Light & Wonder, Inc. (NASDAQ and ASX: LNW) (“Light & Wonder,” “L&W,” “we” or the “Company”) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.

Light & Wonder delivered another quarter of strong earnings and cash flows underpinned by disciplined execution and game performance, while continuing to advance our robust content roadmap and cross-platform strategy, as demonstrated at G2E and AGE. Consolidated revenue of $841 million increased by 3%, while Net income rose 78% to $114 million, driving Net income per share ⁽⁴⁾ up 89% to $1.34, compared to the prior year period. Consolidated AEBITDA ⁽¹⁾ grew 18% to $375 million, and Adjusted NPATA ⁽¹⁾ increased 25% to $153 million, or 35% on a per share basis ⁽¹⁾⁽⁴⁾ to $1.81. Gaming revenue grew 4% to $558 million compared to the prior year period, with the increase primarily driven by Gaming operations revenue, which increased 38% to $241 million. This was driven by a 15% increase, or $26 million, in base Gaming operations revenue and an incremental $40 million contribution from Grover charitable gaming (“Grover”). Gaming operations in the North American premium installed base has grown for 21 consecutive quarters while Grover added 229 units on a sequential basis. iGaming delivered quarterly record revenue with AEBITDA margin (“margin”) expansion primarily on sustained U.S. momentum underpinned by first-party content proliferation and partner network growth, while SciPlay continued to grow DTC revenue.

During the third quarter, we generated $184 million in net cash provided by operating activities and $136 million in free cash flow ⁽¹⁾ , representing 55% and 64% year-over-year growth, respectively, while we returned $111 million to shareholders through share repurchases and an additional $101 million subsequent to the third quarter through October 31, 2025, which brought us to approximately 51% utilization of our authorized $1.5 billion share repurchase program, with remaining capacity of $735 million. Since the initiation of the prior share repurchase program in March of 2022 and through October 31, 2025, the Company has returned $1.5 billion to shareholders by repurchasing 19.9 million shares, representing 21% of total outstanding shares prior to the commencement of the programs. We also successfully extended certain debt maturities from 2028 to 2033 while lowering the interest rate, as described further below.

Matt Wilson, President and Chief Executive Officer of Light & Wonder , said, “I want to thank all stakeholders for their continued support, as we work toward completion of our transition to a sole primary listing on the Australian Securities Exchange (“ASX”) ⁽¹⁾ , where we’ve been listed since 2022. This move simplifies our listing structure for shareholders and further enhances Light & Wonder’s profile within a Gaming-attuned Australian market. Our R&D engine continues to deliver world-class content, reflected in another strong quarter for Gaming operations and record iGaming performance. We are reinvesting in the business to drive long-term sustained growth, as evidenced by the number and quality of new games and hardware showcased at this year’s G2E. Additionally, we are thrilled to report that the integration of Grover Gaming into our omni-channel strategy is progressing well. The team is fully prepared to participate in the opening of the Indiana charitable gaming market, expected in the coming months.”

Oliver Chow, Chief Financial Officer of Light & Wonder , said, “Our continued focus on operational excellence and disciplined execution once again drove year-over-year Net income and Consolidated AEBITDA ⁽²⁾ growth. We are also pleased with the strong cash flow generated this quarter, which continued the trend we have seen throughout the year. Combined with our disciplined capital allocation program, we have now completed approximately 51% ⁽³⁾ of our expanded share buyback program, underscoring our confidence in the business, balance sheet flexibility and our ongoing commitment to returning value to shareholders. We remain committed to taking advantage of attractive opportunities to accelerate our repurchase program, while delivering on our long-term financial objectives.”

