We report our results of continuing operations in 3three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures included herein relate to our continuing operations.
Effective April 28, 2022, we changed our name to Light & Wonder, Inc. This change is in part due to the sale of the Lottery Business that will continue to use our previous name, Scientific Games, and also to align with our vision of becoming the leading cross-platform global gamegames company.
On September 27, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Sports Betting Business to Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (“Endeavor”) in a cash and stock transaction. On June 30,During the third quarter of 2022, we entered into an amendment tocompleted the agreement, under which the cash consideration was reduced from $1,000 million to $750 million and the stock consideration was reduced from approximately 7.6 million shares of Endeavor Class A common stock (valued at approximately $200 million as of the date of the purchase agreement) to approximately 2.3 million shares of Endeavor Class A common stock (valued at approximately $50 million as of the date of the amendment and based on the volume weighted average price of Endeavor Class A common stock in the twenty days before the date of the amendment). The amendment additionally waives the closing condition requiring regulatory approval by the Nevada Gaming Control Board and extends the agreement date to December 30, 2022 if certain conditions to closing are not met by September 27, 2022.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statementsGAAP and include the accounts of L&W, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of L&W and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2021 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
Significant Accounting Policies

Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Income Attributable to L&W Per Share

the assumed exercise of stock options and RSUs only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive to net income from continuing operations.

Acquisitions
SciPlay Acquisition of Alictus Yazilim Anonim Şirketi (“Alictus”)
On March 1, 2022, SciPlay acquired 80% of all issued and outstanding share capital of privately held Alictus, a Turkey-based hyper-casual game studio for approximately $106$109 million cash consideration, net of cash acquired. The remaining 20% will be acquired ratably for potential additional consideration payable annually based upon the achievement of specified revenue and earnings targets by Alictus during each of the five years following the acquisition date. Any future payments associated with the acquisition of the remaining 20% will represent a redeemable non-controlling interest, with a minimum payout of $0 million and a maximum payout of $200 million. The Alictus acquisition expands SciPlay’s business in the casual gaming market, growing its game pipeline and diversifying its revenue streams as it advances its strategy to be a diversified global game developer.
Playzido Limited (“Playzido”)
In April 2022, we acquired Playzido, a dynamic content creation platform provider and game supplier, which is expected to accelerate the pace at which we can partner with game studios and operators to expand our iGaming content offering.
We accounted for these acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting, allocating the total consideration transferred to acquired tangible and intangible assets and assumed liabilities based on estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of the acquired assets, assumed liabilities and resulting goodwill are subject to adjustment as we finalize our purchase price accounting. The following table summarizes an aggregate disclosure related to the acquisitions above and is based on the preliminary purchase price allocationallocations expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2022:

(1) Exclusive of $6 million acquired in short term investments.(2) Fair values were determined using an income approach primarily based on reaching certain revenue and earnings-based metrics, with discount rates ranging between 2% and 16% and a maximum payout of up to $213 million.(3) Intangible assets primarily consist of intellectual property, consisting of games technology and content platforms, and trade names. The fair value of these intangible assets was determined using an income approach method and level 3 inputs in the hierarchy as established by ASC 820. The discount rates used in the valuation analyses ranged between 16% and 18%. Royalty rates used for the trade names as well as acquired game content and related technology ranged between 1% and 3% and 20% and 21%, respectively.
(4) The factors contributing to the recognition of acquisition goodwill are based on game portfolio and platform diversification, expected synergies, assembled workforce and other strategic benefits. None of the resultant goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.(4) The factors contributing to the recognition of acquisition goodwill are based on game portfolio and platform diversification, expected synergies, assembled workforce and other strategic benefits.

