AND SUBSIDIARIES INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023 Page Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm PCAOB ID # 688 F-2 Consolidated Balance Sheets F-4 Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) F-5 Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Deficit F-6 Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows F-7 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements F-8 F- 1 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM To the Stockholders and Board of Directors of Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries Opinion on the Financial Statements We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Inspired Entertainment, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), stockholders’ deficit and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, based on our audit results, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2024, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2024, based on the criteria established in Internal Control – Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission and our report dated March 26, 2025, expressed an adverse opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting because of the existence of material weaknesses. Basis for Opinion These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. Critical Audit Matters The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the financial statements and (2) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. Revenue Recognition As described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s revenues are generated through four segments (Gaming, Virtual, Interactive, and Leisure). Each of the four segments provides different offerings to their customers. Examples include: (a) Gaming revenue includes delivery of gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming software, sever-based content, as well as services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades, and content development; (b) Virtual revenue includes packaged products and services in either an on-premise solution or a hosted solution; (c) Interactive revenue is generated from various game content made available via third party aggregation platforms integrated with the Company’s remote gaming server or direct to operators on the Company’s remote gaming servers platform, and services such as customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades; and (d) Leisure revenue is generated by jointly or wholly operating arcades, proving managed service solutions, and more. The Company recognized revenue of $297.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. Most of the Company’s revenue contracts with customers include multiple promises, the nature of which can vary for each segment and contract. The Company is required to identify whether a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. The evaluation of whether promises are both capable of being distinct in the context of a contract (and thus constitute performance obligations) can require significant judgment and could change the amount of revenue recognized in a given period. We identified auditing the Company’s identification of the performance obligations as a critical audit matter because there is significant judgment exercised by management when evaluating their customer contracts, which may include several promised goods and services, as well as identifying the correct transaction price, all of which will impact the amount of revenue recognized in a given period. This required a high degree of auditor judgment in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence. F- 2 The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter included: ● We obtained an understanding of management’s process for customer contracts in accordance with the applicable accounting standards. ● We evaluated the terms and considerations of the customer contracts on a sample basis. ● We identified the promised goods and services within the customer contracts to ensure that these promised goods and services were consistent with the standard offering by the Company. ● We assessed the transaction price per contract to ensure the pricing structure was consistent with all other contracts. ● We tested certain contracts to ensure the lease and non-lease components of the contract are recognized under the applicable accounting standards. Software development costs As described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company develops software for internal use and capitalizes the software development costs incurred during the application development stage. Costs are capitalized when preliminary development efforts are successfully completed, management has authorized and committed project funding, and it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used as intended. The Company will stop capitalizing these costs when the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, including the completion of all significant testing. Costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be two to five years. Additionally, the Company develops software for external use and capitalizes the software development costs incurred once technological feasibility has been reached. Technological feasibility is achieved when the entity has completed all planning, designing, coding, and testing activities that are necessary to establish that the product can be produced to meet its design specifications including functions, features, and technical performance requirements. The Company will stop capitalizing these costs on the date that the software is available for general release to the customers. Costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the related asset, generally estimated to be two to five years. The Company capitalized $11.8 million of software development costs, with the majority of the costs being employee wages, during the year ended December 31, 2024. Total capitalized software development costs are $22.4 million as of December 31, 2024. We identified software development costs as a critical audit matter because of the judgment exercised by management in determining whether costs incurred on software development projects have met the capitalization criteria, which in turn, required a higher degree of auditor judgment in performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence. The primary audit procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter include: ● We obtained an understanding of management’s process for evaluating software development costs and the nature of software development costs capitalized. ● We assessed management’s methodology utilized in calculating capitalized software development costs which is based on the allocation of capitalized labor costs. We made certain inquiries of project members to further assess the reasonableness of time allocated to the selected projects. ● We inspected underlying documentation for a sample of projects to evaluate whether the costs were capitalizable under the applicable accounting standards. ● We tested individual payroll-related costs, on a sample basis, and assessed whether such costs were properly capitalized based upon the nature and stage of work performed and whether the requisite capitalization criteria were met. ● We conducted corroborative interviews with Company personnel involved in software development regarding the nature and functionality of costs incurred related to capitalized software projects. /s/ Marcum llp Marcum LLP We have served as the Company’s auditor since 2016.

Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Company Description and Nature of Operations We are a global gaming technology company, supplying content, platform, gaming terminals and other products and services to online and land-based regulated lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, predominantly on a business-to-business basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions (i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through third party networks. Our content and other products can be found through the consumer-facing portals of our interactive customers and, through our land-based customers, in licensed betting offices, adult gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls, airports, motorway service areas and leisure parks. Management Liquidity Plans As of December 31, 2024, the Company’s cash on hand was $ 29.3 million, and the Company had working capital in addition to cash of $ 26.6 million. The Company recorded net income of $ 64.8 million, $ 6.9 million and $ 21.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Net income includes non-cash stock-based compensation of $ 7.6 million, $ 11.2 million and $ 10.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Historically, the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows provided by operations amounted to $ 31.7 million, $ 54.7 million and $ 29.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 respectively. Management currently believes that the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through March 2026. F- 8 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). Principles of Consolidation All monetary values set forth in these consolidated financial statements are in US Dollars (“USD”) unless otherwise stated herein. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Foreign Currency Translation For most of our operations, the British pound (“GBP”) is our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the USD. We also have operations where the local currency is the functional currency, including our operations in mainland Europe and North America. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated at period-end rates of exchange, equity is translated at historical rates of exchange and results of operations are translated at the average rates of exchange for the period. Gains or losses resulting from translating the foreign currency financial statements are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ deficit. Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses and Interest expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Aggregate foreign currency losses included in net income amounted to $ 2.4 million, $ 1.1 million and $ 0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. On an ongoing basis, management evaluates these estimates, including those related to the revenue recognition for contracts involving software and non-software elements, allowance for credit losses, inventory reserve for net realizable value, currency swaps, goodwill and intangible assets, useful lives of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, valuation allowances on deferred taxes, pension liability, commitments and contingencies and litigation, among others. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. We regularly evaluate these significant factors and make adjustments when facts and circumstances dictate. Actual results may differ from these estimates. F- 9 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Cash We deposit cash with financial institutions that management believes are of high credit quality. Substantially all of the Company’s cash is held outside of the U.S. Included within the cash balance of $ 29.3 million at December 31, 2024 is $ 2.9 million of cash floats held on site at holiday parks. Accounts Receivable Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Our standard credit terms are net 30 to 60 days. Expected credit losses are estimated using the Aging Schedule method and are determined on the basis of the amount of time that a receivable has remained outstanding. In estimating expected credit losses, management considers all available relevant information, including details about past events, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. Historical credit loss data is utilized as the basis of the estimation. This is then adjusted to take account of conditions that may have existed within the historical data which now differ from current expectations, and to recognize differences in asset-specific risk characteristics. When assessing conditions over the contractual life of the asset, management will utilize historical credit loss experience for the period beyond which it is possible to make reasonable and supportable forecasts. Trade receivables are pooled by segment and the probability of default of each pool is assessed and evaluated. Account balances are charged against the allowance after all collection efforts have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. Under certain contracts, the timing of our invoices does not coincide with revenue recognized under the contract. We have unbilled accounts receivable which represent revenue recorded in excess of amounts invoiced under the contract and generally become billable at contractually specified dates. These amounts consist primarily of revenue from our share of net winnings earned on a daily basis where the billing period does not fall on the last day of the period. We had $ 26.0 million and $ 24.0 million of unbilled accounts receivable as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Inventories Inventories consist primarily of component parts and related parts used in gaming terminals. