Gaming Partners International Corporation Reports Financial Results for the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 2014

LAS VEGAS, Aug. 12, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming Partners International Corporation GPIC, a leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment, announced financial results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2014.

During the second quarter ended June 30, 2014, the Company posted a net loss of $1.2 million, or ($0.15) per basic and diluted share, compared to a net loss of $0.1 million, or ($0.01) per basic and diluted share, for the second quarter of 2013. During the first six months of 2014, the Company posted a net loss of $2.3 million, or ($0.29) per basic and diluted share, compared to net income of $0.5 million, or $0.06 per basic and diluted share, for the year ended 2013. The decrease in net income for the second quarter and the first six months of 2014 was due to a decrease in sales of our currency products which caused fixed manufacturing costs to be allocated over a lower revenue base, offset by a reduction in selling, administrative and research and development expenses.

During the second quarter of 2014, the Company had revenues of $10.2 million, compared to revenues of $14.1 million in the second quarter of 2013. During the first six months of 2014, the Company had revenues of $20.8 million, compared to revenues of $28.9 million in the same period of prior year. The decrease in revenues was mainly due to a reduction in worldwide casino currency sales in 2014 compared to 2013, caused by the lack of openings/expansions in 2014.

"We do not anticipate that we will benefit from any casino openings in the remainder of 2014," commented Greg Gronau, GPIC President, Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and Secretary. "We have received a significant order to supply new chips and plaques for a casino expansion in Macau. The order includes nearly 900,000 chips and over 137,000 plaques from the Company's Bourgogne et Grasset® and Bud Jones® brands totaling just under $6.4 million of revenue which should be recognized in the remainder of 2014. In addition, the acquisition of the gaming assets of GemGroup will add the Gemaco® brand playing cards and table layouts to our domestic product portfolio and increase our US market share in both products. It also adds the manufacturing and sale of layouts to our Asia Pacific product offerings."
