Industry market data and industry forecasts are obtained from publicly available information and industry publications. Industry publications generally state that the information contained therein has been obtained from sources believed to be reliable, but that the accuracy and completeness of that information is not guaranteed. Although we believe industry information to be accurate, it is not independently verified by us and we do not make any representation as to the accuracy of that information. In general, we believe there is less publicly available information concerning the international gaming, social and digital gaming industries than the same industries in the U.S.

LIGHT & WONDER, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, amounts in USD, table amounts in millions, except per share amounts)
(1) Description of the Business and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Description of the Business
We are a leading cross-platform global game company with a focus on content and digital markets. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities in our continuing operations primarily includes supplying game content and gaming machines, CMSs and table game products and services to licensed gaming entities; providing social casino and other mobile games to retail customers, including casual gaming; and providing a comprehensive suite of digital RMG, distribution platforms, content, products and services to various gaming entities. Our portfolio of revenue-generating activities in the discontinued operations primarily includes providing instant and draw‑based lottery products, lottery systems and lottery content and services to lottery operators along with providing sports wagering solutions to various gaming entities.
We report our results of continuing operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. Unless otherwise noted, amounts and disclosures included herein relate to our continuing operations.
Effective April 28, 2022, we changed our name to Light & Wonder, Inc. This change is in part due to the sale of the Lottery Business that will continue to use the Scientific Games name and also to align with our vision of becoming the leading cross-platform global game company.
On September 27, 2021, we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Sports Betting business to Endeavor Group Holdings, Inc. (“Endeavor”) in a cash and stock transaction. The sale of the Sports Betting Business is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2022, subject to applicable regulatory approvals and other customary conditions.
On April 4, 2022, we completed the previously announced divestiture of the Lottery Business and received $5.6 billion in gross cash proceeds. This excludes the Austria Business, for which we are awaiting regulatory approval in Austria, which approval is expected to be received and the transaction to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2022, which will provide an additional $104 million of expected gross cash proceeds.
We have reflected the financial results of these businesses as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and reflected the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets, for all periods presented. Refer to Note 2 for further information.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of L&W, its wholly owned subsidiaries, and those subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest. Investments in other entities in which we do not have a controlling financial interest but we exert significant influence are accounted for in our consolidated financial statements using the equity method of accounting. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of L&W and its management, we have made all adjustments necessary to present fairly our consolidated financial position, results of operations, comprehensive loss and cash flows for the periods presented. Such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our 2021 10-K. Interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations to be expected for a full year.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described within the Notes of our 2021 10-K.
Computation of Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Share Attributable to L&W
Basic and diluted net income (loss) attributable to L&W per share is based upon net income (loss) attributable to L&W divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and RSUs only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.
Basic and diluted net loss attributable to L&W per share were the same for all periods presented as all common stock equivalents would be anti-dilutive. We exclud ed 2 million of stock options from the diluted weighted-average common shares
11

outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We excluded 3 million of RSUs from the calculation of diluted weighted-average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
SciPlay Acquisition of Alictus Yazilim Anonim Şirketi (“Alictus”)
On March 1, 2022, SciPlay acquired 80% of all issued and outstanding share capital of privately held Alictus, a Turkey-based hyper-casual game studio for approximately $106 million cash consideration, net of cash acquired. The remaining 20% will be acquired ratably for potential additional consideration payable annually based upon the achievement of specified revenue and earnings targets by Alictus during each of the five years following the acquisition date. Any future payments associated with the acquisition of the remaining 20% will represent a redeemable non-controlling interest, with a minimum payout of $0 million and a maximum payout of $200 million. The Alictus acquisition expands SciPlay’s business in the casual gaming market, growing its game pipeline and diversifying its revenue streams as it advances its strategy to be a diversified global game developer.
We accounted for this acquisition using the acquisition method of accounting whereby the total purchase price was allocated to tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on respective estimated fair values. The estimated fair values of the acquired assets, assumed liabilities and resulting goodwill are subject to adjustment as we finalize our purchase price accounting. The following table summarizes an aggregate disclosure related to the acquisition of Alictus and is based on the preliminary purchase price allocation expected to be finalized by the fourth quarter of 2022:

Total Consideration |  | Cash paid, net of cash acquired(1) |  | Redeemable non-controlling interest(2) |  | Allocation of purchase price to Intangible assets, net(3) |  | Weighted average useful life of acquired intangible assets |  | Excess purchase price allocated to Goodwill(4)
$ | 134 |  |  | $ | 106 |  |  | $ | 21 |  |  | $ | 34 |  |  | 6 | Years |  | $ | 93 |
(1) Exclusive of $6 million acquired in short term investments.
(2) The fair value of the redeemable non-controlling interest was determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model with a discount rate ranging between 2% and 3% and primarily based on reaching certain revenue and earnings-based metrics, with a maximum payout of up to $200 million.
(3) Intangible assets primarily consist of intellectual property consisting of games technology and content and trade name. The fair value of these intangible assets was determined using an income approach method and level 3 inputs in the hierarchy as established by ASC 820. The discount rate used in the valuation analysis was 18%, and the royalty rate used was 1% for the valuation of the “Alictus” trade name and 21% for the valuation of the acquired game content and related technology.
(4) The factors contributing to the recognition of acquisition goodwill are based on game portfolio diversification, expected synergies, assembled workforce and other strategic benefits. None of the resultant goodwill is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The revenue and earning associated with the above acquisition are immaterial to our current and historical consolidated financial statements.
In April 2022, we acquired Playzido, which will expand our iGaming content offering.
New Accounting Guidance - Not Yet Adopted
The FASB issued ASU No. 2020-04 and subsequently ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) in March 2020 and January 2021, respectively. The new guidance provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying U.S. GAAP to contract modifications and hedging relationships, including derivative instruments impacted by changes in the interest rates used for discounting cash flows for computing variable margin settlements, subject to meeting certain criteria, that reference LIBOR or other reference rates expected to be discontinued by June 2023. The ASUs establish certain contract modification principles that entities can apply in other areas that may be affected by reference rate reform and certain elective hedge accounting expedients and exceptions. The ASUs may be applied prospectively. Based on our preliminary assessment completed to date, we do not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
We do not expect that any other recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.
(2) Discontinued Operations
On April 4, 2022, we completed the divestiture of the Lottery Business (excluding the Austria Business as described in Note 1), for which we received $5.6 billion in gross cash proceeds.
12

As described in Note 1, we have reflected the Lottery and Sports Betting Businesses as discontinued operations in our consolidated statements of operations and reflected the assets and liabilities of these businesses as held for sale in our consolidated balance sheets, for all periods presented.
The summarized results of our discontinued operations were as follows:

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  |
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  |  |  |
Total revenue | $ | 288 |  |  | $ | 276 |  |  |  |  |

Due to the discontinued operations classification of these businesses as of the third quarter of 2021, the D&A for these businesses has ceased.

