Casino equipment and online game provider Light & Wonder (L&W), formerly known as Scientific Games Corporation, reported a 5.0% year-over-year increase in group overall revenue to $610 million in the second quarter. The growth was supported by increased sales from the group's gaming division and digital business SciPlay. "Our gaming business has shown sustained strong momentum, including year-on-year growth in all business segments and strong sequential growth in game operations and game sales," Light & Wonder said in a press release on Tuesday. "Sales also benefited from year-on-year growth on SciPlay, and the iGaming business continued to see momentum despite the negative impact of foreign currency," it added.

Considering the group's continued operations alone, Wright & Wonder reported a net loss of $150 million in the three months to June 30, compared with a loss of $51 million a year ago. "The net loss was increased mainly due to a loss of $147 million in financing transactions related to debt repayment and refinancing transactions in April 2022," the group said. Nevertheless, Light & Wonder posted Q2 net income from $3.29 billion in shareholders due to suspended operations. In the period ended June 30, pre-tax profits from the group's sale of the lottery business completed in April amounted to nearly $4.57 billion.

Consolidated quarterly adjusted earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortization from the company's continued operations fell 8.6% Y/Y to $212 million. The company said its adjusted EBITDA results for the previous year were "benefits from the VAT recovery, reducing comparability by about 18 percentage points year-on-year." Light & Wonder said it had "significantly deburred and transformed" its balance sheet as a result of debt repayment and refinancing transactions that reduced the principal face value of its outstanding debt to $3.9 billion. The company is also selling its sports betting business. The deal is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of this year. Under a revised agreement announced earlier this year, the company will obtain US$750 million and US$50 million of shares from the acquisition business, sports and entertainment company U.S.-listed Endeavour Group Holdings Inc. said. 파칭코사이트인포

The company also targeted "a total of $10 billion in capital generation from 2022 to 2025. Q2 GAME SALES INCREASED 6.3% Y/Y TO $390 MILLION.

Revenue from game operations fell 9.9% Y/Y to $163 million. Game console sales in the second quarter of 2022 were $123 million, up 23.0% from a year ago.