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, using the first-in-first-out method. We determine the lower of cost or net realizable value of our inventory based on estimates of potentially excess and obsolete inventories after considering historical and forecasted demand and average selling prices. Demand for gaming terminals and parts inventory is also subject to technological obsolescence. Cost includes all direct costs and an appropriate proportion of fixed and variable overheads. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are recorded at cost, and when placed into service, depreciated and amortized to their residual values using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows: Schedule of Property and Equipment Estimated Useful Lives Leasehold property Shorter of the useful life or the life of the lease Gaming and amusement terminals 2 – 7 years Plant and machinery and fixtures and fittings 3 – 10 years Computer equipment 3 – 5 years Our policy is to periodically review the estimated useful lives of our fixed assets. We also assess the recoverability of long-lived assets (or asset groups) whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such an asset (or asset groups) may not be recoverable. Where operating leases include an obligation for repairs and dilapidations costs associated with the retirement of the right-of-use asset, amounts are capitalized at the point at which a liability for an asset retirement obligation is recognized. Repairs and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or sale, the cost of assets disposed and the related accumulated depreciation are written off and any resulting gain or loss is credited or charged to income.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Software Development and Research and Development Costs Research and development costs, which primarily consist of employee compensation costs and exclude costs relating to non-project time, leave and absence, are expensed as incurred, except for software product development costs that are eligible for capitalization, as described below. Total research and development costs amounted to $ 22.7 million, $ 20.3 million and $ 18.3 million in the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Software development costs amounting to $ 7.8 million, $ 7.5 million and $ 6.9 million were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In addition, amounts relating to Costs of obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts, net, of $ 4.2 million, $ 3.9 million and $ 2.9 million were capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We expensed $ 10.7 million, $ 8.9 million and $ 8.5 million during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively as they related to maintenance, research or support costs. Employee related costs associated with these activities are included in Selling, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). We capitalize certain eligible costs incurred to develop internal-use software as well as external use software to be used in the products we sell, lease or market to customers. We account for costs incurred to develop internal use software, including software developed to deliver our cloud-based offerings to customers, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 350-40, Internal Use Software. Consequently, certain direct costs incurred during the application development stages are capitalized while all other related costs are expensed as incurred. Once the software is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, we amortize the capitalized internal use software costs over their estimated economic useful life, which ranges from two to five years. Amortization of such costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). We purchase, license and incur costs to develop external use software to be used in the products we sell, lease or license to customers. Such costs are capitalized under ASC 985-20, Costs of Software to Be Sold, Leased, or Marketed. Costs incurred in developing such software are expensed when incurred as research and development costs until technological feasibility has been established, after which costs are capitalized up to the date the software is available for general release to customers. We capitalize the payments made for software that we purchase or license for use in our products that has previously met the technological feasibility criteria prior to our purchase or license. Once available for general release, capitalized external use software development costs are amortized over the estimated economic life, which ranges from two to five years. Amortization of such costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Goodwill and Other Acquired Intangible Assets Our principal acquired intangible assets relate to goodwill, trademarks, customer relationships and intellectual property licenses. Goodwill represents the excess purchase price over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired in a business combination. Trademarks and customer relationships were originally recorded at their fair values in connection with business combinations. Intellectual property licenses are recorded at cost related to specific contracts. Goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but instead are tested for impairment at least annually. Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over eighteen months to thirteen years to their estimated residual values and reviewed for impairment. Factors considered when assigning useful lives include legal, regulatory and contractual provisions, product obsolescence, demand, competition and other economic factors. Impairment of Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets Prior to 2024, we performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of December 31, the last day of our fiscal period, and whenever other facts and circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2024, we voluntarily made the decision to change the date of our annual impairment assessment from December 31 to December 1. The change was made to align the annual goodwill impairment assessment date more closely with the timing of our annual and long-term budgeting cycles. We determined this change in accounting principle is preferable and will not affect our consolidated financial statements. This change is not applied retrospectively, as we believe the change in goodwill impairment testing date does not represent a material change to our method of applying an accounting principle in light of our internal controls over financial reporting and requirements to assess goodwill impairment upon certain triggering events, and does not delay, accelerate or avoid any impairment charges. Accordingly, the change will be applied prospectively. For fiscal year 2024, we performed our annual goodwill impairment assessment as of December 1, 2024 on each of our reporting units and as of December 31, 2023 in fiscal year 2023. As such, no more than 12 months will have elapsed between our previous assessment. For goodwill impairment evaluations, we first make a qualitative assessment to determine if goodwill is may be impaired. If it is more-likely-than-not that a reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, we then compare the fair value of the reporting unit to its respective carrying amount. Goodwill is carried, and therefore tested, at the reporting unit level. As of December 31, 2024 we have five reporting units, Virtual Sports, Interactive, Leisure, and two reporting units within our Gaming segment. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the amount of the impairment loss, if any, will be measured by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill to its carrying amount and would be charged to operations as an impairment loss. As of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 management determined there were no indicators of impairment and concluded that no impairment was required at any of these dates. We assess the recoverability of long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite useful lives whenever events arise or circumstances change that indicate the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Recoverability of long-lived assets (or asset groups) to be held and used is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset (or asset group) to the expected net future undiscounted cash flows to be generated by that asset (or asset group) or, for identifiable intangibles with finite useful lives, by determining whether the amortization of the intangible asset balance over its remaining life can be recovered through expected net future undiscounted cash flows. The amount of impairment of other long-lived assets and intangible assets with finite lives is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the asset exceeds the fair market value of the asset. As of December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 management determined there were no indicators of impairment and concluded that no impairment was required at any of these dates. Refer to Note 8, “Intangible Assets and Goodwill” for more information. F- 11 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Deferred Revenue and Deferred Cost of Sales Deferred revenue arises from the timing differences between the shipment or installation of gaming terminals and systems products and the satisfaction of all revenue recognition criteria consistent with our revenue recognition policy, as well as prepayment of contracts which are recognized ratably over a service period, such as maintenance or licensing fees. Deferred cost of sales, recorded as prepaid expenses and other assets, consists of the direct costs associated with the manufacture of gaming equipment and systems products for which revenue has been deferred. Amounts expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue in current liabilities. Amounts not expected to be recognized as revenue within the 12 months following the balance sheet date are classified as deferred revenue, net of current portion. Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Company’s debt are capitalized and amortized as interest expense over the term of the related debt. The Company presents debt issuance costs as a reduction from the carrying amount of debt. Only costs that are wholly attributable to obtaining the related debt finance are treated as debt issuance costs. Any other costs are expensed to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) as part of Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses. Value Added Tax The Company is subject to Value Added Tax (“VAT”) in some locations. The amount of VAT liability is determined by applying the applicable tax rate to the invoiced amount of goods and services sold less VAT paid on purchases made with the relevant supporting invoices. VAT is collected from customers by the Company on behalf of the tax authorities and is therefore not charged to the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). Derivative Financial Instruments The Company reviews any freestanding derivative financial instruments at each balance sheet date and classifies them on the consolidated balance sheet as: a) Equity if they (i) require physical settlement (full or net-share settlement), or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or physical settlement in its own shares (full or net shares), or b) Assets or liabilities if they (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the Company’s control), or (ii) give the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (full physical settlement or net-share settlement). F- 12 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 At each reporting date, the Company determines whether a change in classification between assets and liabilities is required. From time to time we enter into foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risk associated with cash payments required to be made in non-functional currencies or to mitigate the risk associated with cash to be received in non-functional currencies. Revenue Recognition The Company evaluates the recognition of revenue and rental income based on the criteria set forth in ASC 606 or ASC 842, as appropriate. Revenue is recognized net of rebates and discounts when control of the promised goods or services is transferred to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Under ASC 606, a performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods and services, to a customer. Revenue is recognized when performance obligations are satisfied, and the customer obtains control of promised goods or services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for goods or services. Under the standard, a contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: 1. identify the contracts with a customer; 2. identify the performance obligations within the