The following table summarizes the major classes of assets and liabilities of businesses held for sale.

| As of
| March 31, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021

(3) Revenue Recognition
13

The following table disaggregates revenues by type within each of our business segments:

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  |
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  |  |  |
Gaming |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Gaming operations(1) | $ | 155 |  |  | $ | 113 |  |  |  |  |
Gaming machine sales | 103 |  |  | 55 |  |  |  |  |
Gaming systems | 51 |  |  | 42 |  |  |  |  |
Table products | 46 |  |  | 34 |  |  |  |  |
Total | $ | 355 |  |  | $ | 244 |  |  |  |  |

Mobile in-app purchases | $ | 140 |  |  | $ | 133 |  |  |  |  |
Web in-app purchases and other(2) | 18 |  |  | 18 |  |  |  |  |
Total | $ | 158 |  |  | $ | 151 |  |  |  |  |
iGaming | $ | 59 |  |  | $ | 58 |  |  |  |  |
(1) Gaming operations revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2021 benefited from $6 million U.K. fixed odds betting terminals (“FOBT”) recovery received from certain U.K. customers for value-added tax charged on FOBTs (“FOBT recovery”) related to a 2020 U.K. court ruling associated with overcharging of value-added tax for gaming operators that consequently reduced our net gaming revenues in those affected prior periods related to these customers and arrangements.
(2) Other primarily represents revenue generated from providing advertising platforms with access to our game software platform, which facilitates the placement of advertising inventory, which was not material in the periods presented.

The amount of rental income revenue that is outside the scope of ASC 606 was $113 million and $63 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, respectively.
Contract Liabilities and Other Disclosures
The following table summarizes the activity in our contract liabilities for the reporting period:

|  |  |  | Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
Contract liability balance, beginning of period(1) |  |  |  | $ | 37 |
Liabilities recognized during the period |  |  |  | 5 |
Amounts recognized in revenue from beginning balance |  |  |  | (5) |
Contract liability balance, end of period(1) |  |  |  | $ | 37 |
(1) Contract liabilities are included within Accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets.

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections results in billed receivables, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on our consolidated balance sheets. Other than contracts with customers with financing arrangements exceeding 12 months, revenue recognition is generally proximal to conversion to cash. The following table summarizes our balances in these accounts for the periods indicated (other than contract liabilities disclosed above):

| Receivables |  | Contract Assets(1)
Beginning of period balance | $ | 440 |  |  | $ | 19 |
End of period balance, March 31, 2022 | 448 |  |  | 25 |
(1) Contract assets are included primarily within Prepaid expenses, deposits and other current assets in our consolidated balance sheets.

As of March 31, 2022, we did not have material unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts expected to be long-term or contracts for which we recognize revenue at an amount other than for which we have the right to invoice for goods or services delivered or performed.
(4) Business Segments
14

We report our operations in three business segments—Gaming, SciPlay and iGaming—representing our different products and services. A detailed discussion regarding the products and services from which each reportable business segment derives its revenue is included in Notes 3 and 4 in our 2021 10-K.

At March 31, 2022, 3% of our total receivables, net, were past due by over 90 days compared to 13% at December 31, 2021.
Credit Quality of Receivables
We have certain concentrations of outstanding receivables in international locations that impact our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. We monitor the macroeconomic and political environment in each of these locations in our assessment of the credit quality of our receivables. The international customers with significant concentrations (generally deemed to be exceeding 10%) of our receivables with terms longer than one year are primarily in the Latin America region (“LATAM”) and are primarily comprised of Mexico, Peru and Argentina. The following table summarizes our LATAM receivables:

| As of March 31, 2022 |  |

Receivables, net | $ | 63 |  |  |  |  | $ | 26 |  |  | $ | 37 |  |  |  |  |  |  |

We continuously review receivables and as information concerning credit quality arise, reassess our expectations of future losses and record an incremental reserve if warranted at that time. Our current allowance for credit losses represents our current expectation of credit losses; however future expectations could change as international unrest or other macro-economic factors impact the financial stability of our customers.
The fair value of receivables is estimated by discounting expected future cash flows using current interest rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and remaining maturities. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of receivables, net, approximated the carrying value due to contractual terms of receivables generally being less than 24 months.

(11) Long-Term and Other Debt
April 2022 Refinancing
On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with other principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI revolver in April 2022, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions.
As a part of these transactions, we entered into the new credit agreements, which contains the following debt facilities:
•$2,200 million new term loan facility maturing in April 2029. The new term loan facility will bear interest at either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the credit agreement) plus 3.00% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 2.00% per annum. The new term loan facility amortizes in quarterly installments in aggregate amounts of equal to 1.00% of the original principal amount per year; and
•$750 million revolving credit facility maturing in April 2027. The new revolving credit facility will bear interest at either (i) Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (or an alternative benchmark rate for non-US dollar borrowings) plus 2.00% per annum or (ii) a base rate plus 1.00% per annum, with one 0.25% per annum step-up and one 0.25% per annum step-down based on SGI’s first lien net leverage ratio at the end of future fiscal quarters.
With the issuance of the new term loan facility and using the proceeds from the divestitures of the Lottery Business (see Note 1), we retired and redeemed the following outstanding debt and paid accrued and unpaid interest thereon plus related premiums, fees and expenses:

Debt instrument |  | Interest rate |  | Maturity |  | Face value as of March 31, 2022 |  | Paid interest |  | Premium, other fees and expenses

Total |  |  |  |  |  | $ | 6,997 |  |  | $ | 48 |  |  | $ | 123 |

19

The new credit facilities are subject to customary affirmative covenants and negative covenants as well as a financial covenant. The financial covenant is solely for the benefit of the new revolving facility, is tested at the end of each fiscal quarter if the outstanding borrowings (excluding up to $5 million of undrawn letters of credit and any cash collateralized letters of credit) under the new revolving facility exceed 30% of the commitments under the new revolving facility, and requires that the Company not be in excess of a maximum consolidated net first lien leverage ratio of 4.50:1.00.

