Patrick Ramsey, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “Our fiscal 2011 third quarter results reflect continued momentum in new unit sales and growth in our domestic installed base, both of which are driven by the Company’s focus on creating new, entertaining products.  Our expanding portfolio of exciting new products is being met with increased acceptance from current customers and new customers in a growing number of gaming markets.
 
“During the quarter we sold or deployed new games to customers in eight states (California, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Washington).  We recorded higher unit sales on both a year-over-year and quarterly sequential basis and our domestic installed base grew for the third consecutive quarter, including our first placements in Connecticut.  Of note, our award-winning TournEvent® slot tournament system continues to gain traction with five new system installations during the quarter, bringing the total number of deployed systems to 32.  We believe our transition to, and early success with, creating and selling and/or placing proprietary games is a key factor in the Company’s ability to generate consistent free cash flow and create new shareholder value going forward.”

Summary of Fiscal 2011 Third Quarter Operating Results
Multimedia Games reported fiscal 2011 third quarter revenue of $33.4 million compared with revenue of $29.1 million in the fiscal 2010 third quarter.  Fiscal 2011 third quarter revenue includes approximately $24.6 million from gaming operations and approximately $8.5 million in revenue from gaming equipment and system sales compared with $23.8 million in revenue from gaming operations and $4.9 million from gaming equipment and system sales in the year-ago period.

Gaming operations revenues grew 3.1%, or $0.7 million, year over year, despite an aggregate decline of $1.2 million from the Company’s Alabama charitable electronic bingo operations and its operations in Mexico.  Excluding these markets, gaming operations revenues grew 9.4% on a year-over-year basis with the majority of the growth derived from California, Washington, and the New York State Lottery operations.

Gaming equipment and system sales of $8.5 million in the fiscal 2011 third quarter includes $4.4 million in revenue from the sale of 251 new proprietary units and $3.4 million from the recognition of deferred revenues for the sale of player stations and systems licenses in a prior-year period.  The Company sold units in seven markets including Washington State, California and, for the first time, commercial casinos in Mississippi.  Gaming equipment and system sales in the fiscal 2010 third quarter includes $2.1 million of revenue from the sale of 128 new proprietary units and $1.2 million from the recognition of deferred revenues for the sale of player stations and systems licenses from prior periods.

Total operating expenses for the fiscal 2011 third quarter declined $0.3 million, or 1%, to $30.8 million.  The decline reflects a $2.6 million reduction in depreciation and amortization expense compared to the prior-year period, which more than offset an aggregate increase in selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and research and development expenses, and write-off, reserve, settlement and impairment charges of $1.3 million.  Net income in the fiscal 2011 third quarter was $2.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, compared to net income of $0.4 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in the prior-year period.

Share Repurchase Activity
Multimedia Games repurchased approximately 668,000 shares of its common stock during the fiscal 2011 third quarter at an average price of $5.59 per share, for total consideration of approximately $3.7 million.  Since the inception of its repurchase program on December 3, 2010, through June 30, 2011, the Company has purchased approximately 1,824,000 shares for total consideration of approximately $10.0 million.  As of June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $5.0 million remaining under its $15.0 million common stock repurchase plan.

Further Strengthening of Balance Sheet and Liquidity Position
The Company’s cash balance rose approximately 60% on a quarterly sequential and year-over-year basis to $49.2 million.  As a result, Multimedia Games total cash balances exceeded its total debt balances (net cash) by $5.2 million as of June 30, 2011, compared with net debt of approximately $29.0 million as of June 30, 2010.  The fiscal 2011 third quarter represents the tenth consecutive quarter Multimedia Games has reduced net debt and as of June 30, 2011, the Company has a net cash balance for the first time since the third quarter of fiscal 2004.

The Company generated free cash flow of $19.3 million in the fiscal 2011 third quarter compared to free cash flow of $6.6 million in the year ago period.  In addition, total cash generation in the fiscal 2011 third quarter was $21.5 million compared to $9.3 million a year ago.  In the first nine months of fiscal 2011 Multimedia Games has generated $28.1 million in free cash flow and $34.7 million in total cash.  Fiscal 2011 third quarter and year-to-date free cash flow and cash generation includes the benefit of $18.1 million related to a tax refund from the U.S. Treasury Department.  (Definitions of “free cash flow” and “cash generation” are provided on page 4 of this press release).

Subsequent to the end of the fiscal 2011 third quarter, Multimedia Games amended and extended its credit agreement to significantly reduce its effective interest rate, right size its borrowing capacity to $74 million and provide added financial flexibility to execute on strategic priorities.  The amended agreement includes a $37.0 million term loan priced at 300 basis points over LIBOR, an approximately $20.6 million revolving credit facility priced at 225 basis points over LIBOR and an approximately $16.4 million draw-to-term loan with a 30-month draw period priced at 300 basis points over LIBOR.  The new agreement is expected to reduce the Company’s annual interest expense by more than $1 million.

