		<description><![CDATA[International Game Technology (IGT) holds a leadership position in slot machines. In January, the company reported adjusted earnings of 23 cents per share in the first quarter of 2010, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 20 cents a share. This was due to increased cost cutting and higher sales of replacement slots. The quarter benefited from increased North American replacement units compared to the prior-year quarter, large-scale deployment of the sbX platform and improvement in operating margin – the highest in the last six quarters. The results were also boosted by increased international growth, offset by a decrease in overall domestic placement levels, resulting in total sales decline. However, revenue growth has suffered due to reduced demand for game play. Hence, IGT is focusing on reducing operational costs to improve earnings. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The leader in slot machine development and manufacturing, International Game Technology, Inc. (IGT), announced the closure of its operations in Japan due to ongoing difficult market conditions and lack of a strategic fit with its core business. The closure is expected to be completed by the third quarter of fiscal 2010. IGT expects to record approximately $20 million in severance-related and other charges in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2010. The key goal for IGT in 2010 is to manage costs and focus on operating efficiencies. Given the economic downturn and reduced demand for game play, revenue growth has been hit hard. Hence, IGT is focusing on reducing operational costs to improve profitability. We remain positive on IGT&#8217;s cost cutting measures, which will help it generate stronger margins ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We have a Neutral rating on International Game Technology (IGT), indicating that it would perform in line with the market. Our target price of $21.00 is based on a P/E multiple of 23.6X our 2010 EPS estimate, a discount to the peer group. While spending appears to be rebounding, the recovery in the leisure and gaming industry appears to be slow. IGT holds a leadership position in slot machines and is well positioned to benefit from the recovery, as more casinos seek to upgrade their games and systems. The company is a leading manufacturer, designer, producer and marketer of computerized casino gaming equipment, systems and devices worldwide. Strategic acquisitions and various licensing agreements have enabled the company to grow its customer base, expand market share and acquire a large portfolio ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[International Game Technology (IGT) reported adjusted earnings of 19 cents per share during fiscal 2009 fourth quarter, compared to a net income of 28 cents in the year-ago quarter. The result topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3 cents. In the quarter, the company recorded non-cash charges of approximately $77.2 million, or 26 cents per share to give effect to a reduction in the carrying value of its investment in Walker Digital Gaming Inc. These charges also included a decline in the value of its Las Vegas Gaming International investment and foreign deferred tax provision. Total revenue fell 18.6% to $514.6 million from the year-ago quarter, primarily due to weakness in product revenue (45% of total revenue), which fell 23.2% to $231.4 million, while units shipped worldwide decreased 30% year-over-year. Revenue from Gaming Operations (55% ]]></description>
