Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
|
On February 1, 2012, Multimedia Games Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the results for its fiscal first quarter 2012, which ended on December 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 in its earnings releases. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, amortization, depreciation, and accretion of contract rights. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes that the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of the Company’s past financial performance, and provides useful information to the investor because of its 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 this measure 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 is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, EBITDA may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The non-GAAP financial measure included in the press release has 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.
