International Game Technology Announces Filing of Fiscal 2010 Second Quarter 10-Q and Provides an Update on Alabama

LAS VEGAS, May 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- International Game Technology (NYSE: IGT), a global leader in creating the games players love and network systems that improve the player experience, announced today the filing of its fiscal 2010 second quarter 10-Q and is providing an update on the Alabama electronic charitable bingo market.

The legality of electronic charitable bingo in Alabama continues to be under challenge by the state's Governor.  Since IGT's fiscal 2010 second quarter earnings press release on April 22, 2010, the legal and political climate in Alabama has further deteriorated, and therefore we have determined that the recoverability of our assets in this market has been impaired.  As a result, in the second quarter ended March 31, 2010, we recognized $53.1 million of impairment charges, including note allowances of $47.6 million, accounts receivable allowances of $2.8 million, and gaming operations equipment impairment of $2.7 million.  Additionally, second quarter revenues were reduced $3.3 million and interest income was reduced $0.3 million based on our assessment of collectability.

Our remaining net carrying amounts after the impairment recorded at March 31, 2010 totaled $38.5 million for development financing and accounts receivable extended to Alabama charitable bingo properties and $6.4 million for related gaming operations assets.

As a result of these charges, net income in the second quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $0.7 million or $0.00 per diluted share.  Excluding the charges noted above and previously disclosed charges in our fiscal 2010 second quarter earnings press release on April 22, 2010, adjusted net income was $58.8 million or $0.20 per diluted share.  For a reconciliation of adjusted net income, please refer to the supplemental schedule at the end of this release.
