Unless otherwise indicated, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to Everi Holdings together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

Everi is a provider of financial technology solutions that power casino floors, improve operational efficiencies, and fulfill regulatory requirements. The Company also develops and supplies player loyalty tools and mobile-first applications that enhance patron engagement for our customers and venues in the casino, sports, entertainment and hospitality industries.

Impact of COVID-19, Macro-Economic Volatility and Global Instability, Employment Constraints and Supply Chain Disruptions

We continue to monitor the remaining effects of COVID-19 and believe we are prepared to respond appropriately to the extent additional variants surface that disrupt our business.

We have experienced an impact from macro-economic volatility as a result of inflation, interest rate movements and global instability, particularly as it relates to our supply chain, both from an upstream and downstream perspective, which impacts the delivery of our products; and we continue to evaluate the effects of interest rate movements on our variable rate debt and pricing pressures on our business.

We have experienced an impact from employment constraints as a result of inflation that has significantly increased over prior years. This has placed pressure on competitive wages, which has led to increases in wages and other related costs.

We have experienced an impact from supply chain disruptions that have resulted in additional costs incurred to develop, produce, and ship our products.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are prepared under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Combinations
When we acquire a business, we recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill is measured and recognized as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Significant estimates and assumptions are required to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable. These estimates are preliminary and typically include the calculation of an appropriate discount rate and projection of the cash flows associated with each acquired asset over its estimated useful life. As a result, up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill (referred to as the measurement period). In addition, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and tax related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination are initially estimated as of the acquisition date. We reevaluate these items quarterly based upon facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and any adjustments to preliminary estimates are recorded to goodwill, in the period of identification, if identified within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the Statements of Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances on deposit in banks and financial institutions. We consider highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Such balances generally exceed the federal insurance limits; however, we periodically evaluate the creditworthiness of these institutions to minimize risk.
ATM Funding Agreements
We obtain all of the cash required to operate our ATMs through various ATM Funding Agreements. Some gaming operators provide the cash utilized within the ATM (“Site-Funded”). The Site-Funded receivables generated for cash dispensed from transactions performed at our ATMs are owned by us and we are liable to the gaming operator for the face amount of the cash dispensed. In our Balance Sheets, the amount of the receivable for transactions processed on these funds dispensed transactions is included within settlement receivables and the amount due to the gaming operator for the face amount of dispensing transactions is included within settlement liabilities.
For the non-Site-Funded locations, we enter into commercial arrangements with third party vendors to provide us the currency needed for normal operating requirements for our ATMs. For the use of these funds, we pay a cash usage fee based upon the target federal funds rate. Under these agreements, the currency supplied by the third-party vendors remains the sole property of these suppliers until funds are dispensed, at which time the third-party vendors obtain an interest in the corresponding settlement receivable. As the cash is an asset of these suppliers, it is therefore not reflected on our Balance Sheets. The usage fee for the cash supplied in these ATMs is included as interest expense in the Statements of Operations. Our rationale to record cash usage fees as interest expense is primarily due to the similar operational characteristics to a revolving line of credit, the fact that the fees are calculated on a financial index, and the fees are paid for access to a capital resource.
Settlement Receivables and Settlement Liabilities
We provide cash settlement services to gaming operators related to our financial access services, which involve the movement of funds between various parties involved in these types of transactions. We receive reimbursement from the patron’s credit or debit card issuing financial institution for the amount owed to the gaming operator plus the fee charged to the patron. These activities result in amounts due to us at the end of each business day that we generally recover over the next few business days, which are classified as settlement receivables on our Balance Sheets. In addition, cash settlement services result in amounts due to gaming operators for the cash disbursed to patrons through the issuance of a negotiable instrument or through electronic settlement for the face amount provided to patrons that we generally remit over the next few business days, which are classified as settlement liabilities on our Balance Sheets.
Warranty Receivables
If a gaming operator chooses to have a check warranted, it sends a request to our third-party check warranty service provider, asking whether it would be willing to accept the risk of cashing the check. If the check warranty provider accepts the risk and warrants the check, the gaming operator negotiates the patron’s check by providing cash for the face amount of the check. If the check is dishonored by the patron’s bank upon presentment, the gaming operator invokes the warranty, and the check warranty service provider purchases the check from the gaming operator for the full check amount and then pursues collection activities on its own. In our Central Credit Check Warranty product under our agreement with the third-party service provider, we receive all of the check warranty revenue. We are exposed to risk for losses associated with any warranted items that cannot be collected from patrons issuing the items.
The warranty receivables amount is recorded in trade and other receivables, net on our Balance Sheets. On a monthly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of the outstanding balances and establishes a reserve for the face amount of the expected losses on these receivables. The warranty expense associated with this reserve is included within cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) on our Statements of Operations.
Allowance for Credit Losses
We continually evaluate the collectability of outstanding balances and maintain an allowance for credit losses related to our trade and other receivables and notes receivable that have been determined to have a high risk of uncollectability, which represents our best estimates of the current expected credit losses to be incurred in the future. To derive our estimates, we analyze historical collection trends and changes in our customer payment patterns, current and expected conditions and market trends along with our operating forecasts, concentration, and creditworthiness when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses. In addition, with respect to our check warranty receivables, we are exposed to risk for the losses associated with warranted items that cannot be collected from patrons issuing these items. We evaluate the collectability of the outstanding balances and establish a reserve for the face amount of the current expected credit losses related to these receivables. Account balances are charged against the provision when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The provision for doubtful accounts receivable is included within operating expenses and the check warranty loss reserves are included within financial access services cost of revenues in the Statements of Operations.
Inventory
Our inventory primarily consists of component parts as well as finished goods and work-in-progress. The cost of inventory includes cost of materials, labor, overhead and freight. The inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and accounted for using the first in, first out method (“FIFO”).
Restricted Cash
Our restricted cash primarily consists of: (i) funds held in connection with certain customer agreements; (ii) funds held in connection with a sponsorship agreement; (iii) wide-area progressive (“WAP”)-related restricted funds; and (iv) financial access activities related to cashless balances held on behalf of patrons. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively (in thousands).

Restricted cash — non-currentOther assets101 101 101 
Total$295,063 $303,726 $252,349 
Property and Equipment
Property and equipment, which includes assets leased to customers, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and are computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or estimated life of the related assets, generally one to five years. Player terminals and related components and equipment are included in our rental pool. The rental pool can be further delineated as “rental pool – deployed,” which consists of assets deployed at customer sites under participation or fixed fee arrangements, and “rental pool – undeployed,” which consists of assets held by us that are available for customer use. Rental pool – undeployed also consists of previously deployed units currently back with us to be refurbished awaiting re-
deployment. Routine maintenance of property, equipment and leased gaming equipment is expensed in the period incurred, while major component upgrades are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the component. Sales and retirements of depreciable property are recorded by removing the related cost and accumulated depreciation from the accounts. Gains or losses on sales and retirements of property are reflected in our Statements of Operations. Property, equipment and leased assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated when future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, do not exceed the carrying value of the asset.
Placement Fee and Development Agreements
We enter into placement fee and, to a certain extent, development agreements to provide financing for the expansion of existing facilities, or for new gaming facilities. Funds provided under placement fee agreements are not reimbursed, while funds provided under development agreements are reimbursed to us, in whole, or in part. In return, the customer facility dedicates a percentage of its floor space to placement of our player terminals, and we receive a fixed percentage of those player terminals’ hold amounts per day over the term of the agreement, which is generally from 12 to 83 months. Certain of the agreements contain player terminal performance standards that could allow the facility to reduce a portion of our guaranteed floor space. In addition, certain development agreements allow the facilities to buy out floor space after advances that are subject to repayment have been repaid. The agreements typically provide for a portion of the amounts retained by the gaming facility for their share of the operating profits of the facility to be used to repay some or all of the advances recorded as notes receivable.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired plus liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. We test for impairment annually on a reporting unit basis, at the beginning of our fourth fiscal quarter and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The annual impairment test is completed using either: a qualitative “Step 0” assessment based on reviewing relevant events and circumstances; or a quantitative “Step 1” assessment, which determines the fair value of the reporting unit, using both an income approach that discounts future cash flows based on the estimated future results of our reporting units and a market approach that compares market multiples of comparable companies to determine whether or not any impairment exists. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit is less than its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
The evaluation of impairment of goodwill requires the use of estimates about future operating results. Changes in forecasted operations can materially affect these estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. The estimates of expected future cash flows require significant judgment and are based on assumptions we determined to be reasonable; however, they are unpredictable and inherently uncertain, including, estimates of future growth rates, operating margins, and assumptions about the overall economic climate as well as the competitive environment within which we operate. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our impairment assessments as of the time of evaluation will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans, competitive environments or anticipated growth rates are not correct, we may be required to record non-cash impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our normal review procedures periodically, or earlier, if an indicator of an impairment is present prior to such evaluation.
Our reporting units are identified as operating segments or one level below. Reporting units must: (i) engage in business activities from which they earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) have operating results that are regularly reviewed by our segment management to ascertain the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) have discrete financial information available. As of December 31, 2022, our reporting units included: (i) Games; (ii) Financial Access Services; (iii) Kiosk Sales and Services; (iv) Central Credit Services; (v) Compliance Sales and Services; (vi) Loyalty Sales and Services, and (vii) Mobile Technologies.
Other Intangible Assets
Other intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are computed primarily using the straight-line method. Other intangible assets consist primarily of: (i) customer relationships (rights to provide Games and FinTech services to gaming operator customers), developed technology, trade names and trademarks, acquired through business combinations and contract rights; and (ii) capitalized software development costs. Customer relationships require us to make renewal assumptions, which impact the estimated useful lives of such assets. Capitalized software development costs require us to make certain judgments as to the stages of development and costs eligible for capitalization. Capitalized software costs placed in service are amortized over their useful lives, generally not to exceed six years. We review intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the fair value of the underlying business or market price of the asset, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses. We group intangible assets for impairment analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of definite lived intangible assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, on an undiscounted basis and without interest or taxes. Any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with long-term borrowings are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based upon the related debt agreements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements are included in other assets, non-current, on our Balance Sheets. All other debt issuance costs are included as contra-liabilities in long-term debt.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASC 842 — Leases, as appropriate. We recognize revenue upon transferring control of goods or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We enter into contracts with customers that include various performance obligations consisting of goods, services, or combinations of goods and services. Timing of the transfer of control varies based on the nature of the contract. We recognize revenue net of any sales and other taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are not included in revenues or operating expenses. We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and adjusted, as necessary.
Collectability
To assess collectability, we determine whether it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. In connection with these procedures, we evaluate the customer using internal and external information available, including, but not limited to, research and analysis of our credit history with the customer. Based on the nature of our transactions and historical trends, we determine whether our customers have the ability and intention to pay the amounts of consideration when they become due to identify potentially significant credit risk exposure.
Contract Combinations - Multiple Promised Goods and Services
Our contracts may include various performance obligations for promises to transfer multiple goods and services to a customer, especially since our Games and FinTech businesses may enter into multiple agreements with the same customer that meet the criteria to be combined for accounting purposes under ASC 606. When this occurs, a Stand-Alone Selling Price (“SSP”) will be determined for each performance obligation in the combined arrangement, and the consideration will be allocated between the respective performance obligations. The SSP of our goods and services is generally determined based on observable prices, an adjusted market assessment approach, or an expected cost-plus margin approach. We utilize a residual approach only when the SSP for performance obligations with observable prices has been established and the remaining performance obligation in the contract with a customer does not have an observable price as it is uncertain or highly variable and, therefore, is not discernible. We use our judgment to analyze the nature of the promises made and determine whether each is distinct or should be combined with other promises in the contract based on the level of integration and interdependency between the individual deliverables.
Disaggregation of Revenues
We disaggregate revenues based on the nature and timing of the cash flows generated by such revenues as presented in “Note 18 Segment Information.”
Outbound Freight Costs, Installation and Training
Upon transferring control of goods to a customer, the shipping and handling costs in connection with sale transactions are generally accounted for as fulfillment costs and included in cost of revenues.
Our performance of installation and training services relating to the sales of gaming equipment and systems and FinTech equipment does not modify the software or hardware in those equipment and systems. Such installation and training services are generally immaterial in the context of the contract; and therefore, such items do not represent a separate performance obligation.
Costs to Acquire a Contract with a Customer
We typically incur incremental costs to acquire customer contracts in the form of sales commissions; however, because the expected benefit from these contracts is one year or less, we expense these amounts as incurred.
Contract Balances
Since our contracts may include multiple performance obligations, there is often a timing difference between cash collections and the satisfaction of such performance obligations and revenue recognition. Such arrangements are evaluated to determine whether contract assets and liabilities exist. We generally record contract assets when the timing of billing differs from when revenue is recognized due to contracts containing specific performance obligations that are required to be met prior to a customer being invoiced. We generally record contract liabilities when cash is collected in advance of us satisfying performance obligations, including those that are satisfied over a period of time. Balances of our contract assets and contract liabilities may fluctuate due to timing of cash collections.
The following table summarizes our contract assets and contract liabilities arising from contracts with customers (in thousands):

