Executive Comments
"Our recurring revenues continued to climb for the 12th consecutive quarter, which is a testament to the demand and quality of our products," said Gary A. Vecchiarelli, Galaxy's CFO. "It is also noteworthy that our revenues in the United Kingdom continued to climb. While the strength of the dollar against the British pound sterling hit a 12-month low, our UK billings saw a 20% increase over the same quarter last year."
Mr. Vecchiarelli specifically addressed higher operating expenses, and described it as evidence of the Company's strategic direction and internal focus. "In the third quarter, we recognized slight increases in operational expenses which relates to our continued growth and expanded investment in research & development. We have made significant investments into our operations, which have not only grown the size of our product offerings, but has given us the capacity and bandwidth to grow even further."
"Our year-to-date results support that 2014 will likely be our best year ever," said Galaxy Gaming CEO Robert Saucier. "This is particularly significant because of the substantial investments we made in our infrastructure this year. We quadrupled the footprint of our Las Vegas headquarters, which includes a world-class showroom and is already contributing to increased sales and operational efficiencies. We expanded our product lines across the board, representing the largest release of new products in our history. Many of these cutting-edge products were showcased at the Global Gaming Expo conference, held this September in Las Vegas. In the largest booth our Company has ever committed to, we introduced ten new premium table game titles and a number of cutting-edge electronics such as our SpectrumVision playing card integrity verifier, our newest TableMAX e-Table with an expanded game library, and a major new release of our Bonus Jackpot System. And finally, throughout 2014 we invested in other important systems and operational improvements designed to increase our scalability to accommodate future long-term growth. While these investments caused our profitability to dip in the second and third quarters, as the numbers reveal − our revenues, EBITDAS and profits have all increased over last year's comparable quarters. Our entire team is optimistic about our future," added Mr. Saucier.
Financial Summary
Revenue. Total revenue for the third quarter increased 18% to $2,517,384, over the same quarter 2013. Revenue also increased 21% to $7,244,724 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 over the same period 2013. Between the second and third quarter 2014, total revenues increased 2%. These increases are primarily due to additional placement of premium games and expansion into new territories. The annualized recurring revenue run-rate as of September 30, 2014 is $10,065,504.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the third quarter 2014 increased 8% to $2,047,572, over the same quarter 2013. Operating expenses also increased 16% for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 over the same period 2013. The primary driver of the increase relates to increases in selling, general & administrative expenses. The SG&A increase is generally due to higher sales commissions based on increased sales, an increase in overall employee headcount, non-cash increased stock compensation expense and intellectual property costs. Between the second and third quarter 2014, operating expenses increased 5%, which included increased research & development expenses and additional intellectual property costs.
Net income. Net income for the third quarter 2014 was $87,429, which reversed a loss from the same quarter 2013. Net income also increased 107% to $347,971 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014 over the same period 2013. The increase was primarily due to significant growth in recurring revenue. Net income decreased 20% between the second and third quarter 2014, to $87,429. This decrease was primarily due to higher SG&A and research & development expenses recognized in the second quarter.
EBITDAS. EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure (described below), for the third quarter 2014 increased 15% to $915,320 over the third quarter 2013. EBITDAS also increased 20% to $2,881,879 for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014. Higher recurring revenues contributed to most of the increase in EBITDAS between the periods. Between the second and third quarter 2014, EBITDAS decreased 7%, due to higher operating expenses.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information
Cash provided by operations was $2,253,542 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,512,667 for the same period 2013. The improvement in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to the significant increase in total revenues and net income.
Cash used in financing activities was $2,224,688 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to $1,702,937 for the same period 2013. The increase in cash used in financing activities was primarily due to the increase in contractual principal payments due on notes payable.
As of September 30, 2014, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $394,552.
Use of Non-GAAP Measures
Galaxy Gaming, 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.
