Century

compared to Q1 2022
- Net income of $9.2 million for Q1 2023; a decrease of 42%

2023 compared to the $3.4 million gain in Q1 2022
- Adjusted EBITDA of $46.1 million for Q1 2023; an increase of

stock in Q1 2023
Accel CEO Andy Rubenstein commented, “Our record-breaking
performance this quarter is a direct testament to the strength of
our business and execution of our growth strategy despite ongoing
macroeconomic uncertainty. We have seen significant increases in
both locations and gaming terminals over the past year and are
excited to continue expanding our distributed gaming offerings. Our
asset-light and hyper-local business model gives us a truly unique
competitive advantage as we further cement Accel’s position as the
preferred choice in distributed gaming.”

Amortization of intangible assets and route and customer
acquisition costs consist of upfront cash payments and future cash
payments to third-party sales agents to acquire the location
partners that are not connected with a business acquisition, as
well as the amortization of other intangible assets. We amortize
the upfront cash payment over the life of the contract, including
expected renewals, beginning on the date the location goes live,
and recognizes non-cash amortization charges with respect to such
items. Future or deferred cash payments, which may occur based on
terms of the underlying contract, are generally lower in the
aggregate as compared to established practice of providing higher
upfront payments, and are also capitalized and amortized over the
remaining life of the contract. Future cash payments do not include
cash costs associated with renewing customer contracts as we do not
generally incur significant costs as a result of extension or
renewal of an existing contract. Location contracts acquired in a
business combination are recorded at fair value as part of the
business combination accounting and then amortized as an intangible
asset on a straight-line basis over the expected useful life of the
contract of 15 years. “Amortization of intangible assets and route
and customer acquisition costs” aggregates the non-cash
amortization charges relating to upfront route and customer
acquisition cost payments and location contracts acquired, as well
as the amortization of other intangible assets.
(2)
Stock-based compensation consists of options, restricted stock
units, and performance-based restricted stock units.
(3)
Loss (gain) on change in fair value of contingent earnout shares
represents a non-cash fair value adjustment at each reporting
period end related to the value of these contingent shares. Upon
achieving such contingency, shares of Class A-2 common stock
convert to Class A-1 common stock resulting in a non-cash
settlement of the obligation.
(4)
Other expenses, net 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, and (iii) other
non-recurring expenses.
(5)
Calculated by excluding the impact of the non-GAAP adjustments
from the current period tax provision calculations.
(6)
Emerging markets consist of the results, on an Adjusted EBITDA
basis, for non-core jurisdictions where our operations are
developing. Markets are no longer considered emerging when we have
installed or acquired at least 500 gaming terminals in the
jurisdiction, or when 24 months have elapsed from the date we first
install or acquire gaming terminals in the jurisdiction, whichever
occurs first. We currently view Nebraska, Iowa and Pennsylvania as
emerging markets. Prior to July 2022, Georgia was considered an
emerging market.

About Accel
Accel believes it is the leading distributed gaming operator in
the United States on an Adjusted EBITDA basis, and a preferred
partner for local business owners in the markets Accel serves.
Accel’s business consists of the installation, maintenance and
operation of gaming terminals, redemption devices that disburse
winnings and contain automated teller machine (“ATM”)
functionality, and other amusement devices in authorized non-casino
locations such as restaurants, bars, taverns, convenience stores,
liquor stores, truck stops, and grocery stores.
Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains forward-looking statements within
the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended. All statements, other than statements of historical fact,
contained in this press release are forward-looking statements,
including, but not limited to, any statements regarding our
estimates of number of gaming terminals, locations, revenues,
Adjusted EBITDA and capital expenditures. The words “predict,”
“estimated,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “will,” “would,” “continue,”
and similar expressions or the negatives thereof are intended to
identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking
statements represent our current reasonable expectations and
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors
that may cause our actual results, performance and achievements, or
industry results, to be materially different from any future
results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such
forward-looking statements. 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: Accel's ability to
successfully integrate its business with the business of Century
and realize the full benefits of the Century acquisition; Accel’s
ability to operate in existing markets or expand into new
jurisdictions; Accel’s ability to manage its growth effectively;
Accel’s ability to offer new and innovative products and services
that fulfill the needs of location partners and create strong and
sustained player appeal; Accel’s 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’s future results of operations by the slow growth
in demand for gaming terminals and by the slow growth of new gaming
jurisdictions; Accel’s heavy dependency on its ability to win,
maintain and renew contracts with location partners; unfavorable
macroeconomic conditions or decreased discretionary spending due to
other factors such as increased interest rates, increased
inflation, actual or perceived instability in the U.S. and global
banking systems, high fuel rates, recessions, epidemics or other
public health issues (including COVID-19 and its variant strains),
terrorist activity or threat thereof, civil unrest or other
macroeconomic or political uncertainties, that could adversely
affect Accel’s business, results of operations, cash flows and
financial conditions and other risks and uncertainties indicated
from time to time in documents filed or to be filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
Accordingly, 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. The
forward-looking statements contained in this press release are
based on our current expectations and beliefs concerning future
developments and their potential effects on Accel. These
forward-looking statements involve a number of risks, uncertainties
(some of which are beyond our control), or other assumptions that
may cause actual results or performance to be materially different
from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not
limited to, those factors described in the section entitled “Risk
Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by Accel with the
SEC, as well as Accel’s other filings with the SEC. Except as
required by law, we do not undertake publicly to update or revise
these statements, even if experience or future changes make it
clear that any projected results expressed in this or other press
releases or future quarterly reports, or company statements will
not be realized. In addition, the inclusion of any statement in
this press release does not constitute an admission by us that the
events or circumstances described in such statement are material.
We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these
cautionary statements. In addition, the industry in which we
operate is subject to a high degree of uncertainty and risk due to
a variety of factors including those described in the section
entitled “Risk Factors” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by
Accel with the SEC, as well as Accel’s other filings with the SEC.
These and other factors could cause our results to differ
materially from those expressed in this press release.
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, Adjusted net income, and Net Debt. Adjusted EBITDA,
Adjusted net income, and Net Debt are non-GAAP financial measures
and are key metrics used to monitor ongoing core operations.
Management of Accel believes Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income,
and Net Debt enhance the understanding of Accel’s underlying
drivers of profitability and trends in Accel’s 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, represents certain nonrecurring items that
are unrelated to core performance, or excludes non-core operations.
Management of Accel also believes that these non-GAAP financial
measures are used by investors, analysts and other interested
parties as measures of financial performance.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Net Debt
Although Accel excludes amortization of intangible assets and
route and customer acquisition costs from Adjusted EBITDA and
Adjusted net income, Accel believes that it is important for
investors to understand that these route, customer and other
intangible assets contribute to revenue generation. Any future
acquisitions may result in amortization of intangible assets and
route and customer acquisition costs.
Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted net income, and Net Debt are not
recognized terms under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures
exclude some, but not all, items that affect net income, and these
measures may vary among companies. These non-GAAP financial
measures are unaudited and have important limitations as an
analytical tool, should not be viewed in isolation and do not
purport to be alternatives to net income as indicators of operating
performance.
