Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 4, 2026
Q2 FY26
TL;DR. Accel reported a record Q2 with revenue up 10% YoY to $368M, Adjusted EBITDA up 11% to $59M, and net income up 72% to $13M, while developing markets (Nebraska, Georgia) and Nevada accelerated and Chicago locations are expected to begin operating in the coming weeks; near-term results were weighed by a $5M non-cash earnout fair-value loss and a $2.5M loss on the rationalization of legacy gaming equipment.
Bullish
- + Record Q2 revenue of $368M, up 10% YoY, with net income up 72% to $13M.
- + Record Adjusted EBITDA of $59M, up 11% YoY.
- + Illinois revenue ex-Fairmount up 6% YoY on 9% growth in average location hold per day to $992 despite lower location/terminal counts.
- + Chicago video gaming expected to begin operating in the coming weeks, with Accel approved for 17 of 39 (~44%) of establishments licensed to date.
- + Fairmount Park delivered its highest quarterly gross profit since acquisition, with table games gaining traction and a second racing season underway.
Bearish
- − Q2 net income included a ~$2.5M non-cash loss on the rationalization of older gaming equipment in warehouses.
- − Nevada location hold per day fell 15.8% YoY to $660 as the convenience-store mix expanded faster than higher-hold participation bars.
