Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Background and Nature of Operations SciPlay Corporation was formed as a Nevada corporation on November 30, 2018 as a subsidiary of Light & Wonder, Inc. (“Light & Wonder”, “L&W” or “Parent”), for the purposes of completing a public offering and related transactions in order to carry on the business of SciPlay Parent LLC and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as “SciPlay”, the “Company”, “we”, “us” and “our”). As the managing member of SciPlay Parent LLC, SciPlay operates and controls all of the business affairs of SciPlay Parent LLC and its subsidiaries. We develop, market and operate a portfolio of games played on various mobile and web platforms, including Jackpot Party® Casino, Quick Hit® Slots, Gold Fish® Casino, Hot Shot Casino®, Bingo Showdown®, MONOPOLY® Slots, 88 Fortunes® Slots, Solitaire Pets™ Adventure and Backgammon Live as well as other games in the hyper-casual space, such as Candy Challenge 3D™ , Boss Life™ and Deep Clean Inc.™. Our games are available in various formats. We have one operating segment with one business activity, developing and monetizing games. Basis of Presentation The accompanying financial statements are presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated statements of income, consolidated statements of comprehensive income, condensed consolidated balance sheets, consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related Notes included in our 2022 Form 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year. Variable Interest Entities (“VIE”) and Consolidation Our sole material asset is our member’s interest in SciPlay Parent LLC. In accordance with the Operating Agreement of SciPlay Parent LLC (the “Operating Agreement”), we have all management powers over the business and affairs of SciPlay Parent LLC and to conduct, direct and exercise full control over the activities of SciPlay Parent LLC. Class A common stock does not hold majority voting rights but holds 100% of the economic interest in the Company, which results in SciPlay Parent LLC being considered a VIE. Due to our power to control the activities most directly affecting the results of SciPlay Parent LLC, we are considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE. Accordingly, we consolidate the financial results of SciPlay Parent LLC and its subsidiaries. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2022 Form 10-K. New Accounting Guidance There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since those described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Revenue Recognition We generate revenue from the sale of coins, chips and cards, which players can use to play casino-style slot games, table games and bingo games (i.e., spin in the case of slot games, bet in the case of table games and use bingo cards in the case of bingo games). We distribute our games through various global social web and mobile platforms such as Facebook, Apple, Google, Amazon and Microsoft. The games we offer are internally branded franchises, original content and third-party branded games. We also generate revenue from providing advertising platforms with access to our game software platform, which facilitates the placement of advertising inventory. Disaggregation of Revenue We believe disaggregation of our revenue on the basis of platform type and geographical location of our players is appropriate because the nature of revenue and the number of players generating revenue could vary on such basis, which represent different economic risk profiles. The following table presents our revenue disaggregated by platform type: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Mobile in-app purchases $ 165.7 $ 139.7 Web in-app purchases and other (1) 20.7 18.3 Total revenue $ 186.4 $ 158.0 (1) Other primarily represents advertising revenue, which was not material in the periods presented. The following table presents our revenue disaggregated based on the geographical location of our players: Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 North America (1) $ 172.9 $ 144.9 International 13.5 13.1 Total revenue $ 186.4 $ 158.0 (1) North America revenue includes revenue derived from the U.S., Canada and Mexico. Contract Assets, Contract Liabilities and Other Disclosures We receive customer payments based on the payment terms established in our contracts. Payment for the purchase of coins, chips and cards is made at purchase, and such payments are non-refundable in accordance with our standard terms of service. Such payments are initially recorded as a contract liability, and revenue is subsequently recognized as we satisfy our performance obligations. The following table summarizes our opening and closing balances in contract assets, contract liabilities and accounts receivable: Accounts Receivable Contract Assets (1) Contract Liabilities (2) Beginning of period balance $ 51.0 $ 0.1 $ 3.0 Balance as of March 31, 2023 64.2 0.1 2.5 (1) Contract assets are included within Prepaid expenses and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets. (2) Contract liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we recognized $0.6 million and $0.3 million, respectively, of revenue that was included in the opening contract liability balance. Substantially all of our unsatisfied performance obligations relate to contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Concentration of Credit Risk Our revenue and accounts receivable are generated via certain platform providers, which subject us to a concentration of credit risk. The following tables summarize the percentage of revenues and accounts receivable generated via our platform providers in excess of 10% of our total revenues and total accounts receivable: Revenue Concentration Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 2022 Apple 48.8% 47.9% Google 34.3% 34.6% Facebook 11.3% 12.1% Accounts Receivable Concentration as of March 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Apple 61.5% 48.3% Google 24.7% 30.5% Facebook 8.0% 10.7% Alictus Acquisition On March 1, 2022, we acquired 80% of all issued and outstanding share capital of privately-held Alictus Yazilim Anonim Şirketi (“Alictus”), a Turkey-based hyper-casual gaming studio. The remaining 20% was to be acquired ratably for potential additional consideration payable annually based upon the achievement of specified revenue and earnings targets by Alictus during each of the five years following the acquisition date. The specified financial targets for the first year were not met, resulting in extinguishment of $2.9 million in redeemable non-controlling interest liability, which was recorded within the other income (expense), net line item in our consolidated statement of income. The remaining payout ranges from a minimum of $0.0 million to a maximum payout of $200.0 million. We incurred acquisition-related costs, which were recorded in Restructuring and other, of $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The results of operations from Alictus have been included in our consolidated statement of income since the date of acquisition and are not significant to our operations. |
