Key Financial Metrics

Note: Debt figures reflect the book value of long-term debt excluding current portions. Working capital is calculated as Total Current Assets less Total Current Liabilities.

Material Changes vs. Prior Period

• Revenue Growth: Q3 2025 revenue increased 12% year-over-year (YoY) to $86.2M, driven by growth in the Gaming and Interactive segments. Nine-month revenue increased 6% to $226.9M.
• Profitability Decline: Despite revenue growth, Net Loss widened to $1.9M in Q3 (vs. $2.8M income in Q3 2024) and $9.8M for the nine months (vs. $2.2M loss in 2024). This was primarily due to a $5.9M impairment loss on assets held-for-sale and increased interest expense following debt refinancing.
• Debt Refinancing: In June 2025, the company refinanced its senior debt, issuing $363.5M in new Series B Notes (maturing 2030) and establishing a $24.0M revolving credit facility. This replaced prior fixed-rate debt with floating-rate debt (SONIA + margin), increasing interest expense.
• Asset Disposal: The UK holiday parks business (Leisure segment) was classified as "held-for-sale" in Q3 2025. An impairment loss of $5.9M was recognized. The transaction is expected to close in Q4 2025 for approximately $29.0M.
• Cash Flow Improvement: Operating cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, more than doubled to $50.8M compared to $24.8M in the prior year, driven by collections on prior-year machine sales and favorable timing of supplier payments.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

• Liquidity Outlook: Management believes current cash balances ($36.3M), operating cash flows, and the undrawn revolver ($24.0M) are sufficient to fund net cash requirements through November 2026.
• Segment Performance:
  • Gaming: Revenue increased due to terminal deployments in the UK and Greece. Installed base declined slightly (-2.9%) but revenue per machine improved.
  • Virtual Sports: Revenue declined 20% YoY in Q3 due to regulatory changes and new levies in the Brazilian market.
  • Interactive: Strong growth (+44% in Q3) driven by new content launches and expansion in the UK and North America.
  • Leisure: Operating income significantly impacted by the $5.9M impairment charge related to the pending sale of holiday parks.
• Subsequent Events: Following the non-renewal of two significant customer contracts in the pub sector, the company initiated a consultation process expected to result in employee departures in Q4 2025, with estimated severance costs between $3.4M and $4.7M.
• Internal Controls: Disclosure controls and procedures were deemed not effective as of September 30, 2025, due to material weaknesses identified in the prior year. Management is actively remediating these issues and anticipates full remediation by year-end 2025.
• Market Risks: Significant exposure to foreign currency exchange rates (GBP/USD) and interest rate fluctuations (SONIA) due to the new floating-rate debt structure.

Investor Verification Checklist

• Debt Covenants: Verify continued compliance with the new Senior Notes leverage ratio covenant (max 5.0x) and Revolving Credit Facility covenant (max 5.50x).
• Asset Sale Closing: Monitor the closing of the UK holiday parks business sale in Q4 2025 and the realization of the ~$29.0M proceeds.
• Severance Costs: Track the final cost of the Q4 2025 restructuring related to non-renewed pub contracts ($3.4M–$4.7M range).
• Remediation Progress: Review the effectiveness of remediation efforts regarding material weaknesses in internal controls over financial reporting.
• Interest Rate Sensitivity: Assess the impact of rising SONIA rates on future interest expenses given the new floating-rate debt structure.
