Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies	Description of the Business We are a leading cross-platform global games company with a focus on content and digital markets. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities primarily includes supplying game content and gaming machines, CMSs and table game products and services to licensed gaming entities; providing social casino and other mobile games, including casual gaming, to retail customers; and providing a comprehensive suite of digital gaming content, distribution platforms, player account management systems, as well as various other iGaming content and services. We report our results of operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. Our common stock is listed on The Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker symbol “LNW.” Our common stock is also listed as CDIs on the ASX and commenced active trading on May 22, 2023 (AEST) under the ticker symbol “LNW.” On October 23, 2023, we acquired the remaining approximately 17% equity interest in SciPlay not already owned by us pursuant to a merger (the “SciPlay Merger”) in an all-cash transaction of $496 million, excluding transaction fees and expenses. As a result of the SciPlay Merger, SciPlay ceased to be publicly traded and became a wholly owned subsidiary of L&W. Upon completion of the SciPlay Merger, the SciPlay Revolver was terminated. There were no borrowings outstanding under the SciPlay Revolver at the time of termination. We completed the sales of our former Lottery Business and Sports Betting Business during the second and third quarters of 2022, respectively. We have reflected the prior period financial results of these Divested Businesses as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations. Refer to Note 2 for further information. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures included herein relate to our continuing operations. Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of L&W, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of L&W and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive 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 2022 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year. Significant Accounting Policies There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K. Other Income, net Other income, net includes gains and losses from foreign currency transactions, interest income, earnings (losses) from equity investments and other items. Other income, net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 primarily consisted of a gain of $30 million and a loss of $9 million, respectively, related to foreign currency transactions as well as $10 million and $28 million, respectively, in interest income. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses as well as interest income were not material for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Income Attributable to L&W Per Share Basic and diluted net income attributable to L&W per share are based upon net income attributable to L&W divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income attributable to L&W per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and RSUs only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive to net income from continuing operations. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, we included 1 million and 2 million, respectively, of common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted net income attributable to L&W per share, and for the three months ended September 30, 2022, we included 2 million of common stock equivalents in the calculation of diluted net income attributable to L&W per share. Basic and diluted net income attributable to L&W per share were the same for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, as all common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive for that period. We excluded 2 million of stock options and 2 million of RSUs outstanding from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2022. New Accounting Guidance There have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements since those described within the Notes of our 2022 10-K that are expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
