Forward-Looking Statements
 
Throughout this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we make "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements describe future expectations, plans, results or strategies and can often be identified by the use of terminology such as "may," "will," "estimate," "intend," "plan," "continue," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "target," "should," "could," "potential," "opportunity," "goal" or similar terminology. The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are generally located in the material set forth under the heading "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" but may be found in other locations as well. These statements are based upon management's current expectations, assumptions and estimates and are not guarantees of timing, future results or performance. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated in these statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties and other factors, including, among other things:

competition;
U.S. and international economic and industry conditions;
slow growth of new gaming jurisdictions, slow addition of casinos in existing jurisdictions and declines in the replacement cycle of gaming machines;
ownership changes and consolidation in the gaming industry;
opposition to legalized gaming or the expansion thereof;
inability to adapt to, and offer products that keep pace with, evolving technology, including any failure of our investment of significant resources in our R&D efforts;

inability to develop successful products and services and capitalize on trends and changes in our industries, including the expansion of internet and other forms of interactive gaming;
laws and government regulations, including those relating to gaming licenses and environmental laws;
dependence upon key providers in our social gaming business;
inability to retain or renew, or unfavorable revisions of, existing contracts, and the inability to enter into new contracts;
protection of our intellectual property, inability to license third party intellectual property and the intellectual property rights of others;
security and integrity of our products and systems and reliance on or failures in information technology and other systems;
challenges or disruptions relating to the implementation of a new global enterprise resource planning system;
failure to maintain adequate internal control over financial reporting;
natural events that disrupt our operations or those of our customers, suppliers or regulators;
inability to benefit from, and risks associated with, strategic equity investments and relationships;
failure to achieve the intended benefits of our acquisitions;
incurrence of restructuring costs;
implementation of complex revenue recognition standards or other new accounting standards;
changes in estimates or judgments related to our impairment analysis of goodwill or other long-lived assets;
fluctuations in our results due to seasonality and other factors;
dependence on suppliers and manufacturers;


4




risks relating to foreign operations, including fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, restrictions on the payment of dividends from earnings, restrictions on the import of products and financial instability, including the potential impact to our business resulting from the affirmative vote in the U.K. to withdraw from the EU, and the potential impact to our instant lottery game concession or VLT lease arrangements resulting from the recent economic and political conditions in Greece;
changes in tax laws or tax rulings, or the examination of our tax positions;
dependence on key employees;
litigation and other liabilities relating to our business, including litigation and liabilities relating to our contracts and licenses, our products and systems, our employees (including labor disputes), intellectual property, environmental laws and our strategic relationships;
level of our indebtedness, higher interest rates, availability or adequacy of cash flows and liquidity to satisfy indebtedness, other obligations or future cash needs;
inability to reduce or refinance our indebtedness;
restrictions and covenants in debt agreements, including those that could result in acceleration of the maturity of our indebtedness;
influence of certain stockholders, including decisions that may conflict with the interests of other stockholders; and
stock price volatility.
Additional information regarding risks and uncertainties and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in forward-looking statements is included from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including under Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 2016 10-K. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and, except for our ongoing obligations under the U.S. federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
You should also note that this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q may contain references to industry market data and certain industry forecasts. Industry market data and industry forecasts are obtained from publicly available information and industry publications. Industry publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of that information is not guaranteed. Although we believe industry information to be accurate, it is not independently verified by us and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of that information. In general, we believe there is less publicly available information concerning the international gaming, lottery and interactive gaming industries than the same industries in the U.S.

SCIENTIFIC GAMES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, amounts in USD, table amounts in millions, except per share amounts)

(1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of the Business
We are a leading developer of technology‑based products and services and associated content for the worldwide gaming, lottery and interactive gaming industries. Our portfolio includes gaming machines and game content, casino management systems, table game products and services, instant and draw‑based lottery games, lottery systems, lottery content and services, interactive gaming and social casino solutions, as well as other products and services. We report our operations in three business segments—Gaming, Lottery and Interactive.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SGC and its wholly owned subsidiaries. Investments in other entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest but we exert significant influence are accounted for in our condensed consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations and comprehensive loss and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2016 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2016 10-K.
Acquisitions
On January 18, 2017, we closed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of DEQ Systems Corp. ("DEQ"), which was announced in the third quarter of 2016. DEQ was integrated into our gaming business segment and expands the depth and breadth of our table product portfolio.

On April 7, 2017, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of privately held mobile and social game company Spicerack Media, Inc. ("Spicerack"), which expands our existing portfolio of social casino games and our customer base. Spicerack was integrated into our interactive business segment.

On April 25, 2017, we completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding membership interest of privately held lottery sales force and retail performance technology and consulting services company Lapis Software Associates, LLC (“Lapis”), which expands our suite of value-added retail lottery products. Lapis was integrated into our lottery business segment.
We accounted for these acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the total purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective estimated fair values. The following table summarizes an aggregate disclosure related to business acquisitions completed during the first half of 2017 and is based on the preliminary allocations of the purchase price expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2017, pending completion of the valuation analyses for acquired intangible assets:

1 Contingent consideration as determined by fair value and included in the consideration transferred.
2 Intangible assets primarily consist of technology-based and customer relationship intangible assets. The fair value of these intangible assets was determined using a combination of a royalty savings method and the excess earnings method using Level 3 in the hierarchy as established by ASC 820. The discount rates and royalty rates used in the valuation analysis ranged between 9% and 20% and 1% and 16%, respectively.


