Gaming Partners International Corporation Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2015

 

Las Vegas, NV (PR Newswire) (May 10, 2016) — Gaming Partners International Corporation (NASDAQ: GPIC), a leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment, announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2016.

 

For the quarter, the Company posted a net loss of $0.1 million, or $0.01 loss per basic and diluted shares, on revenues of $16.1 million, compared to net income of $2.0 million, or $0.25 per basic share and $0.24 per diluted share, on revenues of $18.7 million, for the comparable quarter of 2015. The decrease in our results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 is primarily due to a decline in orders for casino openings/expansions, the postponement of significant orders to future quarters, and manufacturing capacity constraints in our playing card operation related to significant revenue growth.

 

“We are disappointed with our overall net income for the first quarter. The shortfall can be partially attributed to the continuing decline of business in the Asian market,” commented Gregory Gronau, GPIC President and Chief Executive Officer. “During the quarter, revenues from consumables increased substantially driven largely by playing cards. Our Blue Springs facility, where all our playing cards are manufactured, experienced some growing pains, as production has had to ramp up beyond full capacity at times, resulting in higher scrap rates that reduced margins during the quarter. We also saw a rise in our sales numbers in Europe.”

 

Mr. Gronau added, “We are in a market driven industry so we continually look to the future. Our facility expansion in Blue Springs, Missouri will allow us to optimize our manufacturing lines to alleviate the difficulties experienced in the first quarter, providing us the ability to profitably meet growing customer demand. In addition, we have entered into a binding letter of intent to acquire the assets of Dolphin Products Ltd.  The acquisition should provide us additional market share in our largest currency market.”
