Insights

VICI Properties' Q2 2024 results demonstrate solid growth and strategic investments. The 6.6% year-over-year revenue increase to $957.0 million and 9.6% rise in AFFO to $592.4 million indicate robust financial performance. The company's ability to raise full-year 2024 AFFO guidance to $2,350-$2,370 million ($2.24-$2.26 per diluted share) suggests confidence in its business model and growth trajectory.

Two key investments stand out: the $700 million Venetian Capital Investment and the $250 million Great Wolf mezzanine loan. These moves demonstrate VICI's strategic approach to capital deployment, leveraging existing partnerships and diversifying into experiential real estate. The 7.25% yield on the Venetian investment is particularly attractive in the current market environment.

VICI's balance sheet remains strong with $3.4 billion in liquidity, including $347.2 million in cash and $681.0 million in forward sale equity proceeds. This positions the company well for future growth opportunities. However, investors should note the $17.1 billion in total debt, which requires monitoring in a rising interest rate environment.

Overall, VICI's Q2 results and strategic moves paint a picture of a company executing well on its growth strategy in the experiential real estate sector.

VICI Properties' Q2 2024 results highlight its unique position in the experiential real estate sector. The company's focus on high-quality partnerships and strategic capital deployment is evident in its recent investments.

The Venetian Capital Investment, utilizing VICI's Partner Property Growth Fund strategy, is particularly noteworthy. This $700 million commitment not only enhances an existing asset but also secures additional rental income at an attractive 7.25% yield. The structured draw schedule and rent escalation terms demonstrate VICI's sophisticated approach to property investments.

The $250 million mezzanine loan to Great Wolf Resorts showcases VICI's ability to generate returns through its credit solutions strategy. This diversification beyond traditional property ownership adds flexibility to VICI's business model.

VICI's portfolio strategy appears to be paying off, with the 6.6% year-over-year revenue growth and 5.9% increase in AFFO per share. The company's ability to raise guidance amid economic uncertainties speaks to the resilience of its portfolio and the strength of its tenant relationships.

However, investors should keep an eye on VICI's debt levels and interest rate exposure. While the company has a strong liquidity position, its $17.1 billion in total debt could become more burdensome if interest rates continue to rise. The recent interest rate swap for $100 million is a prudent move, but further hedging strategies may be necessary.

CEO Comments

Edward Pitoniak, Chief Executive Officer of VICI Properties, said, “In the second quarter, we committed up to $950.0 million of capital into existing high-quality partnerships, $650.0 million of which will be deployed this year, comprised of our $400.0 million property improvement investment into the Venetian and $250.0 million credit investment into Great Wolf Resorts. We funded $350.0 million of the aggregate commitment in the second quarter and an additional $150.0 million of the Venetian Capital Investment subsequent to quarter end. Given the funding cadence of these investments and our strong liquidity position at quarter end, we were able to fund them with capital on hand. The Venetian Capital Investment exemplifies the value of our Partner Property Growth Fund strategy, which provides attractive capital deployment opportunities to invest into existing VICI assets at scale, and the Great Wolf transaction demonstrates VICI's ability to recycle capital via our VICI Experiential Credit Solutions strategy. We believe these investments demonstrate that VICI has advantageous levers for sustained, sustainable growth with quality tenants in durable sectors across attractive geographies."

Second Quarter 2024 Acquisitions and Portfolio Activity

Acquisitions and Investments

On May 1, 2024, the Company announced that it will provide up to $700.0 million of capital to The Venetian Resort Las Vegas ("The Venetian Resort") for extensive reinvestment projects through its Partner Property Growth Fund strategy (the "Venetian Capital Investment"). The Venetian Capital Investment is comprised of $400.0 million expected to be drawn in 2024 and an incremental $300.0 million that The Venetian Resort will have the option, but not the obligation, to draw in whole or in part until November 1, 2026. The initial $400.0 million investment is and will be funded in three quarterly capital fundings based on a fixed schedule: $100.0 million was drawn in Q2 2024, $150.0 million was drawn in Q3 2024 and $150.0 million will be drawn in Q4 2024. Annual rent under the existing Venetian Resort lease (as amended, the “Venetian Resort Lease”) increases commencing on the first day of the quarter immediately following each capital funding at a 7.25% yield (the "Incremental Venetian Rent"). The Incremental Venetian Rent will begin escalating annually at 2.0% on March 1, 2029 and, commencing on March 1, 2031, will begin escalating on the same terms as the rest of the rent payable under the Venetian Resort Lease with annual escalation equal to the greater of 2.0% or CPI, capped at 3.0%. The $100.0 million draw in Q2 2024 and the $150.0 million draw in Q3 2024 were funded, and the $150.0 million draw in Q4 2024 is expected to be funded, with a combination of cash and proceeds from the partial settlement of the Company's outstanding forward equity sale agreements.