9





The contingent consideration value is primarily based on reaching certain earnings-based metrics, with a maximum payout of up to $35.3 million. The goodwill recognized relates to Spicerack acquisition and the factors contributing to the recognition of goodwill are based on expected synergies resulting from the acquisition, including the expansion of the customer base. None of the resultant goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The amount of revenue and earnings associated with the above acquisitions and since the acquisition date included in the consolidated financial statements were less than 1.0% for all of the periods presented, thus not significant to our consolidated financial statements.

Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share were the same for all periods presented as all common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. We excluded 2.8 million and 3.0 million of stock options from the diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We excluded 4.4 million and 5.3 million of RSUs from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

New Accounting Guidance - Recently Adopted

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The amended guidance is intended to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions, including income tax consequences, accounting for forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities and classification in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 has separate transition guidance for each element of the new standard. We adopted the guidance at the beginning of first quarter 2017. The adoption of this guidance did not result in a net cumulative-effect adjustment to accumulated loss, as the previously unrecognized excess tax benefit of $10.1 million was fully offset by an increase in the valuation allowance as of December 31, 2016. The excess tax benefit recognized in our provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was immaterial. In addition, we elected to continue to account for forfeitures by estimating the expected forfeitures over the course of a vesting period.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash. ASU 2016-18 requires that a statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. As a result, amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents should be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. We adopted the guidance retrospectively at the beginning of first quarter 2017. The adoption of this guidance resulted in increases to the cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash beginning-of-period and end-of period line item totaling $38.1 million and $41.9 million, respectively, which now includes restricted cash, and a $3.8 million decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 simplifies the subsequent measurement of goodwill by eliminating Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test. Under the new amendments, an entity should perform its annual or interim goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. We adopted this guidance prospectively at the beginning of first quarter 2017, which will simplify our future goodwill impairment testing.

New Accounting Guidance - Not Yet Adopted

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 combined with all subsequent amendments (collectively ASC 606) provides guidance outlining a single comprehensive revenue model in accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. ASC 606 supersedes existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance, and replaces it with a five-step revenue model with a core principle that "an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services." This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We will adopt this guidance at the beginning of the first quarter of 2018, using a modified retrospective application approach.

We continue to assess the anticipated impact of adopting this guidance in revenue recognition for our business segments. The following table summarizes the anticipated impact to the financial statements based on our assessment completed to date:

Ÿ We anticipate the following impact on the net amount of revenue for WAP jackpot payments, which will no longer be treated as an expense but rather as a reduction to revenue: WAP jackpot expense of $5.3 million and $12.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, and $8.1 million and $16.7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, recognized as cost of services.

Ÿ We do not anticipate a material impact on timing or amount of revenue.

Additionally, as disclosed in our 2016 10-K, ASC 606 will significantly increase revenue disclosure requirements; however many of these newly required disclosures, including disaggregation of revenue and discussion of deferred revenue are included in revenue presented in this Note 1. We currently do not anticipate significant changes to our business processes and systems to support the adoption of the new guidance and are currently assessing an impact on our internal controls. We will continue to monitor and assess the impact of any changes to the standard and interpretations as they become available.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The amended guidance is intended to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The adoption of this guidance is expected to result in a significant portion of our operating leases, where we are the lessee, to be recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheet. The guidance requires lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those fiscal years, with earlier adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact and timing of adopting this guidance.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326). The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, we will be required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses which reflects losses that are probable. The new guidance will be effective for us beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted beginning January 1, 2018. Application of the amendments is through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date. We are currently evaluating the impact and timing of adopting this guidance.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The new guidance clarifies the definition of a business in order to allow for the evaluation of whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions or disposals of assets or businesses. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance.

We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our financial statements.

Credit Quality of Notes Receivable
The interest rates on our outstanding notes receivable ranged from 3.0% to 10.4% at June 30, 2017 and 3.3% to 10.4% at December 31, 2016.
We have certain concentrations of outstanding notes receivable in international locations that impact our assessment of the credit quality of our notes receivable. We monitor the macroeconomic and political environment in each of these locations in our assessment of the credit quality of our notes receivable. We have not identified changes in the aforementioned factors during the six months ended June 30, 2017 that require a reassessment of our receivable balances. The international locations with significant concentrations (generally deemed to be exceeding 10%) of our notes receivable are as follows:
Mexico - Our notes receivable, net, from certain customers in Mexico at June 30, 2017 was $29.6 million. We collected $17.3 million of outstanding receivables from these customers during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Peru - Our notes receivable, net, from certain customers in Peru at June 30, 2017 was $22.9 million. We collected $8.9 million of outstanding receivables from these customers during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
Argentina - Our notes receivable, net, from customers in Argentina at June 30, 2017 was $15.8 million denominated in USD. Our customers are required to, and have continued to, pay us in pesos at the spot exchange rate on the date of payment. We collected $11.8 million of outstanding receivables from customers in Argentina during the six months ended June 30, 2017.
In addition to the macroeconomic and political factors noted above, we also evaluated recent payments, receivables aging, any additional security or collateral we had (bills of exchange, pledge agreements, etc.) and other facts and circumstances relevant to our customers' ability to pay.

