Scientific Games Inc. (NASDAQ:SGMS) recently acquired Sao Paulo, Brazil-based “video bingo content studio” E-SYS Techologia EM Informática S.A. ("EsysnetG") for an undisclosed amount.
Per Scientific Games' Group Chief Executive of Gaming Derik Mooberry, ”This acquisition will enable us to provide our customers with expanded, engaging video bingo content and is yet another example of our continued investment in solutions that help the Company offer the broadest portfolio of innovative products in the industry,"
The acquisition will enable the company to cash in on the mobile as well as online games developed by EsysnetG and help it to grow globally.
Scientific Games’ shares have gained 122.8% in the past year, substantially outperforming the industry’s 36.8% rally.
However, the company’s leveraged balance sheet results in significant interest expense. Adding more debt for funding acquisitions will further enhance its indebtedness and weigh on its profitability.