We recognized approximately $27.5 million and $21.3 million in revenue that was included in the beginning contract liability balance during 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Games Revenues
Our products and services include electronic gaming devices, such as Native American Class II offerings and other electronic bingo products, Class III slot machine offerings, HHR offerings, VLTs installed in the State of New York and similar technology in certain tribal jurisdictions, B2B digital online gaming activities, accounting and central determinant systems, and other back-office systems. We conduct our Games segment business based on results generated from the following major revenue streams: (i) Gaming Operations; and ii) Gaming Equipment and Systems.
Gaming Operations
We primarily provide: (i) leased gaming equipment, both Class II and Class III offerings, and HHR on a participation or a daily fixed-fee basis, including standard games and hardware and premium games and hardware, inclusive of local-area progressive, and WAP; (ii) accounting and central determinant systems; and (iii) digital online gaming activities. We evaluate the recognition of lease revenues based on criteria set forth in ASC 842. Under these arrangements, we retain ownership of the machines installed at customer facilities. We recognize recurring rental income over time based on a percentage of the net win per day generated by the leased gaming equipment or a daily fixed fee based on the timing services are provided. Such revenues are generated daily and are limited to the lesser of the net win per day generated by the leased gaming equipment or the fixed daily fee and the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. Gaming operations revenues generated by leased gaming equipment deployed at sites under placement fee agreements give rise to contract rights, which are amounts recorded to intangible assets for dedicated floor space resulting from such agreements. The gaming operations revenues generated by these arrangements are reduced by the accretion of contract rights, which represents the related amortization of the contract rights recorded in connection with such agreements. Gaming operations lease revenues accounted for under ASC 842 are generally short-term in nature with payment terms ranging from 30 to 90 days. We recognized $197.9 million, $189.8 million, and $116.1 million in lease revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Gaming operations revenues include amounts generated by WAP systems, which are recognized under ASC 606. WAP consists of linked slot machines located in multiple casino properties that are connected to a central system. WAP-based gaming machines have a progressive jackpot administered by us that increases with every wager until a player wins the top award combination. Casino operators pay us a percentage of the coin-in (the total amount wagered), a percentage of net win, or a combination of both for services related to the design, assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, administration, and marketing of the WAP offering. The gaming operations revenues with respect to WAP machines represent a separate performance obligation and we transfer control and recognize revenue over time based on a percentage of the coin-in, a percentage of net win, or a combination of both, based on the timing services are provided. These arrangements are generally short-term in nature with a majority of invoices payable within 30 to 90 days. Such revenues are presented in the Statements of Operations, net of the jackpot expense, which are composed of incremental amounts funded by a portion of coin-in from the players. At the time a jackpot is won by a player, an additional jackpot expense is recorded in connection with the base seed amount required to fund the minimum level as set forth in the WAP arrangements with the casino operators.
In addition, gaming operations include revenues generated under our arrangement to provide the New York State Gaming Commission (the “NYSGC”) with a central determinant monitoring and accounting system for the VLTs in operation at licensed State of New York gaming facilities. Pursuant to our agreement with the NYSGC, we receive a portion of the network-wide net win (generally, cash-in less prizes paid) per day in exchange for provision and maintenance of the central determinant system and recognize revenue over time, based on the timing services are provided. We also provide the central determinant system technology to Native American tribes in other licensed jurisdictions, for which we receive a portion of the revenue generated from the VLTs connected to the system. These arrangements are generally short-term in nature with payments due monthly.
Gaming operations also include revenues generated by our digital solutions comprised of B2B activities. Our B2B operations provide games to our business customers, including both regulated real money and social casinos, which offer the games to consumers on their apps. Our B2B arrangements primarily provide access to our game content, and revenue is recognized over time as the control transfers upon our business partners’ daily access to such content based on either a flat fee or revenue share arrangements with the social and regulated real money casinos, based on the timing services are provided.
Gaming operations also include other revenues that are generated from fees paid by casino customers that participate in our TournEvent of Champions® national slot tournament or who contract with us to provide certain service functions on games that are owned by the customer.
Gaming Equipment and Systems
Gaming equipment and systems revenues are derived from the sale of some combination of: (i) gaming equipment and player terminals; (ii) game content; (iii) license fees; and (iv) ancillary equipment, such as signage and lighting packages. Such arrangements are predominately short-term in nature with payment terms ranging from 30 to 180 days, and with certain agreements providing for extended payment terms up to 39 months. Each contract containing extended payment terms over a period of 12 months is evaluated for the presence of a financing component; however, our contracts generally do not contain a financing component that has been determined to be significant to the contract. Distinct and thus, separately identifiable performance obligations for gaming equipment and systems arrangements include gaming equipment, player terminals, content, system software, license fees, ancillary equipment, or various combinations thereof. Gaming equipment and systems revenues are recognized at a point in time when control of the promised goods and services transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment or delivery pursuant to the terms of the contract. The performance obligations are generally satisfied at the same time or within a short period of time.
FinTech Revenues
Financial Access Services
Financial Access Services revenues are generally comprised of the following distinct performance obligations: funds advanced, funds dispensed, and check services. We do not control the funds advanced and funds dispensed services provided to a customer and, therefore, we are acting as an agent whose performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of these services. Our financial access services involve the movement of funds between the various parties associated with financial access transactions and give rise to settlement receivables and settlement liabilities, both of which are settled in days following the transaction.
Funds advance revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees assessed to gaming patrons in connection with credit card financial access and POS debit card financial access transactions. Such fees are primarily based on a combination of a fixed amount plus a percentage of the face amount of the credit card financial access or POS debit card financial access transaction amount. In connection with these types of transactions, we report certain direct costs incurred as reductions to revenues on a net basis, which generally include: (i) commission expenses payable to casino operators; (ii) interchange fees payable to the network associations; and (iii) processing and related costs payable to other third-party partners.
Funds dispensed revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees in the form of cardholder surcharges assessed to gaming patrons in connection with funds dispensed cash withdrawals at the time the transactions are authorized and interchange reimbursement fees paid to us by the patrons’ issuing banks. The cardholder surcharges assessed to gaming patrons in connection with funds dispensed cash withdrawals are currently a fixed dollar amount and not a percentage of the transaction amount. In connection with these types of transactions, we report certain direct costs incurred as reductions to revenues on a net basis, which generally include: (i) commission expenses payable to casino operators; (ii) interchange fees payable to the network associations; and (iii) processing and related costs payable to other third-party partners.
Funds transmitted revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees assessed to gaming patrons in connection with funds transmitted to a patron’s external bank account or other approved account from a physical device such as our kiosks, or via the CashClub Wallet. In connection with these types of transactions, we report certain direct costs incurred as reductions to revenues on a net basis.
Check services revenues are principally comprised of check warranty revenues and are generally based upon a percentage of the face amount of checks warranted. These fees are paid to us by gaming operators. We report certain direct costs incurred as reductions to revenues on a net basis, which include: (i) warranty expenses, defined as amounts paid by the third-party check warranty service provider to gaming operators to purchase dishonored checks; and (ii) service fees, defined as amounts paid to the third-party check warranty service provider for its assistance.
For financial access services arrangements, since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the performance obligations occur, we recognize revenues as earned over a period of time using an output method depicting the transfer of control to the customer based on variable consideration, such as volume of transactions processed with variability generally resolved in the reporting period.
Software and Other
Software and other revenues include amounts derived from our financial access, loyalty kiosk, compliance, and loyalty related revenue streams from the sale of: (i) software licenses, software subscriptions, professional services, and certain other ancillary fees; (ii) service-related fees associated with the sale, installation, training, and maintenance of equipment directly to our customers under contracts, which are generally short-term in nature with payment terms ranging from 30 to 90 days, secured by the related equipment; (iii) credit worthiness-related software subscription services that are based upon either a flat monthly unlimited usage fee or a variable fee structure driven by the volume of patron credit histories generated; and (iv) ancillary marketing and database services. Software license revenues are recognized at a point in time; software subscriptions are recognized over the term of the contract.
Hardware
Hardware revenues are derived from the sale of our financial access and loyalty kiosks and related equipment and are accounted for under ASC 606, unless such transactions meet definition of a sales type or direct financing lease which are accounted for under ASC 842. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when control of the promised goods and services transfers to the customer generally upon shipment or delivery pursuant to the terms of the contract. The sales contracts are generally short-term in nature with payment terms ranging from 30 to 90 days, while certain agreements provide for extended payment terms of up to 60 months. Each contract containing extended payment terms over a period of 12 months
is evaluated for the presence of a financing component; however, our contracts generally do not contain a financing component that has been determined to be significant to the contract.
Cost of Revenues (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)
The cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) represents the direct costs required to perform revenue generating transactions. The costs included within cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) are comprised primarily of inventory and related costs associated with the sale of our financial access and loyalty kiosks and software, electronic gaming machines and system sale, check cashing warranties, field service, and network operations personnel.
Advertising, Marketing, and Promotional Costs
We expense advertising, marketing, and promotional costs as incurred. Total advertising, marketing, and promotional costs, included in operating expenses in the Statements of Operations, were $3.5 million, $2.6 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Research and Development Costs
We conduct research and development activities for both our Games and FinTech segments. Our Gaming research and development activities are primarily to develop gaming systems, game engines, casino data management systems, central determination and other electronic bingo-outcome determination systems, video lottery outcome determination systems, gaming platforms and gaming content, and to enhance our existing product lines. Our FinTech research and development activities are primarily to develop: (i) payments products, systems, and related capabilities such as security, encryption and business rule engines that deliver differentiated patron experiences and integrate with our other products; (ii) compliance products that increase efficiencies, profitability, enhance employee/patron relationships, and meet regulatory reporting requirements; (iii) loyalty products, systems, and features that attract, engage, and retain patrons in more intuitive and contextual ways than our competition; (iv) cashless alternatives, such as the CashClub Wallet; and (v) mobile-first applications aimed at enhancing patron engagement for customers in the casino, sports, entertainment, and hospitality industries.
Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits, consulting fees, certification and testing fees. Once the technological feasibility has been established, the project is capitalized until it becomes available for general release.
Research and development costs were $60.5 million, $39.1 million, and $27.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the United States as well as various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities generally is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. We evaluate the realization of our deferred tax assets based on all available evidence and establish a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. This assessment considers all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results, forecasts of future earnings, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning strategies.

