Patrick Ramsey, President and Chief Executive Officer of Multimedia Games, commented, “Multimedia’s fourth quarter and full year 2012 results reflect continued success in developing high performing gaming products and further progress with expanding our total addressable market. Highlights from the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter include a 5% quarterly sequential and 14% year-over-year increase in our domestic installed base, strong quarterly unit sales in a record 16 states and a doubling of our installed base of premium participation High Rise Games® to 198 units. As a result, we generated another period of strong financial performance marked by year over year operating income, EBITDA and net income growth, each of which outpaced the 16% revenue growth achieved in the quarter.
“Our growing portfolio of attractive, differentiated games and themes that address customers’ needs across all gaming markets continue to drive solid demand for our products. We see strong customer demand for our unique TournEvent® slot tournament system, which represented 34% of total units sold during the quarter. TournEvent is revolutionizing slot tournaments and generating strong performance for our customers and is installed in 117 casinos nationwide as of September 30, 2012. Highlighting the power of TournEvent, we recently kicked off the National TournEvent of Champions™, a first-of-its-kind national promotion that will begin at participating casinos early next year and culminate in Las Vegas next September.
“Gaming operations remains a key driver of Multimedia Games’ growth as we continue to invest in our domestic installed base of participation games through expansion of our installed base in new and existing markets and by replacing lower performing units with new proprietary products. Our Oklahoma installed base increased by 159 units and the domestic installed base outside of Oklahoma rose 362 units during the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, for a total quarterly sequential increase in the domestic installed base of 521 units, which is more than double the unit growth achieved in each of the three previous quarters in fiscal 2012. Included in the quarterly domestic installed base increase are new deployments of 101 High Rise Games, which are now in 11 markets outside of Oklahoma. The performance of our High Rise Games remains strong and we are excited about the prospects for continued growth in the number of deployed units throughout fiscal 2013.”
Ramsey concluded, “The combination of our product development efforts and market expansion initiatives are clearly delivering the enhanced game performance and increased customer demand that is driving continued improvement in our financial results. Our growing product momentum leads us to believe that we are moving the right direction, particularly as Multimedia Games plans to enter larger U.S. gaming markets, including Nevada, later in fiscal 2013. As such, in fiscal 2013, we expect to achieve solid increases in the number of units we sell and continued growth in our domestic installed base, which is expected to drive year-over-year improvements in revenues, EBITDA and operating income.”
Summary of Fiscal 2012 Fourth Quarter and Full Year Operating Results
Multimedia Games’ fiscal 2012 fourth quarter revenue rose 15.8%, or $5.7 million, to $41.4 million, compared to revenue of $35.7 million in the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter. Fiscal 2012 fourth quarter revenue included approximately $29.6 million from gaming operations and approximately $11.4 million from gaming equipment and system sales, compared with $25.5 million in revenue from gaming operations and $9.9 million from gaming equipment and system sales in the year-ago period.
Gaming operations revenue in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter grew 16.3% to $29.6 million, reflecting continued strong growth in the Company’s installed base of participation units and in the revenue per day performance. During the quarter, the Company grew its base of participation units by 521 units or approximately 5.1% on a quarterly sequential basis, with growth coming from all domestic markets including Oklahoma, California, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Michigan. Multimedia Games’ domestic installed base grew by 1,291 units, or 13.8%, year over year to 10,670 units. Included in the year-end participation base were 198 High Rise premium participation games deployed outside of Oklahoma, an increase of 101 units from the fiscal third-quarter end installed base.
Revenues from the Company’s New York Lottery business totaled $4.2 million for the quarter, an increase of 51% over the prior-year period. For the full fiscal year, revenues for the New York Lottery totaled $15.6 million, an increase of 66% over the prior-year revenues of $9.4 million. The increase in revenues for the fiscal fourth quarter and for the fiscal year were primarily driven by the opening of Resorts World New York in October 2011. With the one-year anniversary of the opening of Resorts World New York having occurred in October 2012, the Company expects the New York Lottery business will grow at a more measured pace in fiscal 2013.

Gaming equipment and system sales in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter increased 15.7% to $11.4 million, from $9.9 million in the prior-year period. During the quarter, the Company recorded revenue of $9.9 million related to the sale of 538 new units and $0.8 million in revenue related to parts and equipment sales, compared to $8.5 million in revenue related to the sale of 458 new proprietary units and $0.6 million related to parts and equipment sales in the year-ago period. Washington State and California were Multimedia Games’ largest markets for product sales, representing approximately 58% of total unit sales. The Company sold units into a quarterly record 16 states in its fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, including first-time sales in Arizona and Michigan. There was $0.7 million and $0.8 million of deferred revenues for the sale of player stations and systems in a prior-year period recognized in the fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 fourth quarter periods, respectively.