These cross-currency swaps have been designated as a hedge of our net investment in certain subsidiaries.
(2) We designated a portion of our 2026 Secured Euro Notes as a net investment non-derivative hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in our operating results caused by the change in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar (see Note 12 for additional information). The total change in the face value of the 2026 Secured Euro Notes and 2026 Unsecured Euro Notes due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates since the issuance was a reduction of $73 million, of which a gain of $7 million was recognized on remeasurement of debt in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
(3) Primarily comprised of certain revenue transactions presented as debt in accordance with ASC 470.

We were in compliance with the financial covenants under all debt agreements as of March 31, 2022 (for information regarding our financial covenants of all debt agreements, see Note 15 in our 2021 10-K).
For additional information regarding the terms of our credit facilities, Secured Notes and Unsecured Notes, see Note 15 in our 2021 10-K.
(12) Fair Value Measurements
20

The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities is determined by reference to market data and other valuation techniques as appropriate. We believe the fair value of our financial instruments, which are principally cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables, other current assets, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximates their recorded values. Our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are described below.
Derivative Financial Instruments
As of March 31, 2022, we held the following derivative instruments that were accounted for pursuant to ASC 815:
Interest Rate Swap Contracts
We used interest rate swap contracts as described below to mitigate gains or losses associated with the change in expected cash flows due to fluctuations in interest rates on our variable rate debt.
In February 2018, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we pay. These interest rate swap contracts were designated as cash flow hedges under ASC 815. We paid interest at a weighted-average fixed rate of 2.4418% and received interest at a variable rate equal to one-month LIBOR. The total notional amount of interest rate swaps was $800 million. These hedges matured in February 2022.
In April 2022, we entered into the new interest rate swap contracts with $700 million notional amount to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we will pay.
All gains and losses from these hedges were recorded in Other comprehensive income (loss) until the future underlying payment transactions occur. Any realized gains or losses resulting from the hedges were recognized (together with the hedged transaction) as Interest expense. We estimated the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts by discounting the future cash flows of both the fixed rate and variable rate interest payments based on market yield curves. The inputs used to measure the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy as established by ASC 820.
The following table shows the Gain (loss) and Interest expense recognized on our interest rate swap contracts:

| Three Months Ended March 31, |  |
| 2022 |  | 2021 |  |  |  |
Gain recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax | $ | 3 |  |  | $ | 5 |  |  |  |  |
Interest expense recorded related to interest rate swap contracts | 3 |  |  | 5 |  |  |  |  |

The following table shows the effect of interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges in the consolidated statements of operations:

Derivative designated as hedging instrument | — |  |  | — |  |  |  |  |

Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps
We entered into certain cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to achieve more beneficial interest rates by effectively converting $460 million of our fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated 2025 Secured Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments through October 2023, to fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt, with a fixed annual weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.946%. We have designated these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in our operating results caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar.
We use the spot method to measure the effectiveness of our net investment hedge. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the fair value of the $460 million cross-currency interest rate swaps is reported in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in Accumulated other comprehensive loss. The cross-currency basis spread (along with other
21

components of the cross-currency swap’s fair value excluded from the spot method effectiveness assessment) are amortized and recorded to Interest expense. We evaluate the effectiveness of our net investment hedge at the beginning of each quarter.
In April of 2022 and as a result of the April 2022 Refinancing, we settled our cross-currency interest rate swaps and received approximately $50 million in cash proceeds.
The following table shows the fair value of our hedges:

|  |  | As of
| Balance Sheet Line Item |  | March 31, 2022 |  | December 31, 2021
Interest rate swaps(1) | Other liabilities |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 3 |
Cross-currency interest rate swaps(1)(2) | Other assets |  | 46 |  |  | 42 |
(1) The inputs used to measure the fair value of our interest rate swap contracts were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
(2) A gain of $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 is reflected in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in Other comprehensive gain (loss).

Net Investment Non-derivative Hedge — 2026 Secured Euro Notes
For the first quarter of 2022, we designated $208 million of our 2026 Secured Euro Notes as a net investment non-derivative hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in our results caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro relative to the U.S. Dollar.
We use the spot method to measure the effectiveness of our net investment non-derivative hedge. Under this method, for each reporting period, the change in the hedged portion of the carrying value of the 2026 Secured Euro Notes due to remeasurement is reported in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in Other comprehensive loss, and the remaining remeasurement change is recognized in (Loss) gain on remeasurement of debt in our consolidated statements of operations. We evaluate the effectiveness of our net investment non-derivative hedge at the beginning of each quarter, and the inputs used to measure the fair value of this non-derivative hedge are categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent Acquisition Consideration Liabilities
In connection with our acquisitions, we have recorded certain contingent consideration liabilities (including the redeemable non-controlling interest related to Alictus), of which the values are primarily based on reaching certain earnings-based metrics. The related liabilities were recorded at fair value on their respective acquisition dates as a part of the consideration transferred and are remeasured each reporting period (other than for the redeemable non-controlling interest, which is remeasured based on its redemption value). The inputs used to measure the fair value of our liabilities are categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
Contingent acquisition consideration liabilities (including deferred purchase price and redeemable non-controlling interest for Alictus) as of March 31, 2022, are $72 million, of which $19 million is included in Accrued liabilities with the remainder included in Other long-term liabilities, with the increase primarily related to the Alictus acquisition described in Note 1. Contingent acquisition consideration liabilities as of December 31, 2021, were $51 million, of which $3 million was included in Accrued liabilities with the remaining balance included in Other long-term liabilities.

