Condition.

On
December 8, 2009, Multimedia Games, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release
announcing the results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year 2009, which ended
on September 30, 2009, and is incorporated by reference into this
Item 2.02. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the
announcement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit
99.1.
Use of
Non-GAAP Financial Information
The
Company uses the non-GAAP measure of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA in its earnings
releases. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes,
amortization, depreciation, and accretion of contract
rights. Adjusted EBITDA represents the calculation of EBITDA, as
defined in the Company’s amended credit agreement, as adjusted, for the purpose
of evaluating compliance with the Company’s credit
agreement. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated
in accordance with GAAP, the Company believes the use of the non-GAAP financial
measure EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of the Company’s past financial
performance, and provides useful information to the investor because of its
historical use by the Company as a performance measure, and the use of EBITDA by
other companies in the gaming equipment sector as a measure of performance.
However, investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a
substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for
determining the Company’s operating performance 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 non-GAAP financial measure included in the press release
has been reconciled to the corresponding GAAP financial measures as required
under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the use of
non-GAAP financial measures.
The
information regarding Item 2.02 in this Form 8-K and the Exhibit attached hereto
shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (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 or the Exchange Act, except as
expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
