Net Income	$	73.3	$	69.7	$	32.0

⁽¹⁾ The guidance figures in the tables above present the guidance provided on April 26, 2016, for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

⁽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.

Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. Chief Executive Officer, Peter M. Carlino commented, “With the completion of the Pinnacle Entertainment acquisition, we are more diversified by both tenant and geography, strengthening our already stable cash flow profile and enhancing our position as a leader within the triple-net REIT industry. We expect to close the Meadows Racetrack and Casino (“the Meadows”) transaction in September. Funding for this transaction will come from a combination of cash on hand, equity, and revolver proceeds. We expect to raise at least $168.0 million from the ATM over the course of several months which will result in the Meadows transaction leverage of 5.5 times and anticipated total Company leverage of 5.3 times on a pro forma basis by the end of the year. Further reductions in leverage, which will happen with undistributed earnings, will allow us to finance (small to moderate sized) future acquisitions without equity capital markets volatility concerns and increase the size of cash transactions we could prudently undertake. Additionally, our portfolio continues to perform well given our increased scale and we believe that we are well positioned in our assets throughout market cycles. Looking ahead, we will continue to utilize our deep industry knowledge and strong balance sheet to pursue additional accretive acquisitions that will further increase our portfolio quality and scale while growing our AFFO and dividend for our shareholders.”

The Company’s second quarter 2016 net income and FFO as compared to its guidance were impacted by the following:


•	Income from rental activities was unfavorable to guidance by $1.0 million as Penn National Gaming, Inc.'s (NASDAQ: PENN) Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo underperformed by $1.0 million;


•	Favorable adjustments to guidance of $2.8 million, due to finalization of PNK accounting treatment;


•	Corporate expenses were approximately $0.9 million less than guidance primarily due to lower than anticipated legal expenses for potential acquisitions;


•	Interest, net was favorable to guidance by $0.9 million primarily due to lower than anticipated interest as a result of the PNK transaction.

In addition, AFFO was impacted by $0.4 million of favorable capital maintenance expenditures for the quarter as compared to guidance.

Portfolio Update

GLPI owns approximately 4,195 acres of land and 14.7 million square feet of building space, which was 100% occupied as of June 30, 2016. At the end of the second quarter of 2016, the Company owned the real estate associated with 35 casino facilities and leases 18 of these facilities to PENN, 14 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.) (the “TRS properties”).

Capital maintenance expenditures at the TRS properties were $0.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

Financing Update

We completed an offering of 28.75 million shares at $30.00 which was very well received in the market as the offering was upsized from 19.0 million shares. The price was a 0.3% premium to the file offer price. We had over 170 institutional investors interested in the offer, including four of the top ten REIT dedicated funds as well as significant support from existing shareholders. Additionally, we initiated a successful bond offering, which settled on April 28, 2016, with two tranches; 2021 maturity of $400.0 million at 4.375% and 2026 maturity of $975.0 million at 5.375%. We are hopeful that this is the beginning of more REIT dedicated funds finding our company to be a safe, secure and compelling investment. With the equity offering we are expecting to be approximately under 5.3 times leveraged on a pro forma basis by the end of 2016.

On August 9, 2016, the Company commenced a continuous equity offering under which the Company may sell up to an aggregate of $400 million of its common stock from time to time through a sales agent in “at the market” offerings (the “ATM Program”. Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and determinations of the appropriate sources of funding for proposed transactions. The Company may sell the shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company, but has no obligation to sell any of the shares in the ATM Program. The ATM Program also allows the Company to enter into forward sale agreements. In no event will the aggregate number of shares sold under the ATM Program (whether under any forward sale agreement or through a sales agent), have an aggregate sales price in excess of $400 million.

Balance Sheet Update

The Company had $23.7 million of unrestricted cash on hand and $4.5 billion in total debt, including $1,125.0 million of debt outstanding under its unsecured credit facility term loans and $20.0 million outstanding under its unsecured credit facility revolver at June 30, 2016.

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. 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.
