrued in the period after deducting gaming taxes
−Removed: (defined as a regulatory levy paid by the Customer to government bodies) and applying the Company’s contractual revenue
−Removed: share percentage.
−Removed: Our internal decision makers believe Customer
−Removed: Gross Win measures are meaningful because they represent a view of customer operating performance that is unaffected by our revenue
−Removed: share percentage and allow management to (1) readily view operating trends, (2) perform analytical comparisons and benchmarking
−Removed: between customers and (3) identify strategies to improve operating performance in the different sectors in which we operate.
−Removed: “Customer
−Removed: Net Win per unit per day”
−Removed: is Customer Gross Win per unit per day after giving effect to the deduction of gaming taxes.
−Removed: “Inspired
−Removed: Blended Participation Rate”
−Removed: is the Company’s average revenue share percentage across all terminals where revenue is
−Removed: earned on a participation basis, weighted by Customer Net Win per unit per day.
−Removed: overall SBG revenue from terminals placed on a participation basis can therefore be described as the product of the Average Installed
−Removed: Base, the Customer Net Win per unit per day, the number of days in the period, and the Inspired Blended Participation Rate, to
−Removed: give “participation revenue”.
−Removed: Segment, key events that affected results for the Twelve Months ended December 31, 2019
−Removed: During the period Customer Gross Win per
−Removed: unit per day in the total UK sector (including non-LBO UK sectors) decreased by 24.9%.
−Removed: This was due mainly to the Triennial Implementation
−Removed: The revenue impact of this regulatory change was in line with our expectations.
−Removed: During the period, an additional 1,152
−Removed: SSBTs were sold and deployed in the UK LBO sector, of which 526 were sold in the fourth quarter.
−Removed: In addition to hardware sales
−Removed: margin, these terminals also generate a recurring service fee.
−Removed: During the third quarter of 2019, the Company
−Removed: secured an extension to supply hardware, platform, content and service into the UK LBO sector with our largest customer for an
−Removed: additional three years.
−Removed: This agreement runs to the end of 2022 and includes minimal capital expenditure in exchange for a slight
−Removed: reduction in revenue share versus current terms.
−Removed: In the UK Casino sector, we sold 278 “Flex”
−Removed: B3 terminals split between two major customers.
−Removed: These terminals will also generate a recurring software rental fee and content
−Removed: revenue share to the Company in future periods.
−Removed: In the UK Electronic Table Games (ETG)
−Removed: sector, we sold 205 Sabre Hydra TM terminals to a major Casino customer with a further 150 on the order book for the
−Removed: second part of 2020.
−Removed: During the period, first time sales were
−Removed: recorded in the North American sector.
−Removed: Hardware sales of 116 Valor TM terminals were made in Illinois.
−Removed: We were awarded a further 580 contracted
−Removed: terminals in Greece, 380 of which are our new “Valor VIP”
−Removed: cabinet bringing the total number of our contracted terminals
−Removed: in Greece to 8,940.
−Removed: Our SBG rollout into the Greek sector continued with a further 2,106 terminals being deployed on site..
−Removed: increased density, the performance of our Greek terminals continues to be strong relative to our competitors.
−Removed: In Italy, customer Net Win per unit per
−Removed: day (in EUR) decreased by €13, or 29.3%, primarily due to an increase in the average revenue tax of 1.7% from 6.9% in 2018
−Removed: to 8.6% in 2019 as well as a decline in Gross Win per unit per day (EUR).
−Removed: Our end of period Installed Base of terminals
−Removed: showed a decrease of 1,879, or 5.4%, to 32,698.
−Removed: This was due to 700 shop closures (representing a decrease of 2,800 terminals)
−Removed: by a major customer in the UK LBO sector resulting from the Triennial Implementation, however this happened in the third and fourth
−Removed: quarters and therefore had less of an impact on the average installed base.
−Removed: Growth of over 2,100 VLT’s in the Greek sector
−Removed: partly offset the decline in the UK.
−Removed: Customer Gross Win per unit per day (in
−Removed: our functional currency, GBP) decreased by 24.5% across the entire estate, driven mainly by the reduction in maximum permitted
−Removed: bets on B2 gaming machines in the UK and the impact of our SBG installations in Greece, as our Greek machines return a lower daily
−Removed: Customer Gross Win compared to our UK machines.
−Removed: These impacts, along with a 1.7% average increase in the Italian revenue tax rate,
−Removed: partly offset by reduced tax in the UK LBO sector post triennial, led to a Net Win per unit per day decrease on total SBG of 24.7%.
−Removed: Our blended participation rate increased by 0.1% to 6.2% in 2019.

