Financial Highlights:
Consolidated revenue of $1.05 billion, in line with the prior-year period, as strength in Gaming & Digital is offset by elevated prior year product sales in Global Lottery

• Global Lottery revenue of $613 million decreased 2% year-over-year, primarily due to a multi-year software license sale in the prior year
• Gaming & Digital revenue of $436 million, up 1% versus the prior year, driven by installed base growth with resilient yields and elevated intellectual property and software license sales, offset by lower terminal unit shipments

Operating income of $230 million, compared to $251 million in the prior-year period; excluding $26 million in Separation and divestiture costs, operating income rose to $256 million

• Global Lottery operating income of $212 million versus $229 million in the prior year, primarily due to a multi-year software license sale and resolution of a customer contract dispute in the prior-year period
• Gaming & Digital operating income of $103 million compared to $89 million in the prior-year period on high-margin intellectual property and software sales and easing of supply chain costs, partially offset by lower terminal sales; operating income margin expands 300 basis points to 23.7%
• Corporate support and other expense of $86 million versus $68 million driven by $26 million in Separation and divestiture costs

Adjusted EBITDA of $420 million compared to $443 million in the prior-year period; excluding Separation and divestiture costs, Adjusted EBITDA was stable at $446 million and Adjusted EBITDA margin expanded 30 basis points

Other non-operating expense, net, of $1 million versus other non-operating income, net, of $2 million in the prior year

Income tax provision of $71 million, compared to $86 million in the prior year, primarily driven by lower valuation allowances on deferred tax assets and lower pre-tax income
