"Our second quarter results highlight ongoing positive momentum in both our Games and Payments businesses,” said Ram V. Chary, president and CEO of GCA.

Chary added, however, that there remain challenges impacting growth opportunities for spot buyers including a longer replacement cycle, less new casino openings and continued capital constraints for a number of operators.

“[T]here is a fundamental need to rebrand the company as we better define our broader opportunities to address our customer's casino for and technology needs,” Chary said.

“Expenses for the rebranding initiative are anticipated cost several million dollars in 2015 with the majority be incurred in the second half of the year. Finally the full year results will also be impacted by our decision to accelerate the timing of a range of growth oriented investments following ongoing customer interactions.”
