Exhibit 99.1

 

Gaming Partners International Corporation Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2012

 

Las Vegas, NV (PR Newswire) (May 10, 2012) —Gaming Partners International Corporation (NASDAQ: GPIC), a leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment, announced today financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2012.

 

For its first quarter of 2012, the Company posted revenues of $15.4 million and net income of $1.3 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share. These results compare to revenues of $17.8 million and net income of $1.7 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2011. Gross profit for the quarter was $5.2 million, or 34% of revenues, compared to $6.3 million, or 36% of revenues, in the prior year period.

 

The primary reason for the decrease in revenues in first quarter 2012 net income was comparably lower sales of chips to casinos in Macau.

 

The Company ended the quarter with $23.6 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no debt.

 

“We saw strong revenue growth in the United States in the first quarter, compared to last year’s first quarter, with an increase in openings and replacement orders,” commented Greg Gronau, GPIC President and Chief Executive Officer. “While sales in Asia were down in the first quarter, due to large orders in Macau with the Galaxy and Sociedade de Jogos de Macau S.A. casinos in the first quarter of 2011, we expect an increase in Asian orders for the remainder the year, as reflected in our recent announcement of three new orders for $4.7 million in chip sales to casinos in Macau.”