LEVERAGE, CAPITAL ALLOCATION AND BUSINESS UPDATE

• Returned $111 million of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of approximately 1.2 million shares of L&W common stock (“Shares”) during the quarter. The Company has completed $765 million of its authorized $1.5 billion share repurchase program this year as of October 31, 2025, and since initiation of the prior share repurchase program in March of 2022 through October 31, 2025, the Company has returned $1.5 billion to shareholders through the repurchase of 19.9 million shares, representing 21% of total outstanding shares prior to the commencement of the programs. We retain discretion to accelerate repurchase activity to capitalize on opportunities to deliver enduring value creation for shareholders. We expect to utilize a meaningful share of the remaining available $735 million capacity prior to the end of 2025 ⁽⁴⁾ across both our Nasdaq and ASX listings ⁽¹⁾ , while preserving a healthy liquidity position. Pending the extent of share repurchase activity, our net debt leverage ratio ⁽²⁾ may move slightly above the high end of the targeted range, near term. However, if that were to occur, we would expect to quickly return within our targeted net debt leverage ratio ⁽⁵⁾ range of 2.5x to 3.5x, underpinned by the business’s strong cash flow generation capabilities. We retain a highly flexible capital structure that allows us to deploy balance sheet capacity opportunistically when appropriate, and absent any capital allocation opportunities, we aim to position at the lower end of the range over the long run.
• Principal face value of debt outstanding ⁽⁶⁾ was $5.0 billion , translating to a net debt leverage ratio ⁽²⁾ of 3.5x as of September 30, 2025 or combined net debt leverage ratio ⁽²⁾ of 3.3x, which remained within our targeted net debt leverage ratio ⁽⁵⁾ range of 2.5x to 3.5x. This reflects a reduction in our net debt leverage ratio ⁽²⁾ from June 30, 2025, despite the increased volume of our share repurchases, capitalizing on market dislocation and consistent with our capital allocation strategy.
• Issued $1 billion in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% senior unsecured notes due 2033 on September 24, 2025 (“2033 Unsecured Notes”). The net proceeds of the 2033 Unsecured Notes were used to pay all $700 million of the outstanding principal amount of our senior unsecured notes due 2028, thereby extending the maturity of our outstanding bonds from 2028 to 2033 and reducing the interest rate from 7.00% to 6.25%. The proceeds were also used to pay all outstanding borrowings under our revolving line of credit and to pay accrued and unpaid interest, fees and expenses related to these debt transactions, with any remaining proceeds to be used for general corporate purposes, including our share repurchase program.

LEVERAGE, CAPITAL ALLOCATION AND BUSINESS UPDATE (Continued)

• FY 2025 Financial outlook — The Company maintains its full-year 2025 financial outlook, consistent with the outlook shared last quarter. The Consolidated AEBITDA guidance ⁽¹⁾ range remains between $1.43 billion and $1.47 billion, and the associated Adjusted NPATA guidance ⁽¹⁾ range remains between $550 million and $575 million. The Company remains committed to its long-term strategy and value creation.
• Sole primary listing on the ASX — We are in the process of moving from our current dual listing on Nasdaq and the ASX to a sole primary listing on the ASX, and we are on schedule to complete this transition with the previously announced timeline on October 13, 2025 ⁽²⁾ . As of November 4, 2025, holders of 46.4 million Shares, representing approximately 57% of the total outstanding Shares as of such date, have converted their Shares to CHESS Depositary Interests tradable on the ASX.

SUMMARY RESULTS

Third Quarter 2025 Financial Highlights

• Third quarter consolidated revenue was $841 million compared to $817 million, a 3% increase versus the prior year period. Growth was primarily driven by a 4% increase in Gaming revenue coupled with record iGaming revenue, which grew 16% compared to the prior year period. SciPlay revenue decreased by 4%, but the business continued to expand its direct-to-consumer revenue to 20% of the total SciPlay revenue. Grover contributed $40 million to consolidated revenue during the third quarter of 2025.
• Net income increased 78% to $114 million, compared to $64 million in the prior year, supported by consolidated revenue growth and record margins across all businesses, reflecting continued operational efficiencies and disciplined cost management, as well as lower restructuring and other costs related to certain legal reserves recorded in the prior year. Net income per share ⁽¹⁾ increased by 89% to $1.34, compared to $0.71 in the prior year period.
• Consolidated AEBITDA ⁽²⁾ was $375 million, compared to $319 million in the prior year period, an 18% increase primarily driven by revenue growth from Gaming and iGaming coupled with strong margin expansion across all businesses and contributions from Grover.
• Adjusted NPATA ⁽²⁾ increased 25% to $153 million, as compared to $122 million in the prior year period, primarily benefiting from revenue growth and expanded margins across all businesses, including Grover contributions. Adjusted NPATA per share (EPSa) ⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ increased 35% to $1.81, compared to $1.34 in the prior year period.
• Net cash provided by operating activities was $184 million, compared to $119 million in the prior year period, reflecting earnings strength and lower cash tax payments, partially offset by changes in working capital, including higher interest payments as a result of debt transactions and $13 million in costs related to the Grover acquisition and pending ASX transition ⁽³⁾ .
• Free cash flow ⁽²⁾ was $136 million, compared to $83 million in the prior year period. The increase was primarily driven by the same factors impacting net cash provided by operating activities as described above.

