HARRISON, N.Y., April 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- MGT Capital Investments, Inc. (NYSE MKT: MGT) today reported financial and operational results for the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Developments during the fourth quarter and recent weeks subsequent to yearend are as follows:

Financial Results
For the fourth quarter ended December 30, 2014, total revenue was $354,000, as compared to $203,000 for the same period last year. Gross margin totalled $128,000 (36% of revenue), up substantially from a loss of $155,000 in the fourth quarter of 2013. Operating expenses decreased by approximately 32% to $1.5 million from $2.2 million for the same period in 2013.The decrease was primarily due to lower professional fees and corporate governance related costs. Operating loss was $1.4 million during the fourth quarter, comparing favorably to a loss of $2.4 million in the same period of 2013.
For the twelve months ended December 31, 2014, total revenue was approximately $1.1 million as compared with $396,000 for the same period in 2013. Gross margin totalled $446,000 up from a loss of $163,000 in the 2013 period. The operating loss for the year 2014 was reduced to $5.6 million as compared with $9.5 million for the same period last year.
Cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2014 were $1.6 million. During the quarter, net cash used in operating activities was $900,000, as compared to $1.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. The company expects cash utilization to continue to trend lower for 2015, due to the positive contribution from gross margin of MGT Sports and recent cost reductions. As stated in the Company's 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company anticipates it has sufficient cash on hand, combined with the gross margin from DraftDay, to continue operations at least through March 31, 2016.
Management Commentary and Outlook
In the year since acquisition, MGT has transformed DraftDay with a series of improvements to the platform technology and player experience. In addition, the Company was able to significantly reduce operating expenses and improve gross margin. DraftDay has attained enterprise quality, with transparent audited financial reporting and internal controls, employing highly reliable and scalable technology. The security and regulatory compliance of the platform is confirmed with industry leading KYC (know-your-customer) controls approved by the major credit card processors and gaming attorneys. At the same time, DraftDay and its white label partners maintain a user interface that is highly rated by players.
Over this same year, the daily fantasy sports business has catapulted into the commercial mainstream with full support of institutional investors and the professional sports leagues. Valuations for the top two participants now approximate $1.0 billion each, with hundreds of millions in funding very recently raised from leading media companies and venture capitalists.
In recent weeks, MGT has communicated with several parties expressing interest in a potential investment or purchase of DraftDay. The Company is reviewing multiple indications of interest in an effort to create maximum value from DraftDay's position as the third largest daily fantasy site (measured by customer accounts, player funds, number of contests, and other metrics). Although it is MGT's current intention to retain a significant minority stake in the future of this explosive market, there can be no assurance that any on-going discussions will result in a transaction.
