WYOMISSING, Pa., Oct. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (NASDAQ: GLPI) (“GLPI” or the “Company”) today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2026.Financial Highlights
Three Months Ended September 30,(in millions, except per share data) 2026
2025
Total Revenue $435.4 $397.6 Income from Operations $309.9 $337.2 Net Income $213.8 $248.5 FFO (1) (4) $275.9 $315.5 AFFO (2) (4) $311.7 $282.0 Adjusted EBITDA (3) (4) $413.9 $366.4 Net income, per diluted common share $0.71 $0.85 FFO, per diluted common share and OP/LTIP units (4) $0.92 $1.08 AFFO, per diluted common share and OP/LTIP units (4) $1.04 $0.97 Annualized dividend per share $3.28 $3.12 Dividend yield based on period end stock price 8.6% 6.7% _________________________________________
(1)Funds from Operations ("FFO") is net income, excluding (gains) or losses from dispositions of property and real estate depreciation as defined by NAREIT. (2)Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") is 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; amortization of land rights; accretion on investment in leases; non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities; straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments; losses on debt extinguishment and other financing costs; severance charges; capitalized interest; and provision (benefit) for credit losses, net, reduced by capital maintenance expenditures. (3)Adjusted EBITDA is 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; amortization of land rights; accretion on investment in leases; non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities; losses on debt extinguishment and other financing costs; severance charges; and provision (benefit) for credit losses, net. (4)Metrics are presented assuming full conversion of limited partnership units to common shares and therefore before the effect on net income attributable to noncontrolling interests. Peter Carlino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GLPI, commented, “Our third quarter was another record for revenue, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA. Total revenue rose 9.5% to $435.4 million, AFFO grew 10.5% to $311.7 million and Adjusted EBITDA increased 13.0% to $413.9 million, while AFFO per share rose 7.2% to $1.04. These results demonstrate the strength of our model which prioritizes long-term triple-net leases with built-in escalators, strong lease coverage, and the ability to structure and underwrite complex transactions and creative funding solutions for quality tenants. Despite this consistent execution, we believe GLPI’s share price remains significantly dislocated from its fundamentals, resulting in an attractive yield of over 8.5% based on the current quarterly cash dividend.
“Regional gaming has proven its resilience for decades, and it is doing so again. Same-store operator results delivered healthy year-over-year gains through the first nine months of 2026, and the durability of our rents and strong coverage stand out against the currently volatile macro backdrop."
Recent Developments
On October 27, 2026, the Company entered into definitive agreements to form a joint venture with Prologis, Inc (NYSE: PLD) (“Prologis”) to develop the former Hollywood Casino Joliet site in Illinois. GLPI will contribute its owned land to the joint venture in three phases, and Prologis will serve as the managing member and developer of the site. Prologis intends to develop the site, subject to the review and approval by the City of Joliet, into a Class A warehouse and distribution park, which, when completed, is currently anticipated to consist of five building structures totaling more than 3.8 million square feet. The project is expected to be developed over approximately five years, with Prologis holding options over the development of phases two and three.GLPI will receive a capital account credit of $61 million, assuming all three phases are developed, for its contribution of the land to the joint venture, and GLPI will hold an ownership interest in the completed project of approximately 20%, which could be increased to approximately 30%, should GLPI elect to contribute additional capital.
On June 30, 2026, the Company entered into a second amendment to its loan related to the Hard Rock Casino Rockford, pursuant to which the borrower repaid $16.0 million of principal. The amendment also provides for scheduled future principal repayments on or before March 31, 2028, and March 31, 2029. The maturity date was extended to December 31, 2029, and includes an option for GLPI to acquire the building improvements at Hard Rock Casino Rockford.
On June 24, 2026, the Company funded $216.3 million to complete its $225 million commitment for the Hollywood Casino and Hotel Aurora landside development project for PENN Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN) ("PENN") at a 7.75% capitalization rate.
On June 1, 2026, the Company settled a forward sale agreement pursuant, to which it issued 7,589,487 shares of common stock raising net proceeds of $351.0 million.
On March 4, 2026, the Company issued $800 million of senior notes due on March 1, 2036. The notes were priced at 99.857% of par value, with a coupon of 5.625%. The Company used the net proceeds to repay borrowings outstanding under the Company's term loan credit facility, as well as for working capital and general corporate purposes.
On February 11, 2026, GLPI exercised its option to acquire the real property assets of Bally’s Lincoln Casino Resort for a purchase price of $700 million and additional annual rent of $56.0 million (8.0% cap rate). The Company issued 332,890 OP Units in connection with the transaction, with the balance of the consideration paid in cash.
On January 15, 2026, GLPI entered into a development agreement with The Cordish Companies ("Cordish") to fund up to $440 million of real estate construction costs for the Live! Casino & Hotel Virginia and acquired the project land for $27 million, representing a total commitment of $467 million at an 8.0% cap rate. Dividends

