Excerpts from 2024 First Quarter Earnings Call Transcript

May 8, 2024

Randy Taylor

President and Chief Executive Officer of Everi Holdings Inc. ("Everi")

While we continue to make progress on our proposed merger, we have no specific update regarding antitrust or regulatory matters at this time.

Combining these businesses will provide greater resources and gives us more opportunities for success over a product life cycle.

Upon closing we will be able to work more closely with IGT's systems to provide products and services that reduce friction for casino operators and their customers. And as they do today, IGT's casino management systems will continue to interface with FinTech products from multiple providers.

The estimated $75 million in cash synergies and estimated $10 million in capital savings are driven by leveraging efficiencies that can be gained primarily through procurement productivity, streamlining the assembly processes and real estate optimization. They are not based on rationalizing existing product lines in the games business - which is where we believe previous supplier mergers have failed to deliver planned synergies.
