Reports Third Quarter 2023 Results

Ten Consecutive Quarters of Consolidated Revenue Growth Delivering Increase of 13% Year-Over-Year
Double-Digit Growth Across all Businesses Driving Strong Cash Flow Generation
Maintained Healthy Balance Sheet, Strong Financial Profile and Extended 2025 Debt Maturity to 2031
Returned $112 Million of Capital to Shareholders Through Share Repurchases During the Quarter
Added to the S&P/ASX 200 Index and Closed Merger with SciPlay During the Fourth Quarter of 2023

LAS VEGAS — November 9, 2023 — Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) (“Light & Wonder,” “L&W,” “we,” or the “Company”) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2023.
We maintained strong momentum in the third quarter and delivered a tenth consecutive quarter of consolidated revenue growth and fifth consecutive quarter of double-digit growth year-over-year. Consolidated revenue in the quarter grew 13%, maintaining strong margins and cash flow generation as we continued advancing toward our long-term financial targets. The growth was driven by double-digit growth across all of our businesses, including a fifth consecutive quarter of record revenues for SciPlay, and iGaming revenue held at record level:
•Gaming revenue increased 11% compared to the prior year period to $465 million, primarily due to continued momentum in Gaming machine sales, which increased 23% driven by growth in North American and Australian machine sales, coupled with strong performance in North American Gaming operations and Table products.
•SciPlay achieved another quarter of record revenue of $196 million, a 15% increase compared to the prior year period, driven by the core social casino business, maintaining strong payer metrics and once again outpacing the market and gaining share.
•iGaming revenue held at record quarterly level of $70 million, a 21% increase from the prior year period, driven by growth both in the U.S. and international markets.
During the quarter, we returned $112 million of capital to shareholders through share repurchases, and we successfully refinanced $550 million of senior unsecured notes, extending their maturity from 2025 to 2031. On October 23, 2023, we closed the SciPlay merger transaction and acquired the remaining 17% equity interest in SciPlay not already owned by L&W, completing another critical strategic milestone.
Matt Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Light & Wonder, said, “Our tremendous team at Light & Wonder continues to deliver exceptional results with double-digit growth across all three of our businesses for the fourth consecutive quarter. Additionally, we also reached two significant milestones, which included closing the SciPlay transaction and inclusion into the ASX 200 index in Australia. We had successful showings at both the Australasian and Global Gaming Expos with the strength of our product portfolio on full display. The positive feedback we received on our wide range of cabinets and games further validates our focused investment in R&D and vision for the future of the Company. We will continue to capitalize on this momentum, as evidenced by the talent acquisition efforts we’ve recently accomplished. Coming out of G2E, our conviction has never been higher that we will reach our full potential as we approach the end of 2023.”
Oliver Chow, Interim Chief Financial Officer of Light & Wonder, added, “This quarter demonstrated our commitment to growing the business and maintaining healthy margins. Our business segments’ AEBITDA are at their highest levels in 2023 as we continue to stay intensely focused on executing on our strategy while driving margin enhancement initiatives. Our commitment to operational efficiencies coupled with strong top line growth enabled us to generate significant cash flow. We have a strong financial profile and capital structure, which positions us well in our current growth stage, providing us with flexibility to invest as we advance toward our strategic and financial goals.”


LEVERAGE, CAPITAL RETURN, AND STRATEGY UPDATE
•Principal face value of debt outstanding(1) of $3.9 billion, translating to net debt leverage ratio(2) of 2.8x, within our targeted net debt leverage ratio(2) range of 2.5x to 3.5x, as of September 30, 2023, a decrease of 0.5x from December 31, 2022, and the lowest level in the Company’s recent history.
•Extended 2025 debt maturity to 2031 — During the quarter, we issued $550 million of 7.500% senior unsecured notes due 2031 and redeemed all $550 million of our outstanding 8.625% senior unsecured notes due in 2025, resulting in an approximately $6 million reduction in annualized cash interest costs.
•Returned $112 million of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 1.5 million shares of L&W common stock during the quarter. Since the initiation of the program, we have returned $550 million of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 9.1 million shares of L&W common stock, representing 73% of total program authorization.
•Added to the S&P/ASX 200 Index as of October 18, 2023 — The Company’s common stock, which is listed as CHESS Depositary Interests (CDIs) on the ASX, was added to the S&P/ASX 200 Index, continuing to enhance the Company’s profile with Australian investors.
•Closed SciPlay merger transaction on October 23, 2023, acquiring the remaining approximately 17% equity interest not already owned by L&W for $496 million (excluding transaction and advisory fees), resulting in SciPlay becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of L&W (the “SciPlay Merger”). The Company believes that this transaction will enable seamless collaboration with SciPlay that will add further momentum to the Company’s already robust cross-platform strategy, provide flexibility for use of SciPlay cash flows for investments across the enterprise, and facilitate long-term margin enhancement opportunities via synergies, all of which are expected to increase long-term shareholder value.

