LAS VEGAS, May 15, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galaxy Gaming, Inc. (OTC:GLXZ), the world's largest independent producer of casino table games and enhanced systems, announced today its financial results for the quarter ending March 31, 2014. Highlights include:

- Net income of $151K decreased $244K or 62% from $395K.
"The results we posted for 2014's first quarter represent our best start ever for the new year," said Galaxy Gaming CEO Robert Saucier. "Revenues, EBITDAS and profits reached an all-time high compared to all prior first quarters. Once again, we are on a solid course to have another record-breaking year. Having just finished tallying our April results, we now believe that our second quarter could also be a record-breaker. And we continue to focus on increasing our revenues, boosting our profits through the expansion of our product lines and our distribution channels. For Galaxy, there's no limit to where we will go next."
Galaxy executives made specific mention of several qualitative "wins" for the first quarter, including a high-profile expansion of its board of directors and the hiring of a well-regarded strategic consultant to aid the Company in its next-stage objectives. Finally, the Company noted that continued consolidation in the industry is a material benefit for Galaxy, as it gained recognition as the world's largest independent table game provider.
"2013 was more than another record-breaking year for our company – it was a validation of our core business principles and carefully constructed strategic plans," said Gary A. Vecchiarelli, Galaxy's CFO. "As we have said before, we have crossed the point where our business model starts to show how attractive it really is."
Continuing, Vecchiarelli said, "The combination of our high-margin recurring revenue business model and our planning and execution is translating into an extremely profitable financial performance across the board. Of particular note is the direct contribution of increased revenue to EBITDAS. For example, for every dollar of added revenue in 2013, almost 60 cents went directly to EBITDAS. These are signs of strength and substance and exactly what our company set out to do."
Looking toward 2014, Mr. Saucier continued, "We hope our supporters will recognize the significance or increasing revenues and EBITDAS approximately 20% each and increasing our pre-tax and post-tax profits by 60% and 45%, respectively. Beyond the financial improvements from last year, we have made significant operational improvements. For example, we just completed the move into our new world headquarters in Las Vegas and now have the infrastructure to grow at an even faster rate. We also successfully resolved all but one of the distractions and diversions of the last two years and expect to likewise be behind us in 2014. I can confidently predict that 2014 should be another record year."
Company Conference Call
In line with its updated strategic plan, Galaxy Gaming is instituting a semi-annual conference call schedule to allow team leaders to put increased focus and time into Company operations, product development and continued national/international expansion. The Company also reasserted that it remains completely dedicated to timely, accurate and transparent SEC reporting.
Financial Summary
Revenue. Total revenue for the first quarter 2014 increased slightly 1%, to $2,260,809. Historically, the first quarter has been the Company's slowest growth period quarter over quarter. However, the Company continues to see growth in all product lines. As of March 31, 2014, the annual recurring revenue run-rate is approximately $9,043,236.
Operating expenses. Operating expenses for the first three months 2014 increased 7.9%. The primary driver of the increase relates to an increase in selling, general & administrative expenses of 15%, and a decrease of 40% in the costs of ancillary products and assembled components. The SG&A increase is generally due to higher sales commission based on increased sales and an increase in overall employee headcount. The Company has also recognized increased professional and compliance expenses related to intellectual property maintenance fees and entrance into new jurisdictions. Additionally, the Company had $53,688 of stock compensation for the first three months 2014, which is included in SG&A expenses. Costs of ancillary products and assembled components decreased $12,905 due to less tangible goods being shipped to clients.
Net income. Net income for the first quarter 2014 decreased 62% to $151,165. The decrease was due to increased operating expenses, interest expense and tax provision for the first three months 2014.
EBITDAS. EBITDAS, a non-GAAP financial measure (described below), decreased 5.5% to $979,498. The primary reason for the decrease relates to higher stock compensation expense for the first three months 2013.
Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Information
Cash provided by operations was $652,943 for the three months ended March 31, 2014 compared to $469,455 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The improvement in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to improved operating results, with a significant contribution to the increase in total revenues.
Cash used in financing activities was $722,572 for the three months ended March 310, 2014 compared to $571,048 for the three months ended March 31, 2013. The increase in cash used in financing activities was due to the increase in contractual principal payments due on notes payable.
As of March 31, 2014, the Company's cash and cash equivalents totaled $362,900.
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.
