Executive Comments

Gary A. Vecchiarelli, Galaxy’s CFO commented, “We are very pleased with our continued progress in the third quarter.  Our top and bottom lines continue to grow as this quarter represents another record breaking period for our Company.”  Mr. Vecchiarelli added, “We also finished the quarter with almost $2 million in cash.  The refinancing transaction has changed the financial profile of our Company and provided us with the working capital and flexibility we need to expand rapidly.”

The Company’s CEO Robert B. Saucier added, “When reporting our results, it’s always a pleasure to simply say, ‘the numbers speak for themselves.’  But beyond our Company’s fiscal performance, what excites me most are the investments we are making to stimulate a compelling future.  The majority of our increased cash flow is being re-invested to develop new innovative products and to escalate our sales and marketing activities.  These considerable investments should beneficially increase revenues, profits and cash flow commencing in 2017 and continuing into at least 2018.”

Financial Summary

Revenue.  Total revenue for the third quarter 2016 increased 16% to $3,191,969, over the same quarter 2015.  This increase is primarily due to additional placement of premium games and expansion into new territories.  Between the third quarter 2016 and second quarter 2016, total revenues increased 4% to $3,191,969.  This increase was recognized in all categories of products, with premium games netting the largest gains.  The annualized recurring revenue run-rate as of September 30, 2016 is $12,767,876.

Total costs and expenses.  Expenses for the third quarter 2016 decreased 6% to $2,153,371, when compared to the same quarter 2015.  The decrease is primarily due to decreased legal and professional fees.  The total costs and expenses in the third quarter 2016 decreased 2% to $2,153,371 compared to the second quarter 2016, primarily driven by decreased legal and professional fees. 

Adjusted EBITDA.  Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure (described below), for the third quarter 2016 increased 68% to $1,499,213, compared to the same quarter 2015.  Increased gross revenues and lower selling, general & administrative expenses contributed to the increase in Adjusted EBITDA between the periods.  Adjusted EBITDA in the third quarter 2016 increased 14% to $1,499,213 compared to the second quarter in 2016.  This increase was also driven by the combination of an increase in gross revenues and a decrease in selling, general & administrative expenses.  The decrease in selling, general & administrative expenses was primarily driven by lower legal costs attributed to litigation.

Net income.  Net income for the third quarter 2016 was $820,972, which was an increase of 586% from the same quarter 2015.  The increase was primarily due to the increases in our recurring revenues and lower costs and expenses.  The net income of $820,972 in the third quarter increased 117% compared to the second quarter 2016.  This increase was the combined result of increased revenues and decreases in selling, general & administrative expenses, for reasons previously mentioned.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

Galaxy Gaming, Inc. (the “Company”) prepares its consolidated financial statements in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").  In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP, the Company discloses information regarding Adjusted EBITDA, which differs from the term EBITDA as it is commonly used.  In addition to adjusting net income (loss) from continuing operations to exclude taxes, interest, and depreciation and amortization, Adjusted EBITDA also excludes noncash charges, certain non-recurring charges and share-based compensation expense.  EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP.  However, Adjusted EBITDA is used internally in planning and evaluating the Company's operating performance.  Accordingly, management believes that disclosure of this metric offers investors, bankers and other stakeholders an additional view of the Company's operations that, when coupled with the GAAP results, provides a more complete understanding of the Company's financial results.

Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to net cash used in operating activities as a measure of operating results or of liquidity.  It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies, and it excludes financial information that some may consider important in evaluating the Company's performance.  A reconciliation of GAAP net loss from continuing operations to Adjusted EBITDA is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
