In addressing the company's second-quarter financial performance, AGS President and CEO David Lopez said: "Our second quarter results reflect the growing returns we are realizing as a result of the significant investments made into our R&D, sales, and product management teams over the past 24 months.

“These investments have accelerated the operating momentum we are seeing within the business, as reflected by the material year-over-year growth in our reported Q2 2022 net revenues, net income and adjusted EBITDA."

Lopez continued: "Despite swirling uncertainty over the health of the consumer and the direction of the global economy, we have been encouraged by the incredible consistency demonstrated within our business through July.

"Ultimately, our recurring-revenue focused business model and strong liquidity position fortify the underlying resiliency within our business."
