Free cash flow for the year decreased 67% to $111 million primarily due to the company's investment to extend land-based licensing rights for Wheel of Fortune^® and Jeopardy!^® through 2024, as well as expand rights to include social gaming and online real-money wagering in the U.S.

Average revenue per unit per day in the fourth quarter was $48.39, down slightly over the prior year quarter, driven by lower international MJP yields, partially offset by higher North America MJP yields.

Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. These statements include our expected future financial and operational performance and our strategic and operational plans, as well as the expected timing of the closing of the proposed merger transactions with GTECH S.p.A. ("GTECH"). These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the results predicted, and reported results should not be considered an indication of future performance. Among the factors that could cause actual results and outcomes to differ materially from those contained in such forward-looking statements are the following: general economic conditions and changes in economic conditions affecting the gaming industry; new or changing laws or regulations or new interpretations of existing laws or regulations affecting our business; difficulties or delays in obtaining or maintaining necessary licenses or approvals; slow growth in the number of new gaming jurisdictions or new casinos or the rate of replacement of existing gaming machines; changes in operator or player preferences for our products; our ability to compete in the gaming industry with new or existing competitors; our ability to develop and introduce new products and their acceptance by our customers; risks related to our international operations; our ability to protect our intellectual property; adverse results of litigation, including intellectual property infringement claims; our ability to leverage cost reduction initiatives; risks related to business combinations, investments in intellectual property and the integration of acquisitions; and future developments or changes affecting online gaming or social casino-style gaming, which is a new and evolving industry.

Additional factors relating to the proposed merger transactions with GTECH include failure to obtain applicable regulatory or securityholder approvals in a timely manner or otherwise; the possibility that the proposed transactions will not close, including by any failure to satisfy closing conditions or a termination of the merger agreement; risks that the businesses of IGT and GTECH will not be integrated successfully or that the combined companies will not realize estimated cost savings, value of certain tax assets, synergies and growth or that such benefits may take longer to realize than expected; failure to realize anticipated benefits of the combined operations of IGT and GTECH; risks relating to unanticipated costs of integration; ability to hire and retain key personnel; and the potential impact of announcement or consummation of the proposed transactions on relationships with third parties, including customers, employees and competitors.

A further list and description of these and other risks, uncertainties and other matters can be found in our annual report and other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including under the captions "Risk Factors" and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2013 filed with the SEC on November 26, 2013 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2014 filed with the SEC on August 6, 2014 and available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov and on the investor relations section of our website at www.IGT.com/investors.

We believe that certain non-GAAP financial measures, when presented in conjunction with comparable GAAP (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) measures, are useful because that information is an appropriate measure for evaluating our operating performance. Non-GAAP information is used to evaluate business performance and management's effectiveness. These measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Non-GAAP financial measures may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies and therefore may not be comparable.
