LAS
VEGAS, May 12, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Progressive Gaming International
Corporation(R) (NASDAQ: PGIC)
Progressive
Gaming International Corporation(R) (NASDAQ: PGIC) ("the Company"), a leading
provider of diversified technology and system solutions used in the gaming
industry worldwide, today reported results for the first quarter period
ended March 31, 2008. The Company also reiterated its full year 2008 financial
guidance and provided guidance for 1H 2008 revenues.
Progressive
Gaming also announced that it intends to retire the remaining portion of
its 11.875% Senior Secured Notes due in August 2008 with proceeds from
an expected strategic technology investment and new bank credit facility
(both of which the Company intends to finalize shortly). After giving effect
to the April 30, 2008 semi-annual interest payment of approximately $2
million, the Company's current cash and cash equivalents are relatively
consistent with the March 31, 2008 balances (see Balance Sheet on page
8). Progressive's current cash and cash equivalents and the expected refinancing
of the remaining portion of the 11.875% Senior Secured Notes are anticipated
to provide the Company with significant financial flexibility and liquidity
to further expand its operations.
2008
First Quarter Financial Review:
Systems
revenues, now reported as the sole component of revenues from continuing
operations, rose 3%, or $0.5 million, to $15.2 million for the quarter
ended March 31, 2008 from $14.7 million in the same period a year ago.
The 2007 first quarter period has been adjusted for the discontinued operations
of the slot and table games division. As a result, the now reported systems
revenues of $14.7 million for the 2007 first quarter include approximately
$1.1 million of game station and intellectual property license revenues
that were previously classified as slot and table games revenues. The Company
incurred a net loss from continuing operations in the three months ended
March 31, 2008 of approximately $7.0 million, or $0.11 per share, compared
to a net loss from continuing operations of approximately $7.4 million,
or $0.21 per share for the three months ended March 31, 2007. There were
approximately 62.0 million and 34.8 million weighted average shares outstanding
in the March 2008 and March 2007 quarterly periods, respectively.
The
slot management systems installed base as of March 31, 2008 was 80,573,
representing year-over-year growth of 29%, or 18,298 systems. The 6% quarterly
sequential growth was in line with the quarterly sequential growth achieved
in the prior year period and reflects the normal seasonality in the Company's
business in which the first quarter is historically the slowest period
for new slot management system installations. The Company installed 4,234
slot management systems in the first quarter of 2008, or approximately
17% of its expected full year total of 24,261, which represents expected
full year growth of approximately 32%. The percentage of slot management
systems installed in the first quarter of 2008 compared to the anticipated
full year total is in line with the 19% level achieved in the first quarter
of 2007.
The
installed base of table management systems as of March 31, 2008 was 6,533,
more than double the installed base as of March 31, 2007, and representing
quarterly sequential growth of 14%, or 793 table management systems. The
793 table management systems installed during the first quarter represents
25% of the expected 2008 full year table management system installations
of 3,160 systems.

Commenting
on the results, Progressive Gaming International Corporation President
and Chief Executive Officer, Russel McMeekin, stated, "Our 2008 first quarter
systems installation growth is consistent with our expectations in what
is historically our seasonally slowest period. We remain on plan, and expect
to achieve, our full year revenue, systems installations and gross margins
targets. Since positioning the Company in 2007 to focus exclusively on
the high-margin revenue opportunities associated with our slot and table
management systems offerings, we have significantly and consistently increased
the penetration of these products in key markets such as Europe, Asia and
Canada. Additionally, we have recently expanded into Latin America where
we currently have $3 million of backlog in contracts year-to-date with
significant future potential in this rapidly growing region.