The revenue and earnings associated with the above acquisitions are immaterial to our current and historical consolidated financial statements.
In October 2022, we acquired substantially all of the assets of House Advantage, LLC, a leading loyalty and marketing software and technology provider, which will expand our Gaming systems offering with enhanced loyalty capabilities.
New Accounting Guidance - Recently Adopted
The FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers, in October 2021. The new guidance requires that an acquirer recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination in accordance with revenue recognition guidance. We adopted this standard during the third quarter of 2022 on a retrospective basis for the current fiscal year. The adoption of this guidance did not have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.
New Accounting Guidance - Not Yet Adopted
The FASB issued ASUASUs No. 2020-04 and subsequently ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) in March 2020 and January 2021, respectively. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, including derivative instruments impacted by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows for computing variable margin settlements, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued by June 2023. The ASUs establish certain contract modification principles that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and certain elective hedge accounting expedients

12



and exceptions. The ASUs may be applied prospectively. Based on our preliminary assessment completed to date, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

12



We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Credit Quality of Receivables
We have certain concentrations of outstanding receivables in international locations that impact our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. We monitor the macroeconomic and political environment in each of these locations in our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. The international customers with significant concentrations (generally deemed to be exceeding 10%) of our receivables with terms longer than one year are primarily in the Latin America region (“LATAM”) and are primarily comprised of Mexico, Peru and Argentina. The following table summarizes our LATAM receivables:

Receivables$72 $38 $34 
Allowance for credit losses(22)(10)(12)
Receivables, net$50 $28 $22 
We continuously review receivables and as information concerning credit quality arise, reassess our expectations of future losses and record an incremental reserve if warranted at that time. Our current allowance for credit losses represents our current expectation of credit losses; however future expectations could change as international unrest or other macro-economic factors impact the financial stability of our customers.
The fair value of receivables is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of receivables, net, approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms of receivables generally being less than 24 months.

April 2022 Refinancing
On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with other principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April 2022, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions.
As a part of these transactions, we entered into the new credit agreements, which contains the following debt facilities:
$2,200 million new term loan facility maturing in April 2029. The new term loan facility will bearbears interest at either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 3.00% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 2.00% per annum. The new term loan facility amortizes in quarterly installments in aggregate amounts of equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount per year; and
$750 million revolving credit facility maturing in April 2027. The new revolving credit facility will bearbears interest at either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (or an alternative benchmark rate for non-US dollar borrowings) plus 2.00% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 1.00% per annum, with one 0.25% per annum step-up and one 0.25% per annum step-down based on SGI’s first lien net leverage ratio at the end of future fiscal quarters.

22


With the issuance of the new term loan facility and using the proceeds from the divestiture of the Lottery Business (see Note 1), we retired and redeemed the following outstanding debt and paid accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus related premiums, fees and expenses:

(1) Premium, other fees and expenses include fees associated with SGI Term Loan B.
The new credit facilities are subject to customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants as well as a financial covenant. The financial covenant is solely for the benefit of the new revolving facility, is tested at the end of each fiscal quarter if the outstanding borrowings (excluding up to $5 million of undrawn letters of credit and any cash collateralized letters of credit) under the new revolving facility exceed 30% of the commitments under the new revolving facility, and requires that the Company not be in excess of a maximum consolidated net first lien leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00.
We were in compliance with the financial covenants under all debt agreements as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 (for information regarding our financial covenants of all debt agreements, see Note 15 in our 2021 10-K).
Loss on Debt Refinancing Transactions
The following are components of the loss on debt financing transactions resulting from debt extinguishment and modification accounting for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022.

(12) Fair Value Measurements
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are described below.
Derivative Financial Instruments
As of and for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we held the following derivative instruments that were accounted for pursuant to ASC 815:
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
We used interest rate swap contracts as described below to mitigate gains or losses associated with the change in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt.
In February 2018, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we pay. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. We paid interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.4418% and received interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps was $800 million. These hedges matured in February 2022.