We recognize tax benefits from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the issue. The amount recognized is the largest benefit that we believe has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

Although we believe our assumptions, judgments and estimates are reasonable, changes in tax laws, and their interpretation, as well as the examination of our tax returns by taxing authorities, could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements. Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of factors including the actual results of operations, changes in our stock price for shares issued as employee compensation, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities and changes in tax laws or rates for income taxes and other non-income taxes in various jurisdictions.
Employee Benefits Plan
The Company provides a 401(k) Plan that allows employees to defer up to the lesser of the Internal Revenue Code prescribed maximum amount or 75% of their income on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the plan. As a benefit to employees, the Company matches a percentage of these employee contributions (as defined in the plan document). Expenses related to the matching portion of the contributions to the 401(k) Plan were $4.6 million, $2.6 million, and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Fair Values of Financial Instruments
The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.
The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, settlement receivables, short-term trade and other receivables, settlement liabilities, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term trade and loans receivable is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. The fair value of long-term accounts payable is estimated by discounting the total obligation. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of trade and loan receivable approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms generally being slightly over 12 months. The fair value of our borrowings is estimated based on various inputs to determine a market price, such as: market demand and supply, size of tranche, maturity, and similar instruments trading in more active markets.
The estimated fair value and outstanding balances of our borrowings are as follows (dollars in thousands):
 Level of HierarchyFair ValueOutstanding Balance
December 31, 2022   
$600 million New Term Loan
2$588,560 $592,500

$400 million 2021 Unsecured Notes
2$404,000 $400,000 
The fair values of our borrowings were determined using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices for these securities.
Foreign Currency Translation
Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities for those foreign entities for which the local currency is the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates prevailing at the end of each year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The effects of foreign exchange gains and losses arising from these translations are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Translation adjustments on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in our Balance Sheets.
Use of Estimates
We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in these financial statements and the accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP. The actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
Earnings Applicable to Common Stock
Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the effect of potential common stock resulting from assumed stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock unless it is anti-dilutive. To the extent we report a net loss from continuing operations in a particular period, no potential dilution from the application of the treasury stock method would be applicable.
Stock-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation results in a cost that is measured at fair value on the grant date of an award. Generally, we issue grants that are classified as equity awards. To the extent we issue grants that are considered liability awards, they are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement with changes being recognized as stock-based compensation cost with a corresponding adjustment recorded to the liability, either immediately or during the remaining service period depending on the vested status of the award. Generally, with respect to stock option awards granted under our plans, they expire 10 years from the date of grant with the exercise price based on the closing market price of our common stock on the date of the grant.
Our restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance-based stock units, are measured at fair value based on the closing stock price on the grant date. Our time-based stock option awards are measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black Scholes model. The stock-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards.
Forfeiture amounts are estimated at the grant date for stock awards and are updated periodically based on actual results, to the extent they differ from the estimates.
Acquisition-Related Costs
We recognize a liability for acquisition-related costs when the expense is incurred. Acquisition-related costs include, but are not limited to: financial advisory, legal and debt fees; accounting, consulting and professional fees associated with due diligence, valuation and integration; severance; and other related costs and adjustments.
Reclassification of Balances
Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes have been reclassified to be consistent with the current year presentation. These reclassifications had no effect on net income for the prior periods.

Leases [Abstract]  
Leases LEASES
We determine if a contract is, or contains, a lease at the inception, or modification, of a contract based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of an asset is predicated upon the notion that a lessee has both the right to (i) obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the asset; and (ii) direct the use of the asset.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Our lease arrangements have both lease and non-lease components, and we have elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease elements as a single lease.
Certain of our lease arrangements contain options to renew with terms that generally have the ability to extend the lease term to a range of approximately one to ten years. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at our sole discretion. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such option. The depreciable life of leased assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected term of such assets, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised.
Lessee
We enter into operating lease agreements for real estate purposes that generally consist of buildings for office space and warehouses for manufacturing purposes. Certain of our lease agreements consist of rental payments that are periodically adjusted for inflation. Our lease agreements do not contain material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. Our lease agreements do not generally provide explicit rates of interest; therefore, we use our incremental collateralized borrowing rate, which is based on a fully collateralized and fully amortizing loan with a maturity date the same as the length of the lease that is based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of lease payments. Leases with an initial expected term of 12 months or less (short-term) are not accounted for on our Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, our finance leases were not material.

We generate lease revenues primarily from our gaming operations activities, and the majority of our leases are month-to-month leases. Under these arrangements, we retain ownership of the electronic gaming machines (“EGMs”) installed at customer facilities. We receive recurring revenues based on a percentage of the net win per day generated by the leased gaming equipment or a fixed daily fee. Such revenues are generated daily and are limited to the lesser of the net win per day generated by the leased gaming equipment or the fixed daily fee and the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. Certain of our leases have terms and conditions with options for a lessee to purchase the underlying assets. Refer to “Note 2 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” for further discussion of lease revenues. The cost of EGMs the Company is leasing to third-parties as of December 31, 2022 is approximately $279.5 million.

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
We account for business combinations in accordance with ASC 805 Business Combinations, which requires that the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date separately from goodwill, which is the excess of the fair value of the purchase price over the fair values of these identifiable assets and liabilities. We include the results of operations of an acquired business starting from the acquisition date.
eCash Holdings Pty Limited
On March 1, 2022 (the “eCash Closing Date”), the Company acquired the stock of eCash Holdings Pty Limited and wholly-owned subsidiaries Global Payment Technologies Australia Pty Limited, and ACN 121 187 068 Pty Limited (collectively “eCash”), a privately owned, Australia-based developer and provider of innovative cash handling and financial payment solutions for the broader gaming industry in Australia, Asia, Europe, and the United States. The acquisition of eCash’s products and services represents a strategic extension of Everi’s current suite of financial technology solutions within the FinTech segment. The acquisition provides Everi with a complementary portfolio of new customer locations throughout Australia, the United States, and other geographies.
Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, we paid the seller AUD$20 million (approximately USD$15 million) on the eCash Closing Date of the transaction and we will pay an additional AUD$6.5 million one year following the eCash Closing Date and another AUD$6.5 million two years following the eCash Closing Date. In addition, we paid approximately AUD$8.7 million (approximately USD$6.0 million) for the excess net working capital during the year ended December 31, 2022. As of December 31, 2022 we expect to receive a refund of approximately AUD$1.0 million pursuant to the right of offset terms in the stock purchase agreement.
Pursuant to the arrangement, there is an earn-out provision of up to AUD$10 million, to the extent certain growth targets are achieved in future periods. The payment, if any, is subject to certain employment restrictions and will be accounted for as compensation expense.
The acquisition did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition for the year ended December 31, 2022.
The total preliminary purchase consideration for eCash was as follows (in thousands, at fair value):
Amount in USD
Purchase consideration
Cash consideration paid at closing$14,980 
Cash consideration to be paid post-closing14,916 
Total purchase consideration$29,896 
Cash consideration to be paid is comprised of a short-term component that is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a long-term component payable within two years recorded in other accrued expenses and liabilities in our Balance Sheets.
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill, which will be amortized over a period of 15 years for tax purposes. The goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the income potential from the expansion of our footprint in the gaming space by enhancing our financial technology solution portfolio to add new markets and business lines and an assembled workforce, among other strategic benefits.
The estimates and assumptions used include the projected timing and amount of future cash flows and discount rates reflecting risk inherent in the future cash flows. The estimated fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill are subject to adjustment as the Company finalizes its purchase price accounting. The significant items for which a final fair value has not been determined include, but are not limited to deferred income taxes. We do not expect our fair value determinations to materially change; however, there may be differences between the amounts recorded at the eCash Closing Date and the final fair value analysis, which we expect to complete no later than the first quarter of 2023.

Current assets acquired included approximately $2.8 million in cash. Trade receivables acquired of approximately $5.7 million were short-term in nature and considered to be collectible, and therefore, the carrying amounts of these assets represented their fair values. Inventory acquired of approximately $3.3 million consisted of raw materials and finished goods and was recorded at fair value based on the estimated net realizable value of these assets. Property, equipment, and leased assets acquired were not material in size or scope, and the carrying amounts of these assets approximated their fair values.

The fair value of customer relationships of approximately $7.3 million was determined by applying the income approach utilizing the excess earnings methodology based on Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy including a discount rate of 17% and estimated attrition rates. The fair value of developed technology of approximately $3.6 million was determined by applying the income approach utilizing the relief from royalty methodology based on Level 3 inputs with a royalty rate of 7.5% and a discount rate of 17%. The fair value of trade name of approximately $0.7 million was determined by applying the income approach utilizing the relief from royalty methodology based on Level 3 inputs with a royalty rate of 2% and a discount rate of 17%.
The financial results included in our Statements of Operations since the acquisition date and through December 31, 2022 reflected revenues of approximately $14.9 million and net income of approximately $1.2 million. We incurred acquisition-related costs of approximately $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Intuicode Gaming Corporation
On April 30, 2022 (the “Intuicode Closing Date”), the Company acquired the stock of Intuicode Gaming Corporation (“Intuicode”), a privately owned game development and engineering firm focused on HHR games. The acquisition of Intuicode provides Everi with additional HHR expertise that will help the Company accelerate its growth in the expanding HHR market that will benefit the Games segment.
Under the terms of the stock purchase agreement, we paid the seller $12.5 million on the Intuicode Closing Date of the transaction and a net working capital payment of $1.6 million during the year ended December 31, 2022. In addition, we expect to pay approximately $13.0 million in contingent consideration based upon the achievement of certain revenue targets
on the first and second anniversaries of the Intuicode Closing Date. As of December 31, 2022 we expect to receive a refund of approximately $0.1 million pursuant to the right of offset terms in the stock purchase agreement.

