1. | Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies |
Company Description and Nature of Operations
We are a global gaming technology company, supplying content, platform and other products and services to online and land-based regulated lottery, betting and gaming operators worldwide through a broad range of distribution channels, predominantly on a business-to-business basis. We provide end-to-end digital gaming solutions (i) on our own proprietary and secure network, which accommodates a wide range of devices, including land-based gaming machine terminals, mobile devices and online computer applications and (ii) through third party networks. Our content and other products can be found through the consumer-facing portals of our interactive customers and, through our land-based customers, in licensed betting offices, adult gaming centers, pubs, bingo halls, airports, motorway service areas and leisure parks.
Management Liquidity Plans
As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s cash on hand was $24.5 million, and the Company had working capital of ($17.7) million. The Company recorded net losses of $60.5 million and $36.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Net losses include non-cash debt fees expensed as part of the repayment of Prior Financing (see Note 4) of $14.4 million and $0.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, non-cash changes in fair value of warrant liability of $13.5 million loss and $5.9 million income for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, excess depreciation and amortization over capital expenditure of $12.8 million and $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, and 2020, respectively, and non-cash stock-based compensation of $million and $million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Historically, the Company has generally had positive cash flows from operating activities and has relied on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of debt and/or the refinancing of existing debt to fund its obligations. Cash flows used in operations amounted to $12.8 million and $10.2 million provided by operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively with the change year on year due to higher debt interest payments made in the six months ended June 30, 2021, as there was an agreement in place to defer and capitalize such payments in the six months ended June 30, 2020. Working capital of ($17.7) million includes a non-cash settled item of $9.7 million of deferred income, and an item not expected to be cash settled of $26.5 million comprising a warrant liability. Management currently believes that, absent any unanticipated COVID-19 impact (see below), the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, ability to control and defer capital projects and amounts available from the Company’s external borrowings will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through August 2022.
Governments in all of the major jurisdictions in which our land-based customers operate have now reopened land-based venues. No restrictions remain in the United Kingdom. There remains an element of social distancing in venues in Greece and in Italy, there are restrictions in place that state only fully vaccinated people can enter our venues. It remains uncertain as to whether and when further restrictions or closures could happen in each jurisdiction and how long they may last. We continue to protect our existing available liquidity by pro-actively managing capital expenditures and working capital as well as identifying both immediate and longer-term opportunities for cost savings.

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8 of Regulation S-X of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. It is management’s opinion, however, that the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of a normal recurring nature, which are necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. The financial information as of December 31, 2020 is derived from the audited consolidated financial statements presented in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 29, 2021 (“the Original 10-K”), and as amended and filed on Form 10-K/A with the SEC on May 10, 2021 (“the 10-K/A”). The interim results for the six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2021 or for any future interim periods.
Restatement of Previously Reported Information
On May 7, 2021, after consultation with Marcum LLP, the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the Company’s management and the audit committee of the Company’s Board of Directors concluded that it was appropriate to restate the Company’s previously issued audited financial statements as of December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, and for the years ended December 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, which were included in the Original 10-K.
The restatement related to the SEC’s public statement released on April 12, 2021, informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies may require classification as a liability of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings.
The effect of the restatement on previously reported information for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows:

In prior periods, and up to and including the interim period nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company operated its business along three operating segments: Server Based Gaming, Virtual Sports (which included Interactive) and Acquired Businesses (which consisted of the businesses acquired from the NTG Acquisition). During the period subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company completed the process of changing its internal structure, which has been ongoing since the NTG Acquisition, and as a result changed the composition of its operating segments. The Company now operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are now managed and the way the performance of each segment is now evaluated.
As part of the recharacterization exercise, certain items of Revenue, Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses have been recharacterized to ensure consistency with similar items across the Group. The revenue recharacterizations are to ensure spares and similar items are reflected with other items of hardware (Product Sales).
The resulting impact on previously reported information for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows: Service Revenue, previously reported $15.2 million, now $15.3 million; Product Sales Revenue, previously reported $0.4 million, now $0.3 million; Cost of Service, previously reported $3.1 million, now $2.5 million; Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (excluding Stock-based compensation), previously reported $10.6 million, now $11.2 million.

The resulting impact on previously reported information for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows: Service Revenue, previously reported $58.4 million, now $58.1 million; Product Sales Revenue, previously reported $9.5 million, now $9.8 million; Cost of Service, previously reported $9.7 million, now $11.0 million; Cost of Product Sales, previously reported $7.3 million, now $6.5 million; Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (excluding Stock-based compensation), previously reported $39.7 million, now $39.2 million.
The recharacterization has no impact on the previously reported Net Operating Loss, Net Loss or Net Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

4. | Long Term and Other Debt |
Senior Secured Notes
On May 20, 2021, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, issued £235.0 million ($324.7 million, as translated at June 30, 2021) aggregate principal amount of its 7.875% senior secured notes due 2026 (the “Senior Secured Notes”). The Senior Secured Notes bear interest at a rate of 7.875% per annum and mature on June 1, 2026. Interest is payable on the Senior Secured Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing on December 1, 2021
The Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees were issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), among Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC, as issuer, the Company and certain English and U.S. subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (collectively and together with the Company, the “Guarantors”), GLAS Trustees Limited, as trustee, GLAS Trust Corporation Limited, as security agent and GLAS Trust Company LLC as paying agent, transfer agent and registrar. The terms of the Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees are governed by the Indenture.
The Company used proceeds from the offering of the Senior Secured Notes to repay its £145.8 million ($201.5 million) senior secured term loan facility and €93.1 million ($110.4 million) senior secured term loan facility and accrued interest thereon (the “Prior Financing”), to close-out derivative contracts entered into in connection with the Prior Financing and to pay fees, commissions and expenses incurred in connection with the refinancing.
9 |
The Senior Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a senior secured first-priority basis by the Guarantors on a joint and several basis. The Senior Secured Notes and related guarantees are secured, subject to certain permitted collateral liens, on a first-priority basis by substantially all assets of the Guarantors and all claims of the Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC under an intercompany loan to Gaming Acquisitions Limited, a private limited liability company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“GAL”), of the proceeds of the offering of the Senior Secured Notes.
The Indenture contains incurrence covenants that limit the ability of the Company and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries; (ii) create or incur certain liens; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends or distributions to the Company’s stockholders or repurchase the Company’s stock; (iv) prepay or redeem subordinated debt; (v) make certain investments, including participating joint ventures; (vi) create encumbrances or restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by restricted subsidiaries; (vii) sell assets, or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; (viii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or those of the Company’s subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (x) create unrestricted subsidiaries. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if and for so long as the Senior Secured Notes have investment grade ratings from any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Investors Ratings Services and Fitch Ratings, Inc. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the Indenture.
Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC may redeem the Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time prior to June 1, 2023, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus a “make-whole” premium as set forth in the Indenture and form of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC may also redeem the Senior Secured Notes, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time on or after June 1, 2023, at the redemption prices set forth in the Indenture and form of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. In addition, at any time prior to June 1, 2023, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC may redeem up to 40% of the original aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes with the net cash proceeds of one or more equity offerings, as described in the Indenture, at a redemption price equal to 107.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date. At any time prior to June 1, 2023, Inspired Entertainment (Financing) PLC may redeem up to 10% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes within each 12-month period at a redemption price equal to 103.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Revolving Credit Facility
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes on May 20, 2021, the Company and certain of our direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries, entered into a Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility Agreement (the “RCF Agreement”) with Global Loan Agency Services Limited, as agent, Barclays Bank plc (“Barclays”) and Macquarie Corporate Holdings Pty Limited (UK Branch) (“Macquarie UK” and together with Barclays, the “Arrangers”) as arrangers and each lender party thereto (the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders agreed to provide, subject to certain conditions, a secured revolving facility loan in an original principal amount of £20 million ($27.6 million) under which certain of our subsidiaries are able to draw funds (the “RCF Loan”). The RCF Loans will terminate on November 20, 2025.
The funding of the RCF Loan is subject to customary conditions set forth in the RCF Agreement. The undrawn commitment of each Lender under the RCF Loan will automatically terminate, unless previously terminated by the Company, on October 20, 2025.
The RCF Loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to (i) SONIA for borrowings in sterling, (ii) LIBOR (or, on and after December 31, 2021, SOFR) for borrowings in dollars, or (iii) EURIBOR for borrowings in Euro, as applicable, plus, in each case, a margin (based on the Company’s consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio) ranging from 4.25% to 4.75% per annum. With respect to the RCF Loan, a commitment fee of 30% of the then applicable margin is payable at any time on any unutilized portion of the RCF Loan.
The RCF Agreement contains various covenants (which include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries and fundamental changes, subject in each case to certain exceptions), representations, warranties, limitations and events of default (which include non-payment, breach of obligations under the financing documents, cross-default, insolvency and litigation) customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers and subject to customary carve-outs and grace periods. Following the occurrence of an event of default which has not been waived or remedied, the Lenders who represent more than 66.67% of total commitments under the RCF may, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement (which governs the relationship between the Lenders and the holders of the Senior Secured Notes), instruct the agent to (i) accelerate the RCF Loans, (ii) instruct the security agent to enforce the transaction security and/or (iii) exercise any other remedies available to the Lenders.
The RCF Agreement requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.25x on the test date for the relevant period ending June 30, 2021, stepping down to 6.0x on March 31, 2022, 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
The outstanding principal amount of each advance under the RCF Loans is payable on the last day of the interest period relating to such advance, unless such advance is rolled over on a cashless basis in accordance with customary rollover provisions contained in the RCF Agreement, with a final repayment on November 20, 2025.
Termination of Prior Financing
The Company’s previous debt consisted of two tranches of senior secured term loans in a principal amount of £145.8 million ($201.5 million) with a cash interest rate of 8.25% plus 3-month LIBOR and €93.1 million ($110.4 million) with a cash interest rate of 7.75% plus 3-month EURIBOR, respectively and a secured revolving facility loan in a principal amount of £20.0 million ($27.6 million) with a cash interest rate on any utilization of 6.50% plus 3-month LIBOR.
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes and the entry into the RCF Agreement, on May 20, 2021, the Prior Financing was repaid in full and the senior facilities agreement (dated September 27, 2019, as amended and restated on June 25, 2020) relating to the Prior Financing was terminated. No prepayment premium applied to the repayment (although customary break cost provisions applied). Debt fees of $14.4 million were expensed to the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Consolidated Loss within Interest Expense as part of the repayment. In addition, on May 19, 2021, we terminated the interest rate swaps relating to the Prior Financing and applicable termination fees were settled on May 20, 2021 (see Note 5).

