Read Larry Connors' blog – Short Term Trading Strategies
Progressive Gaming International Corp.'s President and CEO, Terrance W. Oliver, said, "The $13 - $15 million reduction in annual operating expenses positions the Company to achieve improving EBITDA and cash flows at a time when worldwide economic challenges have slowed the adoption rate for gaming industry system placements. Accordingly, while we believe our cost reductions and continued focus on sales addresses this near-term uncertainty, we have, as disclosed last week, suspended our full year guidance for revenue and systems installed base metrics and EBITDA.
"Progressive Gaming possesses deep domain knowledge in important gaming industry technologies such as RFID systems applications and distributed open software architecture for mission critical regulated industries. Elements of our advanced systems solutions are installed at nearly all major gaming companies; including the most prominent gaming operators worldwide. Notwithstanding the cost reduction announced, we remain ready to meet all of the current and future installation needs of our global customers who have committed to Progressive Gaming's products, systems and solutions.
"We are focused on delivering consistent EBITDA and cash flows based on our system technology expertise, strategic partnership and leaner operating structure. In addition, the Board of Directors continues to evaluate alternative measures to enhance the Company's financial performance and / or increase shareholder value."
The company said it has streamlined certain sales, marketing and service functions by leveraging distribution channels and through the planned consolidation of regional offices. Additionally, the company said it will not participate in trade shows. The company's executive management has agreed to a reduction of their salaries along with foregoing other fringe benefits.
