International Game Technology PLC
Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
1. Description of Business
International Game Technology PLC (the “Parent”), together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “IGT PLC,” the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”), is a global leader in gaming that delivers entertaining and responsible gaming experiences for players across all channels and regulated segments, from Lotteries and Gaming Machines to Digital Gaming and Sports Betting. We operate and provide an integrated portfolio of innovative gaming technology products and services, including: lottery management services, online and instant lottery systems, gaming systems, instant ticket printing, electronic gaming machines, sports betting, digital gaming, and digital lottery.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Preparation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and notes of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and note disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements, but reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the interim period results. The year-end condensed balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 28, 2023 (the “2022 Form 20-F”).
Our condensed 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.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our condensed 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. We evaluate our estimates, judgments, and methodologies on an ongoing basis. 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.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to our significant accounting policies described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our 2022 Form 20-F.
Accounting Pronouncements
The Company closely monitors all Accounting Standard Updates (ASUs) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board and other authoritative guidance. ASUs adopted in 2023 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements, and ASUs to be adopted in future periods are being evaluated and at this point are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
3. Revenue Recognition
Contract Balances
Information about contract assets and contract liabilities is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
($ in millions) | | March 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 | | Balance Sheet Classification |
Contract assets: | | | | | | |
Current | | 75 | | | 69 | | | Other current assets |
Non-current | | 88 | | | 81 | | | Other non-current assets |
| | 163 | | | 150 | | | |
| | | | | | |
Contract liabilities: | | | | | | |
Current | | (104) | | | (91) | | | Other current liabilities |
Non-current | | (42) | | | (49) | | | Other non-current liabilities |
| | (146) | | | (139) | | | |
The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2022 was $22 million. The amount of revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2021 was $58 million.
Transaction Price Allocated to Remaining Performance Obligations
At March 31, 2023, 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 $937 million. Of this amount, we expect to recognize as revenue approximately 34% within the next 12 months, approximately 34% between 13 and 36 months, approximately 15% between 37 and 60 months, and the remaining balance through December 31, 2031.
4. Leases
We have various arrangements for lottery and gaming equipment under which we are the lessor.
Our lease arrangements typically have lease terms ranging from one month to 4 years. These leases generally meet the criteria for operating lease classification, as the lease payments are typically variable based on a percentage of sales, a percentage of amounts wagered, net win, or a daily fee per active gaming terminal. Our leases generally do not contain variable payments that are dependent on an index or rate (such as the Consumer Price Index or a market interest rate). We provide lessees with the option to extend the lease, which is considered when evaluating lease classification. Lease income from operating leases is included within service revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Operating lease income was approximately 7% and 6% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
Our sales-type lease arrangements typically have lease terms ranging from one year to 10 years. We provide lessees with the option to extend the lease, which is considered when evaluating lease classification. Lease income from sales-type leases is included within product sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Total sales-type lease income was approximately 1% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Sales-type lease receivables are included within customer financing receivables, net, which are a component of other current assets and other non-current assets within the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additional information on customer financing receivables is included in Note 5 – Receivables.
5. Receivables
Trade and Other Receivables, net
Trade and other receivables are recorded at amortized cost, net of allowance for credit losses, and represent a contractual right to receive money on demand or on fixed or determinable dates that are typically short-term with payment due in 90 days or less.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
($ in millions) | | March 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |

We enter into various factoring agreements with third-party financial institutions to sell certain of our trade receivables. We factored trade receivables of $100 million and $266 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and year ended December 31, 2022, respectively, under these factoring arrangements, which reduced trade receivables. The cash received from these arrangements is reflected as net cash provided by operating activities in the condensed 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 March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had $136 million and $126 million, respectively, that was collected on behalf of the financial institutions and recorded as other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The net cash flows relating to these collections are reported as financing activities in the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
Customer Financing Receivables, net
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 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”).

Fair Value of Debt
Debt is categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

All other debt is valued using current interest rates, excluding the effect of debt issuance costs and any short-term borrowings.

8. Commitments and Contingencies
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 or its other business activities. 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 March 31, 2023, outstanding liabilities for all legal proceedings, including those discussed in detail below, were $232 million of which $220 million was related to Adrienne Benson and Mary Simonson, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated v. Double Down Interactive LLC, et al. (the “DDI / Benson Matter provision”). As previously disclosed, in November, 2022, the Company placed $50 million in escrow, resulting in $220 million as a remaining accrual for the DDI / Benson Matter provision as of March 31, 2023 in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. With respect to 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 $600 million, as alleged via discovery. 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. In April 2023, pursuant to court ordered mediation, the Company advanced confidential settlement negotiations regarding this matter, and we anticipate settling on a mutually confidential basis with all, or a significant majority of, plaintiffs for an amount which is not material to the Company’s results of operations, financial position or cash flows and is expected to be paid with cash on hand. Given the large number of plaintiffs, some plaintiffs may continue to pursue their case and perhaps proceed to trial on their claims.
(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. Trial is currently scheduled for July 10, 2023.
(c)Wiggins, Mario & Kimberly v. IGT Global Solutions Corp., filed on September 7, 2016 in Travis County (No. D1GN16004344). Plaintiffs claims 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.
The Company will continue to monitor these matters and may adjust its disclosure and accrual in accordance with its Process for Disclosure and Recording of Liabilities Related to Legal Proceedings as described in Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, in our 2022 Form 20-F.