23


In April 2022, we entered into new interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our new variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we pay. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. We pay interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.8320% and receive interest at a variable rate equal to one-month CMEChicago Mercantile Exchange Term SOFR. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps was $700 million as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022. These hedges mature in April 2027.
All gains and losses from these hedges were recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the future underlying payment transactions occur. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the hedges were recognized (together with the hedged transaction) as Interest expense. We estimated the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts by discounting the future cash flows of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest payments based on market yield curves. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as established by ASC 820.
The following table shows the Gain (loss) and Interest expense recognized on our interest rate swap contracts:

Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps
We entered into certain cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to achieve more beneficial interest rates by effectively converting $460 million of our fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated 2025 Secured Notes including the semi-annual interest payments through October 2023, to fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt, with a fixed annual weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.946%.variable rates. We had previously designated these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in our operating results caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar.
Weand used the spot method to measure the effectiveness of our net investment hedge. Under this method, for each reporting period,As a result, the change in the fair value of the $460 million cross-currency interest rate swaps was reported in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The cross-currency basis spread (along with other components of the cross-currency swap’s fair value excluded from the spot method effectiveness assessment) were amortized and recorded to Interest expense. We evaluated the effectiveness of our net investment hedge at the beginning of each quarter.
In April 2022 andloss until their settlement as a resultpart of the April 2022 Refinancing, in which we settled our cross-currency interest rate swaps and receivedthese for approximately $50 million in cash proceeds.

Net Investment Non-derivative Hedge — 2026 Secured Euro Notes
As a result of the April 2022 Refinancing described above, we redeemed all of 2026 Secured Euro Notes and no longer have a designated net investment hedge.
Contingent Acquisition Consideration Liabilities
In connection with our acquisitions, we have recorded certain contingent consideration liabilities (including redeemable non-controlling interest), of which the values are primarily based on reaching certain earnings-based metrics. The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on their respective acquisition dates as a part of the consideration transferred and are remeasured each reporting period (other than for redeemable non-controlling interest, which is measured based on its redemption value). The inputs used to measure the fair value of our liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Share Repurchase Programs
As described in Note 17 within our 2021 10-K and in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through February 25, 2025, up to an aggregate amount of $750 million of our outstanding common stock over a three-year period.stock. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we repurchased 3.7 million shares of common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $203 million and an average of $55.39 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2022 and through November 4, 2022, we purchased an additional 0.7 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $38 million.
On May 9, 2022, SciPlay’s Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 9, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of its outstanding Class A common stock. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, SciPlay repurchased 0.51.4 million shares of Class A common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $7$18 million and an average of $13.76$13.13 per share. Subsequent to September 30, 2022 and through November 4, 2022, SciPlay purchased an additional 0.7 million shares of common stock at an aggregate cost of $10 million.
(14) Income Taxes
We consider new evidence (both positive and negative) at each reporting date that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. We evaluate information such as historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in our analysis. Based on the available evidence, valuation allowances in certain U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions remain consistent as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022.
Our income tax expense (including discrete items) was $1$4 million and $4$8 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, respectively, and $6income tax benefit was $172 million and $9$164 million for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2021, respectively. In 2022, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of not benefiting year to date losses in continuing operations in accordance with the intra-period tax expense/benefit allocation rules as generally prescribed under ASC 740-20. In all periods, we recorded tax expense relative to pre-tax earnings in jurisdictions without valuation allowances, including our 19% noncontrolling interest in SciPlay.

(16) Litigation
We are involved in various legal proceedings, which are described in Note 20 within our 2021 10-K. There have been no material changes to these matters since the 2021 10-K was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, except as described below.
We record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated (although, as discussed below, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the accrued liability). We evaluate our accruals for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect (1) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments, (2) the advice and analyses of counsel and (3) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with our legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. We had accrued liabilities of $3 million and $27 million for all of our legal matters that were contingencies both as of JuneSeptember 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021.2021, respectively.
Substantially all of our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Consequently, the ultimate outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued. We may be unable to estimate a range of possible losses for some matters pending against us or our subsidiaries, even when the amount of damages claimed against us or our subsidiaries is stated because, among other things: (1) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (2) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (3) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (4) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (5) the matter may not have progressed sufficiently through discovery or there