On May 9, 2024, the Company announced that it had originated a $250.0 million mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) as part of a $1.55 billion financing that also includes a single borrower group CMBS securitization (the “Great Wolf Loan”) for Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. (“Great Wolf”) through its VICI Experiential Credit Solutions strategy. The Mezzanine Loan has an annual fixed interest rate and an initial term of two years with three 12-month extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with the Great Wolf Loan origination, Great Wolf repaid VICI’s $79.5 million mezzanine loan for Great Wolf Lodge Maryland. The remaining $170.5 million capital commitment was funded with cash.

Second Quarter 2024 Capital Markets Activity

Subsequent to quarter end, on July 1, 2024, the Company physically settled 4,000,000 shares under its outstanding ATM forward sale agreements in exchange for aggregate net proceeds of approximately $115.2 million.

Subsequent to quarter end, during July 2024, the Company entered into forward-starting interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million, which is intended to reduce the variability in future cash flows for a forecasted issuance of long-term debt.

Dividends

On June 7, 2024, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.415 per share. The Q2 2024 dividend was paid on July 3, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 18, 2024 and totaled in aggregate approximately $432.9 million.

2024 Guidance

The Company is raising its AFFO guidance for the full year 2024. In determining AFFO, the Company adjusts for certain items that are otherwise included in determining net income attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) financial measure. In reliance on the exception provided by applicable rules, the Company does not provide guidance for GAAP net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of 2024 AFFO to GAAP net income because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount of the change in non-cash allowance for credit losses under ASU No. 2016-13 - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASC 326”) for a future period. The non-cash change in allowance for credit losses under ASC 326 with respect to a future period is dependent upon future events that are entirely outside of the Company’s control and may not be reliably predicted, including its tenants’ respective financial performance, fluctuations in the trading price of their common stock, credit ratings and outlook (each to the extent applicable), as well as broader macroeconomic performance. Based on past results and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, the impact of these adjustments could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s reported GAAP results. For more information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The Company estimates AFFO for the year ending December 31, 2024 will be between $2,350 million and $2,370 million, or between $2.24 and $2.26 per diluted common share. Guidance does not include the impact on operating results from any pending or possible future acquisitions or dispositions, capital markets activity, or other non-recurring transactions.

The following is a summary of the Company’s updated full-year 2024 guidance:

	Updated Guidance		Prior Guidance
For the Year Ending December 31, 2024:	Low	High	Low	High
Estimated Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)	$2,350	$2,370	$2,320	$2,355
Estimated Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO) per diluted share	$2.24	$2.26	$2.22	$2.25
Estimated Weighted Average Share Count for the Year (in millions)	1,048.0	1,048.0	1,046.0	1,046.0

The above per share estimates reflect the dilutive effect of the 18,856,855 shares currently pending under the Company's outstanding forward sale agreements as calculated under the treasury stock method. VICI partnership units held by third parties are reflected as non-controlling interests and the income allocable to them is deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to common stockholders and AFFO; accordingly, guidance represents AFFO per share attributable to common stockholders based solely on outstanding shares of VICI common stock.

The estimates set forth above reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release. The estimates set forth above may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors and there can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents Funds From Operations (“FFO”), FFO per share, Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as alternatives to net income or as an indicator of operating performance (as determined in accordance with GAAP). We believe FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of our business.

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is considered a supplemental measure for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. Consistent with the definition used by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit), we define FFO as net income (or loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) gains (or losses) from sales of certain real estate assets, (ii) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) our proportionate share of such adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate.

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental operating measure to evaluate our performance. We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO non-cash leasing and financing adjustments, non-cash change in allowance for credit losses, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of real estate investments, amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, other non-cash interest expense, non-real estate depreciation (which is comprised of the depreciation related to our golf course operations), capital expenditures (which are comprised of additions to property, plant and equipment related to our golf course operations), impairment charges related to non-depreciable real estate, gains (or losses) on debt extinguishment and interest rate swap settlements, other gains (losses), deferred income tax benefits and expenses, other non-recurring non-cash transactions, our proportionate share of non-cash adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate (including the amortization of any basis differences) with respect to certain of the foregoing and non-cash adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest with respect to certain of the foregoing.

We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding or subtracting from AFFO contractual interest expense (including the impact of the forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks) and interest income (collectively, interest expense, net), income tax expense and our proportionate share of such adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate.

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 measures of liquidity, nor do they measure our ability to fund all of our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to our stockholders, to fund capital improvements, or to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Investors are also cautioned that FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA, 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. Our presentation of these measures does not replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of net income to FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA are included in this release.
