Accel Entertainment, Inc. (NYSE:ACEL) Q3 2023 Earnings Call Transcript

Andrew Rubenstein: I mean we really like some of the opportunities in Montana that we’ve started to capitalize on, and we have — we’ve been able to be successful in a few of these retail situations. And I think we’ll be able to continue down that path, to grow the business significantly. You’re looking at other states that are out there. Nebraska is growing from a very low number, but we see a very strong growth pattern in same-store sales growth there. So I think, like I said, as we move into next year, there’ll be other states that we’ve identified to pursue that we may make a stronger effort. We’re really looking hard at what we’re doing in Georgia, whether we pivot in one direction or the other. South Dakota has presented a few opportunities. So they are there. But I would tell you, Montana is the one that is most actionable right away. It may be a different conversation 6 to 9 months from now, but Montana’s the most present.

Operator: There are no more questions. I’ll pass the call back over to the management team for closing remarks.

Andrew Rubenstein: Thank you, everyone, for joining us today. We are pretty excited about what’s coming in ’24, which will spill into a very strong second half of the year and into ’25 and ’26. We appreciate you guys listening today. I want to wish everyone a safe and happy holiday season, and we’ll look forward to sharing some good news as we talk to you again in the new year. Thank you.

Operator: That concludes the conference call. Thank you for your participation. You may now disconnect your lines.
