By living and breathing innovation, now you can access IGT annual report anytime and anywhere … online and/or on your mobile phone….

At IGT, we are passionate about pioneering change for the long term benefit of our customers, employees, partners, and shareholders. Last week we reported our terrific first quarter 2013 Q1 financial performance.  We continue to lead and transform the gaming industry in an amazing confident way and our first quarter results demonstrate our commitment to unrivaled leadership and success.

High profile business publications have been covering IGT progress and our industry-leading position. A few highlights are included below:

 

IGT’s 1Q Profit Beats Expectations. The company reported that improved revenue helped boost its fiscal first-quarter profit more than 30 percent. – Bloomberg Businessweek (January 22, 2013)

IGT reports growth in most areas of its core business. Wells Fargo Securities gaming analyst Cameron McKnight said he favors IGT over Bally Technologies or WMS Industries as the slot machine business remains "hyper-competitive". – Las Vegas Review-Journal (January 22, 2013)

 

IGT’s both revenue and adjusted earnings per share for the quarter topped analysts' estimates. Looking ahead, the slot machine maker reiterated its adjusted earnings outlook for fiscal 2013. – NASDAQ (January 22, 2013)

 

I believe our best is yet to come …

Best,

Susan Cartwright

Vice President Corporate Communications