28


may be significant factual or legal issues to be resolved or developed; and/or (6) there may be uncertainty as to the enforceability of legal judgments and outcomes in certain jurisdictions. Other matters have progressed sufficiently that we are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For those legal contingencies disclosed in Note 20 in our 2021 10-K and this Note 16herein as well as those related to the previously disclosed settlement agreement entered into in February 2015 with SNAI S.p.a., as to which a loss is reasonably possible, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, and for which we are able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is up to approximately $13$12 million in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) related to those legal contingencies. This aggregate range represents management’s estimate of additional possible loss in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) with respect to these matters based on currently available information, including any damages claimed by the plaintiffs, and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and inherent

29


uncertainties. For example, at the time of making an estimate, management may have only preliminary, incomplete, or inaccurate information about the facts underlying a claim; its assumptions about the future rulings of the court or other tribunal on significant issues, or the behavior and incentives of adverse parties, regulators, indemnitors or co‑defendants, may prove to be wrong; and the outcomes it is attempting to predict are often not amenable to the use of statistical or other quantitative analytical tools. In addition, from time to time an outcome may occur that management had not accounted for in its estimate because it had considered that outcome to be remote. Furthermore, as noted above, the aggregate range does not include any matters for which we are not able to estimate a range of possible loss. Accordingly, the estimated aggregate range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Any such losses could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The legal proceedings underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
Colombia litigation
Our subsidiary, SGI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under a contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successors, “Ecosalud”), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, SGI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5.0 million if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, SGI delivered to Ecosalud a $4.0 million surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech’s exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, 1993.
In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, SGI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. SGI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the “Tribunal”), which upheld both resolutions. SGI appealed each decision to the Council of State. In May 2012, the Council of State upheld the contract default resolution, which decision was notified to us in August 2012. In October 2013, the Council of State upheld the liquidation resolution, which decision was notified to us in December 2013.
In July 1996, Ecosalud filed a lawsuit against SGI in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia asserting many of the same claims asserted in the Colombia proceedings, including breach of contract, and seeking damages. In March 1997, the District Court dismissed Ecosalud’s claims. Ecosalud appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision in 1998.
In June 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against SGI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In May 2013, the Tribunal denied SGI’s merit defenses to the collection proceeding and issued an order of payment of approximately 90 billion Colombian pesos, or approximately $30.2 million, plus default interest (potentially accrued since 1994 at a 12% statutory interest rate). SGI filed an appeal to the Council of State, and on December 10, 2020, the Council of State issued a ruling affirming the Tribunal’s decision. On December 16, 2020, SGI filed a motion for clarification of the Council of State’s ruling, which was denied on April 15, 2021. On April 22, 2021, SGI filed a motion for reconsideration relating to that decision, which the Council of State denied on February 21, 2022. On May 24, 2022, the case was transferred from the Council of State to the Tribunal for further proceedings. On August 18, 2022, SGI filed a constitutional challenge to the Council of State’s December 10, 2020 decision with that court, which is pending.
SGI believes it has various defenses, including on the merits, against Ecosalud’s claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and we cannot assure that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability.
Washington State Matter
The Washington State matter settlement previously accrued in the amount of $25 million (as described in Note 20 in our 2021 10-K) was fully paid and settled by SciPlay during the third quarter of 2022.
TCS John Huxley Matter
On March 15, 2019, TCS John Huxley America, Inc., TCS John Huxley Europe Ltd., TCS John Huxley Asia Ltd., and Taiwan Fulgent Enterprise Co., Ltd. brought a civil action in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. and South African patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used

