Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Basis of Preparation Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements are stated in millions of United States (“U.S.”) dollars (except share and per share data) unless otherwise indicated, and are computed based on the amounts in thousands. Certain amounts in columns and rows within tables may not foot due to rounding. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying unrounded amounts. As further described in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale, on May 10, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Italian B2C gaming machine, sports betting, and digital gaming businesses, which met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation during the fourth quarter of 2020. As a result, the historical financial results are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation, and assets and liabilities were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2020. Recasting of Certain Prior Period Information During the third quarter of 2021, we modified the information that our chief operating decision maker, who was also our Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviewed for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance, prompting a change in management, operating segments, and reporting units. As a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2021, we report our financial performance based on our new business segments described in Note 21 – Segment Information . We have recast our historically presented comparative segment information to conform to the way we internally manage and monitor segment performance as of the third quarter of 2021. This change primarily impacted Note 4 - Revenue Recognition, Note 13 - Goodwill, and Note 21 – Segment Information , with no impact on consolidated revenue, net income, or cash flows. Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent, our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and any variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Earnings or losses attributable to non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are included in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations. Investments in which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not control, and with respect to which we are not the primary beneficiary, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Equity investments in which we have no ability to exercise significant influence that do not have a readily determinable fair value and do not have a Net Asset Value per share are measured at cost, less impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes. Equity method investments and equity investments in which we have no ability to exercise significant influence are included within other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, judgments, and methodologies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates. Revenue We account for a contract with a customer when: we have written approval; the parties are committed to perform their respective obligations; the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified; the contract has commercial substance; and collection of consideration is probable. Performance obligations are identified at contract inception. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products or services that are distinct. If we enter into two or more contracts at or near the same time, the contracts may be combined and accounted for as one contract, in which case we determine whether the services or products in the combined contract are distinct. A service or product that is promised to a customer is distinct if both of the following criteria are met: the customer can benefit from the service or product either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer; and our promise to transfer the service or product to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Revenue is recognized when (or as) control of a promised service or product transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration (which represents the transaction price) to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring that service or product. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount to which we expect to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method. Our contracts may include terms that could cause variability in the consideration, including, for example, rebates, volume discounts, service-level penalties, and performance bonuses or other forms of contingent revenue. Our standard payment terms dictate that payment is due upon receipt of invoice, payable within 30 days. Invoices are generally issued as control transfers and/or as services are rendered. Additionally, in determining the transaction price, we adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the payment terms are not standard and the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract provide the customer or the Company with a significant benefit of financing, in which case the contract contains a significant financing component. Most arrangements that contain a significant financing component include explicit financing terms. We may include subcontractor services or third-party vendor services or products in certain arrangements. In these arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor services or products are recorded net of costs when we are acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when we are the principal for the transaction. To determine whether we are an agent or principal, we consider whether we obtain control of the services or products before they are transferred to the customer. In making this evaluation, several factors are considered, most notably whether we have primary responsibility for fulfillment to the customer, as well as inventory risk and pricing discretion. Additional information on revenue recognition is included in Note 4.- Revenue Recognition. Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations We often enter into contracts that consist of a combination of services and products based on the needs of our customers, which may include post-contract support for the software and a contract for post-warranty maintenance service for the hardware. These contracts consist of multiple services and products, whereby the hardware and software may be delivered in one period and the software support and hardware maintenance services are delivered over time. To the extent that a service or product in an arrangement with multiple performance obligations is subject to other specific accounting guidance, that service or product is accounted for in accordance with such specific guidance. For all other distinct services and products in these arrangements, the arrangement transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis or another method that depicts the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised services or products. If the services and products are not distinct, we determine an appropriate measure of progress based on the nature of our overall promise for the single performance obligation. To the extent we grant the customer the option to acquire additional services or products in one of these arrangements, we account for the option as a distinct performance obligation in the contract only if the option provides a material right to the customer that it would not receive without entering into the contract (i.e., a significant discount incremental to the range of discounts typically given for the service or product), in which case the customer in effect pays in advance for the option to purchase future services or products. We allocate a portion of the transaction price to the material right and recognize revenue when those future services or products are transferred or when the option expires. Standalone Selling Price We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The SSP is the price at which we would sell a promised service or product separately to a customer. In some instances, we are able to establish SSP based on the observable prices of services or products sold separately in comparable circumstances to a similar customer. We typically establish an SSP range for our services and products that are reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. In other instances, we may not be able to establish an SSP range based on observable prices, and we estimate the SSP by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, overall market conditions, including geographic or regional specific factors, competitive positioning, competitor actions, internal costs, profit objectives, and pricing practices. Estimating SSP is a formal process that includes review and approval by management. Contract Costs Certain eligible, non-recurring costs incurred in the initial phases of service contracts are capitalized and amortized ratably over the expected period of benefit, which includes anticipated contract renewals or extensions. Recurring operating costs in these contracts are recognized as incurred. Practical Expedients and Exemptions We report revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. We generally expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract (e.g., sales commissions) when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. For certain of our long-term contracts, recoverable costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected customer relationship period. We do not account for significant financing components if the period between when we transfer the promised service or product to the customer and when the customer pays for that service or product will be one year or less. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) performance obligations for which we recognize revenue at the amount that we have the right to invoice for services performed, (iii) contracts for which variable consideration is accounted for in accordance with sales-based or usage-based royalty guidance, and (iv) wholly unperformed contracts. Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets arise from contracts when revenue is recognized over time and the amount of revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. These amounts are included in contract assets until the right to payment is no longer conditional on events other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities include deferred revenue, advance payments, and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to directors and employees. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date or modification date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting periods. For awards subject to cliff vesting, compensation cost is recognized by way of a straight-line method over the award’s expected vesting period. For awards subject to graded vesting, compensation cost is recognized by way of an accelerated attribution method over the entire awards’ expected vesting periods. Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $33 million, $25 million, and $34 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs (“R&D”), which principally include employee compensation costs, are expensed as incurred. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition, such as bank deposits, money market funds, and interest bearing bank accounts with insignificant interest rate risk. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying amount. Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents We are required by gaming regulations to maintain sufficient reserves in restricted cash accounts to be used for the purpose of funding payments to WAP jackpot winners. These restricted cash balances are based primarily on the jackpot meters displayed to slot players, or for previously won jackpots, and vary by jurisdiction. Under our Italian Lotto contract, we deposit wagers, net of prizes paid and retailer commissions retained by the retailer at point of sale, into bank accounts, the use of which is restricted based on the contract with our customer. Restricted cash is also maintained for interactive digital player deposits, collections on factored and serviced receivables not yet paid through to the third-party owner, and for customer funds received in relation to the provision of our commercial services. These amounts are restricted based on the contracts with our customers or local regulations. Allowance for Credit Losses We maintain an allowance for credit losses on receivables resulting from the expected failure or inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance is regularly reviewed by considering factors such as the creditworthiness of our customers, historical experience, aging of receivables, and current market and economic conditions, as well as management’s expectations of future conditions when appropriate. The allowance is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected. We estimate expected credit losses on receivables on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Trade and other receivables and customer financing receivables represent the initial pools which are segregated further by business segment, geography, internal risk rating, and aging. The risk of loss is assessed over the contractual life of the receivables and we adjust historical loss rates for current and future conditions based on qualitative considerations. The expected loss rate for each receivable pool is applied to the aggregate receivable balance to determine the allowance requirement. Receivables are written off against the allowance in the period they are determined to be uncollectible. We determine delinquency based on the contractual payment terms. An account may be considered delinquent if there are unpaid balances remaining on the account the day after the contractual due date. For amounts due from certain government customers in the Global Lottery business segment, we have not established an allowance as we have no expectation of loss based on a long history of no credit losses and the explicit guarantee of a sovereign entity. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (applying the first in, first out method) and net realizable value. Allowances are made for defective, obsolete, or excess inventory. Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale We classify assets and liabilities (disposal groups) to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group; the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject to terms customary for sales of such disposal groups; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group have been initiated; the sale of the disposal group is probable, and transfer of the disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We initially measure a disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. We assess the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and report any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the disposal group at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, we report the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet in each period presented. Refer to Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale , for further information. Systems, Equipment and Other Assets Related to Contracts, Net and Property, Plant and Equipment, Net We have two categories of fixed assets: systems, equipment and other assets related to contracts (“Systems & Equipment”) and property, plant and equipment (“PPE”). Systems & Equipment are assets that primarily support our operating contracts, FMCs, and WAP systems (collectively, the “Contracts”) and are principally composed of lottery and gaming assets, including those that are accounted for as operating leases with our customers. PPE are assets we use internally, not associated with Contracts, primarily related to production and assembly, selling, general and administration, and R&D. Systems & Equipment and PPE are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Costs incurred for Systems & Equipment and PPE not yet placed into service are classified as construction in progress and are not depreciated until placed in service. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, whereas major improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized. Systems & Equipment and PPE are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted forecasted cash flows resulting from the use and eventual disposition of such asset. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value. Goodwill The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses, and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill has been allocated to and is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is the same level as our operating segments. We evaluate our reporting units annually and if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value approach. As of December 31, 2021 we have identified three reporting units: Global Lottery, Global Gaming, and Digital & Betting. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. In performing the goodwill impairment test, we estimate the fair value of the reporting units using an income approach based on projected discounted cash flows. We have the option to first assess various qualitative factors (commonly referred to as “Step 0”) to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying amount and whether a quantitative analysis is necessary. If the Company does not elect to perform Step 0, it can voluntarily proceed directly to Step 1. In Step 1, the Company performs a quantitative analysis to compare the fair value of its reporting unit to its carrying value including goodwill. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired, and the Company is not required to perform further testing. If the carrying value of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, then the Company would record an impairment loss equal to the difference. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets, which include indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are composed of trademarks for which there is no foreseeable limit of the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows. Definite-lived intangible assets, which are primarily composed of customer relationships and computer software and game library, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. Estimated useful lives are determined considering the period the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. Amortization of software-related intangibles is included in cost of services and cost of product sales and amortization of other intangible assets is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations. Indefinite-lived intangible assets other than goodwill are tested for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. We first perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets are less than their carrying amount and whether the quantitative analysis is necessary. The quantitative analysis compares the fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets to their carrying amount and an impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. Capitalized Software Development Costs Costs incurred in the development of our externally-sold software products are expensed as incurred, except certain software development costs eligible for capitalization. Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility and through the general release of the software products are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over the products’ estimated economic life to cost of product sales in the consolidated statements of operations. Costs incurred during the application development phase of software for services provided to customers are capitalized as internal-use software and amortized over the useful life to cost of services in the consolidated statements of operations. Costs incurred during the application development of software for internal use, and not for use in services provided to customers, are capitalized and amortized over the useful life to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Upfront License Fees We periodically make long-term investments in contracts with customers and obtain licenses to supply products and services to our customers. As consideration, we pay license fees, which are classified as other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. We recognize the amortization of the license fees as a reduction of service revenue over the estimated economic life of the license term. This method reflects the pattern in which economic benefits are expected to be realized. The recoverability of each payment is subject to significant estimates about future revenues related to the contracts’ future cash flows. We evaluate these assets for impairment and update amortization rates on an agreement by agreement basis. The assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In periods in which payments are made to the customer, we classify the payment as a cash outflow from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. Jackpot Accounting We incur costs to fund jackpots and accrue jackpot liabilities with every wager on devices connected to a WAP system. Jackpot liabilities are estimated based on the size of the jackpot, the number of WAP units in service, variations and volume of play, and interest rate movements. Jackpots are generally payable to winners immediately, in the case of instant wins, or in equal annual installments over 19 to 25 years. Winners may elect to receive a lump sum payment for the present value of the jackpot discounted at applicable interest rates in lieu of periodic annual installments. Jackpot liabilities are composed of payments due to previous winners, and amounts due to future winners of jackpots not yet won. Liabilities due to previous winners for periodic payments are carried at the accreted cost of a qualifying U.S. government or agency annuity investment that may be purchased at the time of the jackpot win. If the periodic liability is not initially funded with an annuity investment, it is discounted and accreted using the risk-free rate at the time of the jackpot win. Liabilities due to future winners are recorded at the present value of the estimated amount of jackpots not yet won. We estimate the present value of these liabilities using current market rates, weighted with historical lump sum payout election ratios. Based on the most recent historical patterns, approximately 95% of winners will elect the lump sum payment option. The current portion of these liabilities are estimated based on historical experience with winner payment elections, in conjunction with the theoretical projected number of jackpots. Legal and Other Contingencies Loss contingency provisions arising from a legal proceeding or claim are recorded for probable and estimable losses at the best estimate of a loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, at the minimum estimated loss, the determination of which requires significant judgment. If it is reasonably possible but not probable that a liability has been incurred, or if the amount of a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the amount or range of estimated loss is disclosed, if material. We evaluate our provisions for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new provisions or adjust existing provisions to reflect the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings, and other relevant events and developments, the advice of counsel, and the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Treasury Stock We account for treasury stock acquisitions using the cost method. We account for the retirement of treasury stock by deducting its par value from common stock and reflecting any excess of cost over par value as a deduction from additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets. Fair Value Measurements We account for certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are categorized, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the use of observable inputs and the lowest priority to the use of unobservable inputs. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These levels are as follows: • Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets • Level 2 - inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the instruments • Level 3 - inputs are unobservable and typically reflect management’s estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability Derivative Financial Instruments We use derivative financial instruments for the management of foreign currency risks and interest rate risks. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. All derivatives are recorded gross, except netting of foreign exchange contracts and counterparty netting of interest receivable and payable related to interest rate swaps, as applicable. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the nature of the hedge and the hedge effectiveness. Derivative gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows consistent with the classification of the cash flows from the underlying hedged items. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, gains and losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified when the hedged item affects earnings. At that time, the amount is reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to the same income statement line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, changes in fair value are recorded in interest expense and are offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying debt instrument due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. In the event the derivative instruments are subsequently de-designated as hedges, the change in fair value is recognized in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations with no corresponding offset to debt. For derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges, the spot portion of the derivative gain or loss is reported in foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income (loss) to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net investment in the subsidiary until the net investment is sold or liquidated, at which point the amounts are reclassified to earnings. All other components of the derivative fair value will be reported as either interest income or interest expense, on an amortized basis. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded in foreign exchange (

Under operating contracts, we manage all the activities along the lottery value chain including collecting wagers, paying out prizes, managing all accounting and other back-office functions, running advertising and promotions, operating data transmission networks and processing centers, training staff, providing retailers with assistance, and supplying materials for the game. In most cases, the arrangement is accounted for as a single performance obligation composed of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). Under operating contracts, we typically satisfy the performance obligation and recognize revenue over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as we perform the services. The amount of consideration to which we are typically entitled is variable based on a percentage of sales. Revenue is typically recognized in the amount that we have the right to invoice the customer as this corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our performance completed to date. In arrangements where we are performing services on behalf of the government and the government is considered our customer, revenue is recognized net of prize payments, taxes, retailer commissions, and remittances to state authorities. Under operating contracts, we are generally required to pay an upfront license fee. Refer to the Upfront License Fees policy above for further details. Our revenue from facilities management contracts (“FMC”) is generated by assembling, installing, and operating the online lottery system and related point-of-sale equipment. Under a typical FMC, we maintain ownership of the technology and are responsible for capital investments throughout the duration of the contract. FMCs typically include a wide range of support services that are provided throughout the contract and are part of the integrated solution that the customer has contracted to obtain. In most cases, the arrangement is accounted for as a single performance obligation composed of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer. Under FMCs, we typically satisfy the performance obligation and recognize revenue over time because the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided as we perform the services. The amount of transaction price to which we are entitled is typically variable based on a percentage of sales, although under certain of its agreements, the Company receives fees based on a fixed fee arrangement. Revenue is typically recognized in the amount that we have the right to invoice the customer, as this corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our completed performance. Gaming terminal services – Global Gaming Our revenue from gaming terminal services is generated by providing customers with proprietary land-based gaming systems and equipment under a variety of recurring revenue or lease arrangements, including a percentage of amounts wagered, a percentage of net win, or a fixed daily/monthly fee. Included in gaming terminal services are wide area progressive (“WAP”) systems. WAP systems consist of linked slot machines located in multiple casino properties, connected to a central computer system. WAP systems include a Company-sponsored progressive jackpot that increases with every wager until a player wins the top award combination. Casinos with WAP machines pay a percentage of amounts wagered for services related to the design, assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, and marketing of the WAP systems, as well as funding and administration of Company-sponsored progressive jackpots. A portion of the total fee collected is allocated to the WAP jackpot. Since the jackpot is a payment to the customer, the portion allocated to the jackpot is classified as a reduction of revenue. In some arrangements, there is a single performance obligation composed of a series of distinct services that are substantially the same and that have the same pattern of transfer (i.e., distinct days of service). The amount of transaction price to which we are entitled typically is variable based on a percentage of wagers. This results in revenue recognition that corresponds with the value to the customer for the services transferred in the amount that we have the right to invoice. In other arrangements where the end customer is the player, we record revenue net of prize payouts once the wagering outcome has been determined. Digital and betting services – Digital & Betting We generate revenue from our iGaming solutions by providing gaming operators a license to offer IGT remote game server games on the operator websites and mobile applications. We typically offer customers a usage-based license under which we receive a fee based on the net gaming revenue derived by the operator attributable to the IGT remote game server games. Revenue is typically recognized when the usage occurs. We provide sports betting technology and services to commercial and tribal operators and lotteries in regulated markets, primarily in the U.S. In the service contracts to our U.S. licensed sportsbook operators, we host a sports betting platform and a variety of services including installation, configuration and integration services. For customers who want to have an outsourcing model, we also offer trading services with the inclusion of odds setting and risk management. Under these contracts, we generally record a percentage of net sports revenue over the contractual term. Systems, software, and other – Global Lottery Our lottery contracts generally include other services, including telephone support, software maintenance, hardware maintenance, and the right to receive unspecified upgrades or enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis, and other professional services including software development. Fees earned for other services are generally recognized as service revenue in the period the service is performed (i.e., over the support period). We also develop technology to enable lotteries to offer commercial services over their existing lottery infrastructure or over standalone networks separate from the lottery. Leveraging our distribution network and secure transaction processing, we offer high-volume processing of commercial transactions including prepaid cellular telephone recharges, bill payments, e-vouchers and retail-based programs, electronic tax payments, stamp duty services, prepaid card recharges, and money transfers. These services are primarily offered outside of North America. In most cases, these arrangements are considered to be short in duration. The amount of transaction price that we are typically entitled to is variable based on the number of transactions processed. Revenue is typically recognized in the amount that we have the right to invoice the customer as this corresponds directly with the value to the customer of our completed performance. Systems, software, and other – Global Gaming Our gaming contracts generally include other services, including telephone support, software maintenance, content licensing, royalty fees, hardware maintenance, and the right to receive unspecified updates or enhancements on a when-and-if-available basis, and other professional services. We also generate revenue from other services, including video central system monitoring, system support, and sales or usage-based licensing of intellectual property. Fees earned for other services are generally recognized as service revenue in the period the service is performed (i.e., over the support period). Product Sales Product sales are derived from the following sources: • Lottery products; • Gaming terminals; and • Other Lottery products – Global Lottery Lottery products revenue primarily includes the sale of lottery equipment, lottery systems and printed products. Our revenue from the sale or sales-type lease of lottery systems and equipment typically includes multiple performance obligations, where we assemble, sell, deliver, and install a turnkey system (inclusive of point-of-sale terminals, if applicable) or deliver equipment and license the computer software for a fixed price, and the customer subsequently operates the system or equipment. Our credit terms are predominantly short-term in nature. We also grant extended payment terms under contracts where the sale is typically secured by the related equipment sold. Revenue from the sale of lottery systems and equipment is recognized based upon the contractual terms of each arrangement. These arrangements generally include customer acceptance provisions and general rights to terminate the contract if we are in breach of the contract or at the convenience of the customer. In these arrangements, the performance obligation is satisfied over time if the customer controls the asset as it is created (i.e., when the asset is built at the customer site) or if our performance does not create an asset with an alternative use and we have an enforceable right to payment plus a reasonable profit for performance completed to date. If revenue is not recognized over time, it is generally recognized upon transfer of physical possession of the goods or the satisfaction of customer acceptance provisions. If the transaction includes multiple performance obligations, it is accounted for under arrangements with multiple performance obligations, discussed below. Our other lottery product sales are primarily derived from the production and sales of instant ticket games under multi-year contracts. In these arrangements, the performance obligation is generally satisfied at a point in time (i.e., upon transfer of control of the game tickets to the customer) based on the contractual terms of each arrangement. Gaming terminals – Global Gaming Our revenue from the sale or sales-type lease of gaming terminals includes embedded game content, machine related equipment, licensing and royalty fees, and component parts. Our credit terms are predominantly short-term in nature. We also grant extended payment terms under contracts where the sale is typically secured by the related equipment sold. Revenue from the sale of gaming machines is recognized based upon the contractual terms of each arrangement, but predominantly upon transfer of physical possession of the goods or the lapse of customer acceptance provisions. If the sale of gaming machines includes multiple performance obligations, these arrangements are accounted for under arrangements with multiple performance obligations, discussed below. Other – Global Gaming Other gaming product revenue is primarily comprised of gaming system sales, content licensing, perpetual or long-term software licenses, non-machine related equipment and component parts (including game themes and electronic conversion kits). Our revenue from the sale of gaming systems typically includes multiple performance obligations, where we sell, deliver, and install a turnkey system or deliver equipment and license the computer software for a fixed price, and the customer subsequently operates the system. These arrangements generally include customer acceptance provisions and general rights to terminate the contract if we are in breach of the contract. Such arrangements include hardware, software, and professional services. In these arrangements, the performance obligation is generally satisfied upon transfer of physical possession of the goods or the satisfaction of customer acceptance provisions. Other – Digital & Betting Other digital and betting product revenue is primarily comprised of perpetual software licenses, the sale of equipment, and component parts. Contract Balances Information about contract assets and contract liabilities is as follows: ($ in millions) December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Balance Sheet Classification Contract assets: Current 49 53 Other current assets Non-current 69 75 Other non-current assets 118 128 Contract liabilities: Current (104) (108) Other current liabilities Non-current (47) (62) Other non-current liabilities (151) (170) The amount of revenue recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at the beginning of each period was $107 million, $56 million, and $51 million, respectively . Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations At December 31, 2021, the transaction price allocated to unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts expected to be greater than one year, or performance obligations for which we do not have a right to consideration from the customer in the amount that corresponds to the value to the customer for our performance completed to date, variable consideration which is not accounted for in accordance with the sales-based or usage-based royalties guidance, or contracts which are not wholly unperformed, is approximately $1.1 billion. Of this amount, we expect to recognize as revenue approximately 28% within the next 12 months, approximately 34% between 13 and 36 months, approximately 22% between 37 and 60 months, and the remaining balance through December 31, 2031.