We evaluate our exposure to credit loss on notes receivable on both a collective and individual basis. In addition, we evaluate such notes receivable on a geographic basis and take into account any other factors (such as general economic conditions, other macroeconomic considerations, etc.) that could impact our collectability of notes receivable individually or in the aggregate. Accordingly, notes receivable may be evaluated under multiple methodologies, and the resulting allowance is not determined based on one specific methodology taking all factors into consideration. The activity in our allowance for notes receivable for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows:

The fair value of notes receivable is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the fair value of notes receivable, net, approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms of notes receivable generally being under 24 months.

February 2017 Refinancing Transactions

On February 14, 2017, we entered into an amendment to our credit agreement which provided for a $3,291.0 million senior secured term B-3 loan facility which matures in 2021 and reduced the commitments on the revolving credit facility to $556.2 million through October 2018, with a step-down in availability at that time to $381.7 million until the extended maturity in October 2020. We also successfully completed an additional offering of our Secured Notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1.15 billion (the "additional Secured Notes"). The net proceeds of the term B-3 loan facility and


18


the additional Secured Notes were used to (a) prepay the balances on the term B-1 and term B-2 loans and the existing revolving credit facility, (b) redeem all $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of our outstanding 2018 Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2018 Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to but not including the redemption date (which redemption was completed on March 17, 2017) and (c) pay related fees and expenses (the "February 2017 Refinancing").

In connection with the February 2017 Refinancing, we recorded $27.9 million in financing costs presented primarily as a reduction to long-term debt.

Term Loan B-3

The new term B-3 loans that were entered into as part of the February 2017 Refinancing mature in October 2021 and amortize in equal quarterly installments in an amount equal to 1.00% per annum of the stated principal amount thereof, with the remaining balance due at final maturity. The applicable margin for the new term B-3 loans is 4.00% per annum for euro dollars (LIBOR) loans and 3.00% per annum for base rate loans.   

7.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2022

In connection with the February 2017 Refinancing, SGI issued $1.15 billion in aggregate principal amount of additional Secured Notes under the existing indenture governing the Secured Notes. Therefore the additional Secured Notes have the same terms as the previously issued $950.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Secured Notes initially issued in November 2014 except for the issue date and offering price. The additional Secured Notes and the initial Secured Notes are treated as a single series of debt securities for all other purposes under the indenture governing the Secured Notes.

For additional information regarding terms of our credit agreement and Secured Notes, see Note 16 (Long-Term and Other Debt) in our 2016 10-K.

(11) Fair Value Measurements
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, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are described below.
Interest rate swap contracts
We record derivative financial instruments on the balance sheet at their respective fair values. We currently use swap contracts as described below to mitigate gains or losses associated with the change in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt.


19


We hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rates that we pay. We have interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. Under these hedges, we pay interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.151% and receive interest at the greater of 1% or the prevailing three-month LIBOR rate. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps outstanding was $700.0 million as of both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.
These hedges are highly effective in offsetting changes in our future expected cash flows due to the fluctuation in the three-month LIBOR rate associated with our variable rate debt. The effectiveness of these hedges is measured quarterly on a retrospective basis. As a result of the effective matching of the critical terms on our variable rate interest expense being hedged to the hedging instruments being used, we have not measured any hedge ineffectiveness through the date of our debt refinancing transactions as described in Note 10. Subsequent to the debt refinancing, we have measured ineffectiveness totaling $0.7 million as a result of the terms of our swaps no longer matching critical terms with the hedged forecasted interest payments; however, those hedges remain highly effective as measured by our regression analysis. We expect our interest rate swaps to continue to remain highly effective. All gains and losses from these hedges are recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the future underlying payment transactions occur. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the hedges will be recognized (together with the hedged transaction) as interest expense. We estimate the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts by discounting the future cash flows of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest payments based on market yield curves. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
The following table shows the (gains) losses on our interest rate swap contracts:

We recognized no material costs in 2017 and 2016 under these plans.

Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock and Rights Agreement
On June 19, 2017, the Board of Directors of SGC approved, and SGC entered into, a Rights Agreement between SGC and American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC. Concurrently, the Board of Directors of SGC adopted a resolution reserving for issuance a series of 20,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share, designated as Series C Junior Participating Preferred Stock ("Junior Preferred Stock") upon the exercise of rights under the Rights Agreement. The Rights Agreement provides for a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (“Right”) for each share of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of SGC outstanding as of June 29, 2017. Each Right entitles the holder to purchase from SGC one ten-thousandth of a share of Junior Preferred Stock for a purchase price of $109.00 , subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Agreement. As of June 30, 2017, none of these shares were outstanding and no Rights were exercised.
    