Other revenue, primarily comprised of service revenue, was approximately $0.3 million in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter compared to $0.4 million in the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter.
Total operating expenses for the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter rose $3.1 million, or 9.6% year over year, to $35.5 million. Total cost of goods sold increased by $1.0 million, driven primarily by an increase in the number of units sold, higher shipping costs reflecting the Company’s expansion into more states, and costs related to expedited shipping fees in the supply chain to meet demand requirements for certain products. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses rose 20.0%, or $2.2 million, to $12.9 million, primarily reflecting higher stock compensation expense and an increase in variable compensation related to the growth in revenues as well as increased trade show expenses related to the 2012 Global Gaming Expo. SG&A expenses for the fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 fourth quarter periods include non-cash stock compensation costs of approximately $0.8 million and $0.2 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization declined to $9.6 million from $10.4 million in the prior-year period and research and development expense of $4.0 million compares to $3.2 million in the prior-year period. The increase in research and development expenses is attributable to Multimedia Games’ ongoing initiative to develop innovative and differentiated gaming content that delivers a high-value player entertainment experience.
Reflecting the strong year-over-year revenue growth in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, operating income rose by $2.6 million to $5.9 million and operating margin improved to 14.2% in the quarter compared to 9.3% in the year-ago period. For the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter, Multimedia Games reported net income of $8.3 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, inclusive of a $2.5 million, or $0.08 per diluted share net tax benefit, which was partially offset by a one-time charge of $1.2 million, or $0.04 per diluted share, for ongoing tax litigation related to the Company’s operations in Mexico, compared to net income of $3.1 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, in the fiscal 2011 fourth quarter.
Net capital expenditures in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter were $13.4 million compared to $11.6 million a year ago, primarily reflecting Multimedia Games’ ongoing investment in its installed base.
Total revenue in fiscal 2012 rose $28.3 million, or 22.2%, to $156.2 million and is comprised of $112.0 million in revenue from gaming operations, $42.8 million in revenue from gaming equipment and system sales and $1.4 million in other revenue. Gaming operations revenues increased by $16.5 million, or 17.3%, from the prior year driven by a 1,291 increase in the domestic installed base and an increase in daily win per unit. The Company generated $36.3 million in revenues related to the sale of 1,961 new units in fiscal 2012 compared to revenue of $20.4 million for the sale of 1,150 units in fiscal 2011. Deferred revenues recognized in fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 were $2.7 million and $7.4 million, respectively.
Total operating expenses in fiscal 2012 rose $10.4 million, or 8.5%, to $132.1 million. SG&A expenses grew $7.6 million to $49.6 million while total cost of goods sold increased by $3.8 million. Fiscal 2012 and 2011 SG&A expenses included non-cash stock compensation costs of $3.4 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Depreciation and amortization expense in fiscal 2012 declined by $2.7 million from the prior year while research and development expense rose by $2.5 million.
In fiscal 2012, Multimedia Games reported net income of $28.2 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, compared to net income of $5.7 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, in fiscal 2011.
For fiscal 2012, net capital expenditures were $45.2 million compared to $37.4 million a year ago, primarily reflecting the significant year-over-year increase in the Company’s installed base of participation units.

Balance Sheet
Multimedia Games’ cash position rose approximately $5.4 million on a quarterly sequential basis to $73.8 million as the Company generated $17.3 million in cash from operations in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter. As of September 30, 2012, Multimedia Games was in a net cash position (total cash in excess of total debt) of $40.5 million, or $1.44 per share, compared with net cash of $33.6 million as of June 30, 2012, and net cash of $9.7 million as of September 30, 2011. The fiscal 2012 fourth quarter represents the fifteenth consecutive quarter Multimedia Games has grown net cash or reduced net debt.
The Company generated free cash flow of $3.9 million in the fiscal 2012 fourth quarter compared to free cash flow of $3.1 million in the year-ago period. Total cash generation in the September 2012 quarter was $4.3 million compared to $3.7 million a year ago. For the full fiscal year, Multimedia Games generated $29.3 million in free cash flow and $23.5 million in total cash compared to $31.2 million and $38.4 million, respectively, in fiscal 2011. Fiscal 2011 free cash flow and cash generation included a one-time benefit of $18.1 million related to a federal tax refund.