We enter into various factoring agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell certain of our trade receivables. We factored trade receivables of $1.1 billion and $1.5 billion during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, under these factoring arrangements, which reduced trade receivables. The cash received from these arrangements is reflected in net cash provided by operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In certain of these factoring arrangements, for ease of administration, we will collect customer payments related to the factored trade receivables, which we then remit to the financial institutions. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $57 million and $110 million, respectively, that was collected on behalf of the financial institutions and recorded as restricted cash and cash equivalents and other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The net cash flows relating to these collections are reported in net cash used in financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The sale resulted in a pre-tax gain of €26 million ($29 million at the May 31, 2019 exchange rate), which is classified in other expense (income), net on the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. Customer Financing Receivables Customers' payment terms for customer financing receivables are confirmed with a written financing contract, lease contract, or promissory note and a security agreement is typically signed by the parties granting the Company a security interest in the related products sold or leased. Customer financing interest income is recognized based on market rates prevailing at issuance.

The Company’s customer financing receivable portfolio is composed of customers primarily within the Global Gaming business segment. We internally assess the credit quality of customer financing receivables using a number of factors, including, but not limited to, credit scores obtained from external providers, trade references, bank references, and historical experience. Risk profiles differ based on customer location and are pooled as North America, Latin America and the Caribbean (“LAC”), and Europe, Middle East and Africa and Asia Pacific (“EMEA & APAC”). In 2021, we combined the EMEA & APAC regions as these customers have similar credit risk profiles and we apply the same expected loss rates when determining the allowance requirement. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, customer financing receivables, primarily within LAC, of $8 million and $24 million, respectively, were written off as uncollectible due to the impacts of COVID-19. Additionally, due to the extended duration of the COVID-19 induced shutdowns in LAC and potential future impacts on our customers caused by COVID-19, we renegotiated payment plans to accommodate for the shutdowns and adjusted expected loss rates, increasing our allowance for credit losses during the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, we had $58 million and $43 million, respectively, of credit loss allowances associated with the LAC customer financing receivables.

Goodwill	Goodwill As discussed in Note 21 – Segment Information , we established a dedicated Digital & Betting business segment, comprising our iGaming and sports betting activities that were previously included within our Global Gaming business segment. As a result, at September 1, 2021, we allocated a portion of goodwill associated with our Global Gaming reporting unit to the Digital & Betting reporting unit using a relative fair value approach. The goodwill allocated to the Global Gaming and Digital & Betting reporting units was $1.4 billion and $265 million, respectively, and the estimated fair values were determined to exceed the carrying values of each reporting unit, which indicated no impairment existed. In addition, we completed an assessment for any potential goodwill impairment for the former Global Gaming reporting unit immediately prior to the reallocation and determined that no impairment existed. During 2020, we adopted a new organizational structure focused on two business segments: Global Lottery and Global Gaming. As a result of the change in reporting units, at July 1, 2020, we allocated goodwill to our new reporting units using a relative fair value approach. The goodwill allocated to the new Global Lottery and Global Gaming reporting units was $2.9 billion and $2.2 billion, respectively, and the estimated fair values were determined to exceed the carrying values, which indicated no impairment existed. In addition, we completed an assessment for any potential goodwill impairment for all the former reporting units immediately prior to the reallocation and determined that no impairment existed. Additionally, in connection with the sale of its Italian B2C gaming machine, sports betting, and digital gaming businesses, the Company allocated $520 million of goodwill to discontinued operations using a relative fair value approach. Prior to the allocation to discontinued operations, the goodwill was included within our Global Gaming segment. Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill consist of the following: Reporting Units Prior to July 1, 2020 Reporting Units Subsequent to September 1, 2021 (1) ($ in millions) North America Gaming and Interactive North America Lottery International Italy Global Lottery Global Gaming Digital & Betting Discontinued Operations Total Balance at December 31, 2019 1,440 1,222 1,308 1,482 — — — (520) 4,931 Impairment (103) — (193) — — — — — (296) Segment realignment (1,337) (1,222) (1,113) (1,480) 2,942 2,209 — — — Foreign currency translation — — (2) (2) 55 28 — — 78 Discontinued operations — — — — — (520) — 520 — Balance at December 31, 2020 — — — — 2,997 1,716 — — 4,713 Segment realignment — — — — — (265) 265 — — Foreign currency translation — — — — (49) (5) (3) — (58) Balance at December 31, 2021 — — — — 2,948 1,446 261 — 4,656 (1) From July 1, 2020 to August 31, 2021, we operated under only two business segments: Global Lottery and Global Gaming. Total goodwill at December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019 is net of $1.3 billion, $1.3 billion, and $1.1 billion, respectively, of accumulated impairment losses primarily arising from the former North America Gaming and Interactive and International segments of $817 million and $526 million in both 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $714 million and $333 million in 2019, respectively. Impairment During the first quarter of 2020, we determined there was an interim goodwill impairment triggering event caused by COVID-19. As a result of the identified triggering event, we estimated the fair value of each of our former reporting units using an income approach based on projected discounted cash flows. Based principally on lower forecasted revenue and operating profits caused by lower demand for our commercial gaming products, we recorded a $296 million non-cash impairment loss with no income tax benefit, of which $193 million and $103 million was recorded within our former International and North America Gaming reporting units, respectively, to reduce the carrying amount of the reporting units to fair value.

The Company recorded a €9 million ($10 million) loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the repurchase, which is classified in other expense (income), net on the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2019. Euro Term Loan Facilities The Parent is a party to a Senior Facility Agreement dated July 25, 2017, as amended (the “TLF Agreement”), which provided for a €1.5 billion term loan facility maturing on January 25, 2023 that was repayable in annual installments of €320 million due January 25 of each of 2020, 2021 and 2022 with a final installment of €540 million due January 25, 2023. The Parent prepaid the installment due January 25, 2020 with proceeds of the 2.375% Notes issued in September 2019 and repaid the installment due January 25, 2021 at the due date. In May 2020, the Company entered into an amendment to the TLF Agreement which modified the TLF Agreement by, among other things: • Providing a waiver of the covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum ratio of EBITDA to net interest costs and a maximum ratio of total net debt to EBITDA from the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 and established new thresholds for these financial covenants starting with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 as described in the amendments; • Providing that the obligation to grant security over additional collateral be waived provided that the public debt ratings of the Company are not less than BB- or Ba3; • Increasing the margin from 2.75% to 3.25% if the public debt ratings of the Company are B+ or B1 (or lower); and • Prohibiting restricted payments (including dividends and ordinary share repurchases) during the period commencing on April 1, 2020 and expiring on June 30, 2021, and permitting restricted payments during the period commencing on July 1, 2021 and expiring on the maturity date of the respective agreements provided that the ratio of total net debt to EBITDA as adjusted to reflect the restricted payment is less than specified thresholds. In addition, the amendment to the TLF Agreement provided that the margin applicable to all loans under the TLF Agreement outstanding as of April 11, 2020 was increased to 2.50%. In July 2021, the Parent entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “Amendment and Restatement Agreement”) with respect to the TLF Agreement. The Amendment and Restatement Agreement among other things: (i) added a second term loan facility with IGT Lottery Holdings B.V. as the borrower, (ii) increased the aggregate amount of the term loan facilities (the “Euro Term Loan Facilities”) from €860 million to €1.0 billion (with each of the Parent and IGT Lottery Holdings B.V. borrowing €500 million), (iii) extended the maturity date of the Euro Term Loan Facilities to January 25, 2027, (iv) reduced the applicable interest rate by 35 basis points based on current debt ratings, (v) provided for a maximum decrease or increase of an additional 7.5 basis points in the margin based on environmental, social and governance factors, and (vi) maintained and extended existing financial covenant thresholds. As a result of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the Company reclassified the €320 million current portion of long-term debt to long-term debt. The borrowers must repay the Euro Term Loan Facilities in installments, as detailed below: Due Date Amount January 25, 2024 200 January 25, 2025 200 January 25, 2026 200 January 25, 2027 400 We recorded a $2 million loss on extinguishment of debt in connection with the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, which is classified in other expense (income), net in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2021. In September 2021, the Company received an upgraded environmental, social, and governance rating and pursuant to the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, the interest rate was decreased by 4 basis points effective September 17, 2021. Interest on the Euro Term Loan Facilities is payable between one six The Euro Term Loan Facilities are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Parent and are secured by ownership interests in certain subsidiaries of the Parent, certain intercompany loans with principal balances in excess of $10 million and certain accounts receivable. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the borrowers may be required to prepay the Euro Term Loan Facilities in full. The TLF Agreement, as amended by the Amendment and Restatement Agreement, contains customary covenants (including maintaining a minimum ratio of EBITDA to net interest costs and maximum ratio of total net debt to EBITDA) and events of default. At December 31, 2021, the Parent was in compliance with the covenants. Revolving Credit Facilities The Parent and certain of its subsidiaries are party to a Senior Facilities Agreement dated November 4, 2014, as amended (the “RCF Agreement”), which provides for the following multi-currency revolving credit facilities (the “Revolving Credit Facilities”) which mature on July 31, 2024: Maximum Amount Facility Borrowers $1,050 Revolving Credit Facility A Parent, IGT, and IGT Global Solutions Corporation €625 Revolving Credit Facility B Parent, IGT Lottery S.p.A. (formerly Lottomatica Holding S.r.l), and IGT Lottery Holdings B.V. Interest on the Revolving Credit Facilities is payable between one and six months in arrears at rates equal to the applicable LIBOR (or the applicable EURIBOR if the borrower elects to borrow in Euros) with respect to Revolving Credit Facility A or the applicable EURIBOR (or the applicable LIBOR if the borrower elects to borrow in U.S. dollars) with respect to Revolving Credit Facility B, plus a margin based on the Parent’s long-term ratings by Moody’s and S&P. At December 31, 2021 and 2020, there were no balances for the Revolving Credit Facilities. The RCF Agreement provides that the following fees, which are recorded in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations, are payable quarterly in arrears: • Commitment fees - payable on the aggregate undrawn and un-cancelled amount of the Revolving Credit Facilities depending on the Parent’s long-term ratings by Moody’s and S&P. The applicable rate was 0.928% at December 31, 2021. • Utilization fees - payable on the aggregate drawn amount of the Revolving Credit Facilities at a rate ranging from 0.15% to 0.60% dependent on the percentage of the Revolving Credit Facilities utilized. The applicable rate was 0.15% at December 31, 2021. The Revolving Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the Parent and certain of its subsidiaries and are secured by ownership interests in certain subsidiaries and of the Parent, certain intercompany loans with principal balances in excess of $10 million and certain accounts receivable. Upon the occurrence of certain events, the borrowers may be required to repay the Revolving Credit Facilities and the lenders may have the right to cancel their commitments. At December 31, 2021 the aggregate amounts available to be borrowed under the Revolving Credit Facilities were $1.7 billion. The RCF Agreement contains customary covenants (including maintaining a minimum ratio of EBITDA to net interest costs and a maximum ratio of total net debt to EBITDA) and events of default. At December 31, 2021, the borrowers were in compliance with the covenants. In May 2020, the Parent entered into an amendment to the RCF Agreement, which modified the RCF Agreement by, among other things: • Providing a waiver of the covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum ratio of EBITDA to net interest costs and a maximum ratio of total net debt to EBITDA from the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2020 through the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 and established new thresholds for these financial covenants starting with the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021 as described in the amendments; • Providing that the obligation to grant security over additional collateral be waived provided that the public debt ratings of the Company are not less than BB- or Ba3; • Increasing the margin from 2.75% to 3.25% if the public debt ratings of the Company are B+ or B1 (or lower); and • Prohibiting restricted payments (including dividends and ordinary share repurchases) during the period commencing on April 1, 2020 and expiring on June 30, 2021, and permitting restricted payments during the period commencing on July 1, 2021 and expiring on the maturity date of the respective agreements provided that the ratio of total net debt to EBITDA as adjusted to reflect the restricted payment is less than specified thresholds. In addition, the amendment to the RCF Agreement provided that the margin applicable to all loans under the RCF Agreement outstanding as of April 11, 2020 was increased to 2.475%. The TLF Agreement and the RCF Agreement limit the aggregate amount that the Parent can pay with respect to dividends and repurchases of ordinary shares in each year to $300 million if our debt ratings by Moody’s or S&P are lower than Ba1 or BB+, respectively, and $400 million if our debt ratings by Moody’s and S&P are equal to or higher than Ba1 and BB+, respectively. Other Credit Facilities The Parent and certain of its subsidiaries may borrow under senior unsecured uncommitted demand credit facilities made available by several financial institutions. At December 31, 2021, there were $30 million of short-term borrowings under these facilities with an effective interest rate of 1.63%. At December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings under these facilities. Additionally, at December 31, 2021, the Company had a $21 million swingline loan associated with the Revolving Credit Facilities with an effective interest rate of 3.25%, which is classified in short-term borrowings. Letters of Credit The Parent and certain of its subsidiaries may obtain letters of credit under the Revolving Credit Facilities and under senior unsecured uncommitted demand credit facilities. The letters of credit secure various obligations, including obligations arising under customer contracts and real estate leases. The following table summarizes the letters of credit outstanding at December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the weighted-average annual cost of such letters of credit: ($ in millions) Letters of Credit Outstanding (1) Weighted- December 31, 2021 335 1.08 % December 31, 2020 427 1.06 % (1) Represents letters of credit outstanding not under the Revolving Credit Facilities.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes The components of income (loss) from continuing operations before provision for income taxes, determined by tax jurisdiction, are as follows: For the year ended December 31, ($ in millions) 2021 2020 2019 United Kingdom 40 (355) 35 United States (20) (776) (301) Italy 438 229 351 Other 70 55 43 529 (848) 128 The provision for income taxes consists of: For the year ended December 31, ($ in millions) 2021 2020 2019 Current: United Kingdom — (1) 2 United States 41 10 46 Italy 155 66 104 Other 40 31 49 236 106 202 Deferred: United States 76 (62) (69) Italy (22) (1) 1 Other (16) (16) (3) 38 (78) (71) 274 28 131 Income taxes paid, net of refunds, were $188 million, $89 million, and $197 million in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. The Parent is a tax resident in the United Kingdom (the “U.K.”). A reconciliation of the provision for income taxes, from the amount computed by applying the U.K. statutory main corporation tax rates enacted in each of the Parent’s calendar year reporting periods to income (loss) from continuing operations before provision for income taxes is as follows: For the year ended December 31, ($ in millions) 2021 2020 2019 Income (loss) from continuing operations before provision for income taxes 529 (848) 128 United Kingdom statutory tax rate 19.0 % 19.0 % 19.0 % Statutory tax expense (benefit) 100 (161) 24 Change in valuation allowances 125 128 1 Italy regional tax (“IRAP”) and state taxes 41 9 23 Non-deductible expenses 25 2 2 Base erosion and anti-abuse (“BEAT”) tax 17 13 31 Foreign tax and statutory rate differential (1) 17 (14) 3 Foreign tax expense, net of U.S. federal benefit 11 10 14 Provision to return 6 — — GILTI tax 5 3 5 Non-deductible goodwill impairment — 56 19 Change in unrecognized tax benefits — 1 7 Non-taxable gains on investments — — (6) Italian allowance for corporate equity (3) (4) (2) Non-taxable foreign exchange gain (11) — (4) Italian patent box tax benefit (27) — — Tax law changes (38) (20) — Other 5 4 15 274 28 131 Effective tax rate 51.8 % (3.3) % 102.1 % (1) Includes the effects of foreign subsidiaries’ earnings taxed at rates other than the U.K. statutory rate On March 27, 2020, the U.S. government enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”) to provide certain relief related to the COVID-19 outbreak. Some of the key tax-related provisions of the CARES Act benefiting the Company include temporary five-year net operating loss carryback provisions, modifications to the 30% limitation on the deductibility of business interest, and payroll tax deferral. In the quarter ended September 30, 2020, the U.S. Treasury Department issued final regulations regarding GILTI. The Company has elected the GILTI high tax exception as allowed by the final regulations and has amended its 2018 and 2019 income tax returns. The benefit of the GILTI high tax exception as well as the NOL carryback provisions provided in the CARES Act resulted in a tax benefit of $12 million. The components of deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows: December 31, ($ in millions) 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets: Net operating losses 286 300 Section 163(j) interest limitation 190 155 Italian goodwill tax step-up 119 — Provisions not currently deductible for tax purposes 85 88 Lease liabilities 66 70 Jackpot timing differences 30 39 Depreciation and amortization 29 26 Inventory reserves 10 2 Other 63 47 Gross deferred tax assets 878 728 Valuation allowance (412) (284) Deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowance 466 444 Deferred tax liabilities: Acquired intangible assets 462 506 Depreciation and amortization 163 161 Italian goodwill equity reserve liability 105 — Lease right-of-use assets 60 65 Other 6 12 Total deferred tax liabilities 795 744 Net deferred income tax liability (329) (300) Our net deferred income taxes are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as follows: December 31, ($ in millions) 2021 2020 Deferred income taxes - non-current asset 39 33 Deferred income taxes - non-current liability (368) (333) (329) (300) Net Operating Loss Carryforwards We have a $1.1 billion gross tax loss carryforward, of which $631 million relates to the U.K., $137 million relates to U.S. Federal, and $339 million relates to other foreign tax jurisdictions. Carryforwards in certain tax jurisdictions begin to expire in 2031, while others have an unlimited carryforward period. A valuation allowance has been provided on $910 million of the gross net operating loss carryforwards. Portions of the tax loss carryforwards are subject to annual limitations in most of our significant tax jurisdictions, including the U.K. and U.S. In addition, as of December 31, 2021, we had U.S. state tax net operating loss carryforwards, resulting in a deferred tax asset (net of U.S. federal tax benefit) of approximately $13 million. U.S. state tax net operating loss carryforwards generally expire in the years 2027 through 2040. Valuation Allowance A reconciliation of the valuation allowance is as follows: December 31, ($ in millions) 2021 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of year 284 156 171 Net charges to expense 86 120 1 Tax rate change 39 8 — Provision to return adjustment 3 — — Expiration of tax attributes — — (15) Balance at end of year 412 284 156 The valuation allowance primarily relates to U.K. and foreign net operating losses and the section 163(j) business interest expense limitation carryforward that are not more likely than not expected to be realized. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, we considered both positive and negative evidence for each jurisdiction including past operating results, estimates of future taxable income, and the feasibility of tax planning strategies. When we change our determination as to the amount of deferred tax assets that can be realized, the valuation allowance is adjusted with a corresponding impact to the provision for income taxes in the period in which such determination is made. Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes A reconciliation of the unrecognized tax benefits is as follows: December 31, ($ in millions) 2021 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of year 27 29 27 Additions to tax positions - current year 1 — 1 Additions to tax positions - prior years — — 2 Reductions to tax positions - prior years (1) (2) — Lapses in statutes of limitations — (1) (1) Balance at end of year 27 27 29 At December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, $27 million, $27 million, and $29 million, respectively, of the unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, would affect our effective tax rates. We recognize interest and penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense. The charges were nominal for 2021 and 2020. In 2019, we recognized $5 million in interest expense, penalties, and inflationary adjustments. The gross balance of accrued interest and penalties was $21 million at December 31, 2021 and 2020. We file income tax returns in various jurisdictions of which the United Kingdom, United States, and Italy represent the major tax jurisdictions. All years prior to 2017 are closed with the Internal Revenue Service. As of December 31, 2021, we are subject to income tax audits in various tax jurisdictions globally, most significantly in Mexico and Italy. Mexico Tax Audit Based on a 2006 tax examination, the Company’s Mexican subsidiary, GTECH Mexico S.A. de C.V., was issued an income tax assessment of approximately Mexican peso (“MXN”) 425 million. The assessment relates to the denial of a deduction for cost of goods sold and the taxation of intercompany loan proceeds. The Company has unsuccessfully contested the two issues in the Mexican court system receiving unfavorable decisions by the Mexican Supreme Court in June 2017 and October 2019, respectively. As of December 31, 2021, based on the unfavorable decisions received, the Company has recorded a liability of MXN 469 million (approximately $23 million), inclusive of additional interest, penalties, and inflationary adjustments, which is reported within other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. Italy Tax Audits The Company’s Italian corporate income tax returns for the calendar years ended December 31, 2015 through December 31, 2019 are under examination. On October 19, 2020, the Italian tax authorities issued a final audit report for calendar year 2015. The Company filed a defense memorandum with the Italian Tax Authorities on May 29, 2021 rejecting all findings. On December 9, 2021, the Company received a tax assessment notice for €15 million relating to calendar year 2015. On February 9, 2022, the Company submitted a voluntary settlement request which entitles the Company to an automatic 90 day extension. The extension will allow the Italian Tax Authority to re-examine the preliminary conclusions of the tax police. At the end of the 90 day extension period, if the parties do not reach a settlement the Company retains the right to appeal the tax assessment before the first degree Tax Court.