contract, including whether they are distinct in the context of the contract and capable of being distinct; F- 13 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 3. determine the transaction price; 4. allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and 5. recognize revenue when, or as, the Company satisfies each performance obligation. Step 1 – Identify the contract The Company identifies contracts with its customers when all parties have approved the contract and are committed to perform their respective obligations, when each party’s rights and the payment terms regarding the goods or services to be transferred can be identified. The contract must also have commercial substance, and it must be probable that the Company will collect the consideration to which it will be entitled. Contracts entered into at or near the same time with the same customer or related parties of the customer are accounted for as one contract if any of the following criteria are met: a. Contracts were negotiated as a single commercial package (including whether a contract would be loss-making without taking into account the consideration received under another contract) b. Consideration in one contract depends on the other contract c. Goods or services (or some of the goods or services) are a single performance obligation. Step 2 – Identify performance obligations Performance obligations are identified by considering whether a good or service is distinct. The Company considers a good or service to be distinct only when the customer can benefit from it either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available, and when the promise to transfer the good or service to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. The Company applies the series guidance to its performance obligations where the following criteria apply: a. Each distinct good or service in the series meets the criteria to be a performance obligation satisfied over time. b. The same method would be used to measure progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation to transfer each distinct good or service in the series to the customer. Step 3 – Determine the transaction price The Company considers all amounts to which it has rights in exchange for the goods or services transferred in determining the transaction price. This includes fixed and variable consideration. If the consideration promised by a customer includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount to which we expect to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method. In the case where the variable consideration is in the form of usage based fees, the Company evaluates the royalties to determine whether they qualify for the sales and usage-based royalty exception, as discussed under Step 5. The Company also considers the impact of any liquidated damages clauses or service level agreements that could result in credits or refunds to the client or incentive payments/bonuses from the customer upon achieving certain agreed-upon metrics. Incentive payments are accounted for as variable considerations when the likely amount of revenue to be recognized can be estimated to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of any incremental revenue will not occur. Additionally, customers with volume discounts in contracts with functional IP are not considered to have material rights as royalty revenue is recognized when usage occurs. Where variable considerations relate to a performance obligation determined to be a series, variable consideration is not estimated upfront in accordance with the exception allowed by ASC 606. The Company’s contracts with customers generally do not include non-cash consideration. In determining the transaction price, the Company adjusts the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the payment terms are not standard and the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract provide the customer or the Company with a significant benefit of financing, in which case the contract contains a significant financing component. In accordance with the practical expedient in ASC 606-10-32-18, the Company elected to not assess the existence of a significant financing component when the difference between payment and transfer of deliverables is a year or less. Invoices are generally issued as control transfers and/or as services are rendered. Our standard payment terms dictate that payment is due upon receipt of invoice, payable within 30 to 60 days. Sales taxes and all other items of a similar nature are excluded from the measurement of the transaction price and shipping and handling activities are treated as a fulfillment of our promise to transfer the goods, hence, included in cost of sales. F- 14 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Step 4 – Allocate the transaction price The Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation based on the relative standalone selling prices of the goods or services being provided. Where a contract includes multiple performance obligations, the Company determines the standalone selling price at contract inception of the distinct good or service underlying each performance obligation in the contract and allocates the transaction price in proportion to those standalone selling prices. Where possible, the Company uses the price charged for the good or service to other customers in similar circumstances as evidence of a standalone selling price. Where this is not possible, the standalone selling price is estimated by experienced management using the best available judgement considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, overall market conditions, including geographic or regional specific factors, competitive positioning, competitor actions, internal costs, profit objectives, and pricing practices. With respect to performance obligations that are considered to be a series, where appropriate and where the required criteria are met, variable consideration is allocated entirely to a distinct good or service that is part of a series. Step 5 – Recognize revenue The Company recognizes revenue over time for performance obligations that meet one of the following criteria: a. The customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Company’s performance as the Company performs. b. The Company’s performance creates or enhances an asset that the customer controls as the asset is created or enhanced. c. The Company’s performance does not create an asset with an alternative use to the Company, and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. Revenue for the Company’s remaining performance obligations that do not meet one of the above criteria is recognized at the point at which the customer obtains control of the good or service. The Company assesses usage-based royalties it receives as consideration in contracts that predominantly relate to licenses of its intellectual property to determine if such royalties constitute a sales- or usage-based royalty, according to ASC 606-10-55-65, in which case the usage-based royalties are recognized as revenue when the usage occurs, and is reported by the licensee. Acting as a Principal or an Agent The Company evaluates arrangements where they may be acting as a principal or an agent. We may include subcontractor services or third-party vendor services or products in certain arrangements. In these arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor services or products are recorded net of our costs when we are acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when we are the principal for the transaction. To determine whether we are an agent or principal, we consider whether we obtain control of the services or products before they are transferred to the customer. In making this evaluation, several factors are considered, most notably whether we have primary responsibility for fulfillment to the customer, as well as inventory risk and pricing discretion. Segment Revenue The Company has detailed evaluation of segment specific revenue recognition requirements under ASC 606 or ASC 842, as appropriate. Gaming Revenue Gaming contracts typically include multiple performance obligations such as delivery of our gaming terminals preloaded with proprietary gaming software, sever-based content, as well as services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades on an when and if available basis and content development. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically takes the form of a fixed price per terminal billed upfront and a usage based fee in the form of percentage of net winnings, billed in arrears (usually monthly). Transaction price is allocated to all performance obligations within a contract on the basis of their standalone selling prices. Terminal revenue is recognized at the point in time in accordance with contractual terms of each arrangement, but predominantly upon transfer of physical possession of the terminal or the lapse of customer acceptance provisions. Services such as terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades and content development are considered stand-ready obligations; therefore, control transfers and revenue is recognized over time over the term of the service period. As the license of our intellectual property is the predominant item to which the royalty relates, revenue is recognized in the period the sale or usage occurs, and is reported by the licensee. The Company also enters into arrangements that provide the customer with the right to use the terminals, wherein the Company operates as both a lessor and a content and service provider. ASC 842 provides a practical expedient that permits lessors to aggregate non-lease components (sever-based content, terminal repairs, maintenance, software updates and upgrades and content development) and the associated lease components (terminals) if certain conditions are met and account for the combined unit of accounting under either ASC 606 or ASC 842, based on the predominant characteristic in the arrangement. In contracts where we provide content and services that are identified as non-lease components as well as underlying assets that are identified as lease components and the lease is an operating lease, the content and service provided to the customer represents the most critical element of the arrangement. The Company has elected to combine the non-lease component and the lease component and account for the entire arrangement under ASC 606 based on the consideration that the content and service offering is the predominant and critical element of the contract. F- 15 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Virtual Sports Revenue In Virtual Sports, the Company packages products and services in two ways: ● An on-premise solution which consists of a complex software and networking package delivered to retail betting outlets that may install and run the solution in their own environment without connection to Inspired’s platform; and ● A hosted solution capable of fulfilling the product delivery needs of the Company’s customers which includes the proprietary Virtual Plug and Play end to end online and mobile turnkey solutions and a cloud-based solution that requires an XML sportsbook integration that is fully hosted and operated by Inspired. For the on-premise solution, contracts typically include multiple performance obligations such as delivery of the software license, games and the content in addition to certain services such as software maintenance, support, updates, upgrades on an when and if available basis and content development. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations is a royalty that typically takes the form of a percentage of net winnings billed in arrears (usually monthly). As the license of intellectual property is the predominant item to which the royalty relates, the sales- and usage-based royalty is recognized in the period the sale or usage occurs, and is reported by the licensee. Services such as software maintenance, support, updates, upgrades on an when and if available basis and content development are considered stand-ready obligations; therefore, control transfers and revenue is recognized over time over the term of the service period. Occasionally, customer arrangements also may include licenses for which the Company bills an upfront fixed fee. Revenue from such licenses is recognized at the point in time the customer obtains the right to use the license. Upfront fees are normally billed upon signing of the relevant agreement, and become due and payable at set times thereafter. The Company also enters into arrangements to develop bespoke games on a fixed fee basis. The license to bespoke games is recognized at a point in time the customer obtains the right to use the license or when acceptance is obtained, in instances where acceptance is required. The Company has no ongoing service obligations subsequent to customer acceptance of the bespoke game, and they meet the criteria to be considered distinct. Payment for bespoke games is typically due within a number of days after delivery. For the hosted solution, the Company provides daily access to the gaming platform as well as a stand ready obligation to deliver customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades. Such arrangements are accounted for as a single performance obligation composed of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). Consideration with respect to these arrangements typically takes the form of usage based fees (percentage of net winnings) which is recognized as usage is incurred. These fees are billed in arrears (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice. Interactive Revenue Interactive revenue is generated from various games content made available via third party aggregation platforms integrated with Inspired’s remote gaming server or direct to operators on the Company’s remote gaming servers platform, and services such as customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades. The Company provides daily access to these platforms as well as a stand ready obligation to deliver customer support, platform maintenance, updates and upgrades, as such arrangements are accounted for as a single performance obligation composed of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). When required, revenue is estimated based upon the prior period averages. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically takes the form of usage based fees (percentage of net win) which is recognized as usage is incurred. These fees are billed in arrears (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice. Revenue from aggregators who function as an agent is recognized on a net basis while revenue from operators where the Company is the principal is recognized on a gross basis. Leisure Revenue The Company jointly operate arcades within holiday resorts with the resort owners. The Company also wholly operates a number of gaming arcades within certain motorway service stations. The Leisure segment contract typically include one stand-ready performance obligation to provide managed services to pubs, holiday resorts and amusement arcades, both standalone and within motorway service stations. Managed service is an end-to-end management solution to provide a comprehensive range of gaming machine terminals, amusement machine terminals, and service of operating amusements over a term, as well as service obligations related to terminal repairs, content and maintenance, cash collections, personnel and other services. Consideration with respect to these performance obligations typically takes the form of usage based fees (percentage of net win) which is recognized as usage is incurred, with adjustments to account for the movement of income uncollected in the specific period. These fees are billed in arrears (usually monthly) and due typically 30 days from the date of the invoice. The Company also provides terminal maintenance and spares management services to third parties, including customers. Consideration with respect to this stand-ready performance obligation takes the form of either variable fees based on number of machines being serviced during a period or fixed fees per time period. These fees are billed in arrears and typically settled within 30 days. Revenue is recognized over time over the term of the service period . Costs to Obtain or Fulfill a Contract The Company capitalizes certain contract acquisition costs that are incremental to obtaining a contract with a customer, to the extent that such costs are recoverable from the associated contract margin. Capitalized contract acquisition costs primarily consist of certain sales commissions programs paid to internal sales personnel and external advisors. The Company also capitalizes certain costs to fulfill a contract with a customer when the costs relate directly to the contract, are expected to generate resources that will be used to satisfy a future performance obligation under the contract and are expected to be recovered through revenue generated under the contract. These costs primarily consist of employee-related costs for time incurred on software development projects associated with customer contracts. Capitalized contract acquisition costs and costs to fulfill a contract are amortized on a systematic basis over the expected period of benefit which ranges from 0 to 3 years based on the contract term and pattern of transfer of the underlying goods and/or services being provided to the customer. Capitalized costs to obtain and fulfill contracts with customers are included in Costs of obtaining and fulfilling customer contracts, net, in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and amortization of such costs is included in Depreciation and amortization in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). F- 16 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Disaggregation of revenue Information on disaggregation of revenue is included in Note 25, “Segment Reporting and Geographic Information.” Shipping and Handling Costs Shipping and handling costs for products sales and terminals related to subscription services are included in cost of sales for all periods presented. Share-Based Payment Arrangements The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”). ASC 718 requires generally that all equity awards be accounted for at their “fair value.” This fair value is measured on the grant date for stock-settled awards. Fair value is equal to the underlying value of the stock for “full-value” awards such as restricted stock and restricted stock units that have time and performance vesting conditions, restricted stock and restricted stock units that have market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. The Company has elected to recognize stock-based compensation cost using the graded vesting attribution method for each separately vesting tranche of the award from the grant date to the date that each tranche vests over the requisite service period for the restricted stock and restricted stock units. Costs equal to these fair values are recognized ratably over the requisite service period based on the number of awards that are expected to vest, or in the period of grant for awards that vest immediately and have no future service condition. The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. For awards that vest over time, previously recognized compensation cost is reversed if the service or performance conditions are not satisfied and the award is forfeited. Subsequent modifications to outstanding awards result in incremental cost if the fair value is increased as a result of the modification. The incremental cost is charged over the estimated derived service period. Income Taxes Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Our provision for income taxes is principally based on current period income (loss), changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities and changes in estimates with regard to uncertain tax positions. We estimate current tax expense and assess temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes using enacted tax rates in effect for each taxing jurisdiction in which we operate for the period in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. These differences result in deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our total deferred tax assets are principally comprised of depreciation and net operating loss carry forwards. Significant management judgment is required to assess the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. In assessing the realizability of these deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. Management makes this assessment on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis considering the historical trend of taxable losses, projected future taxable income and the reversal of deferred tax liabilities. We evaluate income tax uncertainties, assess the probability of the ultimate settlement with the applicable taxing authority and records an amount based on that assessment. Interest and penalties, if any, associated with uncertain tax positions are included in income tax expense. Comprehensive (Loss) Income We include and separately classify in comprehensive (loss) income unrealized gains and losses, gains or losses associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits, prior service costs or credits associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits and transition assets or obligations associated with pension or other post-retirement benefits. F- 17 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Leases We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception of the arrangement. Once it is determined that an arrangement is, or contains, a lease, that determination should only be reassessed if the legal arrangement is modified. Changes to assumptions such as market-based factors do not trigger a reassessment. Determining whether a contract contains a lease requires judgement. In general, arrangements are considered to be a lease when all of the following apply: ● it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration; ● we have substantially all economic benefits from the use of the asset; and ● we can direct the use of the identified asset. The terms of a lease arrangement determine how a lease is classified and the resulting income statement recognition. When the terms of a lease effectively transfer control of the underlying asset, the lease represents an in substance financed purchase (sale) of an asset and the lease is classified as a finance lease by the lessee and a sales-type lease by the lessor. When a lease does not effectively transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee, but the lessor obtains a guarantee for the value of the asset from a third party, the lessor would classify a lease as a direct financing lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Where a lease contains more than one component, the consideration in the contract is allocated on a relative standalone price basis to the separate lease components and the non-lease components. Leases – the Company as lessee Lease assets and lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at commencement date. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate based on the information available on the date that we adopted Topic 842, or the commencement date, if later, in determining the present value of future payments. The lease ROU asset includes any lease payment made and initial direct costs incurred. Our operating lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease which are included in the measurement of the ROU assets and lease liabilities when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. F- 18 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 The lease expense for minimum operating lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance lease assets are amortized straight-line over their useful life where the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset, or to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the asset and the end of the lease term where ownership is not transferred. Interest on finance leases is recognized as the amount that results in a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the liability. We have operating lease agreements with lease and non-lease components. The Company did not make the election to treat the lease and non-lease components as a single component and considers the non-lease components as a separate unit of account. The Company has elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842 to short-term operating leases. We recognize the lease payments for short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable lease payments in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. Leases – the Company as lessor The Company’s lease arrangements are a mixture of sales-type leases and operating leases. Sales-type lease receivables are recognized based on the net investment in the lease, at the present value of future minimum lease payments receivable over the lease term, plus any guaranteed residual value of the underlying asset, at the commencement date. The discount rate used in determining the present value of the future minimum lease payments is the rate implicit in the lease. This is calculated using the fair value of the underlying asset and the present value of any unguaranteed residual value. The underlying asset is derecognized at the point of inception and a selling profit is recognized at lease commencement. Subsequent interest income is recognized over the term of the lease, at an amount that produces a constant periodic discount rate on the remaining balance of the net investment in the lease. For operating leases, we continue to recognize the underlying asset. Lease income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. F- 19 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Recently Issued Accounting Standards In October 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-06, “Disclosure Improvements – Codification Amendments in Response to the SEC’s Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative” (“ASU 2023-06”). ASU 