+2.1% YoY
NPAT
$52.00
-36.6% YoY
EPS
$0.66

Light & Wonder reported Q1 2026 revenue of $790M (+2.1% YoY) driven by Gaming segment growth, but net income declined 36.6% to $52M due to higher interest expense, increased restructuring costs, and elevated D&A. Adjusted EBITDA of $327M (+5.2% YoY) reflects solid operational performance, though the company faces headwinds from debt servicing costs and integration of the Grover acquisition completed in May 2025. Key points: Adjusted EBITDA grew 5.2% YoY to $327M, demonstrating underlying operational strength across segments; Gaming segment AEBITDA increased to $271M (+6.7% YoY), benefiting from gaming operations revenue growth of 38.2% to $239M; Operating cash flow of $139M in Q1 2026 reflects continued cash generation capability despite higher financing costs