(13) Income Taxes
As of each reporting date, management considers new evidence, both positive and negative, that could affect its view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. Upon evaluation of all available evidence, and considering the projected U.S. pre-tax losses for 2017, a valuation allowance has been contemplated as a component of the estimated annual effective tax rate for 2017. The valuation allowance to be recorded during 2017 related to the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction is incremental to the valuation allowance recorded as of December 31, 2016. We maintained other valuation allowances for certain non-U.S. jurisdictions with cumulative losses.
The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were (19.5)% and (19.8)%, respectively, and 27.5% and 21.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate after considering any discrete items for such periods. The change in the effective tax rates relates primarily to an increase in the valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets in the U.S. federal tax jurisdiction for the six months ended June 30, 2017. The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 reflects an overall tax expense due to the application of a full valuation allowance against the U.S. pre-tax losses coupled with a tax expense on foreign pre-tax earnings. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an overall tax benefit as the valuation allowance recorded during the period was only applicable to a portion of the U.S. pre-tax losses.
(14) Litigation
We are involved in various routine and other specific legal proceedings, including the following which are described in Note 22 within our 2016 10-K: Colombia litigation, SNAI litigation, Oregon State Lottery matter and Shuffle Tech matter. There have been no material changes to these matters since the 2016 10-K was filed with the SEC, except as described below.
We record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated (although, as discussed below, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the accrued liability). We evaluate our accruals for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect (1) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments, (2) the advice and analyses of counsel and (3) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with our legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. We had accrued liabilities of $4.9 million and $7.7 million for all of our legal matters that were contingencies as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.
Substantially all of our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Consequently, the ultimate outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued. We may be unable to estimate a range of possible losses for some matters pending against us or our subsidiaries, even when the amount of damages claimed against us or our subsidiaries is stated because, among other things: (1) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (2) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (3) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (4) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (5) the matter may not have progressed sufficiently through discovery or there may be significant factual or legal issues to be resolved or developed; and/or (6) there may be uncertainty as to the enforceability of legal judgments and outcomes in certain jurisdictions. Other matters have progressed sufficiently that we are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For those legal contingencies disclosed below and in Note 22 in our 2016 10-K, as well as those related to the previously disclosed settlement agreement entered into in February 2015 with SNAI S.p.a., as to which a loss is reasonably possible, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, and for which we are able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is up to approximately $13.6 million in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) related to those legal contingencies. This aggregate range represents management’s


21


estimate of additional possible loss in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) with respect to these matters based on currently available information, including any damages claimed by the plaintiffs, and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and inherent uncertainties. For example, at the time of making an estimate, management may have only preliminary, incomplete, or inaccurate information about the facts underlying a claim; its assumptions about the future rulings of the court or other tribunal on significant issues, or the behavior and incentives of adverse parties, regulators, indemnitors or co‑defendants, may prove to be wrong; and the outcomes it is attempting to predict are often not amenable to the use of statistical or other quantitative analytical tools. In addition, from time to time an outcome may occur that management had not accounted for in its estimate because it had considered that outcome to be remote. Furthermore, as noted above, the aggregate range does not include any matters for which we are not able to estimate a range of possible loss. Accordingly, the estimated aggregate range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Any such losses could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The legal proceedings underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
Oregon State Lottery update

On June 14, 2017, the Oregon Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s dismissal of the plaintiff's claims with prejudice. As noted in the 2016 10-K, the trial court indicated that all claims against WMS Gaming Inc. were moot as a result of its dismissal. The plaintiff has until August 16, 2017 to petition the Oregon Supreme Court to review the decision of the Oregon Court of Appeals.

Shuffle Tech update
On March 24, 2017, SGC, Bally Technologies, Inc. and Bally Gaming, Inc. filed a motion for summary judgment in their favor on all claims asserted by the plaintiffs in the lawsuit. Trial is currently scheduled for May 2018. We intend to continue to vigorously defend against the claims asserted in the lawsuit.
For additional information regarding our pending litigation matters, see Note 22 in our 2016 10-K.
(15) Financial Information for Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries
We conduct substantially all of our business through our U.S. and foreign subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2017, SGI's obligations under the 2020 Notes, the 2021 Notes, the Secured Notes and the Unsecured Notes were fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by SGC and the Guarantor Subsidiaries other than SGI. We redeemed all of the outstanding 2018 Notes on March 17, 2017, which were previously issued by SGC and fully and unconditionally and jointly and severally guaranteed by the Guarantor Subsidiaries. The guarantees of our 2020 Notes, 2021 Notes, Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes will terminate under the following customary circumstances: (1) the sale or disposition of the capital stock of the guarantor (including by consolidation or merger of the guarantor into another person); (2) the liquidation or dissolution of the guarantor; (3) the defeasance or satisfaction and discharge of the notes; (4) the release of the guarantor from any guarantees of indebtedness of SGC and SGI; and (5) the proper designation of the guarantor as an unrestricted subsidiary pursuant to the indenture governing the respective Notes. The guarantees of our 2018 Notes were released in connection with the redemption of the 2018 Notes.
During the third quarter of 2016, we designated certain of our wholly owned direct and indirect subsidiaries that hold substantially all of the assets of, and operate, our social gaming business, as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries” under our credit agreement and each of the indentures governing the 2018 Notes, 2020 Notes, 2021 Notes, Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes. As a result of these designations, our 100%-owned social gaming subsidiaries are no longer guarantors under our credit agreement and indentures. Therefore, the historical condensed consolidating financial information presented has been reclassified to show the nature of assets held, results of operations and cash flows assuming the "Unrestricted Subsidiary" designations were in effect at the beginning of all periods presented, consistent with their status as non-guarantors as of June 30, 2017. The affected subsidiaries are no longer allocated interest in this condensed consolidating financial information due to their present status as non-guarantors. Accordingly, for all periods presented, we no longer present an allocation of interest to any entities, including the Unrestricted Subsidiaries, other than the legal entity issuer of the associated debt.

