Impact of the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, temporarily lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility in the financial markets, increased unemployment levels, and caused temporary, and in certain cases, permanent closures of many businesses. The initial impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic have begun to subside with certain aspects of the global economy, equity market valuations, and increased unemployment levels showing signs of recovery. The gaming industry was not immune to these factors as our casino customers closed their gaming establishments and as a result, our operations experienced significant disruptions in the first three quartersquarter of 2020. At2020, with many beginning to reopen their operations over the immediate onsetremainder of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were affected by various measures, including, but not limited to: the institution of social distancing2020 and sheltering-in-place requirements in many states and communities where we operate, which significantly impacted demand for our products and services, and resulted in office closures, the furlough of a majority of our employees, the implementation of temporary base salary reductions for our employees and the implementation of a work-from-home policy.

throughout 2021.
Since the onset of COVID-19, we have implemented measures to mitigate our exposure throughout the global pandemic. While there may be further uncertainty facing our customers as a result of COVID-19, we continue to evaluate our business strategies and the impacts of the global pandemic on our results of operations and financial condition and make business decisions to mitigate further risk. ItWhile gaming industry conditions have improved significantly in the first quarter of 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 2020, it is unclear when, and if the customer volumesequipment purchases will consistently return to pre-COVID levels, the extent a resurgencelevels. Resurgences of COVID-19 and its variants could result in the furtherimpact future customer operations or re-closure of casinos by federal, state, tribal or municipal governments and regulatory agencies or by the casino operators themselves in an effort to contain the COVID-19 global pandemic or mitigate its impact and the impact of vaccines on these matters;our own; however, we continue to monitor the impacts of the global pandemic and make adjustments to our business, accordingly.

Industry conditions have improved as many of the casino properties that again temporarily closed operations in late 2020 began reopening inOur revenues and liquidity for the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 5% of casinos in the United States remained closed, according to the American Gaming Association. Our revenues, cash flows, and liquidity improved during2022 exceeded the first quarter of 2021, as compared to the prior year on a sequential basis. At the onsetnearly all of the pandemic, our customers implemented protocols intended to protect their patronscasino customer locations have again reopened. With various limitations still in effect, we expect that demand and guests from potential COVID-19 exposure and re-establish customer confidence in the gaming and hospitality industry. These measures included enhanced sanitization, limitations on public gathering and casino capacity, patron social distancing requirements, limitations on casino operations and amenities, of which have limited the number of patrons that are able or who desire to attend these venues. This has also impacted the pace at which demandsupply for our products and

services rebounds.
We expect that demand for our products and services will continue tomay be tempered in the short-term, to the extent gaming activity decreases at our customers’ locations, or fails to increase at expected rates, return to pre-pandemic levels and to the extent our customers decide to continue to restrict their capital spending as a result of uncertainty in the industry, or that supply chain disruptions might impact customer deliveries or otherwise. As a result, we continue to monitor and manage liquidity levels and we may, from time to time, evaluate available capital resource alternatives on acceptable terms to provide additional financial flexibility.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic also exacerbates the risks disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the “Annual Report”), including, but not limited to: our ability to comply with the terms of our indebtedness, our ability to generate revenues and, earn profits, and maintain adequate liquidity, our ability to service existing and attract new customers and maintain our overall competitiveness in the market,market; the potential for significant fluctuations in demand for our services,products and services; overall trends in the gaming industry impacting our business, and potential volatility in our stock price, among other consequencesconcerns such as cybersecurity exposure.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by us pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Some of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although we believe the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods have been made. The results for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full fiscal year. The Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2020most recently filed Annual Report.
We evaluate the composition of our revenues to maintain compliance with SEC Regulation S-X Section 210.5-3, which requires us to separately present certain categories of revenues that exceed the quantitative threshold on our Statements of Operations.
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.
10


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.”
9


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.

FinTech Revenues
Our FinTech products and services include solutions that we offer to gaming establishments to provide their patrons with financial access and deposit-basedfunds-based services supporting digital, cashless and physical cash options across mobile, assisted and self-service channels along with related loyalty and marketing tools, and other information-related products and services. In addition, we provideour services operate as part of an end-to-end security suite to protect against cyber-related attacks and maintain the necessary secured environments to maintain compliance with applicable regulatory requirements. 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; federally insured deposit accounts for the CashClub Wallet, check warranty services, self-service ATMs and fully integrated kiosk and 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.

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.

