Second quarter revenue was $610 million compared to $581 million, up 5% compared to the prior year period. Prior year revenue benefited from $38 million VAT recovery, reducing the year-over-year revenue growth comparability by 7 percentage points.

The gaming business demonstrated continued strong momentum including growth in all lines of business year-over-year (excluding impact of VAT recovery benefit on Gaming Operations in the prior year period) and robust sequential growth in Gaming Operations and Game Sales. Revenue also benefited from year-over-year growth at SciPlay, while iGaming businesses momentum continued despite 7% unfavorable impact .

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities was $(37) million compared to $149 million in the prior year period, which includes the VAT recovery benefit described above. The current year cash flows were impacted by costs associated with the strategic review and related transactions and accelerated interest payments related to the debt pay down and refinancing transactions, coupled with investments to meet the growing demand from operators for our products.

iGaming revenue was $60 million, driven by growth in the U.S. market coupled with continued strong performance of acquired businesses and partially offset by $4 million in unfavorable impact of foreign-currency translation due to strengthening U.S. Dollar, impacting revenue by 7%
