Item 12. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
On January 27, 2004, Multimedia Games, Inc. (the "Registrant") issued a press
release announcing its 2004 first quarter results and on the same date held a
related conference call to discuss these results. The full text of the press
release issued in connection with the announcement and the related conference
call transcript are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit Nos.
99.1 and 99.2, respectively. The January 27, 2004 press release and the
conference call transcript contain forward-looking statements regarding the
Registrant and include cautionary statements identifying important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the Exhibits attached
hereto shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to
the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by
reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the
Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a
filing.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Registrant uses the non-GAAP measure of EBITDA in its earnings releases.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"),
the Registrant believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA
enhances an overall understanding of the Registrant's past financial performance
and provides useful information to the investor, because of its historical use
by the Registrant as both a performance measure and measure of liquidity, and
the use of EBITDA by virtually all companies in the gaming equipment sector as a
measure of both performance and liquidity. However, investors should not
consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating
income, cash flows from operating activities or any other measure for
determining the Registrant's operating performance or liquidity that is
calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA is not
calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to
similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The Registrant has
included a reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial
measure, net income, in the attached press release.