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 anyan impairment exists. To the extent the carrying amount of a reporting unit is less than its estimated fair value, an impairment charge is recorded.
1211


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 March 31, 2021,2022, our reporting units included: (i) Games; (ii) Financial Access Services; (iii) Kiosk Sales and Services; (iv) Central Credit Services; (v) Compliance Sales and Services; and (vi) Loyalty Sales and Services.
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 using the appropriate interest rates. As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, the fair value of trade and loanloans 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):

3. 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 1one to 10ten 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 areis 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 expectedinitial term of 12 months or less (short-term) are not accounted for on our Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, our finance leases are immaterial.were not material.

Lessor
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 9 - Property and Equipment"Equipment" for details of our rental pool assets cost and accumulated depreciation.

Micro Gaming Technologies, Inc.
On December 24, 2019, we acquired certain assets of Micro Gaming Technologies, Inc. (“MGT”), a privately held company that developed and distributed kiosks and software applications to gaming patrons to enhance patron loyalty, in an asset purchase agreement. The acquired assets consisted of existing contracts with gaming operators, technology, and intellectual property intended to allow us to provide gaming operators with self-service patron loyalty functionality delivered through stand-alone kiosk equipment and a marketing platform that manages and delivers gaming operators marketing programs through these patron interfaces. This acquisition further expanded our financial technology loyalty offerings within our FinTech segment. Under the terms of the asset purchase agreement, we paid MGT $15.0 million at the closing of the transaction, with an additional $5.0 million due by April 1, 2020 and a final payment of $5.0 million due two years following the date of closing.
In the second quarter of 2020, we entered into an amendmentPursuant to the asset purchase agreement allowing usarrangement, there is an earn-out provision of up to remitAUD$10 million, to the additional $5.0 million by July 1, 2020, which we paidextent certain growth targets are achieved. The payment, if any, is subject to certain employment restrictions and will be accounted for as compensation expense in June 2020,accordance with a final payment of $5.0 million due by July 1, 2021. GAAP.
The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on the acquisition date as part of the consideration transferred and were included in accounts payable and accrued expenses as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The total consideration for this acquisition is expected to be approximately $25.0 million. The acquisition did not have a significant impact on our results of operations or financial condition for the three months ended March 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 in subsequent periods15,905 
Total purchase consideration$30,885 
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 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: the valuation and estimated useful lives of intangible assets, deferred and unearned revenues, and 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 Closing Date and the final fair value analysis, which we expect to complete no later than the first quarter of 2023.
The information below reflects the preliminary amounts of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the closing date of the transaction (in thousands):

Current assets acquired included approximately $2.8 million in cash. Trade receivables acquired of approximately $5.8 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 $5.5 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 following table summarizes preliminary values of acquired intangible assets (dollars in thousands):

Other Intangible Assets
Trade name3$700 
Developed technology33,600 
Customer relationships97,300 
Total other intangible assets$11,600

5. FUNDING AGREEMENTS
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 $0.7$1.0 million and $1.5$0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, 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 remainremains 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 $451.0$390.4 million and $340.3$401.8 million as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.

10. 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 $682.0$695.4 million and $682.7 million at March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, 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; and (vi) Loyalty Sales and Services.
In accordance with ASC 350 (“Intangibles-GoodwillIntangibles—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.
There was 0no impairment identified for our goodwill for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

13. 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.
22


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 accrued approximately $14.0 million for the legal contingencies in December 2019 in connection with Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act (“FACTA”)-related matters based on ongoing settlement negotiations by and among the various plaintiffs described in the FACTA-related matters discussion below and Everi by and on behalf of itself and Everi FinTech. We expected to recover approximately $7.7 million of the amount accrued from certain of our insurance providers in 2021, for which we had recorded an insurance settlement receivable included within trade and other receivables, net on our Balance Sheets. In addition, we are seeking relief from Peleus Insurance Company pursuant to the provisions of our policy. See below for discussion of Everi Payments Inc. and Everi Holdings Inc. v. Peleus Insurance Company case.
In the first quarter of 2021, we entered into a settlement agreement and received funds from our third-tier insurance carrier in the amount of approximately $1.9 million related to the FACTA matters. We recorded these proceeds against our operating expenses in our Statements of Operations for the first quarter of 2021. In total, the receivables expected have been received in full and the expenses accrued have been paid in full, which resulted in total funds received from our insurance providers of approximately $9.6 million and a net charge of approximately $4.4 million to our Statements of Operations, of which approximately $6.3 million was recorded in December 2019, offset by the reduction of operating expenses of $1.9 million received and recorded in the first quarter of 2021.
We did not have any new material legal matters that were accrued for as of March 31, 2021.2022. We received service of process on one (1) new legal matter (Mary Parrish matter) described below.

