Fourth Quarter 2021 Financial Highlights

• Fourth quarter revenue was $154.4 million, an increase of 5.0% over the prior year period. Mobile revenue grew 7.2% over the prior year period to $137.8 million. Revenue growth in the quarter was due to strong game performance with Gold Fish^® Casino achieving its 5^th consecutive quarterly record revenue, the relaunch of Quick Hit^® Slots driving 17% growth versus the prior year and 14% sequential growth, while Jackpot Party^® Casino generated its second highest quarterly revenue ever.
• Net income was $12.2 million compared to $31.0 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by a charge of $24.5 million related to a settlement agreement for a putative class-action lawsuit in the State of Washington and higher expenses related to the Scientific Games merger proposal. Net income margin was 7.9% for the quarter, a decrease of 13.2 percentage points from the prior year period.
• AEBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $47.4 million compared to $45.0 million in the prior year period, an increase of 5.3%. Higher revenue performance was offset by an increase in general and administrative and R&D expenses as the Company continued to invest in talent to support its growth initiatives. Sales and marketing expense continued to decline as a percentage of revenue. AEBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was 30.7%, an increase of 10 bps from the prior year period.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $37.5 million, a $24.0 million decrease from the prior year due to an unfavorable working capital change primarily associated with the timing of platform collections.
• Cash and cash equivalents increased $33.6 million to $364.4 million from the third quarter 2021. Total available liquidity, which includes our undrawn revolver, was $514.4 million at year-end 2021.

Fourth Quarter Key Performance Highlights

• Payer Conversion Rate reached an all-time high of 8.9% validating our strategy as we leveraged our live services capabilities to enhance game play and engagement, driving increased monetization.
• Average Monthly Revenue Per Paying User (AMRPPU) increased $6.98 to $98.38 over the prior year quarter.
• Average Revenue Per Daily Active User (ARPDAU) grew 17.5% from the prior year quarter to $0.74.

Full Year 2021 Financial Highlights

• Revenue grew 4.1% to $606.1 million, compared to prior year revenue of $582.2 million. This was due to increased player engagement driving improved monetization as key strategic initiatives drove strong game performance.
• Net income decreased $21.0 million to $125.0 million as compared to $146.0 million in prior year primarily due to a charge of $24.5 million related to the State of Washington settlement agreement and higher expenses related to the Scientific Games merger proposal. Net income margin of 20.6% was down from 25.1% in the prior year.
• AEBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was $185.9 million as compared to $188.7 million in the prior year, a decrease of 1.5%, due to higher operating expenses offset by a record revenue for full-year 2021. During the year, we added talent to our game and marketing teams to support our growth initiatives. AEBITDA margin, a non-GAAP financial measure defined below, was 30.7%, a decrease of 170 bps.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $163.8 million, a decline of 15.3% year-over-year, reflecting strong results offset by timing of payables.
• Cash and cash equivalents increased by $95.5 million to $364.4 million as of year-end 2021.

Full Year 2021 Key Performance Highlights

• Payer Conversion Rate grew 140 bps to 8.5% validating our strategy of continuing to focus on live operations to enhance game play and engagement, driving increased monetization.
• AMRPPU increased $2.51 to $95.26 over the comparable year.
• ARPDAU grew 18.3% from the prior year period to $0.71.
• Mobile Penetration increased 200 bps from the prior year to 89%.

Forward-Looking Statements

Throughout this press release, we make “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

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.

• the impact of legal and regulatory restrictions on our business, including significant opposition in some jurisdictions to interactive social gaming, including social casino gaming, and how such opposition could lead these jurisdictions to adopt legislation or impose a regulatory framework to govern interactive social gaming or social casino gaming specifically, and how this could result in a prohibition on interactive social gaming or social casino gaming altogether, restrict our ability to advertise our games, or substantially increase our costs to comply with these regulations;
• laws and government regulations, both foreign and domestic, including those relating to our parent, Scientific Games Corporation, and to data privacy and security, including with respect to the collection, storage, use, transmission, sharing and protection of personal information and other consumer data, and those laws and regulations that affect companies conducting business on the internet, including ours;

Additional information will also be set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (including under the headings "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Risk Factors"). 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 and expressly disclaim any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

This press release 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 international social gaming industries than the same industries in the U.S. Some data is also based on our good faith estimates, which are derived from our review of internal surveys or data, as well as the independent sources referenced above. Assumptions and estimates of our and our industry's future performance are necessarily subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to a variety of factors, including those described in "Risk Factors" in Part I, Item 1A of our 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K. These and other factors could cause future performance to differ materially from our assumptions and estimates.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Adjusted EBITDA, or AEBITDA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure and is reconciled to net income attributable to SciPlay as the most directly comparable GAAP measure as set forth in the above table. We define AEBITDA to include net income attributable to SciPlay before: (1) net income attributable to noncontrolling interest; (2) interest expense; (3) income tax expense; (4) depreciation and amortization; (5) restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (a) employee severance; (b) management changes; (c) restructuring and integration; (d) M&A and other, which includes: (i) M&A transaction costs; (ii) purchase accounting adjustments (including contingent acquisition consideration); (iii) unusual items (including legal settlements related to major litigation) and (iv) other non-cash items; (e) cost-savings initiatives; (6) stock-based compensation; (7) loss (gain) on debt financing transactions; and (8) other expense (income) including foreign currency (gains) and losses. We also use AEBITDA margin, a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate as AEBITDA as a percentage of revenue.

Our management uses AEBITDA and AEBITDA margin to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of our business operations; (ii) facilitate our management’s internal comparisons of our historical operating performance; and (iii) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and operating budgets. In addition, our management uses AEBITDA and AEBITDA margin to facilitate management’s external comparisons of our results to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels.

Our management believes that AEBITDA and AEBITDA margin are useful as they provide investors with information regarding our financial condition and operating performance that is an integral part of our management’s reporting and planning processes. In particular, our management believes that AEBITDA is helpful because this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effects of restructuring, transaction, integration or other items that management believes have less bearing on our ongoing underlying operating performance. Management believes AEBITDA margin is useful as it provides investors with information regarding the underlying operating performance and margin generated by our business operations.