−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis, SBG revenue decreased by $15.0 million, or 14.5%.
−Removed: Service revenue decreased by $22.1 million
−Removed: on a reported basis, of which $3.1 million was attributable to adverse currency movements.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant
−Removed: rate basis, SBG service revenue decreased by $19.0 million, or 20.4%, to $71.0 million.
−Removed: This was primarily due to a decrease in
−Removed: revenue in the UK LBO sector of $16.2 million, of which $15.6 million was driven by the Triennial Implementation and $0.5 million
−Removed: due to the expiring of a service contract.
−Removed: Additionally, there was a reduction in
−Removed: the Greek sector of $0.9 million driven by a reduction in software license sales of $6.0 million, partly offset by the continued
−Removed: terminal rollout which drove additional income of $5.2 million.
−Removed: Revenue in the Italian sector decreased
−Removed: by $2.2 million on a functional currency at constant rate basis due mainly to a 1.7% tax rate increase on gross stakes driving
−Removed: a $2.9 million reduction as well as a decline in gross win per unit per day that resulted in a $0.2 million revenue decline.
−Removed: was partly offset by $0.5 million from additional unit volume, $0.3 million from an increase in license sales and $0.2 million
−Removed: from a full year of revenue share terms changes with two major customers.
−Removed: Revenue in UK Other increased by $0.5 million due to
−Removed: a one-off contract sale during the period of $0.7 million and additional revenue of $0.2 million driven by terminal upgrades with
−Removed: one customer, partly offset by an expiry of a service contract of $0.2 million and lower ETG software sales of $0.2 million.
−Removed: UK LBO Customer Gross Win per unit per
−Removed: day decreased by 24.9% due to the Triennial Implementation.
−Removed: The revenue impact of this regulatory change was in line with our expectations,
−Removed: improving consecutively each quarter since the Triennial Implementation launched on April 1, 2019.
−Removed: The decline in Gross Win for
−Removed: the fourth quarter was 21.1%, a significant improvement over the third quarter impact of 37.5% and the second quarter impact of
−Removed: The vast improvement in the fourth quarter is a result of 700 closures of the lower end shops in our largest customer and
−Removed: new game content going live across the full UK LBO estate.
−Removed: Hardware revenue increased by $3.4 million
−Removed: to $13.5 million, on a reported basis, despite adverse currency movements of $0.7 million.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant
−Removed: rate basis, SBG hardware revenue increased by $4.0 million.
−Removed: The increase in hardware revenue was driven by 328 “Flex”
−Removed: cabinet sales to two major customers in the UK Bingo & AGC sectors of $2.5 million, our first 116 terminal sale of the Valor TM
−Removed: cabinet in the North American sector of $1.7 million, additional sales of 467 SSBTs in the UK LBO sector of $2.0 million, the sale
−Removed: of 32 Flex terminals to a UK LBO customer of $0.3 million and 75 “Sabre Hydra”
−Removed: sales to a major customer in the UK
−Removed: ETG sector of $1.3 million.
−Removed: These are partly offset by nil margin sales of 600 “Flex”
−Removed: cabinet sales to a major UK LBO
−Removed: of $4.0 million.
−Removed: segment operating income.
−Removed: Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) remained flat, on a reported basis.
−Removed: Favorable currency movements of $1.3 million offset a $1.3 million increase in cost of sales on a functional currency at constant
−Removed: The above was driven by an increase in
−Removed: hardware cost of sales of $1.5 million due to Flex sales in the UK Bingo & AGC sectors of $2.2 million, SSBT & Flex sales
−Removed: in the UK LBO sector of $1.9 million, Valor TM sales in North America of $0.9 million and Sabre Hydra TM sales
−Removed: in the ETG sector of $0.6 million.
−Removed: These were partly offset by nil margin Flex sales in the UK LBO sector of $4.0 million from
−Removed: the previous period that did not recur in 2019.
−Removed: costs decreased by $0.1 million on a functional currency at constant rate basis.
−Removed: This was driven by a reduction in UK consumables
−Removed: of $1.0 million due to the Triennial Implementation and lower spares costs and content costs in Italy of $0.6 million, mostly
−Removed: offset by an increase in Greek SBG service costs of $1.0 million driven by the increase in terminals as the Greece rollout continued
−Removed: and increased UK LBO content costs of $0.5 million.
−Removed: expenses decreased by $7.2 million to $23.6 million, on a reported basis.
−Removed: This included $1.1 million of favorable currency movements.
−Removed: This resulted in a functional currency at constant rate decrease of $6.0 million attributable to staff-related cost savings of
−Removed: $5.8 million (of which approximately $4.4 million was made in conjunction with the Triennial Implementation), facilities cost
−Removed: savings of $0.5 million, lower IT-related costs of $0.4 million driven by lower headcount, lower costs of group restructure of
−Removed: $0.2 million and other cost savings of $0.8 million.
−Removed: This was partly offset by $1.9 million lower labor capitalization and manufacturing
−Removed: recoveries due to lower headcount, mix of projects and lower factory throughput as a result of fewer machines being built in the
−Removed: impairment expense in the prior period, considered to be outside of the normal course of business, amounted to $4.7 million, due
−Removed: to the review of key strategic areas by the Office of the Executive Chairman.
−Removed: This resulted in a functional currency at constant
−Removed: rate decrease of $4.7 million.
−Removed: Depreciation and amortization decreased
−Removed: by $5.2 million, to $29.1 million on a reported basis.
−Removed: Of this amount, $1.3 million was due to favorable currency movements.
−Removed: a functional currency at constant rate basis, the decrease was $3.8 million, from lower machine and machine-related depreciation.
−Removed: The lower machine and machine-related depreciation was driven by lower depreciation in the UK ($4.3 million) and Italy ($1.2 million)
−Removed: due to machines being fully depreciated, partly offset by the additional machine and machine-related depreciation in Greece of
−Removed: $1.7 million due to the additional terminals in the Greek sector.
−Removed: income decreased by $2.3 million, to $3.4 million, on a reported basis.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis, SBG operating
−Removed: income increased by $2.3 million.
−Removed: This was primarily due to the decrease in revenue, partly offset by lower SG&A expenses,