Third Quarter 2025 Business Segments Key Highlights

• Gaming revenue was $558 million, up 4% compared to the prior year period, primarily driven by Gaming operations, which grew $66 million, or 38%, benefiting from an increase in our North American installed base of 2,834 units ⁽¹⁾ , or 9% year-over-year, to 35,985 units ⁽¹⁾ . Our North American premium installed base (excluding Grover contributions) grew for the 21 ^st consecutive quarter, representing 52% of our total North American installed base mix. The increase in Gaming revenue also benefited from Table products revenue increasing 6%, partially offset by Gaming machine sales decreasing 21% due to the timing of game sales. Our diversified portfolio of successful game franchises and the continued proliferation of our COSMIC ^® , COSMIC UPRIGHT and HORIZON ^® cabinets continued to drive growth and strong performance. Grover also contributed $40 million to Gaming operations revenue and had over 11,250 active devices included as a part of the installed base as of the end of the third quarter of 2025, which is an increase of 229 units on a sequential basis, or over 850 units since announcing the acquisition in February of 2025. Gaming AEBITDA was $305 million, up 14% compared to the prior year period, primarily due to revenue growth and margin expansion of 500 basis points, inclusive of Grover contributions.
• SciPlay revenue was $197 million, a 4% decrease compared to the prior year period due to a decline in average monthly payers primarily attributable to JACKPOT PARTY ^® Casino, which was partially offset by an increase in average monthly revenue per paying user. The social casino business continued to deliver quality player monetization, leveraging game content and dynamic Live Ops through the SciPlay Engine. SciPlay increased its ARPDAU ⁽²⁾ 4% to $1.08 year-over-year and grew AMRPPU ⁽³⁾ by 11% to $126.23. AEBITDA increased 8% to $71 million, reflecting margin expansion of 400 basis points primarily driven by our growing direct-to-consumer platform, which generated $40 million, or 20% of the total SciPlay revenue for the quarter.
• iGaming revenue increased 16% to $86 million, and AEBITDA increased 42% to $34 million for the current year period, both reaching record levels. Revenue growth for the period reflected continued momentum in North America underpinned by first-party content proliferation and the expansion of our partner network. Wagers processed through our iGaming platform reached a quarterly record of $28.0 billion.
• Capital expenditures were $79 million in the third quarter of 2025, as compared to $71 million in the prior year period.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Management uses the following non-GAAP financial measures in conjunction with GAAP financial measures: Adjusted NPAT, Adjusted NPATA, Adjusted NPATA per share (on a diluted basis) (also referred to as EPSa), Normalized EBITA, Consolidated AEBITDA, Grover Adjusted EBITDA, Combined AEBITDA, Consolidated AEBITDA margin, Free cash flow, Net debt, Net debt leverage ratio and Combined net debt leverage ratio (each, as described more fully below). These non-GAAP financial measures are presented as supplemental disclosures. They should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s financial statements filed with the SEC. The non-GAAP financial measures used by the Company may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Following our dual listing and pending transition to a sole primary listing on the ASX, Management introduced usage of Adjusted NPAT, Adjusted NPATA, Adjusted NPATA per share (EPSa) and Normalized EBITA, all of which are non-GAAP financial measures and are widely used to measure the performance as well as a principal basis for valuation of gaming and other companies listed on the ASX.

