  • Revenues increased 11% to $300 million in the second quarter, primarily due to increases in the interactive businesses and installed base.
  • Gross margin decreased to 60% from 62% in the second quarter, primarily due to higher depreciation expense and the inclusion of the interactive businesses.

  • Excluding the positive impact from the interactive businesses, average revenue per unit per day in the second quarter was $52.34, up 3% sequentially but down 4% over the prior year quarter, mainly due to normal seasonality and a higher mix of lower-yielding units, respectively.
  • DoubleDown Casino increased its monthly users by 24% to 5.6 million as of March 31, 2012 when compared to December 31, 2011.

Adjusted income from continuing operations and adjusted EPS from continuing operations are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures commonly used by management and industry analysts to evaluate our financial performance.  Adjusted income from continuing operations should not be construed as an alternative to income from continuing operations, and Adjusted EPS from continuing operations should not be construed as an alternative to EPS from continuing operations, as indicators of our operating performance determined in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles).  All companies do not calculate Adjusted income from continuing operations or Adjusted EPS from continuing operations in the same manner, and IGT's presentation may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Adjusted operating income, Adjusted operating margin, and Adjusted operating expenses are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures commonly used by management and industry analysts to evaluate our financial and operating performance.  Adjusted operating margin is a measure of adjusted operating income as a percentage of total revenues. Adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted operating expenses, should not be construed as alternatives to operating income, operating margin, and operating expenses, respectively, as indicators of operating performance determined in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles).  All companies do not calculate adjusted operating income, adjusted operating margin, and adjusted operating expenses in the same manner and IGT's presentation may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Adjusted EBITDA (income from continuing operations before interest and other non-operating income/expense-net, income tax provision, depreciation and amortization, and other charges noted in the reconciliation) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure commonly used by our management and industry analysts to evaluate our financial performance.  Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding our ability to service debt and is a commonly used financial analysis tool for measuring and comparing gaming companies in several areas of liquidity, operating performance, valuation and leverage.  Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income (as an indicator of our operating performance) or net cash from operations (as a measure of liquidity) determined in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles).  All companies do not calculate Adjusted EBITDA in the same manner, and IGT's presentation may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Free cash flow is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure commonly used by our management and industry analysts to evaluate the discretionary amount of operating cash flows.  Free cash flow should not be construed as an alternative to net operating cash flows or other cash flow measurements determined in accordance with GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles).  All companies do not calculate free cash flow in the same manner, and IGT's presentation may not be comparable to that of other companies.
