“Financially, 2013 was a solid year posting recurring revenue growth, strong gross margins and significant improvements in net operating results and cash flow. Our operations and technical teams deserve tremendous credit for the turnaround in our financial performance in recent years,” commented Mark Roberson, Chief Executive Officer.

“We also achieved several important marketing and product development milestones during the year, entering new gaming markets in Macau and South America, growing our cruise ship penetration, achieving regulatory approvals for our ProCore product line, and initiating our expansion into mobile gaming.”

Financial Summary:
Revenue. Total revenue increased 7.1% to $5.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, with revenues from license and service fees increasing 11.1% and revenue from sales of systems and equipment decreasing 14.1%. For the quarterly periods, total revenue increased 4.8% with revenue from license and service fees decreasing 11.3% and revenue from sales of systems and equipment increasing 324.3%.

Revenue from license and service fees increased 11.1% to $4.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $4.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the quarterly periods, revenue from license and service fees decreased 11.3% to $1.1 million from $1.3 million. License and service fees from Canada, Mexico and cruise ships increased with new placements generating revenue in the current year period. Increases in those markets were offset, however, by reductions in revenue from Ohio, Europe and other international markets.

Revenue from sales of systems and equipment decreased 14.1% to $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Sales of systems and equipment decreased on an annual basis due to lower equipment sales in Europe and lower current year contribution from the lease conversions, partially offset by increased equipment sales in Asia. On a quarterly basis, revenue from sales of systems and equipment increased 324.3% to $273 thousand from $64 thousand due primarily to increased sales in Asia and France.
Over the past several years, our revenue mix has become more heavily weighted towards recurring license and service fees and less towards sales of systems and equipment. In 2013, license and service fees represented 87% of total revenue, compared to 84% in 2012.
 
 
 

 

Gross profit. Gross profit was $4.0 million for year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $3.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of 6.9%. Gross profit as a percent of revenue was relatively unchanged at 72.5% and 72.6% for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. For the quarterly periods, gross profit relatively unchanged at $0.9 million in both periods, however, as a percent of revenue gross profit declined from 69.7% to 64.8% due primarily to higher costs of revenue associated with sales activity in Asia.

Operating expenses. Operating expenses increased by $0.1 million (2.8%) to $4.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $4.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. For the quarterly periods, operating expenses decreased to $1.0 million from $1.1 million. The modest increase in operating expenses on an annual basis was attributable to higher spending on regulatory approvals and increased bad debt expense, partially offset by lower employee compensation expense and professional fees.

Interest expense, net. Interest expense decreased 44.9% to $38,191 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $69,351 for the year ended December 31, 2012. On a quarterly basis, interest expense decreased 17.9% to $8,974 from $10,934. The decrease is due to lower long term debt outstanding and lower fees associated with our credit facility.

Income tax provision. Income tax provision decreased 51.3% to $42,310 for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $86,908 for the year ended December 31, 2012. On a quarterly basis, income tax provision was a benefit of $3,710 from an expense of $27,114. The change in income tax provision was primarily attributable to lower withholdings in foreign jurisdictions.

Net loss from continuing operations. Net loss from continuing operations improved 25.1% to $0.6 million, $(0.07) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $0.8 million, $(0.11) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net loss from continuing operations improved 34.5% to $0.1 million, $(0.1) per share, for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2013 from $0.2 million, $(0.2) per share, for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2012. The improvements in net loss from continuing operations resulted primarily from growth in revenue combined with reductions in interest and income taxes.

Net income from discontinued operations. Net income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $535 ($0.00 per share) compared to $52,263 ($0.01 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2012. We completed the disposition of these operations and do not expect to realize additional income or loss from discontinued operations in future periods.

Net loss. Net loss improved 20.3% to $0.6 million, $(0.07) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $0.8 million, $(0.11) per share, for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net loss improved 33.8% to $0.1 million, $(0.1) per share for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2013, from $0.2 million, $(0.2) per share for the quarterly period ended December 31, 2012. The improvements in net loss from continuing operations resulted primarily from growth in revenue combined with reductions in interest and income taxes.
EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure (described below), improved 38.4% to $585 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $423 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. On a quarterly basis, EBITDAS improved 16.4% to $155 thousand from $133 thousand. 2013 represents the Company’s third consecutive year of positive EBITDAS operating performance.
 
 
 

 

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information

Net cash used in operating activities from continuing operations was $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to a use of cash of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. The improvement in cash used in operating activities was primarily due to improved operating results and favorable working capital comparisons, primarily gaming equipment and deferred revenue, partially offset by reductions in accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

Net cash used in investing activities was $10 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013 compared to $1 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2012. Investing activities in both periods are composed of minor capital expenditures for leasehold improvements, office and manufacturing equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities was $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net cash provided by financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from sales of common stock in both periods. Principal payments on long-term debt totaled $60 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2013 and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2012.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $0.4 million and total debt was $0.3 million. As of December 31, 2013 $0.5 million was available under our Credit Facility, based on our accounts receivable and inventory levels, and there were no amounts outstanding under the facility.
 
Gaming Positions Information
Gaming positions deployed worldwide totaled 2,272 gaming positions, composed of 2,170 PokerPro and 102 ProCore positions. As of December 31, 2012, gaming positions consisted of 2,310 gaming positions, composed of 2,160 PokerPro and 150 ProCore positions.

Conference Call
A conference call and webcast will be held on March 12, 2014 at 11:00 am EDT for management to discuss the Company’s’ operating results. Interested parties may listen to and participate in the conference call by dialing (877) 703-6103 (U.S./Canada) or +1 (857) 244-7302 (Other) and entering passcode 48599806. A live webcast of the conference call will be available through a link on our website, www.pokertek.com, under the heading "Investors." For those unable to participate in the live call, an archived replay will be made available on our website. A replay of the conference call will also be available approximately two hours after the conclusion of the call for approximately one week by dialing (888) 286-8010 (U.S./Canada) or +1 (617) 801-6888 (Other) and entering passcode 58748311.

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.