5. | Derivatives and Hedging Activities |
The Company was party to two interest rate swaps with UBS AG designed to protect the Company against adverse fluctuations in interest rates by reducing its exposure to variability in cash flows on a portion of the previous floating rate debt facilities. The swaps fixed the variable interest rate of the debt facilities and provided protection over potential interest rate increases by providing a fixed rate of interest payment in return. The interest rate swaps were for £95 million ($131.3 million) at a fixed rate of 0.9255% based on the 6-month LIBOR rate and for €60 million ($71.2 million) at a fixed rate of 0.102% based on the 6-month EURIBOR rate.
In connection with the issuance of the Senior Secured Notes and the entry into the RCF Agreement, on May 19, 2021, the Company terminated its two interest rate swaps. The termination fees were settled on May 20, 2021, for £1.3 million ($1.9 million) and €0.1 million ($0.2 million), respectively.
Hedges of Multiple Risks
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives were to add stability to interest and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily used interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period(s) during which the hedged transaction affects earnings. Amounts reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense over the life of the original instruments. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that an additional $1.0 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
As of June 30, 2021, the company did not have any derivatives. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:
Interest Rate Derivative | Number of Instruments | Notional | ||||
Interest rate swaps | 2 | £95 million ($131.3 million) at a fixed rate of 0.9255% based on the 6-month LIBOR rate and €60 million ($71.2 million) at a fixed rate of 0.102% based on the 6-month EURIBOR rate |

6. | Fair Value Measurements |
Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset and liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We estimate the fair value of our assets and liabilities utilizing an established three-level hierarchy. The hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date as follows:
Level 1: | Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2: | Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated with observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices that can be corroborated with observable market data, as well as quoted prices that were adjusted for security-specific restrictions. | |
Level 3: | Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs also include non-binding market consensus prices or non-binding broker quotes that are unable to be corroborated with observable market data. |
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments approximates their recorded values.
For each period, derivative financial instrument assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are included in the financial statements as per the table below.

The fair value of our long-term senior debt as of June 30, 2021, was $332.9 million, based upon quoted prices in the marketplace, which are considered Level 2 inputs.
Level 3 liabilities are valued using unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of the fair value of the derivative liabilities. For fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s principal financial officer, who reports to the principal executive officer, determines its valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for Level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of the Company’s Principal Financial Officer and approved by the Principal Executive Officer.
At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no transfers in or out of Level 3 from other levels in the fair value hierarchy.
7. | Stock-Based Compensation |
The Company’s stock-based compensation plans authorize awards of restricted stock units (“RSUs”), stock options and other equity-related awards. The Company’s 2021 Omnibus Incentive Plan (“2021 Plan”) was adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors on April 12, 2021 and approved by our stockholders on May 11, 2021. The 2021 Plan succeeds the Company’s 2018 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”) such that shares available for award under the 2018 Plan would instead be available under the 2021 Plan. The Company has two other predecessor plans, the 2016 Long-Term Incentive Plan and the Second Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Prior Plans”), whose available balances were terminated in connection with approval of the 2018 Plan. Although outstanding awards under the Prior Plans remain governed by the terms of the Prior Plans, no new awards may be granted or become available for grant under the Prior Plans.

As of June 30, 2021, there were As of June 30, 2021, there were shares available for new awards under the 2021 Plan (which includes shares rolled over from the 2018 Plan) and no shares available for new awards under the Prior Plans. All awards consist of RSUs and Restricted Stock.
The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that authorizes the issuance of up to an aggregate of shares of common stock pursuant to purchases thereunder by employees. The ESPP, which was approved by stockholders in July 2017, is administered by the Compensation Committee which has discretion to designate the length of offering periods and other terms subject to the requirements of the ESPP. As of June 30, 2021, a total of shares remain available for purchase under the ESPP.

The Company issued a total of shares during the six months ended June 30, 2021 (such shares were issued in connection with the net settlement of RSUs that vested on December 31, 2020).
Stock-based compensation is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period, which is generally the vesting period. For performance awards that are contingent upon the Company achieving certain pre-determined financial performance targets, compensation expense is calculated based on the number of shares expected to vest after assessing the probability that the performance criteria will be met. Determining the probability of achieving a performance target requires estimates and judgment. For market-based awards that are contingent upon the Company’s stock achieving certain pre-determined price targets, compensation expense is calculated based upon the determination of the fair value of the awards as derived through multiple running of the Monte Carlo valuation model, with the fair value recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense amounting to $ million and $ million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $ million and $ million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock awards and unvested RSUs at June 30, 2021 amounts to $ million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of years.

Basic loss per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding the effects of any potentially dilutive securities. Diluted EPS gives effect to all dilutive potential shares of common stock outstanding during the period, including stock options, restricted stock, RSUs and warrants, using the treasury stock method, and convertible debt or convertible preferred stock, using the if-converted method. Diluted EPS excludes all dilutive potential of shares of common stock if their effect is anti-dilutive.

11. | Income Taxes |
The effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was 0.7% and 0.3%, respectively, resulting in a $0.3 million and $0.1 million income tax expense, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 was (0.6%) and 0.8%, respectively, resulting in a $0.4 million income tax benefit and a $0.3 million income tax expense, respectively. The Company’s effective income tax rate has fluctuated primarily as a result of the income mix between jurisdictions.
The income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 differs from the amount that would be expected after applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate primarily due to pre-tax losses for which no tax benefit can be recorded, and foreign earnings being taxed at rates different than the US statutory rate.

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company may become involved in lawsuits and legal matters arising in the ordinary course of business.

15. | Pension Plan |
We operate a defined contribution plan in the US, and both defined benefit and defined contribution pension schemes in the UK. The defined contribution scheme assets are held separately from those of the Company in independently administered funds.
Defined Benefit Pension Scheme
The defined benefit scheme has been closed to new entrants since April 1, 1999 and closed to future accruals for services rendered to the Company for the entire financial statement periods presented. On March 15, 2019, it was agreed that no further deficit reduction contributions would be made to the scheme, except in the event that the scheme funding level does not progress as expected, in which case contingent contributions would be made subject to an agreed maximum amount.
In January 2021, the funding level of the scheme was tested against the expected position at December 31, 2020 and it was determined that further contingent contributions of $1.2 million and expense contributions of $0.4 million will be payable during the year ending December 31, 2021.
The funding level of the scheme will next be tested against the expected position at December 31, 2021 to determine whether further contingent contributions are payable during the year ending December 31, 2022.
The total amount of employer contributions paid during the six months ended June 30, 2021 amounted to $0.6 million relating to the six months ended June 30, 2021, and $0.4 million of contributions relating to the year ending December 31, 2020 agreed with the trustees of the scheme to be deferred into the year ending December 31, 2021.