The fair value of the contingent consideration was based on Level 3 inputs utilizing a discounted cash flow methodology. The estimates and assumptions included projected future revenues of the acquired business and a discount rate of approximately 5%. Contingent consideration to be paid is comprised of a short-term component that is recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses and a long-term component payable within two years recorded in other accrued expenses and liabilities in our Balance Sheets. The change in fair value of the contingent consideration between the acquisition date and year ended December 31, 2022 was not material.
The transaction was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting, which requires, among other things, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess of the purchase price over those fair values was recorded as goodwill, which will be amortized over a period of 15 years for tax purposes.

The acquisition of Venuetize’s products and services represents a strategic extension within and beyond casino gaming of Everi’s current suite of solutions within the FinTech segment. The acquisition will help to elevate the capabilities of mobile and wallet offerings, and provide Everi with complementary assets and an established customer base expected to enable further growth into additional entertainment, sports and hospitality venues, and also to create new crossover marketing opportunities within the Company’s existing footprint.
Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we paid the seller $18.2 million on the Venuetize Closing Date of the transaction. In addition, we expect to pay approximately $2.8 million in contingent consideration based upon the achievement of certain revenue targets on the twelve-month, twenty-four month and thirty-month anniversaries of the Venuetize Closing Date.

A T M Funding Agreement Disclosure [Abstract]  
FUNDING AGREEMENTS FUNDING AGREEMENTS
Commercial Cash Arrangements
We have commercial arrangements with third-party vendors to provide cash for certain of our fund dispensing devices. For the use of these funds, we pay a usage fee on either the average daily balance of funds utilized multiplied by a contractually defined usage rate or the amounts supplied multiplied by a contractually defined usage rate. These fund usage fees, reflected as interest expense within the Statements of Operations, were approximately $9.3 million, $4.0 million, and $3.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. We are exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the applicable rates increase.
Under these agreements, the currency supplied by third party vendors remain their sole property until the funds are dispensed. As these funds are not our assets, supplied cash is not reflected in our Balance Sheets. The outstanding balance of funds provided from the third parties were approximately $444.6 million and $401.8 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Our primary commercial arrangement, the Contract Cash Solutions Agreement, as amended, is with Wells Fargo, N.A. (“Wells Fargo”). Wells Fargo provides us with cash up to $300 million with the ability to increase the amount permitted by the vault cash provider. The term of the agreement expires on June 30, 2024 and will automatically renew for additional one-year periods unless either party provides a ninety-day written notice of its intent not to renew.
We are responsible for losses of cash in the fund dispensing devices under this agreement, and we self-insure for this type of risk. There were no material losses for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020.
Site-Funded ATMs
We operate ATMs at certain gaming operators’ establishments where the gaming operator provides the cash required for the ATMs’ operational needs. We are required to reimburse the customer for the amount of cash dispensed from these site-funded ATMs. The site-funded ATM liability included within settlement liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheets was approximately $337.6 million and $194.3 million as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Third-Party Funded ATMs
We enter into agreements with international customers for certain of our ATMs whereby we engage with third-parties to provide the cash required to operate the ATMs. The amount of cash supplied by these third-parties is included within settlement liabilities in the accompanying Balance Sheets. The outstanding balances in connection with these arrangements were immaterial at December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Pre-Funded Financial Access Agreements
Due to regulatory requirements in certain jurisdictions, some international gaming operators require pre-funding of cash to cover the outstanding settlement amounts in order for us to provide financial access services to their properties. We enter into agreements with these gaming operators for which we supply our financial access services to their properties. Under these agreements, we maintain sole discretion to either continue or cease operations as well as discretion over the amounts pre-funded to the properties and may request amounts to be refunded to us, with appropriate notice to the operator, at any time. The initial pre-funded amounts and subsequent amounts from the settlement of transactions are deposited into a bank account that is to be used exclusively for financial access services, and we maintain the right to monitor the transaction activity in that account. The total amount of pre-funded cash outstanding was approximately $3.0 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and is included in prepaid expenses and other current assets line on our Balance Sheets.

GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired plus liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. The balance of goodwill was approximately $715.9 million and $682.7 million at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We have the following reporting units: (i) Games; (ii) Financial Access Services; (iii) Kiosk Sales and Services; (iv) Central Credit Services; (v) Compliance Sales and Services; (vi) Loyalty Sales and Services; and (vii) Mobile Technologies.
In accordance with ASC 350 (“Intangibles—Goodwill and Other”), we test goodwill at the reporting unit level, which is identified as an operating segment or one level below, for impairment on an annual basis and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount.

We test our goodwill for impairment on October 1 each year, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The annual impairment test is completed using either: a qualitative “Step 0” assessment based on reviewing relevant events and circumstances or a quantitative “Step 1” assessment, which determines the fair value of the reporting unit, using both an income approach that discounts future cash flows based on the estimated future results of our reporting units and a market approach that compares market multiples of comparable companies to determine whether or not any impairment exists. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit is less than its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.

In connection with our annual goodwill impairment testing process for 2022 and 2021, we determined that no impairment adjustments were necessary for each of our reporting units.

Placement fees and amounts advanced in excess of those to be reimbursed by the customer for real property and land improvements are allocated to intangible assets and are generally amortized over the term of the contract, which is recorded as a reduction of revenue generated from the facility. In the past we have, and in the future, we may, by mutual agreement, amend the agreements to reduce our floor space at these facilities. Any proceeds received for the reduction of floor space are first applied against the intangible asset for that particular placement fee agreement, if any, and the remaining net book value of the intangible asset is prospectively amortized on a straight-line method over its remaining estimated useful life.
We paid approximately $0.5 million, $31.5 million, and $3.1 million in placement fees for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. In September 2021, we entered into a placement fee agreement with a customer for certain of its locations for approximately $28.9 million, which we settled in October 2021.

New Credit Facilities
Our Senior Secured Credit Facilities consist of: (i) a seven-year $600 million senior secured term loan due 2028 issued at 99.75% of par (the “New Term Loan); and (ii) a $125 million senior secured revolving credit facility due 2026, which was undrawn at closing (the “New Revolver” and together with the New Term Loan, the “New Credit Facilities”). The Company, as borrower, entered into the credit agreement dated as of August 3, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), among the Company, the lenders party thereto and Jefferies Finance LLC, as administrative agent, collateral agent, swing line lender and a letter of credit issuer (the “New Credit Agreement”).
The interest rate per annum applicable to the New Credit Facilities will be, at the Company’s option, either the Eurodollar rate with a 0.50% LIBOR floor plus a margin of 2.50% or the base rate plus a margin of 1.50%.
The New Revolver is available for general corporate purposes, including permitted acquisitions, working capital and the issuance of letters of credit. Borrowings under the New Revolver are subject to the satisfaction of customary conditions, including the absence of defaults and the accuracy of representations and warranties. Our New Revolver remained fully undrawn as of December 31, 2022.
The Company is required to make periodic payments on the New Term Loan in an amount equal to 0.25% per quarter of the initial aggregate principal, with the final principal repayment installment on the maturity date. Interest is due in arrears on each interest payment date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified in the New Credit Agreement. As to any loan other than a base rate loan, the interest payment dates shall be the last day of each interest period applicable to such loan and the maturity date (provided, however, that if any interest period for a Eurodollar Rate loan exceeds three months, the respective dates that fall every three months after the beginning of such interest period shall also be interest payment dates). As to any base rate loan, commencing on the last business day of December 2021, the interest payment dates shall be last business day of each of March, June, September and December and the maturity date.
Voluntary prepayments of the New Term Loan and the New Revolver and voluntary reductions in the unused commitments are permitted in whole or in part, in minimum amounts as set forth in the New Credit Agreement governing the New Credit Facilities, with prior notice, and without premium or penalty, except that certain refinancings or repricings of the New Term Loan within six months after the Closing Date will be subject to a prepayment premium of 1.00% of the principal amount repaid.
The New Credit Agreement contains certain covenants that, among other things, limit the Company’s ability, and the ability of certain of its subsidiaries, to incur additional indebtedness, sell assets or consolidate or merge with or into other companies, pay dividends or repurchase or redeem capital stock, make certain investments, issue capital stock of subsidiaries, incur liens, prepay, redeem or repurchase subordinated debt, and enter into certain types of transactions with its affiliates. The New Credit Agreement also requires the Company, together with its subsidiaries, to comply with a maximum consolidated secured leverage ratio of 4.25:1.00 as of the measurement date.
The weighted average interest rate on the New Term Loan was 4.29% for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Senior Unsecured Notes
Our Senior Unsecured Notes (the “2021 Unsecured Notes”) due 2029 had an outstanding balance of $400 million as of December 31, 2022, for which interest accrues at a rate of 5.00% per annum and is payable semi-annually in arrears on each January 15 and July 15.
The fees associated with the 2021 Unsecured Notes included debt issuance costs of approximately $5.9 million incurred during the year ended December 31, 2021.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in various legal proceedings in the ordinary course of our business. While we believe resolution of the claims brought against us, both individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse impact on our financial condition or results of operations, litigation of this nature is inherently unpredictable. Our views on these legal proceedings, including those described below, may change in the future. We intend to vigorously defend against these actions, and ultimately believe we should prevail.
Legal Contingencies
We evaluate matters and record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss may be reasonably estimated. We evaluate legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect: (i) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings, and other relevant events and developments; (ii) the advice and analyses of counsel; and (iii) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with such proceedings are expensed as incurred. Due to the inherent uncertainty of legal proceedings as a result of the procedural, factual, and legal issues involved, the outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued.
We did not have any new material legal matters that were accrued as of December 31, 2022.
NRT matter:
NRT Technology Corp., et al. v. Everi Holdings Inc., et al. is a civil action filed on April 30, 2019 against Everi Holdings and Everi FinTech in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by NRT Technology Corp. and NRT Technology, Inc., alleging monopolization of the market for unmanned, integrated kiosks in violation of federal antitrust laws, fraudulent procurement of patents on functionality related to such unmanned, integrated kiosks and sham litigation related to prior litigation brought by Everi FinTech (operating as Global Cash Access Inc.) against the plaintiff entities. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory damages, treble damages, and injunctive and declaratory relief. Discovery is closed. The Court removed the case from the September trial calendar and requested briefs from the parties on relevant legal issues. Briefing was completed in December 2022. The parties are currently awaiting an order from the court setting the matter for
evidentiary hearing. Due to the current stage of the litigation, we are currently unable to estimate the probability of the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate the range of possible damages, if any.
Zenergy Systems, LLC matter:
Zenergy Systems, LLC v. Everi Payments Inc. is a civil action filed on May 29, 2020, against Everi FinTech in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada, Clark County by Zenergy Systems, LLC, alleging breach of contract, breach of a non-disclosure agreement, conversion, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and breach of a confidential relationship related to a contract with Everi FinTech that expired in November 2019. The plaintiff is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. Everi FinTech has counterclaimed against Zenergy alleging breach of contract, breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and for declaratory relief. The case is set for trial in April 2023. Due to the current stage of the litigation, we are currently unable to estimate the probability of the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate the range of possible damages, if any.
Sightline Payments matter:
Sightline Payments LLC v. Everi Holdings Inc., et al. is a civil action filed on September 30, 2021, against Everi Holdings, Everi FinTech, Everi Games Holding Inc., and Everi Games (collectively referred to herein as “Everi”) in the United States District Court, Western District of Texas (Waco Division) by Sightline Payments LLC alleging patent infringement in violation of 35 U.S.C. § 271 et seq. The plaintiff’s complaint alleges that Everi’s CashClub Wallet product infringes on certain patents owned by the plaintiff. The plaintiff is seeking compensatory damages. Everi filed a Motion to Dismiss or Transfer for Lack of Venue. On June 1, 2022, the Court granted Everi’s Motion to Dismiss ruling that the Western District of Texas was not the proper venue for an action against Everi Fintech, Everi Holdings, and Everi Games. On June 23, 2022, the plaintiff, Sightline Payments LLC, filed an appeal of the District Court’s Order. The appeal is underway. Due to the current stage of the litigation, we are currently unable to estimate the probability of the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate the range of possible damages, if any.
Sightline USPTO matters:
In February and March 2022, Everi Payments Inc. filed five Petitions for Inter Partes Review (“IPR”) with the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (the “PTAB”) of the United States Patent and Trademark Office seeking invalidation of certain claims of U.S. Patent Nos. 8,708,809, 8,998,708, 9,196,123, 9,466,176, and 9,785,926 owned by Sightline Partners LLC. In August and September 2022, decisions by the PTAB were issued granting the IPRs. Briefing and discovery is underway. Oral argument is scheduled for June 24, 2023. Due to the current stage of these matters, we are currently unable to estimate the probability of the outcome or reasonably estimate the range of possible damages, if any.
Mary Parrish matter:
Mary Parrish v. Everi Holdings Inc., et al. is a civil action filed on December 28, 2021, against Everi Holdings and Everi FinTech in the District Court of Nevada, Clark County by Mary Parrish alleging violation of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (FACTA) amendment to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Plaintiff’s complaint alleges she received a printed receipt for cash access services performed at an Everi Payments’ ATM which displayed more than four (4) digits of the account number. Plaintiff seeks statutory damages, punitive damages, injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, and other relief. Everi filed a Petition for Removal to the United States District Court, District of Nevada. Thereafter, Everi filed a Motion to Dismiss, which is pending in the United States District Court. Due to the early stages of the litigation, we are currently unable to estimate the probability of the outcome of this matter or reasonably estimate the range of possible damages, if any.
In addition, we have commitments with respect to certain lease obligations discussed in “Note 3 — Leases” and installment payments under our asset purchase agreements discussed in “Note 4 — Business Combinations.”