2930


those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold to regulated casinos in the United States. On April 10, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ complaint with prejudice. On April 25, 2019, the district court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss without prejudice pursuant to the court’s local rules, after the plaintiffs advised that they intended to file an amended complaint. The plaintiffs filed their amended complaint on May 3, 2019, and on May 22, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint with prejudice. On March 20, 2020, the district court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ amended complaint, and defendants filed an answer to Plaintiffs’ amended complaint on June 19, 2020. On June 3, 2020, the trial court granted the defendants’ request to bifurcate proceedings in the case, with discovery to occur first into the statute of limitations and release defenses asserted by the defendants in their motion to dismiss, before proceeding into broader discovery. The trial court set a September 18, 2020, deadline for the parties to complete discovery relating to the statute of limitations and release defenses. On October 28, 2020, the court issued an order extending until January 15, 2021 the deadline for the parties to complete discovery relating to the statute of limitations defense. On February 9, 2021, the defendants filed a motion for summary judgment on their statute of limitations defense, addressing whether plaintiffs had actual knowledge of their claims prior to the start of the limitations period. The district court denied that motion for summary judgment on September 20, 2021. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Tonkawa Tribe Matter
On September 3, 2020, the Tonkawa Tribe of Indians of Oklahoma d/b/a Tonkawa Enterprises filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada against SGC,L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. On October 5, 2020, the plaintiff filed a first amended complaint to add Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians and the Umpqua Indian Development Corp., d/b/a Seven Feathers Casino as a plaintiff. On October 26, 2020, the plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for card shufflers sold or leased to regulated casinos in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all regulated United States casinos directly leasing or purchasing card shufflers from the defendants on or after April 1, 2009. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expert fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On November 19, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiffs’ second amended complaint or, in the alternative, to compel arbitration of plaintiffs’ claims. On November 20, 2020, Plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment, seeking a finding that defendants are collaterally estopped from re-litigating issues litigated in the 2018 litigation versus Shuffle Tech International Corp., Aces Up Gaming, and Poydras-Talrick Holdings. On August 27, 2021, the Nevada district court entered an order transferring the lawsuit to the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. On May 19, 2022, the Illinois district court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration of plaintiffs’ individual claims; stayed all proceedings in the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitral process; and accordingly dismissed all pending motions without prejudice as moot. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Giuliano and Rancho’s Club Casino Matter
On September 4, 2020, Alfred T. Giuliano, as liquidation trustee for RIH Acquisition NJ, LLC d/b/a The Atlantic Club Casino Hotel filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against SGC,L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. In the complaint, the plaintiffs assert federal antitrust claims arising from the defendants’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The plaintiffs allege that the defendants used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The plaintiffs seek to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the Defendants, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the court to treble, the award of plaintiff’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees, and the award of pre-judgment and post-judgment interest. On September 8, 2020, Rancho’s Club Casino, Inc., d/b/a Magnolia House Casino filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against SGC,L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc.

31


On October 29, 2020, the trial court consolidated the Giuliano and Rancho’s Club Casino matters. On October 30, 2020, the plaintiffs in the consolidated action filed a first amended consolidated complaint. On November 9, 2020, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the plaintiffs’ first amended consolidated complaint, and also filed a motion to compel arbitration of plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano’s individual claims. On May 19, 2022, the Illinois district court granted defendants’ motion to compel arbitration; stayed all proceedings in the lawsuit pending resolution of the arbitral process; and accordingly dismissed all pending motions without prejudice. On May 31, 2022, defendants filed a motion to lift the stay of the lawsuit for the limited purpose of amending the court’s May 19, 2022 order to confirm that plaintiff Alfred T. Giuliano must proceed to arbitration on an individual basis rather than a class-wide basis. We are currently unable to determine the likelihood of an outcome or estimate a range of reasonably possible losses, if any. We believe that the claims in the consolidated lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Casino Queen Matter
On April 2, 2021, Casino Queen, Inc. and Casino Queen Marquette, Inc. filed a putative class action complaint in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois against SGC,L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc.

