Ram V. Chary, President and Chief Executive Officer of Everi, commented, “Our third quarter results highlight the consistent growth we are now achieving in both our Games and Payments businesses, which on a combined pro forma basis resulted in a year-over-year increase in revenue and Adjusted EBITDA of approximately 7% and 9%, respectively. We achieved our third consecutive quarter of record gaming operations revenue.  In addition, our Payments segment continues to generate growth driven primarily by an increase in ATM transactions and record demand for our integrated kiosks.”

Mr. Chary concluded, “We have already secured new customer agreements that are directly related to our ability to leverage existing relationships to cross sell Games and Payments solutions, and we are expanding the scope of our Games business through entry into new markets.  Our accelerated investments in game content and development is positioning us to grow our market share and yield greater returns beginning in 2017.”

Reiterates 2015 Adjusted EBITDA Outlook

The Company today reaffirmed its outlook for 2015 Adjusted EBITDA of between $200 million and $205 million, including the following fourth quarter and full-year key assumptions:

·                  Double-digit revenue growth in the Games segment for the fourth quarter;

·                  Payments segment revenue in the fourth quarter will be in line with the year-ago quarter;

·                  Full year operating expenses are expected to include approximately $2 million in rebranding costs, $2 million in patent defense costs and $5 million in additional game development investments;

·                  Full year capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $70 million, excluding approximately $4 million for the recent acquisition of certain ATM portfolios;

·                  Full year depreciation and amortization expense is now expected to be between $126 million and $130 million compared to the earlier expectation of between $130 million and $135 million.  This estimate could be impacted by the Company’s final allocation of the Multimedia purchase price to certain depreciable and amortizable assets, as well as non-amortizable goodwill; and,

·                  Full year interest expense of approximately $93 million, exclusive of amortization of debt issuance costs and note discounts.

Randy L. Taylor, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, added, “We continue to execute on our comprehensive integration plans related to our acquisition and as a result achieved significant cost reductions.  Through the end of the 2015 third quarter, we have realized run rate synergies of approximately $23 million and remain on track to achieve our targeted annual cost

2

synergy run rate goal of $24 million by calendar year-end.  Reflecting our year to date adjusted EBITDA performance, which is up more than 7% on a pro-forma basis compared to the prior year period, and our outlook for the fourth quarter, we remain on track to generate full year Adjusted EBITDA of between $200 million and $205 million.  Looking ahead, the strength of our business model provides Everi with the financial flexibility to simultaneously invest in opportunities that target profitable revenue growth and to deploy free cash flow to reduce debt.”

Non-GAAP Financial Information

In order to enhance investor understanding of the underlying trends in our business and to provide for better comparability between periods in different years, we are providing in this press release Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Earnings and Cash EPS on a supplemental basis. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, loss on extinguishment of debt, non-cash stock compensation expense, accretion of contract rights, acquisition expenses, other merger related costs and purchase accounting adjustments less a benefit from one-time legal settlement proceeds; Adjusted EBITDA Margin as adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue; Cash Earnings as net income plus non-cash stock compensation, deferred income tax, amortization, accretion of contract rights, loss on extinguishment of debt, acquisition expenses, other merger related costs and purchase accounting adjustments less a benefit from one-time legal settlement proceeds; and Cash EPS as Cash Earnings divided by our diluted weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. We present Adjusted EBITDA and Cash EPS as we use this information to manage our business and consider these measures to be supplemental to our operating performance. We also make certain compensation decisions based, in part, on our operating performance, as measured by Adjusted EBITDA; and our credit facility, senior secured notes and senior unsecured notes require us to comply with a consolidated secured leverage ratio that include performance metrics substantially similar to Adjusted EBITDA. Reconciliations between United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) measures and non-GAAP measures and between actual results and adjusted results are provided at the end of this press release. Adjusted EBITDA, Cash Earnings and Cash EPS are not measures of financial performance under GAAP. Accordingly, they should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, and should be read in conjunction with, our net income, operating income, basic or diluted earnings per share or cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