2023-06 modifies the disclosure or presentation requirements of a variety of Topics in the Codification. Certain of the amendments represent clarifications to or technical corrections of the current requirements. The guidance will be effective on the date on which the SEC’s removal of that related disclosure from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, with early adoption prohibited. If by June 30, 2027, the SEC has not removed the applicable requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K, the pending content of the related amendment will be removed from the Codification and will not become effective. The amendments in the Update should be applied prospectively. The adoption of ASU 2023-06 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures. In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 enhance income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization, disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories, and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods beginning on January 1, 2025, with early adoption allowed. The Company is not early adopting ASU 2023-09 and will therefore adopt the standard in the 2025 financial statements. The adoption of ASU 2023-09 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures. In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-02, “Codification Improvements—Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements” (“ASU 2024-02”). This Update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various FASB Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior Statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. ASU 2024-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The adoption of ASU 2024-02 is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statement presentation or disclosures. In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of income statement expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”). The amendments in ASU 2024-03 require disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The amendments require that at each interim and annual reporting period an entity: 1) Disclose the amounts of (a) purchases of inventory, (b) employee compensation, (c) depreciation, (d) intangible asset amortization, and (e) depreciation, depletion, and amortization recognized as part of oil and gas-producing activities (DD&A) (or other amounts of depletion expense) included in each relevant expense caption. A relevant expense caption is an expense caption presented on the face of the income statement within continuing operations that contains any of the expense categories listed in (a)–(e). 2) Include certain amounts that are already required to be disclosed under current generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the same disclosure as the other disaggregation requirements. 3) Disclose a qualitative description of the amounts remaining in relevant expense captions that are not separately disaggregated quantitatively. 4) Disclose the total amount of selling expenses and, in annual reporting periods, an entity’s definition of selling expenses. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. We are still evaluating the effect of this guidance. F- 20 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 Newly Adopted Accounting Standards On January 1, 2024, the Company adopted ASU No. 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280) – Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 improves reportable segment disclosure requirements, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The amendments in the Update 1) Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (CODM) and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss (collectively referred to as the “significant expense principle”). 2) Require that a public entity disclose, on an annual and interim basis, an amount for other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition. The other segment items category is the difference between segment revenue less the segment expenses disclosed under the significant expense principle and each reported measure of segment profit or loss. 3) Require that a public entity provide all annual disclosures about a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets currently required by Topic 280 in interim periods. 4) Clarify that if the CODM uses more than one measure of a segment’s profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources, a public entity may report one or more of those additional measures of segment profit. 5) Require that a public entity disclose the title and position of the CODM and an explanation of how the CODM uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. 6) Require that a public entity that has a single reportable segment provide all the disclosures required by the amendments in this Update and all existing segment disclosures in Topic 280. The Company previously disclosed Cost of service, Cost of product sales, Selling, general and administrative expenses, Stock-based compensation expense, Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses and Depreciation and amortization by reportable segment. The Company has reviewed its financial reporting for additional segment expenses not already disclosed that are regularly provided to the CODM, included in reported segment profit and loss reporting and also which are quantitatively and qualitatively significant. Three categories of expenses met these criteria and have been broken out in segment disclosures. The categories are 1) Staff-related selling, general and administrative expenses, which includes compensation, benefits, bonus and contractor/temporary personnel expenses for each segment. 2) Non-staff related selling, general and administrative expenses, composed of multiple categories across each segment. 3) Labor costs capitalized which include software development costs, a primary business activity and expense for each of the segments. The Company also discloses Other segment items by reportable segment and a description of its composition, together with the title and position of the group that makes up the CODM and how that group uses the reported measure(s) of segment profit or loss in assessing segment performance and deciding how to allocate resources. Disclosures with respect to segment reporting are given in note 25 to these financial statements. 2. Acquisitions and Disposals In January 2022, the Company sold its Italian VLT business, including all terminal and other assets, staff costs and facilities and contracts, to a non-connected party for total proceeds of € 1.1 million ($ 1.2 million), recognizing a profit on disposal of € 0.8 million ($ 0.9 million).

The current portion of unbilled accounts receivable is reported within prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet, and the non-current portion is included in other assets. Right to recover assets are recognized in respect of the transfer of products with a right of return where the Company has also recognized a refund liability. Right to return assets are recognized in other debtors and refund liabilities are recognized as part of deferred income. Contract liabilities (deferred income and customer prepayments and deposits) primarily relate to consideration received from customers in advance of delivery of the related goods and services to the customer. Contract balances are reported in a net contract asset or liability position on a contract-by-contract basis at the end of each reporting period. Revenue recognized that was included in the deferred income balance at the beginning of the period amounted to $ 3.8 million, $ 8.7 million and $ 7.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.875 % per annum and mature on June 1, 2026. Interest is payable on the Senior Secured Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2021. The Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), among Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC, as issuer, the Company and certain English and U.S. subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (collectively and together with the Company, the “Guarantors”), GLAS Trustees Limited, as trustee, GLAS Trust Corporation Limited, as security agent and GLAS Trust Company LLC as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. The terms of the Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees are governed by the Indenture. The Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured first-priority basis by the Guarantors on a joint and several basis. The Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees are secured, subject to certain permitted collateral liens, on a first-priority basis by substantially all assets of the Guarantors and all claims of the Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC under an intercompany loan to Gaming Acquisitions Limited, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“GAL”), of the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes.

Certain of these covenants will be suspended if and for so long as the Senior Secured Notes have investment grade ratings from any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Investors Ratings Services and Fitch Ratings, Inc. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the Indenture. Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC may redeem the Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after June 1, 2023, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture and form of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Revolving Credit Facility In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes on May 20, 2021, the Company and certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “RCF Agreement”) with Global Loan Agency Services Limited, as agent, Barclays Bank plc (“Barclays”) and Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty Limited (UK Branch) (“Macquarie UK” and together with Barclays, the “Arrangers”) as arrangers and each lender party thereto (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide, subject to certain conditions, a secured revolving facility loan in an original principal amount of £ 20 million ($ 25.1 million) under which certain of our subsidiaries are able to draw funds (the “RCF Loan”). The RCF Loans will terminate on November 20, 2025. The funding of the RCF Loan is subject to customary conditions set forth in the RCF Agreement. The undrawn commitment of each Lender under the RCF Loan will automatically terminate, unless previously terminated by the Company, on October 20, 2025. The RCF Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) SONIA for borrowings in sterling, (ii) LIBOR (or, on and after December 31, 2021, SOFR) for borrowings in dollars, or (iii) EURIBOR for borrowings in Euro, as applicable, plus, in each case, a margin (based on the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 4.25 % to 4.75 % per annum. With respect to the RCF Loan, a commitment fee of 30 % of the then applicable margin is payable at any time on any unutilized portion of the RCF Loan. The RCF Agreement contains various covenants (which include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries and fundamental changes, subject in each case to certain exceptions), representations, warranties, limitations and events of default (which include non-payment, breach of obligations under the financing documents, cross-default, insolvency and litigation) customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers and subject to customary carve-outs and grace periods. Following the occurrence of an event of default which has not been waived or remedied, the Lenders who represent more than 66.67 % of total commitments under the RCF may, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement (which governs the relationship between the Lenders and the holders of the Senior Secured Notes), instruct the agent to (i) accelerate the RCF Loans, (ii) instruct the security agent to enforce the transaction security and/or (iii) exercise any other remedies available to the Lenders.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 The RCF Agreement requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.25x on the test date for the relevant period ended June 30, 2021, stepping down to 6.0x on March 31, 2022, 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net income (loss) excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. Covenant testing at December 31, 2024 showed covenant compliance with a net leverage of 3.1x. The outstanding principal amount of each advance under the RCF Loans is payable on the last day of the interest period relating to such advance, unless such advance is rolled over on a cashless basis in accordance with customary rollover provisions contained in the RCF Agreement, with a final repayment on November 20, 2025 . During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company drew down on the RCF Agreement. Amounts due under the RCF Agreement at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023 amounted to £ 15.0 million ($ 18.8 million).

