LAS VEGAS, May 13, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaming Partners International Corporation (NASDAQ: GPIC), a leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment, announced financial results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2013.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110512/LA99804LOGO)
For its first quarter of 2013, the Company posted revenues of $14.8 million and net income of $0.5 million, or $0.07 per basic and diluted share. These results compare to revenues of $15.4 million and net income of $1.3 million, or $0.16 per basic and diluted share, for the first quarter of 2012. Gross profit for the quarter was $4.3 million, or 29% of revenues, compared to $5.3 million, or 35% of revenues, in the same quarter of the prior year.
The primary reasons for the decrease in revenue in the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 were a $2.9 million decrease in sales of casino currency without RFID in the Asia-Pacific and European regions and a combined $1.4 million decrease in sales of Paulson chips without RFID and furniture and accessories to casinos in the United States, offset by our initial sale of a new casino currency product with RFID for $3.4 million to an Asia-Pacific casino.
Our gross profit percentage decrease in the first quarter of 2013 from the first quarter of 2012 was primarily related to: (1) a shift in our mix of revenues from our higher-margin Paulson chips toward lower-margin casino currency products; (2) an exceptionally large imbalance in product demand; and (3) the late deferral of the delivery of a major order until later in the year.
The Company ended the first quarter with $24.7 million in cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and no debt. During the first quarter of 2013, the Company purchased 93,740 shares of its common stock under the current repurchase authorization at a cost of $721,934. Under the current repurchase authorization as of March 31, 2013, the Company may repurchase up to an additional 251,660 shares.
"We are seeing the benefit of our customer-focused R&D efforts, evidenced by the first deliveries of a $3.4 million sale of our new casino currency product to an Asia-Pacific casino in January and our new table furniture product to a new US casino in March," commented Greg Gronau, GPIC President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our quarterly results reflect the variability of our global customers' product demands from quarter to quarter. The adjustment of content or timing of an order can have a dramatic impact on our quarterly results."
