On April 12, 2021, the Acting Director of the Division of Corporation Finance and Acting Chief Accountant of the Securities and Exchange Commission issued a joint statement regarding the accounting and reporting considerations for warrants issued by special purpose acquisition companies entitled "Staff Statement on Accounting and Reporting Considerations for Warrants Issued by Special Purpose Acquisition Companies" (the "SEC Staff Statement"). As a result of the SEC Statement, Inspired restated its financial statements as of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the change in fair value of warrant liability resulting from the SEC Staff Statement was a $1.7 million charge.

During the quarter, Inspired's key retail gaming territories, UK, Italy and Greece, reopened at different stages following COVID-19-related restrictions.  The UK government gradually removed COVID-19-related operating restrictions throughout the course of the second quarter 2021, beginning April 12, 2021, with all of the Company's retail businesses in England not being able to operate without constraints until July 19, 2021.  The Greek Organisation of Football Prognostics (OPAP) betting shops reopened May 24, 2021, while in Italy, retail venues began reopening in June 2021.

"We are pleased with our second quarter results as the majority of our retail businesses steadily reopened throughout the quarter and our Interactive business built upon its momentum coming into the quarter to continue its rapid growth trajectory," said Lorne Weil, Executive Chairman of Inspired. "From what we have seen in July and so far in August, this momentum in the Interactive business has continued—leading to record-level revenues in July, notwithstanding the reopening of retail customers during the quarter—while our retail businesses appear to have rebounded quickly to roughly pre-COVID levels, as we had forecasted. Gross gaming revenue per operational machine in betting shops is approximately back to pre-COVID levels, the pubs have been improving steadily week-to-week since constraints were completely lifted in July 2021 and revenue from the holiday parks has outperformed our initial expectations." 

Weil continued, "Our North American business remains a key driver of growth opportunities as we continue to build momentum and expand our footprint.  Early results from our installed base of Valor™ terminals with Western Canada Lottery Corporation (WCLC) have been very encouraging.  We believe this bodes well not only for future placements with WCLC, but also for our video lottery terminal business in the Canadian lottery market, which has approximately 33,000 machines in total.  We see the North American online gaming and betting markets as significant opportunities, and we believe we are well positioned in these markets.  We launched our first games into Michigan in the second quarter and North America has now become our second largest Interactive market, with further opportunities as we continue to reach full deployment across Michigan and New Jersey and seek to benefit from opportunities with several additional states.  We have also started to work with BetMGM in New Jersey on promoting our Virtual Plug & Play™, which allows their online players to access multiple virtual sports via an intuitive player interface, and we are very excited about the prospects for this product."

"During the second quarter, we refinanced all of our borrowings, which extended our maturity profile and provided us increased operating flexibility, while lowering our expected interest expense (excluding the amortization of debt fees) for 2022 by approximately $3.6 million," said Stewart Baker, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Inspired.  "Between the strong retail gaming recovery outlook, robust iGaming trends, refinancing and the overall improvement in our cost structure coming out of COVID-19, we believe we are in a better position than ever to deliver on our strategic plan and maximize shareholder value."

Management Guidance for Third Quarter 2021

Management is maintaining its third quarter 2021 Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $28.0 million to $30.0 million based on current exchange rates and the assumption that current expectations for operations in the various geographies in which Inspired's customers operate are not impacted by additional COVID-related measures.  The Company is not able to forecast net income on a forward-looking basis without unreasonable efforts due to the high variability and difficulty in predicting certain items that affect net income, including change in warrant liability, income tax expense and stock-based compensation expense. Management does not currently intend to provide such guidance for future periods.

"With the third quarter ramping up as we had expected, we are maintaining our third quarter guidance.  We are looking forward to demonstrating that we are emerging from COVID-19 as a stronger and leaner company with a higher revenue base, more efficient cost structure and increased growth opportunities," concluded Weil.

Recent Highlights (as of August 11, 2021)

Financial

  • Debt Refinancing – During the second quarter, the Company issued £235.0 million ($324.7 million) aggregate principal amount of its 7.875% senior secured notes due 2026 and arranged a secured revolving facility loan in a principal amount of £20.0 million ($27.6 million). Proceeds from the offering of the senior secured notes were primarily used to repay the Company's previous £145.8 million ($201.5 million) senior secured term loan facility and €93.1 million ($110.4 million) senior secured term loan facility. The debt refinancing resulted in a reduction in the Company's annual interest expense.
  • Landgame Public Offering – During the second quarter, the Company facilitated Landgame Trust's secondary offering of its entire holdings in the Company's common stock. In the offering, which was highly oversubscribed, Landgame sold 6.2 million shares to over 40 institutional investors. As a result of the completion of this sale, Landgame is no longer a stockholder of Inspired and the Company believes it has a more diverse distribution of holders of its common stock than it did previously.

