(1)  The guidance figures in the tables above present the guidance provided on July 30, 2015, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, restated for the straight-line rent adjustments.
(2)  Adjusted EBITDA is net income excluding interest, taxes on income, depreciation, (gains) or losses from sales of property, stock based compensation expense and straight-line rent adjustments.

(4)  Adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) is FFO, excluding stock based compensation expense, debt issuance costs amortization, other depreciation and straight-line rent adjustments, reduced by capital maintenance expenditures.

The Company's third quarter 2015 results from rental activities and its property results in the TRS were favorable to guidance by $0.3 million each. Corporate expenses were approximately $0.7 million lower than guidance primarily due to lower cash-settled equity compensation expense. In addition, affecting net income is a $1.6 million charge for the bridge financing relating to the Pinnacle transaction.

Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. Chief Executive Officer, Peter M. Carlino commented, "Since our listing only two years ago, we have successfully created shareholder value through the stability and growth of our cashflows. Our third quarter results reflect the consistency of these cashflows and the security of our triple-net lease structure wherein over 80% of our rental income is fixed. Currently, we are focused on closing our previously announced acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment's (NYSE:PNK) real estate assets which we expect to occur in the first quarter of 2016. This transaction will benefit shareholders by increasing our rental income, as well as increasing our size, tenant and geographic diversity. As a management team, we remain highly aligned with our shareholders and we are more excited than ever for the future."

As described in the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by the Company on October 22, 2015, the Company is restating its consolidated financial statements for the percentage rent received from Penn National Gaming which was known at the lease commencement date and should have been recorded on a straight-line basis over the initial non-cancelable lease term and any reasonably assured renewals terms rather than recognized as received. All prior periods in this press release have been restated for this adjustment, and the Company has set a target date of November 9, 2015 to file its amended financial statements with the SEC.

Portfolio Update

GLPI owns approximately 3,111 acres of land and 7.2 million square feet of building space, which was 100% occupied as of September 30, 2015. At the end of the third quarter of 2015, the Company owned the real estate associated with 21 casino facilities and leases 18 of these facilities to PENN 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.).

In November 2013, the Company entered into a triple-net lease with PENN, in which substantially all of PENN's former real property assets were leased back to PENN (the "Master Lease"). We currently estimate PENN's rent coverage ratio to be 1:85:1.

Capital project expenditures, which totaled $2.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015, primarily related to the Corporate headquarters and completion of Dayton and Youngstown. Capital maintenance expenditures at the TRS properties were $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015.

Balance Sheet Update

The Company had $42.7 million of unrestricted cash on hand and $2.5 billion in total debt, including $300.0 million of debt outstanding under its unsecured credit facility term loan and $190.0 million outstanding under its unsecured credit facility revolver at September 30, 2015.

    • Expense of approximately $11.3 million for the year and $2.6 million for the fourth quarter for payments in lieu of dividends on vested stock options issued pre-spin, which are expected to be paid through October 31, 2016;

  • Interest expense includes approximately $8.1 million for the year and $2.0 million for the fourth quarter of debt issuance costs amortization for existing debt and $4.2 million for the year and $2.5 million for the fourth quarter for amortization of fees for the bridge loan related to the Pinnacle transaction;
  • For the purpose of the dividend calculation, AFFO is reduced by approximately $7.4 million for the full year and $1.7 million for the fourth quarter prior to calculation of the dividend to account for dividends on shares that will be outstanding after options held by PENN employees are exercised;
  • The basic share count is approximately 114.5 million shares for the year and 115.4 million shares for the fourth quarter and the fully diluted share count is approximately 119.0 million shares for the year and 119.3 million shares for the fourth quarter; and

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. 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.

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 and straight-line rent 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 and straight-line rent adjustments.

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.

YOUR CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS

If you are a California resident, the California Consumer Protection Act (the “CCPA”) provides you with additional rights regarding our use of your personal information. Among other rights under the CCPA, you may have the right to request that we: (i) disclose to you any personal information that we have about you; (ii) delete personal information that we have about you (subject to certain exceptions); or (iii) not “sell” your information to a third party (excluding qualified service providers), as that term is interpreted under the CCPA. If you are a California resident, you can submit such requests to us via the contact information provided below and we will complete the request within the timeframe permitted by law. It is unlawful for us to discriminate against you because you exercised any of your rights under the CCPA. We do not offer financial incentives in return for the collection or use of your personal information.

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.
