NTN Buzztime, Inc. Reports Third Quarter 2014 Results

CARLSBAD, Calif., November 6, 2014 — NTN Buzztime, Inc. (NYSE MKT: NTN) reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2014.

“Buzztime provides a unique entertainment and dining experience that enables venues to engage more deeply with patrons,” said Buzztime CEO Ram Krishnan. “We are designing new games to expand our audience and delivering this content through a transformed platform. As we grow our audience, we believe we will continue to unlock incremental revenue streams.

“During the third quarter of 2014, revenue grew 9% year-over-year, primarily due to customer transition from our classic to our BEOND platform. By September 30, 2014, BEOND installations increased to 859 locations, and conversions at Buffalo Wild Wings®, our largest customer, increased to 530 sites from 470 at the end of the second quarter. We continue to foster this strategic partnership to generate organic growth as Buffalo Wild Wings expands locations.

“The casual dining and bar industry is large and ripe for change. Our advanced technology combined with our deep understanding of the customer experience positions us to grow with the market. In addition to the Buffalo Wild Wings rollout, we are deploying the BEOND platform in other existing and new venues. We continue to invest to expand our product portfolio with modern gameplay, premium services and new features. I am confident in our management team who will help spearhead these efforts to create long-term value for our customers as well as our shareholders.”

Results for the Third Quarter Ended September 30, 2014

Revenues for the third quarter of 2014 grew 9% year-over-year to $6.0 million, compared to $5.5 million for the same period in 2013, reflecting increased equipment revenue under sales-type lease agreements associated with the BEOND platform conversion. Direct costs were $2.3 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 2013, up primarily due to equipment costs related to the BEOND platform deployment. Selling, general and administrative expenses were $4.9 million for the third quarter of 2014, compared to $4.0 million for the same period in 2013. The SG&A increase reflects the Company’s investment in key personnel as well asnon-recurring items – a non-cash stock-based compensation in lieu of cash payment for consulting services and a severance payment – totaling $281,000. Net loss including this amount was $1.3 million or $0.01 per share for the third quarter of 2014, compared to net loss of $0.2 million or $0.00 per share in the same period a year ago.

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had $9.8 million in cash and cash equivalents compared to $5.5 million as of December 31, 2013.

The Company ended the third quarter of 2014 with 3,006 subscribing venues, compared to 3,220 as of September 30, 2013.

EBITDA

A schedule reconciling the Company’s consolidated net loss calculated in accordance with GAAP to EBITDA is included in the supplemental table below. EBITDA is not intended to represent a measure of performance in accordance with GAAP, nor should EBITDA be considered as an alternative to statements of cash flows as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA is included herein because the Company believes it is a measure of operating performance that financial analysts, lenders, investors and other interested parties find to be a useful tool for analyzing companies like Buzztime that carry significant levels of non-cash depreciation and amortization charges in comparison to their net income or loss calculation in accordance with GAAP.

The following table reconciles our net loss per GAAP (in thousands) to EBITDA:
