Accel Entertainment Earnings Call Transcript Summary of Q1 2026
Key points for investors: Accel reported a strong Q1 2026 with record quarterly revenue of $352 million and adjusted EBITDA of $54 million, both up 9% year-over-year. The company operates 4,540 locations and 28,353 terminals (up 3% and 4% YoY). Illinois remains the core market (Illinois revenue ex-Fairmount $242M) with a completed TITO rollout (initial adoption ~13%) and management expecting early benefits to build through 2026. Chicago is highlighted as a major near-term growth opportunity; management anticipates initial Chicago locations could go live in late 2026 or Q1 2027 pending regulatory approvals. Developing markets showed outsized growth (Nebraska revenue +57%, Georgia +43%) and Nevada expanded materially via the Dynasty Games acquisition and a Rebel Convenience Stores route partnership. Fairmount Park launched live dealer table games and reinvested incremental gaming revenue into racing purses. Capital allocation: ~$12M of share repurchases in Q1 (18.7M shares repurchased since program start, ~$151M remaining authorization), $274M cash, total debt ~$581M, net debt ~$306M and net leverage ~1.4x; $300M revolver undrawn. CapEx guidance for 2026 is $60–70M (mostly maintenance-oriented), and management is emphasizing free cash flow (Q1 FCF ~$20M, cash conversion ~38%). Leadership transition: Andy Rubenstein to Chairman and Mark Phelan to CEO effective August 7, 2026. Key risks/near-term variables include regulatory timing for Chicago and judicial/legislative developments that could affect market expansion.
