Item 12. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
On April 28, 2004, Multimedia Games, Inc. (the "Registrant") issued a press
release announcing its 2004 second 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 April 28, 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.
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.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
