Las Vegas-based SHFL Entertainment stated that its utility, electronic gaming machine and proprietary table games businesses ‘all saw double-digit growth over the same period last year’ while recurring revenues grew by eight percent year-on-year to $31.2 million.
SHFL Entertainment revealed that quarterly net income improved by 22 percent year-on-year to a record $11.8 million while its gross margin, which it declared was driven by an rise in utility, electronic gaming machine and proprietary tables games earnings, swelled by 40 basis points when compared with the same period in 2012 to 65 percent.
“Our record second quarter results reflect a continuation of the strong worldwide demand for our innovative products, particularly in Australia and Asia,” said Gavin Isaacs, Chief Executive Officer for SHFL Entertainment.
“What’s more, we achieved 17 percent year-on-year growth against a strong comparable quarter last year that included over two million dollars in sales from new openings. The MD3 card shuffler helped fuel this quarter’s growth with record placements of 520 units, its strongest performance to date. Our slot machine, shuffler and specialty table games businesses continued to gain momentum with each segment reporting record revenues in the quarter. Given the 22 percent increase in net profits that we announced today, we strongly believe that consistent execution against our strategic initiatives is the right blueprint for building long-term sustainable value for our shareholders.”
