“WMS’ record fiscal 2008 third quarter operating results and fiscal 2008 year-to-date performance highlight the strength, breadth and industry attraction of our innovative product portfolio. Record quarterly new unit shipments and gaming operations revenues along with the success of the Company’s operating effectiveness initiatives are delivering tangible benefits to our stockholders at this time, while furthering WMS’ foundation for continued long-term growth,” said Brian R. Gamache, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Mr. Gamache added, “WMS’ record quarterly revenue was primarily driven by a 39% increase in gaming operations revenues and a 52% rise in International new unit shipments. This strong revenue growth coupled with our margin improvement drove a 46% increase in net income, despite the impact of a higher effective tax rate. WMS’ product development, production and

commercial sales teams continue to demonstrate industry leadership in creating and delivering appealing products for players and customers on a global basis. The commitment of our entire team, along with our pipeline of exciting and differentiated products, supports our expectation that WMS will continue to build long-term stockholder value.
“We are raising our fiscal 2008 total revenue guidance to a range of $640-to-$645 million from the previous range of $620-to-$632 million, reflecting our success in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 and the ongoing momentum of our high-performing products. Our increased guidance represents annual revenue growth of approximately 19% and implies fiscal 2008 fourth quarter revenue of $175-to-$180 million, which also considers the impact from an uncertain economy and the continued industry challenges associated with a slow North American replacement cycle.”
Third Quarter Financial Review
WMS’ total revenues increased 27%, or $36.2 million, to $172.8 million for the fiscal third quarter ended March 31, 2008, compared to $136.6 million in the March 31, 2007 quarter.

New unit sales revenues for the March 2008 quarter increased 22%, or $17.8 million, to $98.0 million compared to $80.2 million in the year-ago period, as we benefitted from expansions at Native American casinos in California, ongoing strong international growth and global market share gains. Total new unit shipments grew year over year to a quarterly record 7,793 gaming machines, primarily driven by a 52% increase in International unit shipments and an 8% increase in North American shipments to 4,891 units. International new unit shipments represented 37% of total new units sold in the March 2008 quarter compared with 30% of new units sold in the March 2007 quarter, on an expanding number of total units shipped. Nearly 2,200 mechanical reel products were sold in the March 2008 quarter, or 28% of total new units sold, compared to 27% in the prior year quarter. The average selling price of new gaming machines was essentially flat year over year reflecting higher list prices offset by a lower average realized international selling price, which resulted from the sale into select international markets of certain lower-priced units utilizing specific slower-turning inventory.
Other product sales revenues increased $1.9 million, or 14%, over the prior-year period, primarily reflecting higher revenues from top box and conversion kit sales. Reflecting the high-earnings performance of our G+® and Innovation series of video games and new 3-reel mechanical multi-line, multi-coin gaming products, WMS shipped nearly 2,300 conversion kits in the March 2008 quarter compared to 2,100 conversion kits in the prior-year period. WMS sold approximately 1,200 used gaming machines at higher average prices in the March 2008 quarter compared to approximately 2,300 used gaming machines at lower prices in the year-ago period.
Gaming operations revenues grew 39%, or $16.5 million, to $59.2 million in the March 2008 quarter compared with $42.7 million in the year-ago quarter, reflecting a 21% year-over-year increase over the average installed base of the March 2007 quarter to 8,897 participation units and an $8.44 increase, or 15% improvement, in the average revenue per day per gaming machine to a record $64.25. The average daily revenue per unit also increased 6% sequentially from $60.46 realized in the December 2007 quarter, principally reflecting the strong performance of our newer gaming machine placements. Favorable player and customer response to new games for our three innovative participation platforms contributed to the year-over-year increases in both the installed footprint and the average daily revenue per participation machine. The participation installed base declined by 159 units on a quarterly sequential basis to 9,027 units as of March 31, 2008 from December 31, 2007, primarily attributable to the lack of any significant new participation games launched in the March quarter and the timing impact related to the transition of approximately 100 participation games that were removed from a tribal customer’s gaming floors in Florida, before the replacement units have been installed. These replacements are scheduled to begin installment at the end of this quarter. Gaming operations revenues in the March 2008 quarter grew 9% from the December 2007 period, reaching a record level driven by the improvement in the average revenue per day per gaming machine.
“The popularity of our new games, such as The Wizard of Oz™ and Big Event® games, is driving the impressive growth in gaming operations revenues, as our new participation platforms, including our line-up of games on the Community Gaming™ platform, our unique “Sensory Immersion” gaming platform and Transmissive Reels™ gaming machines, continue to perform at levels exceeding casino slot floor averages,” Mr. Gamache commented. “With the planned launch