These bonds give beneficiaries the right to obtain payment and/or performance from the issuer of the bond if certain specified events occur. In the case of performance bonds, which generally have a term of one year, such events include our failure to perform our obligations under the applicable contracts. In general, we would only be liable for these guarantees in the event of default in our performance of our obligations under each contract, the probability of which we believe is remote. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 related to these bonds. Legal Proceedings From time to time, the Parent and/or one or more of its subsidiaries are party to legal, regulatory, or administrative proceedings regarding, among other matters, claims by and against us, and injunctions by third parties arising out of the ordinary course of business. Licenses are also subject to legal challenges by competitors seeking to annul awards made to the Company. The Parent and/or one or more of its subsidiaries are also, from time to time, subjects of, or parties to, ethics and compliance inquiries and investigations related to the Company’s ongoing operations. At December 31, 2021, provisions for litigation matters amounted to $4 million. With respect to litigation and other legal proceedings where we have determined that an incremental loss is reasonably possible but we are unable to determine an estimate of that reasonably possible loss in excess of amounts already accrued, no additional amounts have been accrued, given the uncertainties of litigation and the inherent difficulty of predicting the outcome of legal proceedings. Texas Fun 5’s Instant Ticket Game IGT Global Solutions Corporation (formerly GTECH Corporation) is party to four lawsuits in Texas state court arising out of the Fun 5’s instant ticket game sold by the Texas Lottery Commission (“TLC”) from September 14, 2014 to October 21, 2014. Plaintiffs allege each ticket’s instruction for Game 5 provided a 5x win (five times the prize box amount) any time the “Money Bag” symbol was revealed in the “5X BOX”. However, TLC awarded a 5x win only when (1) the “Money Bag” symbol was revealed and (2) three symbols in a pattern were revealed. (a) Steele, James et al. v. GTECH Corp. , filed on December 9, 2014 in Travis County (No. D1GN145114). Through intervenor actions, over 1,200 plaintiffs claim damages in excess of $500 million. GTECH Corporation’s plea to the jurisdiction for dismissal based on sovereign immunity was denied. GTECH Corporation appealed. The appellate court ordered that plaintiffs’ sole remaining claim should be reconsidered. On April 27, 2018, this and a related matter were appealed to the Texas Supreme Court, which heard arguments on December 3, 2019. On June 12, 2020, the Texas Supreme Court ruled that Plaintiffs’ could proceed with their fraud allegations in the lower court; all other claims were dismissed. On March 26, 2021, October 29, 2021 and February 3, 2022 (two motions), GTECH Corporation filed motions for summary judgment. One such motion was denied on February 25, 2022, while the other three remain pending. (b) Guerra, Esmeralda v. GTECH Corp. et al. , filed on June 10, 2016 in Hidalgo County (No. C277716B). Plaintiff claims damages in excess of $0.5 million. (c) Wiggins, Mario & Kimberly v. IGT Global Solutions Corp. , filed on September 7, 2016 in Travis County (No. D1GN16004344). Plaintiffs claim damages in excess of $1 million. (d) Campos, Osvaldo Guadalupe et al. v. GTECH Corp. , filed on October 20, 2016 in Travis County (No. D1GN16005300). Plaintiffs claim damages in excess of $1 million. We dispute the claims made in each of these cases and continue to defend against these lawsuits. Adrienne Benson and Mary Simonson, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Double Down Interactive LLC, et al. On April 9, 2018, a plaintiff, Adrienne Benson, filed a putative class action against the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, International Game Technology, and Double Down Interactive LLC, a Washington limited liability company in the United States District Court for the Western District of Washington. On July 23, 2018, plaintiff filed a first amended complaint, adding named plaintiff Mary Simonson, and adding allegations to represent a putative class of all persons in the United States who purchased and allegedly lost virtual “chips” while playing games through an online gaming platform called Double Down Casino, which at all times has been operated by Double Down Interactive LLC. On April 26, 2021, plaintiffs filed a second amended complaint naming IGT, a wholly-owned subsidiary of International Game Technology, as an additional defendant. Plaintiffs have asserted claims for alleged violations of Washington’s Recovery of Money Lost at Gambling Act, Washington’s Consumer Protection Act, and for unjust enrichment, and seeks unspecified money damages (including treble damages as appropriate), the award of reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, pre- and post-judgment interest, and injunctive and/or declaratory relief. International Game Technology acquired Double Down Interactive LLC in 2012 and, effective June 1, 2017, sold Double Down Interactive LLC to DoubleU Games pursuant to a purchase agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”). At all times relevant, Double Down Interactive LLC was the sole operator of the Double Down Casino, and International Game Technology asserts, among other defenses, that it has no liability for the actions of a bona fide subsidiary. On May 10, 2018, Double Down Interactive LLC and DoubleU Diamond LLC sent a claim notice (the “DDI Claim Notice”) to International Game Technology seeking indemnification and reimbursement of defense costs for all claims against Double U Diamond LLC and its affiliates (the “DoubleU Entities”) in the Benson matter, pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. On June 7, 2018, International Game Technology responded to the DDI Claim Notice, rejecting any obligation to indemnify or pay defense costs of the DoubleU Entities, and sent a claim notice to DoubleU Diamond LLC for indemnification and reimbursement of defense costs for all claims against International Game Technology in the Benson matter pursuant to the terms of certain agreements with DoubleU Diamond LLC. On June 17, 2021, IGT sent a claim notice to DoubleU Diamond LLC for indemnification and reimbursement of defense costs for all claims against IGT in the Benson matter pursuant to the terms of certain agreements with DoubleU Diamond LLC. On August 20, 2018, International Game Technology filed a motion to compel arbitration under the Federal Arbitration Act. The denial of that motion was appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, which in turn affirmed the district court by mandate effective February 20, 2020. International Game Technology filed an answer to the first amended complaint on January 18, 2019, and an answer to the second amended complaint on May 10, 2021, continuing to deny all material allegations of liability and damages, and further denying that International Game Technology was responsible for the operation of the Double Down Casino. International Game Technology amended its answer to the first amended complaint on April 21, 2021. IGT filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on May 18, 2021, which remains pending. International Game Technology moved to certify the liability questions to the Washington State Supreme Court, which was denied on August 11, 2020. International Game Technology’s motion to reconsider the question of certification was denied on January 15, 2021. On August 13, 2020, International Game Technology filed a motion to strike the nationwide class allegations from the amended complaint, which was denied on March 19, 2021. On September 10, 2020, International Game Technology filed a motion to dismiss and stay the case on the grounds that the federal court should abstain from deciding the liability questions under Washington law. That motion was denied on March 24, 2021. On February 25, 2021, plaintiffs filed a motion for class certification and for preliminary injunction, which remains pending, and has not been set for hearing. Discovery closed on August 24, 2021. Before the close of discovery, plaintiffs filed motions for leave to take additional depositions and to make expert disclosures that remain pending. There is currently no trial date set for this matter. International Game Technology is vigorously pursuing its defenses. We are currently unable to estimate the amount or range of reasonably possible loss.

