SciPlay earned $160.1 million during the second quarter of the year, the company reported. This number represents a 4% year-on-year increase.

Despite that, the overall net income decreased because of higher expenses. SciPlay reported $32.3 million in net income for the period, which is over five million lower than Q2 2021’s $37.9 million. Net cash from operating activities was over $11 million down on last year’s $37.6 million.

SciPlay’s share price, on the other hand, continues to fluctuate with various ups and downs. As of the time of this writing, a single share costs $12.28, which is a 27.5% year-on-year decrease.

Meanwhile, the company’s adjusted EBITDA dropped from $47.9 million to $41.1 million. Despite the hurdles, the company seems to be glad about its results. Other than the fiscal numbers, the company reported various milestones.

For example, SciPlay’s Quick Hit Slots enjoyed record revenue for the second quarter in a row. In addition, the company’s mobile penetration increased to 90% (a 2% increase from last year’s results). Lastly, the overall number of monthly paying users increased substantially from 500,000 to 600,000.

The Executives Are Happy

Josh Wilson, chief executive officer of SciPlay, shared his thoughts on the results. He said that his team is thrilled by the progress and the company’s continued momentum. Wilson congratulated the company’s teams that have remained “laser-focused” on executing SciPlay’s strategy.