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
STOCKHOLDER'S EQUITY STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY
On May 4, 2022, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a new share repurchase program in an amount not to exceed $150.0 million pursuant to which we may purchase outstanding Company common stock in open market or privately negotiated transactions over a period of eighteen (18) months through November 4, 2023, in accordance with Company and regulatory policies and trading plans established in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The actual number of shares to be purchased will depend upon market conditions and is subject to available liquidity, general market and economic conditions, alternative uses for the capital and other factors. All shares purchased will be held in the Company’s treasury for possible future use. There is no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase, and the program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. This new repurchase program supersedes and replaces, in its entirety, the previous share repurchase program.
There were approximately 5.0 million shares repurchased during the year ended December 31, 2022 at an average price of $16.93 per share for an aggregate amount of $84.3 million. The remaining availability under the May 2022 $150.0 million share repurchase program was $65.7 million as of December 31, 2022. There were no share repurchases during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Preferred Stock. Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended, allows our Board of Directors, without further action by stockholders, to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the designations, powers, preferences, privileges and relative participating, optional, or special rights as well as the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the preferred stock, including dividend rights, conversion rights, voting rights, terms of redemption and liquidation preferences. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had no shares of preferred stock outstanding.
Common Stock. Subject to the preferences that may apply to shares of preferred stock that may be outstanding at the time, the holders of outstanding shares of common stock are entitled to receive dividends out of assets legally available at the times and in the amounts as our Board of Directors may from time to time determine. All dividends are non-cumulative. In the event of the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of Everi, the holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in all assets remaining after the payment of liabilities, subject to the prior distribution rights of preferred stock, if any, then outstanding. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Cumulative voting for the election of directors is not provided for. The common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and is not subject to conversion or redemption. There are no sinking fund provisions applicable to the common stock. Each outstanding share of common stock is fully paid and non-assessable. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, we had 119,389,510 and 116,996,348 shares of common stock issued, respectively.
Treasury Stock. In addition to open market purchases of common stock authorized under the Share Repurchase Program, employees may direct us to withhold vested shares of restricted stock to satisfy the maximum statutory withholding requirements applicable to their restricted stock vesting. We repurchased or withheld from restricted stock awards 0.7 million and 0.5 million shares of common stock at an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.0 million and $9.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, to satisfy the maximum applicable tax withholding obligations related to the vesting of such restricted stock awards.

Equity Incentive Awards
Our 2014 Equity Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective May 19, 2021, the “Equity Incentive Plan”) is used to attract and retain key personnel, to provide additional incentives to employees, directors, and consultants, and to promote the success of our business. Our Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, which has the authority to select individuals who are to receive equity incentive awards and to specify the terms and conditions of grants of such awards, including, but not limited to the vesting provisions and exercise prices, as applicable.
Generally, we grant the following types of awards: (i) restricted stock units with either time- or performance-based criteria; (ii) time-based options; and (iii) market-based options. We estimate forfeiture amounts based on historical patterns.
A summary of award activity is as follows (in thousands):

Outstanding, December 31, 20226,793 2,709 
There are approximately 3.7 million awards of our common stock available for future equity grants under our existing equity incentive plans.
Stock Options
The fair value of our standard time-based options was determined as of the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The assumptions used for options granted for the year ended December 31, 2022 included a 3% risk-free interest rate, an expected life of 4.9 years, an expected volatility of 56%, and a zero percent expected dividend yield. There were no time-based options granted for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Our time-based stock options granted under our equity plans generally vest at a rate of either 33% or 25% per year on each of the first three or four anniversaries of the grant dates, and expire after a ten-year period.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised was $4.9 million, $46.5 million, and $6.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
The unrecognized non-cash compensation expense related to options expected to vest as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 was not material.
We recorded approximately $0.1 million, $0.3 million and $1.4 million in non-cash compensation expense related to options granted that were expected to vest as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We received approximately $1.9 million, $18.2 million and $6.2 million in cash proceeds from the exercise of options during 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Restricted Stock Units
The fair value of our restricted stock units awarded is based on the closing stock price of our common stock at the date of grant.
Time-based Awards
The time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) granted to executives and the employee base, during 2022, 2021 and 2020, generally vest at a rate of either 33% per year on each of the first three anniversaries of the dates of grant, or 100% on the anniversary of grant date ending after either 1 year, 2 years or 3 years.
The RSUs granted to independent members of our Board of Directors, during 2022, 2021 and 2020, vest on the one-year anniversary of the date of grant and settle on the earliest of the following events: (i) ten-year anniversary of the date of grant; (ii) death; (iii) the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in the Equity Incentive Plan), subject to qualifying conditions; or (iv) the date that is six months following the separation from service, subject to qualifying conditions.
Performance-based Awards
The performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) granted during 2022 will be evaluated by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors after a performance period, beginning on the date of grant through December 31, 2024, based on certain revenue and adjusted operating cash flow growth rate metrics, with achievement of each measure to be determined independently of one another. To the extent the performance criteria of the metrics are approved, the eligible awards will become vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant. We record stock-based compensation expense over the required service period based on the amount of shares expected to vest pursuant to the achievement measures associated with the performance award.
The performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) granted during 2021 will be evaluated by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors after a performance period, beginning on the date of grant through December 31, 2023, based on certain revenue and free cash flow growth rate metrics, with achievement of each measure to be determined
independently of one another. To the extent the performance criteria of the metrics are approved, the eligible awards will become vested on the third anniversary of the date of grant.
The PSUs granted during 2020 will be evaluated by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors after a performance period, beginning on the date of grant through December 31, 2022, based on total revenue and certain revenue growth rate metrics. If the performance criteria of the metrics are approved, the eligible awards will become vested on the third anniversary of the grant dates.

(1) As required by the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, effective January 1, 2022, our research and development expenditures were capitalized and amortized, which resulted in higher taxable income for 2022 with an equal amount of deferred tax benefit.
Net Operating Losses (“NOLs”) and Research Credits Carry-forwards
We had approximately $115.5 million, or $24.3 million, tax effected, of accumulated federal NOLs as of December 31, 2022. These NOLs include $20.7 million, or $4.4 million, tax effected, of losses incurred prior to 2018, which may be carried forward and applied to offset taxable income for 20 years and will expire starting in 2037. In addition, these NOLs include approximately $94.8 million, or $19.9 million, tax effected, of losses incurred subsequent to 2017, which may be carried forward indefinitely and offset 80% of our taxable income in future years.
We had tax effected state NOL carry-forwards of approximately $3.6 million as of December 31, 2022, which will expire between 2023 and 2042. The determination and utilization of these state NOL carry-forwards are dependent upon apportionment percentages and other respective state laws, which may change from year to year. As of December 31, 2022, approximately $0.6 million of our valuation allowance relates to certain state NOL carry-forwards that we estimate are not more likely than not to be realized.
We had approximately $18.5 million, tax effected, of federal research and development credit carry-forwards as of December 31, 2022. The research and development credits are limited to a 20-year carry-forward period and will expire starting in 2029.
Lastly, we had $0.3 million of Australian research and development credit carry-forwards as of December 31, 2022, which may be carried forward indefinitely.
Deferred Tax Assets - Valuation Allowance Assessment
Deferred tax assets arise primarily because expenses have been recorded in historical financial statement periods that will not become deductible for income taxes until future tax years. We record a valuation allowance to reduce the book value of our deferred tax assets to amounts that are estimated on a more likely than not basis to be realized. This assessment requires judgment and is performed on the basis of the weight of all available evidence, both positive and negative, with greater weight placed on information that is objectively verifiable such as historical performance.
Based on an evaluation of the then-available positive and negative evidence, we determined it was appropriate to establish a full valuation allowance on our federal and states deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2016. At that time, and in subsequent quarters, negative evidence, including three years of cumulative losses, outweighed the positive evidence. However, as of December 31, 2021, our U.S. operations emerged from a three-year cumulative loss position. Based on our analysis, we removed the full valuation allowance in the federal and certain state jurisdictions, contributing to a $67.9 million reduction in our valuation allowance in 2021. The significant positive evidence in our analysis included: improvements in profitability, product mix, capital levels, credit metrics, a stabilizing economy and future longer-term forecasts showing sustained profitability. We continue to believe the positive evidence outweighs the negative evidence as of December 31, 2022 and it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized.

