“I am encouraged by the degree to which the operating momentum we established throughout 2021 continued into the first quarter,” said AGS President and CEO David Lopez.

“We have heavily invested in strengthening the foundation of our company over the past couple of years and are beginning to realise accelerating returns on these investments. To that end, I believe our solid first quarter performance simply foreshadows what our laser-focused organisation can accomplish in the quarters and years ahead.”
