(1) The guidance figures in the tables above present the guidance provided on August 9, 2016, for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

(2) Funds from operations ("FFO") is net income, excluding (gains) or losses from sales of property and real estate depreciation as defined by NAREIT.

(3) Adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") is FFO, excluding stock based compensation expense, debt issuance costs amortization, other depreciation, amortization of land rights, straight-line rent adjustments and direct financing lease adjustments, reduced by capital maintenance expenditures.

(4) Adjusted EBITDA is net income excluding interest, taxes on income, depreciation, (gains) or losses from sales of property, stock based compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments, direct financing lease adjustments and the amortization of land rights.

Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. Chief Executive Officer, Peter M. Carlino commented, "Our diverse, national portfolio of triple-net gaming assets continues to provide steady, predictable cash flows, as evidenced by our third quarter results. This was the first full quarter that we owned the 14 properties acquired from Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ:PNK) and we immediately benefited from these additional assets as our increased scale, combined with the ongoing stability of the regional gaming market, led to revenue growth of approximately 58% over the third quarter of 2015. Also during the quarter we added yet another high quality asset to our portfolio with the acquisition of the Meadows Racetrack and Casino ("the Meadows") real estate assets, while PNK purchased the operating assets and leased the Meadows real property assets under a separate triple-net lease. The total cost of the Meadows was $327.8 million which includes all fees and taxes. Post quarter-end, we committed to provide a new unsecured loan of up to $13.0 million to an affiliate of Casino Queen for their purchase of the Lady Luck Casino in Marquette, Iowa. At the time of funding of the new loan, Casino Queen will pay in full the remaining principal of their existing secured loan to the Company in the amount of $26.7 million. Looking ahead, we continue to pursue incremental acquisitions as our balance sheet naturally deleverages further, and while transaction activity in the regional gaming space remains lumpy, we believe there are opportunities for us to utilize our industry knowledge and relationships to create significant additional value. In the meantime, GLPI offers a stable, well supported dividend for investors combined with attractive long-term growth prospects. We remain on track to reach our stated goal of total company leverage of under 5.5 times Adjusted EBITDA, pro forma for a full year impact of both PNK and the Meadows, by year-end."

The Company's third quarter 2016 net income as compared to its guidance was impacted by the following:

  • Guidance did not include the Meadows closing, which caused a favorable variance to rental income of $1.6 million, offset by straight-line rent adjustments of $0.6 million and unfavorable variances to interest of $0.4 million and depreciation of $0.3 million;
  • Income from rental activities also had an unfavorable variance of $0.6 million, due to lower performance at Penn National Gaming, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:PENN) Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo;
  • Results from the TRS properties were unfavorable to guidance by $0.3 million;
  • Corporate expenses were approximately $0.8 million less than guidance primarily due to lower than anticipated legal expenses of $1.1 million, offset by a $0.3 million contribution to support our employees impacted by flooding in Baton Rouge, Louisiana;
  • Gain on sales of property was favorable to guidance by $0.4 million, primarily due to the sale of a parcel of land at the M Resort operated by PENN.

In addition, AFFO was impacted by $0.9 million of favorable capital maintenance expenditures for the quarter as compared to guidance.

Portfolio Update

GLPI owns approximately 4,350 acres of land and 15.1 million square feet of building space, which was 100% occupied as of September 30, 2016. At the end of the third quarter of 2016, the Company owned the real estate associated with 36 casino facilities and leases 18 of these facilities to PENN, 15 of these facilities to PNK and one to Casino Queen in East St. Louis, Illinois. Two of the gaming facilities, located in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Perryville, Maryland, are owned and operated by a subsidiary of GLPI (GLP Holdings, Inc.) (the "TRS properties").

Capital maintenance expenditures at the TRS properties were $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Balance Sheet Update

The Company had $25.4 million of unrestricted cash on hand and $4.7 billion in total debt, including $1,125.0 million of debt outstanding under its unsecured credit facility term loans and $165.0 million outstanding under its unsecured credit facility revolver at September 30, 2016.

Financing
Through September 30, 2016, GLPI sold approximately 1.3 million shares of its common stock at an average price of  $35.00 per share under its at the market ("ATM") program, which generated gross proceeds of approximately $46.3 million (net proceeds of approximately $45.7 million). The Company used the net proceeds from ATM Program to partially fund its acquisition of the Meadow's real estate assets.

