Gaming Partners International Corporation Reports Financial Results for the First Quarter of 2015

Las Vegas, NV (PR Newswire) (May 13, 2015) — Gaming Partners International Corporation (NASDAQ: GPIC), a leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment, announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

For the quarter, the Company posted net income of $2.0 million, or $0.25 per basic share and $0.24 per diluted share, on revenues of $18.7 million, compared to a net loss of $1.1 million, or $0.14 per basic and diluted share, on revenues of $10.6 million, for the comparable quarter of 2014. The increase in net income and revenues was primarily attributable to the following two factors, both a direct result of the GemGroup acquisition: an increase in revenues from playing cards and table layouts, and improved production efficiencies from the relocation of Paulson playing card production from Mexico to GemGroup’s Blue Springs, Missouri facility.

“Last year’s acquisition of GemGroup had a significant impact on our 2015 first quarter results. The acquisition expanded our playing card and table layout market share, which resulted in increased revenue in both product categories,” commented Greg Gronau, GPIC President and Chief Executive Officer. “In addition, we successfully completed the integration of our U.S. and Mexico card manufacturing before year end. Moreover, revenues from casino currency sales more than held their own in the quarter. And, as we recently announced, we received a major order totaling more than $7.2 million for casino currency in support of a new casino in Macau with anticipated delivery in late 2015.”