Presented below is condensed consolidating financial information for (1) SGC, (2) SGI, (3) the Guarantor Subsidiaries and (4) the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016. The condensed consolidating financial information has been presented to show the nature of assets held, results of operations and cash flows of SGC, SGI, the Guarantor Subsidiaries and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries assuming the current guarantee structures of the 2018 Notes, the 2020 Notes, the 2021 Notes, the Secured Notes and the Unsecured Notes were in effect at the beginning of the periods presented. 


22


     The condensed consolidating financial information reflects the investments of SGC in SGI and in the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries using the equity method of accounting. They also reflect the investments of the Guarantor Subsidiaries in the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries. Net changes in intercompany due from/due to accounts are reported in the accompanying Supplemental Condensed Consolidating Statements of Cash Flows as investing activities if the applicable entities have a net investment (asset) in intercompany accounts and as a financing activity if the applicable entities have a net intercompany borrowing (liability) balance.

Item 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion is intended to enhance the reader's understanding of our operations and current business environment and should be read in conjunction with the description of our business included under Item 1 "Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Item 1 "Business," Item 1A "Risk Factors" and Item 7 "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" included in our 2016 10-K.
This "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" ("MD&A") contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and should be read in conjunction with the disclosures and information contained and referenced under "Forward-Looking Statements" in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and "Risk Factors" included in our 2016 10-K. As used in this MD&A, the terms "we," "us," and "our" mean SGC together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

BUSINESS OVERVIEW
We are a leading developer of technology‑based products and services and associated content for the worldwide gaming, lottery and interactive gaming industries. Our portfolio includes gaming machines and game content, casino management systems, table game products and services, instant and draw‑based lottery games, lottery systems, lottery content and services, interactive gaming and social casino solutions as well as other products and services. We also gain access to technologies and pursue global expansion through strategic acquisitions and equity investments.
Current Events
In April 2017, we completed the acquisition of Spicerack Media, Inc.

In May 2017, we unveiled a new, advanced software security system and robotic technologies for lottery instant games security, which extends the protection of an instant game from initial game data generation though the final delivery of the game to the lottery or its retailers.

In June 2017, we announced the launch of one of our first games in which skill of the player is a dominant factor in affecting the outcome of the bonus game, SPACE INVADERSTM, based on the popular classic arcade video game, which was originally released in 1978. SPACE INVADERS is currently available in New Jersey and will soon be available in various jurisdictions throughout North America.

In June 2017, we were awarded a new, four-year contract to provide instant games and additional services to the New Hampshire Lottery.

In June 2017, we were awarded a new, eight-year systems technology and services contract from the Maryland Lottery and Gaming Control Agency.

We completed the business improvement initiative announced in November 2016, which has streamlined our organization, increased our efficiencies and significantly reduced our operating costs.

Segments
We report our operations in three business segments Gaming, Lottery and Interactive representing our different products and services. See "Business Segments Results" below and Note 2 for additional business segment information.
Foreign Exchange
Our results are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates used in the translation of foreign functional currencies into USD and the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions or balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. Our exposure to foreign currency volatility on revenue is as follows:

Gaming revenue increased compared to both prior-year periods primarily due to higher unit sales of gaming machines and table products, which was partially offset by a decrease in WAP and premium game service revenue. The Gaming revenue increase included the unfavorable foreign currency impact of $4.9 million and $10.0 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Lottery revenue remained relatively flat for both comparable periods but included the unfavorable foreign currency impact of $2.2 million and $4.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.
Interactive revenue increased for both comparable periods primarily due to growth in our social gaming business, reflecting the ongoing popularity of Jackpot Party® Social Casino and the success of more recent apps, such as the introduction of the 88 Fortunes® app in the first quarter of 2017, as well as the impact of the acquisition of Spicerack and its Bingo Showdown social gaming app, which closed in April 2017.

Cost of revenue
Total cost of revenue for the three-month period slightly increased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to: (1) a $7.3 million increase in Gaming cost of product sales driven by increased game shipments; (2) a $10.1 million increase in cost of Interactive services primarily related to platform fees associated with the $22.0 million increase in Interactive social gaming revenue, which was partially offset by (3) a $10.7 million lower cost of services in Gaming driven by decreases in WAP activity and timing of WAP jackpots; and (4) a $4.0 million decrease in Lottery driven by business mix coupled with benefits realized in the current year related to business improvement initiative announced in November 2016.
Total cost of revenue for the six-month period increased compared to the prior-year period primarily due to: (1) a $22.1 million higher cost of Interactive services primarily related to platform fees associated with the $42.1 million increase in Interactive social revenue; and (2) a $19.1 million increase in the cost of Gaming machine unit sales primarily related to the increase in units sold, which was partially offset by (3) a $12.7 million decrease in the cost of Gaming services driven by reductions in WAP and premium game unit placements; and (4) a $2.1 million decrease in Lottery driven primarily by benefits realized in the current year related to the business improvement initiative.
SG&A
SG&A remained relatively flat for the three-month and six-month comparable periods. Benefits realized in the current year from the business improvement initiative were offset by the absence of $7.5 million of insurance proceeds in connection with a settlement of a legal matter recorded in 2016 and increases in Interactive SG&A of $6.0 million and $14.7 million for the three and six-month comparable periods, respectively, primarily driven by additional marketing spend and user acquisition costs related to our growing portfolio of social and mobile gaming apps.
R&D
The decrease in research and development for both comparable periods was primarily driven by reduced spending on outside resources for certain projects which were nearing completion during the period and headcount reduction initiatives completed subsequent to the second quarter of 2016.
D&A    
The decrease in D&A for both comparable periods was primarily due to certain acquired intangible assets becoming fully depreciated in the third quarter of 2016, as well as acquired Gaming assets for which accelerated depreciation was recorded in the prior comparable period.