in the current quarter of two new games on these platforms, as well as a new local area progressive game, and the introduction of our fourth foundational technology platform, Adaptive Gaming™ featuring the Star Trek™ game series in July 2008, we anticipate further year-over-year revenue growth in this business in the remainder of fiscal 2008 and into fiscal 2009.”
Total gross profit, as used herein excluding depreciation expense, increased 31%, or $23.7 million, to $101.4 million for the March 2008 quarter from $77.7 million in the year-ago period; and total gross margin improved by 180 basis points to 58.7%. Gross margin on product sales revenues increased by 220 basis points to 48.0% compared with 45.8% in the year-ago period, reflecting continued success with the ongoing implementation of the Company’s lean sigma process improvement and strategic sourcing initiatives, which more than offset the impact from the sale of certain lower-margin products into international markets that utilized slower-turning inventory. Gross margin on gaming operations was 79.2% in the March 2008 quarter, down from 81.3% in the year-ago period, principally reflecting the greater number of Wide-Area Progressive (WAP) gaming machines in the installed participation base, and was in-line with the gross profit margin earned in the December 2007 quarter.
Research and development expenses of $19.5 million, or 11.3% of total revenues, for the March 2008 quarter increased $4.9 million, or 34%, over the March 2007 quarter and by $2.0 million on a quarterly sequential basis. The year-over-year increase is related to:
§ | Expanded development initiatives for the continued creation of intellectual property and the ongoing expansion of the Company’s product portfolio; |
§ | Higher payroll-related costs resulting from headcount increases and improved operating performance; |
§ | Higher costs to accelerate new systems and enterprise-wide system applications for WMS’ Casino Evolved™ suite of innovative, high-value products in preparation for the advent of server-enabled, networked gaming; and |
§ | The addition of the research and development expenses of Systems in Progress (“SiP”), which was acquired in July 2007. |
Additionally, research and development expense for the first nine months of fiscal 2008 represents approximately 12% of total revenues, as anticipated, and were $12.6 million, or 31%, higher than the comparable prior-year nine-month period.
Selling and administrative expense, which includes costs of distribution, were $34.0 million, or 19.7% of total revenues, in the March 2008 quarter compared with $28.0 million, or 20.5% of total revenues, in the year-ago period and declined from $34.1 million, or 21.4% of total revenues, in the December 2007 quarter. The year-over-year increase reflects:
§ | Higher payroll-related costs associated with headcount increases and improved operating performance during the past twelve months to support international expansion and the overall growth in the Company’s business, including higher spending on customer service and field operations support activities to sustain increased customer touch points and WMS’ larger installed participation base; |
§ | Higher regulatory and legal expenses; and |
§ | The impact of consolidating SiP results since July 2007. |

Depreciation expense increased $3.0 million, or 20%, to $18.3 million in the March 2008 period, primarily reflecting WMS’ continued investment in its growing gaming operations business, as evidenced by the 21% year-over-year increase in the average installed base of participation machines.
The effective income tax rate increased to 37% for the March 2008 quarter compared with 34% a year ago, principally reflecting the expiration of the research and development tax credit legislation at the end of December 2007.
For the nine months ended March 31, 2008, cash flow from operating activities rose 85% to $126.4 million from the comparable nine-month period a year ago, including a record $56.5 million generated in the March 2008 quarter. The improvement in the nine-month period reflects increased net income, higher depreciation and non-cash items, coupled with the favorable movement in changes in operating assets and liabilities compared with the prior-year period. Net cash used in investing activities in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 decreased year over year reflecting improved efficiency of capital deployed in WMS’ gaming operations business, which lowered additions to gaming operations equipment compared with the prior year. The prior year also included the acquisition of Orion Gaming. WMS’s fiscal 2008 third quarter adjusted EBITDA rose 38% over the prior-year period to a quarterly record $59.1 million.
At the end of the March 2008 quarter, the Company opportunistically repurchased 139,680 shares of its common stock at an average price of $35.72 for a total consideration of $5 million. WMS has approximately $35 million remaining available under its existing share repurchase authorization. Since the initiation of its share repurchase program in 2002, WMS has repurchased approximately 10% of its shares outstanding for a total of $67.5 million, at an average price of approximately $12.00, including 445,800 shares repurchased in the first nine months of fiscal 2008 at an average price of $33.65.
Fiscal 2008 Financial Outlook
WMS today updated its fiscal 2008 guidance to reflect the ongoing global demand for its high-performing products, which is contributing to the Company’s continued market share gains, and the continuing popularity of newer products in the Company’s gaming operations business. WMS anticipates that fiscal 2008 fourth quarter total revenues will range from $175 million to $180 million, which would bring total fiscal 2008 revenue to $640 million to $645 million compared with the Company’s prior guidance for total revenues to be in a range of $620 million to $632 million.
WMS’ revised guidance contemplates continued softness in North American replacement demand and the possible near-term impact resulting from a slowing economy. As previously noted, WMS intends to maintain higher spending on R&D activities and organizational expansion to support the accelerated development of advanced networked gaming applications and to support its portfolio of innovative products and services that will be available in a server-enabled, networked gaming environment. WMS believes that its investments and spending on intellectual property, the development of advanced technologies and the support of its innovative and differentiated product library, are primary factors in its ability to generate further long-term stockholder value. The Company routinely reviews its guidance and may update it from time to time based on changes in the market and its operations.

Adjusted EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and share-based compensation) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial metric used by our management and commonly used by industry analysts to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA provides additional useful information to investors regarding our ability to service debt and is a commonly used financial analysis tool for measuring and comparing gaming companies in areas of liquidity, operating performance, valuation and leverage. Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as an indicator of our operating performance) or net cash from operations (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All companies do not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in necessarily the same manner, and WMS’ presentation may not be comparable to those presented by other companies.
