BRIGHTSTAR LOTTERY PLC REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2025 RESULTS

prnewswire.com

LONDON, Nov. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Brightstar Lottery PLC (NYSE: BRSL) ("Brightstar" or the "Company") today reported financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025. Today, at 8:00 a.m. EST, management will host a conference call and webcast to present the results; access details are provided below.

"We achieved many milestones in Q3: closing the IGT Gaming sale for $4 billion in cash, executing our shareholder return plans, and completing the refocusing of the Company as a lottery pure play," said Vince Sadusky, CEO of Brightstar. "The better-than-expected Q3 revenue and profit results reflect a significant acceleration of same-store sales across all geographies. For nearly 50 years, our innovative products and services have helped our customers excel. The 2028 financial targets we are introducing today reflect a stronger organic growth profile that we believe will drive compelling, incremental value over the next few years."

"With $1.6 billion of cash and cash equivalents and net debt leverage of 2.3x at the end of Q3, we are well-positioned to execute on our strategic objectives," said Max Chiara, CFO of Brightstar. "As we released our mid-term targets, we expect to generate over $7 billion in gross cash in the 2025-2028 period, mostly allocated to funding organic growth, with $1.7 billion expected to be returned to shareholders over the same timeframe."

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

Third quarter revenue of $629 million, up 7% from $587 million in the prior year, primarily driven by:

Income from continuing operations was $95 million compared to loss from continuing operations of $46 million in the prior-year period, primarily resulting from:

Adjusted EBITDA increased 11% to $294 million versus $264 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to:

Diluted income per share from continuing operations was $0.29 compared to diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.39 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations was $0.36 compared to adjusted diluted loss per share from continuing operations of $0.02 in the prior year, primarily driven by higher income from continuing operations.

YTD 2025 Financial Highlights

Year-to-date revenue of $1.84 billion versus $1.86 billion in the prior-year period, primarily due to increased instant ticket and draw same-store sales, which were more than offset by higher LMA incentives in the prior year.

Income from continuing operations was $43 million compared to $154 million in the prior year period, primarily driven by:

Adjusted EBITDA of $818 million compares to $880 million in the prior year, primarily resulting from:

Diluted loss per share from continuing operations was $0.31 compared to diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.17 in the prior year. Adjusted diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of $0.55 compared to $0.46 in the prior year primarily driven by reductions in net interest, income tax, and general & administrative expenses, partially offset by higher gross profit in the prior year.

Net debt was $2.6 billion compared to $4.8 billion at December 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by approximately $2 billion in proceeds from the sale of IGT Gaming allocated to debt reduction. Net debt leverage was 2.3x.

Cash and Liquidity Update

Total liquidity was $3.2 billion as of September 30, 2025 with $1.6 billion in unrestricted cash and $1.6 billion in additional borrowing capacity from undrawn credit facilities; ample liquidity in advance of upcoming Italy Lotto upfront license fee payments.

Other Developments

On July 1, 2025, completed sale of IGT Gaming business for approximately $4 billion of net cash proceeds.

The Company's Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per common share, representing a 10% increase over historical levels, with a record date of November 18, 2025 and a payment date of December 2, 2025.

For U.S. income tax purposes, dividends paid in 2025 are expected to be classified as a non-taxable return of capital to the extent of a shareholder's basis in its shares, and thereafter as capital gain. For further information, see the Form 6-K which will be filed later today with the SEC, which is available on the SEC's website at www. se c.gov and on the investor relations section of the Company's website at www.brightstarlottery.com.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management supplements the reporting of financial information, determined under GAAP, with certain non-GAAP financial information. Management believes the non-GAAP information presented provides investors with additional useful information, but it is not intended to, nor should it be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the related GAAP measures. Moreover, other companies may define non-GAAP measures differently, which limits the usefulness of these measures for comparisons with such other companies. The Company encourages investors to review its financial statements and publicly filed reports in their entirety and not to rely on any single financial measure.

Adjusted EBIT represents net income (loss) from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, interest expense, net, foreign exchange gain (loss), net, other expenses (e.g., gains/losses on extinguishment and modifications of debt, etc.), net, impairment losses, restructuring expenses, stock-based compensation, litigation expense (income), and certain other non-recurring items. Other non-recurring items are infrequent in nature and are not reflective of ongoing operational activities. Management believes that Adjusted EBIT is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Adjusted EBIT margin represents Adjusted EBIT divided by revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA represents net income (loss) from continuing operations (a GAAP measure) before income taxes, interest expense, net, foreign exchange gain (loss), net, other expenses (e.g., gains/losses on extinguishment and modifications of debt, etc.), net, depreciation, impairment losses, amortization (service revenue, purchase accounting, and non-purchase accounting), restructuring expenses, stock-based compensation, litigation expense (income), and certain other non-recurring items. Other non-recurring items are infrequent in nature and are not reflective of ongoing operational activities. Management believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Adjusted EBITDA margin represents Adjusted EBITDA divided by revenue.

Adjusted EPS represents diluted earnings per share (a GAAP measure), excluding the effects of foreign exchange, impairments, amortization from purchase accounting, discrete tax items, and other significant non-recurring adjustments that are not reflective of on-going operational activities (e.g., gains/losses on sale of business, gains/losses on extinguishment and modifications of debt, etc.). Adjusted EPS is calculated using diluted weighted-average number of shares outstanding, including the impact of any potentially dilutive common stock equivalents that are anti-dilutive to GAAP net income (loss) per share but dilutive to Adjusted EPS. Management believes that Adjusted EPS is useful in providing period-to-period comparisons of the results of the Company's ongoing operational performance.

Net debt is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents debt (a GAAP measure, calculated as long-term obligations plus short-term borrowings) minus capitalized debt issuance costs and cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents classified as held for sale. Cash and cash equivalents, including cash and cash equivalents held for sale, are subtracted from the GAAP measure because they could be used to reduce the Company's debt obligations. Management believes that net debt is a useful measure to monitor leverage and evaluate the balance sheet.

Net debt leverage is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents the ratio of Net debt as of a particular balance sheet date to Adjusted EBITDA for the last twelve months prior to such date. Management believes that net debt leverage is a useful measure to assess Brightstar's financial strength and ability to incur incremental indebtedness when making key investment decisions.

Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure that represents cash flow from operations (a GAAP measure) less capital expenditures. Management believes free cash flow is a useful measure of liquidity and an additional basis for assessing Brightstar's ability to fund its activities, including debt service and distribution of earnings to shareholders.

Constant currency is a non-GAAP adjustment to certain financial measures that expresses current financial data using the prior-year/period exchange rate (i.e., the exchange rate used in preparing the financial statements for the prior year). Management believes that constant currency is a useful measure to compare period-to-period results without regard to the impact of fluctuating foreign currency exchange rates.

A reconciliation of the non-GAAP measures to the corresponding amounts prepared in accordance with GAAP appears in the tables in this release. The tables provide additional information as to the items and amounts that have been excluded from the adjusted measures.

The Company provides guidance of select information related to its financial and operating performance, and such measures may differ from year to year. The guidance is only an estimate of what the Company believes is realizable as of the date of this release. Actual results may vary from the guidance and the variations may be material. The Company undertakes no intent or obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

A reconciliation of the Company's forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure cannot be provided without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of accurately forecasting the occurrence and financial impact of the adjusting items necessary for such a reconciliation to be prepared, for example, the provision for income taxes or net foreign exchange gain/loss, as such items have not yet occurred, are out of the Company's control, or cannot be reasonably predicted.
