    Rohan Sundram's questions to Light & Wonder Inc (LNW) leadership • Q2 2025

    Question

    Rohan Sundram from MST Financial requested a walkthrough of the revised Adjusted NPATA guidance, asking what factors below the EBITDA line were causing the change, especially considering the commentary around tax savings.

    Answer

    CFO Oliver Chow detailed several factors impacting the NPATA guidance. He noted that while Grover is a strong AEBITDA driver, it is only modestly accretive to NPATA after D&A and interest. Additionally, higher interest expense from opportunistic share repurchases and elevated D&A from success-based CapEx in Gaming Ops affected the calculation. Chow also mentioned a slight income tax headwind from SBC timing and geographic mix, clarifying that the main benefit from recent tax law changes will be in cash tax savings, not the NPATA line.
