International Game Technology PLC Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

International Game Technology PLC reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2024.
“2024 was a year of momentous transformation with the conclusion of our strategic review and the announced sale of our Gaming & Digital business for $4.05 billion in cash. Our unmatched capabilities in developing world-class Lottery solutions and innovative game content support several important investments to drive long-term growth and shareholder returns. We are well-positioned to continue strengthening our global lottery leadership,” Vince Sadusky, CEO of IGT, said.
“We delivered solid financial results in 2024, including robust cash flow generation to invest in the business, reduce debt, and return capital to shareholders. Our core, recurring business has a compelling low-to-mid single digit growth profile and provides a solid foundation as we head into our next CapEx cycle aimed at securing our portfolio and extending its duration to more than eight years,” Max Chiara, CFO of IGT, said.
Fourth Quarter 2024 Financial Highlights
Revenue of $651 million, down 4% compared to $681 million in the prior-year period, mainly due to comparisons with record product sales revenue in the prior year; current year period represents the second highest quarter for product sales revenue in Company history
• Strong instant ticket and draw game same-store sales growth across jurisdictions; Italy up 7.0%, 3.9% normalized for same number of selling days
• Elevated U.S. Multi-state Jackpot activity in the prior year inclusive of LMA incentive impact (which is recognized in Other service revenue)
• Higher central system software license, terminal, and instant ticket services in the prior year
• Negative impact of foreign currency rates
Operating income of $179 million compared to $197 million in the prior year, primarily driven by the items affecting Adjusted EBITDA as noted below, partially offset by lower restructuring costs
Income from continuing operations of $116 million versus $73 million in the prior-year period; income from continuing operations margin of 17.9% compared to 10.7% in the prior year
• Improvement in net interest expense primarily due to lower average borrowings on committed bank facilities and the refinancing of a senior-secured note at a lower coupon
• Foreign exchange gain versus foreign exchange loss in the prior year, primarily reflecting the non-cash impact of fluctuations in the EUR/USD exchange rate on debt
• Increased provision for income taxes primarily driven by higher pre-tax income and a discrete tax item, partially offset by foreign exchange gains that are taxable in a low-tax jurisdiction in the current year versus the impact of non-deductible foreign exchange losses in the prior year.

ULTIM8 SPORTSBOOK IFRAME: Ultimate Solution for Operators Who Have Seen It All

GR8 Tech launches ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame—an easy-to-launch solution designed specifically for the needs of experienced businesses: casino brands aiming to dominate sports betting without hiring an army of sportsbook specialists, or operators fed up with tech bottlenecks stunting their growth.
“We dedicate a lot of time to talking to the market, and one thing kept coming up: too many products are built for entry-level needs. That’s fine… until it is not. Operators that grow beyond the basics often hit a wall. Their current platform needs improvement and differentiation that comes slowly, if at all; at the same time, switching to something new just means discovering another set of limitations down the line,” shares Yevhen Krazhan, CSO at GR8 Tech. “There was clearly a gap—a well-formed demand for a solution tailored to mature operators who know what their players want and are done settling for tech that slows them down or boxes them in.”
ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame was created to tackle these advanced challenges, enabling operators to differentiate with market-leading content and a customizable front-end while maintaining full control over crucial areas like player engagement and risk management. Feature-rich right out of the box, the solution drives the ultimate revenue boost with its AI-driven toolset.
“ULTIM8 is built for results. Operators using our iFrame solution see up to 50% GGR uplift through features that come ready to deploy—odds personalization, parlay tools, and dynamic cashout,” comments Sergey Ghazaryan, CRO at GR8 Tech. “Coupled with the geo-tailored layouts and widget-based frontend flexibility, these things give operators the ability to shape the ultimate experience for their audiences, while keeping full control over performance and profitability.”
With all these advanced features, GR8 Tech’s ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame still maintains one of the key decisive factors of all iFrame solutions—quick launch time. As long as operators provide everything necessary for the launch from their end in time, the business can go live within just one week.
Sergey Ghazaryan adds: “GR8 Tech aims to become the first choice for operators looking for high-performance sportsbook-driven solutions. ULTIM8 Sportsbook iFrame is a very important step towards this goal—an ultimate showcase of our sportsbook expertise, packed in a convenient, easy-to-integrate form, tailored to the demands of the mature operators that have been unanswered up until now. Well—not anymore.”