Restricted Stock Units
A summary of the changes in RSUs outstanding under our equity-based compensation plans during the three months ended March 31, 2022 is presented below:

| Number of Restricted Stock Units |  | Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Unvested RSUs as of December 31, 2021 | 2.7 |  |  | $ | 32.03 |

Cancelled | — |  |  | $ | 37.07 |
Unvested RSUs as of March 31, 2022 | 2.5 |  |  | $ | 42.64 |

23

The weighted-average grant date fair value of RSUs granted during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $58.68 and $43.63, respectively. The fair value of each RSU grant is based on the market value of our common stock at the time of grant. At March 31, 2022, we had $85 million in total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relating to unvested RSUs that will be amortized over a weighted-average period of approximately two years, of which $9 million related to employees of discontinued operations. The fair value at vesting date of RSUs vested during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $92.4 million and $42.5 million, respectively.
Share Repurchase Program
As described in Note 17 within our 2021 10-K and in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which the Company is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through February 25, 2025, up to an aggregate amount of $750 million of our outstanding common stock over a three-year period. During the first quarter of 2022, we repurchased 0.9 million shares of common stock under the program at an aggregate cost of $51 million and an average of $59.10 per share.
(14) Income Taxes
We consider new evidence (both positive and negative) at each reporting date that could affect our view of the future realization of deferred tax assets. We evaluate information such as historical financial results, historical taxable income, projected future taxable income, expected timing of the reversals of existing temporary differences and available prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in our analysis. Based on the available evidence, valuation allowances in certain U.S. and non-U.S. jurisdictions remain consistent as of March 31, 2022.
Our income tax expense (including discrete items) was $3 million for both of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021. In 2022, our effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate of 21% primarily as a result of not benefiting year to date losses in continuing operations in accordance with the intra-period tax expense/benefit allocation rules as generally prescribed under ASC 740-20. In all periods, we recorded tax expense relative to pre-tax earnings in jurisdictions without valuation allowances, including our 19% noncontrolling interest in SciPlay.
(15) Leases
Our total operating lease expense for both of the three months ended March 31, 2022 and March 31, 2021 was $6 million. The total amount of variable and short-term lease payments was immaterial for all periods presented.
Supplemental balance sheet and cash flow information related to operating leases is as follows:

As of March 31, 2022, we did not have material additional operating leases that have not yet commenced.
(16) Litigation
24

We are involved in various legal proceedings, which are described in Note 20 within our 2021 10-K. There have been no material changes to these matters since the 2021 10-K was filed with the SEC on March 1, 2022, except as described below.
We record an accrual for legal contingencies when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount or range of the loss can be reasonably estimated (although, as discussed below, there may be an exposure to loss in excess of the accrued liability). We evaluate our accruals for legal contingencies at least quarterly and, as appropriate, establish new accruals or adjust existing accruals to reflect (1) the facts and circumstances known to us at the time, including information regarding negotiations, settlements, rulings and other relevant events and developments, (2) the advice and analyses of counsel and (3) the assumptions and judgment of management. Legal costs associated with our legal proceedings are expensed as incurred. We had accrued liabilities of $27 million for all of our legal matters that were contingencies both as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021.
Substantially all of our legal contingencies are subject to significant uncertainties and, therefore, determining the likelihood of a loss and/or the measurement of any loss involves a series of complex judgments about future events. Consequently, the ultimate outcomes of our legal contingencies could result in losses in excess of amounts we have accrued. We may be unable to estimate a range of possible losses for some matters pending against us or our subsidiaries, even when the amount of damages claimed against us or our subsidiaries is stated because, among other things: (1) the claimed amount may be exaggerated or unsupported; (2) the claim may be based on a novel legal theory or involve a large number of parties; (3) there may be uncertainty as to the likelihood of a class being certified or the ultimate size of the class; (4) there may be uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (5) the matter may not have progressed sufficiently through discovery or there may be significant factual or legal issues to be resolved or developed; and/or (6) there may be uncertainty as to the enforceability of legal judgments and outcomes in certain jurisdictions. Other matters have progressed sufficiently that we are able to estimate a range of possible loss. For those legal contingencies disclosed in Note 20 in our 2021 10-K and this Note 16 as well as those related to the previously disclosed settlement agreement entered into in February 2015 with SNAI S.p.a., as to which a loss is reasonably possible, whether in excess of a related accrued liability or where there is no accrued liability, and for which we are able to estimate a range of possible loss, the current estimated range is up to approximately $13 million in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) related to those legal contingencies. This aggregate range represents management’s estimate of additional possible loss in excess of the accrued liabilities (if any) with respect to these matters based on currently available information, including any damages claimed by the plaintiffs, and is subject to significant judgment and a variety of assumptions and inherent uncertainties. For example, at the time of making an estimate, management may have only preliminary, incomplete, or inaccurate information about the facts underlying a claim; its assumptions about the future rulings of the court or other tribunal on significant issues, or the behavior and incentives of adverse parties, regulators, indemnitors or co‑defendants, may prove to be wrong; and the outcomes it is attempting to predict are often not amenable to the use of statistical or other quantitative analytical tools. In addition, from time to time an outcome may occur that management had not accounted for in its estimate because it had considered that outcome to be remote. Furthermore, as noted above, the aggregate range does not include any matters for which we are not able to estimate a range of possible loss. Accordingly, the estimated aggregate range of possible loss does not represent our maximum loss exposure. Any such losses could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. The legal proceedings underlying the estimated range will change from time to time, and actual results may vary significantly from the current estimate.
Colombia litigation
Our subsidiary, SGI, owned a minority interest in Wintech de Colombia S.A., or Wintech (now liquidated), which formerly operated the Colombian national lottery under a contract with Empresa Colombiana de Recursos para la Salud, S.A. (together with its successors, “Ecosalud”), an agency of the Colombian government. The contract provided for a penalty against Wintech, SGI and the other shareholders of Wintech of up to $5.0 million if certain levels of lottery sales were not achieved. In addition, SGI delivered to Ecosalud a $4.0 million surety bond as a further guarantee of performance under the contract. Wintech started the instant lottery in Colombia but, due to difficulties beyond its control, including, among other factors, social and political unrest in Colombia, frequently interrupted telephone service and power outages, and competition from another lottery being operated in a province of Colombia that we believe was in violation of Wintech’s exclusive license from Ecosalud, the projected sales level was not met for the year ended June 30, 1993.
In 1993, Ecosalud issued a resolution declaring that the contract was in default. In 1994, Ecosalud issued a liquidation resolution asserting claims for compensation and damages against Wintech, SGI and other shareholders of Wintech for, among other things, realization of the full amount of the penalty, plus interest, and the amount of the bond. SGI filed separate actions opposing each resolution with the Tribunal Contencioso of Cundinamarca in Colombia (the “Tribunal”), which upheld both resolutions. SGI appealed each decision to the Council of State. In May 2012, the Council of State upheld the contract default resolution, which decision was notified to us in August 2012. In October 2013, the Council of State upheld the liquidation resolution, which decision was notified to us in December 2013.
25