We analyzed filing positions in the federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions in which we are required to file income tax returns, as well as the open tax years in these jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2022, we recorded approximately $2.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits, all of which would impact our effective tax rate, if recognized. We do not anticipate that our unrecognized tax benefits will materially change within the next 12 months. The Company has not accrued any penalties and interest for its unrecognized tax benefits. Other than the unrecognized tax benefit recorded, we believe that our income tax filing positions and deductions will be sustained upon audit, and we do not anticipate other adjustments that will result in a material change to our financial position. We may, from time to time, be assessed interest or penalties by tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments historically have been minimal and immaterial to our financial results. Our policy for recording interest and penalties associated with audits and unrecognized tax benefits is to record such items as a component of income tax in our Statements of Operations.
Foreign Operations
We had unrepatriated foreign earnings of approximately $15.3 million as of December 31, 2022. These earnings are considered permanently reinvested, as it is management’s intention to reinvest these foreign earnings in foreign operations. We project sufficient cash flow, or borrowings available under our Senior Secured Credit Facilities in the U.S.; therefore, we do not need to repatriate our remaining foreign earnings to finance U.S. operations at this time. Due to the 2017 Tax Act, there is no U.S. federal tax on cash repatriation from foreign subsidiaries, however, it could be subject to foreign withholding and other taxes.
Other
We are subject to taxation in the U.S. and various states and foreign jurisdictions. We have a number of federal and state income tax years still open for examination as a result of our net operating loss carry-forwards. Accordingly, we are subject to examination for both U.S. federal and some of the state tax returns for the years 2005 to present. For the remaining state, local, and foreign jurisdictions, with some exceptions, we are no longer subject to examination by tax authorities for years before 2019.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT INFORMATION SEGMENT INFORMATION
Operating segments are components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision-making group (the “CODM”). Our CODM generally consists of the Chief Executive Officer, and the Chief Financial Officer. Our CODM allocates resources and measures profitability based on our operating segments, which are managed and reviewed separately, as each represents products and services that can be sold separately to our customers. Our segments are monitored by management for performance against our internal forecasts.
We have reported our financial performance based on our segments in both the current and prior periods. Our CODM determined that our operating segments for conducting business are: (i) Games and (ii) FinTech:
Everi Games provides gaming operators with gaming technology and entertainment products and services, including: (i) gaming machines, primarily comprising Class II, Class III and HHR slot machines placed under participation or fixed-fee lease arrangements or sold to casino customers; (ii) providing and maintaining the central determinant systems for the VLTs installed in the State of New York and similar technology in certain tribal jurisdictions; and (iii) B2B digital online gaming activities.
Everi FinTech provides gaming operators with financial technology products and services, including: (i) financial access and related services supporting digital, cashless and physical cash options across mobile, assisted and self-service channels; (ii) loyalty and marketing software and tools, RegTech software solutions, other information-related products and services, and hardware maintenance services; and (iii) associated casino patron self-service hardware that utilizes our financial access, software and other services. We also develop and offer mobile-first applications aimed at enhancing patron engagement for customers in the casino, sports, entertainment and hospitality industries. Our solutions are secured using an end-to-end security suite to protect against cyber-related attacks allowing us to maintain appropriate levels of security. These solutions include: access to cash and cashless funding at gaming facilities via ATM debit withdrawals, credit card financial access transactions, and POS debit card purchases at casino cages, kiosk and mobile POS devices; accounts for the CashClub Wallet, check warranty services, self-service loyalty and fully integrated kiosk maintenance services; self-service loyalty tools and promotion management software; compliance, audit, and data software; casino credit data and reporting services; marketing and promotional offering subscription-based services; and other ancillary offerings.
Corporate overhead expenses have been allocated to the segments either through specific identification or based on a reasonable methodology. In addition, we record depreciation and amortization expenses to the business segments.
Our business is predominantly domestic with no specific regional concentrations that were material to our results of operations or financial condition, and no significant assets in foreign locations.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)
12 Months Ended
Dec. 31, 2022
Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements are prepared under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
Business Combinations When we acquire a business, we recognize the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, at their acquisition date fair values. Goodwill is measured and recognized as the excess of consideration transferred over the net of the acquisition date fair values of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. Significant estimates and assumptions are required to value assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date as well as contingent consideration, where applicable. These estimates are preliminary and typically include the calculation of an appropriate discount rate and projection of the cash flows associated with each acquired asset over its estimated useful life. As a result, up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company may record adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed with the corresponding offset to goodwill (referred to as the measurement period). In addition, deferred tax assets, deferred tax liabilities, uncertain tax positions, and tax related valuation allowances assumed in connection with a business combination are initially estimated as of the acquisition date. We reevaluate these items quarterly based upon facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date and any adjustments to preliminary estimates are recorded to goodwill, in the period of identification, if identified within the measurement period. Upon the conclusion of the measurement period or final determination of the values of assets acquired or liabilities assumed, whichever comes first, any subsequent adjustments are recorded in the Statements of Operations.
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash and balances on deposit in banks and financial institutions. We consider highly liquid investments with maturities of three months or less at the time of purchase to be cash and cash equivalents. Such balances generally exceed the federal insurance limits; however, we periodically evaluate the creditworthiness of these institutions to minimize risk.
ATM Funding Agreements
We obtain all of the cash required to operate our ATMs through various ATM Funding Agreements. Some gaming operators provide the cash utilized within the ATM (“Site-Funded”). The Site-Funded receivables generated for cash dispensed from transactions performed at our ATMs are owned by us and we are liable to the gaming operator for the face amount of the cash dispensed. In our Balance Sheets, the amount of the receivable for transactions processed on these funds dispensed transactions is included within settlement receivables and the amount due to the gaming operator for the face amount of dispensing transactions is included within settlement liabilities.
For the non-Site-Funded locations, we enter into commercial arrangements with third party vendors to provide us the currency needed for normal operating requirements for our ATMs. For the use of these funds, we pay a cash usage fee based upon the target federal funds rate. Under these agreements, the currency supplied by the third-party vendors remains the sole property of these suppliers until funds are dispensed, at which time the third-party vendors obtain an interest in the corresponding settlement receivable. As the cash is an asset of these suppliers, it is therefore not reflected on our Balance Sheets. The usage fee for the cash supplied in these ATMs is included as interest expense in the Statements of Operations. Our rationale to record cash usage fees as interest expense is primarily due to the similar operational characteristics to a revolving line of credit, the fact that the fees are calculated on a financial index, and the fees are paid for access to a capital resource.
Settlement Receivables and Settlement Liabilities We provide cash settlement services to gaming operators related to our financial access services, which involve the movement of funds between various parties involved in these types of transactions. We receive reimbursement from the patron’s credit or debit card issuing financial institution for the amount owed to the gaming operator plus the fee charged to the patron. These activities result in amounts due to us at the end of each business day that we generally recover over the next few business days, which are classified as settlement receivables on our Balance Sheets. In addition, cash settlement services result in amounts due to gaming operators for the cash disbursed to patrons through the issuance of a negotiable instrument or through electronic settlement for the face amount provided to patrons that we generally remit over the next few business days, which are classified as settlement liabilities on our Balance Sheets.
Warranty Receivables
If a gaming operator chooses to have a check warranted, it sends a request to our third-party check warranty service provider, asking whether it would be willing to accept the risk of cashing the check. If the check warranty provider accepts the risk and warrants the check, the gaming operator negotiates the patron’s check by providing cash for the face amount of the check. If the check is dishonored by the patron’s bank upon presentment, the gaming operator invokes the warranty, and the check warranty service provider purchases the check from the gaming operator for the full check amount and then pursues collection activities on its own. In our Central Credit Check Warranty product under our agreement with the third-party service provider, we receive all of the check warranty revenue. We are exposed to risk for losses associated with any warranted items that cannot be collected from patrons issuing the items.
The warranty receivables amount is recorded in trade and other receivables, net on our Balance Sheets. On a monthly basis, the Company evaluates the collectability of the outstanding balances and establishes a reserve for the face amount of the expected losses on these receivables. The warranty expense associated with this reserve is included within cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) on our Statements of Operations.
Allowance for Credit Losses We continually evaluate the collectability of outstanding balances and maintain an allowance for credit losses related to our trade and other receivables and notes receivable that have been determined to have a high risk of uncollectability, which represents our best estimates of the current expected credit losses to be incurred in the future. To derive our estimates, we analyze historical collection trends and changes in our customer payment patterns, current and expected conditions and market trends along with our operating forecasts, concentration, and creditworthiness when evaluating the adequacy of our allowance for credit losses. In addition, with respect to our check warranty receivables, we are exposed to risk for the losses associated with warranted items that cannot be collected from patrons issuing these items. We evaluate the collectability of the outstanding balances and establish a reserve for the face amount of the current expected credit losses related to these receivables. Account balances are charged against the provision when the Company believes it is probable the receivable will not be recovered. The provision for doubtful accounts receivable is included within operating expenses and the check warranty loss reserves are included within financial access services cost of revenues in the Statements of Operations.
Inventory Our inventory primarily consists of component parts as well as finished goods and work-in-progress. The cost of inventory includes cost of materials, labor, overhead and freight. The inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value and accounted for using the first in, first out method (“FIFO”).
Restricted Cash Our restricted cash primarily consists of: (i) funds held in connection with certain customer agreements; (ii) funds held in connection with a sponsorship agreement; (iii) wide-area progressive (“WAP”)-related restricted funds; and (iv) financial access activities related to cashless balances held on behalf of patrons. The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash reported within the Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively (in thousands).
Property and Equipment Property and equipment, which includes assets leased to customers, are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation, and are computed using the straight-line method over the lesser of the lease term or estimated life of the related assets, generally one to five years. Player terminals and related components and equipment are included in our rental pool. The rental pool can be further delineated as “rental pool – deployed,” which consists of assets deployed at customer sites under participation or fixed fee arrangements, and “rental pool – undeployed,” which consists of assets held by us that are available for customer use. Rental pool – undeployed also consists of previously deployed units currently back with us to be refurbished awaiting re-deployment. Routine maintenance of property, equipment and leased gaming equipment is expensed in the period incurred, while major component upgrades are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated remaining useful life of the component. Sales and retirements of depreciable property are recorded by removing the related cost and accumulated depreciation from the accounts. Gains or losses on sales and retirements of property are reflected in our Statements of Operations. Property, equipment and leased assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. Impairment is indicated when future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, do not exceed the carrying value of the asset.
Placement Fee and Development Agreements We enter into placement fee and, to a certain extent, development agreements to provide financing for the expansion of existing facilities, or for new gaming facilities. Funds provided under placement fee agreements are not reimbursed, while funds provided under development agreements are reimbursed to us, in whole, or in part. In return, the customer facility dedicates a percentage of its floor space to placement of our player terminals, and we receive a fixed percentage of those player terminals’ hold amounts per day over the term of the agreement, which is generally from 12 to 83 months. Certain of the agreements contain player terminal performance standards that could allow the facility to reduce a portion of our guaranteed floor space. In addition, certain development agreements allow the facilities to buy out floor space after advances that are subject to repayment have been repaid. The agreements typically provide for a portion of the amounts retained by the gaming facility for their share of the operating profits of the facility to be used to repay some or all of the advances recorded as notes receivable.
Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired plus liabilities assumed arising from business combinations. We test for impairment annually on a reporting unit basis, at the beginning of our fourth fiscal quarter and between annual tests if events and circumstances indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount. The annual impairment test is completed using either: a qualitative “Step 0” assessment based on reviewing relevant events and circumstances; or a quantitative “Step 1” assessment, which determines the fair value of the reporting unit, using both an income approach that discounts future cash flows based on the estimated future results of our reporting units and a market approach that compares market multiples of comparable companies to determine whether or not any impairment exists. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit is less than its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
The evaluation of impairment of goodwill requires the use of estimates about future operating results. Changes in forecasted operations can materially affect these estimates, which could materially affect our results of operations and financial condition. The estimates of expected future cash flows require significant judgment and are based on assumptions we determined to be reasonable; however, they are unpredictable and inherently uncertain, including, estimates of future growth rates, operating margins, and assumptions about the overall economic climate as well as the competitive environment within which we operate. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for purposes of our impairment assessments as of the time of evaluation will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding business plans, competitive environments or anticipated growth rates are not correct, we may be required to record non-cash impairment charges in future periods, whether in connection with our normal review procedures periodically, or earlier, if an indicator of an impairment is present prior to such evaluation.
Our reporting units are identified as operating segments or one level below. Reporting units must: (i) engage in business activities from which they earn revenues and incur expenses; (ii) have operating results that are regularly reviewed by our segment management to ascertain the resources to be allocated to the segment and assess its performance; and (iii) have discrete financial information available. As of December 31, 2022, our reporting units included: (i) Games; (ii) Financial Access Services; (iii) Kiosk Sales and Services; (iv) Central Credit Services; (v) Compliance Sales and Services; (vi) Loyalty Sales and Services, and (vii) Mobile Technologies.
Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization, and are computed primarily using the straight-line method. Other intangible assets consist primarily of: (i) customer relationships (rights to provide Games and FinTech services to gaming operator customers), developed technology, trade names and trademarks, acquired through business combinations and contract rights; and (ii) capitalized software development costs. Customer relationships require us to make renewal assumptions, which impact the estimated useful lives of such assets. Capitalized software development costs require us to make certain judgments as to the stages of development and costs eligible for capitalization. Capitalized software costs placed in service are amortized over their useful lives, generally not to exceed six years. We review intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. Such events or circumstances include, but are not limited to, a significant decrease in the fair value of the underlying business or market price of the asset, a significant adverse change in legal factors or business climate that could affect the value of an asset, or a current period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses. We group intangible assets for impairment analysis at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities. Recoverability of definite lived intangible assets is measured by a comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to future net cash flows expected to be generated by the asset, on an undiscounted basis and without interest or taxes. Any impairment to be recognized is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the fair value of the assets.
Debt Issuance Costs Debt issuance costs incurred in connection with long-term borrowings are capitalized and amortized to interest expense based upon the related debt agreements using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements are included in other assets, non-current, on our Balance Sheets. All other debt issuance costs are included as contra-liabilities in long-term debt.
Revenue Recognition
Overview
We evaluate the recognition of revenue based on the criteria set forth in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606 — Revenue from Contracts with Customers and ASC 842 — Leases, as appropriate. We recognize revenue upon transferring control of goods or services to our customers in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. We enter into contracts with customers that include various performance obligations consisting of goods, services, or combinations of goods and services. Timing of the transfer of control varies based on the nature of the contract. We recognize revenue net of any sales and other taxes collected from customers, which are subsequently remitted to governmental authorities and are not included in revenues or operating expenses. We measure revenue based on the consideration specified in a contract with a customer and adjusted, as necessary.
Collectability
To assess collectability, we determine whether it is probable that we will collect substantially all of the consideration to which we are entitled in exchange for the goods and services transferred to the customer in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. In connection with these procedures, we evaluate the customer using internal and external information available, including, but not limited to, research and analysis of our credit history with the customer. Based on the nature of our transactions and historical trends, we determine whether our customers have the ability and intention to pay the amounts of consideration when they become due to identify potentially significant credit risk exposure.
Contract Combinations - Multiple Promised Goods and Services
Our contracts may include various performance obligations for promises to transfer multiple goods and services to a customer, especially since our Games and FinTech businesses may enter into multiple agreements with the same customer that meet the criteria to be combined for accounting purposes under ASC 606. When this occurs, a Stand-Alone Selling Price (“SSP”) will be determined for each performance obligation in the combined arrangement, and the consideration will be allocated between the respective performance obligations. The SSP of our goods and services is generally determined based on observable prices, an adjusted market assessment approach, or an expected cost-plus margin approach. We utilize a residual approach only when the SSP for performance obligations with observable prices has been established and the remaining performance obligation in the contract with a customer does not have an observable price as it is uncertain or highly variable and, therefore, is not discernible. We use our judgment to analyze the nature of the promises made and determine whether each is distinct or should be combined with other promises in the contract based on the level of integration and interdependency between the individual deliverables.
Disaggregation of Revenues
We disaggregate revenues based on the nature and timing of the cash flows generated by such revenues as presented in “Note 18 Segment Information.”
Outbound Freight Costs, Installation and Training
Upon transferring control of goods to a customer, the shipping and handling costs in connection with sale transactions are generally accounted for as fulfillment costs and included in cost of revenues.
Our performance of installation and training services relating to the sales of gaming equipment and systems and FinTech equipment does not modify the software or hardware in those equipment and systems. Such installation and training services are generally immaterial in the context of the contract; and therefore, such items do not represent a separate performance obligation.
Costs to Acquire a Contract with a Customer
We typically incur incremental costs to acquire customer contracts in the form of sales commissions; however, because the expected benefit from these contracts is one year or less, we expense these amounts as incurred.
Contract Balances
Since our contracts may include multiple performance obligations, there is often a timing difference between cash collections and the satisfaction of such performance obligations and revenue recognition. Such arrangements are evaluated to determine whether contract assets and liabilities exist. We generally record contract assets when the timing of billing differs from when revenue is recognized due to contracts containing specific performance obligations that are required to be met prior to a customer being invoiced. We generally record contract liabilities when cash is collected in advance of us satisfying performance obligations, including those that are satisfied over a period of time. Balances of our contract assets and contract liabilities may fluctuate due to timing of cash collections.