Progressive
Gaming International Corporation(R) (NASDAQ: PGIC) ("the Company"), a leading
provider of diversified technology and content products and services used
in the gaming industry worldwide, today reported revenues of $16.9 million
and a net loss of approximately $8.7 million, or $0.25 per share, for the
quarter ended March 31, 2007, compared to revenues of $16.9 million and
a net loss of $8.8 million, or $0.26 per share in the comparable year ago
period. The first quarter 2007 operating results do not include approximately
$3.8 million in revenues, representing $0.11 per fully diluted share, related
to several large systems arrangements that were completed in the first
quarter of 2007, but which, pursuant to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
("GAAP"), will be recorded in the second quarter of 2007.
Excluding
the results of the Company's Table Games Division ("TGD"), pro forma revenues
in the 2007 first quarter were approximately $15.1 million compared to
pro forma revenues of approximately $14.5 million in the prior year period.
In the first quarter of 2007, the Company's systems business grew approximately
22% on a year-over-year basis when including the $3.8 million that was
deferred in the first quarter of 2007. At March 31, 2007, the Company had
approximately 5,558 CasinoLink(R) Jackpot Systems(TM) ("CJS") installations,
representing approximately 46% of the Company's target of approximately
12,000 CJS systems installations at December 31, 2007.
First Quarter 2007 Highlights:
-- Continued expansion of systems installations with presence in
over 33 countries and 21 North American jurisdictions as of
March 31, 2007.
-- Significant quarterly sequential growth in slot management
systems, including approximately 2,400 CJS and over 800
CasinoLink(R) installations.
-- Several large systems installations were completed and
installed in the first quarter of 2007 but pursuant to GAAP,
the revenue related to these installations will not be
recorded until the second quarter of 2007. As a result,
approximately $3.8 million of revenue will be reflected in the
Company's second quarter results. These installations are
included in the reported installed base figures in this press
release and in aggregate, these systems installations are
expected to contribute multi-year recurring revenues of over
$0.6 million annually.
-- Adjusted Pro Forma EBITDA was $1.3 million, which left the
Company in compliance with the financial covenants under its
$22.5 million Senior Credit Facility. Adjusted Pro Forma
EBITDA is defined in the Company's credit facility as EBITDA
plus non-cash stock compensation cost plus the change in
deferred revenues.
-- Initiated the process for sale of TGD as part of ongoing focus
on streamlining operations to focus on the Company's core
systems business.

Gaming International Provides Update on Fourth Quarter Financial Results
and Progress with Casinolink(R) Jackpot System Deployment
Issues
Financial Guidance for Fiscal 2007
Revenues
of $85 Million to $95 Million
Gross
Margins of 54% to 58%
LAS
VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 20, 2007--Progressive Gaming International
Corporation (Nasdaq:PGIC) (the Company), a leading provider of systems
and technology used in the gaming industry worldwide, issued an update
today on its revenues and installed base for the fourth quarter ended December
31, 2006 and provided financial guidance for the fiscal year ended December
31, 2007.
The
Company announced today that approximately $4.5 million (representing approximately
3,500 games) of Casinolink(R) Jackpot Systems(TM) ("CJS") and Casinolink(R)
Enterprise installations originally expected to be recorded in the fourth
quarter of 2006 are now expected to be recorded in fiscal 2007. The installations,
which were completed in various stages during the fourth quarter of 2006,
will be recorded upon receipt of formal customer acceptance documentation.
The Company expects to record revenues of approximately $16 - $17 million
for the fourth quarter of 2006, subject to final audit procedures, and
expects to report an installed base of CJS games of approximately 3,100
at December 31, 2006 compared to 1,900 at September 30, 2006.
The
Company intends to file a press release with full fourth quarter financial
results after the market closes on March 5, 2007. A conference call to
discuss the Company's operating results will be hosted by management on
March 6, 2007 at 8:00 AM PST.
Chief
Financial Officer Heather Rollo commented: "Our business momentum remains
strong; however, the transition to a systems company will continue to create
variances in our quarterly results. We intend to mitigate these quarterly
variances through the growth of our installation base and related daily
fee revenues. Our daily fees on systems contracts increased by over 50%
in the fourth quarter of 2006 compared to the same quarter in 2005 and
we are anticipating even higher growth in 2007. The fourth quarter 2006
revenue growth does not include the daily fees associated with the $4.5
million of transactions referred to above. During the fourth quarter of
2006, we were required to pre-pay certain inventories in conjunction with
our system installations. However, we continue to require the majority
of our CJS and Casinolink customers to pay a significant deposit upon execution
of their contract to mitigate the upfront costs of inventory. We anticipate
our cash balance at December 31, 2006 to be relatively consistent with
prior periods."
