Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. Reports Record Second Quarter 2019 Results
Reading Time: 20 minutes
– Establishes 2019 Third Quarter Guidance and Updates Full Year Guidance –
Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLPI) (“GLPI” or the “Company”), North America’s first gaming-focused real estate investment trust (“REIT”), today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2019. Second quarter total revenue grew 13.7%, net income grew by 1.1%, Adjusted EBITDA increased 15.9% and FFO and AFFO rose 35.7% and 9.3%, respectively. The year-over-year financial growth primarily reflects GLPI’s October 2018 acquisitions of real property assets operated by Boyd Gaming Corporation (“BYD”), Eldorado Resorts, Inc. (“ERI”) and Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“PENN”).
Chief Executive Officer, Peter M. Carlino, commented “Our solid second quarter results reflect the stability and durability of GLPI’s diversified rental stream as the leading owner of regional gaming real estate. As the M&A and transaction environment remains active across the gaming industry, we continue to invest in existing and new tenant relationships with a dedication to sourcing portfolio enhancing accretive growth opportunities. The GLPI team remains deeply focused on delivering results, prudently managing the balance sheet, and positioning the Company to extend its long track record of value creation for shareholders.”
The second quarter operating results include the acceleration of depreciation and land rights amortization of $16.6 million due to the previously announced closure of the Resorts Casino Tunica property by our tenant, which does not alter the amount of rent due from the tenant under its master lease. During the 2019 second quarter, shareholders received a quarterly cash dividend of $0.68 per share, which marks a 7.9% increase over the comparable period in 2018. This $2.72 annualized dividend amount represents a 5.24% increase on a compound annual basis since the Company’s formation.
