Description of the Business
We are a leading developer of technology-based products and services and associated content for the worldwide gaming, lottery, social and digital gaming industries. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities primarily includes supplying gaming machines and game content, casino-management systems and table game products and services to licensed gaming entities; providing instant and draw-based lottery products, lottery systems and lottery content and services to lottery operators; providing social casino gaming solutions to retail consumers; and providing a comprehensive suite of digital RMG and sports wagering solutions, distribution platforms, content, products and services. We report our operations in four business segments—Gaming, Lottery, SciPlay and Digital.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SGC, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in other entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest but we exert significant influence are accounted for in our consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of SGC and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive (loss) income and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2019 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
Impact of COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the rapidly spreading COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, governments across the world implemented a number of measures to prevent its spread, including but not limited to, the temporary closure of a substantial number of gaming operations establishments and disruptions to lottery operations, travel restrictions, and cancellation of sporting events, which are affecting our business segments in a number of ways. These disruptions to our business segments as a result of COVID-19 have had and continue to have an adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

Based on our current estimates regarding the magnitude and length of the disruptions to our business, we do not anticipate these disruptions will impact our ability to meet our obligations when due or our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants for at least the next 12 months. However, the ultimate magnitude and length of time that the disruptions from COVID-19 will continue is highly uncertain. This uncertainty will require us to continually assess the situation, including the impact of changes to government imposed restrictions, market by market. Accordingly, our estimates regarding the magnitude and length of time that these disruptions will continue to impact our results of operations, cash flows and financial condition may change in the future and such changes could be material.

As of March 31, 2020, our total available liquidity (excluding our SciPlay business segment) was $684 million, which included $483 million of undrawn availability under SGI’s revolving credit facility. On April 9, 2020, we borrowed $480 million under SGI’s revolving credit facility, which was substantially all of the remaining availability thereunder. We have implemented a number of measures to proactively reduce operating costs, conserve liquidity and navigate through this unprecedented situation. These include measures such as: reductions in both salaries and workforce, including voluntary 50% or greater reductions in salaries by our executive leadership team (100% as to our President and Chief Executive Officer), unpaid employee furloughs, reductions in hours, temporary elimination of 401(k) matching among other compensation and benefits reductions, and deferral of certain operating and capital expenditures. We are also engaging with our vendors to negotiate concessions on the timing and amount of payments to preserve liquidity through the COVID-19 disruption period. We continue to actively manage our daily cash flows and continue to evaluate additional measures that will reduce operating costs and conserve cash.
Our only financial maintenance covenant (excluding SciPlay’s Revolver) is contained in SGI’s credit agreement. Prior to the Credit Agreement Amendment (as defined below) dated May 8, 2020, this covenant was tested at the end of each fiscal quarter and required us to not exceed a maximum consolidated net first lien leverage ratio of 5.00x Consolidated EBITDA (as
defined in the credit agreement). Prior to the Credit Agreement Amendment, this ratio stepped down to 4.75x beginning with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2020 and to 4.50x beginning with the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2021. Our consolidated net first lien leverage ratio as of March 31, 2020 was 4.38x. Additionally, the SciPlay Revolver requires that SciPlay maintain a maximum total net leverage ratio not to exceed 2.50x and maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 4.00x. We had no amounts drawn on our SciPlay Revolver as of March 31, 2020. We were in compliance with the financial covenants under all debt agreements as of March 31, 2020.

On May 8, 2020, the requisite lenders under SGI’s revolving credit facility agreed to amend the consolidated net first lien leverage ratio covenant in the credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to (a) implement a financial covenant relief period through the end of the first quarter ending March 31, 2021 (the “Covenant Relief Period”), as a result of which SGI is not required to maintain compliance with the consolidated net first lien leverage ratio covenant during the Covenant Relief Period, (b) reset the consolidated net first lien leverage ratio covenant following the Covenant Relief Period, (c) impose a minimum liquidity requirement (excluding SciPlay) of at least $275 million during the Covenant Relief Period with a potential step-down to at least $200 million for April and May 2021, (d) further restrict our ability to incur indebtedness and liens, make restricted payments and investments and prepay junior indebtedness during the Covenant Relief Period, subject to certain exceptions and further subject, in some instances, to maintaining minimum liquidity (excluding SciPlay) of at least $400 million and (e) establish a LIBOR floor of 0.500% on borrowings under the revolving credit facility during the Covenant Relief Period. The revised consolidated net first lien leverage ratio will be 6.00x Consolidated EBITDA beginning with the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021, stepping down as follows: (1) 5.75x beginning with the fourth quarter of 2021, (2) 5.25x beginning with the second quarter of 2022, (3) 4.75x beginning with the fourth quarter of 2022 and (4) 4.50x beginning with the second quarter of 2023 and thereafter. The revised consolidated net first lien leverage ratio will be based on Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement Amendment) as follows: (1) for the testing period ending June 30, 2021, Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2021 multiplied by 4, (2) for the testing period ending September 30, 2021, Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2021 and September 30, 2021 multiplied by 2, (3) for the testing period ending December 31, 2021, Consolidated EBITDA for the fiscal quarters ending June 30, 2021, September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2021 multiplied by 4/3 and (4) for all subsequent testing periods, Consolidated EBITDA for the previous twelve months including the quarter for the which the test is performed.

Additionally, changes to estimates related to the COVID-19 disruptions could result in other impacts, including but not limited to, additional goodwill impairments (see Note 8), indefinite-lived intangibles, long-lived asset and equity method investments impairment charges, inventory write downs and receivables credit allowance charges (see Note 5).

Significant Accounting Policies
        There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2019 10-K other than adoption of ASC 326 as described in Note 5.
Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Loss Per Share
Basic and diluted net loss attributable to SGC per share were the same for all periods presented as all common stock equivalents during those periods would be anti-dilutive. We excluded 1 million and 2 million of stock options from the diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We excluded 2 million of RSUs from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.
New Accounting Guidance - Recently Adopted

The FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) in 2016. The new guidance replaces the incurred loss impairment methodology in legacy U.S. GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. For trade and other receivables, loans and other financial instruments, we are required to use a forward-looking expected loss model rather than the incurred loss model for recognizing credit losses, which reflects losses that are probable. We adopted ASC 326 as of January 1, 2020 using the modified retrospective method for all financial assets measured at amortized cost, which resulted in a $6 million cumulative-effect adjustment increase to accumulated loss. See Note 5 for our credit losses policy and the adoption impact of ASC 326 on our consolidated financial statements.
        
The FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement, and several subsequent amendments (collectively, Topic 820) in 2018. The standard amends the required quantitative and qualitative disclosure requirements for recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our financial statement disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes, to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The guidance eliminates certain exceptions related to the approach for intraperiod tax allocation, the methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period, and the recognition of deferred tax liabilities for outside basis differences related to changes in ownership of equity method investments and foreign subsidiaries. The guidance also simplifies aspects of accounting for franchise taxes, enacted changes in tax laws or rates and clarifies the accounting for transactions that result in a step-up in the tax basis of goodwill. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020 and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. We adopted this standard effective January 1, 2020. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

We do not expect that any recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