At the Parent’s 2021 annual general meeting, the shareholders authorized the issuance of up to 136.6 million additional ordinary shares (of which 68.3 million can be issued in connection with an offer by way of rights issue), with a par value of $0.10 per share, for a period expiring at the end of the 2022 annual general meeting, or, if sooner, on August 10, 2022, unless previously revoked, varied, or renewed. Ordinary shares outstanding were as follows: December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Balance at beginning of year 204,856,564 204,435,333 204,210,731 Shares issued under restricted stock plans 331,554 421,231 224,602 Repurchases of common stock (1,500,000) — — Balance at end of year 203,688,118 204,856,564 204,435,333 Share Repurchase Program On November 15, 2021, the Board authorized a share repurchase program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may repurchase up to $300 million of the Parent’s outstanding ordinary shares during a period of four years commencing on November 18, 2021. At the Parent’s 2021 annual general meeting, the Parent’s shareholders granted authority to repurchase, subject to a maximum repurchase price, up to 20,485,656 of the Parent’s ordinary shares. This authority remains valid until November 10, 2022, unless previously revoked, varied, or renewed at the Parent’s 2022 annual general meeting. The Parent repurchases ordinary shares under the Program at the market price on the trade date and the Parent cancels repurchased ordinary shares or holds them in treasury. If the Parent holds repurchased ordinary shares in treasury, all amounts paid to repurchase such shares have been recorded as treasury stock in our consolidated balance sheets until they are reissued or retired. Under the Program, the Parent repurchased 1.5 million ordinary shares for $41 million during 2021. For the period January 1, 2022 to February 25, 2022, the Parent repurchased 937,758 ordinary shares for $26 million under the Program. Dividends We declared a $0.20 cash dividend per share during the fourth quarter of 2021, the first quarter of 2020, and all four quarters of 2019. The TLF Agreement and the RCF Agreement limit the aggregate amount that the Parent can pay with respect to dividends and repurchases of ordinary shares in each year based on ratings by Moody’s and S&P. As discussed in Note 15 - Debt , in May 2020, the Company entered into amendments to these agreements which prohibited dividends and repurchases of ordinary shares through June 30, 2021.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Segment Information During the third quarter of 2021, we modified the information that our chief operating decision maker, who was also our Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviewed for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance, prompting a change in management, operating segments, and reporting units. As a result, on September 1, 2021, we established a dedicated Digital & Betting business segment, comprising our iGaming and sports betting activities that were previously included within our Global Gaming business segment. Beginning in the third quarter of 2021, we report our financial performance based on three business segments: Global Lottery, Global Gaming, and Digital & Betting, and analyze revenue by segment as well as operating income as the measure of segment profitability. As such, we have recast our historically presented comparative segment information to conform to the way we internally manage and monitor segment performance. Through our three business segments, we operate and provide an integrated portfolio of innovative gaming technology products and services including online and instant lottery systems, iLottery, instant ticket printing, lottery management services, commercial services, gaming systems, electronic gaming machines, iGaming, and sports betting. The Global Lottery segment has full responsibility for the worldwide traditional lottery and iLottery business, including sales, operations, product development, technology, and support. The Global Gaming segment has full responsibility for the worldwide land-based gaming business, including sales, product management, studios, global manufacturing, operations, and technology. The Digital & Betting segment has full responsibility for the worldwide iGaming and sports betting activities, that were previously part of our Global Gaming segment. Our three business segments are supported by central corporate support functions, including finance, people and transformation, legal, marketing and communications, corporate public affairs, and strategy and corporate development. Certain support costs that are identifiable and that benefit our business segments are allocated to them. Each allocation is measured differently based on the specific facts and circumstances of the costs being allocated. Corporate support function expenses that are not allocated to the business segments, which are principally composed of selling, general and administrative expenses, are reported as Corporate and Other expenses, along with goodwill impairment and the depreciation and amortization of acquired tangible and intangible assets in connection with acquired companies. Global Lottery Our Global Lottery segment provides lottery products and services primarily to governmental organizations through operating contracts, facilities management contracts (“FMCs”), lottery management agreements (“LMAs”), and product sales contracts. As part of our lottery product and services, we provide instant and draw-based lottery products, point-of-sale machines, central processing systems, software, commercial services, instant ticket printing services, and other related equipment and support services. We categorize revenue from operating contracts, FMCs, and LMAs as “Operating and facilities management contracts” and revenue from commercial services, software hosting, software maintenance, and other services not included within operating contracts, FMCs, or LMAs as service revenue from “Systems, software, and other”. Revenue included within “Operating and facilities management contracts” include all services required by the contract, including iLottery and instant ticket printing. We categorize sales or sales-type leases of lottery terminals, lottery systems, fixed-fee software licenses, and instant tickets not part of “Operating and facilities management contracts” as product sales from “Lottery products”. Global Gaming Our Global Gaming segment provides gaming products and services including software and game content, casino gaming management systems, video lottery terminals (“VLTs”), VLT central systems, and other related equipment and support services to commercial and tribal casino operators. We categorize revenue from Wide Area Progressive services, and operating leases for VLTs and other gaming machines as service revenue from “Gaming terminal services”. We categorize sales or usage-based royalties promised in exchange for software intellectual property licenses, and systems as service revenue from “Systems, software, and other”. Revenue from the sale or sales-type lease of gaming machines, systems, component parts, and other miscellaneous equipment and services are categorized as product sales from “Gaming terminals” and revenue from systems, fixed-fee software licenses, casino gaming management systems, game content, and spare parts as product sales from “Other”. Digital & Betting Our Digital & Betting segment provides iGaming solutions by providing gaming operators a license to offer IGT remote game server games on operator websites and mobile applications. The segment also provides sports betting technology and services to commercial and tribal operators and lotteries in regulated markets, primarily in the U.S. We categorize revenue from iGaming and sports betting as service revenue from “Digital and betting services”. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we agreed to a perpetual license of our legacy sports betting platform which is categorized as product sales from “Other”.

Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-Based Compensation	12 Months Ended

Share-based Payment Arrangement [Abstract]
Stock-Based Compensation	Stock-Based Compensation Incentive Awards Stock-based incentive awards are provided to directors and employees under the terms of our 2015 and 2021 Equity Incentive Plans (collectively, the “Plan”) as administered by the Board. Awards available under the Plan principally include stock options, performance share units, restricted share units or any combination thereof. The maximum number of new shares that may be granted under the Plan is 20.5 million shares. To the extent any award is forfeited, expires, lapses, or is settled for cash, the award is available for reissue under the Plan. We utilize authorized and unissued shares to satisfy all shares issued under the Plan. Stock Options Stock options are awards that allow the employee to purchase shares of our stock at a fixed price. Stock options are granted under the Plan at an exercise price not less than the fair market value of a share on the date of grant. In 2021, stock options were granted solely to our former Chief Executive Officer, which will vest in 2024 subject to certain performance and other criteria, and have a contractual term of approximately seven years. No stock options were granted in 2020 or 2019. Stock Awards Stock awards are principally made in the form of performance share units (“PSUs”) and restricted share units (“RSUs”). PSUs are stock awards where the number of shares ultimately received by the employee depends on the Company’s performance against specified targets, which may include Adjusted EBITDA, Free Cash Flow and Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) relative to the Russell Mid Cap Market Index. PSUs typically vest 50% over an approximate three-year period and 50% over an approximate four-year period (i.e. four years to vest both tranches). In 2021, a second round of PSUs was granted in lieu of there being no 2020 PSUs that vest 50% over an approximate two-year period and 50% over an approximate three-year period. Dividend equivalents are not paid under the Plan. The fair value of each PSU is determined on the grant date or modification date, based on the Company’s stock price, adjusted for the exclusion of dividend equivalents, and assumes that performance targets will be achieved. Over the performance period, the number of shares of stock that will be issued is adjusted based upon the probability of achievement of performance targets. The ultimate number of shares issued and the related compensation cost recognized as expense is based on a comparison of the final performance metrics to the specified targets. RSUs are stock awards granted to directors that entitle the holder to shares of common stock as the award vests, typically over a one-year period, and have a contractual term of 10 years. Dividend equivalents are not paid under the Plan. In 2020, RSUs were also granted to employees, which vest in approximately one Stock Option Activity A summary of our stock option activity and related information is as follows: Weighted-Average Stock Exercise Price Per Share ($) Remaining Contractual Term (in years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value ($ in millions) Outstanding at January 1, 2021 422,500 21.49 Granted 172,500 20.37 Forfeited (172,500) 30.12 Outstanding at December 31, 2021 422,500 17.51 2.82 At December 31, 2021: Vested and expected to vest 422,500 17.51 2.82 5 Exercisable 250,000 15.53 0.38 3 No stock options were exercised in 2021, 2020 and 2019. Fair Value of Stock Options Granted We estimate the fair value of stock options at the date of grant using a valuation model that incorporates key inputs and assumptions as detailed in the table below. The weighted-average grant date fair value of stock options granted during 2021 was $9.82 per share. 2021 Valuation model Monte Carlo Exercise price ($) 20.37 Expected option term (in years) 2.00 Expected volatility of the Company’s stock (%) 60.00 Risk-free interest rate (%) 0.80 Dividend yield (%) — The expected volatility assumes the historical volatility is indicative of future trends, which may not be the actual outcome. The expected option term is based on historical data and is not necessarily indicative of exercise patterns that may occur. Estimates of fair value are not intended to predict actual future events or the value ultimately realized by employees who receive equity awards, and subsequent events are not indicative of the reasonableness of our original estimates of fair value.

The total vest-date fair value of RSUs vested was $33 million, $1 million, and $1 million for 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Fair Value of Stock Awards Granted We estimated the fair value of PSUs at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model, as the awards include a market condition. The market condition is based on the Company’s TSR relative to the Russell Midcap Market Index. During 2021, 2020, and 2019, we estimated the fair value of RSUs at the date of grant based on our stock price. Details of the grants are as follows: 2021 2020 2019 PSUs granted during the year 3,740,075 — 2,133,512 Weighted-average grant date fair value ($) 26.10 — 11.10 RSUs granted during the year 79,844 2,375,141 131,676 Weighted-average grant date fair value ($) 22.29 9.04 14.10 Stock-Based Compensation Expense Total compensation cost (recovery) for our stock-based compensation plans is recorded based on the employees’ respective functions as detailed below.

During years when we are in a net loss position, certain outstanding stock options and unvested restricted stock awards are excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because including them would have had an antidilutive effect. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, stock options and unvested restricted stock awards totaling 1 million shares were excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share because including them would have had an antidilutive effect. No shares were antidilutive for the year ended December 31, 2021.

Amounts receivable from De Agostini and subsidiaries of De Agostini (collectively, the “De Agostini Group”) are non-interest bearing. Transactions with the De Agostini Group include payments for support services provided and office space rented pursuant to a lease entered into prior to the formation of the Company. In addition, certain of our Italian subsidiaries have a tax unit agreement, and in some cases, a value-added tax agreement, with De Agostini pursuant to which De Agostini consolidates certain Italian subsidiaries of De Agostini for the collection and payment of taxes to the Italian tax authority.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent EventsOn February 25, 2022, the Parent’s wholly-owned subsidiary, IGT Lottery S.p.A. entered into a share sale and purchase agreement to sell 100% of the share capital of Lis Holding S.p.A., a wholly owned subsidiary of IGT Lottery S.p.A. that conducts the Company’s Italian commercial services business, to PostePay S.p.A. – Patrimonio Destinato IMEL, an entity of the Italian postal service provider group, for a purchase price of €700 million. Lis Holding S.p.A did not meet the criteria for assets held for sale as of December 31, 2021 and therefore remains presented as a component of continuing operations within our Global Lottery segment. Upon classification as held for sale in the first quarter of 2022, the Company does not expect to recognize a loss. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close during the third quarter of 2022.

Summary of Significant Accoun_2

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies)	6 Months Ended	12 Months Ended
	Jun. 30, 2020	Dec. 31, 2021
Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation		Basis of Preparation Our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements are stated in millions of United States (“U.S.”) dollars (except share and per share data) unless otherwise indicated, and are computed based on the amounts in thousands. Certain amounts in columns and rows within tables may not foot due to rounding. Percentages and earnings per share amounts presented are calculated from the underlying unrounded amounts. As further described in Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale, on May 10, 2021, the Company completed the sale of its Italian B2C gaming machine, sports betting, and digital gaming businesses, which met the criteria to be reported as a discontinued operation during the fourth quarter of 2020. As a result, the historical financial results are reflected in the Company's consolidated financial statements as a discontinued operation, and assets and liabilities were classified as assets and liabilities held for sale at December 31, 2020. Recasting of Certain Prior Period Information During the third quarter of 2021, we modified the information that our chief operating decision maker, who was also our Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviewed for purposes of allocating resources and assessing performance, prompting a change in management, operating segments, and reporting units. As a result, beginning in the third quarter of 2021, we report our financial performance based on our new business segments described in Note 21 – Segment Information . We have recast our historically presented comparative segment information to conform to the way we internally manage and monitor segment performance as of the third quarter of 2021. This change primarily impacted Note 4 - Revenue Recognition, Note 13 - Goodwill, and Note 21 – Segment Information , with no impact on consolidated revenue, net income, or cash flows.
