(1)  The guidance figures in the tables above present the guidance provided on August 1, 2018 for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

(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, amortization of debt issuance costs, bond premiums and original issuance discounts, other depreciation, amortization of land rights, straight-line rent adjustments, direct financing lease adjustments, losses on debt extinguishment and retirement costs, 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, the amortization of land rights, losses on debt extinguishment and retirement costs.

Chief Executive Officer, Peter M. Carlino, commented “While our real estate portfolio continued to perform as expected during the quarter, we remained focused on the execution of our previously announced acquisitions.  On September 26, 2018 we completed a very successful $1.1 billion note offering, with the benefit of our recently achieved investment grade credit rating.  On October 1, 2018 we announced the completion of our acquisition of the real property assets of Tropicana Entertainment Inc. (“Tropicana”) and on October 15, 2018 we announced the completion of the transactions related to the acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: PNK) by Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN).  In aggregate these transactions increased our annual real estate income by approximately $155 million, while expanding and diversifying our geographic

1



footprint and tenant roster.  These transactions are immediately accretive as demonstrated by our announcement on October 15, 2018 of our fourth quarter dividend of $0.68 per common share, which is an 8% increase from the prior quarter.”

Mr. Carlino continued, “Today we are happy to celebrate the five year anniversary of our spin from PENN and reflect on our substantial accomplishments.  We have completed transactions worth approximately $6.8 billion, growing our real estate revenue by over $580 million annually and increasing our dividend by 31% since our first quarter as a REIT.  In the process our portfolio has grown from 20 assets in 12 states to 46 assets in 16 states and we have expanded from one tenant to four tenants.  To fund these acquisitions, we have successfully issued approximately 90 million shares of common stock and completed $3.5 billion in note offerings.  Notably, we have achieved all this with a commitment to accretion and stability.  In the next five years, we anticipate building upon our success with further opportunities to grow our business and create value for shareholders.”

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

Income from rental activities had an unfavorable variance of $0.5 million, primarily due to performance at PENN's Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo; and
Net interest had an unfavorable variance of $0.5 million as the Company took advantage of favorable long-term interest rates prior to closing on its acquisitions.

Portfolio Update
 
GLPI owns over 4,300 acres of land and approximately 15 million square feet of building space, which was 100% occupied as of September 30, 2018. At the end of the third quarter of 2018, the Company owned the real estate associated with 38 casino facilities and leases 20 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., (collectively, the “TRS Properties”).

Capital maintenance expenditures for the Company were $1.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018.

Balance Sheet Update
 
The Company had $1,162.8 million of unrestricted cash and $5.4 billion in total debt at September 30, 2018.  On September 26, 2018, the Company issued $1,100.0 million of notes. The net proceeds from the sale of the notes together with $386.0 million drawn on its revolver were used during October 2018 to (i) finance GLPI’s acquisition of the real property assets of Plainridge Park Casino from PENN and its issuance of a secured mortgage loan to Boyd Gaming Corporation (NASDAQ: BYD) in connection with BYD’s acquisition of the real property assets of Belterra Park Gaming & Entertainment Center, (ii) finance GLPI’s acquisition of substantially all the real property assets of five gaming facilities owned by Tropicana and its issuance of a mortgage loan to Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: ERI) in connection with ERI’s acquisition of the real property assets of Lumière Place, and (iii) pay the estimated transaction fees and expenses associated with the transactions.

The Company’s debt structure as of September 30, 2018 was as follows:

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, amortization of debt issuance costs, bond premiums and original issuance discounts, other depreciation, amortization of land rights, straight-line rent adjustments, direct financing lease adjustments, losses on debt extinguishment and retirement costs, 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, the amortization of land rights, losses on debt extinguishment and retirement costs.

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.