Fair Value Measurements Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate the fair value of our assets and liabilities utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows: Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions. Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that are unable to be corroborated with observable market data. The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments approximates their recorded values. F- 30 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 The fair value of our long-term senior debt as of December 31, 2024, was $ 287.1 million, based upon quoted prices in the marketplace, which are considered Level 2 inputs. Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s Principal Financial Officer, who reports to the Principal Executive Officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s Principal Financial Officer and approved by the Principal Executive Officer. At December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no Level 3 inputs, and no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy. 15. Stockholders’ Deficit Preferred Stock The Company is authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share in one or more series. The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series.

The Company’s 2023 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2023 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 10, 2023 and approved by our stockholders on May 9, 2023. The 2023 Plan succeeds the 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan and the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”) such that shares subject to the unused reserves of the Prior Plans (e.g., as a result of termination or forfeiture of awards) are instead rolled over to the 2023 Plan. The Company has two other predecessor plans, the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Second Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Terminated Plans”), whose available balances were terminated in connection with approval of the 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan. Although outstanding awards under the Terminated Plans remain governed by the terms of such plans, no new awards may be granted or become available for grant thereunder. As of December 31, 2024, there were (i) 866,324 shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2023 Plan, including 452,573 shares subject to performance-based target awards, 93,750 shares subject to market-price vesting conditions and 136,135 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement (a portion of which settled in January 2025) ; (ii) 1,646,807 shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plans, including 62,500 shares subject to performance-based target awards, 97,500 shares subject to market-price vesting conditions, 77,949 shares subject to awards that were previously subject to performance criteria that were determined to have been met which continue to remain subject to a time-based vesting schedule and 1,340,445 shares subject to awards as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement (a portion of which settled in January 2025); and (iii) 1,168,686 shares subject to outstanding awards under the Terminated Plans as to which the applicable vesting conditions have been met which remain subject to deferred settlement. As of December 31, 2024, there were 2,562,170 shares available for new awards under the 2023 Plan (which includes shares rolled over from the Prior Plans) and no shares available for new awards under the Prior Plans. All awards outstanding as of December 31, 2024 consisted of RSUs (including time-based RSUs, performance-based RSUs and stock price based RSUs). F- 31 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that authorizes the issuance of up to an aggregate of 500,000 shares of common stock pursuant to purchases thereunder by employees. The ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in July 2017, is administered by the Compensation Committee which has discretion to designate the length of offering periods and other terms subject to the requirements of the ESPP. Offerings may also be under the ESPP’s subplan for UK-based employees (the “Subplan”) which was adopted in June 2022 and is designed to meet the requirements of a sharesave scheme under UK law. The terms applicable to offerings approved under the ESPP and Subplan for 2023 and 2024 are described below. ESPP — Eligible employees may contribute up to 10 % of base compensation through payroll deductions over a period of twelve months, a maximum of 1,000 shares may be purchased per participant, the purchase price is equal to 85 % of the lower of the closing price of the common stock at the beginning of the offering period and the end of the offering period and shares are purchased on the last day of the offering period. Subplan (UK) — Eligible employees may contribute a maximum amount of £ 350 per month through payroll deductions over a period of three years, the purchase price is equal to 85 % of the closing price of the common stock on the day prior to commencement of the enrollment window for the offering, and participants have a period of six months following the end of the offering to elect to purchase shares or receive a refund. As of December 31, 2024, a total of 460,001 shares remained available for purchase under the ESPP (including in connection with outstanding purchase rights under the Company’s ongoing offering periods). No shares were purchased under the ESPP in 2022, a total of 4,080 shares were purchased in 2023 (at a purchase price of $ 8.483 per share) and a total of 3,670 shares were purchased in 2024 (at a purchase price of $ 8.109 per share). Such shares (from the 2023 and 2024 purchases) were issued in 2024. Based on enrollments in the ESPP (including the Subplan), an aggregate of approximately 125,000 shares were subject to outstanding purchase rights thereunder as of December 31, 2024. A summary of the Company’s RSU activity is as follows: Schedule of Restricted Stock Unit Activity Number of Shares Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value Per Share Unvested Outstanding at January 1, 2024 (1) 1,241,675 $ 12.79 Granted (2) 654,384 $ 9.07 Forfeited ( 272,094 ) $ ( 12.90 ) Vested (3) ( 837,414 ) $ ( 11.77 ) Unvested Outstanding at December 31, 2024 786,551 $ 10.75 (1) The amount shown as “unvested outstanding at January 1, 2024” does not include certain tranches of Adjusted EBITDA RSUs that have performance criteria for annual periods later than 2023 (an aggregate of 312,500 RSUs, including 62,500 subject to 2024 criteria), which were part of sign-on tranches approved for our Executive Chairman and our Chief Executive Officer during the years 2021 and 2023, as the applicable performance targets were not set by January 1, 2024 (and, accordingly, the accounting grant dates had not yet occurred for the tranches). Such tranches had previously been included in the amounts shown in 2023 as unvested outstanding since the initial approval date for the tranches. The targets for the 2024 period were set in February 2024 and the remaining targets (for each of 2025, 2026 and 2027) are anticipated to be set in February of the performance year. (2) The amount shown as “granted” includes 245,694 performance-based target RSUs as to which the number eligible to vest ranged from 0 % to 200 % of the target amount of RSUs (a maximum of 491,388 RSUs based on attainment of Adjusted EBITDA targets for 2024 and criteria previously set by the Compensation Committee). (3) The RSUs that vested during the year ended December 31, 2024 included: (a) approximately 261,700 RSUs that are subject to deferred settlement terms; and (b) approximately 481,600 RSUs that vested on the last day of the year and were settled on a net share basis in January 2025. The Company issued a total of 362,951 shares during the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the Company’s equity-based plans, which included an aggregate of 333,161 shares issued in connection with the net settlement of RSUs that vested during the prior year (primarily on December 29, 2023). The weighted average grant date fair value of awards granted for years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 amounted to $ 9.07 , $ 14.14 and $ 14.36 , respectively. The vesting date value of RSUs vesting for years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 amounted to $ 7.6 million, $ 10.2 million and $ 10.8 million, respectively. When tax deductions from stock options and awards are less than the cumulative book compensation expense, the tax effect of the resulting differences is a shortfall. For the year ended December 31, 2024 an income tax expense of $ 0.5 million was recorded for shortfalls generated from stock options and awards exercised in 2024. There was no income tax benefit recognized related to awards that vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, and 2022 , as there was a full valuation allowance in place against the RSU scheme ’s deferred tax asset. Stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. For performance awards that are contingent upon the Company achieving certain pre-determined financial performance targets, compensation expense is calculated based on the number of shares expected to vest after assessing the probability that the performance criteria will be met. Determining the probability of achieving a performance target requires estimates and judgment. For market-based awards that are contingent upon the Company’s stock achieving certain pre-determined price targets, compensation expense is calculated based upon the determination of the fair value of the awards as derived through multiple running of the Monte Carlo valuation model, with the fair value recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The requisite service period for awards to employees is generally satisfied over a vesting period of three years (and one year for non-employee directors). The Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur. For stock purchase rights under the Company’s ESPP (including its subplan), the Company estimates fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the dates of grant, with the compensation expense recognized over the requisite service period.

AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows: Schedule of Stock Based Compensation Expenses Year Ended December 31, 2024 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2022 (in millions) RSUs $ 6.7 $ 10.4 $ 10.1 ESPP 0.1 0.2 — Payroll taxes on vesting of RSUs 0.8 0.6 0.7 Stock-based compensation expense $ 7.6 $ 11.2 $ 10.8 Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards and unvested RSUs at December 31, 2024 amounts to $ 2.4 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.5 years. 17. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (Income) The accumulated balances for each classification of comprehensive loss (income) are presented below: Schedule of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (Income) Foreign Currency Translation Adjustments Change in Fair Value of Hedging Instrument Unrecognized Pension Benefit Costs Accumulated Other Comprehensive (Income) (in millions) Balance at January 1, 2022 $ ( 71.3 ) $ 1.0 $ 26.7 $ ( 43.6 ) Change during the period ( 12.7 ) ( 0.7 ) 6.4 ( 7.0 ) Balance at December 31, 2022 ( 84.0 ) 0.3 33.1 ( 50.6 ) Change during the period 5.9 ( 0.3 ) 0.7 6.3 Balance at December 31, 2023 ( 78.1 ) — 33.8 ( 44.3 ) Change during the period ( 1.4 ) — ( 4.7 ) ( 6.1 ) Deferred tax on change during the period 1.0 — 1.1 2.1 Balance at December 31, 2024 $ ( 78.5 ) $ — $ 30.2 $ ( 48.3 ) In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes, and the entry into the RCF Agreement, on May 19, 2021, the Company terminated all of its interest rate swaps. Accordingly, hedge accounting is no longer applicable. The amounts previously recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income were amortized into Interest expense over the terms of the hedged forecasted interest payments. Losses reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income into Interest expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Income for the year ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 amounted to $ 0.0 million, $ 0.3 million and $ 0.7 million, respectively. 18. Net Income (Loss) per Share Basic income/loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income/loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options and RSUs, unless the inclusion would be anti-dilutive. The computation of diluted EPS excludes the common stock equivalents of the following potentially dilutive securities because they were either contingently issuable shares or because their inclusion would be anti-dilutive: Schedule of Anti-dilutive Securities Excluded from Computation of Earnings Per Share Year Ended December 31, 2024 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2022 RSUs 253,750 799,756 382,500 The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS computations for the years ended December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.

Income Taxes The effective tax rates for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were ( 3,466.2 ) %, 42.1 % and 8.9 % respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the reversal of a majority of the Company’s valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets in various jurisdictions as well as an inclusion for global low-taxed income. For the year ended December 2023 and 2022, the Company’s effective tax rate differs from the federal statutory rate primarily due to losses in certain jurisdictions where the Company presently has recorded a valuation allowance against the related tax benefit as well as an inclusion for global intangible low-taxed income. The components of earnings before income taxes on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations by the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions were as follows: Schedule of Earnings (Loss) Before Income Tax Year Ended December 31, 2024 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2022 (in millions) United States $ ( 21.6 ) $ ( 17.7 ) $ ( 8.1 ) Foreign jurisdictions 23.4 29.6 31.4 Total earnings (loss) before income taxes $ 1.8 $ 11.9 $ 23.3 Income tax provision, as reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations, consists of the following: Schedule of Provision for Income Taxes Year Ended December 31, 2024 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2022 (in millions) Current provision (benefit) Federal $ 4.6 $ 3.0 $ 0.7 State ( 0.1 ) 0.4 — Foreign 1.9 1.6 1.4 Total current $ 6.4 $ 5.0 $ 2.1 Year Ended December 31, 2024 Year Ended December 31, 2023 Year Ended December 31, 2022 (in millions) Deferred provision (benefit) Federal $ ( 2.7 ) $ — $ — State — — — Foreign ( 66.7 ) — — Total deferred $ ( 69.4 ) $ — $ — Total provision $ ( 63.0 ) $ 5.0 $ 2.1 F- 34 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

The utilization of the Company’s state net operating losses may be subject to a limitation in the future due to the “change of ownership provisions” under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code. As of December 31, 2024, the Company is not aware of an ownership change under Section 382. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company also has gross net operating losses in foreign jurisdictions, primarily the UK, totaling $ 66.8 million and $ 80.7 million, respectively. The majority of these net operating losses have an unlimited carry forward period. Management evaluates both positive and negative evidence to estimate whether sufficient future taxable income will be available to utilize existing deferred tax assets. A key piece of objective positive evidence considered is the cumulative income generated over a three-year period. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company determined that, due to positive income generation in the United Kingdom in recent years leading to a cumulative income position, and based on forecasted future taxable income, while considering expected permanent and temporary timing tax differences, a significant portion of the valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets was no longer necessary. As of December 31, 2024, the Company maintains a valuation allowance of $ 6.4 million in the United States and $ 2.1 million in the United Kingdom. The remaining valuation allowance relates to capital loss carryovers in the United Kingdom, state net operating losses unable to be utilized in the United States and United States interest expected to be limited under Section 163(j). The Company has not recognized deferred tax liabilities in respect of unremitted earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested in foreign subsidiaries. We do not provide for taxes on our undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries that have not been previously taxed because we intend to invest such undistributed earnings indefinitely outside of the United States. Currently, there are no federal, state or foreign jurisdiction tax audits pending. The Company’s corporate federal and state tax returns from 2021 to 2023 remain subject to examination by tax authorities and the Company’s foreign tax returns from 2016 to 2023 remain subject to examination by tax authorities. In accordance with ASC 740, the Company has evaluated its tax positions to determine if there are any uncertain tax positions. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has no unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions and has no accrued interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The Company does not anticipate any material change in the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will occur within the next twelve months. F- 35 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

Leases The Company as Lessee The Company is party to operating leases with third parties with respect to various real estate and vehicle assets. Both real estate and vehicle leases typically include a lease (of the property or vehicle) and a non-lease (provision of services) component which are accounted for separately. Payment terms are typically fixed, however, certain leases may contain various provisions for increases in rental rates based either on changes in a specific price index (such as the published Consumer Price Index CPI), a predetermined escalation schedule or rate, or as a percentage of sales. Such variable lease payments are recognized as lease expense as they are incurred. We initially measure the present value of the lease payments using the index at the lease commencement date. Additional payments based on the future subsequent change in an index or rate, or payments based on a change in our portion of the operating expenses, including real estate taxes and insurance, are recorded when incurred as variable payments. The lease term begins on the commencement date, which is the date the Company takes possession of the property. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease. These options to extend or terminate are assessed on a lease-by-lease basis, and the ROU assets and lease liabilities are adjusted when it is reasonably certain that the option to extend or terminate will be exercised. The lease term is used to determine lease classification as an operating or finance lease and is used to calculate straight-line expense for operating leases. The operating leases have remaining terms of 1 to 11 years. F- 36 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 The Company is also party to finance leases with third parties with respect to gaming machines. Payment terms and interest rates are fixed at lease inception. Minimum amounts of cash are required to be maintained in the Company’s bank accounts with respect to the finance leases. The leases have remaining terms of between 6 months and 4.5 years.