Specifically, Management uses Consolidated AEBITDA to, among other things: (i) monitor and evaluate the performance of the Company’s operations; (ii) facilitate Management’s internal and external comparisons of the Company’s consolidated historical operating performance; and (iii) analyze and evaluate financial and strategic planning decisions regarding future operating investments and operating budgets.

In addition, Management uses Consolidated AEBITDA and Consolidated AEBITDA margin to facilitate its external comparisons of the Company’s consolidated results to the historical operating performance of other companies that may have different capital structures and debt levels.

Following the closing of the Grover acquisition, Management introduced usage of certain of these non-GAAP financial measures on a “Combined” basis. Combined non-GAAP financial measures include results for both the Company and Grover on a combined basis, inclusive of periods prior to the closing of the acquisition. The Combined measures do not reflect any pro forma adjustments or other adjustments for costs related to integration activities, cost savings or other synergies that have been or may have been achieved if the business combination occurred as of the beginning of the applicable twelve-month period. We cannot assure you that such measures would not be materially different if such information were audited or that our actual results would not differ materially from the Combined measures if the acquisition had been completed as of the beginning of the applicable period.

Management uses Net debt, Net debt leverage ratio and Combined net debt leverage ratio in monitoring and evaluating the Company’s overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage.

Management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are useful as they provide Management and investors with information regarding the Company’s financial condition and operating performance that is an integral part of Management’s reporting and planning processes. In particular, Management believes Adjusted NPAT, Adjusted NPATA, Adjusted NPATA per share and Normalized EBITA are useful for investors because they provide investors with additional perspective on performance, as the measures eliminate the effects of, as applicable, amortization of acquired intangible assets, restructuring, transaction, integration, certain other items, and the income tax impact on such adjustments, which Management believes are less indicative of the ongoing underlying performance of operations and are better evaluated separately. These measures are widely used to measure performance of gaming and other companies listed on the ASX.

Management believes that Consolidated AEBITDA is helpful because this non-GAAP financial measure eliminates the effects of restructuring, transaction, integration or other items that Management believes are less indicative of the ongoing underlying performance of the Company’s operations (as more fully described below) and are better evaluated separately. Management believes that Free cash flow provides useful information regarding the Company’s liquidity and its ability to service debt and fund investments.

Management believes that the Combined measures are useful to investors because they provide additional information regarding the combined business of the Company and Grover across the periods being presented, allowing for more meaningful comparisons of overall liquidity, financial flexibility and leverage.

Management also believes that Free cash flow is useful for investors because it provides investors with important perspectives on the cash available for debt repayment and other strategic measures, after making necessary capital investments in property and equipment, necessary license payments to support the ongoing business operations and adjustments for changes in restricted cash impacting working capital.

Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted NPATA

Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted NPATA, as used herein, are non-GAAP financial measures that are presented as supplemental disclosures of the Company’s operations and are reconciled to net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Consolidated AEBITDA, Normalized EBITA, Adjusted NPATA and Adjusted NPAT, Supplemental Business Segment Data and Reconciliation to Consolidated AEBITDA Margin,” which includes reconciliations for several non-GAAP financial measures. Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted NPATA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Adjusted NPAT and Adjusted NPATA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Adjusted NPAT is reconciled to Net income and includes the following adjustments, as applicable: (1) Restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) Management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition- and disposition-related costs, strategic review and other unusual items; (2) Loss on debt financing transactions; (3) Change in fair value of investments and Gain on remeasurement of debt and other; (4) Income tax impact on adjustments; and (5) Other expense (income), net, including foreign currency gains or losses and earnings from equity investments. Adjusted NPATA is reconciled to Net income and includes the following incremental adjustments to those used to reconcile Adjusted NPAT: (1) Amortization of acquired intangible assets; (2) Non-cash asset and goodwill impairments; and (3) Income tax impact on adjustments. Adjusted NPATA guidance range for fiscal year 2025 denotes a non-GAAP financial measure. We are not providing a forward-looking quantitative reconciliation of Adjusted NPATA guidance range to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to do so without unreasonable efforts or to reasonably estimate the projected outcome of certain significant items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors out of our control and could have a material impact on the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Adjusted NPATA Per Share – Diluted (EPSa)

