(1)  The guidance figures in the tables above present the guidance provided on April 25, 2018 for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

(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, direct financing lease adjustments, losses on debt extinguishment and retirement costs, 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, the amortization of land rights, losses on debt extinguishment and retirement costs.

Chief Executive Officer, Peter M. Carlino, commented “The second quarter was a period of significant progress for the Company. We have addressed all 2018 debt maturities through our new debt financing transactions.  We successfully refinanced the 2018 notes and repaid our Term Loan A as well as a portion of our Term Loan A-1 with a new $1.0 billion issuance of 7 year and 10 year notes at an attractive blended interest rate of 5.5%.  We now have a well-laddered maturity schedule with no more than $1.0 billion of debt maturing in any calendar year with no maturities until November 2020.  In addition, we amended our revolving credit facility to both extend the maturity to 2023 and increase the capacity to $1.1 billion.  The new revolver will afford us substantial flexibility for financing future acquisitions while also significantly reducing our refinancing risk.  We believe these transactions position the Company with a stable capital structure and the flexibility to grow.”
“Additionally, during the quarter, the Company continued to work towards closing our previously announced transactions.  We expect the combination of Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN) and Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: PNK) to be completed in the fourth quarter and the acquisition of the Tropicana Entertainment Inc. (“Tropicana”) assets to be

1



completed by the end of the year.  The transactions will add eight new properties to our portfolio with annual rent of approximately $156 million at a very attractive blended cap rate of 10.2%.  Notably, the transactions will add two highly respected gaming operators, Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (NASDAQ: ERI) and Boyd Gaming Corporation (NASDAQ: BYD), as meaningful tenants and valued partners.  We continue to expect these transactions to increase our dividend by approximately 8% to 10%.”

“Finally, our business continues to operate with significant stability and predictability.  Cash rent earned in the quarter was in line with our expectations and EBITDA modestly exceeded guidance.  While the focus in the second quarter was largely on the balance sheet transactions and pending acquisitions, we are pleased to recognize that the underlying business of our tenants is healthy and our portfolio of existing assets is performing well.”

The Company's second quarter net income as compared to guidance was primarily impacted by the following variances:

Corporate overhead had an unfavorable variance of $9.6 million due to the retirement of our former Chief Financial Officer offset by a favorable variance of $1.0 million relating to lower than anticipated legal and outside service expense;
Losses on debt extinguishment had an unfavorable variance of $3.5 million; and
Net interest had an unfavorable variance of $1.1 million due to the refinancing of 2018 debt maturities.

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, 2018. At the end of the second quarter of 2018, 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 for the Company were $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Balance Sheet Update
 
The Company had $144.5 million of unrestricted cash and $4.5 billion in total debt at June 30, 2018.  The increase in our cash position as compared to prior periods is a result of the recent financing transactions and the call for redemption of the remaining 4.375% Notes due 2018 which will be redeemed in August 2018. The Company’s debt structure as of June 30, 2018 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, direct financing lease adjustments, losses on debt extinguishment and retirement costs, 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, the amortization of land rights, losses on debt extinguishment and retirement costs.

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.
