Executive Comments

“Q2 2023 was a record quarter for us in revenue, adjusted EBITDA and cash on hand,” said Todd Cravens, President and CEO. “But Q2 was meaningful for more than just the numbers. We announced a ten-year agreement with Evolution, cementing the relationship with our largest customer well into future. We also announced that, in September, we will become the exclusive distributor for EZ Baccarat^® in the US, Canada, the UK and online, an opportunity that we think can generate several million dollars in new revenue for us. And after the quarter, we saw the first installations of our GOS platform in the US and UK and we are very pleased with the results. It has been a very busy six months for us and I want to publicly thank all my fellow Galaxians for their loyalty and dedication.”

“Consistent with Q1, perpetual license sales to a single GG Core customer were $1.6 million in Q2,” said Harry Hagerty, CFO. “Excluding those sales, revenue in GG Core was $3.8 million in Q2 23 as compared to $3.7 million in Q2 22. In GG Digital, revenue (net) was $2.2 million in Q2 23 as compared to $1.9 million in Q2 22.

“Our liquidity is good,” Hagerty continued. “At quarter-end, cash was $18.7 million and our long-term debt was $58.6 million. Adjusted EBITDA of $3.2 million was well in excess of the $1.9 million in cash interest in the quarter. Our loan from Fortress Credit Corp. requires our net leverage not to exceed 6.0x at any of the quarter-ends in 2023, and at the end of Q2 we were at 3.4x, comfortably in compliance. It remains our intention to refinance our debt, but conditions in the bank market are less robust than they were at the beginning of the year.   Our centerline plan is to continue to reduce our net leverage so that we can be ready to act when the bank market improves.

“With respect to fiscal 2023, we are increasing our guidance for revenue (net of iGaming royalties) from a range of $27.5-$28.5 million to a range of $29-$30 million, and we are increasing the guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the high end of the previously announced range of $13.0-13.25 million. We expect significantly reduced sales of perpetual licenses in the second half of 2023, offset by increased revenue from our GOS installations as well as from EZ Baccarat placements. This forecast assumes no impact to our business from the war in Ukraine, and no economic recession. Finally, the forecast is based on currency exchange rates that we experienced in the second quarter.”

The company will update its investor deck to reflect the results this quarter. Investors are encouraged to send questions to management at investors@galaxygaming.com by Wednesday, August 16. Management will post their answers to investors on August 23.
