Gaming Partners International Corporation Reports 2010 Fourth-Quarter and Year Results

Las Vegas, NV (PR Newswire) (March 29, 2011) —Gaming Partners International Corporation (NASDAQ: GPIC), a leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment, today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and year ending December 31, 2010.

For its fourth quarter of 2010, the Company posted revenues of $16.6 million and net income of $1.0 million, or $0.12 per basic and diluted share. These results compare to revenues of $15.8 million and net income of $1.7 million, or $0.21 per basic and diluted share, for the fourth quarter of 2009. Gross profit for the quarter was $5.4 million, or 32% of revenues, compared to $5.7 million, or 36% of revenues, in the prior year period.

For the year 2010, the Company recorded revenues of $59.9 million and net income of $4.4 million, or $0.54 per basic and $0.53 per diluted share. These results compare to revenues of $49.5 million and net income of $1.0 million, or $0.13 per basic and diluted share for the year 2009. The Company’s 2010 gross profit was $21.7 million, or 36% of revenues, compared to $15.9 million, or 32% of revenues, in 2009.

The primary reasons for the increase in net income in 2010 were a significant increase in gross profit that was driven by higher sales, which caused fixed manufacturing costs to be allocated over higher production volumes, a sales mix shift toward higher-margin chips, and a $1.6 million charge for impairment of goodwill that reduced net income in 2009.

In December, the Company paid a cash dividend of $1.5 million, or $0.1825 per share, and ended 2010 with $29.8 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities, as well as $6.7 million in debt.

“A significant contributor to our increased sales in 2010 was sales from casino openings in Pennsylvania, Delaware and Singapore,” commented Greg Gronau, GPIC President and Chief Executive Officer.  “This helped us end 2010 with a very strong cash position and focuses us for potential future growth.”
