UPDATED: Scientific Games renames itself Light & Wonder and announces a fourth-quarter profit that exceeds expectations.

Allow for Light… and Wonder.

Scientific Games, the Las Vegas-based instant-win lottery-ticket maker, announced a three-year $750 million stock buyback plan and a new brand — Light & Wonder — as part of its Tuesday results report.

The Wall Street Journal had learned about the name change a day before.

The sale of Light & Wonder’s sports betting and lottery businesses, according to CEO Barry Cottle, will allow the Las Vegas company to focus more on casino and online gaming content.

The corporation also established the lnw.com website, which contains information about the new brand. The company’s slots and igaming items are prominently shown on the new website.

Light & Wonder reported higher net income and revenue than expected, but shares dropped 8.3% in normal trade Tuesday, falling $5.22 to $57.70.

For the three months ended Dec. 31, the firm reported net gain from continuing operations of $62 million, or 58 cents per diluted share, reversing a year-earlier continuing-operations loss of $143 million, or $1.57 cents per diluted share. In continuing operations earnings, analysts polled by Seeking Alpha projected 9 cents per diluted share on average.

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) increased 67.4% to $216 million from $129 million, a cash-flow measure that eliminates one-time charges.

Revenue increased by 20.8 percent to $580 million from $480 million, exceeding Seeking Alpha’s average projection of $558.8 million. Light & Wonder said in its 8-K report filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that fourth-quarter gaming revenue increased 30% year over year to $372 million, owing to an increase in its installed premium game base as well as increases in game sales and table-game income.

Light & Wonder had a net income of $371 million, or $3.77 per diluted share, for the full year ended Dec. 31, reversing a loss of $569 million, or $6.02 per share, the previous year. Revenue increased by 29.4% year over year to $2.2 billion from $1.7 billion.

The newly titled company has been promoting itself as a digital gambling corporation whose games straddle platforms — casino, internet, and social — with moves like the December acquisition of European games developer ELK Studios. Cottle told the Journal that by 2024, his company wants to grow its digital income share to 50%.

“That’s where the world is trending,” Cottle told the Journal. “In igaming, particularly in the United States, the land-based operators are getting digital licenses and they want to provide their players 360-degree access to the games that they have.”

The company updated its website address to lnw.com and said that it will operate under a fictitious name until its name change is approved this spring. (The fictitious name was not revealed.) Light & Wonder’s stock will trade under the LNW ticker once the name is approved.

The new website features bursts of colors in red, oranges, purples, greens and cartoon characters — cats, dragons, leprechauns. Cottle said the new name fit the company’s vibe.

“(The name) evokes the kind of feelings we want to capture in the work we do every day,” Cottle told the Journal. “Excitement, inspiration, imagination, maybe even a little bit of magic, and certainly a lot of fun.”

Light & Wonder will host a call on Thursday, March 10 at 9:30 am PT with representatives of the leadership team, including Matt Wilson, Group Chief Executive – Gaming.
