LAS VEGAS, Aug. 6, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Global Cash Access Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") (NYSE: GCA ) announced today financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013.
Key Highlights
- Other Revenue increased 75% due to Kiosk Sales and Service Revenues, which increased 111% year-over-year
- Cash Advance Revenue increased 1% primarily due to stronger international revenues year-over-year
- GCA to provide Scientific Games a Digital Wallet for iLottery
"The second quarter was exciting on many fronts as we continued to execute on our plans to become the leading kiosk provider, to deliver excellent customer service and to become the most complete provider of cash management and payment solutions available to land-based and online gaming operators. Results were in line with expectations and we are pleased to remain on target to meet our full year 2013 guidance expectations. We are especially proud of our recently announced agreement with Scientific Games to provide cash access and wallet services for their iLottery customers," said David Lopez, President and CEO of GCA.
Fiscal Second Quarter 2013 Results
Revenues were $149.1 million for the second quarter 2013, as compared to $147.5 million for the same period in 2012. Operating income was $13.6 million for the second quarter 2013, as compared to $16.0 million for the same period in 2012. Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and non-cash compensation expense ("Adjusted EBITDA") (see Non-GAAP Financial Information below) were $19.1 million for the second quarter 2013, as compared to $21.4 million for the same period in 2012. The decreases in operating income and Adjusted EBITDA were primarily due to lower operating income in our ATM segment and higher payroll and related expenses and occupancy related expenses, partially offset by higher kiosk sales in the second quarter 2013, as compared to the same period in 2012.
Income from operations before income tax provision was $10.9 million for the second quarter 2013, as compared to $11.9 million for the same period in 2012. Diluted earnings per share from continuing operations were $0.10 for the second quarter 2013 (on 67.0 million diluted shares), as compared to $0.11 for the same period in 2012 (on 67.4 million diluted shares). Diluted shares outstanding for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 include the impact of our stock repurchase program. We repurchased approximately 1.0 million shares and 1.7 million shares of common stock for cash of $7.0 million and $11.7 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash earnings per share ("Cash EPS") (see Non-GAAP Financial Information below) were $0.21 for the second quarter 2013, as compared to $0.23 for the same period in 2012.
2013 Outlook
The Company reaffirms its estimates that for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013, Cash EPS will be between approximately $0.74 and $0.83 (on diluted shares of approximately 67.2 million) and Adjusted EBITDA will be between $70 million and $74 million. This estimated outlook is based primarily upon the combination of the following assumptions: (a) the anticipated impact of less favorable pricing terms associated with several customer contract renewals in 2013; (b) the anticipated impact of certain large customers not renewing their contracts; (c) flat to low growth in the domestic gaming industry; (d) limited new casino openings in 2013; (e) an increase in our kiosk sales and services business in 2013; and (f) continued investment with respect to the Company's technology infrastructure and personnel.