−Removed: Virtual Sports products create a form of simulated sports betting in both a streaming and on-demand environment, overcoming the
−Removed: relative infrequency of live sporting events on which players can wager.
−Removed: We generate revenue from our Virtual Sports segment by
−Removed: licensing to our operator customers the software related to our Virtual Sports products, which consists of a complex graphics
−Removed: and networking software package that provides fixed-odds wagering on an ultra-high definition computer rendering of a virtual
−Removed: sporting event, such as soccer or boxing.
−Removed: Our customers pay us for the use of this software through either a fixed license fee
−Removed: per period, or on a participation basis based on the volume of customer net win.
−Removed: We also generate revenue by providing upfront
−Removed: services to our customers.
−Removed: Revenue growth for our Virtual Sports segment is driven by the number of customers, the number of player
−Removed: end-points and the customer net win attributable to our products.
−Removed: customers for Virtual Sports include regulated betting operators, lotteries, casinos, online operators and other gaming and lottery
−Removed: operators in the UK, continental Europe, Asia, Africa and North America.
−Removed: Virtual Sports can be adapted to function in a sports

−Removed: In addition, we also supply non-gaming amusement machines in pubs and other facilities on a fixed rental basis.
−Removed: growth for our Acquired Businesses is principally driven by the number of operator customers we have, the number of gaming machines

−Removed: This reflects the continued conversion of Category C gaming
−Removed: machines from analogue to digital in the UK Pub estate.
−Removed: The increase in the Company’s digital machine base continues to
−Removed: drive revenue per gaming machine per week, which has demonstrated sequential growth on a quarterly basis and averaged £59.63