Gaming 

  • 71 Valor™ Sales in Illinois during the Second Quarter – These sales bring total Valor terminal sales in North America since launch to 540. The Company has commitments for 36 additional units in Illinois thus far in the third quarter.

Virtual Sports

  • Retail and Online Virtual Sports Agreements – During the second quarter, Inspired signed an extension with Entain enabling BetMGM, Borgata and Party Casino to launch Virtual Plug & Play™ into multiple states in the U.S. In addition, the Company signed a contract extension with Boylesports for the provision of Virtual Sports across retail betting shops in the UK and Ireland.
  • Online Virtual Plug & Play™ ("VPP") Launches – Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Inspired launched its VPP product, which allows online players to access multiple Virtual Sports via an intuitive player interface, with BetMGM, Borgata and Party Casino in New Jersey and plans to launch with several other operators in the third and fourth quarters. Inspired also launched three channels of V-Play Soccer 3.0™ with Stoiximan, the largest online operator in Greece, as well as a number of new features with Misli, Turkey's fastest growing betting site.
  • New Retail Territories –Following certification by the Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau for Macau ("DICJ"), V-Play Horses was launched with LT Game in Macau on self-service betting terminals in the second quarter.
  • New Products - Updates to V-Play Soccer 3.0 and V-Play Matchday Soccer were launched in OPAP venues in Greece along with a new Euro soccer tournament product which was launched alongside the European Soccer tournament in the second quarter 2021. In Italy, the Company launched new Virtual products (Marbles, Penalties and Matchday Ultra™) with its online and retail customers subsequent to the end of the quarter.

Interactive

  • New Customers – Interactive content was launched with seven new customers, including BetMGM and Golden Nugget in Michigan during the second quarter. 
  • New Jurisdictions – The Company launched Interactive games in Michigan during the second quarter. 
  • New Content – Seven games were launched during the second quarter across the estate including Big Spin Bonus™ and Cops and Robbers Megaways™. Big Spin Bonus is the biggest launch in Inspired's history and the first game to hit 20 million plays in a week.
  • New Contract – Inspired signed a contract to launch Interactive games with Wynn Resorts during the second quarter. 
  • New License – Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Inspired received a license from Alberta Gaming, Liquor and Cannabis ("AGLC") to include Interactive games on PlayAlberta.ca, the only regulated online gaming site in the Province. 

Leisure

  • Contract Extension – Inspired signed a contract extension with Marstons during the second quarter.

Overview of Second Quarter 2021 Results Versus Second Quarter 2020 on a Reported Basis

Gaming Revenue was $16.2 million, an increase of $12.0 million over the prior year period due to Inspired's retail customers reopening throughout the second quarter 2021 versus being shut down almost entirely for COVID-19-related closures in the prior-year period. Second quarter 2021 included the sale of 71 Valor™ terminals in Illinois.  Gaming Segment Operating Loss improved by $4.4 million over the prior-year period to $2.7 millionGaming Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.5 million over the prior period to $3.5 million due to the reopening of retail venues.

Virtual Sports Revenue increased to $8.2 million from $7.6 million in the second quarter 2020 primarily due to a $0.9 million increase in retail Virtual Sports revenue, as our retail business steadily returned throughout the second quarter 2021.  This was primarily offset by a $0.8 million decline in one-time sales driven by the lack of real live sports in the prior-year period and a $0.4 million decline in online recurring revenue due to the lack of live sports betting available in second quarter 2020.  Virtual Sports Segment Operating Income was $4.2 million, a decrease from $5.1 million in the second quarter of 2020 primarily due to an increase in SG&A for the provision of additional taxes due, relating to historic periods. Virtual Sports Adjusted EBITDA increased to $6.4 million from $6.1 million in the second quarter 2020. 

Interactive Revenue increased 69.0% to $5.8 million from $3.4 million in the second quarter 2020.  The revenue growth was driven by the addition of new customers and territories and the consistent launch of new high-quality content.  Interactive Segment Operating Income increased to $2.6 million from $1.7 million in the second quarter 2020 and Interactive Adjusted EBITDA increased to $3.6 million from $2.4 million in the second quarter 2020 due to associated costs with establishing new customers, geographies and content.

