Accel Entertainment, Inc. (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 first quarter ended March 31, 2026.
First Quarter and Recent Highlights:
-
Revenue increased 9% to $352 million compared to Q1 ’25
- Ended Q1 ’26 with 4,540 locations; an increase of 3% compared to Q1 ’25
- Ended Q1 ’26 with 28,353 gaming terminals; an increase of 4% compared to Q1 ’25
- Net income of $15 million for Q1 ’26; flat compared to Q1 ’25
- Adjusted EBITDA increased 9% to $54 million for Q1 ’26 compared to Q1 ’25
- Q1 ’26 Adjusted EBITDA and Net income were impacted by a shift in the timing of Fairmount Park purse expense; excluding this item, Adjusted EBITDA and net income would have been $2.0 million and $1.5 million higher, respectively
- Cash and cash equivalents of $274 million and Net debt of $306 million at March 31, 2026
- Repurchased 1.1 million shares of Accel Class A-1 common stock in Q1 ’26 for $12 million
- Illinois revenue, excluding Fairmount Park, increased 6% year-over-year, driven by continued hold-per-day improvement and higher performing customer mix
- Fairmount Park Casino & Racing launched table games and commenced its second racing season in April 2026
Accel CEO, Andy Rubenstein, commented, “Accel delivered another strong quarter to open 2026, delivering our highest ever Q1 adjusted EBITDA. First quarter revenue increased approximately 9% year-over-year to an all-time quarterly record of $352 million, driven by continued strength across our platform and solid hold-per-day growth in Illinois and across our developing markets.
“Our largest market, Illinois, continues to perform well, with revenue growing over 6% year-over-year, supported by strategic location optimization, new machine placements, and the ongoing rollout and customer adoption of ticket-in, ticket-out technology. With our Illinois gaming terminals now TITO-enabled, we continue to see encouraging results and expect that benefit to build through the remainder of 2026 as players become accustomed to the convenience of TITO, just as they have in other markets.
“The placement of gaming terminals in the city of Chicago remains one of the most exciting near-term opportunities in our history. The Illinois Gaming Board is actively processing applications, and we are signing up Chicago locations in anticipation of final regulatory approvals. As the market leader, we believe we are uniquely positioned to move quickly and efficiently when the market opens, leveraging our existing infrastructure, route management platform, and deep local relationships across the state.
“At Fairmount Park, we launched table games in April, expanding our entertainment offering and broadening our customer base. Our second racing season is now underway, and we continue to see steady month-over-month engagement growth at the property as awareness builds.
“Outside of Illinois, we continue to build momentum in our developing markets. Nebraska delivered outstanding results, supported by new machine placements and proprietary content. Louisiana remains a priority for disciplined bolt-on acquisitions, where sellers’ expectations have become more favorable and our pipeline remains active. We’re also very pleased with our gross margin gains across the company, as our developing and emerging markets continue to make strides and become a bigger share of Accel’s portfolio.
“Reflecting our continued confidence in our near-term prospects and the long-term value of Accel shares, we repurchased 1.1 million shares of our common stock in the first quarter for $12 million. Our balance sheet remains strong with Net debt of $306 million and net leverage of approximately 1.4 times, providing ample flexibility to fund organic growth, execute accretive tuck-in acquisitions, and return capital to shareholders.
“As we look ahead, our priorities are clear: drive steady organic growth in our core markets, scale profitability in our developing markets, execute disciplined tuck-in acquisitions, and consistently convert earnings into free cash flow. I am proud of what this team has built and excited about the opportunities ahead as we continue to grow Accel for the long term.”

Location hold-per-day is calculated by dividing net gaming revenue in the period by the average number of locations. We then divide the calculated amount by the number of operational days. We utilize this metric to compare market and location performance on a normalized basis. The percent change in location hold-per-day is the underlying metric used to determine the change in same-store sales. |

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release includes certain financial information not prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States (“GAAP”), including Adjusted EBITDA, Net debt, Net leverage and Free cash flow. Adjusted EBITDA, Net debt, Net leverage and Free cash flow are non-GAAP financial measures and are key metrics that Accel’s management uses to monitor ongoing core operations. Accel’s management believes these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the understanding of Accel’s underlying drivers of profitability and trends in Accel’s business and facilitate company-to-company and period-to-period comparisons because they exclude the effects of certain non-cash items or nonrecurring items that are unrelated to core operating performance. Accel’s management also believes that these non-GAAP financial measures are used by investors, analysts and other interested parties as measures of Accel’s financial performance and to evaluate Accel’s ability to fund capital expenditures, service debt obligations and meet working capital requirements. 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.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income plus:
- Amortization of intangible assets and route and customer acquisition costs
- Stock-based compensation expense
- Loss from unconsolidated affiliates
- Gain on change in fair value of contingent earnout shares
- Other expenses, net which consists of (i) non-cash expenses including the remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities, (ii) non-recurring lobbying and legal expenses related to distributed gaming expansion in current or prospective markets, (iii) other non-recurring expenses, and beginning in 2026 (iv) gain or loss on sale of fixed assets, which were previously presented in general and administrative expenses. Prior periods have not been recast to reflect this change.
- Depreciation and amortization of property and equipment
- Interest expense, net
-
Emerging markets, which reflects the results, on an Adjusted EBITDA basis, for non-core jurisdictions where our operations are developing

- Prior to June 2025, Pennsylvania was considered an emerging market.
- As of June 2025, we no longer have any emerging markets.
- Income tax expense
Net debt is defined as debt, net of current maturities:
- plus Current maturities of debt
- less Cash and cash equivalents
Net leverage is defined as Net debt divided by trailing twelve-month Adjusted EBITDA
Free cash flow is defined as Net cash provided by operating activities:
- less Purchases of property and equipment
- plus Proceeds from sales of property and equipment