Effective income tax rate | | 56.5 | % | | 35.5 | % | | | | |
(1) Determined using an estimated annual effective income tax rate.
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2023 of 56.5% differed from the U.K. statutory rate of 23.5% primarily due to foreign rate differential, valuation allowance related to our business interest expense limitation carryforward, losses with no tax benefit and the impact of the international provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”).
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 of 35.5% differed from the U.K. statutory rate of 19.0% primarily due to foreign rate differential, valuation allowance related to our business interest expense limitation carryforward, losses with no tax benefit, and the impact of the international provisions of the Tax Act.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had reserves for uncertain tax positions of $28 million and $27 million, respectively.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, interest and penalties were accrued for uncertain tax positions of $26 million and $25 million, respectively.
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 March 21, 2023, the Company received a tax assessment notice for €27 million relating to calendar year 2016. The Company plans to file an appeal with the Italian Tax Court relating to calendar year 2016.

On May 5, 2023, the Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share. The dividend, of approximately $40 million, is payable on June 8, 2023, to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 25, 2023. The ex-dividend date is May 24, 2023. Future dividends are subject to Board approval.

There were nominal stock options and unvested restricted stock awards excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 because including them would have had an antidilutive effect.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of the Company's financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, included in this report, as well as “Item 5. Operating and Financial Review and Prospects” and “Item 18. Financial Statements” in the Company's 2022 Form 20-F.
The following discussion includes information for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022. Amounts reported in millions are computed based on the amounts in thousands. Certain amounts in columns and rows within tables may not foot due to rounding. Percentages presented are calculated from the underlying unrounded amounts.
The following discussion includes certain forward-looking statements. Actual results may differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those discussed below and elsewhere in this report and in “Item 3.D. Risk Factors” and “Safe Harbor Statement under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995” included in the Company's 2022 Form 20-F.

Leveraging a wealth of compelling content, substantial investment in innovation, player insights, operational expertise, and leading-edge technology, the Company’s solutions deliver gaming experiences that responsibly engage players and drive growth. The Company has a well-established local presence and relationships with governments and regulators around the world, and creates value by adhering to the highest standards of service, integrity, and responsibility.
We manage and report our operating results through three business segments: Global Lottery, Global Gaming, and PlayDigital, along with a streamlined corporate support function. The Company’s operations for the periods presented herein are discussed accordingly.
Key Factors Affecting Operations and Financial Condition
The Company’s worldwide operations can be affected by industrial, economic, and political factors on both a regional and global level. The recent bank failures and the associated bank crisis, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the tightening of monetary policy by central banks and other macroeconomic factors have caused disruptions and uncertainty in the global economy, including rising interest rates, increased inflationary pressures, foreign exchange rate fluctuations, potential cybersecurity risks, and exacerbated supply chain challenges. However, these events did not have a material impact on our supply chain or our results of operations during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The extent to which our business, or the business of our suppliers or manufacturers, will be impacted in the future is unknown. We will continue to monitor the effects of these events on our business and our results of operations. The following are the principal factors which have affected the Company’s results of operations and financial condition and/or which may affect results of operations and financial condition for future periods.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The Company’s consolidated financial statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP which require the use of estimates, judgments, and assumptions that affect the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the amounts of income and expenses recognized. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on information available at the date that the financial statements are prepared, on historical experience, judgments, and assumptions considered to be reasonable and realistic. There have been no material changes to the critical accounting estimates previously disclosed in the Company’s 2022 Form 20-F.
The areas that require greater subjectivity of management in making estimates and judgments and where a change in such underlying assumptions could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements are fully described in “Item 1. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” included herein.

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $9 million, or 1%, to $1,060 million from $1,051 million for the prior corresponding period. The increase was due to service and product growth in our Global Gaming and PlayDigital segments, partially offset by $70 million in the prior corresponding period contributed by the Italian Commercial Services business that was sold in September 2022 and unfavorable foreign currency impacts primarily related to the euro of $18 million. Total revenue increased 10%, or $98 million, excluding the contribution from the Italian Commercial Services business and unfavorable foreign currency.