−Removed: of the UK pub estate, $0.9 million in new machines for the MSA and AGC estates and $1.0 million of capitalized software development
−Removed: Financial Measures
−Removed: use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance.
−Removed: financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis.
−Removed: We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our
−Removed: industry to measure performance.
−Removed: For these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight
−Removed: into our business, in addition to standard U.S.
−Removed: GAAP financial measures.
−Removed: There are no specific rules or regulations for defining
−Removed: and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies,
−Removed: even if they have similar labels.
−Removed: The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from,
−Removed: or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S.
−Removed: consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S.
−Removed: GAAP financial measures.
−Removed: define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
−Removed: is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.
−Removed: EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax
−Removed: expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments .
−Removed: Such additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation
−Removed: GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of warrant or
−Removed: earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where
−Removed: trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension schemes.
−Removed: Additional adjustments are made for items considered
−Removed: outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance,
−Removed: management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and
−Removed: acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business.
−Removed: believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure,
−Removed: because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative
−Removed: expense and other operating income and expense.
−Removed: We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating
−Removed: results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects
−Removed: for the future.
−Removed: Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable
−Removed: to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes
−Removed: non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities) .
−Removed: Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures.
−Removed: Management compensates for these
−Removed: limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance.
−Removed: In addition, capital
−Removed: expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately
−Removed: by management.
−Removed: Revenue (Revenue Excluding Nil Margin Hardware Sales) is defined as revenue excluding hardware sales that are sold at
−Removed: nil margin with the intention of securing longer term recurring revenue streams.
−Removed: Currency at Constant rate.
−Removed: Currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:
−Removed: USD rate less
−Removed: the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP).
−Removed: remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency,
−Removed: multiplied by the prior-period average GBP:
−Removed: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.
−Removed: Movement represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional
−Removed: currency at constant rate basis.

−Removed: As well as the amortization of net loss,
−Removed: the figure also includes charges relating to the Pension Protection Fund (which were historically borne by the pension scheme)
−Removed: and a small amount of associated professional services expenses.
−Removed: These costs are included within Central Functions.

−Removed: Acquisition Corp.
−Removed: (3) “Costs
−Removed: of group restructure”

−Removed: associated with onerous property leases.
−Removed: To qualify as being an adjusting item, costs must be part of a large restructuring project,

−Removed: above in the Results of Operations line item discussions.
−Removed: Total expense, net includes interest
−Removed: income, interest expense, change in fair value of earnout liability, change in fair value

