MATTHEWS, NC – May 1, 2012—PokerTek, Inc. (NASDAQ: PTEK) today reported financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2012.
 
“We are pleased to start 2012 with strong results, achieving our first quarter of GAAP profitability,” said Mark Roberson, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. “Reaching profitability is a significant milestone and represents the culmination of initiatives to expand our margins, streamline our operations and provide exceptional value to our customers.
 
“Looking ahead, we see our pipeline of new opportunities strengthening and expect increased penetration in several key markets. We are excited about the prospects to grow our installed base in 2012.”
 
Financial Summary
Total revenue was $1.7 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $2.0 million in 2011. Revenues from license and service fees decreased $273 thousand as reductions in revenue from Mexico were only partially offset by revenues generated in other markets. Revenues from sales of systems and equipment were relatively unchanged from prior year, decreasing by $14 thousand. Domestic system and equipment sales favorably impacted the current period and European sales favorably impacted the prior year period. Excluding revenue from Mexico in the prior year, total revenue increased 5.7% on a comparable basis.
 
Gross profit was $1.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $1.4 million in 2011. Gross profit margin increased to 77% from 71% on a quarterly basis. The increase in gross profit margin is primarily due to a combination of changes in revenue mix, improved asset utilization and lower product costs and depreciation.
 
Operating expenses decreased 26% to $1.2 million in the first quarter of 2012 from $1.6 million in 2011. The reduction in operating expense is due to continued cost reduction initiatives which resulted in lower spending on personnel-related costs, regulatory approvals, and professional fees.
 
 
 

 
 
Net income from continuing operations improved 122% to $59 thousand in 2012 from a loss of $(267) thousand in 2011. Net income (loss) from continuing operations per common share improved 125% to a profit of $0.01 per common share (basic and diluted) from a loss of $0.04 per common share (basic and diluted).
 
EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure (described below), was positive $394 thousand in 2012 and $ 300 thousand in 2011.
 
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information
Cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations improved to $249 thousand for 2012, compared to $37 thousand for 2011. Cash from operating activities strengthened as improved earnings and favorable collections were partially offset by reductions in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
 
As of March 31, 2012, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $ 970 thousand and total debt was $700 thousand.
 
Gaming Positions Information
Gaming positions deployed worldwide totaled 2,032 of March 31, 2012 comprised of 1,894 PokerPro and 138 ProCore gaming positions. As of March 31, 2011, 2,610 gaming positions were deployed worldwide comprised of 2,574 PokerPro gaming positions and 36 ProCore gaming positions. Excluding Mexico, gaming positions increased by 132 from March 2011 to March 2012. The increase in gaming positions resulted from net increased placements of PokerPro and ProCore in our target markets.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures
PokerTek, Inc. 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 EBITDAS, 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, EBITDAS also excludes noncash charges, certain non-recurring charges and share-based compensation expense. EBITDA and EBITDAS are not measures of performance defined in accordance with GAAP. However, EBITDAS 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.
 
 
 

 
 
EBITDAS 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 EBITDAS is included in the accompanying financial schedules.
