(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.

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

(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.  The Company’s debt structure at September 30, 2015 was as follows:

Guidance
 
The table below sets forth current guidance targets for financial results for the 2015 fourth quarter and full year, based on the following assumptions:

Reported rental income of approximately $444.8 million for the year and $111.1 million for the fourth quarter, consisting of:

Total cash rental receipts of approximately $447.2 million for the year and $111.7 million for the fourth quarter, consisting of approximately $436.4 million for the year and $109.0 million for the fourth quarter from PENN and approximately $14.0 million for the year and $3.5 million for the fourth quarter from Casino Queen, reduced by approximately $3.2 million for the year and $0.8 million for the fourth quarter of non-assigned land lease payments made by PENN;

Straight-line rent, which defers cash received and decreases rental income, of approximately $55.8 million for the year and $14.0 million for the fourth quarter;

Property taxes paid by tenants, which are recognized as rental income, of approximately $53.4 million for the year and $13.4 million for the fourth quarter;

Incremental escalator on the PENN building rent component anticipated to be effective November 1, 2015, which increases 2015 annual rent by $0.8 million;

TRS EBITDA of approximately $36.0 million for the year and $7.4 million for the fourth quarter capital maintenance expenditures of approximately $3.4 million for the year and $1.2 million for the fourth quarter;

Capital project expenditures of approximately $14.9 million for the year and $1.2 million for the fourth quarter;
 
Blended income tax rate at the TRS entities of 40%;
 
LIBOR is based on the forward yield curve;
 
Real estate depreciation of approximately $95.5 million for the year and $23.8 million in the fourth quarter;
 
Non-real estate depreciation of approximately $14.2 million for the year and $3.3 million in the fourth quarter;

Equity-related employee compensation affecting EBITDA includes the following:
 
Expense of approximately $4.2 million for the year and $1.1 million for the fourth quarter related to cash-settled equity compensation awards issued pre-spin, which are fully vested by the first quarter of 2017;
 
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;
 
Equity-related employee compensation that does not affect EBITDA includes non-cash expense of approximately $16.8 million for the year and $4.1 million for the fourth quarter for amortization of stock options issued pre-spin and the issuance of new restricted stock awards;
 
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;
 

3



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.