−Removed: We believe that accounting for nil margin

−Removed: Net cash generated by financing activities
−Removed: Effect of exchange rates on cash
−Removed: Net increase in cash and cash equivalents
−Removed: cash provided by operating activities.
−Removed: In the year, net cash inflow provided by operating activities was $30.7 million,
−Removed: compared to $35.2 million inflow in the prior year, representing a $4.5 million decrease in cash generation.
−Removed: interest expense increased by $3.6 million to $9.0 million.
−Removed: The current period’s non-cash interest expense related to amortization
−Removed: of debt fees incurred in relation to the business refinancing in August 2018 and in October 2019 with the subsequent extinguishment
−Removed: of all unamortized fees from August 2018 following the October 2019 refinancing.
−Removed: The prior year’s expense related to PIK
−Removed: interest charged on the debt held prior to the refinancing in August 2018 with amortization of debt fees only from the point of
−Removed: the business refinancing in August 2018.
−Removed: in fair value of derivative, warrant and earnout liabilities and stock-based compensation expense increased by $28.0 million,
−Removed: from an outflow of $15.6 million to an inflow of $12.4 million.
−Removed: Movements in the market value of the stock price
−Removed: resulted in an $8.0 million higher earnout inflow in the current period, a $3.2 million higher inflow relating to stock-based compensation
−Removed: expense and a $1.6 million higher inflow relating to derivative liabilities.
−Removed: These were offset by a $9.5 million higher outflow relating
−Removed: to cross currency swaps.
−Removed: The expense relating to the change in the fair value of the warrant liability increased by $24.8 million
−Removed: in the year from income of $20.7 million to an expense of $4.1 million.
−Removed: currency translation on our senior bank debt and cross currency swaps following the refinancing on October 1, 2019 resulted in a loss
−Removed: in the year of $2.8 million as a result of the movement in exchange rates during the current period, compared to a loss of $2.7
−Removed: million in the prior year.
−Removed: Depreciation,
−Removed: amortization and impairment increased by $1.1 million to a charge of $43.0 million due to a $1.0 million amortization charge on
−Removed: operating lease liabilities with small increases in machine and intangible asset charges largely offset by lower amortization
−Removed: on development costs and licenses.
−Removed: The operating lease liability amortization relates to the application of ASC842 and was not
−Removed: applied to the prior year.
−Removed: net cash generated by operating activities increased by $11.1 million, to a $10.2 million inflow.
−Removed: The strong performance
−Removed: compared to the prior year was driven by several factors.
−Removed: Lower capital spending, partly as a result of the Triennial Implementation
−Removed: and favorable timing of supplier payments improved cash inflow by $6.6 million whilst lower inventory levels contributed $3.3 million.
−Removed: Improved collection of accounts receivable in the current year benefitted cash inflow by $3.8 million along with favorable movements
−Removed: in accruals of $8.3m (including timing on the debt interest payments of $6.1 million).
−Removed: This was partly offset by an expected reversal
−Removed: of the deferred revenue creditor $12.7 million with the prior year benefitting from the build and roll out of the second phase of Greece
−Removed: within net cash provided by operating activities were $6.1 million of payments relating to the transaction expenses and $3.3 million
−Removed: of payments relating to restructuring costs.
−Removed: This compares to $0.7 million of payments relating to transaction expenses in the
−Removed: cash used in investing activities.
−Removed: Net cash used in investing activities increased by $90.6 million to $133.4 million.
−Removed: The increase was due to the acquisition of NTG in October 2019 for $105.9 million including cash acquired, which was offset by
−Removed: a $14.8 million reduction in the level of spend on property and equipment versus the prior year, which included the Greece roll
−Removed: out and Flex 4k terminal build.
−Removed: cash generated by financing activities.
−Removed: Net cash generated by financing activities was $113.5 million in 2019, compared
−Removed: to $12.4 million in the prior year.
−Removed: The refinancing in the current year produced an inflow of $255.3 million after associated
−Removed: debt fees with repayment of the previous debt of $144.2 million.
−Removed: Movements in the level of revolver drawn resulted in a $2.8 million
−Removed: inflow and a finance lease payment resulted in a $0.4 million outflow.
−Removed: The prior year refinancing generated an inflow of $135.0
−Removed: million after associated debt fees with a $109.3 million repayment of the previous debt.
−Removed: Revolver repayments led to a $12.8 million
−Removed: outflow with finance leases being a $0.5 million outflow.
−Removed: Needs and Sources
−Removed: of December 31, 2019, the Company’s cash on hand was $29.1 million and the Company had working capital of $15.7
−Removed: As of December 31, 2019, $5.0 million of our cash on hand had arisen from our operations in Greece and was being
−Removed: held in local accounts.
−Removed: In the ordinary course of business, we seek, from time to time, to transfer funds earned in Greece to
−Removed: our accounts outside of Greece.
−Removed: However, Greece imposes capital controls that can delay or prevent the flow of capital out of
−Removed: The Company recorded net losses of $37.0 million, $4.7 million and $20.6 million for the year ended December 31,
−Removed: 2019, the three months ended December 31, 2018 and the year ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Net losses include
−Removed: non-cash stock-based compensation of $9.0 million, $1.6 million and $7.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, the
−Removed: three months ended December 31, 2018 and the year ended September 30, 2019, respectively.
−Removed: Historically, the Company has
−Removed: generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by
−Removed: operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations.
−Removed: Working capital of
−Removed: $15.7 million includes a non-cash settled item of $10.1 million of deferred income.
−Removed: Management currently believes that,
−Removed: absent any long term COVID-19 impact, the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from
−Removed: operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings
−Removed: will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through March 2021.
−Removed: outbreak of COVID-19 adds uncertainty that may ultimately impact on the Company’s ability to meet its covenant compliance
−Removed: and its ability to carry on as a going concern.
−Removed: Management believes that the going concern basis of preparation remains appropriate
−Removed: given the mitigating effect of liquidity preservation actions taken in light of the current COVID-19 control measures which are
−Removed: fund our obligations, we have historically relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of
−Removed: additional debt or the refinancing of existing debt.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2019, we had liquidity of $29.1 million in cash and cash
−Removed: equivalents, plus a further $23.8 million of an undrawn revolver facility.
−Removed: This compares to $16.0 million of cash and cash equivalents
−Removed: plus a further $9.3 million of an undrawn revolver facility at the end of the prior year.
−Removed: We had a working capital inflow of $8.7
−Removed: million in 2019, compared to a $0.9 million outflow in the prior period.
−Removed: The level of our working capital surplus or deficit varies
−Removed: with the level of machine production we are undertaking and our capitalization.
−Removed: In periods with minimal machine volumes and capital
−Removed: spend, our working capital is more stable.
−Removed: In periods where significant numbers of machines are being produced, the levels of
−Removed: inventory and creditors are higher than typical and there is a natural timing difference between converting the stock into sellable
−Removed: or capitalized plant and settling payments to suppliers.
−Removed: These factors, along with movements in trading activity levels, can result
−Removed: in significant working capital volatility.
−Removed: In periods of low activity, our working capital volatility is reduced.
−Removed: Working capital
−Removed: is reviewed and managed with the aim of ensuring that current liabilities are covered by the level of cash held and the expected
−Removed: level of short-term receipts.
−Removed: amounts of our cash flows from operations arise from our operations in Greece.
−Removed: As of December 31, 2019, $5.0 million of our $29.1
−Removed: million of cash and cash equivalents had arisen in Greece and was being held in our Greek bank accounts.
−Removed: In the ordinary course
−Removed: of business, we seek from time to time to transfer funds earned in Greece to accounts of ours outside Greece.
−Removed: However, up until
−Removed: September 1, 2019, Greece imposed capital controls that sometimes complicated, delayed or prevented the flow of capital out of
−Removed: that country.
−Removed: Historically, we have always been able to complete such transfers.
−Removed: Since September 1, 2019, capital controls are
−Removed: no longer in place.
−Removed: Company has undertaken a review of its operations in order to enable it to reduce its global costs and to more effectively align
−Removed: its resources with its business priorities.
−Removed: In connection with this review, the Company is in the process of consolidating and
−Removed: relocating certain of its operations in the UK and has implemented, and expects to continue to implement, a related reduction
−Removed: in headcount.
−Removed: These changes continue the Company’s prior cost control efforts.