On February 28, 2020, our Board of Directors authorized and approved a new share repurchase program granting us the authority to repurchase an amount not to exceed $10.0 million of outstanding Company common stock with no minimum number of shares that the Company is required to repurchase. This repurchase program commenced in the first quarter of 2020 and authorizes us to buy our common stock from time to time in open market transactions, block trades or in private transactions in accordance with trading plans established in accordance with Rules 10b5-1 and 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or by a combination of such methods, including compliance with the Company’s finance agreements. The share repurchase program is subject to available liquidity, general market and economic conditions, alternate uses for the capital and other factors, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

17. INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2022, reflected an effective income tax rate of 23.6%, which was greater than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to state taxes and an accrual for foreign withholding tax, partially offset by both a research credit and the benefit from stock option exercises. The income tax provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021 reflected an effective income tax rate of 5.5%, which was less than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to a decrease in our valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets and the benefit from both stock option exercises and from a research credit.
The decrease in our valuation allowance was primarily due to book income earned during the period. The income tax benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2020 reflected an effective income tax rate of 6.9%, which was less than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to an increase in our valuation allowance due to book loss incurred during the period, partially offset by certain indefinite lived deferred tax assets that can be offset against our indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities.
We have analyzed filing positions in all of the federal, state, and foreign jurisdictions where we are required to file income tax returns, as well as all open tax years in these jurisdictions. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we recorded approximately $1.7$2.2 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. We have not accrued any penalties and interest for our unrecognized tax benefits. 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.
18. SEGMENT INFORMATION

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the global economy, disrupted global supply chains, temporarily lowered equity market valuations, created significant volatility in the financial markets, increased unemployment levels, and caused temporary, and in certain cases, permanent closures of many businesses. The initial impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic have begun to subside with certain aspects of the global economy, equity market valuations, and increased unemployment levels showing signs of recovery. The gaming industry was not immune to these factors as our casino customers closed their gaming establishments and as a result, our operations experienced significant disruptions in the first three quartersquarter of 2020. At2020, with many beginning to reopen their operations over the immediate onsetremainder of the COVID-19 pandemic, we were affected by various measures, including, but not limited to: the institution of social distancing2020 and sheltering-in-place requirements in many states and communities where we operate, which significantly impacted demand for our products and services, and resulted in office closures, the furlough of a majority of our employees, the implementation of temporary base salary reductions for our employees and the implementation of a work-from-home policy.throughout 2021.
Since the onset of COVID-19, we have implemented measures to mitigate our exposure throughout the global pandemic. While there may be further uncertainty facing our customers as a result of COVID-19, we continue to evaluate our business strategies and the impacts of the global pandemic on our results of operations and financial condition and make business decisions to mitigate further risk. ItWhile gaming industry conditions have improved significantly in the first quarter of 2022 and year ended December 31, 2021, compared to 2020, it is unclear when, and if the customer volumesequipment purchases will consistently return to pre-COVID levels, the extent a resurgencelevels. Resurgences of COVID-19 and its variants could result in the furtherimpact future customer operation or re-closure of casinos by federal, state, tribal or municipal governments and regulatory agencies or by the casino operators themselves in an effort to contain the COVID-19 global pandemic or mitigate its impact and the impact of vaccines on these matters;our own; however, we continue to monitor the impacts of the global pandemic and make adjustments to our business, accordingly.

Industry conditions have improved as many of the casino properties that again temporarily closed operations in late 2020 began reopening inOur revenues and liquidity for the first quarter of 2021. As of March 31, 2021, approximately 5% of casinos in the United States remained closed, according to the American Gaming Association. Our revenues, cash flows, and liquidity improved during2022 exceeded the first quarter of 2021, as compared to the prior year on a sequential basis. At the onsetnearly all of the pandemic, our customers implemented protocols intended to protect their patronscasino customer locations have again reopened. With various limitations still in effect, we expect that demand and guests from potential COVID-19 exposure and re-establish customer confidence in the gaming and hospitality industry. These measures included enhanced sanitization, limitations on public gathering and casino capacity, patron social distancing requirements, limitations on casino operations and amenities, of which have limited the number of patrons that are able or who desire to attend these venues. This has also impacted the pace at which demandsupply for our products and services rebounds.
We expect that demand for our products and services will continue tomay be tempered in the short-term, to the extent gaming activity decreases at our customers’ locations, or fails to increase at expected rates, return to pre-pandemic levels and to the extent our customers decide to continue to restrict their capital spending as a result of uncertainty in the industry, or that supply chain disruptions might impact customer deliveries or otherwise. As a result, we continue to monitor and manage liquidity levels and we may, from time to time, evaluate available capital resource alternatives on acceptable terms to provide additional financial flexibility.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic also exacerbates the risks disclosed in our Annual Report, including, but not limited to: our ability to comply with the terms of our indebtedness, our ability to generate revenues and, earn profits, and maintain adequate liquidity, our ability to service existing and attract new customers and maintain our overall competitiveness in the market,market; the potential for significant fluctuations in demand for our services,products and services; overall

