Insights

GLPI delivered a strong Q3 with $385.3M in revenue, up 7.1% year-over-year and AFFO growth of 6.8%. The company's expansion strategy is bearing fruit through multiple significant transactions, notably the $1.585B deal with Bally's yielding an attractive 8.3% initial cash return. The portfolio diversification continues with three new assets and the Chicago development project.

The balance sheet remains robust, supporting an increased quarterly dividend of $0.76 per share. Key growth drivers include the $250M Chicago land acquisition, the $110M Ione loan facility and the completed $150M Rockford project. The successful $1.2B senior notes issuance demonstrates strong market confidence in GLPI's business model.

The strategic expansion into prime real estate markets is particularly noteworthy, with the Chicago development representing a significant foothold in the nation's third-largest metropolitan area. The blended 8.4% investment yield across new acquisitions exceeds typical REIT returns, while maintaining conservative rent coverage ratios of 2.0x-2.4x.

The demolition of the Tropicana Las Vegas property marks a pivotal transformation of a prime 35-acre Strip location, potentially unlocking substantial future value through the MLB stadium development. The company's disciplined approach to capital deployment and focus on regional gaming markets provides stability while maintaining growth potential.

Peter Carlino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GLPI, commented, "GLPI’s expansion and growth momentum continues unabated with strong third quarter financial results reflecting the consistent performance of our legacy tenant portfolio and the addition of two additional tenants earlier this year. During the quarter we also set the course for continued mid- and long-term growth through the actualization of several significant accretive transactions with Bally's which we expect will benefit comparisons in the fourth quarter and beyond. Third quarter total revenue rose 7.1% year over year to $385.3 million and AFFO grew 6.8%, highlighting the measured growth of our property portfolio, rent escalations and our discipline around liquidity and our capital structure. With our opportunistic approach to portfolio expansion, the proven long-term resiliency of our tenants’ revenue streams, and attractive rent coverage ratios across our portfolio, we expect to continue to deliver strong capital returns and yields for our shareholders. Reflecting these factors, our third quarter 2024 dividend of $0.76 per share increased from $0.73 per share in the year-ago period and $0.705 in 2022.

“Early in the third quarter we announced a $1.585 billion transaction with Bally’s Corporation (“Bally’s”) that reflects our proven, value enhancing strategy of working with our tenants to structure transactions that efficiently create and fund growth opportunities. Together with Bally’s, our teams structured a series of innovative, multi-faceted transactions that are expected to deliver an 8.3% blended initial cash yield to GLPI with conservative rent coverage. Through these transactions, GLPI adds three more assets to our existing portfolio with the addition of Bally’s Kansas City Casino and Bally’s Shreveport Casino & Hotel, and the exciting greenfield development of Bally’s permanent facility in Chicago. Last month, we completed the $250 million acquisition of the land on which Bally’s Chicago casino will be constructed. With our acquisition of the Chicago land, the prior lease was assumed by an affiliate of GLPI and amended to reflect annual rent of $20 million, representing an initial cash yield of 8.0%. Inclusive of the land, GLPI will own substantially all of the real estate and improvements related to the Chicago casino and hotel for a total investment of $1.19 billion, resulting in a blended initial cash investment yield of 8.4% with stabilized rent coverage for the lease expected to be in the range of 2.0x to 2.4x. The completion of the Chicago land purchase is a significant milestone toward the development of Bally’s Chicago, which is expected to be a must-visit destination casino resort in the heart of Chicago. We are delighted to be working with the Bally’s team, the host community and various local stakeholders to deliver a world-class entertainment center in the nation’s third largest metropolitan area. Our early July agreements with Bally’s also favorably amended the terms of our option to acquire Bally’s Lincoln by the end of 2026, providing added visibility for another possible accretive growth driver.

“This month, Bally’s oversaw the first stage of the important redevelopment of our blue chip 35-acre site on the Las Vegas Strip with the demolition of the Tropicana. This is a historic first step in bringing Major League Baseball’s Athletics to Las Vegas through the development of a new 30,000-seat stadium surrounded by an integrated casino resort facility.

“Our disciplined capital investment approach and relationships with the industry’s leading operators combined with our focus on stable and resilient regional gaming markets, supports our confidence that the Company is well positioned to further grow our cash dividend and drive long-term shareholder value. Our investment activity in 2024 of nearly $2 billion at an attractive blended yield of 8.4% is a firm affirmation of GLPI's disciplined capital investment approach. The combination of our unrivaled gaming and real estate industry expertise and strong balance sheet has positioned GLPI as a development funding and real estate partner of choice for operators of all sizes and has created a platform for near- and long-term growth and the appreciation of shareholder value.”

Recent Developments

On September 11, 2024, the Company completed its previously announced $250 million acquisition of the land on which Bally's (NYSE: BALY) permanent Chicago Casino will be constructed. With the completion of the land purchase, annual rent of $20 million, representing an initial cash yield of 8.0% is now being received.
In September 2024, the Company entered into a $110 million delayed draw term loan facility with the Ione Band of Miwok Indians ("Ione") (the "Ione Loan") to provide the tribe funding for a new casino development near Sacramento, California. Ione has an option at the end of the Ione Loan term to satisfy the loan obligation by converting the outstanding principal into a long-term lease with an initial term of twenty-five (25) years and a maximum term of forty-five (45) years. These agreements were entered into subsequent to receiving a declination letter from the National Indian Gaming Commission approving the transaction documents, including the long-term lease. As of September 30, 2024, $13.7 million was advanced and outstanding under the Ione Loan which has a 5-year term and an interest rate of 11%.
In late August 2024, the Company's development project in Rockford, Illinois was completed. As of September 30, 2024, the entire $150 million loan commitment has been funded which accrues interest at 10%.