16. | Segment Reporting and Geographic Information |
The Company operates its business along four operating segments, which are segregated on the basis of revenue stream: Gaming, Virtual Sports, Interactive and Leisure. The Company believes this method of segment reporting reflects both the way its business segments are managed and the way the performance of each segment is evaluated.
In prior years, and up to and including the interim period nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company operated its business along three operating segments: Server Based Gaming, Virtual Sports (which included Interactive) and Acquired Businesses (which consisted of the businesses acquired from the NTG Acquisition). During the period subsequent to September 30, 2020, the Company completed the process of changing its internal structure, which has been ongoing since the NTG Acquisition, and as a result changed the composition of its operating segments.
The following tables present revenue, cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation expense and acquisition related transaction expenses, operating profit/(loss), total assets and total capital expenditures for the periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, respectively, by business segment. Certain unallocated corporate function costs have not been allocated to the Company’s reportable operating segments because these costs are not allocable and to do so would not be practical. Corporate function costs consist primarily of selling, general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, capital expenditures, right of use assets, cash, prepaid expenses and property and equipment and software development costs relating to corporate/shared functions. All acquisition and integration related transaction expenses are allocated as corporate function costs. Amounts previously disclosed for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 have been recharacterized in line with the current operating segments and categories.
In addition, as part of the recharacterization exercise, certain items of Revenue, Cost of Sales and Selling, General and Administrative Expenses have been recharacterized to ensure consistency with similar items across the Group. The revenue recharacterizations are to ensure spares and similar items are reflected with other items of hardware (Product Sales).
The resulting impact on previously reported information for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows: Service Revenue, previously reported $15.2 million, now $15.3 million; Product Sales Revenue, previously reported $0.4 million, now $0.3 million; Cost of Service, previously reported $3.1 million, now $2.5 million; Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (excluding Stock-based compensation), previously reported $10.6 million, now $11.2 million.
The resulting impact on previously reported information for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is as follows: Service Revenue, previously reported $58.4 million, now $58.1 million; Product Sales Revenue, previously reported $9.5 million, now $9.8 million; Cost of Service, previously reported $9.7 million, now $11.0 million; Cost of Product Sales, previously reported $7.3 million, now $6.5 million; Selling, General and Administrative Expenses (excluding Stock-based compensation), previously reported $39.7 million, now $39.2 million.
The recharacterization has no impact on the previously reported Net Operating Loss, Net Loss or Net Comprehensive Loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes thereto included elsewhere in this report. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. Our actual future results could differ materially from the historical results discussed below. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those identified below and those discussed in the section titled “Risk Factors” included herein and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.
Forward-Looking Statements
We make forward-looking statements in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. For definitions of the term Forward-Looking Statements, see the definitions provided in the Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements at the start of the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021.
COVID-19 Update
Governments in all of the major jurisdictions in which our land-based customers operate have now reopened land-based venues. As of April 12, 2021, in the United Kingdom, licensed betting offices in England and Wales have reopened with certain restrictions including operating two of four gaming machines per venue, limited dwell time of 15 minutes, as well as a maximum of two visits per day per patron and an 8:00pm curfew. These restrictions remained in place until May 17, 2021. Gaming machines in pubs, holiday parks, motorway services, Scottish betting offices and adult gaming centers across the United Kingdom reopened on May 17, 2021 with social distancing restrictions in place. All social distancing restrictions were removed in England as of July 19, 2021. As of August 9, 2021 no restrictions remain in the United Kingdom. There remains an element of social distancing in venues in Greece and in Italy, there are restrictions in place that state only fully vaccinated people can enter our venues. It remains uncertain as to whether and when further restrictions or closures could happen in each jurisdiction and how long they may last.
Segment Reporting Recharacterizations
For full information on this, see Part IV, Item 15 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, ‘Exhibits, Financial Statement Schedules’ Note 26 ‘Segment Reporting and Geographic Information’.
Revenue
We generate revenue in four principal ways: i) on a participation basis, ii) on a fixed rental fee basis, iii) through product sales and iv) through software license fees. Participation revenue generally includes a right to receive a share of our customers’ gaming revenue, typically as a share of net win but sometimes as a share of the handle or “coin in” which represents the total amount wagered.
Geographic Range
Geographically, a majority of our revenue is derived from, and majority of our non-current assets are attributable to our UK operations. The remainder of our revenue is derived from, and non-current assets attributable to, Greece, Canada, Italy and the rest of the world.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we earned approximately 72% of our revenue in the UK, 9% in Greece, 2% in Italy and the remaining 17% across the rest of the world. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we earned approximately 59%, 17%, 9% and 15% of our revenue in those regions, respectively.
For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we earned approximately 64% of our revenue in the UK, 10% in Greece, 3% in Italy and the remaining 23% across the rest of the world. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, we earned approximately 70%, 11%, 5% and 14% of our revenue in those regions, respectively.

As of June 30, 2021, our non-current assets (excluding goodwill) attribution approximately 79% in the UK, 11% in Greece, 2% in Italy, and 8% across the rest of the world.
Foreign Exchange
Our results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of the translation of foreign functional currencies into our reporting currency and the re-measurement of foreign currency transactions and balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. The largest geographic region in which we operate is the UK and the British pound (“GBP”) is considered to be our functional currency. Our reporting currency is the U.S. dollar (“USD”). Our results are translated from our functional currency of GBP into the reporting currency of USD using average rates for profit and loss transactions and applicable spot rates for period-end balances. The effect of translating our functional currency into our reporting currency, as well as translating the results of foreign subsidiaries that have a different functional currency into our functional currency, is reported separately in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we derived approximately 28% of our revenue from sales to customers outside the UK, compared to 41% during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we derived approximately 36% of our revenue from sales to customers outside the UK, compared to 30% during the six months ended June 30, 2020.
In the section “Results of Operations” below, currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP:USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP:USD rate. This is not a U.S. GAAP measure, but is one which management believes gives a clearer indication of results. In the tables below, variances in particular line items from period to period exclude currency translation movements, and currency translation impacts are shown independently.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain financial measures that are not compliant with U.S. GAAP (“Non-GAAP financial measures”), including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. In this discussion and analysis, we present certain non-GAAP financial measures, define and explain these measures and provide reconciliations to the most comparable U.S. GAAP measures. See “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below.
Results of Operations
Our results are affected by changes in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily between our functional currency (GBP) and our reporting currency (USD). During the three-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the average GBP:USD rates were 1.40 and 1.24, respectively. During the six-month periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the average GBP:USD rates were 1.39 and 1.27, respectively.

