Galaxy Gaming Board Authorizes $4 Million Share Repurchase Program
Rhea-AI Summary
Galaxy Gaming (OTC:GLXZ) announced that its Board of Directors has authorized a new share repurchase program of up to $4.0 million of outstanding common stock, effective immediately. The authorization follows the termination of Galaxy’s previously announced merger agreement with Evolution Malta Holding Limited, under which Evolution has acknowledged an obligation to pay Galaxy a $5.2 million termination fee.
According to the company, the Board’s decision reflects confidence in Galaxy’s strategy, balance sheet, management team, and assessment that the stock price does not fully reflect its value and growth prospects. Galaxy highlights expansion of its table games portfolio, growth into new markets, and deeper customer partnerships, supported by a licensing base spanning more than 140 licenses in 28 U.S. states and over 30 countries. The Board also approved adoption of a written Rule 10b5-1 repurchase plan, allowing buybacks via open-market purchases, private transactions, or trading plans, in accordance with Rule 10b-18. A prior repurchase authorization of up to $750,000 was not utilized and is superseded by the new program.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
To enhance investor understanding of the underlying trends in our business, our cash balance and cash available for operating needs, and to provide better comparability between periods in different years, we are providing Adjusted EBITDA in this press release. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of financial performance or position under United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. It should be read in conjunction with our net earnings (loss), operating income (loss), basic or diluted earnings (loss) per share, and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP.
Adjusted EBITDA reflects adjustments to GAAP net income (loss) to exclude interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, stock-based compensation, foreign currency exchange gains and losses, severance and other litigation-related expenses, and other items that do not represent ongoing operations, including loss on extinguishment of debt. Management uses Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate our operating performance and believes it offers investors, regulators, and other stakeholders a view of our operations consistent with how management assesses performance. When considered alongside GAAP results, management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides a more comprehensive understanding of our financial results. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered an alternative to net income (loss) or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of operating results or liquidity. It may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and excludes items that some may consider important in evaluating our performance.