35


Other Factors Affecting Net Loss
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased for both comparable periods due to lower cash interest cost primarily resulting from the February 2017 Refinancing.
Gain (loss) on extinguishment and modification of debt
During the first quarter of 2017, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, including the redemption of $250.0 million of outstanding 2018 Notes, which resulted in $29.7 million in loss on extinguishment and modification of debt.

During the second quarter of 2016, we repurchased and cancelled an aggregate principal amount of $65.9 million of our 2020 Notes and 2021 Notes for $39.9 million in cash, which resulted in a $25.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt inclusive of a $0.8 million charge related to the write-off of unamortized debt discount and deferred financing costs associated with the extinguished debt.

Income tax (expense) benefit

               We recorded an income tax expense of $6.4 million and $23.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, compared to an income tax benefit of $19.6 million and $38.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were (19.5)% and (19.8)%, respectively, and 27.5% and 21.2% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively, and were determined using an estimated annual effective tax rate after considering any discrete items for such periods. For additional information regarding the changes in our effective tax rates and the variance in our income tax (expense) benefit, see Note 13.

See "Business Segments Results" below for a more detailed explanation of the significant changes in our components of revenue within the individual segment results of operations.

BUSINESS SEGMENTS RESULTS

GAMING
Our Gaming business segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of gaming products and services. We provide our Gaming portfolio of products and services to commercial casinos, Native American casinos, wide-area gaming operators such as LBOs, arcade and bingo operators in the U.K. and continental Europe, and government agencies and their affiliated operators. Our equity investments in Roberts Communications Network, LLC and International Terminal Leasing are part of our Gaming business segment.
We generate Gaming revenue from both services and product sales. Our services revenue includes revenue earned from WAP, premium and daily-fee Participation gaming machines, other leased gaming machines (including VLTs and electronic table games), leased table products and services (including Shufflers), casino management technology solutions and systems, PTG licensing and other services revenues. Our product sales revenue includes the sale of new and used gaming machines, electronic table games, VLTs and VGTs, casino-management technology solutions and systems, table products, conversion kits (including game, hardware or operating system conversions) and spare parts. For additional information, refer to the Gaming primary business activities summary included within Item 7 of our 2016 10-K.

Current Year Update
    
We expect to continue to face pricing pressure in our Gaming segment for the remainder of 2017. We anticipate that replacement demand for gaming machines and constraints on capital spending by gaming operators will continue at current levels and that demand for gaming machines will continue to be negatively impacted by the continued consolidation of casino and other gaming operators. We anticipate that demand for our gaming systems products and services will continue at current levels due to fewer large, multi-site installation opportunities, system replacements and new casino anticipated openings throughout 2017. We believe that our installed base of WAP, premium and daily-fee Participation gaming machines has stabilized, benefiting from the release of a number of new games, including the launch of our new GameScape™ cabinet in the third quarter of 2016. The GameScape cabinet, a dedicated Participation platform, features a player-favorite branded WILLY WONKA WORLD OF WONKA™ game.

Gaming Operations
Gaming operations revenue decreased as compared to both prior-year periods primarily due to: (1) a 953-unit decrease in the installed base of WAP, premium and daily-fee Participation gaming machines; and (2) a decrease in the average daily revenue per WAP, premium and daily-fee Participation units.    
These decreases were partially offset by higher other participation and leased units revenue for both comparable periods, primarily resulting from a 788-unit increase in the ending other installed base for Other Participation and leased units.

Gaming Machine Sales

Gaming machine unit sales increased compared to both the three- and six-month prior-year periods due to higher new unit shipments primarily resulting from sales of the Pro Series WAVE and TwinStar® cabinets.
U.S. and Canadian shipments for the three months ended June 30, 2017 decreased 311 units to 4,367 units, including 3,773 replacement units and 594 units for new casino openings and expansions, comprised fully of Illinois VGT units. In the prior-year period, U.S. and Canadian shipments totaled 4,678 units that comprised 3,468 replacement units, including 431 VLTs to Oregon, and 740 VGTs for the Illinois market. International shipments increased 421 units to 3,411 units and encompassed 3,357 replacement units and 54 units for new casino openings and expansions from 2,990 units in the prior-year period. The average sales price increased to $17,550 per unit reflecting a greater mix of higher performing premium gaming machines sold during the period.    
U.S. and Canadian shipments for the six months ended June 30, 2017 increased 1,186 units to 10,229 units, including 6,912 replacement units, including 250 VLTs to Oregon, and 3,317 units for new casino openings and expansions, including 1,455 Illinois VGT units. In the prior-year period, U.S. and Canadian shipments totaled 9,043 units that comprised 7,332 replacement units, 1,271 VLTs to Oregon, and 1,173 VGTs for the Illinois market. International shipments increased 535 units to 5,908 units and encompassed 5,430 replacement units and 478 units for new casino openings and expansions from 5,373 units in the prior-year period. The average sales price increased to $17,278 per unit reflecting a greater mix of higher performing premium gaming machines sold during the period.    
Gaming Systems

Gaming systems revenue increased compared to both prior-year periods primarily due to increased hardware sales related to new casino openings.
Table Products

Table products revenue increased compared to both prior-year periods primarily due to increased Shuffler sales and the impact of the acquisition of DEQ Systems Corp., which closed in January 2017.