Third Quarter 2023 Business Segments Key Highlights
•Gaming revenue increased 11% to $465 million compared to the prior year period, led by continued momentum in Gaming machine sales, growing 23%. Gaming operations maintained elevated average daily revenue per unit, while Table products continued strong momentum increasing 17% compared to the prior year period. Gaming AEBITDA was $235 million, up 16% compared to the prior year period with AEBITDA margin improving three percentage points, primarily driven by favorable revenue mix as well as margin enhancement initiatives.
•Gaming operations revenue continues to benefit from year-over-year growth in our North American installed base placements and average daily revenue per unit, as a result of strong content performance and the continued success of our COSMIC™ and MURAL® cabinets, validating our continued investment in our R&D engine to drive long-term growth. Our North American premium installed base has grown for the 13th consecutive quarter, representing 47% of our total installed base mix, while revenue per day remained at elevated levels.
•SciPlay revenue increased 15% to $196 million compared to the prior year period, breaking another record. SciPlay AEBITDA was $61 million, up 42% compared to the prior year period with AEBITDA margin improving six percentage points, reflective of continuing revenue growth and lower marketing spend. Growth was primarily driven by the core social casino business, which delivered strong payer metrics and once again outpaced the market and gained share. Payer conversion rates increased year-over-year to 10.6%, while ARPDAU(1) grew 20% to a record $0.96 and AMRPPU(2) grew 12%, reaching a record $106.61.

•iGaming revenue increased 21% to $70 million and held at record quarterly revenue, and AEBITDA was $25 million compared to $20 million in the prior year period. The revenue and AEBITDA increases were driven by growth in the U.S. and international markets and benefited from $3 million in certain termination fees. The U.S. market delivered 25% year-over-year revenue growth, driven in part by our continued strength in our land-based original content launches and scaling third party aggregation on our platform. In October 2023, we launched our live casino operations in Michigan, reaching a strategic market expansion milestone for our iGaming business.
•Consolidated capital expenditures were $70 million in the third quarter of 2023.

Discontinued Operations
We sold our former Lottery business to Brookfield Business Partners L.P. during the second quarter of 2022. We sold our former Sports Betting business to Endeavor Operating Company, LLC, a subsidiary of Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc., in a cash and stock transaction completed during the third quarter of 2022. Accordingly, the prior period financial results for these divested businesses are presented as discontinued operations in accordance with Accounting Standard Codification 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements - Discontinued Operations. We report our continuing operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
The Company’s management (“Management”) uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures: Consolidated AEBITDA (representing continuing operations), Consolidated AEBITDA margin, Free cash flow (representing continuing operations), Free cash flow from discontinued operations, Combined free cash flow, Net debt, Net debt leverage ratio, and Adjusted NPATA (each, as described more fully below). These non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental disclosures. They should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Specifically, Management uses Consolidated AEBITDA to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company’s continuing operations; (ii) facilitate Management’s internal and external comparisons of the Company’s consolidated historical operating performance; and (iii) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and operating budgets.
In addition, Management uses Consolidated AEBITDA and Consolidated AEBITDA margin to facilitate its external comparisons of the Company’s consolidated results to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels.
Management uses Net debt and Net debt leverage ratio in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage.
Following our ASX listing, Management introduced usage of Adjusted NPATA, a non-GAAP financial measure, which is widely used to measure the performance as well as a principal basis for valuation of gaming and other companies listed on the ASX, and which we now present on a supplemental basis.
As described in this earning release, the Company sold its former Lottery business and Sports Betting business and as such, historical financial information for these divested businesses is classified as discontinued operations, as described above. Management believes that Combined free cash flow is useful during the period until the disposition occurred as it provided Management and investors with information regarding the Company’s combined financial condition under the structure at the time, including for prior period comparisons, as the Company transformed its strategy subsequent to the Divestitures.
Additionally, Combined free cash flow provided greater visibility into cash available for the Company to use in investing and financing decisions as that cash flow was available for such decisions.
Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide Management and investors with information regarding the Company’s financial condition and operating performance that is an integral part of Management’s reporting and planning processes. In particular, Management believes that Consolidated AEBITDA is helpful because this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effects of restructuring, transaction, integration or other items that Management believes are less indicative of the ongoing underlying performance of continuing operations (as more fully described below) and are better evaluated separately. Management believes that Free cash flow and Combined free cash flow provide useful information regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to service debt and fund investments.
Management also believes that Free cash flow and Combined free cash flow are useful for investors because they provide investors with important perspectives on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment, necessary license payments to support the ongoing business operations and adjustments for changes in restricted cash impacting working capital.
Additionally, Management believes that Free cash flow from discontinued operations provides useful information regarding the Company’s operations as well as the impact of the discontinued businesses on the overall financial results for the prior periods presented as they remained under the structure of the Company for those periods. This non-GAAP measure is derived based on the historical records and includes only those direct costs that are allocated to discontinued operations and as such does not include all of the expenses that would have been incurred by these businesses as a standalone company or other Corporate and shared allocations and such differences might be material.
Management believes Adjusted NPATA is useful for investors because it provides investors with additional perspective on performance, as the measure eliminates the effects of amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, transaction, integration, certain other items, and the income tax impact on such adjustments, which Management believes are less indicative of the ongoing
16