We recognized approximately $27.5 million and $21.3 million in revenue that was included in the beginning contract liability balance during 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Games Revenues
Our products and services include electronic gaming devices, such as Native American Class II offerings and other electronic bingo products, Class III slot machine offerings, HHR offerings, VLTs installed in the State of New York and similar technology in certain tribal jurisdictions, B2B digital online gaming activities, accounting and central determinant systems, and other back-office systems. We conduct our Games segment business based on results generated from the following major revenue streams: (i) Gaming Operations; and ii) Gaming Equipment and Systems.
Gaming Operations
We primarily provide: (i) leased gaming equipment, both Class II and Class III offerings, and HHR on a participation or a daily fixed-fee basis, including standard games and hardware and premium games and hardware, inclusive of local-area progressive, and WAP; (ii) accounting and central determinant systems; and (iii) digital online gaming activities. We evaluate the recognition of lease revenues based on criteria set forth in ASC 842. Under these arrangements, we retain ownership of the machines installed at customer facilities. We recognize recurring rental income over time based on a percentage of the net win per day generated by the leased gaming equipment or a daily fixed fee based on the timing services are provided. Such revenues are generated daily and are limited to the lesser of the net win per day generated by the leased gaming equipment or the fixed daily fee and the lease payments that have been collected from the lessee. Gaming operations revenues generated by leased gaming equipment deployed at sites under placement fee agreements give rise to contract rights, which are amounts recorded to intangible assets for dedicated floor space resulting from such agreements. The gaming operations revenues generated by these arrangements are reduced by the accretion of contract rights, which represents the related amortization of the contract rights recorded in connection with such agreements. Gaming operations lease revenues accounted for under ASC 842 are generally short-term in nature with payment terms ranging from 30 to 90 days. We recognized $197.9 million, $189.8 million, and $116.1 million in lease revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively.
Gaming operations revenues include amounts generated by WAP systems, which are recognized under ASC 606. WAP consists of linked slot machines located in multiple casino properties that are connected to a central system. WAP-based gaming machines have a progressive jackpot administered by us that increases with every wager until a player wins the top award combination. Casino operators pay us a percentage of the coin-in (the total amount wagered), a percentage of net win, or a combination of both for services related to the design, assembly, installation, operation, maintenance, administration, and marketing of the WAP offering. The gaming operations revenues with respect to WAP machines represent a separate performance obligation and we transfer control and recognize revenue over time based on a percentage of the coin-in, a percentage of net win, or a combination of both, based on the timing services are provided. These arrangements are generally short-term in nature with a majority of invoices payable within 30 to 90 days. Such revenues are presented in the Statements of Operations, net of the jackpot expense, which are composed of incremental amounts funded by a portion of coin-in from the players. At the time a jackpot is won by a player, an additional jackpot expense is recorded in connection with the base seed amount required to fund the minimum level as set forth in the WAP arrangements with the casino operators.
In addition, gaming operations include revenues generated under our arrangement to provide the New York State Gaming Commission (the “NYSGC”) with a central determinant monitoring and accounting system for the VLTs in operation at licensed State of New York gaming facilities. Pursuant to our agreement with the NYSGC, we receive a portion of the network-wide net win (generally, cash-in less prizes paid) per day in exchange for provision and maintenance of the central determinant system and recognize revenue over time, based on the timing services are provided. We also provide the central determinant system technology to Native American tribes in other licensed jurisdictions, for which we receive a portion of the revenue generated from the VLTs connected to the system. These arrangements are generally short-term in nature with payments due monthly.
Gaming operations also include revenues generated by our digital solutions comprised of B2B activities. Our B2B operations provide games to our business customers, including both regulated real money and social casinos, which offer the games to consumers on their apps. Our B2B arrangements primarily provide access to our game content, and revenue is recognized over time as the control transfers upon our business partners’ daily access to such content based on either a flat fee or revenue share arrangements with the social and regulated real money casinos, based on the timing services are provided.
Gaming operations also include other revenues that are generated from fees paid by casino customers that participate in our TournEvent of Champions® national slot tournament or who contract with us to provide certain service functions on games that are owned by the customer.
Gaming Equipment and Systems
Gaming equipment and systems revenues are derived from the sale of some combination of: (i) gaming equipment and player terminals; (ii) game content; (iii) license fees; and (iv) ancillary equipment, such as signage and lighting packages. Such arrangements are predominately short-term in nature with payment terms ranging from 30 to 180 days, and with certain agreements providing for extended payment terms up to 39 months. Each contract containing extended payment terms over a period of 12 months is evaluated for the presence of a financing component; however, our contracts generally do not contain a financing component that has been determined to be significant to the contract. Distinct and thus, separately identifiable performance obligations for gaming equipment and systems arrangements include gaming equipment, player terminals, content, system software, license fees, ancillary equipment, or various combinations thereof. Gaming equipment and systems revenues are recognized at a point in time when control of the promised goods and services transfers to the customer, which is generally upon shipment or delivery pursuant to the terms of the contract. The performance obligations are generally satisfied at the same time or within a short period of time.
FinTech Revenues
Financial Access Services
Financial Access Services revenues are generally comprised of the following distinct performance obligations: funds advanced, funds dispensed, and check services. We do not control the funds advanced and funds dispensed services provided to a customer and, therefore, we are acting as an agent whose performance obligation is to arrange for the provision of these services. Our financial access services involve the movement of funds between the various parties associated with financial access transactions and give rise to settlement receivables and settlement liabilities, both of which are settled in days following the transaction.
Funds advance revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees assessed to gaming patrons in connection with credit card financial access and POS debit card financial access transactions. Such fees are primarily based on a combination of a fixed amount plus a percentage of the face amount of the credit card financial access or POS debit card financial access transaction amount. In connection with these types of transactions, we report certain direct costs incurred as reductions to revenues on a net basis, which generally include: (i) commission expenses payable to casino operators; (ii) interchange fees payable to the network associations; and (iii) processing and related costs payable to other third-party partners.
Funds dispensed revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees in the form of cardholder surcharges assessed to gaming patrons in connection with funds dispensed cash withdrawals at the time the transactions are authorized and interchange reimbursement fees paid to us by the patrons’ issuing banks. The cardholder surcharges assessed to gaming patrons in connection with funds dispensed cash withdrawals are currently a fixed dollar amount and not a percentage of the transaction amount. In connection with these types of transactions, we report certain direct costs incurred as reductions to revenues on a net basis, which generally include: (i) commission expenses payable to casino operators; (ii) interchange fees payable to the network associations; and (iii) processing and related costs payable to other third-party partners.
Funds transmitted revenues are primarily comprised of transaction fees assessed to gaming patrons in connection with funds transmitted to a patron’s external bank account or other approved account from a physical device such as our kiosks, or via the CashClub Wallet. In connection with these types of transactions, we report certain direct costs incurred as reductions to revenues on a net basis.
Check services revenues are principally comprised of check warranty revenues and are generally based upon a percentage of the face amount of checks warranted. These fees are paid to us by gaming operators. We report certain direct costs incurred as reductions to revenues on a net basis, which include: (i) warranty expenses, defined as amounts paid by the third-party check warranty service provider to gaming operators to purchase dishonored checks; and (ii) service fees, defined as amounts paid to the third-party check warranty service provider for its assistance.
For financial access services arrangements, since the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits as the performance obligations occur, we recognize revenues as earned over a period of time using an output method depicting the transfer of control to the customer based on variable consideration, such as volume of transactions processed with variability generally resolved in the reporting period.
Software and Other
Software and other revenues include amounts derived from our financial access, loyalty kiosk, compliance, and loyalty related revenue streams from the sale of: (i) software licenses, software subscriptions, professional services, and certain other ancillary fees; (ii) service-related fees associated with the sale, installation, training, and maintenance of equipment directly to our customers under contracts, which are generally short-term in nature with payment terms ranging from 30 to 90 days, secured by the related equipment; (iii) credit worthiness-related software subscription services that are based upon either a flat monthly unlimited usage fee or a variable fee structure driven by the volume of patron credit histories generated; and (iv) ancillary marketing and database services. Software license revenues are recognized at a point in time; software subscriptions are recognized over the term of the contract.
Hardware
Hardware revenues are derived from the sale of our financial access and loyalty kiosks and related equipment and are accounted for under ASC 606, unless such transactions meet definition of a sales type or direct financing lease which are accounted for under ASC 842. Revenues are recognized at a point in time when control of the promised goods and services transfers to the customer generally upon shipment or delivery pursuant to the terms of the contract. The sales contracts are generally short-term in nature with payment terms ranging from 30 to 90 days, while certain agreements provide for extended payment terms of up to 60 months. Each contract containing extended payment terms over a period of 12 months
is evaluated for the presence of a financing component; however, our contracts generally do not contain a financing component that has been determined to be significant to the contract.
Cost of Revenues (Exclusive of Depreciation and Amortization)
The cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) represents the direct costs required to perform revenue generating transactions. The costs included within cost of revenues (exclusive of depreciation and amortization) are comprised primarily of inventory and related costs associated with the sale of our financial access and loyalty kiosks and software, electronic gaming machines and system sale, check cashing warranties, field service, and network operations personnel.
Advertising, Marketing and Promotional Costs We expense advertising, marketing, and promotional costs as incurred.
Research and Development Costs We conduct research and development activities for both our Games and FinTech segments. Our Gaming research and development activities are primarily to develop gaming systems, game engines, casino data management systems, central determination and other electronic bingo-outcome determination systems, video lottery outcome determination systems, gaming platforms and gaming content, and to enhance our existing product lines. Our FinTech research and development activities are primarily to develop: (i) payments products, systems, and related capabilities such as security, encryption and business rule engines that deliver differentiated patron experiences and integrate with our other products; (ii) compliance products that increase efficiencies, profitability, enhance employee/patron relationships, and meet regulatory reporting requirements; (iii) loyalty products, systems, and features that attract, engage, and retain patrons in more intuitive and contextual ways than our competition; (iv) cashless alternatives, such as the CashClub Wallet; and (v) mobile-first applications aimed at enhancing patron engagement for customers in the casino, sports, entertainment, and hospitality industries. Research and development costs consist primarily of salaries and benefits, consulting fees, certification and testing fees. Once the technological feasibility has been established, the project is capitalized until it becomes available for general release.
Income Taxes
We are subject to income taxes in the United States as well as various states and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. We account for income taxes in accordance with accounting guidance whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements or income tax returns. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based upon differences between financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and their respective tax bases using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on the income tax provision and deferred tax assets and liabilities generally is recognized in the results of operations in the period that includes the enactment date. We evaluate the realization of our deferred tax assets based on all available evidence and establish a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that they will not be realized. This assessment considers all available positive and negative evidence, including our past operating results, forecasts of future earnings, the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, the duration of statutory carryforward periods and tax planning strategies.