Revenue
Total reported revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2021, increased by $25.9 million, or 166%, to $41.5 million on a reported basis. This included an increase from Gaming of $12.0 million, Leisure of $10.9 million, Interactive of $2.4 million and Virtual Sports of $0.6 million. Favorable currency movements accounted for a $4.7 million impact. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, revenue increased by $21.2 million, or 136%, as detailed below:
● | Gaming revenue increased by $10.2 million, comprised of an increase in Service revenue of $7.3 million and an increase in Product sales of $2.9 million. The increase in Service revenue was primarily due to reopening of retail venues. |
● | Virtual Sports revenue decreased by $0.4 million, or 4.6%. This decrease included a $1.0 million decrease in Online Virtuals, $0.7 million of which was due to a one-time sales in the prior period, which itself was driven by the lack of live sports. This was partially offset by growth in Retail Virtuals of $0.6 million as retail venues reopened during the period. | |
● | Interactive revenue increased by $1.7 million, or 50.0%. This growth was driven by the addition of new customers and territories and the consistent launches of new high-quality content. | |
● | Leisure revenue increased by $9.7 million, comprised of an increase in Service revenue of $9.3 million and an increase in Product sales of $0.4 million. The increase in revenue was due to the reopening of venues during the period. |
Cost of Sales, excluding depreciation and amortization
Cost of Sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, increased by $7.9 million, or 280%, on a reported basis, to $10.7 million, including the impact of $1.2 million from unfavorable currency movements. Of this increase, $5.5 million was attributable to cost of Service and $2.4 million was attributable to cost of Product sales. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, cost of sales increased by $6.7 million, or 238%, as detailed below:
● | Gaming cost of sales increased by $4.1 million, comprised of an increase in Service costs of $2.2 million and a $1.9 million increase in Product costs. This increase was driven primarily by the reopening of retail venues. | |
● | Virtual Sports cost of sales decreased by $0.4 million, or 45.0%, driven by a one-off sale in the prior period comparable. | |
● | Interactive cost of sales increased by $0.4 million, or 112%. This increase was driven by the revenue growth in Interactive. | |
● | Leisure cost of sales increased by $2.5 million, comprised of an increase in Service costs of $2.4 million and an increase in Product costs of $0.2 million, which was driven primarily by the reopening of retail venues. |
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses increased by $14.0 million, or 125%, on a reported basis, to $25.1 million. This included $2.9 million of unfavorable currency movements. On a functional currency (at constant rate basis), SG&A increased by $11.1 million, or 100%. This increase was driven by staff returning from furlough as retail venues began to reopen ($6.6 million), additional fleet costs as staff returned to work ($0.7 million), additional distribution costs as markets started to reopen ($0.6 million), plus an increase in costs of $1.2 million for the provision following settlement with the Italian Tax Authorities in respect of an audit of the Italian Branch of Inspired Gaming (International) Limited for the period 2015-2017 in respect of the historic VAT treatment of supplies. The settlement includes an amount of $1.5 million in relation to VAT (of which $0.9 million had previously been provided for) plus interest of $0.3 million and penalties in the amount of $0.3 million which were levied at the lowest rate applicable under the relevant regime. As well as refinancing costs of $0.6 million.
Stock-based compensation
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an expense of $3.4 million with respect to outstanding awards. Of this expense, $1.9 million related to awards made under the 2021 Plan (including $1.4 million of upfront recognition) and $1.5 million related to awards made under the 2018 Plan. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the charge for stock-based compensation was $1.0 million. Of this expense, $0.9 million was related to awards made under the 2018 Plan and $0.1 million was related to costs from awards made under a 2016 long term incentive plan.
Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses
Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses decreased by $1.1 million to $0.1 million, on a reported basis. Both the 2021 and 2020 expenses were primarily integration costs in relation to the NTG acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.4 million, or 10.7%, to $11.9 million on a reported basis. This included the impact of unfavorable currency movements of $1.3 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, depreciation and amortization decreased by $2.7 million, or 20.7%, driven primarily by a decrease of $1.9 million in Gaming and $0.8 million in Leisure.
25 |
Net operating loss
During the period, net operating loss was $9.7 million compared to a net operating loss of $13.9 million in the prior period. The net operating loss improvement of $4.2 million was attributable to the increase in revenue due to the reopening of retail venues across the business as well as growth in Interactive. This net operating loss variance also included a $1.1 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation.
Interest expense
Net interest expense increased by $14.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, to $22.2 million, on a reported basis due to a $14.4 million write-off of previously capitalized debt fees following the refinancing in May 2021, a $0.7 million increase in debt interest and a $0.3 million exchange rate impact. These were offset by a $1.0m write-off of debt fees in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and a $0.4 million reduction in revolver interest.
Change in fair value of warrant liability
Change in fair value of warrant liability for the three months ended June 30, 2021, resulted in a $10.5 million charge. The charge was related to changes in liability accounting pursuant to the statement made by the Office of Chief Accountant of the SEC, released on April 12, 2021, informing market participants that warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies may require classification as a liability of the entity measured at fair value, with changes in fair value each period reported in earnings. The $10.5 million charge reflects the increase in the value of the warrants, driven by increases in the Company’s share price from $9.29 on March 31st, 2021 to $12.75 on June 30th, 2021.For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the change in fair value resulted in a $1.7 million charge.
Other finance income
Other finance income for the three months ended June 30, 2021, resulted in a $1.2 million charge compared to a $2.5 million charge in the three months ended June 30, 2020. This variance was driven by movements in the retranslation with respect to the principal balance of our senior debt facilities.
Income tax expense
Our effective tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2021, was 0.8% and our effective tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2020, was 0.2%.
Net loss
During the period, net loss was $43.8 million compared to a net loss of $26.2 million in the prior period. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, net loss increased by $12.6 million, primarily due to the increase in interest expense ($11.5 million) and increase in change in fair value of warrant liability ($7.6 million), partly offset by the decrease in net operating loss ($5.3 million).
Three Months ended June 30, 2021, compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2020 – Gaming Segment
We generate revenue from our Gaming segment through the selling and rental of our gaming machines. We receive rental fees for machines, typically on a long-term contract basis, on both a participation and fixed fee basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and any relevant regulatory levies) from gaming terminals placed in our customers’ facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.
Revenue growth for our Gaming business is principally driven by the number of operator customers we have, the number of Gaming machines in operation, the net win performance of the machines and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

Gaming Segment, key events that affected results for the Three Months ended June 30, 2021
Total Gaming Customer Gross Win per unit per day (in our functional currency, GBP) increased by £35.08, or 288% which was due to the impact of COVID-19. In the UK, retail venues were closed for the majority of the quarter ended June 30, 2020, as compared to the current period when retail venues reopened in April and May 2021 (for further detail see segment revenue discussion below). In Greece, retail venues reopened in late May 2021 while in Italy retail venues began reopening in June 2021. The participation rate decreased from 6.6% to 6.0% primarily due to a higher proportion of UK venues operating in 2021 when compared to the same quarter in 2020 as UK share terms are lower (due to the fact we have higher gross win levels in the UK) than the total blended Gaming average.
During the period, Inspired sold 71 “Valor™” terminals to a number of customers in Illinois, increasing the total number of North American unit sales since launch in December 2019 to 540.
In the UK market, momentum was gained with our new “Community King” three-player product.
In addition, we have been upgrading our UK Gaming estate with the installation of 134 “Flex” and 57 “Prismatic” terminals on three-year lease agreements.

Gaming Segment Revenue
During the period, Gaming revenue increased by $12.0 million, or 284%, to $16.2 million on a reported basis. This increase included a favorable currency impact of $1.8 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, Gaming revenue increased by $10.2 million, or 242% as Gaming retail venues reopened during the period (see market information below for more detail) albeit with some restrictions for some of the period.
Service revenue increased by $8.7 million to $12.8 million on a reported basis. This increased included favorable currency movements of $1.4 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, Gaming Service revenue increased by $7.3 million, or 179%. This was driven by an increase in UK sales (including Licensed Betting Offices (“LBO”) and UK other) of $6.9 million primarily driven by the reopening of retail venues. UK LBO had additional two months trading verses quarter two 2020, albeit with one of these months at fifty percent capacity and UK other venues had an additional one month trading verses quarter two 2020. Greece revenue increased by $0.4 million, driven by the reopening of retail venues, Greece trading for an additional two weeks verses last period. Italy service revenue was unchanged as COVID-19 restrictions mostly remained in place during the period.
Product revenue increased by $3.2 million to $3.4 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, revenue increased by $2.9 million. This was driven by Product sales of $1.7 million in the UK markets, $1.1 million of Valor terminal sales in North America and $0.6 million of spare part sales.
Gaming Segment Operating Income
Cost of sales (excluding depreciation and amortization) increased by $4.8 million to $6.0 million on a reported basis, which included adverse currency movements of $0.7 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, Gaming cost of sales increased by $4.1 million, or 346%. Cost of Service increased by $2.2 million driven by the reopening of retail venues. Cost of Product increased by $1.9 million driven by the increase in Product revenue.
SG&A expense increased by $3.6 million on a reported basis. This increase included the impact of unfavorable currency movements of $0.7 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, Gaming SG&A increased by $2.9 million, or 95.6%. This was driven by staff returning from furlough as retail venues and markets reopened.
Depreciation and amortization declined by $1.2 million on a reported basis, or 17.1%. This included the impact of unfavorable currency movements of $0.7 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate basis), Gaming depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.9 million, or 27.1%. This was driven by a decrease in depreciation in the UK LBO and Greece markets.
Operating Loss improved by $4.4 million on a reported basis, from a loss of $7.1 million to a loss of $2.7 million. This was primarily due to the increase in revenue as retail venues reopened, partly offset by increased costs as staff returned from furlough as well as unfavorable currency movements of $0.5 million.