In July 1996, Ecosalud filed a lawsuit against SGI in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Georgia asserting many of the same claims asserted in the Colombia proceedings, including breach of contract, and seeking damages. In March 1997, the District Court dismissed Ecosalud’s claims. Ecosalud appealed the decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit. The Court of Appeals affirmed the District Court’s decision in 1998.
In June 1999, Ecosalud filed a collection proceeding against SGI to enforce the liquidation resolution and recover the claimed damages. In May 2013, the Tribunal denied SGI’s merit defenses to the collection proceeding and issued an order of payment of approximately 90 billion Colombian pesos, or approximately $30.2 million, plus default interest (potentially accrued since 1994 at a 12% statutory interest rate). SGI filed an appeal to the Council of State, and on December 10, 2020, the Council of State issued a ruling affirming the Tribunal’s decision. On December 16, 2020, SGI filed a motion for clarification of the Council of State’s ruling, which was denied on April 15, 2021. On April 22, 2021, SGI filed a motion for reconsideration relating to that decision, which the Council of State denied on February 21, 2022.
SGI believes it has various defenses, including on the merits, against Ecosalud’s claims. Although we believe these claims will not result in a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations, cash flows or financial position, it is not feasible to predict the final outcome, and we cannot assure that these claims will not ultimately be resolved adversely to us or result in material liability.

Recent Events
•Re-branding - On April 28, 2022 we changed our name to “Light & Wonder, Inc.”
•April 2022 Refinancing - On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with the principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions. This is a major milestone in transforming and deleveraging our balance sheet (see Note 11 for additional information).
•Lottery Divestiture - On April 4, 2022, we completed the divestiture of the Lottery Business and received $5.6 billion in gross cash proceeds. This excludes the Austria Business, for which we are awaiting regulatory approval in Austria, which approval is expected to be received and the transaction to be completed by the end of the second quarter of 2022, which will provide an additional $104 million of expected gross proceeds.
•Share Repurchase - Since the initiation of the program on March 3, 2022 and through May 9, 2022, we returned $147 million of capital to shareholders through the repurchase of 2.5 million shares of common stock.
•Acquisitions - In March 2022, SciPlay acquired Alictus, a Turkey-based hyper-casual game studio that expands the SciPlay business in the casual gaming market for approximately $106 million cash consideration, net of cash acquired (see Note 1 for additional details). In April 2022, we acquired Playzido, which will expand our iGaming content offering.
Impact of COVID-19
While the COVID-19 pandemic had impacted our operating results during the first quarter of 2021, the operating results substantially recovered during the first quarter of 2022 due to the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions, such as social distancing and mask mandates. We continue to see fluctuations in infection rates and regulations for various regions along with ongoing domestic and international travel restrictions or warnings, social distancing measures, reduced operating capacity and an overall economic and general uncertainty regarding the magnitude and length of time that these disruptions will continue. Additionally, th e COVID-19 pandemic has impacted supply chains in numerous industries, causing shortages of inputs/outputs, which in turn put inflationary pressures on the economy as a whole. Inflationary pressures may have an impact on discretionary
27

income as people allocate more of their disposable income toward higher priced necessity goods and service, which could impact our customers. These circumstances may change in the future and such changes could be material.
Foreign Exchange
Our results are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates used in the translation of foreign functional currencies into USD and the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions or balances. The impact of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations represents the difference between current rates and prior-period rates applied to current activity. Our exposure to foreign currency volatility on revenue is as follows:

Revenue

Consolidated Revenue by Business Segment
(in millions)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 |  |

The increase in Gaming revenue was primarily due to the continued rebounding of operations since the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on 2021 comparable results, which was driven by increased demand for our products and services.
28

Particularly, we are seeing continued growth and strength in gaming operations and gaming machine sales, with gaming operations exceeding 2019 levels.
SciPlay revenue increased as a result of an increase in average monthly paying users due to a higher payer conversion rate during the period, and to a lesser extent, due to an increase in advertising revenue following the Alictus acquisition.
The increase in iGaming revenue of 2% is due to continuing momentum in the U.S. inclusive of revenue related to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2021 and primarily driven by the strength of our original content. The prior year revenue benefited from strong iGaming performance impacted by COVID-19 closures.

Cost of Revenue
Total cost of revenue increased as a direct result of higher revenue for all three of our business segments as described above, primarily driven by $30 million in higher cost of product revenue associated with higher gaming machine sales.
SG&A
The increase in SG&A was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits in the Gaming and SciPlay segments as a result of increased employee headcount in order to support operations return to higher activity levels, coupled with higher SciPlay user acquisition costs.
R&D
The increase in R&D was primarily due to higher salaries and benefits in the Gaming and SciPlay segments as a result of increased employee headcount in order to support operations returning to higher activity levels, coupled with investments supporting ongoing growth.
D&A
The increase in D&A was primarily due to approximately $16 million related to accelerated amortization of certain of our legacy trade names triggered by corporate wide re-branding (see Note 11 in our 2021 10-K for further details), which was partially offset by fully depreciated assets related to prior acquisitions, net of 2021 acquisitions.
Restructuring and Other
The increase in restructuring and other was primarily due to higher professional services, legal and other charges related to the divestitures.