−Removed: increasing $1.0 million and hardware revenue decreasing by $0.3 million.
−Removed: SBG revenue, which is included in total revenue, above, increased
−Removed: by $0.7 million on a functional currency at constant rate basis, or 3.0% on a functional currency basis, comprised of growth in
−Removed: service revenue of $1.0 million offset by a reduction in hardware sales of $0.3 million.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis SBG service
−Removed: revenue increased by $1.0 million, or 4.5% on a functional currency basis, due to growth in the Italian sector of $0.9 million.
−Removed: In addition, growth in Greece drove revenue increases of $0.6 million, due to the continued rollout into the Greek sector which
−Removed: drove additional participation revenue of $1.2 million and other recurring revenue of $0.6 million.
−Removed: This was partly offset by a
−Removed: $1.2 million reduction in software license sales compared to the prior period.
−Removed: The decrease in hardware revenue was driven by lower hardware
−Removed: sales in the UK sector of $0.3 million.
−Removed: Virtual Sports revenue remained unchanged on a functional currency
−Removed: at constant rate basis, due to growth in Finland and Italy of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
−Removed: Growth was negatively
−Removed: affected by $0.2 million due to a reduction in revenue from long-term Virtual Sports licenses that have now expired and $0.1 million
−Removed: from lower interactive game sales.
−Removed: Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization
−Removed: Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, which includes
−Removed: machine cost of sales, consumables, content royalties and connectivity costs, increased by $0.5 million, or 7.7%, on a reported

−Removed: Of this increase, $0.3 million arose from favorable currency movements.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant

−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis cost of service
−Removed: increased by $1.1 million, or 20.2% on a functional currency basis, due to increasing SBG costs.
−Removed: This was driven by an increase
−Removed: in Greece SBG service costs of $0.8 million and an increase in Italy SBG service costs of $0.3 million.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis cost of hardware
−Removed: decreased by $0.3 million, or 30.7% on a functional currency basis, due to lower hardware sales in the UK sector.
−Removed: Selling, general and administrative expenses
−Removed: SG&A expenses decreased by $1.1 million, or 6.8%, on a reported
−Removed: basis, to $15.3 million.
−Removed: Of this decrease, $0.7 million arose from favorable currency movements.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant
−Removed: rate basis, SG&A expenses decreased by $0.4 million, or 2.6% on a functional currency basis.
−Removed: This decrease was driven by staff
−Removed: related cost savings of $1.8 million, facilities and insurance cost savings of $0.1 million and legal cost savings of $0.1 million.
−Removed: These savings were offset by an increase in Italian tax related costs relating to prior years invoicing of $0.9 million (removed
−Removed: from Adjusted EBITDA) and a decrease in net labor capitalization and manufacturing recoveries of $0.8 million due to mix of projects
−Removed: and lower factory throughput as a result of fewer machines being built in the quarter.
−Removed: Stock-based compensation
−Removed: During the three months ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded
−Removed: an expense of $1.6 million with respect to outstanding awards.
−Removed: Of this cost, $1.7 million related to recurring costs and a $0.1
−Removed: million credit was due to changes in the stock price from $6.10 at September 30, 2018 to $4.80 at December 31, 2018.
−Removed: three months ended December 31, 2017, there was a $3.2 million charge for stock-based compensation which included a $2.1 million

−Removed: Acquisition related transaction expenses
−Removed: Acquisition related transaction expenses decreased by $0.5 million
−Removed: in the period to $0.1 million.
−Removed: All of the 2018 and 2017 period expenses were related to work with respect to potential acquisitions.
−Removed: Depreciation and amortization
−Removed: Depreciation and amortization remained unchanged in the period at
−Removed: $9.6 million.
−Removed: This was impacted by favorable currency movements of $0.4 million.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis, depreciation
−Removed: and amortization increased by $0.4 million, or 4.7% on a functional currency basis.
−Removed: This increase was driven by additional amortization
−Removed: in connection with new platforms and games going live on SBG of $0.4 million.
−Removed: The additional machine depreciation was driven by
−Removed: the continued terminal rollout in the Greek sector of $0.9 million, partly offset by lower depreciation in the UK ($0.6 million)
−Removed: and Italy ($0.1 million) due to machines being fully depreciated.
−Removed: Net operating loss
−Removed: During the period on a reported basis, net operating loss improved
−Removed: from a loss of $4.4 million to a loss of $2.4 million.
−Removed: This improvement was partly driven by a $0.1 million favorable currency
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis, net operating loss decreased by $1.9 million, mainly due to an increase
−Removed: in revenue, a reduction in stock-based compensation, acquisition related transaction and SG&A expenses, partly offset by higher
−Removed: cost of sales and depreciation and amortization.
−Removed: Interest expense
−Removed: Interest expense decreased by $0.8 million in the period, to $4.1
−Removed: million, on a reported basis.
−Removed: Of this variance, $1.0 million was due to lower interest charges on the new debt funding following
−Removed: the refinancing in August 2018 and a further $0.3 million arose from currency retranslations of bank accounts.
−Removed: These were partly
−Removed: offset by a $0.5 million charge in the current period relating to amortization of debt fees following the refinancing.
−Removed: Change in fair value of earnout liability
−Removed: Due solely to changes in the share price ($4.80 at December 31,
−Removed: 2018 and $6.10 at September 30, 2018) the credit in the three months ended December 31, 2018 from a change in the fair value of
−Removed: earnout liability was $1.7 million.
−Removed: In the prior period, due to changes in share price and as a result of changes relating to six
−Removed: specific countries (China, Colombia, Greece, Norway, Spain and Ukraine) the corresponding figure was a $4.7 million credit.
−Removed: Change in fair value of derivative liability
−Removed: Change in fair value of derivative liability increased by $0.5 million,
−Removed: to a $0.9 million credit for the three months ended December 31, 2018 arising from the fair valuing of the cross-currency swaps
−Removed: executed in August 2018 on the refinancing of the company.
−Removed: For the three months ended December 31, 2017 the change in fair value
−Removed: of derivative liability was a $0.3 million credit for derivative awards which were converted to stock-based compensation awards
−Removed: in March 2018.
−Removed: in fair value of warrant liability
−Removed: to changes in the valuation of the warrant liability, the income recorded in the period decreased from $19.5 million to $6.3 million.
−Removed: Other finance costs
−Removed: Other finance costs for the period ended December 31, 2018 were
−Removed: $0.7 million, $0.9 million higher than the previous period.
−Removed: Changes in exchange rates resulted in a charge of $2.9 million in retranslating
−Removed: the debt balance.
−Removed: This was offset by a $1.9 million credit from the GBP:
−Removed: USD cross currency swap entered into to mitigate this
−Removed: impact, accounted for under hedge accounting, and a $0.2 million pension interest credit which was in line with the previous period.
−Removed: Income tax expense
−Removed: Our effective tax rate for the period ending December 31, 2018 was
−Removed: (1.2)%, and our effective tax rate for the period ending December 31, 2017 was (0.8)%.
−Removed: On a reported basis, net income decreased by $13.7 million
−Removed: from net income of $15.3 million to net income of $1.6 million in the period ended December 31, 2018.
−Removed: variance was partly due to an adverse currency movement of $0.4 million.
−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis
−Removed: net income decreased by $13.4 million, mainly due to the change in fair value of warrant liability, increase in
−Removed: other finance costs and the change in fair value of earnout liability.
−Removed: This was offset by the improvement in net operating loss, the
−Removed: change in fair value of derivative liability and the decrease in interest expense.

