“Quarterly sequential improvements in new unit shipments, and in particular new replacement units in the U.S. and Canada, along with higher game conversion revenues and growth in our installed participation base, demonstrate the ongoing progress WMS is achieving in the commercialization of new innovative game content and products,” said Brian R. Gamache, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We have returned to a normalized rate of new product introductions; and our newest for-sale and participation products are providing customers with the strong performance historically associated with WMS products. As we continue to introduce creative and differentiated new products, we expect to grow our product sales ship share, as well as our installed participation base.
“At the same time, we have enhanced our focus and accelerated spending in a measured manner to build a comprehensive suite of interactive products and services that provide our customers with solutions that enable them to benefit from interactive gaming opportunities. While this spending impacts near-term financial results, we believe it favorably positions WMS to participate in the tremendous high-margin growth potential of these opportunities that will create longer-term shareholder value.”

Total product sales revenues for the June 2012 quarter were $133.1 million, which increased 2% from the year-ago period and 20% on a quarterly sequential basis. WMS recorded revenue on 4,672 new gaming machines shipped to customers in the U.S. and Canada, an increase of 629 units, or 16%, over the prior-year period. Replacement units comprised approximately 3,900 of the total units shipped to U.S. and Canadian customers in the June quarter, representing the second-highest number of quarterly replacement unit shipments in the Company’s history and an increase of 1,100 and 200 units on a quarterly sequential and year-over-year basis, respectively. New gaming machine sales for new casino openings and expansions in the U.S. and Canada totaled approximately 775 units compared with approximately 1,800 units in the March 2012 quarter and 300 units in the prior-year period. WMS shipped 1,474 new units to international customers, or 24% of total global new unit shipments, in the June 2012 quarter, which was consistent with the number of new unit shipments in the March 2012 quarter, and compares to 2,467 units, or 38%, of total global new unit shipments in the year-ago period as demand in Australia, Mexico and Europe continues to lag prior-year levels.
The average sales price for new units declined on a year-over-year basis to $15,982 reflecting the effect of larger-volume orders that carry higher volume discounts, a lower mix of premium games in the quarter compared with the same period a year ago and the competitive marketplace. Notwithstanding the year-over-year decline, the average selling price increased $749 per unit on a quarterly sequential basis and was in line with the average selling price for the full year. WMS’Bluebird xDunits represented 36% of total global new unit shipments compared with 26% of total shipments in the prior year period. Additionally, the newBluebird2e cabinet that was launched in the March 2012 quarter and features emotive lighting represented a majority of theBluebird2 new unit sales in the June 2012 quarter.
Other product sales revenue increased 72% year over year, or $14.6 million, to $34.9 million, reflecting higher revenue from used gaming machines and game conversion kit sales, partially offset by lower parts revenue. Approximately 2,500 used gaming machines were sold in the June 2012 quarter, including a significant number of refurbished units at higher average selling prices and higher gross margin compared with approximately 1,700 used units in the prior-year quarter. Revenue was recognized on approximately 5,500 conversion kits in the June 2012 quarter compared to approximately 2,100 conversion kits a year ago.

Gaming operations revenues were $62.8 million in the June 2012 quarter compared with $72.6 million in the year-ago period. The quarter-end installed participation base increased by 172 units on a quarterly sequential basis to 9,561 gaming machines at June 30, 2012, and compares to an installed participation base of 9,870 units at June 30, 2011. The average installed participation base for the June 2012 quarter was 9,250 units compared to 9,635 units in the year-ago period. Average revenue per day in the quarter was down 2.3% to $66.50 compared to $68.06 in March 2012 quarter and reflects the absence of normal seasonal improvement due to soft consumer spending in the June 2012 quarter as reported across most regional gaming markets.
Other gaming operations revenue increased $0.8 million year over year, primarily reflecting continued growth in our interactive gaming products and services and incremental revenue from networked gaming solutions, but declined $2.3 million on a quarterly sequential basis reflecting lower royalties from licensing proprietary intellectual property and technologies.
Total gross profit, excluding depreciation, amortization and distribution expense as used herein, increased to $121.3 million from $116.6 million in the year-ago period and $110.1 million in the March 2012 quarter. Total gross margin improved to 61.9% compared to 57.4% a year ago. Product sales gross margin rose 970 basis points to 54.6% in the June 2012 quarter compared to 44.9% in the prior-year quarter and increased 280 basis points on a quarterly sequential basis. The year-over-year increase reflects the $4.9 million of incremental inventory write-down costs recorded in the June 2011 quarter, ongoing cost reduction efforts from our strategic sourcing actions, and strong high-margin conversion kit sales and improved used gaming machine margins, partially offset by the impact of a lower average selling price. Gaming operations gross margin was 77.4% in the June 2012 quarter compared with 79.8% in the prior year, primarily reflecting an increase in wide-area progressive units and the related higher jackpot expense, as well as higher costs to support our interactive gaming products and services, partially offset by the $1.7 million of other asset write-downs recorded in fiscal 2011.