In aggregate, the transaction represents a blended 8.3% initial cash yield. Further, the Company secured adjustments to the purchase price and related cap rate related to the existing, previously announced, contingent purchase option for Bally’s Lincoln facility, as well as the addition of a right for GLPI to call the asset beginning in October 2026. The updated purchase price for Bally’s Lincoln is $735 million at an 8.0% cap rate.
On June 3, 2024, the Company announced an agreement to fund and oversee a landside move and hotel renovation of the Belle of Baton Rouge ("The Belle") in Baton Rouge, LA for its tenant The Queen Casino and Entertainment Inc. ("Casino Queen"). The Company has committed to provide up to approximately $111 million of funding for the project ($15 million of which has been funded as of September 30, 2024), which is expected to be completed by September 2025. The casino will continue to operate except while gaming equipment is being moved to the new facility. The Company will own the new facility and Casino Queen will pay an incremental rental yield of 9.0% on the development funding beginning a year from the initial disbursement of funds, which occurred on May 30, 2024.
On May 16, 2024, the Company acquired the real estate assets of the Silverado Franklin Hotel & Gaming Complex, the Deadwood Mountain Grand casino, and Baldini's Casino, for $105.0 million. Simultaneous with the acquisition, GLPI and affiliates of Strategic Gaming Management, LLC ("Strategic") entered into two cross-defaulted triple-net lease agreements, each for an initial 25-year term with two ten-year renewal periods. The Company also provided $5 million in capital improvement proceeds at the closing of the transactions for capital improvements for a total investment of $110 million. The initial aggregate annual cash rent for the new leases is $9.2 million, inclusive of capital improvement funding, and rent is subject to a fixed 2.0% annual escalation beginning in year three of the lease and a CPI based annual escalation beginning in year 11 of the lease, of the greater of 2.0% or CPI capped at 2.5%.
On February 6, 2024, the Company acquired the real estate assets of Tioga Downs Casino Resort ("Tioga Downs") in Nichols, NY from American Racing & Entertainment, LLC ("American Racing") for $175.0 million.

Dividends

On August 28, 2024, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a third quarter dividend of $0.76 per share on the Company's common stock that was paid on September 27, 2024, to shareholders of record on September 13, 2024.

2024 Guidance

The Company's AFFO guidance for the full year 2024 is based on the following assumptions and other factors:

The guidance does not include the impact on operating results from any possible future acquisitions or dispositions, future capital markets activity, or other future non-recurring transactions other than anticipated fundings on current development projects.
The guidance assumes there will be no material changes in applicable legislation, regulatory environment, world events, including weather, public health, recent consumer trends, economic conditions, oil prices, competitive landscape or other circumstances beyond our control that may adversely affect the Company's results of operations.

The Company estimates AFFO for the year ending December 31, 2024 will be between $1.055 billion and $1.058 billion, or between $3.74 and $3.76 per diluted share and OP units.

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, including the information above, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort. This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amounts of various items that would impact net income, which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, provision for credit losses, net, and other non-core items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted. For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information. In particular, the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount of the change in the provision for credit losses, net, under ASU No. 2016-13 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses ("ASC 326") in future periods. The non-cash change in the provision for credit losses under ASC 326 with respect to future periods is dependent upon future events that are entirely outside of the Company's control and may not be reliably predicted, including the performance and future outlook of our tenant's operations for our leases that are subject to ASC 326, as well as broader macroeconomic factors and future predictions of such factors. As a result, forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Net Operating Income ("Cash NOI"), 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. These metrics are presented assuming full conversion of limited partnership units to common shares and therefore before the income statement impact of non-controlling interests. The Company believes FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash NOI 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. Cash NOI is rental and other property income, less cash property level expenses. Cash NOI excludes depreciation, the amortization of land rights, real estate general and administrative expenses, other non-routine costs and the impact of certain generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) adjustments to rental revenue-, such as straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments and non-cash ground lease income and expense. It is management's view that Cash NOI is a performance measure used to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate operations and provides investors relevant and useful information because it reflects only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents them on an unleveraged basis.

FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash NOI are non-GAAP financial measures that are considered supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding (gains) or losses from dispositions of property and real estate depreciation. We have defined AFFO as FFO excluding, as applicable to the particular period, stock based compensation expense, the amortization of debt issuance costs, bond premiums and original issuance discounts, other depreciation, the amortization of land rights, accretion on investment in leases, financing receivables, non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities, property transfer tax recoveries and impairment charges, straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments, losses on debt extinguishment, capitalized interest, and provision (benefit) for credit losses, net, reduced by capital maintenance expenditures. We have defined Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding, as applicable to the particular period, interest, net, income tax expense, real estate depreciation, other depreciation, (gains) or losses from dispositions of property, stock based compensation expense, straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments, the amortization of land rights, accretion on investment in leases, financing receivables, non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities, property transfer tax recoveries and impairment charges, losses on debt extinguishment, and provision (benefit) for credit losses, net. Finally, we have defined Cash NOI as Adjusted EBITDA excluding general and administrative expenses and including stock based compensation expense.

FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash NOI are not recognized terms under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures: (i) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. In addition, these measures should not be viewed as an indication of our ability to fund all of our cash needs, including to make cash distributions to our shareholders, to fund capital improvements, or to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Investors are also cautioned that FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash NOI, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies, including REITs, due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions.
