Exhibit 99.1

 

Gaming Partners International Corporation Reports Financial Results for the Third Quarter and First Nine Months of 2016

and Announces Change in Earnings Release Policy

 

Las Vegas, NV (PR Newswire) (November 10, 2016) — Gaming Partners International Corporation (NASDAQ: GPIC) (Company or GPIC), a leading worldwide provider of casino currency and table gaming equipment, announced financial results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2016.

 

During the third quarter of 2016, the Company had revenues of $22.6 million, compared to revenues of $19.8 million in the third quarter of 2015. During the third quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company posted net income of $2.4 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to net income of $1.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, in the same period in 2015.

 

During the first nine months of 2016, the Company had revenues of $59.0 million, compared to revenues of $54.7 million in the same period of 2015. During the first nine months of 2016, the Company posted net income of $4.4 million, or $0.55 per diluted share, compared to net income of $3.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the comparable period of 2015.

 

The increase in our net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 is primarily due to an increase in casino currency sales and a decrease in our general and administrative expenses.

 

The Company announced that it intends to discontinue providing a press release on annual or quarterly basis in connection with the filing of its Form 10-K or Forms 10-Q after the issuance of this earnings release. The Company’s Forms 10-K and Forms 10-Q will continue to be available on the SEC website at www.sec.gov and the Company website at www.gpigaming.com.
