(1)  The guidance figures in the tables above present the guidance provided on November 8, 2016, for the three months and full year ended December 31, 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.

Chief Executive Officer, Peter M. Carlino, commented, “2016 was a transformative year for Gaming and Leisure Properties highlighted by the acquisition of 14 properties from Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: PNK), as well as the real property of the Meadows Racetrack and Casino (“the Meadows”), totaling over $5 billion of real estate.  The 2016 acquisitions will result in over $400 million of cash rent on a full year basis, which provides additional stability to our dividend while also diversifying our tenant base and geographic market exposure.”
        
Mr. Carlino continued, “Our fourth quarter and full year 2016 results are representative of the stable, predictable cash flows our assets produce. Furthermore, our continued efforts to strengthen and enhance our geographically diverse, robust platform of
regional gaming properties continues to contribute to our enhanced results.  Moving into 2017 and beyond, we remain focused on growth and will continue evaluating strategic opportunities in accordance with our disciplined approach to acquisitions.  We believe our deep industry knowledge, favorable gaming fundamentals, strong and diversified portfolio of best-in-class assets and leverage profile, position us well to provide a stable dividend and increase long-term shareholder value.”

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

Income from rental activities had an unfavorable variance of $0.5 million, due to performance at Penn National Gaming, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: PENN) Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo;
Results from the TRS properties were favorable to guidance by $1.5 million due to revenue improvements post- flooding at Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge; and
Corporate expenses were approximately $1.8 million less than guidance primarily due to lower than anticipated legal expenses.

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 over 4,300 acres of land and approximately 15 million square feet of building space, which was 100% occupied as of December 31, 2016. At the end of the fourth 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 $1.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016.

Balance Sheet Update
 
The Company had $36.6 million of unrestricted cash and $4.7 billion in total debt, including $1.1 billion of debt outstanding under its unsecured credit facility term loans and $165.0 million outstanding under its unsecured credit facility revolver at December 31, 2016.  The Company’s debt structure as of December 31, 2016 was as follows:

Financing

Through December 31, 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 $45.6 million). The Company used the net proceeds from the ATM Program to partially fund its acquisition of the Meadow's real estate assets and did not issue any shares during the fourth quarter.

Dividends
 
On November 4, 2016, the Company’s Board of Directors declared the fourth quarter dividend.  Shareholders of record on December 5, 2016 received $0.60 per common share, which was paid on December 16, 2016.  On February 1, 2017, the Company declared its first quarter 2017 dividend of $0.62 per common share, payable on March 24, 2017 to shareholders of record on March 13, 2017.

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.

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 REIT for United States federal income tax purposes commencing with the 2014 taxable year and is the first gaming-focused REIT in North America.