Cost of services for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased $30 million, or 7%, from the prior corresponding period primarily attributable to our Global Lottery segment experiencing a $48 million decrease in point of sale (“POS”) fees due to the disposal of the Italian commercial services business partially offset by $6 million increase in POS consumables used in providing instant and draw-based game sales. Additionally, within our Global Gaming segment, depreciation and amortization expense increased $10 million due primarily to amortization expense related to a multi-year license agreement of intellectual property entered into in December 2022 partially offset by a $7 million reduction in usage-based royalties. As a percentage of service revenue, cost of services decreased by approximately 350 basis points in total. The overall increase in gross service margins was $29 million with gross margin as a percentage of service revenue increasing 350 basis points, 220 basis points, and 480 basis points in our Global Lottery, Global Gaming, and PlayDigital segments, respectively.

Interest expense, net decreased $6 million, or 8%, from the prior corresponding period. This decrease was primarily due to the Company maintaining a lower average balance in our Senior Secured Notes compared to the prior corresponding period.
Foreign exchange loss (gain), net was a $26 million loss, compared to a $3 million gain for the prior corresponding period. Foreign exchange loss (gain), net is principally related to fluctuations in the euro to U.S. dollar exchange rate on internal and external debt.
Other non-operating expense (income), net was $4 million of expense, compared to $3 million income for the prior corresponding period. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized $4 million in losses on extinguishment of debt.

The increase in the provision for income taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was primarily driven by a higher valuation allowance related to our business interest expense limitation carryforward, the impact of the international provisions of the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, partially offset by lower pre-tax income.

Operating and facilities management contracts revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $39 million, or 7%, from the prior corresponding period. This increase was primarily the result of a $35 million increase in instant, draw-based, and multi-jurisdiction jackpot ticket sales that experienced an 8.0% increase in global same-store sales in the aggregate. Global same-store sales for multi-jurisdiction jackpot ticket sales experienced a 48.2% increase, primarily attributable to elevated jackpot levels in the United States.
Systems, software, and other revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased by $72 million, or 85%, from the prior corresponding period primarily due to the sale of our Italian commercial services business on September 14, 2022.

Gross margin on service revenue increased to 52% from 48% for the prior corresponding period primarily as a result of increased Operating and facilities management contracts revenue as discussed above and decreased Systems, software, and other revenue from the former Italy commercial services business where margins were typically lower as a result of the POS fees. As the Global Lottery segment has a high percentage of fixed-costs, gross margin increases as sales increase.
Gross margin on product sales for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased $8 million from the prior corresponding period primarily related to product mix.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
The Company’s business is capital intensive and requires liquidity to meet its obligations and fund growth. Historically, the Company’s primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations and, to a lesser extent, cash proceeds from financing activities, including amounts available under the Revolving Credit Facilities. In addition to general working capital and operational needs, the Company’s liquidity requirements arise primarily from its need to meet debt service obligations and to fund capital expenditures and upfront license fee payments. The Company also requires liquidity to fund acquisitions and associated costs. The Company’s cash flows generated from operating activities together with cash flows generated from financing activities have historically been sufficient to meet the Company's liquidity needs.
The Company believes its ability to generate cash from operations to reinvest in its business, primarily due to the long-term nature of its contracts, is one of its fundamental financial strengths. Combined with funds currently available and committed borrowing capacity, the Company expects to have sufficient liquidity to meet its financial obligations in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months from the date of issuance of these condensed consolidated financial statements and for the longer-term period thereafter.
The cash management, funding of operations, and investment of excess liquidity are centrally coordinated by a dedicated treasury team with the objective of ensuring effective and efficient management of funds.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company's total available liquidity was as follows, respectively:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
($ in millions) | | March 31, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
Revolving Credit Facilities | | 1,439 | | | 1,822 | |
Cash and cash equivalents | | 669 | | | 590 | |
Total Liquidity | | 2,108 | | | 2,412 | |
The Revolving Credit Facilities are subject to customary covenants (including maintaining a minimum ratio of EBITDA to total net interest costs and a maximum ratio of total net debt to EBITDA) and events of default, none of which are expected to impact the Company’s liquidity or capital resources.
The Company completed multiple debt transactions in 2023 and 2022. Refer to “Item 1. Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)—7. Debt” included herein for further discussion of these transactions as well as information regarding the Company’s other debt obligations, including the maturity profile of borrowings and committed borrowing facilities.
At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, approximately 28% and 20% of the Company’s net debt portfolio was exposed to interest rate fluctuations, respectively. The Company’s exposure to floating rates of interest primarily relates to the Euro Term Loan Facilities due January 2027 and the Revolving Credit Facilities.

Non-cash adjustments to net income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were $253 million, compared to $185 million for the prior corresponding period. The principal drivers of the increase in non-cash adjustments were related to unfavorable changes in foreign exchange of $29 million, $19 million in additional deferred income taxes, an increase in depreciation and amortization of $10 million, and a $4 million loss on the extinguishment of debt recognized in the current period.
Changes in operating assets and liabilities resulted in cash outflows of $9 million and $114 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily due to timing of invoicing and payment remittance for trade payables in Italy and a reduction in interest payments.
