(1)  The guidance figures in the tables above present the guidance provided on February 4, 2016, for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

(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.

Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. Chief Executive Officer, Peter M. Carlino commented, “We are pleased with both our first quarter results, which once again show the stability of our geographically diverse portfolio of regional gaming assets, as well as the meaningful progress we have made in our effort to complete the acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment’s (NASDAQ: PNK) real estate assets. During the first quarter, shareholders of both companies resoundingly approved the transaction, and we obtained necessary regulatory approvals in Mississippi, Iowa, Indiana, Nevada, Missouri and Louisiana. Separately, we also reached an agreement with PNK to become the operator for the Meadows Racetrack and Casino (the “Meadows”) in Pennsylvania, and are pleased to partner with their high quality organization in an additional capacity.”

Mr. Carlino continued, “After the PNK acquisition closes, we will have created a triple-net REIT industry leader and our portfolio will be significantly more diversified than it was at the time of our spin. Looking forward, we believe this increase in size enhances a significant competitive advantage, and the increased diversity improves the stability of our cash flows and further protects us from variabilities in regional gaming. We also believe the combination of our deep knowledge of the gaming sector and our REIT

status remain a primary competitive advantage to opportunistically expand the portfolio which will result in meaningful value creation and growing, dependable dividend income for our shareholders.”

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

Results from the TRS properties were unfavorable to guidance by $0.7 million;
Income from rental activities was favorable to guidance by $1.0 million as Penn National Gaming, Inc.’s (“PENN”) Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo outperformed;
Corporate expenses were approximately $0.9 million higher than guidance primarily due to an additional bonus accrual and expenses associated with completing the Meadows operator agreement.

In addition AFFO was impacted by $0.6 million of favorable capital maintenance expenditures for the quarter as compared to guidance.

Portfolio Update
 
GLPI owns approximately 3,106 acres of land and 7.2 million square feet of building space, which was 100% occupied as of March 31, 2016. At the end of the first quarter of 2016, 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.).

Capital project expenditures, which totaled $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and capital maintenance expenditures at the TRS properties were $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Due to the timing of this earnings release we will report our tenant rent coverage from PENN after their earnings release on April 28, 2016.

Financing Update

We completed an offering of 28.75 million shares at $30.00 which was very well received in the market as the offering was upsized from 19.0 million shares. The price was a 0.3% premium to the file offer price. We had over 170 institutional investors interested in the offer and included four of the top ten REIT dedicated funds as well as significant support from existing shareholders. Additionally, we initiated a successful bond offering, which settles on April 28, 2016, with two tranches; 2021 maturity of $400.0 million at 4.375% and 2026 maturity of $975.0 million at 5.375%. We are hopeful that this is the beginning of more REIT dedicated funds finding our company to be a safe, secure and compelling investment. With the equity offering we expecting to be on a pro forma basis under 5.5 times leveraged by the end of 2016.

Dividends
 
On January 29, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors declared the first quarter dividend.  Shareholders of record on February 22, 2016 received $0.56 per common share, which was paid on March 25, 2016.  On April 25, 2016, the Company declared its second quarter 2016 dividend of $0.56 per common share, payable on June 17, 2016 to shareholders of record on June 2, 2016. Expecting that the PNK transaction will close on April 28, 2016 the second quarter dividend is consistent with the first quarter. The Company believes the third quarter dividend will increase to $0.60.

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.

About Gaming and Leisure Properties

GLPI is engaged in the business of acquiring, financing, and owning real estate property to be leased to gaming operators in triple-net lease arrangements, pursuant to which the tenant is responsible for all facility maintenance, insurance required in connection with the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties, taxes levied on or with respect to the leased properties and all utilities and other services necessary or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties. GLPI expects to grow its portfolio by pursuing opportunities to acquire additional gaming facilities to lease to gaming operators. GLPI also intends to diversify its portfolio over time, including by acquiring properties outside the gaming industry to lease to third parties. GLPI elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for United States federal income tax purposes commencing with the 2014 taxable year and is the first gaming-focused REIT.