Adjusted NPATA per share (EPSa), as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure of the Company’s operations on diluted basis and is reconciled to diluted net income per share as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Net Income Per Share to Adjusted NPATA Per Share on Diluted Basis.” Adjusted NPATA per share should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Adjusted NPATA per share may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies. Adjusted NPATA per share is reconciled to diluted net income per share and includes the same adjustments with respect to Adjusted NPATA as described in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Consolidated AEBITDA, Normalized EBITA, Adjusted NPATA and Adjusted NPAT, Supplemental Business Segment Data and Reconciliation to Consolidated AEBITDA Margin” in per share amounts.

Normalized EBITA

Normalized EBITA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as supplemental disclosure of the Company’s operations and is reconciled to net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Consolidated AEBITDA, Normalized EBITA, Adjusted NPATA and Adjusted NPAT, Supplemental Business Segment Data and Reconciliation to Consolidated AEBITDA Margin,” which includes reconciliations for several non-GAAP financial measures. Normalized EBITA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Normalized EBITA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Normalized EBITA is reconciled to Net income and includes the following adjustments, as applicable: (1) Restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) Management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition- and disposition-related costs, strategic review and other unusual items; (2) Loss on debt financing transactions; (3) Change in fair value of investments and Gain on remeasurement of debt and other; (4) Other expense (income), net, including foreign currency gains or losses and earnings from equity investments; (5) Amortization of acquired intangible assets; (6) Non-cash asset and goodwill impairments; (7) Interest expense; and (8) Income tax expense and impact on adjustments.

Consolidated AEBITDA, as used herein, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is presented as a supplemental disclosure of the Company’s operations and is reconciled to net income as the most directly comparable GAAP measure, as set forth in the schedule titled “Reconciliation of Consolidated AEBITDA, Normalized EBITA, Adjusted NPATA and Adjusted NPAT, Supplemental Business Segment Data and Reconciliation to Consolidated AEBITDA Margin,” which includes reconciliations for several non-GAAP financial measures. Consolidated AEBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Consolidated AEBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies.

Consolidated AEBITDA is reconciled to Net income and includes the following adjustments, as applicable: (1) Restructuring and other, which includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) Management restructuring and related costs; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) cost savings initiatives; (v) major litigation; and (vi) acquisition- and disposition-related costs, strategic review and other unusual items; (2) Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges and Goodwill impairments; (3) Loss on debt financing transactions; (4) Change in fair value of investments and Gain on remeasurement of debt and other; (5) Interest expense; (6) Income tax expense and impact on adjustments; (7) Stock-based compensation; and (8) Other expense (income), net, including foreign currency gains or losses and earnings from equity investments. AEBITDA is presented exclusively as our segment measure of profit or loss. Consolidated AEBITDA guidance range for fiscal year 2025 denotes a non-GAAP financial measure. We are not providing a forward-looking quantitative reconciliation of Consolidated AEBITDA guidance range to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because we are unable to do so without unreasonable efforts or to reasonably estimate the projected outcome of certain significant items. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors out of our control and could have a material impact on the corresponding measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

Grover Adjusted EBITDA is not calculated consistently with Consolidated AEBITDA, and includes different adjustments based on the unaudited and preliminary financial statements provided by Grover’s management prior to the closing of the acquisition.

Grover Adjusted EBITDA is reconciled to Grover Charitable Gaming’s operating income, and includes the following adjustments, as applicable: (1) depreciation and amortization; (2) other income/expenses primarily related to non-operating gain and losses; and (3) elimination of certain non-recurring distribution costs expected to be eliminated in connection with the consummation of the acquisition and certain other immaterial adjustments.

Combined AEBITDA

Combined AEBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, as a substitute for, or superior to, the consolidated financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP and should be read in conjunction with the Company's financial statements filed with the SEC. Combined AEBITDA may differ from similarly titled measures presented by other companies and is presented only for purposes of calculating and reconciling Combined net debt leverage ratio.