2026 Guidance
Reflecting the current operating and competitive environment, the Company is updating its AFFO guidance for the full year 2026 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 that have yet to be announced. The updated guidance incorporates the additional development fundings of approximately $265 million, which will bring total 2026 development spending to $800 million.The guidance assumes there will be no material changes in applicable legislation, regulatory environment, world events, including weather, 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, 2026 will be between $1.222 billion and $1.225 billion, or between $4.11 and $4.12 per diluted share and OP/LTIP units. GLPI's prior guidance contemplated AFFO for the year ending December 31, 2026 of between $1.219 billion and $1.225 billion, or between $4.10 and $4.12 per diluted share and OP/LTIP 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 tenants' operations for our leases that are accounted for as investment in leases, 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.
Portfolio Update
GLPI's primary business consists of acquiring, financing, and owning real estate property to be leased to gaming operators in triple-net lease arrangements. The Company also extends loans that produce fixed or variable returns which may convert into leased rent upon project completion or stabilization. As of September 30, 2026, GLPI's portfolio consisted of interests in 71 gaming and related facilities, including the real property associated with 34 gaming and related facilities operated by PENN Entertainment, Inc. ("PENN"), the real property associated with 6 gaming and related facilities operated by Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: CZR) ("Caesars"), the real property associated with 4 gaming and related facilities operated by Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) ("Boyd"), the real property associated with 16 gaming and related facilities operated by Bally's Corporation (NYSE: BALY) ("Bally's"), 2 facilities under development; one with Bally's in Chicago, Illinois, and the other for The Cordish Companies ("Cordish") and Bruce Smith Enterprise in Petersburg, Virginia, the real property associated with 3 gaming and related facilities operated by Cordish, 1 gaming and related facility operated by American Racing & Entertainment LLC ("American Racing"), 4 gaming and related facilities operated by Strategic Gaming Management, LLC ("Strategic") and 1 facility managed by a subsidiary of Hard Rock International ("Hard Rock").

Property and lease information
The Company has disclosed the following key terms of its master leases and single-property leases in the tables below, along with the properties within each lease at September 30, 2026. We believe the following key terms are important for users of our financial statements to understand.
The coverage ratio is a defined term in each respective lease agreement with our tenants and represents the ratio of Adjusted EBITDAR to rent expense for the properties contained within each lease. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined in each respective lease but is generally consistent with the Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA plus rent expense paid to GLPI.
Certain leases have a minimum escalator coverage ratio governor as disclosed below. Before a rent escalation of up to 2% on the building base rent component of each lease can occur, the minimum coverage ratio for these leases needs to be 1.8 to 1 for the applicable lease year.
The reported coverage ratios below with respect to our tenants' rent coverage over the trailing twelve months were provided by our tenants for the most recently available time period. GLPI has not independently verified the accuracy of the tenants' information and therefore makes no representation as to its accuracy. Rent coverage ratios are not reported for ground leases, leases with development projects or leases that have been in effect for less than twelve months.
The Amended PENN Master Lease, the Amended Pinnacle Master Lease, the Boyd Master Lease, and the Belterra Park Lease each include (i) a fixed rent component, a portion of which escalates annually by up to 2% if specified rent coverage thresholds are met, and (ii) a percentage rent component tied to property performance. The percentage rent component is recalculated periodically, every five years for the Amended PENN Master Lease and every two years for the other leases, based on 4% of the average annual net revenues of the applicable facilities in excess of a contractually defined baseline, subject to certain floors.

(3) During the construction period, amounts funded for the Virginia Live! development are accounted for as real estate loans because the lessee controls the underlying asset under construction. Upon completion of construction and when the facility is ready for its intended use, the Company will apply the sale and leaseback guidance to determine the appropriate lease classification. Pursuant to the lease agreement, the initial lease term expires on the last day of the calendar month in which the 39th anniversary of the facility's opening occurs, and annual rent escalations commence on the first anniversary of the facility's opening date. Accordingly, the lease expiration date and rent escalation anniversary date will be determined upon the facility's opening date. Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP 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 noncontrolling interests. The Company believes FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP 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 cash rental income and interest on real estate loans, 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/LTIP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP 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, non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities, straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments, losses on debt extinguishment and other financing costs, severance charges, 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, non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities, losses on debt extinguishment and other financing costs, severance charges, 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 and severance charges.
FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP 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/LTIP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP/LTIP 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. Our presentation of these measures does not replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.