Three Months ended June 30, 2021, compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2020 – Virtual Sports Segment
We generate revenue from our Virtual Sports segment through the licensing of our products. We receive fees in exchange for the licensing of our products, typically on a long-term contract basis, on a participation basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and other promotional costs and any relevant regulatory levies) from Virtual Sports content placed on our customers’ websites or in our customers’ facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.
Revenue growth for our Virtual Sports segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the net win performance of the games and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

Virtual Sports Segment, key events that affected results for the Three Months ended June 30, 2021
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, our key retail territories in the UK, Ireland, Italy and Greece reopened at different stages in the quarter. In the prior year period, only Greece and Italy had reopened during June of 2020. As a result, retail recurring revenues increased by $0.9 million.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we launched three channels of our V-Play Soccer 3.0 product with Stoiximan, the largest online operator in Greece, using our cloud streaming solution.
In Turkey we launched our new Euro Soccer Marbles product alongside a new Parlay Boost feature with Misli via our proprietary Virtual Plug & PlayTM (“VPP”) platform.
A suite of new products including Marbles, Matchday Soccer Ultra and the new Penalty shootout soccer product were launched in Italy on both retail and online channels.
We signed an extension to our existing agreement with Entain enabling betMGM, Borgata and PartyCasino to launch VPP into multiple U.S. states.
Updates to V-Play Soccer 3.0 and V-Play Matchday Soccer were launched in OPAP venues in Greece along with a new Euro Tournament product enabling bets to be placed on a Virtual Soccer tournament which was launched alongside the European soccer tournament in June.
A contract extension was signed with Boylesports covering the continued provision of Virtual Sports across retail betting shops in the UK and Ireland.

Virtual Sports Segment revenue
During the period, revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 7.5%, on a reported basis. This increase included the impact of favorable currency movements of $0.9 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, revenue decreased by $0.4 million, or 4.6%. This decrease was driven by a $1.0 million decline in Online Virtuals of which $0.7 million stemmed from one-time sales of Virtual Sports events in the prior year period and a $0.4 million decline in Online recurring revenue resulting from the high activity on Online Virtuals in the prior year period, both of which were due to the limited live sports betting available during COVID-19 lockdowns. Despite the decline in the quarter, Online revenues remain significantly higher than pre-COVID-19 levels. This was partially offset by growth in recurring Retail Virtuals of $0.9 million as retail venues reopened during the period.
Virtual Sports Segment operating income
Cost of Service decreased by $0.3 million to $0.5 million on a reported basis. This decrease included the impact of $0.1 million from adverse currency movements. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, cost of Service decreased by $0.4 million, or 45.0%, driven by the decrease in Online Virtuals revenue.
SG&A expenses increased by $1.9 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, SG&A expenses increased by $1.6 million, or 223%. This was driven by a $1.2 million increase for the provision following settlement with the Italian Tax Authorities in respect of an audit of the Italian Branch of Inspired Gaming (International) Limited for the period 2015-2017 in respect of the historic VAT treatment of supplies, as well as increase in costs as staff returning from furlough as retail venues.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.2 million on a reported and functional currency (at constant rate) basis.
Operating profit decreased by $0.9 million on a reported basis which included the impact of favorable currency movements of $0.6 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, operating profit decreased by $1.4 million. This was primarily due to the $1.6 million increase in SG&A following the settlement with the Italian Tax Authorities.

Three Months ended June 30, 2021, compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2020 – Interactive Segment
We generate revenue from our Interactive segment through the licensing of our products. We receive fees in exchange for the licensing of our products, typically on a long-term contract basis, on a participation basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and other promotional costs and any relevant regulatory levies) from Interactive content placed on our customers’ websites. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.
Revenue growth for our Interactive segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the number of live games, the net win performance of the games and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

Interactive Segment revenue
During the period, revenue increased by $2.4 million, or 69.0%, on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, revenue increased by $1.7 million, or 50.0%. This was driven by recurring revenue growth due to the consistent launch of new content across the estate, growth in the customer base in new, emerging and core markets and increased promotional activity through exclusive deals with tier-one customers.

Interactive Segment operating income
Cost of Service increased by $0.5 million to $0.9 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, cost of Service increased by $0.4 million due to increased third party platform provider costs, in line with the revenue increase for the period.
SG&A expenses increased by $0.7 million on a reported basis. This increase included the impact of unfavorable currency movements of $0.1 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, SG&A increased by $0.6 million driven by the investment in the segment to help drive the increasing revenues.
Depreciation and amortization increased by $0.3 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, depreciation and amortization increased by $0.2 million.
Operating profit increased by $0.8 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis operating profit increased by $0.4 million. This was primarily due to the increase in revenue, partly offset by the increase in cost of sales and SG&A.
Three Months ended June 30, 2021, compared to Three Months ended June 30, 2020 – Leisure Segment
We generate revenue from our Leisure segment through the rental of our gaming and amusement machines. We receive rental fees for machines, typically on a long-term contract basis, on both a participation and fixed fee basis, with our newer digital pub machines typically contracted on a fixed fee basis. Our participation contracts are typically structured to pay us a percentage of net win (defined as net revenue to our operator customers, after deducting player winnings, free bets or plays and any relevant regulatory levies) from gaming terminals placed in our customers’ facilities. Typically, we recognize revenue from these arrangements on a daily basis over the term of the contract.
Revenue growth for our Leisure segment is principally driven by the number of customers we have, the number of gaming machines in operation, the net win performance of the machines and the net win percentage that we receive pursuant to our contracts with our customers.

Revenue
Total reported revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2021, decreased by $3.6 million, or 5.3%, to $64.3 million on a reported basis. This included an increase from Interactive of $5.5 million, offset by declines in Gaming of $2.2 million, Virtual Sports of $0.9 million, and Leisure of $6.0 million. Favorable currency movements accounted for a $5.5 million impact. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, revenue decreased by $9.1 million, or 13.3%, as detailed below:
● | Gaming revenue decreased by $4.3 million, comprised of a decrease in Service revenue of $3.8 million and a decrease in Product sales of $0.6 million. The decrease in Service revenue includes VAT-related revenue of $2.9 million generated in the current period (using prior year exchange rate). Excluding the VAT-related revenue, Service revenue would have declined by $6.7 million. This was primarily due to the COVID-19 closures, which effected a longer closure during the period than during the comparable prior period. |
● | Virtual Sports revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 14.5%. This decrease included a $2.9 million decrease in retail revenue primarily as a result of the COVID-19 closures, particularly in the first quarter of 2021. This was partially offset by growth in Online Virtuals of $0.6 million. | |
● | Interactive revenue increased by $4.3 million, or 78.2%. This growth was driven by the addition of new customers and territories and the consistent launch of new high-quality content |
● | Leisure revenue decreased by $7.0 million, comprised of a decrease in Service revenue of $6.7 million and a decrease in Product sales of $0.3 million. The decline in revenue was due to the impact of the COVID-19 closures, as venues were closed during a longer portion of the period than in the prior comparable period. |
Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization
Cost of sales, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased by $1.5 million, or 8.4%, on a reported basis, to $16.0 million, including the impact of $1.4 million from unfavorable currency movements. Of this decrease, $0.8 million was attributable to cost of Service and $0.6 million was attributable to cost of Product sales. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, cost of sales decreased by $2.8 million, or 16.2%, reflecting the revenue reductions resulting from the COVID-19 closures.
Selling, general and administrative expenses
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses remained unchanged from the prior year on a reported basis at $38.9 million. This included $3.4 million of unfavorable currency movements. On a functional currency (at constant rate basis), SG&A decreased by $3.7 million, or 9.3%. This decrease was driven primarily by permanent synergy and other savings.

Stock-based compensation
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recorded an expense of $4.8 million with respect to outstanding awards. Of this expense, $1.9 million related to awards made under the 2021 Plan (including $1.4 million of upfront recognition) and $2.9 million related to awards made under the 2018 Plan. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the charge for stock-based compensation was $2.0 million. Of this expense, $1.8 million related to awards made under the 2018 Plan and $0.2 million related to costs from awards made under a 2016 long term incentive plan.
Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses
Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses decreased by $2.9 million to $1.5 million on a reported basis. Both the 2021 and 2020 expenses were primarily integration costs in relation to the NTG acquisition.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $0.9 million, or 3.5%, to $25.0 million on a reported basis. This included the impact of unfavorable currency movements of $2.3 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, depreciation and amortization decreased by $3.2 million, or 12.4%, driven primarily by a decrease of $3.2 million in Gaming due to certain assets being fully written down.
Net operating loss
During the period, net operating loss was $21.9 million compared to a net operating loss of $21.1 million in the prior period. The increase of $0.8 million in operating loss on a reported basis was attributable to a $2.2 million unfavorable impact from foreign currency translation. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, net operating loss improved by $1.5 million, or 6.8%. This was attributable to the cost savings across our Gaming, Virtual Sports and Leisure segments as well as the decrease in acquisition and integration related transaction expenses. This was partly offset by the decrease of revenue driven by the COVID-19 closures.
Interest expense
Net interest expense increased by $16.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, to $30.8 million, on a reported basis, due to a $14.4 million write-off of capitalized debt fees on refinancing, a $2.1 million increase in debt interest due to capitalization of debt interest in 2020 increasing debt levels and debt margin and $0.9 million exchange rate impact.

Change in fair value of warrant liability
Change in fair value of warrant liability for the six months ended June 30, 2021, resulted in a $13.5 million charge. This charge reflects the increase in the value of the warrants, driven by increases in the Company’s share price from $6.58 on December 31st, 2020 to $12.75 on June 30th, 2021.For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the change in fair value resulted in a $5.9 million credit.
Other finance income
Other finance income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, resulted in a $5.2 million credit compared to a $6.2 million charge in the six months ended June 30, 2020. This variance was driven by movements in the retranslation with respect to the principal balance of the senior debt facilities.
Income tax expense
Our effective tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2021, was (0.6%) and our effective tax rate for the period ended June 30, 2020, was 0.8%.
Net loss
During the period, net loss was $60.5 million compared to a net loss of $36.0 million in the prior period. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, net loss increased by $18.6 million, primarily due to the decline in revenue, increase in interest expense and the increase in change in fair value of warrant liability.

Gaming Segment, key events that affected results for the Six Months ended June 30, 2021
Total Gaming Customer Gross Win per unit per day (in our functional currency, GBP) decreased by £14.39, or 37.6%, which was due to the impact of COVID-19. During the six month period ended June 30, retail venues were in operation for approximately 35% in 2021, compared to approximately 50% in 2020. The participation rate decreased from 6.6% to 6.0% primarily due to a higher proportion of UK venues operating in 2021 when compared to the same quarter in 2020 as UK share terms are lower than the total blended Gaming average.
Inspired received VAT-related revenue of $3.1 million in January 2021 from a major UK customer. This payment has been recorded as revenue in our results.
During the period, Inspired sold 111 “Valor™” terminals to a number of customers in Illinois, increasing the total number of North American unit sales since launch in December 2019 to 540. Retail venues in Illinois were shut down during January 2021, which negatively impacted sales during this period. As of February 2021, all eleven regions in Illinois had reopened.
During the period, Inspired delivered our first sales to Western Canada Lottery Corporation (“WCLC”), our second jurisdiction in North America. Inspired recorded the sale of 100 “Valor™” terminals to WCLC during March 2021, generating revenue of $1.6 million.
Inspired furthered its relationship with a major customer in the Dutch market with the sale and delivery of an additional 222 “Analogue” terminals during the period.
In the UK market, Inspired continued to upgrade the UK Gaming estate with the installation of over 220 “Flex” and 140 “Prismatic” terminals through a combination of outright sales and lease agreements. These sales also include content agreements which deliver recurring revenues for the next four to five years.

Gaming Segment Revenue
During the period, Gaming revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 7.4%, to $27.0 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, Gaming revenue decreased by $4.3 million, or 14.9%. This was partially offset by favorable currency movements of $2.2 million.
Service revenue decreased by $2.3 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, Gaming Service revenue decreased by $3.8 million, or 18.3%, to $18.4 million. This was driven by a decline in UK sales (including LBO and UK other) of $3.8 million primarily driven by the COVID-19 closures, with UK LBO having an additional three weeks of lockdown and a further four weeks at 50% capacity versus the prior period and UK other being closed for an additional two months in the current period. Greece and Italy experienced revenue declines of $2.1 million and $0.7 million, respectively, driven by the COVID-19 closures as both markets experienced additional three months of additional lockdowns compared to the prior period. This was partially offset by $2.9 million of VAT-related revenue and favorable currency movements of $1.5 million.
Product revenue increased by $0.1 million to $8.6 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, revenue decreased by $0.6 million, or 6.6%.
Gaming Segment Operating Income
Operating loss improved by $1.9 million on a reported basis, from a loss of $8.3 million to a loss of $6.3 million, including unfavorable currency movements of $0.9 million On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, Gaming operating loss improved by $2.9 million. This was primarily due to the decrease in revenue, cost of sales, SG&A expenses driven by the COVID-19 closures, as well as a reduction in depreciation particularly in UK LBO as certain assets have been fully written down.

Virtual Sports Segment, key events that affected results for the Six Months ended June 30, 2021
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our key retail territories in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Italy, Greece, and Belgium were in full lockdown due to the COVID-19 closures for the first quarter, with Greece reopening mid-April, the UK and Ireland opening mid-May and a staged reopening in Italy throughout June. In the same period in the prior year only half of March 2020 was impacted by land-based closures in the first quarter with Greece and Italy reopening in June 2020. All periods were affected by closures during the six months ended June 30, 2021 whereas only three and a half months were affected during the six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, the six months ended June 30, 2021 was in recovery from the previous lockdown period. As a result, retail recurring revenues declined by $2.4 million.

Virtual Sports Segment revenue.
During the period, revenue decreased by $0.9 million, or 5.7%, on a reported basis. This decrease included the impact of favorable currency movements of $1.4 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 14.5%. This decrease was driven by a $2.9 million decrease in retail revenue due to the COVID-19 closures and a decline of $0.5 million from historical license fee amortization contracts reaching their expiration. This decline was partially offset by growth in recurring Online Virtuals of $1.4 million. Online revenues continue to be significantly higher than pre Covid levels.

Virtual Sports Segment operating income
Operating profit decreased by $2.2 million on a reported basis which included the impact of favorable currency movements of $0.8 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis operating profit decreased by $3.0 million. This was primarily due to the decrease in revenues and cost of sales resulting from COVID-19 closures and the increase in SG&A from the settlement with the Italian Tax Authorities.

Interactive Segment operating income
Operating profit increased by $3.4 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis operating profit increased by $2.7 million.

Leisure Segment Revenue
During the period, revenue decreased by $6.0 million, or 33.7%, to $11.8 million on a reported basis. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis, revenue decreased by $7.0 million, or 39.0%.
Service revenue decreased by $5.7 million on a reported basis to $10.7 million. This included an adverse currency impact of $0.9 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis service revenue decreased by $6.7 million. This was driven by the COVID-19 closures, with all of the major sectors of the Leisure segment experiencing closures for a portion of the period as well as social distancing restrictions once they had reopened.
Leisure Segment Operating Income
Operating loss increased by $4.1 million on a reported basis from a loss of $8.0 million to a loss of $12.1 million, which included the impact of unfavorable currency movements of $1.4 million. On a functional currency (at constant rate) basis operating loss increased by $2.6 million. This was primarily due to the decrease in revenue, offset by cost of sales and SG&A savings all driven by COVID-19 closures.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We use these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our industry to measure performance. For these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to standard U.S. GAAP financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for defining and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, even if they have similar labels. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial measures.
53 |
We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:
EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustments. Such additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension schemes. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business. This does not include any adjustments related to COVID-19.
We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities). Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.
Functional Currency at Constant rate. Currency impacts discussed have been calculated as the current-period average GBP: USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.
Currency Movement represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional currency (at constant rate) basis.
Reconciliations from net loss, as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, to Adjusted EBITDA are shown below.

Notes to Adjusted EBITDA reconciliation tables above:
(1) | “Pension charges” are profit and loss charges included within selling, general and administrative expenses, relating to a defined benefit scheme which was closed to new entrants in 1999 and to future accrual in 2010. As well as the amortization of net loss, the figure also includes charges relating to the Pension Protection Fund (which were historically borne by the pension scheme) and a small amount of associated professional services expenses. These costs are included within Corporate Functions. |
58 |
(2) | “Costs of group restructure” include redundancy costs, Payments In Lieu of Notice costs, any associated employer taxes and costs associated with onerous property leases. To qualify as being an adjusting item, costs must be part of a large restructuring project, which will net save ongoing future costs. These costs were primarily incurred in connection with the property consolidation. |
(3) | Acquisition and integration related transaction expenses, Stock-based compensation expense, Depreciation and amortization, Total other expense, net and Income tax are as described above in the Results of Operations line item discussions. Total expense, net includes interest income, interest expense, change in fair value of earnout liability, change in fair value of derivative liability and other finance income. |
(4) | In May 2021, the Company refinanced its debt. These are the one-off fees as a result of the refinance. |
(5) | “Italian tax related costs relating to prior years invoicing” relate to a settlement with the Italian Tax Authorities in respect of an audit of the Italian Branch of Inspired Gaming (International) Limited for the period 2015-2017 in respect of the historic VAT treatment of supplies. |
(6) | In April 2020, the Company disposed of its 40% non-controlling equity interest in Innov8 Gaming Limited which resulted in the investment of $0.7 million being written off. |
(7) | Exchange rate in the table is calculated by dividing the USD Adjusted EBITDA by the GBP Adjusted EBITDA, therefore this could be slightly different from the average rate during the period depending on timing of transactions. |

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash outflow used by operating activities was $12.8 million, compared to a $10.2 million inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2020, representing a $23.0 million decrease in cash generation driven by COVID-19 related closures and interest expense timing differences resulting in payments of $17.5 million compared to $0.4 million in the prior period. In addition, a larger VAT payment made in the three months ended March 31, 2021 resulted in an $7.7 million higher outflow compared to the prior period.
Amortization of debt fees increased by $15.1 million to $16.3 million due to the write-off in May 2021 of capitalized debt fees totaling $14.4 million following the Company refinancing. The remainder of the current year’s non-cash interest expense related to amortization of debt fees incurred in relation to the business refinancing in October 2019 up to the refinancing. Post refinancing the amortization of debt fees related to those incurred and capitalized as part of the May 2021 refinancing. The prior year’s non-cash interest expense related to amortization of debt fees incurred in relation to the business refinancing in October 2019.
Change in fair value of derivative and warrant liabilities and stock-based compensation expense increased by $22.7 million, from an outflow of $3.4 million to an inflow of $19.3 million. Movements in the fair valuation of warrant liabilities increased the inflow by $19.3 million, $2.8 million related to stock-based compensation expense and $0.4 million related to the movement in cross-currency swaps.
Foreign currency translation on senior bank debt and cross currency swaps resulted in a loss in the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $4.6 million as a result of the movement in exchange rates during the period, compared to a $6.6 million gain in the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Depreciation and amortization decreased by $1.7 million to $26.2 million with reductions of a $1.5 million in amortization of intangible assets, $0.5 million in machine depreciation and $0.7 million relating to the amortization of Right of Use assets under ASC 842 offset through an increase of $1.0 million in development costs and licenses amortization.
60 |
Other net cash utilized by operating activities decreased by $22.7 million, to a $9.5 million outflow following the significant impact of the COVID-19 closures. Movements in other creditor levels resulted in a $13.2 million higher outflow in the six months ended June 30, 2021 which was largely due to the different timing of interest payments becoming payable following the refinancing in May 2021. A high tax accrual level at the start of 2021 resulted in a net $6.8 million adverse movement in the six months ended June 30, 2021. Further adverse movements were also seen on deferred revenue creditors ($3.2 million) and accounts receivable ($4.8 million), caused by the variability of trading levels caused by COVID-19, partly offset by improved inventory ($4.8 million). Many of the operating activity movements were impacted by the COVID-19 closures, however, throughout the period, management have actively managed cash levels to seek to optimize our liquidity position.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $3.3 million to $12.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2021, with lower spend on gaming machines as a result of the COVID-19 closures.
Net cash generated by financing activities
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, net cash generated by financing activities was an inflow of $1.0 million, compared to a $18.6 million inflow in the six months ended June 30, 2020. The inflow in the six months ended June 30, 2021 related to the net movement from the May 2021 refinancing. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, an increase in the amount drawn on the revolver provided a $22.3 million inflow which was partly offset by $3.1 million of debt fees incurred.
Funding Needs and Sources
To fund our obligations we have relied historically on a combination of cash flows provided by operations and the incurrence of additional debt or the refinancing of existing debt. As of June 30, 2021, we had liquidity of $24.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and a further $27.6 million of an undrawn revolver facility. This compares to $39.9 million of cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2020 but $24.7 million drawn on the revolver facility. We had a working capital outflow of $9.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, compared to an $13.2 million inflow for the six months ended June 30, 2020. The level of our working capital surplus or deficit varies with the level of machine production we are undertaking and our capitalization as well as the seasonality evident in some of the businesses purchased as part of the NTG Acquisition. In periods with minimal machine volumes and capital spend, our working capital is more stable. In periods where significant numbers of machines are being produced, the levels of inventory and creditors are higher than typical and there is a natural timing difference between converting the stock into sellable or capitalized plant and settling payments to suppliers. These factors, along with movements in trading activity levels which have been seen during 2020 and 2021 following the COVID-19 closures, can result in significant working capital volatility. In periods of low activity, our working capital volatility is reduced. Working capital is reviewed and managed with the aim of ensuring that current liabilities are covered by the level of cash held and the expected level of short-term receipts.
Some of our business operations require cash to be held within the machines. As of June 30, 2021, $4.6 million of our $24.5 million of cash and cash equivalents were held as operational floats within the machines.
Management currently believes that despite the reduced trading levels caused by the COVID-19 closures, the Company’s cash balances on hand, cash flows expected to be generated from operations, and the ability to control and defer capital projects will be sufficient to fund the Company’s net cash requirements through August 2022.

Debt Covenants
Under our debt facilities in place as of June 30, 2021 we are not subject to covenant testing on the Senior Secured Notes. We are, however, subject to covenant testing at the level of Inspired Entertainment Inc., the ultimate holding company, on our Super Senior Revolving Credit Facility which requires the Company to maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.25x on the test date for the relevant period ending June 30, 2021, stepping down to 6.0x on March 31, 2022, 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Financial Covenant does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants. As the RCF has never been drawn at any point since being in place, no covenant testing was required at June 30, 2021.
Under our debt facilities in place as of June 30, 2020 we are subject to covenant testing on the Senior Secured Notes. The covenant testing is set at the level of Inspired Entertainment Inc., the ultimate holding company, and consists of a test on Leverage (Consolidated Total Net Debt/Consolidated Pro Forma EBITDA) and a test on the level of capital expenditure. These are measured under U.S. GAAP. Leverage was tested at quarterly intervals commencing for the period ending June 30, 2020 and capital expenditure was tested annually commencing on December 31, 2019.
Prior to reaching our first leverage covenant test on June 30, 2020, the covenants were reset as a direct result of the COVID-19 closures and subsequent loss of trading as a result of government lockdowns in many key trading countries around the world. Formal agreement of the revised covenants was achieved on June 25, 2020.
There were no breaches of the debt covenants in the periods ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020.
Liens and Encumbrances
As of June 30, 2021, our senior bank debt was secured by the imposition of a fixed and floating charge in favor of the lender over all the assets of the Company and certain of the Company’s subsidiaries.