We believe that the claims in the lawsuit are without merit, and intend to vigorously defend against them.
Mohawk Gaming Enterprises Matter
On November 9, 2020, Mohawk Gaming Enterprises LLC, d/b/a Akwesasne Mohawk Casino Resort, filed a demand for a putative class arbitration before the American Arbitration Association against SGC,L&W, Bally Technologies, Inc. and SG Gaming, f/k/a Bally Gaming, Inc. (“Respondents”). In the complaint, the claimant asserts federal antitrust claims arising from the respondents’ procurement of particular U.S. patents. The claimant alleges that the respondents used those patents to create an allegedly illegal monopoly in the market for automatic card shufflers sold or leased in the United States. The claimant seeks to represent a putative class of all persons and entities that directly purchased or leased automatic card shufflers within the United States from the respondents, or any predecessor, subsidiary, or affiliate thereof, at any time between April 1, 2009, and the present. The complaint seeks unspecified money damages, which the complaint asks the arbitration panel to treble, and the award of claimant’s costs of suit, including attorneys’ fees. Respondents filed their answering statement on December 9, 2020. On October 29, 2021, the claimant filed a memorandum in support of class arbitration, which Respondents opposed on December 3, 2021. On February 8, 2022, the Arbitrator issued a clause construction award, finding that the arbitration could proceed on behalf of a class or classes. On February 11, 2022, Respondents filed a petition to vacate the award in the New York Supreme Court.

Impact of COVID-19
While the COVID-19 pandemic had impacted our operating results during the first half of 2021, the operating results substantially recovered during the second half of 2021 due to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, such as social distancing and mask mandates. We continue to see fluctuations in infection rates and regulations for various regions along with ongoing domestic and international travel restrictions or warnings, social distancing measures, reduced operating capacity and an overall economic and general uncertainty regarding the magnitude and length of time that these disruptions will continue. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted supply chains in numerous industries, causing shortages of inputs/outputs, which in turn put inflationary pressures on the economy as a whole. Inflationary pressures may have an impact on discretionary income as people allocate more of their disposable income toward higher priced necessity goods and services, which could impact our customers. These circumstances may change in the future and such changes could be material.
Foreign Exchange
Our results are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates used in the translation of foreign functional currencies into USD and the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions or balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. Our exposure to foreign currency volatility on revenue is as follows:

Operating Expenses and AEBITDA
Operating expenses for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 increased by $46$56 million and $100$157 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding prior year periods, primarily due to (1) $25$33 million and $56$93 million, respectively, in higher cost of revenue associated with the increase in revenue as described above, (2) $9 million and $17$26 million, respectively, in higher D&A primarily driven by accelerated amortization of legacy trade names, which were partially offset by fully depreciated assets related to prior acquisitions, and (3) $13$9 million and $27$21 million, respectively, in higher SG&A and R&D costs.
For the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year period, AEBITDA increased by $30 million to $202 million and AEBITDA as a percentage of revenue (“AEBITDA margin”) decreased by $15 million and 73 percentage points to $179 million and 46%, respectively, as the prior year period benefited from $38 million revenue due to the VAT recovery as described in the Consolidated Results – Revenue section above.

These results were driven by strong growth in gaming operations, gaming machine sales, systems and table games businesses and were partially offset by the increased costs in the current year period and benefit of $44 million revenue related to the VAT recovery in the nine months ended September 30, 2021, as described above. The decrease in AEBITDA margin was due to the change in revenue mix as gaming machine sales demand continue to recover compared to a higher mix of gaming operations revenue in the prior year periods.

Operating Expenses and AEBITDA
The increase in operating expenses for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 as compared to the prior year periods is primarily correlated with the increase in revenue (as described above) as a result of higher platform fees, higher user acquisitionmarketing spend of $12$15 million and $16$31 million, respectively, and higher salaries and benefits related to an increase in

headcount, coupled with an increase in D&A due to additional amortization associated with intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the Alictus and Koukoifrom recent acquisitions.
AEBITDA for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 decreased as compared to the prior year periods primarily due to higher operating expenses primarily related to user acquisition spend, andcoupled with personnel costs, partially offset by an increase in revenue, as describeddiscussed above. As a result, AEBITDA margin for the three-three and six-monthnine-month periods decreased by 5 and 4 percentage points, respectively.primarily due to higher operating expenses as a result of increased investment in marketing.