Principles of Consolidation		Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Parent, our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries, and any variable interest entities in which we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Earnings or losses attributable to non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are included in net income (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations.
Use of Estimates		Use of Estimates The preparation of our consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates, judgments, and assumptions which affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, equity, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent liabilities. On an ongoing basis we evaluate our estimates, judgments, and methodologies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe are reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets, liabilities, and equity, and the amount of revenues and expenses. Accordingly, actual results and outcomes could differ from those estimates.
Revenue		Revenue We account for a contract with a customer when: we have written approval; the parties are committed to perform their respective obligations; the rights of the parties, including payment terms, are identified; the contract has commercial substance; and collection of consideration is probable. Performance obligations are identified at contract inception. A performance obligation is a promise in a contract with a customer to transfer products or services that are distinct. If we enter into two or more contracts at or near the same time, the contracts may be combined and accounted for as one contract, in which case we determine whether the services or products in the combined contract are distinct. A service or product that is promised to a customer is distinct if both of the following criteria are met: the customer can benefit from the service or product either on its own or together with other resources that are readily available to the customer; and our promise to transfer the service or product to the customer is separately identifiable from other promises in the contract. Revenue is recognized when (or as) control of a promised service or product transfers to a customer, in an amount that reflects the consideration (which represents the transaction price) to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring that service or product. If the consideration promised in a contract includes a variable amount, we estimate the amount to which we expect to be entitled using either the expected value or most likely amount method. Our contracts may include terms that could cause variability in the consideration, including, for example, rebates, volume discounts, service-level penalties, and performance bonuses or other forms of contingent revenue. Our standard payment terms dictate that payment is due upon receipt of invoice, payable within 30 days. Invoices are generally issued as control transfers and/or as services are rendered. Additionally, in determining the transaction price, we adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of the time value of money if the payment terms are not standard and the timing of payments agreed to by the parties to the contract provide the customer or the Company with a significant benefit of financing, in which case the contract contains a significant financing component. Most arrangements that contain a significant financing component include explicit financing terms. We may include subcontractor services or third-party vendor services or products in certain arrangements. In these arrangements, revenue from sales of third-party vendor services or products are recorded net of costs when we are acting as an agent between the customer and the vendor, and gross when we are the principal for the transaction. To determine whether we are an agent or principal, we consider whether we obtain control of the services or products before they are transferred to the customer. In making this evaluation, several factors are considered, most notably whether we have primary responsibility for fulfillment to the customer, as well as inventory risk and pricing discretion. Additional information on revenue recognition is included in Note 4.- Revenue Recognition. Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations We often enter into contracts that consist of a combination of services and products based on the needs of our customers, which may include post-contract support for the software and a contract for post-warranty maintenance service for the hardware. These contracts consist of multiple services and products, whereby the hardware and software may be delivered in one period and the software support and hardware maintenance services are delivered over time. To the extent that a service or product in an arrangement with multiple performance obligations is subject to other specific accounting guidance, that service or product is accounted for in accordance with such specific guidance. For all other distinct services and products in these arrangements, the arrangement transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis or another method that depicts the amount of consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for transferring the promised services or products. If the services and products are not distinct, we determine an appropriate measure of progress based on the nature of our overall promise for the single performance obligation. To the extent we grant the customer the option to acquire additional services or products in one of these arrangements, we account for the option as a distinct performance obligation in the contract only if the option provides a material right to the customer that it would not receive without entering into the contract (i.e., a significant discount incremental to the range of discounts typically given for the service or product), in which case the customer in effect pays in advance for the option to purchase future services or products. We allocate a portion of the transaction price to the material right and recognize revenue when those future services or products are transferred or when the option expires. Standalone Selling Price We allocate the transaction price to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price (“SSP”) basis. The SSP is the price at which we would sell a promised service or product separately to a customer. In some instances, we are able to establish SSP based on the observable prices of services or products sold separately in comparable circumstances to a similar customer. We typically establish an SSP range for our services and products that are reassessed on a periodic basis or when facts and circumstances change. In other instances, we may not be able to establish an SSP range based on observable prices, and we estimate the SSP by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to, overall market conditions, including geographic or regional specific factors, competitive positioning, competitor actions, internal costs, profit objectives, and pricing practices. Estimating SSP is a formal process that includes review and approval by management. Contract Costs Certain eligible, non-recurring costs incurred in the initial phases of service contracts are capitalized and amortized ratably over the expected period of benefit, which includes anticipated contract renewals or extensions. Recurring operating costs in these contracts are recognized as incurred. Practical Expedients and Exemptions We report revenue net of any revenue-based taxes assessed by governmental authorities that are imposed on and concurrent with specific revenue-producing transactions. We generally expense incremental costs of obtaining a contract (e.g., sales commissions) when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in our consolidated statements of operations. For certain of our long-term contracts, recoverable costs are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the expected customer relationship period. We do not account for significant financing components if the period between when we transfer the promised service or product to the customer and when the customer pays for that service or product will be one year or less. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with an original expected length of one year or less, (ii) performance obligations for which we recognize revenue at the amount that we have the right to invoice for services performed, (iii) contracts for which variable consideration is accounted for in accordance with sales-based or usage-based royalty guidance, and (iv) wholly unperformed contracts. Contract Assets and Liabilities Contract assets arise from contracts when revenue is recognized over time and the amount of revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. These amounts are included in contract assets until the right to payment is no longer conditional on events other than the passage of time. Contract liabilities include deferred revenue, advance payments, and billings in excess of revenue recognized.
Stock-Based Compensation		Stock-Based Compensation Stock-based compensation represents the cost related to stock-based awards granted to directors and employees. Stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date or modification date, based on the estimated fair value of the award and recognized as expense, net of estimated forfeitures, over the vesting periods. For awards subject to cliff vesting, compensation
Advertising		Advertising Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was $33 million, $25 million, and $34 million for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively.
Research and Development Costs		Research and Development CostsResearch and development costs (“R&D”), which principally include employee compensation costs, are expensed as incurred.
Cash and Cash Equivalents		Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less at the date of acquisition, such as bank deposits, money market funds, and interest bearing bank accounts with insignificant interest rate risk. The fair value of cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying amount.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents		Restricted Cash and Cash EquivalentsWe are required by gaming regulations to maintain sufficient reserves in restricted cash accounts to be used for the purpose of funding payments to WAP jackpot winners. These restricted cash balances are based primarily on the jackpot meters displayed to slot players, or for previously won jackpots, and vary by jurisdiction. Under our Italian Lotto contract, we deposit wagers, net of prizes paid and retailer commissions retained by the retailer at point of sale, into bank accounts, the use of which is restricted based on the contract with our customer. Restricted cash is also maintained for interactive digital player deposits, collections on factored and serviced receivables not yet paid through to the third-party owner, and for customer funds received in relation to the provision of our commercial services. These amounts are restricted based on the contracts with our customers or local regulations.
Allowance for Credit Losses		Allowance for Credit Losses We maintain an allowance for credit losses on receivables resulting from the expected failure or inability of our customers to make required payments. The allowance is regularly reviewed by considering factors such as the creditworthiness of our customers, historical experience, aging of receivables, and current market and economic conditions, as well as management’s expectations of future conditions when appropriate. The allowance is deducted from the amortized cost basis of the receivable to present the net amount expected to be collected. We estimate expected credit losses on receivables on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. Trade and other receivables and customer financing receivables represent the initial pools which are segregated further by business segment, geography, internal risk rating, and aging. The risk of loss is assessed over the contractual life of the receivables and we adjust historical loss rates for current and future conditions based on qualitative considerations. The expected loss rate for each receivable pool is applied to the aggregate receivable balance to determine the allowance requirement. Receivables are written off against the allowance in the period they are determined to be uncollectible. We determine delinquency based on the contractual payment terms. An account may be considered delinquent if there are unpaid balances remaining on the account the day after the contractual due date. For amounts due from certain government customers in the Global Lottery business segment, we have not established an allowance as we have no expectation of loss based on a long history of no credit losses and the explicit guarantee of a sovereign entity.
Inventories		Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (applying the first in, first out method) and net realizable value. Allowances are made for defective, obsolete, or excess inventory.
Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale		Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale We classify assets and liabilities (disposal groups) to be sold as held for sale in the period in which all of the following criteria are met: management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the disposal group; the disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject to terms customary for sales of such disposal groups; an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the disposal group have been initiated; the sale of the disposal group is probable, and transfer of the disposal group is expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year; the disposal group is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. We initially measure a disposal group that is classified as held for sale at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less any costs to sell. Any loss resulting from this measurement is recognized in the period in which the held for sale criteria are met. Conversely, gains are not recognized on the sale of a disposal group until the date of sale. We assess the fair value of a disposal group, less any costs to sell, each reporting period it remains classified as held for sale and report any subsequent changes as an adjustment to the carrying value of the disposal group, as long as the new carrying value does not exceed the carrying value of the disposal group at the time it was initially classified as held for sale. Upon determining that a disposal group meets the criteria to be classified as held for sale, we report the assets and liabilities of the disposal group, if material, in the line items assets held for sale and liabilities held for sale in the consolidated balance sheet in each period presented. Refer to Note 3 - Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale , for further information.
Systems, Equipment and Other Assets Related to Contracts, Net and Property, Plant and Equipment, Net		Systems, Equipment and Other Assets Related to Contracts, Net and Property, Plant and Equipment, Net We have two categories of fixed assets: systems, equipment and other assets related to contracts (“Systems & Equipment”) and property, plant and equipment (“PPE”). Systems & Equipment are assets that primarily support our operating contracts, FMCs, and WAP systems (collectively, the “Contracts”) and are principally composed of lottery and gaming assets, including those that are accounted for as operating leases with our customers. PPE are assets we use internally, not associated with Contracts, primarily related to production and assembly, selling, general and administration, and R&D. Systems & Equipment and PPE are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, if any. Costs incurred for Systems & Equipment and PPE not yet placed into service are classified as construction in progress and are not depreciated until placed in service. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred, whereas major improvements that increase asset values and extend useful lives are capitalized. Systems & Equipment and PPE are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of those assets may not be recoverable. An impairment loss is recognized only if the carrying amount is not recoverable and exceeds its fair value. The carrying amount is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted forecasted cash flows resulting from the use and eventual disposition of such asset. An impairment loss is measured as the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds its fair value.