As the lessor, we combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in arrangements that involve operating leases. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers based on the consideration that the non-lease components are the predominant items in the arrangements. If a component cannot be combined, the consideration is allocated between the lease component and the non-lease component based on relative standalone selling price. The lease component is accounted for under ASC 842, Leases and the non-lease component is accounted for under ASC 606. Profit recognized at commencement date of sales type leases amounted to $ 2.7 million, $ 4.9 million and $ 3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Commitments and Contingencies Employment Agreements We are party to employment agreements with our executive officers and other employees of the Company and our subsidiaries which contain, among other terms, provisions relating to severance and notice requirements. Arrangements with Daniel B. Silvers, former Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer Effective January 10, 2023, Mr. Silvers stepped down from his position as Executive Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer of the Company. Pursuant to Mr. Silvers’ employment agreement dated December 14, 2016, as amended, Mr. Silvers was entitled to receive a base salary at a rate of $ 385,000 per year, a target annual bonus of not less than 100 % of his base salary and a maximum annual bonus of 200 % of his base salary. He was also entitled to reimbursement for private medical insurance and to severance benefits over a period of two years which were accrued in 2023. Legal Matters From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business. While the Company believes that, currently, it has no such matters that are material, there can be no assurance that existing or new matters arising in the ordinary course of business will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations. 24. Pension Plan We operate a defined contribution plan in the US and both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes in the UK. The defined contribution scheme assets are held separately from those of the Company in an independently administered fund. The defined contribution pension cost charge represents contributions payable by the Company and amounted to $ 3.5 million, $ 3.4 million and $ 2.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Contributions totaling $ 0.4 million and $ 0.4 million were payable to the fund as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The defined benefit scheme has been closed to new entrants since April 1, 1999 and closed to future accruals for services rendered to the Company for the entire financial statement periods presented in these consolidated financial statements. Retirement benefits are generally based on a portion of an employee’s pensionable earnings during years prior to 2010. The latest triennial actuarial valuation of the scheme as at March 31, 2024 was finalized in March 2025. The actuarial valuation revealed that the statutory funding objective was not met, i.e. there were insufficient assets to cover the Scheme’s Technical Provisions and there was a funding shortfall of £ 2.0 million ($ 2.5 million) at the valuation date. Under the Recovery Plan and Schedule of Contributions agreed between the Trustee and the Company on March 5, 2025, it was agreed that the shortfall will be met by contributions of £ 0.6 million ($ 0.8 million) for the period April 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024 and £ 0.7 million ($ 0.9 million) for the year ended December 31, 2025. The Scheme Actuary will assess the funding position of the Scheme at March 31, 2026 and if the funding level at that point is less than 100% the Company will pay a single lump sum contingent contribution calculated as the lower of the deficit calculated by the Scheme Actuary at March 31, 2026 and £ 0.5 million ($ 0.6 million). This contingent contribution will be payable by October 31, 2026. The Company will also make expense contributions of £ 0.3 million ($ 0.4 million) per annum for the period covered by the Recovery Plan and Schedule of Contributions. F- 39 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023, AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2024, 2023 AND 2022 The trustee has made an allowance for the pension scheme liability profile when deciding the investment strategy of the pension scheme. Since the pension scheme is closed to new entrants and ceased future accrual with effect from March 31, 2010, it has continued to mature gradually. Therefore, the trustee reviews the investment strategy regularly to check whether any changes are needed. When considering the investment strategy, the trustee has taken into account the effect of any possible increases in the deficit reduction contributions on the financial position of the Company, and the extent to which the Company will be able to bear these changes. The scheme’s investment policy is to maximize long-term financial return commensurate with security and minimizing risk, with an objective of achieving a return of around 2.8% per annum above the return on UK Government bonds. This is achieved by holding a portfolio of marketable investments that avoids over-concentration of investment and spreads assets both over industries and geographies. In setting investment strategy, the trustees considered the lowest risk strategy that they could adopt in relation to the scheme’s liabilities and designed an asset allocation to achieve a higher return while maintaining a cautious approach to meeting the scheme’s liabilities. The trustees undertake periodic reviews of the investment strategy and take advice from their investment advisors. They consider a full range of asset classes, the risks and rewards of a range of alternative asset allocation strategies, the suitability of each asset class and the need for appropriate diversification. The current strategy is to hold 14.9% in a diversified growth fund, 15.5% in diversified credit, 6.8% in synthetic equity, 2.5% in synthetic credit, 22.3% in core liability driven investment funds and 38% in a buy-in policy. The Company recognizes gains or losses on pension settlements if the cost of the settlements exceeds the sum of service and interest cost for the year. Lump-sum settlements are monitored at the end of every quarter to determine whether settlement amounts have exceeded the defined thresholds. In instances where the Company determines that it is probable that the lump settlements could exceed the sum of interest and service cost for the year, the Company accounts for the settlements as they occur. Our pension benefit costs are calculated using various actuarial assumptions and methodologies. These assumptions include discount rates, inflation, expected returns on plan assets, mortality rates and other factors. The assumptions used in recording the obligations under our plans represent our best estimates, and we believe that they are reasonable, based on information as to historical experience and performance as well as other factors that might cause future expectations to differ from past trends. Differences in actual experience or changes in assumptions may affect our pension obligations and future expense. The principal factors contributing to actuarial gains and losses each year are (1) changes in the discount rate used to value pension benefit obligations as of the measurement date and (2) differences between the expected and the actual return on plan assets. Our valuation methodologies used for pension assets measured at fair value are as follows. There have been no changes in the methodologies used at December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The diversified fund is valued at fair value by using the net asset value (“NAV”) of shares held by the plan at the year end. The NAV of the diversified fund is not publicly quoted. The majority of the underlying securities have observable Level 1 or 2 pricing inputs, including quoted prices for similar assets in active or non-active markets. ASC 820 states that where NAV is allowed to be used as an estimate of fair value, if the reporting entity has the ability to redeem its investment at NAV as of the measurement date, that investment shall be categorized as a Level II fair value measurement. If the investment cannot be redeemed at the measurement date, but may be redeemable in the future, but at an uncertain date, the investment shall be categorized as a Level 3 fair value measurement. As of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the diversified fund was redeemable at NAV as of the measurement dates. With respect to the buy-in contract, it was agreed during the year ended September 27, 2014, that 281 pensioners of the plan would be insured by means of a pensioner buy-in. The pensioner buy-in contract is similar to an annuity contract, which matches cash flows with future benefit payments for a specific group of pensioners, with the obligation remaining with the plan. The liabilities and assets in respect of insured pensioners are assumed to match for the purposes of ASC 715, Pensions - Retirement Benefits, disclosures (i.e. the full benefits, excluding the cost of equalization for Guaranteed Minimum Pensions, have been insured). The approach adopted has therefore been to include within the total value of assets, an amount equal to the fair value of the buy-in assets and to set the buy-in portion of the total liability (pension benefit obligation) equal to the fair value of the buy-in based on the actuarial assumptions adopted for ASC 715 purposes at each measurement date. The buy-in contract is valued on an insurer pricing basis, reflecting assumptions on the purchase price adjusted for changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions, which approximates fair value and is, therefore, classified as Level 3.

Segment Reporting and Geographic Information Operating segments are identified as components of an enterprise for which separate and discrete financial information is available and is used by the chief operating decision maker, or decision-making group, in making decisions on how to allocate resources and assess performance. The Company’s chief decision-making group consists of the Executive Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer. The Company’s chief decision-making group uses measures of segment profit and loss to evaluate the performance areas of 1) Achievement of revenue and gross margin; 2) Level of staff and non-staff expenses against budget; 3) Investment in capitalized software development; and 4) Additional cash expenditures impacting working capital. The decision-making group uses the information to allocate financial resources and drive operation decisions such as investing in new customers, products, geographies and refocusing commercial teams to drive new sales, accelerating or delaying staffing or other selling, general and administrative expenditures and ensuring technology staff utilization on new product development. The Company operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are managed and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated. Other segment items consist of costs incurred in restructuring activities. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies.” F- 42 INSPIRED ENTERTAINMENT, INC.

Certain unallocated corporate function costs have not been allocated to the Company’s reportable operating segments because these costs are not allocable and to do so would not be practical. Corporate function costs consist primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, right of use assets, cash, prepaid expenses and property and equipment and software development costs relating to corporate/shared functions. All acquisition and integration related transaction expenses are allocated as corporate function costs.

Revision of Previously Reported Informatio n During the current year, the Company identified immaterial errors in its previously reported financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, and December 31, 2022 relating to the classification of leases between operating and sales type and immaterial errors relating to capitalization of software project content costs. In accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, Materiality, and SAB 108, Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements, the Company evaluated the materiality of the errors from qualitative and quantitative perspectives, and concluded that the errors were immaterial to any prior annual or interim financial statements. Notwithstanding this conclusion, management has revised the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2023 and 2022, and related notes included herein to correct the errors.