Gain on remeasurement of debt | $ | 7 |  |  | $ | 25 |  |  |  |  |  |  | Gains are attributable to remeasurement of the 2026 Secured Euro Notes and 2026 Unsecured Euro Notes and reflect changes in the Euro vs. the U.S. Dollar foreign exchange rates between the periods. 67% of our Euro Notes were not treated as a net investment hedge in the first quarter of 2022 compared to 81% in the first quarter of 2021.

29

As described above and in Note 11, we completed the April 2022 Refinancing transactions, and as a result we expect that a substantial amount of the fees and premiums associated with the redeemed notes and unamortized debt discounts and deferred financing costs associated with these debt instruments will result in loss on debt financing transaction charges in the second quarter of 2022.
Discontinued Operations
The $12 million or 4% increase in revenue was primarily due to higher international and domestic Lottery instant products revenue, coupled with higher revenue from the Sports Betting Business due to its continued growth and expansion in the U.S. sports-betting market. The increase in revenue coupled with no D&A recorded for assets held for sale in the first quarter of 2022 drove the increase in net income from discontinued operations, net of tax by $16 million or 20%. Refer to Note 2 for further information on our discontinued operations.
See “Business Segments Results” below for a more detailed explanation of the significant changes in our components of revenue within the individual segment results of operations.
BUSINESS SEGMENTS RESULTS (for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021)
GAMING
Our Gaming business segment designs, develops, manufactures, markets and distributes a comprehensive portfolio of gaming content, products and services. We provide our Gaming portfolio of products and services to commercial casinos, Native American casinos, wide-area gaming operators such as LBOs, arcade and bingo operators in the U.K. and continental Europe, and government agencies and their affiliated operators.
We generate Gaming revenue from both services and product sales. Our services revenue includes revenue earned from Participation gaming machines, other leased gaming machines (including VLTs and electronic table games), supplied table products and services (including Shufflers), casino management technology solutions and systems, and other services revenues. Our product sales revenue includes the sale of new and used gaming machines, electronic table games, VLTs and VGTs, casino-management technology solutions and systems, table products, proprietary table game licensing, conversion kits (including game, hardware or operating system conversions) and spare parts.
For additional information, refer to the Gaming primary business activities summary included within “Business Segment Results” under Item 7 of our 2021 10-K.
Current Year Update
We saw an increase in the demand for our Gaming products and services as the economy continues to rebound from the previously lifted COVID-19 restrictions, causing the return of casino and gaming operations to more normalized pre-COVID levels. Increase in Gaming revenue was driven by Gaming operations, which exceeded 2019 levels due to higher installed base and average daily revenue per unit. We are experiencing some supply chain challenges that could impact our ability to meet demand for our products and delay the timing of fulfillment of these orders and consequently the timing of revenue recognition.

Gaming Operations
Gaming operations revenue increased due to the impacts of COVID-19 disruptions on the prior year period as described in the Consolidated Results – Revenue section above, coupled with strong growth, which exceeded 2019 levels as a result of strong product performance and increased market share. Gaming operations had a 550-unit increase in the U.S. and Canada installed base along with increases in average daily revenue per unit of $7.94 for the U.S. and Canada units and $10.69 for the International units, as we continue to see rebounding in demand since the COVID-19-induced business disruptions. International ending installed base decreased by 1,941-units primarily due to the closure of certain LBOs in the U.K. along with the reduction of some underperforming units in Latin America and certain low yield operations in Greece.
Gaming Machine Sales
Gaming machine sales revenue increased due to higher sales of replacement units both in U.S and Canada and internationally along with a higher average sales price per new unit. Additionally, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the prior year period as described above, resulted in lower unit shipments in the prior year period. The following table summarizes Gaming machine sales changes:

Operating Expenses and AEBITDA
Operating expenses increased by $54 million primarily due to (1) $32 million in higher cost of revenue associated with the increase in revenue as described above, (2) $8 million in higher D&A primarily driven by accelerated amortization of legacy trade names, which were partially offset by fully depreciated assets related to prior acquisitions, and (3) $14 million in higher SG&A and R&D costs.
AEBITDA increased as a result of the strong revenue growth as described above. AEBITDA as a percentage of revenue (“AEBITDA margin”) increased by 4 percentage points to 48%, which is primarily related to increased revenues.
SCIPLAY
Our SciPlay business segment is a leading developer and publisher of digital games on mobile and web platforms. SciPlay operates in the social gaming market, which is characterized by gameplay online, on mobile phones or on tablets, that are social and competitive, and self-directed in pace and session length; as well as the hyper-casual space, which is characterized by simpler core loops and more repetitive gameplay than casual games. SciPlay generates a substantial portion of its revenue from in-app purchases in the form of coins, chips and cards, which players can use to play slot games, table games or bingo games. SciPlay also generates additional revenue, in the hyper-casual space, from the receipt of advertising revenue. Players who install SciPlay’s games typically receive free coins, chips or cards upon the initial launch of the game and additional free coins, chips or cards at specific time intervals. Players may exhaust the coins, chips or cards that they receive for free and may choose to purchase additional coins, chips or cards in order to extend their time of game play. Once obtained, coins, chips and cards (either free or purchased) cannot be redeemed for cash nor exchanged for anything other than game play within SciPlay’s apps. Players who install SciPlay’s hyper-casual games receive free, unlimited gameplay that requires viewing of periodic in-game advertisements.
SciPlay currently offers a variety of social casino games, including Jackpot Party® Casino, Gold Fish® Casino, Quick Hit® S lots, 88 Fortunes® Slots, MONOPOLY® Slots, and Hot Shot Casino®. Our SciPlay business segment continues to pursue its strategy of expanding into the casual games market. Current casual game titles include Bingo Showdown®, Solitaire Pets™ Adventure, and Backgammon Live as well as many titles in the hyper-casual space through our recent acquisition of Alictus, including games such as Candy Challenge 3D™, Boss Life™ and Deep Clean. SciPlay currently plans to launch an additional casual game and a number of hyper-casual games in 2022. SciPlay’s social casino games typically include slots-style game play and occasionally include table games-style game play, while its casual games blend solitaire-style or bingo game play with adventure game features and its hyper-casual games include many simple core loop mechanics. All of SciPlay’s games are offered and played across multiple platforms, including Apple, Google, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft. In addition to SciPlay’s internally created game content, SciPlay’s content library includes recognizable game content from Light & Wonder. This content allows players who like playing land-based game content to enjoy some of those same titles in SciPlay’s free-to-play games. SciPlay has access to Light & Wonder’s library of more than 1,500 iconic casino titles, including titles and content from third-party licensed brands such as MONOPOLY™, THE FLINTSTONES™, JAMES BOND™, and PLAYBOY™. SciPlay’s access to this content, coupled with its years of experience developing in-house content, uniquely positions SciPlay to create compelling digital games.
Current Year Update
On March 1, 2022, SciPlay acquired Alictus, a Turkey-based hyper-casual game studio, which expanded SciPlay’s business in the casual gaming market, grew its game pipeline and diversified its revenue streams as SciPlay advances its strategy to be a diversified global game developer.