Total costs decreased primarily due to our FinTech cost of revenues that decreased by approximately $1.8 million, or 22%, to approximately $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year associated with improved margin performance, most notably from our check warranty solutions, partially offset by a proportional increase in the variable costs as a result of the additional loyalty solutions from our software and other revenues and higher check warranty transaction and dollar volumes from our financial access services revenues. The decrease in total costs and expenses were also partially offset by our Games cost of revenues that increased by approximately $3.7 million, or 33%, to approximately $15.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to the same period in the prior year associated with the additional variable costs from the higher sale of machines included in our gaming and equipment systems cost of revenues as a result of the increase in the sale of machines.
Operating expenses decreased by approximately $1.2 million, or 3%, to approximately $38.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to a recoveryhigher Games and FinTech costs and expenses described below.
Games cost of a disputed payment associated with the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act legal matter received from an insurance carrier of approximately $1.9 million. This recovery was offsetrevenues increased by approximately $0.8$7.7 million, of additional legal fees relatedor 51%, to the settlement and collection of this recovery for our FinTech segment.
Research and development expenses of approximately $8.4$22.8 million were relatively consistent for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to the additional variable costs associated with the higher unit sales from our gaming equipment and systems revenues.
Depreciation expensesFinTech cost of revenues increased by approximately $16.2$2.5 million, were relatively consistentor 39%, to approximately $9.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to the additional variable costs associated with the higher unit sales from our hardware revenues, as well as higher warranty expense from our check warranty solutions from our financial access services.
Amortization expense decreasedOperating expenses increased by approximately $4.6$11.8 million, or 24%31%, to approximately $14.7$49.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to higher payroll and related expenses to support the growth of our operations, including higher employee travel cost resulting from more normalized operations of our customers in our Games and FinTech segments. In addition, the increase was associated with increased legal expenses due to ongoing litigation and legal costs incurred in connection with acquisition activity during the quarter.
Research and development expenses increased by approximately $4.1 million, or 49%, to approximately $12.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This increase was primarily the result of the growth in our operations and the continued investment in new products in our Games and FinTech segments.

Depreciation expense decreased by approximately $1.0 million, or 6%, to approximately $15.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year, as capital spending has been reduced resulting in a lower asset base in our Games segment.

Amortization expense decreased by approximately $1.1 million, or 7%, to approximately $13.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of the Games businessprior years being fully amortized.

