(NYSE: ACEL), a leading locals-focused gaming operator partnering with small businesses, local communities, and state governments to provide entertaining, convenient, and safe gaming experiences nationwide, today announced financial and operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2025.<\/p>\n \nHighlights:<\/b><\/p>\n \nAccel CEO Andy Rubenstein commented,<\/p>\n \n\u201cAccel delivered strong results again this quarter, highlighted by 9.1% revenue growth and an 11.5% increase in Adjusted EBITDA. These results reflect our consistent execution and expansion across our markets and once again demonstrate the strength and resilience of our distributed gaming model and return-focused approach to growth.<\/p>\n \n\u201cIn the Illinois and Montana markets, which represent the majority of our revenue, we continue to build on our leading positions and leverage our scale to drive efficiencies, optimize location mix, and expand margins. In Illinois, our growth reflects further in-market expansion and the continued success from our efforts to optimize our portfolio. The roll out of ticket-in, ticket-out functionality is progressing as planned and will enhance player convenience and streamline operations.<\/p>\n \n\u201cAcross our developing markets \u2013 Nebraska, Georgia, and Nevada \u2013 we\u2019re building scale and continue our profitability growth in these markets, while our newer markets, including Louisiana and Fairmount Park Casino & Racing in Illinois, continue to ramp and contribute to consolidated growth. Louisiana market performance continues to scale, reflecting our long-term belief in this market and our ability to grow through bolt-on acquisitions. At Fairmount Park, early results support our long-term confidence in this property\u2019s contribution through the racino, food and beverage, and our sports betting partnership with FanDuel.<\/p>\n \n\u201cWith the completion of our new credit facility, we\u2019ve strengthened our balance sheet, lowered our cost of capital, and extended our maturities to 2030. This new credit facility better positions Accel for continued growth investments and shareholder returns.<\/p>\n \n\u201cLooking ahead, we see meaningful opportunities from the ongoing ramp of Fairmount Park, the continued expansion of the Louisiana market, and the potential for distributed gaming growth in new states and markets. We remain focused on disciplined execution, operational excellence, and our commitment to deliver long-term value for our shareholders.\u201d<\/p>\n \nCondensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Other Data<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nNet Revenues<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nKey Business Metrics<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nCondensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows Data<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nNon-GAAP Financial Information \nAdjusted EBITDA<\/b> is defined as net income plus:<\/p>\n \nNet debt<\/b> is defined as debt, net of current maturities:<\/p>\n \nReconciliation of Net income to Adjusted EBITDA<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nReconciliation of Debt, net of current maturities to Net debt<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n \nConference Call \nAbout Accel \nAccel provides its local partners with a turnkey, full-service, capital-efficient gaming solution that encompasses manufacturing, content, payments, loyalty, 24\/7 customer service, data analysis and reporting and cash logistics.

We cannot guarantee the accuracy of the forward-looking statements, and you should be aware that results and events could differ materially and adversely from those contained in the forward-looking statements due to a number of factors including, but not limited to: the significant variability and unpredictability in Accel\u2019s operating results; Accel\u2019s ability to offer new and innovative products and services that fulfill the needs of location partners and create strong and sustained player appeal; Accel\u2019s dependence on relationships with key manufacturers, developers and third parties to obtain gaming terminals, amusement machines, and related supplies, programs, and technologies for its business on acceptable terms; the negative impact on Accel\u2019s future results of operations by slow growth in demand for gaming terminals and by the slow growth of new gaming jurisdictions and related regulations; Accel\u2019s heavy dependency on its ability to win, maintain and renew contracts with location partners; Accel’s expansion into casino operations and horse racing; unfavorable adverse economic conditions or decreased discretionary spending due to other factors such as terrorist activity or threat thereof, epidemics, pandemics or other public health issues, civil unrest or other economic or political uncertainties that could impact Accel\u2019s business; Accel\u2019s ability to operate in existing markets or expand into new jurisdictions; the geographical concentration of Accel\u2019s business, which subjects it to greater risks from changes in local or regional conditions; Accel\u2019s ability to maintain or improve its competitive advantages in a highly competitive industry; strict government regulations that are constantly evolving and may be amended, repealed, or subject to new interpretations, which may limit existing operations, have an adverse impact on Accel\u2019s ability to grow or may expose Accel to fines or other penalties; Accel\u2019s dependence on the protection of trademarks and other intellectual property; opponents\u2019 persistence in efforts to curtail the expansion of legalized gaming; Accel\u2019s dependence on the security and integrity of the systems and products offered, which, if breached or disrupted, could expose Accel to liability; and other risks and uncertainties indicated from time to time in documents filed or to be filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) including those described in the section entitled \u201cRisk Factors\u201d in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”).<\/p>\n \nAccordingly, forward-looking statements, including any projections or analysis, should not be viewed as factual and should not be relied upon as an accurate prediction of future results.

<\/span><\/b>This press release includes certain financial information not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (\u201cGAAP\u201d), including Adjusted EBITDA and Net debt. Adjusted EBITDA and Net debt are non-GAAP financial measures and are key metrics used to monitor ongoing core operations. Accel\u2019s management believes Adjusted EBITDA and Net debt enhance the understanding of Accel\u2019s underlying drivers of profitability and trends in Accel\u2019s business and facilitates company-to-company and period-to-period comparisons because these non-GAAP financial measures exclude the effects of certain non-cash items or nonrecurring items that are unrelated to core operating performance. Accel\u2019s management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are used by investors, analysts and other interested parties to more fully assess Accel\u2019s financial performance. The non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release should be viewed in addition to, and not as an alternative for, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP that are also presented in this press release. These measures are not substitutes for their comparable GAAP financial measures and there are limitations to using non-GAAP financial measures. For example, the non-GAAP financial measures presented in this press release may differ from similarly titled non-GAAP financial measures presented by other companies, and other companies may not define these non-GAAP financial measures the same way as Accel does.<\/p>\n\n