Dividends

On August 3, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors declared the third quarter dividend. Shareholders of record on September 12, 2016 received $0.60 per common share, which was paid on September 23, 2016. On November 4, 2016, the Company declared its fourth quarter 2016 dividend of $0.60 per common share, payable on December 16, 2016 to shareholders of record on December 5, 2016.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") and Adjusted EBITDA, which are detailed in the reconciliation tables that accompany this release, are used by the Company as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company's peers and as internal measures of business operating performance, which is used for a bonus metric. The Company believes FFO, AFFO, and Adjusted EBITDA provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of the Company's current business. This is especially true since these measures exclude real estate depreciation, and we believe that real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. In addition, in order for the Company to qualify as a REIT, it must distribute 90% of its REIT taxable income annually. The Company adjusts AFFO accordingly to provide our investors an estimate of taxable income for this distribution requirement. Direct financing lease adjustments represent the portion of cash rent we receive from tenants that is applied against our lease receivable and thus not recorded as revenue and the amortization of land rights represents the non-cash amortization of the value assigned to the Company's assumed ground leases.

FFO, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures, that are considered a supplemental measure for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding (gains) or losses from sales of property and real estate depreciation. We have defined AFFO as FFO excluding stock based compensation expense, debt issuance costs amortization, other depreciation, amortization of land rights, straight-line rent adjustments and direct financing lease adjustments, reduced by capital maintenance expenditures. Finally, we have defined Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding interest, taxes on income, depreciation, (gains) or losses from sales of property, stock based compensation expense, straight-line rent adjustments, direct financing lease adjustments and the amortization of land rights.

FFO, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP. Because certain companies do not calculate FFO, AFFO, and Adjusted EBITDA in the same way and certain other companies may not perform such calculation, those measures as used by other companies may not be consistent with the way the Company calculates such measures and should not be considered as alternative measures of operating profit or net income. The Company's presentation of these measures does not replace the presentation of the Company's financial results in accordance with GAAP.

Responsible Gaming

PROMOTING RESPONSIBLE GAMING IS A CORE VALUE OF GAMING AND LEISURE PROPERTIES, INC.

Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc. (“GLPI”) wants all of our casinos’ customers to have fun and to enjoy the casinos safely. We are committed to a policy of responsible gaming. While we recognize that the overwhelming majority of customers at our casinos enjoy our various forms of gambling and non-gambling amenities responsibly, we also understand that there is a small proportion of the population who do not.

To protect them, and others affected by their behavior, our casinos have established a set of policies and guidelines modeled after the American Gaming Association’s Code of Conduct for Responsible Gaming. The “Code” establishes minimum standards that address problem gambling, underage gambling, improper use of alcohol, responsible marketing and advertising and the prevention of unattended minors.

Our casinos use a variety of approaches to promote Responsible Gaming including employee training programs, customer awareness campaigns, self-exclusion and financial restriction programs, written procedures for recognizing and managing these issues, use of outside experts, and ongoing monitoring and review to gauge the effectiveness of these programs.

RECOGNIZING THE PROBLEM

It is widely believed that 1-2% of all gamblers are compulsive and that most experience varying degrees of depression and problems in their lives. Participating in games of chance becomes a self-medicating distraction, providing only temporary relief from underlying problems associated with compulsive behavior.

HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOU HAVE A GAMBLING PROBLEM?

Review the following questions:

  • You have often gambled longer than you had planned.
  • You have often gambled until your last dollar was gone.
  • Thoughts of gambling have caused you to lose sleep.
  • You have used your income or savings to gamble while letting bills go unpaid.
  • You have made repeated, unsuccessful attempts to stop gambling.
  • You have broken the law or considered breaking the law to finance your gambling.
  • You have borrowed money to finance your gambling.
  • You have felt depressed or suicidal because of your gambling losses.
  • You have been remorseful after gambling.
  • You have gambled to get money to meet your financial obligations.

We value your trust and respect your confidentiality. As a general practice we do not provide any online information, or any information gathered through forms, applications or other means to outside third parties, unless otherwise designated. We do not sell or rent any information gathered online, or in individual property players’ clubs, to any outside organization.

This Privacy Policy will tell you what information we collect about you and about your use of the websites and services. We urge you to read this Privacy Policy carefully.