Leisure Revenue increased $10.9 million to $11.3 million in the second quarter 2021 from $0.4 million in the second quarter 2020.  The Leisure business was able to reopen on May 17, 2021. However, there were continued social distancing and other restrictions on operations imposed due to COVID-19.  During the prior year period, all major sectors of the Leisure segment (Pubs, Holiday Parks, Motorway Service Areas and Bingo) were closed due to the COVID-19 lockdown in the UK. Leisure Segment Operating Loss improved to a loss of $4.4 million from a loss of $7.0 million.  Leisure Adjusted EBITDA improved to a loss of $0.2 million from a loss of $2.6 million in the second quarter 2020.

Total Company Selling, General and Administrative expenses increased to $25.1 million from $11.2 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by staff returning from furlough as venues began to reopen. This $14.0 million increase was driven by the increase in costs of retail-based operations reopening ($8.3 million from staff returning from furlough, $0.8 million from additional fleet costs and $0.7 million of additional distribution costs), as well as incremental VAT costs of $1.4 million and refinancing costs of $0.8 million (both of which are excluded from Adjusted EBITDA).

Net Loss during the quarter increased to $43.8 million compared to a net loss of $26.2 million in the prior year period primarily due to the $14.4 million charge related to the write-off of previously capitalized debt fees following the refinancing and the $10.5 million charge related to the change in fair value of warrant liability, partly offset by the decrease in net operating loss of $4.2 million.

Total Company Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities Less Capital Expenditures during the quarter decreased to an outflow of $18.2 million from an outflow of $5.4 million in the second quarter 2020. Management believes this decrease was primarily driven by events surrounding COVID-19-related closures and interest expense timing associated with refinancing and that these matters are unlikely to repeat in future periods.  

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, including EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, to analyze our operating performance. We use these financial measures to manage our business on a day-to-day basis. We believe that these measures are also commonly used in our industry to measure performance. For these reasons, we believe that these non-GAAP financial measures provide expanded insight into our business, in addition to standard U.S. GAAP financial measures. There are no specific rules or regulations for defining and using non-GAAP financial measures, and as a result the measures we use may not be comparable to measures used by other companies, even if they have similar labels. The presentation of non-GAAP financial information should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, or superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. You should consider our non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with our U.S. GAAP financial measures.

We define our non-GAAP financial measures as follows:

EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net loss excluding depreciation and amortization, interest expense, interest income and income tax expense, and other additional exclusions and adjustmentsSuch additional excluded amounts include stock-based compensation U.S. GAAP charges where the associated liability is expected to be settled in stock, and changes in the value of earnout liabilities and income and expenditure in relation to legacy portions of the business (being those portions where trading no longer occurs) including closed defined benefit pension schemes. Additional adjustments are made for items considered outside the normal course of business, including (1) restructuring costs, which include charges attributable to employee severance, management changes, restructuring, dual running costs, costs related to facility closures and integration costs, (2) merger and acquisition costs and (3) gains or losses not in the ordinary course of business. This does not include any adjustments related to COVID-19.

We believe Adjusted EBITDA, when considered along with other performance measures, is a particularly useful performance measure, because it focuses on certain operating drivers of the business, including sales growth, operating costs, selling and administrative expense and other operating income and expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA can provide a more complete understanding of our operating results and the trends to which we are subject, and an enhanced overall understanding of our financial performance and prospects for the future. Adjusted EBITDA is not intended to be a measure of liquidity or cash flows from operations or a measure comparable to net income or loss, because it does not take into account certain aspects of our operating performance (for example, it excludes non-recurring gains and losses which are not deemed to be a normal part of underlying business activities). Our use of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to the use by other companies of similarly termed measures. Management compensates for these limitations by using Adjusted EBITDA as only one of several measures for evaluating our operating performance. In addition, capital expenditures, which affect depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and income tax benefit (expense), are evaluated separately by management.

Adjusted EBITDA Margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Functional Currency at Constant rate. Currency impacts shown have been calculated as the current-period average GBP: USD rate less the equivalent average rate in the prior period, multiplied by the current period amount in our functional currency (GBP). The remaining difference, referred to as functional currency at constant rate, is calculated as the difference in our functional currency, multiplied by the prior-period average GBP: USD rate, as a proxy for functional currency at constant rate movement.

Currency Movement represents the difference between the results in our reporting currency (USD) and the results on a functional currency at constant rate basis.

Reconciliations from net loss, as shown in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Loss, to Adjusted EBITDA are shown below.