Operating income
The increase in operating income from the comparable prior-year periods was primarily attributable to the following: (1) higher overall gaming revenues as described above; (2) a decrease in overall operating expenses primarily due to the business improvement initiative announced in November 2016; (3) lower D&A of $18.3 million and $36.6 million for the three- and six-month, respectively, due to certain acquired intangible assets becoming fully depreciated in the third quarter of 2016, and acquired Gaming assets for which accelerated depreciation was recorded in the prior comparable period; and (4) a more profitable revenue mix, which was primarily due to an increase in Gaming systems sales.

LOTTERY

The Lottery segment is primarily comprised of our instant games business and our systems-based services and product sales business. Our instant games business generates revenue from the manufacture and sale of instant games, as well as the provision of value-added services such as game design, sales and marketing support, specialty games and promotions, inventory management, warehousing, fulfillment services, as well as full instant game category management. In addition, we provide licensed games, promotional entertainment and internet-based marketing services to the lottery industry. These revenues are presented as instant games revenue.
Our systems-based services and product sales business provides customized computer software, software support, equipment and data communication services, sports wagering systems and keno to lotteries. In the U.S., we typically provide the necessary point-of-sale terminals and equipment, software and maintenance services on a Participation basis under long-term contracts that typically have an initial term of at least five years. Internationally, we typically sell point-of-sale terminals and/or computer software to lottery authorities and may provide ongoing fee-based systems maintenance and software support services. Refer to the Lottery primary business activities summary included within Item 7 of our 2016 10-K.
Our equity investments in LNS, Northstar Illinois, Northstar New Jersey, CSG, Hellenic Lotteries and GLB are included in the Lottery segment.

Current Year Update
We believe we will continue to face intense price-based competition in our Lottery business for the remainder of 2017. In the near term, we also expect to see an increase in the number of jurisdictions that seek to privatize or outsource lottery operations and to face strong competition from both traditional and new competitors with respect to these opportunities. In addition, we anticipate that lottery RFPs, specifically those for private management agreements and certain of our international customers, could increasingly include terms that expose us to increased risk, such as requiring the guarantee of specific income thresholds or significant upfront payments.

.
Primary factors affecting total lower Lottery revenue in the three months ended June 30, 2017 were: (1) a $2.4 million decrease in instant product revenues driven by lower revenues in PPU contracts; and (2) an unfavorable foreign currency impact on revenue (primarily in the U.K.) totaling $2.2 million. Lottery revenues remained flat in the six-month comparable period despite an unfavorable foreign currency impact of $4.2 million.
Operating income
Operating income increased compared to both prior-year periods primarily due to a more profitable revenue mix and the following key factors: (1) a decrease in D&A totaling $4.0 million and $7.9 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, driven by certain Lottery systems equipment becoming fully depreciated during 2016 and write-off of equipment


39


associated with a cancelled contract in 2016; (2) a decrease in SG&A of $4.1 million and $6.3 million for the three- and six-month periods, respectively, primarily due to the business improvement initiative announced in November 2016; and (3) an R&D decrease of $0.6 million and $2.3 million in the three- and six-month periods, respectively, driven by reduced spending on outside resources for certain projects which were nearing completion during the period and headcount reduction initiatives completed subsequent to the second quarter of 2016.
INTERACTIVE
We generate Interactive gaming services revenue through our social gaming, RMG and SG Universe™ products which are all available via desktop and mobile devices.
In our social gaming business, we generate revenue from the sale of virtual coins, chips or bingo cards, which players can use to play slot, table games or bingo games (i.e., spin in the case of slot games, bet in the case of table games and use of bingo cards in the case of bingo games). The games are primarily our WMS®, Bally®, Barcrest®, SHFL®, Dragonplay® and recently acquired Bingo Showdown branded games. In addition, we also offer third-party branded games as well as original content.

In our RMG business, we provide game content to real-money online casino operators, primarily in Europe. We host the play of our game content on our centrally-located servers (often referred to as remote game servers) that are integrated with the online casino operators' websites. We typically earn a percentage of the operator's net gaming revenue generated by the games we host.

Our SG Universe includes three interactive services for land based casino operators: Mobile Concierge, Play4Fun NetworkTM and VenueBet. Mobile Concierge provides casinos with the ability to customize marketing to players while giving players access to their loyalty reward credits and the ability to make on-property reservations. Play4Fun Network is a social casino platform delivered through a land-based casino operator’s branded website and mobile application. VenueBet is an on-property mobile RMG platform that allows casino patrons to play their favorite casino games for real money on their mobile devices while anywhere on the casino property. We typically earn revenue from a combination of service fees and the sale of virtual coins.
Current Year Update
We continue to pursue our multi-product strategy in our social gaming B2C business and, late in the first quarter of 2017, we launched 88 Fortunes Slots on mobile worldwide.
On April 7, 2017, we completed the acquisition of Spicerack Media, Inc., a privately held mobile and social game company, which has allowed us to incorporate the successful Bingo Showdown game into our portfolio.

