"Bally remains unwavering in its commitment to shareholder value, as demonstrated by the 38 percent two-year Diluted EPS compound annual growth rate, among many other critical metrics," said Neil Davidson, the Company's Chief Financial Officer. "The growth and stability of our revenues that are recurring in nature continue to provide significant financial flexibility. With the planned acquisition of SHFL entertainment we now expect to utilize the majority of our excess free cash flow to repay debt.
