The IGT’s fourth-quarter earnings figures show a 2.8% increase from the previous quarter

Adjusted earnings for the fourth quarter before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were $419 million, up 8.3% from a year ago.

Despite its high earnings, IGT posted a net loss of $64 million in shareholders in the fourth quarter of 2022. This compares to $19 million in revenue from the same period last year.

The company’s board of directors announced on March 28 that it would pay a quarterly cash dividend of $0.20 per share of common stock. 온라인경마

The company said its quarterly performance was “above offset” by increased non-cash foreign currency losses.

IGT reported a Q4 foreign exchange loss of $95 million, compared to a year-ago quarter foreign exchange loss of $4 million. The company also recorded provisions on income tax of $111 million, compared with $56 million a year ago, “mainly due to higher non-deductible exchange losses and gradual valuation provisions on deferred tax assets.”

The group’s fourth-quarter global gaming revenue was $389 million, up 21.2% from a year ago. This was attributed to “strong double-digit growth across the revenue stream from service and product sales.”

The gaming segment generated $68 million in operating revenue, up 88.9% year-on-year, and “significant operating leverage was partially offset by increased supply chain costs,” the company said. The group’s gaming business has a “record operating profit margin of 18 percent,” it added.

Revenue from the digital and betting sectors was $65 million, up 54.8% from a year ago. IGT posted revenue of $639 million in the lottery segment, down 7.0% year-over-year.

IGT said it sold 9,483 gaming machines worldwide in the last three months of 2022, up 28.7% year-over-year. This included 728 new units and 8,755 replacements.

Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 was slightly above $1.66 billion, down 1.3% year-over-year.

“Important strategic work done over the past few years has transformed IGT into a company with a higher growth outlook, a better profit profile and a clear path to achieving long-term goals,” he added
