Galaxy Gaming Provides Update on Strategic Alternatives Review and 2018 Preliminary Financial Results

LAS VEGAS, March 14, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Galaxy Gaming, Inc. (OTCQB: GLXZ), a developer, manufacturer and distributor of casino table games and enhanced systems, is today providing an update on the review of strategic alternatives that was originally announced on November 5, 2018. The Company is also announcing preliminary financial results for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Strategic Alternatives

“In November, we announced that we had engaged Macquarie Capital as a financial advisor to assist Galaxy in a review of strategic alternatives, including a potential sale of the majority stake in Galaxy held by Triangulum Partners LLC,” stated Mark Lipparelli, Chairman of Galaxy’s Board of Directors.  “Since that time, Galaxy has evaluated a range of strategic alternatives, with the assistance of Macquarie, including a sale of the company.  The result of these efforts is a decision by the Company to continue on our existing plan to significantly expand both our product lines and our geographic expansion.  While our formal process is concluded, we will continue to evaluate other opportunities to enhance shareholder value as they may, from time to time, arise.” Galaxy does not intend to provide further updates unless or until it determines that further disclosure is appropriate or necessary.

“This process has required us to do a very thorough review of the opportunities facing Galaxy’s business both in the near and long term,” stated Todd Cravens, Galaxy’s President and CEO.  “We have seen steady improvements in our market reach and financial performance in the past year and we believe that there is a bright future for Galaxy.”

Preliminary 2018 Financial Results

The Company expects to file actual results for the year ended December 31, 2018 on Form 10-K on April 1, 2019.  On a preliminary estimated basis, the Company expects to report revenue for 2018 of approximately $18.6 million and adjusted EBITDA* of $6.6 million.  These figures compare to $14.9 million in revenue and $5.1 million in adjusted EBITDA* in 2017.  Further, the Company expects to report that, at December 31, 2018, cash was $6.3 million and long-term debt (gross) was $10.2 million.
