Item 2.02. Results of Operation and Financial Condition.
On January 27, 2005, Multimedia Games, Inc. (the "Registrant") issued a press
release announcing its first-quarter fiscal year 2005 results, and on the same
date held a related conference call to discuss these results. The full text of
the press release issued in connection with the announcement, and the related
conference call transcript are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as
Exhibit Nos. 99.1 and 99.2, respectively. The January 27, 2005 press release and
the conference call transcript contain forward-looking statements regarding the
Registrant, and include cautionary statements identifying important factors that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated.
Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
The Registrant uses the non-GAAP measure of EBITDA in its earnings releases.
EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the
Registrant believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an
overall understanding of the Registrant's past financial performance and
provides useful information to the investor, because of its historical use by
the Registrant as a performance measure, and the use of EBITDA by virtually all
companies in the gaming equipment sector as a measure of performance. However,
investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for
net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining the
Registrant's operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP.
In addition, because EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may
not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other
companies. The Registrant has included a reconciliation of EBITDA to the most
comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, in the attached press release.
