RESULTS OF OPERATION AND FINANCIAL CONDITION. On November 17, 2004, Multimedia Games, Inc. (the "Registrant") issued a press release announcing its fiscal year 2004 results, and on the same date held a related conference call to discuss these results. The full text of the press release issued in connection with the announcement, and the related conference call transcript are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit Nos. 99.1 and 99.2, respectively. The November 17, 2004 press release and the conference call transcript contain forward-looking statements regarding the Registrant, and include cautionary statements identifying important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated. USE OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION The Registrant uses the non-GAAP measure of EBITDA in its earnings releases. EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Although EBITDA is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), the Registrant believes the use of the non-GAAP financial measure EBITDA enhances an overall understanding of the Registrant's past financial performance and provides useful information to the investor, because of its historical use by the Registrant as a performance measure, and the use of EBITDA by virtually all companies in the gaming equipment sector as a measure of performance. However, investors should not consider this measure in isolation or as a substitute for net income, operating income, or any other measure for determining the Registrant's operating performance that is calculated in accordance with GAAP. In addition, because EBITDA is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it may not necessarily be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. The Registrant has included a reconciliation of EBITDA to the most comparable GAAP financial measure, net income, in the attached press release. ITEM 7.01 REGULATION FD DISCLOSURE Historically, the Registrant entered into revenue arrangements with its tribal customers that, among other things, required the Registrant to guarantee certain prize payout levels, to account for and collect all revenues associated with its games, and disburse the allotment to the tribes based on the prize guarantee. Accordingly, revenues have historically been presented on a gross basis to accurately reflect this relationship. Since the Registrant is no longer responsible for guaranteeing prize payouts on a majority of its games, and customers now generally collect total revenues associated with the Registrant's games and remit to the Registrant the net balance due, the Registrant has reclassified its income statement, and is presenting the net amounts due as revenue. On November 17, 2004, in its conference call regarding its fiscal year 2004 results, the Registrant indicated that it would make available on its website certain historical financial statements presented in accordance with this new presentation method. The following is the information provided on the Registrant's website: -2- MULTIMEDIA GAMES, INC.
