Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
|
On May 4, 2011, Multimedia Games Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the results for its fiscal second quarter 2011, which ended on March 31, 2011, and is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.02. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Company uses the non-GAAP measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in its earnings releases. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, depreciation, and accretion of contract rights. Adjusted EBITDA represents the calculation of EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s amended credit agreement, as adjusted, for the purpose of evaluating compliance with the Company’s credit agreement. Although EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measures EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA enhance an overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance, and provide useful information to the investor because of their historical use by the Company as a performance measure, and the use of EBITDA by other companies in the gaming equipment sector as a measure of performance. However, investors should not consider these measures in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining the Company’s operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not calculated in accordance with GAAP, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measures included in the press release have been reconciled to the corresponding GAAP financial measures as required under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of non-GAAP financial measures.
The information regarding Item 2.02 in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