We recognize tax benefits from an uncertain position only if it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities based on the technical merits of the issue. The amount recognized is the largest benefit that we believe has greater than a 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement.

Although we believe our assumptions, judgments and estimates are reasonable, changes in tax laws, and their interpretation, as well as the examination of our tax returns by taxing authorities, could significantly impact the amounts provided for income taxes in our consolidated financial statements. Our effective tax rate is affected by a number of factors including the actual results of operations, changes in our stock price for shares issued as employee compensation, changes in the valuation of our deferred tax assets or liabilities and changes in tax laws or rates for income taxes and other non-income taxes in various jurisdictions.
Employee Benefits Plan The Company provides a 401(k) Plan that allows employees to defer up to the lesser of the Internal Revenue Code prescribed maximum amount or 75% of their income on a pre-tax basis through contributions to the plan. As a benefit to employees, the Company matches a percentage of these employee contributions (as defined in the plan document).
Fair Values of Financial Instruments The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, settlement receivables, short-term trade and other receivables, settlement liabilities, accounts payable, and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments. The fair value of the long-term trade and loans receivable is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. The fair value of long-term accounts payable is estimated by discounting the total obligation. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of trade and loan receivable approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms generally being slightly over 12 months. The fair value of our borrowings is estimated based on various inputs to determine a market price, such as: market demand and supply, size of tranche, maturity, and similar instruments trading in more active markets.
Foreign Currency Translation Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities for those foreign entities for which the local currency is the functional currency are translated into U.S. dollars based on exchange rates prevailing at the end of each year. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates during the year. The effects of foreign exchange gains and losses arising from these translations are included as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) in the Statements of Operations. Translation adjustments on intercompany balances of a long-term investment nature are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in our Balance Sheets.
Use of Estimates We have made estimates and judgments affecting the amounts reported in these financial statements and the accompanying notes in conformity with GAAP. The actual results may materially differ from these estimates.
Earnings Applicable to Common Stock Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflect the effect of potential common stock resulting from assumed stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock unless it is anti-dilutive. To the extent we report a net loss from continuing operations in a particular period, no potential dilution from the application of the treasury stock method would be applicable.
Share-Based Compensation
Stock-based compensation results in a cost that is measured at fair value on the grant date of an award. Generally, we issue grants that are classified as equity awards. To the extent we issue grants that are considered liability awards, they are remeasured at fair value at the end of each reporting period until settlement with changes being recognized as stock-based compensation cost with a corresponding adjustment recorded to the liability, either immediately or during the remaining service period depending on the vested status of the award. Generally, with respect to stock option awards granted under our plans, they expire 10 years from the date of grant with the exercise price based on the closing market price of our common stock on the date of the grant.
Our restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and performance-based stock units, are measured at fair value based on the closing stock price on the grant date. Our time-based stock option awards are measured at fair value on the grant date using the Black Scholes model. The stock-based compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the awards.
Forfeiture amounts are estimated at the grant date for stock awards and are updated periodically based on actual results, to the extent they differ from the estimates.
Acquisition-Related Costs We recognize a liability for acquisition-related costs when the expense is incurred. Acquisition-related costs include, but are not limited to: financial advisory, legal and debt fees; accounting, consulting and professional fees associated with due diligence, valuation and integration; severance; and other related costs and adjustments.

Recent Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
As of December 31, 2022, other than what has been described above, we do not anticipate recently issued accounting guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Leases
We determine if a contract is, or contains, a lease at the inception, or modification, of a contract based on whether the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Control over the use of an asset is predicated upon the notion that a lessee has both the right to (i) obtain substantially all of the economic benefit from the use of the asset; and (ii) direct the use of the asset.
Operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the expected lease term at commencement date. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected lease term. Our lease arrangements have both lease and non-lease components, and we have elected the practical expedient to account for the lease and non-lease elements as a single lease.
Certain of our lease arrangements contain options to renew with terms that generally have the ability to extend the lease term to a range of approximately one to ten years. The exercise of lease renewal options is generally at our sole discretion. The expected lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such option. The depreciable life of leased assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected term of such assets, unless there is a transfer of title or purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised.