Research and development expenses in the June 2012 quarter declined $6.2 million on a year-over-year basis, but increased $2.2 million on a quarterly sequential basis to $24.3 million. The year-over-year decline reflects the savings generated from the organizational changes announced in August 2011 and $3.0 million of write-down charges for intellectual property impairment recorded in the June 2011 quarter, while the quarterly sequential increase reflects higher spending and investment on innovative new gaming products, coupled with higher incentive compensation expense and the increased spending to support the Company’s participation in long-term, high-margin growth opportunities in interactive gaming.

Selling and administrative expenses in the June 2012 quarter of $40.0 million were $2.5 million higher than the year-ago period and $6.3 million higher than the March 2012 quarter, reflecting $2.1 million for legal settlements in the quarter, increased costs associated with our interactive gaming products and services, including acquisition-related expenses, and higher incentive compensation expense, partially offset by savings from the organizational changes announced in August 2011 and a $0.7 million reduction in bad debt reserves related to Mexican customer receivables.
Depreciation and amortization expense was $25.3 million in the June 2012 quarter compared with $20.6 million in the year-ago quarter and $23.1 million in the March 2012 quarter, primarily reflecting the Company’s continued investment in gaming operations equipment during the last 12 months to upgrade and transition its installed base of participation units toBluebird2 andBluebird xD cabinets, and amortization related to the Company’s investment in the development of itsWAGE-NET® networked gaming system following initial commercialization in the June 2011 quarter.
Interest income and other income and expense, net was $3.8 million in the June 2012 quarter compared with $7.8 million in the year-ago quarter. The prior year quarter included $4.0 million from a cash settlement of litigation.
The effective tax rate for the June 2012 quarter was 37%, which reflects the absence of the expired Federal R&D tax credit, while the effective rate of 40% in the prior year reflected the greater relative impact of certain international subsidiary start-up operating losses not benefiting the effective global tax rate.
Cash flow provided by operating activities for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 was $156.8 million and was comparable to the prior-year. Cash flow provided by operating activities reflects higher depreciation and amortization, as well as a lower negative impact from tax-related items, offset by lower net income, a decrease in non-cash restructuring and impairment charges and lower share-based compensation expense. Total receivables, net were $405.1 million at June 30, 2012 compared with $366.2 million at June 30, 2011, which reflects the use of the Company’s strong financial liquidity to support customers’ demands to refresh their slot base during a period of constrained capital for many, along with higher sales during the past twelve months into markets that historically depend upon extended financing terms. Inventory was $53.3 million, which was $13.8 million lower than at June 30, 2011, primarily reflecting operational improvements and lower finished goods inventory. Total current liabilities at June 30, 2012 increased $18.4 million from the prior year due to higher accounts payables arising from higher capital spending in the June 2012 quarter and working capital management, and higher accrued liabilities.
Net cash used in investing activities was $194.2 million in fiscal 2012 compared to $157.0 million in fiscal 2011, reflecting a $17.1 million increase in capital deployed for gaming operations equipment as we continued to upgrade our installed base with newer gaming cabinets and operating systems, $15.2 million for higher property, plant and equipment expenditures, primarily related to two significant projects that will be placed into service early in fiscal 2013, and $16.4 million for acquisition of businesses, net of cash acquired, partially offset by an $11.5 million decrease in capital deployed to acquire or license intangible and other non-current assets. Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.8 million compared to $77.0 million used in the prior year, primarily due to $60.0 million in proceeds from borrowings under the Company’s line of credit and $51.1 million in lower stock repurchase activity in fiscal 2012 compared to fiscal 2011, partially offset by lower cash received and tax benefits from stock option activity. The Company expects an aggregate 20% decline in capital spending on gaming operations equipment and property, plant and equipment in fiscal 2013.

Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial metric (see reconciliation to net income schedule near the end of this release), was $69.8 million in the June 2012 quarter compared with $70.4 million in the prior-year period. The adjusted EBITDA margin for the June 2012 quarter increased to 35.6% compared to 34.6% in the year-ago period.
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash was $76.1 million at June 30, 2012, a quarterly sequential decrease of $11.5 million, partially reflecting the higher level of capital expenditures totaling $58 million in the June 2012 quarter.
Share Repurchase Program Update
During the three months ended June 30, 2012, the Company purchased 349,515 shares of its common stock for $7.1 million. During fiscal 2012, WMS repurchased 2.4 million shares, or 4% of the outstanding shares at June 30, 2011, for an aggregate $50.4 million. Approximately $148 million remains available pursuant to WMS’ share repurchase authorization. At June 30, 2012, WMS had 54.8 million shares outstanding and 4.9 million shares in the Company’s treasury.
Fiscal Year 2013 Outlook
The Company expects the general economic environment to remain unchanged in the next twelve months, as customers’ capital spending plans are likely to remain relatively flat throughout the remainder of calendar 2012 and into calendar 2013. Revenue growth in fiscal 2013 is expected to reflect: 1) modest growth in product sales ship share in the U.S. and Canada and in the installed participation base, 2) the introduction of innovative new gaming content, platforms and cabinets, 3) an increased contribution from the ongoing commercialization of the Company’s networked gaming system and portal game applications, 4) an increase in revenues from the Company’s interactive products and services and 5) higher VLT replacement demand from Canadian VLT operators that will partially offset lower domestic new casino and expansion unit demand, but at lower average selling prices as VLT’s typically are lower priced than gaming machines sold to new casino openings and expansions. WMS also expects that it will begin to ship units to the Illinois VLT market, with a portion of these units being operating leases. WMS expects fiscal first quarter revenues to approach fiscal 2012 first quarter revenues with growth occurring in the second half of the fiscal year.
WMS expects to accelerate spending on R&D initiatives to equal about 15%-to-16% of fiscal 2013 revenues to fund innovative new products and the creation of intellectual property, along with higher spending to grow its interactive products and services. In addition, with increased spending to expand interactive gaming products and services and higher spending to support overall revenue growth, WMS expects selling and administrative expenses, as a percentage of total revenues, also will rise in fiscal 2013 over fiscal 2012. WMS expects depreciation and amortization expense to increase primarily reflecting the Company’s investment in expanding its gaming operations installed base with newer cabinets and upgraded equipment throughout fiscal 2012 and incremental depreciation associated with property, plant and equipment resulting from two significant projects being placed in service early in fiscal 2013. We expect the increased gross profit contribution from higher revenues mostly will be offset by higher operating expenses in fiscal 2013, as we increase spending to accelerate innovation efforts, expand our interactive initiatives and support revenue growth.
The attached supplemental schedule documents revenue, operating margin and diluted earnings per share progression by quarter for each of the last three fiscal years. Consistent with fiscal 2012, quarterly revenues and operating margin are anticipated to be lowest in the September 2012 quarter and increase in each subsequent quarter with the highest revenue levels and operating margin in the June 2013 quarter.
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, share-based compensation and other non-cash items, including non-cash impairment and restructuring charges) and adjusted EBITDA margin are supplemental non-GAAP financial metrics used by our management and commonly used by industry analysts to evaluate our financial performance. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin provide additional useful information to investors regarding our ability to service debt and are commonly used financial analysis metrics for measuring and comparing gaming companies in areas of liquidity, operating performance, valuation and leverage. Adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as an indicator of our operating performance) or net cash provided by operating activities (as a measure of liquidity) as determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. All companies do not calculate adjusted EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA margin in necessarily the same manner, and WMS’ presentation may not be comparable to those presented by other companies.
