Kimo Akiona, AGS CFO, noted that he was extremely pleased with the balance sheet deleveraging progress they had made year-to-date, as they ended the third quarter with net leverage at 4.0 times. He added that supported by the stable operating trends they continued to observe within the business, he remained confident in their ability to deliver on their year-end net leverage target of less than 4.0 times and looked forward to further reducing leverage in the years ahead.