−Removed: Customer Gross
−Removed: Win per unit per day (in our functional currency, GBP) decreased by 5.4% across the entire estate, driven by the impact of our

−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis, SBG service revenue increased
−Removed: by $1.0 million, or 4.5% on a functional currency basis, to $21.8 million.
−Removed: This was due to an increase in the Italian sector of
−Removed: $0.9 million due to the growth in both Gross and Net Wins and the Greek sector of $0.6 million, driven by the continued rollout
−Removed: This was partly offset by a decrease in service revenue in UK LBO of $0.4 million primarily due to the expiry of a customer
−Removed: service contract.
−Removed: The continued rollout into the Greek sector drove additional
−Removed: participation revenue of $1.2 million and other recurring revenue of $0.6 million.
−Removed: This was partly offset by a $1.2 million reduction
−Removed: in software license sales compared to the prior period.
−Removed: During the period there was a small reduction in UK LBO Customer
−Removed: Gross Win per unit per day due to the rollout of 1,200 additional terminals.

−Removed: On a functional currency at constant rate basis, cost of sales increased by $0.8 million.
−Removed: was principally due to an increase in service costs of $1.1 million due to Greek SBG service costs of $0.8 million, driven by the
−Removed: increase in terminals as the Greece rollout continues, and an increase in cost of service in Italy of $0.3 million.
−Removed: SG&A expenses decreased by $1.2 million to $6.9 million,
−Removed: on a reported basis.
−Removed: Of this variance, $0.3 million arose from favorable currency movements.
−Removed: This resulted in a functional currency
−Removed: at constant rate decrease of $0.9 million driven by staff related cost savings of $1.1 million, offset by $0.3 million driven by
−Removed: lower manufacturing recoveries due to lower factory throughput.
−Removed: Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.2 million to $7.8
−Removed: million on a reported basis.
−Removed: Of this amount, $0.4 million arose due to favorable currency movements.
−Removed: On a functional currency at

−Removed: machine and machine related depreciation.
−Removed: The additional amortization was driven by new projects going live in the UK and Greek
−Removed: The additional machine and machine related depreciation was driven by the continued terminal rollout in the Greek sector

−Removed: On a functional

−Removed: While revenue remained unchanged, $0.4 million was driven by an
−Removed: increase in Virtual Sports land-based and online recurring revenue, due to new customer revenue in Finland of $0.2 million as well
−Removed: as continued growth in Italy of $0.2 million.
−Removed: Total revenue growth was negatively affected by $0.2 million due to a reduction in

−Removed: from Adjusted EBITDA).
−Removed: This was partly offset by staff related savings of $0.3 million.
−Removed: Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.2 million to $1.4
−Removed: million, on a reported basis.
−Removed: Of this decrease, $0.1 million arose from favorable currency movements.
−Removed: This resulted in a functional

−Removed: Depreciation, amortization and impairment remained constant at $9.6
−Removed: Other net cash utilized by operating activities decreased by $1.1