our Games segment.
Primarily as a result of the factors described above, our operating income increased by approximately $29.8$12.4 million, or 286%31%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The operating income margin was 29%30% for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to 9%29% for the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense, net of interest income, increaseddecreased by approximately $1.0$7.1 million, or 6%39%, to approximately $18.5$11.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily due to: (i) the debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Fifth Amendment to the existing Credit Agreementinterest savings achieved from a refinancing of our prior credit facilities and unsecured note in the firstthird quarter of 2021; (ii) the amortization2021 that resulted in a lower amount of debt issuance costs incurred in connection with the Fourth Amendment to the existing Credit Agreementprincipal outstanding and entering into the Incremental Term Loan Credit Agreement in the second quarter of 2020; (iii) the additional Incremental Term Loan debt incurred with less favorable variable interest rates in effect; (iv) the accretion of interest related to the acquisition of certain assets from Atrient and Micro Gaming Technologies, Inc. in the prior year; and (iv) a reduction in interestlower borrowing rate.
The income earned. The increase in interest expense, net of interest income,tax provision was partially offset by lower debt balances, more favorable variable interest rates in effect for certain of our debt instruments and reductions to the interest rate on our First Lien Term Loan as a result of repricing transactions.
Loss on extinguishment of debt was approximately $7.4$9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as a result2022, an increase of the redemption and repurchase transactions related to the 2017 Unsecured Notes.
The income tax provision was $1.2approximately $8.5 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2021, as compared to an income tax benefit of $1.0$1.2 million for the same period in the prior year.year. The income tax provision reflected an effective income tax rate of 23.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which was greater than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to state taxes and an accrual for foreign withholding tax, partially offset by both a research credit and the benefit from stock option exercises. The income tax provision reflected an effective income tax rate of 5.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2021,same period in the prior year, which was less thanless than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to a decrease in our valuation allowance due to book income during the period and the benefit from both stock option exercises and from a research credit.The income tax benefit reflected an effective income tax rate of 6.9% for the same period in the prior year, which was less than the statutory federal rate of 21.0%, primarily due to an increase in our valuation allowance due to book loss incurred during the period, partially offset by certain indefinite lived deferred tax assets that can be offset against our indefinite lived deferred tax liabilities.
Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we had net income of approximately $31.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022. We had net income of approximately $20.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021. We had a net loss of approximately $13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.
Critical Accounting PoliciesEstimates 
The preparation of our financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect our reported amounts of assets and liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities in our Financial Statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policiesestimates as the onesthose that involve a significant level of estimation uncertainty and have had or are most importantreasonably likely to the portrayal ofhave a material impact on the financial condition andor results of operations and which require management to make its most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the needregistrant.
There were no material changes to makeour critical accounting estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report.

(1)  Non-GAAP measure. In order to enhance investor understanding of our cash balance, we are providing in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q Net Cash Position and Net Cash Available, which are not measures of our financial performance or position under GAAP. Accordingly, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for GAAP measures, and should be read in conjunction with our balance sheets prepared in accordance with GAAP. We define our (i) Net Cash Position as cash and cash equivalents plus settlement receivables less settlement liabilities; and (ii) Net Cash Available as Net Cash Position plus undrawn amounts available under our Revolving Credit Facility. Our Net Cash Position and Net Cash Available change substantially based upon the timing of our receipt of funds for settlement receivables and payments we make to customers for our settlement liabilities. We present these non-GAAP measures as we monitor these amounts in connection with forecasting of cash flows and future cash requirements, both on a short-term and long-term basis.
Cash Resources
As of March 31, 2021,2022, our cash balance, cash flows, and line of credit are expected to be sufficient to meet our recurring operating commitments and to fund our planned capital expenditures on both a short- and long-term basis. Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 20212022 included cash in non-U.S. jurisdictions of approximately $11.5$22.1 million. Generally, these funds are available for operating and investment purposes within the jurisdiction in which they reside, and we may from time to time consider repatriating these foreign funds to the United States, subject to potential withholding tax obligations, based on operating requirements.
We expect that cash provided by operating activities will also be sufficient for our operating and debt servicing needs during the foreseeable future on both a short- and long-term basis. In addition, we have sufficient borrowings available under our senior secured revolving credit facility to meet further funding requirements. We monitor the financial strength of our lenders on an ongoing basis using publicly available information. Based upon available information, we believe our lenders should be able to honor their commitments under the Credit Agreement (defined in “Note 12 — Long-term Debt”).