Goodwill	Goodwill The assets and liabilities of acquired businesses are recorded under the acquisition method of accounting at their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. Goodwill represents costs in excess of fair values assigned to the underlying identifiable net assets of acquired businesses, and is stated at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill has been allocated to and is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is the same level as our operating segments. We evaluate our reporting units annually and if necessary, reassign goodwill using a relative fair value approach. As of December 31, 2021 we have identified three reporting units: Global Lottery, Global Gaming, and Digital & Betting. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually, in the fourth quarter, or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount may not be recoverable. The goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount and an impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value. In performing the goodwill impairment test, we estimate the fair value of the reporting units using an income approach based on projected discounted cash flows. We have the option to first assess various qualitative factors (commonly
Other Intangible Assets		Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets, which include indefinite-lived and definite-lived intangible assets, are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are composed of trademarks for which there is no foreseeable limit of the period over which they are expected to generate net cash inflows. Definite-lived intangible assets, which are primarily composed of customer relationships and computer software and game library, are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives. Estimated useful lives are determined considering the period the assets are expected to contribute to future cash flows. Amortization of software-related intangibles is included in cost of services and cost of product sales and amortization of other intangible assets is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.
Capitalized Software Development Costs		Capitalized Software Development Costs Costs incurred in the development of our externally-sold software products are expensed as incurred, except certain software development costs eligible for capitalization. Software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility and through the general release of the software products are capitalized. Capitalized costs are amortized over the products’ estimated economic life to cost of product sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
Capitalized Software Development Costs		Costs incurred during the application development phase of software for services provided to customers are capitalized as internal-use software and amortized over the useful life to cost of services in the consolidated statements of operations. Costs incurred during the application development of software for internal use, and not for use in services provided to customers, are capitalized and amortized over the useful life to selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.
Upfront License Fees		Upfront License Fees We periodically make long-term investments in contracts with customers and obtain licenses to supply products and services to our customers. As consideration, we pay license fees, which are classified as other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. We recognize the amortization of the license fees as a reduction of service revenue over the estimated economic life of the license term. This method reflects the pattern in which economic benefits are expected to be realized. The recoverability of each payment is subject to significant estimates about future revenues related to the contracts’ future cash flows. We evaluate these assets for impairment and update amortization rates on an agreement by agreement basis. The assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate their carrying amount may not be recoverable. In periods in which payments are made to the customer, we classify the payment as a cash outflow from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.
Jackpot Accounting		Jackpot Accounting We incur costs to fund jackpots and accrue jackpot liabilities with every wager on devices connected to a WAP system. Jackpot liabilities are estimated based on the size of the jackpot, the number of WAP units in service, variations and volume of play, and interest rate movements. Jackpots are generally payable to winners immediately, in the case of instant wins, or in equal annual installments over 19 to 25 years. Winners may elect to receive a lump sum payment for the present value of the jackpot discounted at applicable interest rates in lieu of periodic annual installments. Jackpot liabilities are composed of payments due to previous winners, and amounts due to future winners of jackpots not yet won. Liabilities due to previous winners for periodic payments are carried at the accreted cost of a qualifying U.S. government or agency annuity investment that may be purchased at the time of the jackpot win. If the periodic liability is not initially funded with an annuity investment, it is discounted and accreted using the risk-free rate at the time of the jackpot win. Liabilities due to future winners are recorded at the present value of the estimated amount of jackpots not yet won. We estimate the present value of these liabilities using current market rates, weighted with historical lump sum payout election ratios. Based on the most recent historical patterns, approximately 95% of winners will elect the lump sum payment option. The current portion of these liabilities are estimated based on historical experience with winner payment elections, in conjunction with the theoretical projected number of jackpots.
Legal and Other Contingencies		Legal and Other Contingencies Loss contingency provisions arising from a legal proceeding or claim are recorded for probable and estimable losses at the best estimate of a loss, or when a best estimate cannot be made, at the minimum estimated loss, the determination of which requires significant judgment. If it is reasonably possible but not probable that a liability has been incurred, or if the amount of a probable loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the amount or range of estimated loss is disclosed, if material. We evaluate our provisions for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new provisions or adjust existing provisions to reflect the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings, and other relevant events and developments, the advice of counsel, and the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs are expensed as incurred. Treasury Stock We account for treasury stock acquisitions using the cost method. We account for the retirement of treasury stock by deducting its par value from common stock and reflecting any excess of cost over par value as a deduction from additional paid-in capital in the consolidated balance sheets.
Fair Value Measurements		Fair Value Measurements We account for certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are categorized, based on the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to the use of observable inputs and the lowest priority to the use of unobservable inputs. When inputs used to measure fair value fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. These levels are as follows: • Level 1 - inputs are based upon unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets • Level 2 - inputs are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the instruments
Derivative Financial Instruments		Derivative Financial Instruments We use derivative financial instruments for the management of foreign currency risks and interest rate risks. We do not enter into derivatives for speculative purposes. Derivatives are recognized as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. All derivatives are recorded gross, except netting of foreign exchange contracts and counterparty netting of interest receivable and payable related to interest rate swaps, as applicable. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on the nature of the hedge and the hedge effectiveness. Derivative gains and losses are reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows consistent with the classification of the cash flows from the underlying hedged items. For derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges, gains and losses are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified when the hedged item affects earnings. At that time, the amount is reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) to the same income statement line as the earnings effect of the hedged item. For derivative instruments designated as fair value hedges, changes in fair value are recorded in interest expense and are offset by changes in the fair value of the underlying debt instrument due to changes in the benchmark interest rate. In the event the derivative instruments are subsequently de-designated as hedges, the change in fair value is recognized in interest expense, net in the consolidated statements of operations with no corresponding offset to debt. For derivative instruments designated as net investment hedges, the spot portion of the derivative gain or loss is reported in foreign currency translation within other comprehensive income (loss) to offset any gains or losses on translation of the net investment in the subsidiary until the net investment is sold or liquidated, at which point the amounts are reclassified to earnings. All other components of the derivative fair value will be reported as either interest income or interest expense, on an amortized basis. Derivative instruments not designated as hedges are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value with the changes in fair value recorded in foreign exchange (gain) loss, net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Leases		Leases We determine whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception. As a lessee, we recognize right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and lease liabilities on the lease commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. ROU assets also include any upfront lease payments or initial direct costs and are adjusted for lease incentives received. We consider renewal and termination options, including whether they are reasonably certain to be exercised, in determining the lease term and establishing the ROU assets and lease liabilities. ROU assets and lease liabilities are calculated using our incremental borrowing rate, which is based on the lease currency and length of the lease, unless the implicit rate is determinable. Most of our lease contracts contain both lease and non-lease components. As a lessee, we combine lease and non-lease components into a single lease component for all classes of underlying assets except certain communication equipment. For certain communication equipment, we allocate the consideration between lease and non-lease components based on relative standalone price. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Variable lease payments are generally expensed as incurred except for certain rent payments that depend on an index, which are included in lease payments using the index rate in effect as of the lease commencement date. Short-term leases, which are leases with an initial term of 12 months or less with no purchase options that are reasonably certain of exercise, are not recognized on the balance sheet. The rental payments are recognized as lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of our long term lottery and commercial gaming service arrangements include leases for equipment installed at customer locations. As the lessor, we combine lease and non-lease components for all classes of underlying assets in arrangements that involve operating leases. The single combined component is accounted for under ASC 842, Leases , or ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), depending on which component is the predominant component in the arrangement. If a component cannot be combined, the consideration is allocated between the lease component and the non-lease component based on relative standalone selling price.
Income Taxes		Income Taxes Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts using the enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. Tax credits are generally recognized as reductions of income tax provisions in the year in which the credits arise. The measurement of deferred tax assets is reduced by a valuation allowance if, based upon available evidence, it is more likely than not that some or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. The effect of a change in income tax rates is recognized as income or expense in the period that includes the enacted or substantively enacted date. Accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in the consolidated financial statements is in accordance with accounting authoritative guidance, which prescribes a two-step process to determine the amount of tax benefit to be recognized. First, the tax position must be evaluated to determine the likelihood that it will be sustained upon external examination. If the tax position is deemed “more likely than not” to be sustained, the tax position is then assessed to determine the amount of the benefit to recognize in the consolidated financial statements. The amount of the benefit that may be recognized is the largest amount that has a greater than 50 percent likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. We recognize interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in provision for income taxes in the consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties are included within other non-current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We use the period cost method for global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) provisions and therefore have not recorded deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse in future periods.
Foreign Currency Translation		Foreign Currency TranslationThe financial statements of subsidiaries with functional currencies other than the U.S. dollar are translated into U.S. dollars, with the resulting translation adjustments recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) within shareholders’ equity. Assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date, while income and expense items are translated using the average exchange rates during the period.
New Accounting Standards - Recently Adopted and Not Yet Adopted		New Accounting Standards - Recently Adopted In July 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842) - Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments (“ASU 2021-05”). This update requires sales-type or direct financing leases with variable payments that do not depend on a rate or an index and would have otherwise resulted in a day-one loss at lease commencement, to be classified as operating leases. The amendments in ASU 2021-05 are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The amendments can be applied retrospectively to leases that commenced or were modified on or after adoption of ASC 842, Leases , or prospectively to leases that commence or are modified on or after the date of adoption. We adopted ASU 2021-05 as of October 1, 2021 and applied the provisions prospectively to leases that commenced or were modified on or after October 1, 2021. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt - Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40) (“ASU 2020-06”). This update simplifies the convertible debt accounting framework by reducing the number of accounting models used to account for convertible debt and preferred stock instruments. It also amends the accounting for certain contracts in an entity's own equity that are currently accounted for as derivatives because of specific settlement provisions. In addition, the new guidance modifies the diluted earnings per share calculations for convertible debt instruments. We adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2021 using a modified retrospective approach. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and had no effect on earnings per share information in the period of adoption. In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) - Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”). This update provides, among other things, simplifications for accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions. We adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2021 and applied it prospectively. The adoption did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. New Accounting Standards - Not Yet Adopted In October 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2021-08”). The amendments create an exception to the general recognition and measurement principal in ASC 805, Business Combinations to measure assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination at fair value. Instead, an acquirer in a business combination will be required to apply ASC 606 to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities that result from contracts accounted for under ASC 606 on the acquisition date and will generally result in the acquirer recognizing amounts consistent with those recorded by the acquiree immediately before the acquisition date. ASU 2021-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating the timing and impact of adopting this guidance. In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (“ASU 2020-04”). This update provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. In January 2021, the FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) - Scope (“ASU 2021-01”) to clarify that ASU 2020-04 may apply to certain derivative contracts and hedging relationships affected by changes in the interest rates used for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment in connection with reference rate reform activities. The amendments in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 are effective upon issuance through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating these optional elections and the timing and impact of adopting this guidance. We do not currently expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements.