Adam Chibib, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “Our emphasis on fiscal discipline and cash returns is driving consistent free cash flow generation and ongoing improvements in our balance sheet which, for the first time in seven years, reflects a net cash position.  As a result, we have significantly increased our flexibility to deploy capital to pursue growth opportunities, including investments in proprietary products to improve our current installed base, and to fulfill customer demand for new recurring revenue placements, as well as for ongoing market expansion initiatives.”

Continuing Momentum for New Product and Market Expansion Initiatives
Approximately half of the 251 units sold in the fiscal 2011 third quarter were to customers in Washington, a market where the Company continues to achieve an attractive share of expansion and replacement unit shipments.  The Company also recorded its first unit sales to a large commercial casino in Mississippi following similar first sales to commercial operators in Louisiana in the prior quarter.

In addition, Multimedia Games recently renewed 593 unit placements that were due to expire next month across three smaller facilities operated by the Chickasaw Nation in Oklahoma.  Approximately half of these units were extended through March 2015 and represent approximately 25% of the total floor share at these properties, while the other half will be gradually removed over the next 2.5 years.

Ramsey added, “We believe our recent agreement with the Chickasaw Nation strengthens our strategic alignment with our largest customer.  The extended placements for units that represent a significant portion of the total gaming floors at these properties, coupled with the gradual reduction of other current placements, will allow Multimedia Games to maximize the operating performance of our products.

“With our growing library of exciting games, Multimedia Games expects to benefit from continued expansion and improvement in our installed base and new unit sales into an increasing number of markets.  We believe the Company has the financial foundation capable of supporting multiple growth initiatives and the successful execution of strategies that will deliver new value to shareholders.”

Additional Third Quarter Financial Review
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses for the fiscal 2011 third quarter increased approximately $0.8 million year over year to $10.5 million.  Fiscal 2011 and 2010 third quarter SG&A included non-cash stock compensation costs of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.  Research and development expense was $3.3 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with $3.0 million in the year-ago period.  Depreciation and amortization expense declined by approximately $2.6 million year over year to $10.2 million in the quarter ended June 30, 2011 compared with $12.8 million in the year-ago period.  Capital expenditures in the fiscal 2011 third quarter were approximately $10.0 million compared to approximately $9.7 million in the year-ago period, primarily reflecting the continued expansion of the Company’s North American footprint and the ongoing replacement of older units.

Updated Outlook for Key Financial Metrics
Multimedia Games today updated its operational and financial goals for fiscal 2011.  Total revenues in the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter are expected to decline on a quarterly sequential basis and be in-line with the prior-year period.  The Company anticipates continued diversification of its revenue mix as unit sales increase over time and the installed base outside of Oklahoma grows.  Unit sales are expected to exceed 1,000 units in fiscal 2011 reflecting the sales growth in the first nine months of fiscal 2011 and an expectation for higher unit sales for the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter as compared to the fiscal 2010 fourth quarter period.  Multimedia Games expects fiscal 2011 total operating expenses, which include SG&A, research and development and depreciation and amortization, to decline 5%-10% from fiscal 2010 levels.  Reflecting the Company’s expectation for further growth in its participation installed base during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, Multimedia Games expects fiscal 2011 capital expenditures to approximate $35 million.  The Company anticipates that it will generate positive operating income and net income for fiscal 2011.  Finally, based on fiscal 2011 year-to-date free cash flow generation and the outlook for fourth quarter capital expenditures, the Company now expects free cash flow to range from $25 - $30 million in fiscal 2011 compared with its prior expectation of a range of $20-$25 million.

Multimedia Games cautions that market dynamics are constantly changing and as such, actual results could vary materially from the expectations noted above based on changes in the Company’s markets, operations, regulatory requirements, estimates and assumptions and other factors as more fully described in the section below titled “Cautionary Language.” 

Definitions of “cash generation”, “free cash flow” and “net cash position”
Multimedia Games’ management tracks cash generation (which is cash flow from operating activities plus cash flows from investing activities) as well as free cash flow (cash flow from operating activities less net capital expenditures) as relevant measures of the Company’s performance.  Cash generation helps assess the performance of operations, manufacturing investments and includes the amounts received and paid for the Company’s development agreements.  Cash generation is a more comprehensive internal metric and more representative of the Company’s ability to pay down debt.  Free cash flow helps measure the efficiency of the Company’s capital expenditures.  Net cash position is defined as cash and cash equivalents less long-term debt.

Reconciliation of U.S. GAAP Net income to EBITDA:
EBITDA is defined as earnings before net interest expense, taxes, amortization, depreciation, and accretion of contract rights.  Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), Multimedia Games believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of Multimedia Games’ past financial performance, and provides useful information to the investor because of its historical use by Multimedia Games as a performance measure, and the use of EBITDA by other companies in the gaming equipment sector as a measure of performance.  However, investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining Multimedia Games’ operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP.  In addition, because EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.  A reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, follows:
