Executive Comments

Todd Cravens, President and CEO of Galaxy Gaming, expressed satisfaction with Q2 2023 results, highlighting record-breaking figures in revenue, adjusted EBITDA, and cash on hand. Cravens also pointed out significant developments in the company’s partnerships, such as a ten-year agreement with Evolution and an exclusive distribution deal for EZ Baccarat® in various regions, which are expected to contribute to substantial revenue growth.

Harry Hagerty, CFO of Galaxy Gaming, reported strong performance across different segments. Notably, perpetual license sales to a single GG Core customer amounted to $1.6 million in Q2, with revenue in GG Core reaching $3.8 million. In GG Digital, revenue (net) totaled $2.2 million.

Hagerty emphasized the company’s solid liquidity position, with cash at $18.7 million and long-term debt at $58.6 million, well within compliance with debt covenants. He also outlined the company’s plan to reduce net leverage and pursue debt refinancing in the future.

Regarding fiscal 2023 guidance, the company raised its expectations for revenue (net of iGaming royalties) from a range of $27.5-$28.5 million to a range of $29-$30 million. The guidance for Adjusted EBITDA was increased to the high end of the previously announced range of $13.0-13.25 million.
