David Gavagan, Chairman and Interim Chief Executive Officer,
said: "While trading conditions remained challenging throughout the
year, our strategy and restructuring and the commitment of our
people over the past 18 months have returned the business to profit
for the first time since 2007 and delivered the first annual
increase in revenues and cash for five years."
Overview
There was a significant turnaround for the Company in 2011
resulting from a continued focus on increasing revenues and
maintaining tight control over costs following the significant
restructuring programme initiated in August 2010.
The goals set out to stabilise the Company and return to revenue
growth and profitability were achieved last year. The breathing
space afforded by the restructuring allowed the Company to arrest
the decline in revenues, resulting in the Company reporting:
-- its first annual increase in revenues since 2006
-- its first annual profit and earnings per share since 2007
-- its first cash generation from operations since 2006
In February 2011, the Company appointed Deloitte Corporate
Finance to act as its independent financial adviser to assist it
with a strategic review encompassing a range of options available
to the Company, from continuing as an independent entity through to
the sale of part or all of its business, as well as to provide
advice with respect to any potential transaction. During 2011, in
connection with the strategic review, a number of parties contacted
or were contacted by Deloitte Corporate Finance. In February 2012,
a recommended cash offer from Amaya Gaming Group Inc. for the
entire issued and to be issued share capital of CryptoLogic was
announced at a price of $2.535 per share, a premium of
approximately 110% to the closing price of $1.21 per share on
NASDAQ on March 24, 2011, the day prior to the announcement of the
strategic review.
Operating and Financial Review
Total revenue increased 5% to $27.3 million for the year ended
December 31, 2011 (2010: $26.0 million). Total revenue in Q4 2011
was $7.0 million (Q3 2011: $7.2 million).
Profit was $6.5 million or $0.47 per share for the year ended
December 31, 2011 (2010: $21.6 million loss or $1.56 loss per
share). In Q4 2011, profit increased to $5.8 million (Q3 2011: $1.1
million).
Total expenses decreased 48% to $24.8 million for the year ended
December 31, 2011 (2010: $47.3 million). Total expenses in Q4 2011
were $5.9 million (Q3 2011: $5.9 million).
Hosted Casino
Revenue from Hosted Casino increased 7% to $23.4 million in 2011
(2010: $22.0 million), and includes an increase in jackpot revenue
of $1.4 million, including a revision of our estimate to discharge
future jackpot payouts of $0.9 million, and a reduction of $0.3
million in liabilities previously provided against Hosted Casino
revenue through the resolution of a dispute with a significant
supplier of games. In Q4 2011, revenue from this segment was $6.0
million (Q3 2011: $6.5 million).
Branded Games
Branded Games revenue increased 25% to $6.9 million in 2011
(2010: $5.5 million), accounting for approximately 25% of total
revenues (2010: 21%). In Q4 2011, revenue from this segment
increased to $1.9 million (Q3 2011: $1.4 million).
The increase in Branded Games revenue is primarily due to the
increased number of revenue producing games through an increased
number of licensees and games per licensee. During the year, the
Company's revenue producing games increased from 170 to 212 games.
There was also a reduction of $0.5 million in liabilities
previously provided against Branded Games revenue through the
resolution of a dispute with a significant supplier of games,
partially offset by a lower contribution from a major licensee.
In June a $4.2 million jackpot win was paid on Millionaires'
Club, the Company's popular online slot game, to a player on
SkyVegas.com, a leading CryptoLogic licensee.
Poker and Other
Poker and Other revenue amounted $1.2 million in 2011 (2010:
$2.8 million).
Expenses
Operating expense decreased 42% to $17.6 million in 2011 (2010:
$30.1 million). In Q4 2011, operating expenses were $4.3 million
(Q3 2011: $4.1 million).
General and administrative expenses decreased 24% to $5.7
million in 2011 (2010: $7.6 million). In Q4 2011, general and
administrative expenses were $1.3 million (Q3 2011: $1.5
million).
The reduction in annual operating and general administrative
expenses is primarily due to the Company's reorganization
plans.
Profit
Profit for the year was $6.5 million compared with a $21.6
million loss in 2010. The movement from loss to profit was as a
result of increased revenue and profit on derecognition of
available-for-sale assets and decreased operating, general and
administrative, depreciation and amortization, impairment of
intangible assets, reorganization and income tax expenses. Included
within this movement is a profit on sale of an investment of $1.3
million, a revision of our estimate to discharge future jackpot
payouts of $0.9 million, a reduction of $0.8 million in liabilities
previously provided against revenue through the resolution of a
dispute with a significant supplier of games and a refund of $3.4
million of tax previously paid for potential tax liabilities.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow
Cash and cash equivalents as at December 31, 2011 increased to
$16.6 million (September 30, 2011: $15.2 million) (December 31,
2010: $10.6 million). The increase in cash during 2011 of $6.0
million is primarily due to net cash flows from operating
activities and cash received from sale of investment.
Litigation
In February 2011, a brand licensor delivered to the Company a
notice purporting to terminate the brand license agreement between
the two companies, claiming that the Company had breached such
agreement. In May 2011, the brand licensor reaffirmed its position
that the brand license agreement is terminated. The Company
believes there is no breach that warrants termination of the
agreement. In June 2011, the Company filed suit against the brand
licensor seeking judgment that any breach was cured and the
agreement remains in force. In October 2011, the brand licensor
answered the complaint, denying any cure and filed a countersuit
seeking monetary damages for the alleged breach of the agreement
and a declaration that the agreement has been terminated. This
litigation is ongoing.
Subsequent Event
In January 2012, the Company announced that it had acquired, for
nominal consideration, the Maltese online gambling licenses for
InterCasino from OIGE, the Company's largest and longest-standing
Hosted Casino licensee, resulting in the Company becoming an online
casino owner and the majority of the Hosted Casino business
becoming a B2C business.
