(1)  The guidance figures in the tables above present the guidance provided on April 27, 2017, for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

(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, “Our business model promotes stability through long-term master leases with large fixed components and highly respected operators with market-leading assets.  With this structure, as demonstrated by our second quarter results, we are able to consistently deliver reliable cash flow for our investors. For the quarter, Adjusted EBITDA exceeded guidance primarily as the result of solid performance at our TRS Properties, Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and Hollywood Casino Perryville, as well as incremental rent from Hollywood Casino Toledo, which is managed by Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN).”

Mr. Carlino continued, “On May 1, 2017, we completed the acquisition of the Bally’s Casino Tunica and Resorts Casino Tunica (“Tunica Properties”) for $82.9 million.  These assets were added to the master lease with PENN and will generate $9.0 million of incremental annual rent.  The accretive Tunica Properties acquisition along with the addition of an annual $5.8 million escalator on the Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: PNK) master lease resulted in our Board deciding to increase

1



our quarterly dividend to $0.63 per share.  Our quarterly dividend has grown at a compounded annual rate of 6.6% in the last three years, with five dividend increases during that period.”

“Additionally during the quarter, we completed funding the equity portion of The Meadows Casino and Tunica Properties acquisitions through our existing ATM program. GLPI sold 3,864,872 shares of common stock with an average price of $36.22. This equity transaction demonstrates our focus on accretive growth while responsively managing our balance sheet for long-term stability and potential future acquisitions.”

The Company’s second quarter 2017 net income, AFFO and Adjusted EBIDA as compared to its guidance were primarily impacted by the following:

Income from rental activities had a favorable variance of $0.4 million, primarily due to incremental rent from Hollywood Casino Toledo;
Results from the TRS Properties were favorable to guidance by $0.5 million due to higher performance; and
Finalization of the Tunica Properties transaction.


Portfolio Update
 
GLPI owns over 4,400 acres of land and approximately 15 million square feet of building space, which was 100% occupied as of June 30, 2017. At the end of the second quarter of 2017, 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 at the TRS Properties were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017.

The Company had $29.5 million of unrestricted cash and $4.5 billion in total debt, including $1.1 billion of debt outstanding under its unsecured credit facility term loans and $15.0 million outstanding under its unsecured credit facility revolver at June 30, 2017.  The Company’s debt structure as of June 30, 2017 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, 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.
