Our asset-light business model was key to allowing us to end the year stronger than ever, and execute on our growth plans to secure additional scale, as illustrated by our recent acquisition of American Video Gaming. As a result of these efforts we have begun 2021 with a strong tailwind, achieving the highest revenue month in our history in February. We\u2019re confident we are well-positioned to continue this success as the market recovers and we remain focused on delivering a safe, yet comfortable gaming experience for our players.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and Other Data<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Three Months Ended \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n Year Ended (in thousands)<\/i><\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2020<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2019<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2020<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n 2019<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n (As Restated)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n (As Restated)<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nTotal net revenues\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n74,414\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n122,812\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n316,352\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n$\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n428,696\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nOperating loss\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(11,966)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(5,657)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(24,679)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n13,336\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nLoss before income taxes\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(13,650)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(19,976)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(29,902)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(10,502)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nNet loss\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(10,411)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(22,425)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(12,984)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(15,701)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n Other Financial Data:<\/b><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA(1)<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n4,708\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n20,795\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n33,901\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n79,594\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \nAdjusted net (loss) income(2)<\/sup><\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n(4,134)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n1,300\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n5,776\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n22,695\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \n(1)\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n \nAdjusted EBITDA is defined as net (loss) income plus amortization of route and customer acquisition costs and location contracts acquired; stock-based compensation expense; (gain) loss on change in fair value of contingent earnout A-2 shares; other expenses, net; tax effect of adjustments; depreciation and amortization of property and equipment; interest expense; emerging markets; and provision for income taxes.

Then divide the calculated amount by the number of operating days in such period. Excluding the Grand River Jackpot acquisition, location hold-per-day was $649 and $637 for the three months and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. Location hold-per-day for the year ended December 31, 2020 is computed based on 217-eligible days of gaming (excludes 148 non-gaming days due to the IGB mandated COVID-19

acquisition costs consist of upfront cash payments and future cash payments to third-party sales agents to acquire the licensed video gaming establishments that are not connected with a business combination. Accel amortizes 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 Accel does 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 10 years. \u201cAmortization of route and customer acquisition costs and location contracts acquired\u201d aggregates the non-cash amortization charges relating to upfront route and customer acquisition cost payments and location contracts acquired.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(2) Stock-based compensation consists of options, restricted stock units and warrants.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(3) (Gain) loss on change in fair value of contingent earnout A-2 shares represents an unrealized fair value adjustment at each reporting period end related to the value of these contingent shares. Upon achieving such contingency, A-2 shares convert to A-1 common stock resulting in a non-cash settlement of the obligation.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(4) Other expenses, net consists of (i) non-cash expenses including the remeasurement of contingent consideration liabilities, (ii) non-recurring expenses relating to lobbying efforts and legal expenses in Pennsylvania and lobbying efforts in Missouri, (iii) non-recurring costs associated with COVID-19 and (iv) other non-recurring expenses.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(5) Calculated by excluding the impact of the non-GAAP adjustments from the current period tax provision calculations.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n \n(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 Accel has installed or acquired at least 500 gaming terminals in the jurisdiction, or when 24 months have elapsed from the date Accel first installs or acquires gaming terminals in the jurisdiction, whichever occurs first.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n Restatement of prior period financial statements<\/b><\/p>\n \nThe restatement reflects adjustments to correct an error related to the accounting treatment of certain earn out arrangements issued in connection with the 2019 business combination with TPG Pace Holdings Corp., a special purpose acquisition company, that were previously presented as equity. Because the number of Class A-1 common stock (the \u201ccontingent earnout shares\u201d) the holder is entitled to under the agreement are dependent, in part, upon the occurrence of a change of control, which is not an input to the fair value of a fixed for fixed contract on equity shares, the Company determined that the contingent earnout share obligation should be presented as a liability and marked to fair value each period, not equity-classified as previously presented. The Company also concluded that Class A-2 common stock issued in the transaction does not represent an increase in equity due to the fact that such shares are not entitled to dividends, voting rights, or a stake in the Company in the case of liquidation. Accordingly, the contingent earnout is now reflected as a liability at fair value on the Company\u2019s consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the change in the fair value of such liability in each period is recognized as a gain or loss in the Company\u2019s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive (loss) income. The contingent earnout liability does not constitute indebtedness of the Company and will only be satisfied, if earned, by settlement in the Company\u2019s Class A-1 common stock in a non-cash transaction. The existence of contingent earnout shares occurred as a result of the Company\u2019s merger and reverse recapitalization occurring on November 20, 2019 and did not impact any reporting periods prior to the merger and reverse recapitalization transaction.\n<\/p>\n \nThe Company also corrected certain classification errors impacting amusement revenue, ATM fees and other revenue, and cost of revenue that were previously presented net instead of gross, and certain revenue share expenses that were previously presented in general and administrative instead of cost of revenue. There is no impact to net income (loss) as a result of these reclassifications.\n<\/p>\n Conference Call<\/b><\/p>\n \n[1] Although we provide guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, we are not able to provide guidance for net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Certain elements of the composition of GAAP net income, including stock-based compensation expenses, are not predictable, making it impractical for us to provide guidance on net income or to reconcile our Adjusted EBITDA guidance to net income without unreasonable efforts. For the same reason, we are unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.\n<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n \n\u00a0\n<\/p>\n View source version on businesswire.com: <\/span>https:\/\/www.businesswire.com\/news\/home\/20210315005270\/en\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Media Contact: KEYWORDS:<\/b> United States North America Illinois<\/p>\n INDUSTRY KEYWORDS:<\/b> Electronic Games Other Entertainment Casino\/Gaming Entertainment<\/p>\n\n