New $40 Million Share Repurchase Authorization
The Company’s Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program for up to $40 million of the Company’s common stock over the next three years. The new share repurchase authorization replaces a December 2010, $15 million repurchase authorization that was due to expire in December 2013 and which had approximately $3.1 million remaining.
Pursuant to the authorization, Multimedia Games may purchase shares from time to time in the open market, through block purchases or in privately negotiated transactions in accordance with Company policies and applicable securities laws. The actual number of shares to be purchased, if any, will depend upon market conditions. Any shares purchased will be held in the Company’s treasury for possible future use. As of September 30, 2012, Multimedia Games had approximately 28.2 million shares issued and outstanding. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company did not repurchase any of its shares.
Adam Chibib, Chief Financial Officer, commented, “We exited fiscal 2012 with growing business momentum and a healthy balance sheet, including $40.5 million in net cash, which represents an impressive $30.7 million improvement over the past year and a $63.3 million improvement from the end of fiscal 2010. Going forward, we plan on leveraging our strong product portfolio, expanding addressable market position and fiscal discipline to generate strong profitability and free cash flow. Further, with expectations for continued free cash flow generation, the Board believes returning value to stockholders through share repurchases is an excellent complement to our ongoing growth momentum.”
Fiscal 2013 Guidance
The Company forecasts fiscal 2013 revenues of $165.5-$170.2 million, representing approximately
6%-9% year over year total revenue growth. The revenue growth reflects an expected 10%-15% year-over-year increase in unit sales as well as a modest increase in the domestic installed base, partially offset by continued declines in Mexico. The current unit sales and installed base growth forecast for fiscal 2013 includes an expectation for a measured level of initial unit deployments on a revenue share basis and unit sales into Nevada beginning in the second half of the fiscal year.
In addition, Multimedia Games expects that total operating expenses – including SG&A, research and development costs and depreciation and amortization – will increase modestly from fiscal 2012 levels as the Company continues to add additional headcount in research and development and sales and services. Operating margins are expected to improve from 15% in fiscal 2012 to 16%-17% in fiscal 2013 and operating income is expected to increase approximately 11%-21% year over year to $26.7-$29.2 million.
The Company expects to generate EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, of $76.6-$79.2 million in fiscal 2013, representing growth of 8%-11% over total fiscal 2012 EBITDA of $71.1 million.
Finally, the Company currently expects its fiscal 2013 tax rate will be in the range of 36%-40% compared to its fiscal 2012 full year effective tax rate benefit of 11.4%. As a result, Multimedia Games expects to report fiscal 2013 diluted EPS of $0.60-$0.65, representing a year-over-year increase of approximately 12%-21% over reported fiscal 2012 EPS when applying a 38% tax rate for fiscal 2012.

Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP measures:
This press release and accompanying schedules provide certain information regarding (i) EBITDA, (ii) cash generation, (iii) free cash flow, (iv) net cash position, (v) net capital expenditures and (vi) pro-forma diluted earnings per share, all of which may be considered non-GAAP financial measures under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release are reconciled to the corresponding GAAP financial measures below as required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures. We define (i) EBITDA as net income before net interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization and accretion of contract rights, (ii) cash generation as cash flow from operating activities plus cash flows from investing activities, (iii) free cash flow as cash flow from operating activities less net capital expenditures, (iv) net cash position as cash and cash equivalents less long-term debt, (v) net capital expenditures as acquisitions of property and equipment and leased gaming equipment less transfer of leased gaming equipment to inventory, and (vi) pro-forma diluted earnings per share as diluted earnings per share as if a 38% tax rate was applied to income before income taxes. EBITDA, cash generation, free cash flow, net cash position, net capital expenditures and pro-forma diluted earnings per share are not recognized financial measures under GAAP, but we believe that each is useful in measuring our operating performance. We believe that the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance, and provides useful information to the investor by comparing our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis and the use of EBITDA by other companies in the gaming equipment sector as a measure of performance. Cash generation helps assess the performance of operations and manufacturing investments and includes the amounts received and paid for our development agreements. We believe cash generation provides investors with useful information with respect to our ability to pay down debt. We believe that the non-GAAP measures of free cash flow, net cash position and net capital expenditures provide useful information to investors as each enhances the overall understanding of our operating performance. We present pro-forma diluted earnings per share in order to allow investors to evaluate how we would have performed had our effective tax rate for fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011 been 38%, which as discussed above, is the midpoint of the range of our expected tax rate for fiscal 2013.
Investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because these measures are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, they may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
