Insights

IGT's Strategic Transformation and Solid Financial Performance Position Company for Future Growth

IGT's Q4 and full-year 2024 results demonstrate the resilience of its lottery business while highlighting the company's strategic pivot to become a pure-play lottery operator. The announced $4.05 billion sale of its Gaming & Digital business to Apollo represents a watershed moment that will streamline operations and significantly strengthen the balance sheet.

The company's financial performance remained solid with full-year revenue of $2.5 billion and Adjusted EBITDA of $1.17 billion, yielding an impressive 46.6% margin. This margin structure underscores the highly profitable nature of IGT's lottery operations, which feature recurring revenue streams and long-term contracts that provide exceptional visibility and stability.

The robust cash generation capabilities of IGT's lottery business are particularly noteworthy, with $1.03 billion in consolidated cash from operations and $659 million in free cash flow for 2024. This cash flow engine enables IGT to simultaneously invest in growth initiatives, reduce debt, and return capital to shareholders through its $0.20 quarterly dividend.

IGT's contract wins and extensions across multiple jurisdictions—including Colorado, North Carolina, Tennessee, and Lithuania—validate its market leadership and technology capabilities. These long-duration contracts (ranging from 7 to 12 years) create a formidable competitive moat and provide revenue stability that few businesses can match.

The 2025 outlook reveals both near-term investments and long-term strategic positioning. While H1 2025 faces headwinds from lower jackpot activity and increased investments ($25 million), these investments are strategically timed to coincide with IGT's next capital expenditure cycle. The company is wisely investing to secure its portfolio and extend contract durations beyond eight years, which will drive sustainable growth and shareholder returns.

The planned $2 billion debt reduction following the Gaming & Digital sale will transform IGT's capital structure, reducing leverage and interest expense while creating additional financial flexibility. This positions the company to potentially increase shareholder returns or pursue strategic acquisitions in the lottery space.

For investors, IGT now offers a clearer investment thesis as a pure-play lottery operator with predictable cash flows, long-term contracts, high margins, and a compelling growth profile in the low-to-mid single digits. While 2025 will be a transition year with elevated investments and the Italy Lotto license payment impacting reported cash flows, the underlying business fundamentals remain exceptionally strong.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Performance achieves outlook:

  • Revenue of $651 million propelled by strong growth in instant ticket and draw game sales across geographies
  • Income from continuing operations of $116 million with associated margin of 17.9%
  • Generated Adjusted EBITDA of $290 million and an Adjusted EBITDA margin of 44.5%, reflecting strong performance of core, recurring business and increased investment in growth initiatives

Full Year 2024 Financial Performance achieves outlook:

  • Revenue of $2.5 billion driven by instant ticket and draw game sales in the U.S. & Canada and Italy
  • Income from continuing operations of $271 million with associated margin of 10.8%
  • Delivered Adjusted EBITDA of $1.17 billion; Adjusted EBITDA margin of 46.6% reflects compelling margin structure associated with pure play lottery business
  • Consolidated cash from operations of $1.03 billion including $689 million from continuing operations; strong consolidated free cash flow of $659 million, with over 80% generated by continuing operations
  • Strong core, recurring business provides solid foundation for 2025

    • Global same-store sales up low-single-digits
    • Higher product sales, driven by sustainable instant ticket services growth

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Management supplements the reporting of financial information, determined under GAAP, with certain non-GAAP financial information. Management believes the non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but it is not intended to nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. The Company encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly-filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, interest expense, net, foreign exchange gain (loss), net, other non-operating expenses (e.g., gains/losses on extinguishment and modifications of debt, etc.), net, depreciation, impairment losses, amortization (service revenue, purchase accounting, and non-purchase accounting), restructuring expenses, stock-based compensation, litigation expense (income), and certain other non-recurring items. Other non-recurring items are infrequent in nature and are not reflective of ongoing operational activities.

Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share (a GAAP measure), excluding the effects of foreign exchange, impairments, amortization from purchase accounting, discrete tax items, and other significant non-recurring adjustments that are not reflective of on-going operational activities (e.g., gains/losses on sale of business, gains/losses on extinguishment and modifications of debt, etc.). Adjusted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive to GAAP net income (loss) per share but dilutive to Adjusted EPS. Management believes that Adjusted EPS is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents debt (a GAAP measure, calculated as long-term obligations plus short-term borrowings) minus capitalized debt issuance costs and cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents classified as held for sale. Cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents held for sale, are subtracted from the GAAP measure because they could be used to reduce the Company's debt obligations. Management believes that net debt is a useful measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.

Net debt leverage is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the ratio of Net debt as of a particular balance sheet date to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months ("LTM") prior to such date. Management believes that net debt leverage is a useful measure to assess IGT's financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing IGT's ability to fund its activities, including debt service and distribution of earnings to shareholders.

Constant currency is a non-GAAP financial measure that expresses current financial data using the prior-year/period exchange rate (i.e., the exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements for the prior year). Management believes that constant currency is a useful measure to compare period-to-period results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this release. The tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures.

Outlook for Fiscal 2025 and Guidance Policy
Strong, core recurring business provides solid foundation for 2025:

  • Revenue of $2.55 - $2.65 billion, up low-mid single digits
    • Global same-store sales up low-single-digits
    • Higher product sales, driven by sustainable instant ticket services growth
    • H1'25 impacted by an estimated $40 - $50 million from lower U.S. Multi-state Jackpot activity and associated LMA incentives, accounting for lower expected revenue in Q1'25 versus Q1'24
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $1.10 - $1.15 billion
    • Flow-through of lower U.S. Multi-state Jackpot activity and associated LMA incentives referenced above
    • $25 million of increased investment in the business (contract rebids and extensions, cloud-based solutions, network optimization), which are mostly concentrated in H1'25 and are expected to deliver future capital expenditure efficiencies
    • Q1'25 Adjusted EBITDA down approximately $70 million, primarily on lower U.S. Multi-state Jackpot activity and associated LMA incentives, in addition to unfavorable product mix and investment in the business; in the balance of the year, Adjusted EBITDA is aligned with the prior year, including growth in H2'25
  • Net cash used in operating activities of approximately $300 million
    • Includes €800 million (approximately $850 million) related to first two installments of Italy Lotto upfront license fee (reflects 100% consolidation of Italy joint venture; minority partner contributions representing their pro rata share are recorded in cash flows from financing activities)
    • Ex-Lotto license fee and compared to FY'24, cash flow performance impacted approximately one-third by the lower forecasted Adjusted EBITDA and two-thirds by the timing of certain working capital items
  • Capital expenditures of approximately $450 million; reflects increased investments related to contract wins, extensions, and upcoming bids

The Company provides guidance of select information related to its financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year. The guidance is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release. Actual results will vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. The Company undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

A reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such a reconciliation to be prepared, for example, the provision for income taxes or net foreign exchange gain/loss, as such items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.