nm = not meaningful. pp = percentage points. (1) Mobile penetration is defined as the percentage of business to consumer SciPlay revenue generated from mobile platforms. (2) MAU = Monthly Active Users is a count of visitors to our sites during a month. An individual who plays multiple games or from multiple devices may, in certain circumstances, be counted more than once. However, we use third-party data to limit the occurrence of multiple counting. (3) DAU = Daily Active Users is a count of visitors to our sites during a day. An individual who plays multiple games or from multiple devices may, in certain circumstances, be counted more than once. However, we use third-party data to limit the occurrence of multiple counting. (4) ARPDAU = Average revenue per DAU is calculated by dividing revenue for a period by the DAU for the period by the number of days for the period. (5) MPU = Monthly Paying Users is the number of individual users who made an in-game purchase during a particular month. (6) AMRPPU = Average Monthly Revenue Per Paying User is calculated by dividing average monthly revenue by average MPUs for the applicable time period. (7) Payer conversion rate is calculated by dividing average MPU for the period by the average MAU for the same period.

Total revenues increased as a result of an increase in average monthly paying users due to a higher payer conversion rate during the period and to a lesser extent, due to an increase in advertising revenue following the Alictus acquisition.
The increase in mobile penetration percentage primarily reflects a continued trend of players migrating from web to mobile platforms to play SciPlay’s games.
Average MAU and average DAU for both comparable periods decreased due to the turnover in users. ARPDAU increased as a function of lower average DAU for periods presented.
AMRPPU decreased while MPU increased as payer conversion improved compared to the prior year period.
33

Payer conversion rates have remained at peak levels due to consistent payer interaction with the games by players as a result of the introduction of new content and features into SciPlay’s games.
Operating Expenses and AEBITDA
The increase in operating expenses is primarily correlated with the increase in revenue (as described above) as a result of higher platform fees, higher user acquisition spend of $5 million and higher salaries and benefits related to an increase in headcount, coupled with an increase in D&A due to additional amortization associated with intangible assets acquired in conjunction with the Alictus and Koukoi acquisitions.
AEBITDA decreased primarily due to the increase in operating expenses driven by higher user acquisition spend and personnel costs. AEBITDA margin decreased by 2 percentage points primaril y due to higher operating expenses as described above.
iGAMING
Our iGaming business segment provides a comprehensive suite of digital online gaming content, including digital RMG, distribution platforms, content, products and services. We derive revenue from our content aggregation platforms, including Open Gaming System, remote gaming servers, and various other platforms, which can deliver a wide spectrum of internally developed and branded casino-style games and popular third-party provider casino-style games to gaming operators. We also provide the Open Platform System which offers a wide range of reporting and administrative functions and tools providing operators full control over all areas of digital gaming operations. Generally, we host the play of our game content on our centrally located servers that are integrated with the online casino operators’ websites.
Current Year Update
We continue to expand our customer base and capitalize on growth in the U.S. and other emerging markets by leveraging our industry leading platforms, content and solutions. In April in conjunction with Ontario Canada’s launch of online gaming, we achieved our biggest single market launch, going live with 8 operators on day 1.
In April 2022, we acquired Playzido, which will expand our content offering.
Results of Operations

Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 and 2021

The increase in revenue of 2% is due to continuing momentum in the U.S. inclusive of revenue related to acquisitions completed in the second half of 2021 and primarily driven by the strength of our original content. The prior year revenue benefited from elevated player engagement during COVID-19. AEBITDA remained relatively flat from the prior year period due to investments supporting ongoing growth including our upcoming launch of live dealer in the U.S.
RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE
We do not expect that any recently issued accounting guidance will have a significant effect on our consolidated financial statements.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES AND WORKING CAPITAL
April 2022 Refinancing
On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with the principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions (see Note 11 for additional details).
The following table reflects supplemental information presenting our principal debt balances as of March 31, 2022 adjusted for the impact of the April refinancing transactions:

Cash and Available Liquidity
As of March 31, 2022, our principal sources of liquidity, other than cash flows provided by operating activities, were cash and cash equivalents, including SciPlay cash and cash equivalents (for our SciPlay business segment), cash and cash equivalents of businesses held for sale and amounts available under the SciPlay Revolver (for our SciPlay business segment).

