As a result of the SEC Staff Statement, Inspired restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. For the three months ended September 30, 2020, the change in fair value of warrant liability resulting from the SEC Staff Statement was a $0.2 million credit. 4 The three months ended September 30, 2020 includes $9.3 million of VAT-related revenue and $9.1 million of VAT-related income.

"Our strong third quarter financial results exceeded our expectations, in the face of changing foreign exchange rates and delays in COVID-19 restriction removals, supporting our confidence in the long-term outlook for the Company. Between the strong retail gaming outlook, robust iGaming trends and the overall improvement in our cost structure coming out of COVID-19, we were able to generate $19.8 million in operating cash flow and increase our cash position by $12.6 million during the quarter. At September 30, 2021, we had a cash balance of approximately $37.1 million and undrawn revolver availability of approximately $27.0 million³, leaving us in a better financial position than ever to deliver on our strategic plan and maximize shareholder value," said Stewart Baker, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Inspired.

"Our North American business remains a key driver of growth as we continue to expand our footprint, add to our portfolio of games and improve our speed to market. In addition to introducing our Virtuals online with BetMGM in New Jersey in the third quarter, we launched our Interactive games with DraftKings in Michigan and signed a multi-year exclusive contract with the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association (MLBPAA) to bring the MLBPAA greats to life in a virtual homerun hitting competition.  We have been actively pursuing online gaming supplier licenses in several additional jurisdictions and announced Loto-Quebec as our first iLottery customer, which we believe is an underpenetrated sector.  We continue to see significant opportunities in the North American gaming landscape, and we believe we are well positioned based on our content-driven strategy and depth of relationships," continued Weil.

Overview of Third Quarter 2021 Results Versus Third Quarter 2020 on a Reported Basis

Total Revenue increased 29.0% year-over-year to $77.6 million in the three months ended September 30, 2021, on a reported basis, compared to $60.1 million in the prior-year period. Excluding the VAT-related revenue, Total Revenue increased 52.7% year-over-year reflecting the continued growth in the Interactive and Virtual Sports segments and strong recovery in the Gaming and Leisure segments following customers' retail venues reopening following COVID-19 lockdowns.

Interactive Revenue grew 73.4% year-over-year to a record $6.1 million from $3.5 million, due to the consistent launch of new content across the estate, growth in the customer base in new, emerging and core markets and increased promotional activity through exclusive deals with tier-one customers. This performance led to Interactive segment operating income increasing 44.9% year-over-year to $2.3 million, primarily due to the increase in revenue and partly offset by an increase in cost of sales and third-party platform provider costs in line with the revenue increase as well as an increase in SG&A expenses driven by the investment in the segment to help drive the increasing revenues.  Interactive Adjusted EBITDA increased 53.9% year-over-year to $3.4 million from $2.2 million in the prior-year period. 

Virtual Sports Revenue increased to a record $10.5 million in third quarter 2021 from $8.3 million in the prior-year period primarily due to a $2.8 million increase in Online Virtuals driven by the migration of customers to online, partially offset by a decline in recurring Retail Virtuals of $0.5 million.  Some retailers are reporting revenues ahead of pre-Covid levels, but others remain modestly behind with an improving picture week-on-week as recreational players return to shops. In addition, the Italian government introduced a proof of vaccination requirement during August which has slowed recovery. Virtual Sports Segment Operating Income was $7.6 million, which compares favorably to $5.7 million in the third quarter 2020 primarily due to the increase in revenue. Virtual Sports Adjusted EBITDA increased to $8.6 million from $6.8 million in the third quarter 2020. 

Gaming Service Revenue (excluding VAT-related revenue) increased year-over-year by $1.8 million as Inspired's retail customers returned to pre-COVID performance levels in third quarter 2021. Total Gaming Customer Gross Win per unit per day (in our functional currency, GBP) for the three-month period increased by £6.08, or 8.6%, as retail venues in the UK LBO estate showed year-over-year growth.  Revenues returned to prior-year levels in Greece and Italy. Gaming Product Revenue increased by $3.7 million driven by product sales of $2.0 million in the UK markets, $1.1 million in sales to Italy and $0.8 million of VALOR™ terminal sales in North America. Gaming Segment Operating Income for third quarter 2021 was $5.1 million. Excluding VAT-related income, Gaming Operating Income increased by $4.6 million year-over-year due to an increase in product revenue and a decrease in depreciation and amortization, partly offset by an increase in SG&A as all staff returned from furlough.  Gaming Adjusted EBITDA was $10.9 million.  Excluding VAT-related income, Gaming Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.6 million year-over-year. 

Leisure Revenue increased $16.0 million to $33.4 million in third quarter 2021 from $17.4 million in third quarter 2020 driven by record incomes in leisure parks with the removal of all COVID-19 restrictions for the majority of the period. COVID-19 restrictions resulted in frequent amendments to overseas travel policies in the UK, resulting in a record summer season for our Leisure Parks business despite initial restrictions in Wales and Scotland.  During the prior-year period, many sectors of the Leisure segment (Pubs, Holiday Parks, Motorway Service Areas and Bingo) were impacted due to the COVID-19 lockdown in the UK. Motorway Service Areas have delivered strong performance in the quarter with revenue ahead of pre-pandemic levels on a like-for-like basis. Pubs have been slower to recover following reopening, however, machine performance has improved during the quarter. Digitization of the pub estate has continued with further digital machines placed in the quarter taking digital penetration to 78%. Leisure Segment Operating Income improved to $9.0 million from a loss of $2.1 million.  Leisure Adjusted EBITDA improved to $13.0 million from $3.3 million in the third quarter 2020. Leisure Adjusted EBITDA Margin nearly doubled year-over-year to 38.9% from 19.1%, exhibiting the strength of the business and the results of the integration efforts.

Total Company Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $29.2 million from $21.5 million in the prior-year period. This $7.7 million increase was driven by all staff returning from furlough for the whole period ($3.6 million), additional other employee costs ($0.4 million), additional IT costs due to returning staff ($0.3 million) and lower labor capitalization ($0.3 million). Currency movements accounted for $1.8 million of the increase.

Net Income during the quarter increased to $25.0 million compared to $0.5 million in the prior-year period primarily due to the increase in net operating income ($6.7 million), the increase in credit of the change in fair value of warrant liability ($17.1 million) and a decrease in net interest expense ($1.0 million). 

Total Company Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Less Capital Expenditures during the quarter was an inflow of $13.8 million.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We use these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our industry to measure performance. For these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to standard U.S. GAAP financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for defining and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, even if they have similar labels. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial measures.

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments. Such additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension schemes. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business. This does not include any adjustments related to COVID-19.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities). Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Functional Currency at Constant rate. Currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP: USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.

Currency Movement represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional currency at constant rate basis.

Reconciliations from net loss, as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, to Adjusted EBITDA are shown below.
