SciPlay gains after activist pushed for sale to parent Light & Wonder

SciPlay (NASDAQ:SCPL) rose 5.7% in after hours trading as activist investor Engine Capital, one of the biggest holders of mobile-game maker SciPlay (SCPL), urged the company to consider a sale of itself to parent company Light & Wonder (NASDAQ:LNW). Engine Capital, which has a 5.7% in SciPlay, wants the company to consider selling itself to to Light & Wonder (LNW) for $15 to $16/share, according to a letter Engine Capital wrote to the board's of both companies on Monday. Engine Capital also has a stake in Light & Wonder (LNW). The Engine Capital letter comes after the activist first disclosed a stake in a 13D filing March. In April, SciPlay (SCPL) added Nick Earl, the former CEO of Glu Mobile to its board and in June added three more directors. Engine Capital argued in the letter that the current structure of SciPlay (SCPL) is "inefficient and creates an overhang" on the valuation of both companies. The activist also said it believes Light & Wonder (LNW) also trades at a significant discount to its intrinsic value, partially due to the "drag of SciPlay’s undervaluation." Engine Capital said the recommended purchase of SciPlay for $15-$16 would be immediately accretive to Light & Wonder . "That said, if a deal can’t be reached between both Companies or if Light & Wonder is no longer interested to acquire SciPlay, we don’t believe the status quo is desirable and we would then encourage SciPlay to start a review of its strategic alternatives and look for a buyer with the blessing of Light & Wonder," Engine Capital Managing Partner Arnaud Ajdler and Partner Brad Favreau wrote in the letter. The Engine Capital proposal comes after SciPlay (SCPL) in late December terminated talks with Scientific Games, now called Light & Wonder, for the company to acquire the remaining 19% of SciPlay it didn't own in a stock deal.

SciPlay: Cards Are Improving

SciPlay ended 2021 on a solid note and announced an interesting deal early in the year. A robust balance sheet and solid outlook inspired some confidence. Amidst these non-demanding valuation multiples, appeal appears to be luring here.

SciPlay: Cards Are Not Dealt Right

SciPlay has seen a tough time since it has been spun off from its parent company in 2019. This might be somewhat surprising as this is an online game platform while the pandemic provided a tailwind as well. The controlled status of the company and concerns on quality of the games prevent me from being upbeat here.

Epic Games vs. Apple positions the company to attain higher gross margins by eliminating digital commissions.

SciPlay: The Story Ends Just As It Was Getting Started

SciPlay looks set to be acquired by parent company Scientific Games in an all-stock deal only two years after its IPO. The implied valuation seems underwhelming relative to peers and comparable transactions. However, considering its voting power and the fact that the deal makes good strategic sense for Scientific Games, I see the deal going through. With markets pricing in a slight premium to the 0.25 exchange ratio, there is an opportunity to capture the spread into the year-end close.