The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions. We exercise considerable judgment with respect to establishing sound accounting policies and in making estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, our recognition of revenue and expenses, and our disclosure of commitments and contingencies at the date of the consolidated financial statements. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates and judgments. We base our estimates and judgments on a variety of factors, including our historical experience, knowledge of our business and industry and current and expected economic conditions, that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. We periodically re-evaluate our estimates and assumptions with respect to these judgments and modify our approach when circumstances indicate that modifications are necessary. While we believe that the factors we evaluate provide us with a meaningful basis for establishing and applying sound accounting policies, we cannot guarantee that the results will always be accurate. Since the determination of these estimates requires the exercise of judgment, actual results could differ from such estimates.
For a discussion of other recently issued accounting standards, and assessments as to their impacts on the Company, see Nature of Operations, Management’s Plans and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this report.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our principal market risks are our exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Following the Company’s refinance in May 2021, the external borrowings of £235.0 million ($324.7 million) are provided at a fixed rate. Therefore movements in rates such as LIBOR do not impact on the current borrowings and the only fluctuation that is expected to be reported will be that solely caused by movements in the exchange rates between the Company’s functional currency and its reporting currency.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
Our operations are conducted in various countries around the world and we receive revenue and pay expenses from these operations in a number of different currencies. As such, our earnings are subject to movements in foreign currency exchange rates when transactions are denominated in (i) currencies other than GBP, which is our functional currency, or (ii) the functional currencies of our subsidiaries, which is not necessarily GBP. Excluding intercompany balances, our Euro functional currency net assets total approximately $7.8 million and our US Dollar functional currency net liabilities total approximately $26.0 million. We use a sensitivity analysis model to measure the impact of a 10% adverse movement of foreign currency exchange rates against the US Dollar. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Euro and the US Dollar relative to GBP as of June 30, 2021 would result in translation adjustments of approximately $0.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, recorded in other comprehensive loss.
Included within our trading results are earnings outside of our functional currency. Retained losses earned in Euros and in US Dollars in the six months ended June 30, 2021 were €1.3 million and $20.4 million, respectively. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the value of the Euro and the US Dollar relative to GBP as of June 30, 2021 would result in translation adjustments of approximately $0.1million and $1.9 million, respectively, recorded in trading operations.
The majority of the Company’s trading is in GBP, the functional currency, although the reporting currency of the Company is the US Dollar. As such, changes in the GBP:USD exchange rate have an effect on the Company’s results. A 10% weakening of GBP against the US Dollar would change the trading operational results by approximately $3.4 million and would result in translation adjustments of approximately $13.0 million, recorded in other comprehensive loss.
For further information regarding the new external borrowings, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, “Long Term and Other Debt”.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Certifying Officers, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer (together, the “Certifying Officers”), we carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Based on the foregoing, our Certifying Officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2021, due to the material weakness described in Item 9A of Amendment No. 1 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 10, 2021. Management have implemented additional controls designed to remediate this material weakness; however, these controls have not operated effectively over a sufficient period of time in order to conclude that the material weakness has been fully remediated.
Notwithstanding the identified material weakness and management’s assessment that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2021, management believes that the interim consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and disclosures as of and for the periods presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act) during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we may become involved in lawsuits and legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. While we believe that, currently, we have no such matters that are material, there can be no assurance that existing or new matters arising in the ordinary course of business will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to a high degree of risk. In addition to information set forth in this report, including the risk factors below, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and Amendment No. 1 thereto. You should carefully read and assess all of these risk factors. Any of these risks could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects, and cause the value of our common stock to decline, which could cause investors in our common stock to lose all or part of their investments. Other than as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and Amendment No. 1 thereto.

The ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic is adversely affecting our business.
Our business continues to be affected by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and future epidemics or pandemics could do the same.. Governments in all of the major jurisdictions in which our land-based customers operate have now reopened land-based venues. No restrictions remain in the United Kingdom. There remains an element of social distancing in venues in Greece and in Italy there are restrictions in place that state only fully vaccinated people can enter our venues. It remains uncertain as to whether and when further restrictions or closures could happen in each jurisdiction and how long they may last. The economic impact of the pandemic may still result in the permanent closure of certain venues and/or a decrease in the willingness or ability of consumers to engage in gambling activities or to be able to access land-based gaming to the same extent, both during and possibly after the pandemic. The pandemic may also adversely affect a broad range of our operations, including our ability to retain and recruit employees, obtain and ship our products, our ability to continue to develop new products and services as effectively when remote working as well as the ability of our customers to pay outstanding amounts due to us. The pandemic and the economic impact on employment may reduce the disposable incomes of players and may result in a decrease in the number of customers willing to visit retail locations. More information about the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business can be found in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Restrictions in our existing borrowings, including covenants set forth in our existing debt facilities, or any other indebtedness we may incur in the future, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, or results of operations, and our ability to make distributions to stockholders and the value of our common stock.
Our existing borrowings, and any other indebtedness we may enter into, may limit our ability to, among other things:
● | incur or guarantee additional debt; | |
● | make distributions or dividends on or redeem or repurchase shares of common stock; | |
● | make certain investments and acquisitions; | |
● | make capital expenditures; | |
● | incur certain liens or permit them to exist; | |
● | enter into certain types of transactions with affiliates; | |
● | acquire, merge or consolidate with another company; and | |
● | transfer, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets. |
The provisions of our existing borrowings may affect our ability to obtain future financing and pursue attractive business opportunities and our flexibility in planning for, and reacting to, changes in business conditions.
As of June 30, 2021, our senior debt consisted of an aggregate of £235.0 million ($324.8 million) of Senior Secured Notes (carrying an interest rate of 7.875% per annum, and maturing on June 1, 2026), and we had £20 million ($27.6 million) of credit facility borrowings available under the RCF Agreement (see Note 4).
The Indenture governing the Senior Secured Notes contains incurrence covenants that limit the ability of the Company and the Company’s restricted subsidiaries to, among other things, (i) incur or guarantee additional debt and issue certain preferred stock of restricted subsidiaries; (ii) create or incur certain liens; (iii) make restricted payments, including dividends or distributions to the Company’s stockholders or repurchase the Company’s stock; (iv) prepay or redeem subordinated debt; (v) make certain investments, including participating joint ventures; (vi) create encumbrances or restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions by restricted subsidiaries; (vii) sell assets, or consolidate or merge with or into other companies; (viii) sell or transfer all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or those of the Company’s subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; (ix) engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (x) create unrestricted subsidiaries. Certain of these covenants will be suspended if and for so long as the Senior Secured Notes have investment grade ratings from any two of Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., Standard & Poor’s Investors Ratings Services and Fitch Ratings, Inc. These covenants are subject to exceptions and qualifications as set forth in the Indenture.

The RCF Agreement governing credit facility borrowings contains various covenants (which include restrictions regarding the incurrence of liens, the incurrence of indebtedness by the Company’s subsidiaries and fundamental changes, subject in each case to certain exceptions), representations, warranties, limitations and events of default (which include non-payment, breach of obligations under the financing documents, cross-default, insolvency and litigation) customary for similar facilities for similarly rated borrowers and subject to customary carve-outs and grace periods. Following the occurrence of an event of default which has not been waived or remedied, the Lenders who represent more than 66.67% of total commitments under the RCF may, subject to the terms of an intercreditor agreement (which governs the relationship between the Lenders and the holders of the Senior Secured Notes), instruct the agent to (i) accelerate the RCF Loans, (ii) instruct the security agent to enforce the transaction security and/or (iii) exercise any other remedies available to the Lenders.
The RCF Agreement requires that the Company maintain a maximum consolidated senior secured net leverage ratio of 6.25x on the test date for the relevant period ending June 30, 2021, stepping down to 6.0x on March 31, 2022, 5.75x on March 31, 2023 and 5.50x from March 31, 2024 and thereafter (the “RCF Financial Covenant”). The RCF Financial Covenant is calculated as the ratio of consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated pro forma EBITDA (defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense) for the 12-month period preceding the relevant quarterly testing date and is tested quarterly on a rolling basis, subject to the Initial Facility (as defined in the RCF Agreement) being drawn on the relevant test date. The RCF Agreement does not include a minimum interest coverage ratio or other financial covenants.
Sales of substantial numbers of our shares by our largest stockholders may adversely impact the market price of our shares.
Our two largest stockholders collectively hold approximately 24.5% of our outstanding common stock as of August 9, 2021. If any of our large stockholders sell substantial amounts of their shares in the public market, the market price of our common stock could decrease significantly. In addition, the perception in the public market that our other large stockholders will sell shares of common stock could also depress our market price. A decline in the price of the shares of our common stock could impede our ability to raise capital through the issuance of additional shares or other equity securities. Moreover, any such decline could result in our common stock trading at prices significantly below the price you paid.
Material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting could result in errors in our reported results or disclosures that are not complete or accurate.
We are responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. Our management identified a material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting in connection with the restatement of our financial statements which resulted from the reconsideration of the treatment of our warrants (see Part II, Item 9A (“Controls and Procedures”) of our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A filed with the SEC on May 10, 2021). Management has implemented additional controls designed to remediate this material weakness; however, these controls have not operated effectively over a sufficient period of time in order to conclude that the material weakness has been fully remediated. In addition, the adoption of any new accounting standards may require us to add new or change existing internal controls, and we are currently undertaking an ERP system implementation, which could materially impact our internal control over financial reporting. If we cannot maintain and execute adequate internal control over financial reporting or when necessary implement new or improved controls that provide reasonable assurance of the reliability of the financial reporting and preparation of our financial statements for external use, we may suffer harm to our reputation, fail to meet our public reporting requirements on a timely basis or be unable to properly report on our business and our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition, which could subject us to litigation or investigations requiring management resources and payment of legal and other expenses, negatively affect investor confidence in our financial statements and adversely impact our stock price. Additionally, the inherent limitations of internal controls over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all misstatements or fraud, regardless of the adequacy of those controls.