underlying performance of continuing operations and are better evaluated separately. Adjusted NPATA is widely used to measure performance of gaming and other companies listed on the ASX.
Consolidated AEBITDA (representing AEBITDA from continuing operations)
Consolidated AEBITDA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure of the Company’s continuing operations and is reconciled to net income (loss) from continuing operations as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to L&W to Consolidated AEBITDA.” Consolidated AEBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Consolidated AEBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Consolidated AEBITDA is reconciled to Net income attributable to L&W and includes the following adjustments: (1) Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest; (2) Net income from discontinued operations, net of tax; (3) Restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) Management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration (including costs associated with strategic review, rebranding, divestitures and ongoing separation activities and related activities); (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition- and disposition-related costs and other unusual items; (4) Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges and Goodwill impairments; (5) Loss on debt financing transactions; (6) Change in fair value of investments and Gain on remeasurement of debt and other; (7) Interest expense; (8) Income tax expense; (9) Stock-based compensation; and (10) Other income, net, including foreign currency gains or losses and earnings from equity investments. AEBITDA is presented exclusively as our segment measure of profit or loss.
Consolidated AEBITDA Margin
Consolidated AEBITDA margin, as used herein, represents our Consolidated AEBITDA (as defined above) calculated as a percentage of consolidated revenue. Consolidated AEBITDA margin is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net income (loss) from continuing operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in a schedule above.
Free Cash Flow (representing free cash flow from continuing operations)
Free cash flow, as used herein, represents net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations less total capital expenditures, less payments on license obligations, plus payments on contingent acquisition considerations and adjusted for changes in restricted cash impacting working capital. Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in the schedule above.
Free Cash Flow from Discontinued Operations
Free cash flow from discontinued operations, as used herein, represents net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations less total capital expenditures, less payments on license obligations and adjusted for changes in restricted cash impacting working capital. Free cash flow from discontinued operations is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only and is reconciled to net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, in a schedule above.
Combined Free Cash Flow
Combined free cash flow, as used herein, represents a non-GAAP financial measure that combines Free cash flow (representing our continuing operations) and Free cash flow from discontinued operations and is presented as a supplemental disclosure for illustrative purposes only.
Net Debt and Net Debt Leverage Ratio
Net debt is defined as total principal face value of debt outstanding, the most directly comparable GAAP measure, less cash and cash equivalents. Principal face value of debt outstanding includes the face value of debt issued under Senior Secured Credit Facilities and Senior Notes, which are described in Note 15 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 and in Note 11 of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, but it does not include other long term obligations primarily comprised of certain revenue transactions presented as debt in accordance with ASC 470. Net debt leverage ratio, as used herein, represents Net debt divided by Consolidated AEBITDA. The forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure targeted net debt leverage ratio is presented on a supplemental basis and does not reflect Company guidance. We are not providing a forward-looking quantitative reconciliation of targeted net debt leverage ratio to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the ultimate outcome of certain significant items without unreasonable effort. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors, and could have a material impact on GAAP reported results for the relevant period.
Adjusted NPATA
Adjusted NPATA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure of the Company’s continuing operations and is reconciled to net income from continuing operations as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as
17

set forth in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to L&W to Adjusted NPATA.” Adjusted NPATA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Adjusted NPATA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.
Adjusted NPATA is reconciled to Net income from continuing operations and includes the following adjustments: (1) Amortization of acquired intangible assets; (2) non-cash asset and goodwill impairments; (3) Restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) Management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration (including costs associated with strategic review, rebranding, divestitures and ongoing separation activities and related activities); (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition- and disposition-related costs and other unusual items; (4) Loss on debt financing transactions; (5) Change in fair value of investments and Gain on remeasurement of debt and other; (6) Income tax impact on adjustments; and (7) Other income, net, including foreign currency gains or losses and earnings from equity investments.
