Scientific Games Corp reported fourth-quarter net loss of $37 million compared to net income of $207 million.

Fourth-quarter revenues was $863 million compared to $886 million in the prior year period. This was largely driven by lower Gaming revenue primarily due to fewer systems launches in Canada compared to last year and lower machine unit sales.

Barry Cottle, CEO and President of Scientific Games, said, “This past year, we made great strides in developing the best games, attracting industry leading talent, and improving our capital structure. I’m confident we have the right team in place to reach our goal to be the market leader across land-based gaming, lottery, sports and digital gaming driven by leading content and the platforms that enable play anywhere and anytime.  Our recent contract and deal wins across our businesses, and the globe, highlight that we are on the right path.”

Michael Quartieri, Chief Financial Officer of Scientific Games, added, “We reduced our net debt by over $460 million in 2019, while successfully completing two refinancing transactions that will significantly reduce our cash interest costs going forward and extended our maturities.