The increase in revenue compared to both prior-year periods is primarily attributable to social gaming B2C revenue, which grew 31.8% and 32.6% in the three- and six-month comparable periods, respectively, reflecting the ongoing popularity of Jackpot Party Social Casino and the success of more recent apps, such as the introduction of the 88 Fortunes app in the first quarter of 2017, as well as the impact of the acquisition of Spicerack and its Bingo Showdown game, which closed in April 2017.

Operating income
The increase in operating income compared to both prior-year periods reflects the corresponding revenue growth. SG&A expense and R&D expense increased as a result of higher marketing and player acquisition costs, coupled with new product development costs to support ongoing growth initiatives for which revenue has not yet been recognized.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND WORKING CAPITAL
Sources of Liquidity
As of June 30, 2017, our principal sources of liquidity, other than cash flows provided by operating activities, were cash and cash equivalents and amounts available under our revolving credit facility discussed below under "Credit Agreement and Other Debt."


41


During the first quarter of 2017, we completed a series of refinancing transactions (the "February 2017 Refinancing"), which included a private offering of $1.15 billion in aggregate principal amount of 7.000% senior secured notes due 2022, and an amendment to our credit agreement which extended the maturity of our term loans and revolving credit facility, and reduced the applicable interest rate on the term loans. The February 2017 Refinancing reduced the total principal value of our debt by $45.0 million, including payment of the remaining $45.0 million on our revolving credit facility; lowered our annual cash interest cost; extended the maturity to 2021 and 2022 for approximately 95 percent of our debt and significantly reduced our interest rate exposure to floating rates.

The amount of our available cash and cash equivalents fluctuates principally based on borrowings or repayments under our credit facilities, investments, acquisitions and changes in our working capital position. The borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility will depend on the amount of outstanding borrowings and letters of credit issued and on us remaining in compliance with the covenants under our credit agreement, including a maintenance covenant based on consolidated net first lien leverage. We were in compliance with the covenants under our credit agreement as of June 30, 2017. The February 2017 Refinancing, among other things, reduced the commitments on the revolving credit facility to $556.2 million through October 18, 2018, with a step-down to $381.7 million until the maturity in 2020.
We believe that our cash flow from operations, available cash and cash equivalents and available borrowing capacity under our existing or anticipated financing arrangements will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future; however, we cannot assure that this will be the case. We believe that substantially all cash held outside the U.S. is free from legal encumbrances or similar restrictions that would prevent it from being available to meet our global liquidity needs.
Total cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was $53.7 million as of June 30, 2017. To the extent that a portion of our foreign cash was required to meet liquidity needs in the U.S., we might incur a tax liability to repatriate it, the timing and amount of which would depend on a variety of factors.
Our Gaming Participation and Lottery Systems businesses generally require significant upfront capital expenditures, and we may need to incur additional capital expenditures in order to retain or win new contracts. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and other obligations depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. We may also, from time to time, repurchase or otherwise retire or refinance our debt, through our subsidiaries or otherwise. In the event we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities, we may need to raise additional capital. If we do not have adequate liquidity to support these activities, we may be unable to obtain financing for these cash needs on favorable terms or at all. For additional information regarding our cash needs and related risks, see Item 1A "Risk Factors" in our 2016 10-K.   
In addition, lottery customers in the U.S. generally require service providers to provide performance bonds in connection with the relevant contract. As of June 30, 2017, our outstanding performance bonds totaled $225.2 million. Our ability to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms is subject to our financial condition and to prevailing market conditions, which may be impacted by economic and political events. Although we have not experienced difficulty in obtaining such bonds to date, we cannot assure that we will continue to be able to obtain performance bonds on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the increase in incremental net earnings after reconciling adjustments of $402.1 million, combined with a $12.6 million positive change in working capital accounts. The changes in our working capital accounts during the six months ended June 30, 2017 were primarily driven by the following:
$24.4 million decrease in accounts and notes receivables due to strong collections during the six-month period;
$5.4 million increase in inventories primarily due to the timing of orders and deployment of units in our Gaming segment; and
$6.4 million negative net impact on cash flows from changes in other current assets and liabilities.
In April 2017, we entered into a settlement and seven-year patent cross-license agreement with another party that resolved outstanding intellectual property matters between the two companies. As part of this agreement, we received a $20.0 million advance royalty payment.
Cash flows from investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to the business acquisitions described in Note 1, combined with a $7.6 million increase in capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are composed of investments in systems, equipment and other assets related to contracts, property and equipment, intangible assets and software.
Cash flows from financing activities
Net cash used in financing activities decreased primarily due to the February 2017 Refinancing described in Note 10, and lower principal payments on the long-term debt during the period, which resulted in net cash generated from financing activities of $12.6 million compared to a net cash outflow from a reduction of debt of $80.1 million in the prior-year period. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we also incurred $27.7 million in debt issuance and deferred financing costs.
Credit Agreement and Other Debt
For additional information regarding our credit agreement and other debt, interest rate risk and interest rate hedging instruments, see Notes 16 and 17 and Item 7A "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in our 2016 10-K, as well as Note 10.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of June 30, 2017, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations disclosed under Item 7 "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital Contractual Obligations" in our 2016 10-K, other than the refinancing transactions described in Note 10.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