This amount decreased from $180 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively.which included discontinued operations. We believe that substantially all cash held outside the U.S. is free from legal encumbrances or similar restrictions that would prevent it from being available to meet our global liquidity needs.
Our Gaming operations generally require significant upfront capital expenditures, and we may need to incur additional capital expenditures in order to retain or increase market share and units footprint. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and other obligations depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. We may also, from time to time, repurchase or otherwise retire or refinance our debt, through our subsidiaries or otherwise. In the event we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities, we may need to raise additional capital. If we do not have adequate liquidity to support these activities, we may be unable to obtain financing for these cash needs on favorable terms or at all. For additional information regarding our cash needs and related risks, see “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A in our 2021 10-K.
On March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which we are authorized to repurchase, from time to time through February 25, 2025, up to an aggregate amount of $750 million of our outstanding common stock over a three-year period.

Changes in working capital accounts, excluding the effects of acquisitions from continuing operations, for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022 were primarily driven by the timing of disbursements, including $465 million in cash taxes paid related to the Lottery Business divestiture, $157 million in costs associated with the strategic review accelerated cash interest payments associated with the April 2022 Refinancing debtand related transactions, higher incentive compensation payout, and higher inventory purchases in order to limit supply chain impacts and support future sale levels.levels, and $25 million paid by SciPlay for the Washington State matter settlement as described in Note 16.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations increased primarily due to acquisitions during the first half ofnine months ended September 30, 2022 and higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are composed of investments in systems, equipment and

in net cash used in investing activities was partially offset by the settlement of our cross-currency interest rate swaps, in which we received approximately $50 million in cash proceeds.proceeds, and $6 million in SciPlay proceeds from matured investments.
Net cash provided by investing activities from discontinued operations increased primarily as a result of the receipt of $5,659$6,409 million in gross cash proceeds from the sale of the Lottery Business,Divestitures, net of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash transferred, during the second quarter ofnine months ended September 30, 2022.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash used by financing activities increased primarily due to the April 2022 Refinancing debt transactions, in which we repaid $6,984 million in senior notes (including redemption premium) and outstanding borrowings under the SGI Term Loan B-5 and received $2,200 million in proceeds from the issuance of the SGI Term Loan B. Additionally, the increase was due to purchases of treasury stock and SciPlay’s common stock, under their respective repurchase programs described above, as well as taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards. During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we purchased $203 million of our common stock and $7$18 million of SciPlay’s common stock. The increase in net cash used by financing activities was partially offset by repayments of $400 million under the SGI Revolver in the prior year period.
Credit Agreement and Other Debt
On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with the principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions (see Note 11).
For additional information regarding our credit agreement and other debt, interest rate risk and interest rate hedging instruments, see Notes 15 and 16 and Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2021 10-K as well as Notes 11 and 12 and Item 3 below in this form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations disclosed under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital — Contractual Obligations” in our 2021 10-K, other than those related to the Alictus acquisition described in Note 1 and the debt pay down and refinancing transactionsApril 2022 Refinancing described in Note 11.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The following are our primary exposures to market risks:
Interest Rate Risk    
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2022, the face value of long-term debt was $3,953$3,947 million, including $2,200$2,195 million of variable-rate obligations. Assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable-rate long term debt, a hypothetical 1% change in interest rates would decrease/increase interest expense by approximately $22 million. All of our interest rate sensitive financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.
In April 2022, we entered into new interest rate swap contracts with $700 million notional amount to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we will pay. The objective of our interest rate swap contracts, which are designated as cash flow hedges of the future interest payments, is to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to the SOFR component of interest expense to be paid on a portion of our variable rate debt.