Cash flows provided by operating activities increaseddecreased by approximately $242.4$106.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to net income earned, as well as changes in working capital associated with settlement receivables and liabilities from our FinTech segment.segment, partially offset by net income earned in our Games and FinTech segments.
Cash flows used in investing activities decreasedincreased by approximately $3.1$6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to a decreaseacquisition activity in our FinTech segment and an increase in capital expenditures in our Games segment.and FinTech segments.
Cash flows provided byused in financing activities increased by approximately $74.8$3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, as compared to the same period in the prior year. This was primarily attributable to lower option exercise activities and the activities that occurred only in the prior year period with respect to debt related transactions.repayment of our New Term Loan.
Long-Term Debt
Our New Revolver remained fully undrawn as of March 31, 2022.
For additional information regarding our credit agreement and other debt as well as interest rate risk refer to Part I, Item 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, “Note 12 — Long-Term Debt” in Part I, Item 1: Financial Statements.
Contractual Obligations
There were no material changes to our commitments under contractual obligations as compared to those disclosed in our Annual Report, other than an increase to certain purchase obligations of approximately $16.5approximately $41.3 million from those discloseddisclosed in our Annual Report and obligations discussed in “Note 3 — Leases,, Note 4Business Combinations,, and “Note 12 — Long-Term Debt” in Part I, Item 1: Financial Statements. We expect that cash provided by operating activities will be sufficient to meet such obligations during the foreseeable future.
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 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 in “Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies” in Part I, Item 1: Financial Statements, may change in the future. We intend to vigorously defend against these actions, and ultimately believe we should prevail.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
WeIn the normal course of business, we have commercial arrangements with third-party vendors to provide cash for certain of our fund dispensing devices.ATMs. For the use of these funds, we pay a cash usage fee on either the average daily balance of funds utilized multiplied by a contractually defined cash usage rate or the amounts supplied multiplied by a contractually defined cash usage rate. These fundcash usage fees, reflected as interest expense within the Statements of Operations, were approximately $0.7$1.0 million and $1.5$0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. The fundcash usage fees were significantly lowerhigher in the current reporting period as compared to the same period in the prior year as a result of a reduction inincreased funds dispensing volumes at our customer locations as the target federal funds rate, on whichoperational impacts from the fund usage fees were determined.pandemic began to lessen. We are exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the targetapplicable federal funds rate increases.
Under these agreements, the currency supplied by third-party vendors remainsremain their sole property until the funds are dispensed. As these funds are not our assets, supplied cash is not reflected on our Balance Sheets. The outstanding balancebalances of funds provided by the third-party vendors were approximately $451.0$390.4 million and $340.3$401.8 million as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, respectively.
Our primary commercial arrangement, the Contract Cash Solutions Agreement, as amended, with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. provides us with cash up toin the maximum amount of $300 million with the ability to increase the amount as defined within the agreement or otherwise permitted by the vault cash provider. The agreement currently expires on June 30, 2023 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 any losses of cash in the fund dispensing devices under this agreement and we self-insure for this risk. There wereWe incurred no material losses related to this self-insurance for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes in our reported market risks or risk management policies since the filing of our most recent Annual Report.
In the normal course of business, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. We operate and conduct business in foreign countries and, as a result, are exposed to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. Our exposure to foreign currency exchange risk related to our foreign operations is not material to our results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. At present, we do not hedge this exposure; however, we continue to evaluate such foreign currency exchange risk.
In the normal course of business, we have commercial arrangements with third-party vendors to provide cash for certain of our fund dispensing devices. Under the terms of these agreements, we pay a monthly fund usage fee that is generally based upon the target federal funds rate. We are, therefore, exposed to interest rate risk to the extent that the target federal funds rate increases. The outstanding balance of funds provided by the third-party vendors was approximately $451.0$390.4 million as of March 31, 2021;2022; therefore, each 100 basis points increase in the target federal funds rate would have approximately a $4.5$3.9 million impact on income before tax over a 12-month period.
The Term Loan Facility and RevolvingNew Credit Facility and the Incremental Term Loan Credit Facility (collectively, the “Credit Facilities”)Facilities bear interest at rates that can vary over time. We have the option of paying interest on the outstanding amounts under the New Credit Facilities using a base rate or LIBOR. We have historically elected to pay interest based on LIBOR, and we expect to continue to do so for various maturities.
The weighted average interest rate on the New Term Loan, which includes a 50 basis point floor, was 3.59%3.00% for the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022. Based upon the outstanding balance onof the New Term Loan of $735.5$597.0 million as of March 31, 2021,2022, each 100 basis points increase in the applicable LIBOR would have a combined impact of approximately $7.4approximately $6.0 million on interest expense over a 12-month period.
The weighted average interest rate on the Incremental Term Loan Credit Facility was 11.50% for the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Based upon the outstanding balance on the Incremental Term Loan Credit Facility of $124.1 million as of March 31, 2021, each 100 basis points increase in the applicable LIBOR would have an impact of approximately $1.24 million on interest expense over a 12-month period.
The interest rate is fixed at 5.00% for the 7.50% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2025 is fixed;2029; therefore, an increase in LIBOR does not impact the related interest expense.
At present, we do not hedge the risk related to the changes in the interest rate; however, we continue to evaluate such interest rate exposure.
We continue to evaluate the potential impact of the eventual replacement of the LIBOR benchmark, which is set to phase out by the end of 2021.benchmark. We expect to utilize the replacement rate commonly referred to as the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”), which is the anticipated benchmark in place of LIBOR, and we do not expect the transition to SOFR to have a material impact on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of the principal executive officer and the principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on such evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of March 31, 20212022 such that material information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting during the Quarter Ended March 31, 20212022 
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