Total as of December 31, 2021 |  | $ | 629 |  |  | $ | 800 |  |  | $ | (12) |  |  | $ | 1,417 |

Total cash held by our foreign subsidiaries (including discontinued operations) was $196 million and $180 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. We believe that substantially all cash held outside the U.S. is free from legal encumbrances or similar restrictions that would prevent it from being available to meet our global liquidity needs.
Our Gaming operations generally require significant upfront capital expenditures, and we may need to incur additional capital expenditures in order to retain or increase market share and units footprint. Our ability to make payments on and to refinance our indebtedness and other obligations depends on our ability to generate cash in the future. We may also, from time to time, repurchase or otherwise retire or refinance our debt, through our subsidiaries or otherwise. In the event we pursue significant acquisitions or other expansion opportunities, we may need to raise additional capital. If we do not have adequate liquidity to support these activities, we may be unable to obtain financing for these cash needs on favorable terms or at all. For additional information regarding our cash needs and related risks, see “Risk Factors” under Part I, Item 1A in our 2021 10-K.
On May 9, 2022, SciPlay Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program under which SciPlay is authorized to repurchase, from time to time through May 9, 2024, up to an aggregate amount of $60 million of SciPlay’s outstanding Class A common stock over a two-year period.

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities from continuing operations | $ | (14) |  |  | $ | 25 |  |  | $ | (39) |

Net cash used in operating activities (after adjustments to reconcile net loss from continuing operations to net cash (used in) provided by operating activities from continuing operations and changes in deferred income taxes and other) increased primarily due to a $50 million increase in earnings (drivers described above), which was offset by an $89 million unfavorable change in working capital accounts.
Changes in working capital accounts, excluding the effects of acquisitions from continuing operations, for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were primarily driven by the timing of disbursements including costs associated with the strategic transactions, higher incentive compensation payout, and higher inventory purchases in order to limit supply chain impacts and support future sale levels.
Net cash provided by operating activities from discontinued operations increased primarily due to higher earnings and favorable impact of working capital changes.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations increased primarily due to SciPlay acquisition of Alictus during the first quarter of 2022, as described in Note 1, and higher capital expenditures. Capital expenditures are composed of investments in systems, equipment and other assets related to contracts, property and equipment, intangible assets and software.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased primarily due to borrowing of $230 million under the SGI revolving credit facility, offset by purchases of treasury stock and taxes paid related to net share settlement of equity awards. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we purchased $51 million of our common stock.
Credit Agreement and Other Debt
On April 14, 2022, we completed a series of refinancing transactions, which, combined with the principal payments on the SGI Term Loan B-5 and SGI Revolver in April, reduced the outstanding face value of our debt by $4,957 million, from $8,910 million as of March 31, 2022 to $3,953 million immediately after the completion of these transactions. See Note 11 and April 2022 Refinancing section above for additional information.
For additional information regarding our credit agreement and other debt, interest rate risk and interest rate hedging instruments, see Notes 15 and 16 and Item 7A “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” in our 2021 10-K and Item 3 below and Note 11 in this form 10-Q.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
As of March 31, 2022, we did not have any significant off-balance sheet arrangements.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes to our contractual obligations disclosed under Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity, Capital Resources and Working Capital — Contractual Obligations” in our 2021 10-K, other than those related to the acquisition described in Note 1 and the debt pay down and refinancing transactions described in Note 11.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates and commodity prices. The following are our primary exposures to market risks:
37

Interest Rate Risk
As of March 31, 2022, the face value of long-term debt was $8,910 million, including $4,168 million of variable-rate obligations. Assuming a constant outstanding balance for our variable-rate long term debt, a hypothetical 1% change in interest rates would decrease/increase interest expense by approximately $42 million. All of our interest rate sensitive financial instruments are held for other than trading purposes.
We used interest rate swap contracts to mitigate interest rate risk associated with a portion of our variable rate debt instruments. The objective of our interest rate swap contracts, which were designated as cash flow hedges of the future interest payments, was to eliminate the variability of cash flows attributable to the LIBOR component of interest expense to be paid on a portion of our variable rate debt. These hedges matured in February 2022.
In April 2022, we entered into new interest rate swap contracts with $700 million notional amount to hedge a portion of our interest expense associated with our variable rate debt to effectively fix the interest rate that we will pay.
Cross-Currency Interest Rate Swaps
During 2018, we entered into certain cross-currency interest rate swap agreements to achieve more attractive interest rates by effectively converting $460 million of our fixed-rate U.S. Dollar-denominated 2025 Secured Notes, including the semi-annual interest payments through October 2023, to a fixed-rate Euro-denominated debt, with a fixed annual weighted average interest rate of approximately 2.946%. We have designated these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements as a net investment hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in our operating results caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro with respect to the U.S. Dollar.
As of March 31, 2022, if these cross-currency interest rate swap agreements were ineffective, the fluctuations in the exchange rates between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar would impact the amount of U.S. Dollars that we would require to settle the Euro-denominated debt at maturity of these agreements. A hypothetical 10% change in the U.S. Dollar in comparison to the Euro exchange rate upon inception of the cross-currency interest rate swap would have increased/decreased our obligation to cash settle the exchanged principal portion in U.S. Dollars by approximately $46 million.
In April of 2022 and as a result of the April 2022 Refinancing, we settled our cross-currency interest rate swaps and received approximately $50 million in cash proceeds.
Net Investment Non-Derivative Hedge - 2026 Secured Euro Notes
We designated a portion of our 2026 Secured Euro Notes as a net investment non-derivative hedge of our investments in certain of our international subsidiaries that use the Euro as their functional currency in order to reduce the volatility in our operating results caused by the changes in foreign currency exchange rates of the Euro with respect to the U.S. Dollar.
Fluctuations in the exchange rates between the Euro and the U.S. Dollar will impact the amount of U.S. Dollars that we will require to settle the 2026 Secured Euro Notes and 2026 Unsecured Euro Notes at maturity. A hypothetical 10% change in U.S. Dollar in comparison to the Euro as of March 31, 2022, would have increased/decreased our obligation to cash settle the principal portion of the 2026 Secured and Unsecured Euro Notes in U.S. Dollars by approximately $64 million.
The completion of the pending disposition of the discontinued operations is expected to result in a reduction of net investments in our international subsidiaries available for hedging, which could result in increased volatility in our operating results.
For additional information regarding interest rate swap contracts, cross-currency interest rate swaps and net investment non-derivative hedges, see Note 12.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as required by Exchange Act Rule 3a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective as of March 31, 2022.
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2022 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
