Table of Contents

 

Forward-looking statements in this document are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (“GLPI”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward- looking statements. Forward-looking statements include information concerning the Company’s business strategy, plans, and goals and objectives.

 

Statements preceded by, followed by or that otherwise include the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “projects,” “estimates,” “plans,” “may increase,” “may fluctuate,” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “should,” “would,” “may” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. You should understand that the following important factors could affect future results and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in such forward-looking statements:

 

·                  the ability to receive, or delays in obtaining, the regulatory approvals required to own, develop and/or operate our properties, or other delays or impediments to completing our planned acquisitions or projects, including our ability to identify and reach definitive agreements with a third party operator for our planned acquisition of The Meadows Racetrack and Casino;

 

·                  there being no need for any further dividend of historical accumulated earnings and profits in order to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014;

 

·                  our ability to qualify as a REIT, given the highly technical and complex Code provisions for which only limited judicial and administrative authorities exist, where even a technical or inadvertent violation could jeopardize REIT qualification and where requirements may depend in part on the actions of third parties over which the Company has no control or only limited influence;

 

·                  the satisfaction of certain asset, income, organizational, distribution, shareholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis in order for the Company to maintain its intended election of REIT status;

 

·                  the ability and willingness of our tenants, operators and other third parties to meet and/or perform their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with us, including, in some cases, their obligations to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against various claims, litigation and liabilities;

 

·                  the ability of our tenants and operators to maintain the financial strength and liquidity necessary to satisfy their respective obligations and liabilities to third parties, including without limitation obligations under their existing credit facilities and other indebtedness;

 

·                  the ability of our tenants and operators to comply with laws, rules and regulations in the operation of our properties, to deliver high quality services, to attract and retain qualified personnel and to attract customers;

 

·                  the availability and the ability to identify suitable and attractive acquisition and development opportunities and the ability to acquire and lease the respective properties on favorable terms;

 

·                  the degree and nature of our competition;

 

·                  the ability to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;

 

·                  the access to debt and equity capital markets;

 

·                  fluctuating interest rates;

 

·                  the availability of qualified personnel and our ability to retain our key management personnel;

 

·                  GLPI’s duty to indemnify Penn National Gaming, Inc. and its subsidiaries in certain circumstances if the spin-off transaction described in Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements fails to be tax-free;

 

·                  changes in the United States tax law and other state, federal or local laws, whether or not specific to real estate, real estate investment trusts or to the gaming, lodging or hospitality industries;

 

·                  changes in accounting standards;

 

·                  the impact of weather events or conditions, natural disasters, acts of terrorism and other international hostilities, war or political instability;

 

·                  other risks inherent in the real estate business, including potential liability relating to environmental matters and illiquidity of real estate investments; and

Table of Contents

 

·                  additional factors as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

 

Certain of these factors and other factors, risks and uncertainties are discussed in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. Other unknown or unpredictable factors may also cause actual results to differ materially from those projected by the forward-looking statements. Most of these factors are difficult to anticipate and are generally beyond the control of the Company.

 

You should consider the areas of risk described above, as well as those set forth in the “Risk Factors” section in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company generally. Except for the ongoing obligations of the Company to disclose material information under the federal securities laws, the Company does not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to any forward-looking statements, to report events or to report the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required to do so by law.

Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc.

Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

 

1.              Organization and Operations

 

On November 15, 2012, Penn National Gaming, Inc. (“Penn”) announced that it intended to pursue a plan to separate the majority of its operating assets and real property assets into two publicly traded companies including an operating entity, and, through a tax-free spin-off of its real estate assets to holders of its common and preferred stock, a newly formed publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”), Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. (“GLPI”) (the “Spin-Off”).

 

GLPI (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) was incorporated on February 13, 2013, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penn. In connection with the Spin-Off, which was completed on November 1, 2013, Penn contributed to GLPI, through a series of internal corporate restructurings, substantially all of the assets and liabilities associated with Penn’s real property interests and real estate development business, as well as the assets and liabilities of Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and Hollywood Casino Perryville, which are referred to as the “TRS Properties,” in a tax-free distribution. The Company intends to elect on its United States (“U.S.”) federal income tax return for its taxable year beginning on January 1, 2014 to be treated as a REIT and the Company, together with an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, GLP Holdings, Inc., intend to jointly elect to treat each of GLP Holdings, Inc., Louisiana Casino Cruises, Inc. and Penn Cecil Maryland, Inc. as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” (a “TRS”) effective on the first day of the first taxable year of GLPI as a REIT. As a result of the Spin-Off, GLPI owns substantially all of Penn’s former real property assets and leases back most of those assets to Penn for use by its subsidiaries, under a master lease, a “triple-net” operating lease with an initial term of 15 years with no purchase option, followed by four 5 year renewal options (exercisable by Penn) on the same terms and conditions (the “Master Lease”), and GLPI also owns and operates the TRS Properties through an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, GLP Holdings, Inc.

 

Prior to the Spin-Off, GLPI and Penn entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement setting forth the mechanics of the Spin-Off, certain organizational matters and other ongoing obligations of Penn and GLPI. Penn and GLPI or their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, also entered into a number of other agreements prior to the Spin-Off to provide a framework for the restructuring and for the relationships between GLPI and Penn after the Spin-Off.

 

GLPI’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing, and owning real estate property to be leased to gaming operators in “triple net” lease arrangements. As of June 30, 2014, GLPI’s portfolio consisted of 22 gaming and related facilities, which included the TRS Properties, the real property associated with 19 gaming and related facilities operated by Penn (including two properties under development in Ohio, Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course), and the real property associated with the Casino Queen in East St. Louis, Illinois, that was acquired in January 2014.  These facilities are geographically diversified across 13 states. GLPI expects to grow its portfolio by pursuing opportunities to acquire additional gaming facilities to lease to gaming operators under prudent terms, which may or may not include Penn.

 

In connection with the Spin-Off, Penn allocated its accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) for periods prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off between Penn and GLPI. In connection with its election to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, GLPI declared a special dividend to its shareholders to distribute any accumulated earnings and profits relating to the real property assets and attributable to any pre-REIT years, including any earnings and profits allocated to GLPI in connection with the Spin-Off, to comply with certain REIT qualification requirements (the “Purging Distribution”). The Purging Distribution, which was paid on February 18, 2014, totaled approximately $1.05 billion and was comprised of cash and GLPI common stock.  See Note 9 for further details.

 

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

 

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GLPI and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2014. The notes to the consolidated financial statements contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (our “Annual Report”) should be read in conjunction with these condensed consolidated financial statements.  The December 31, 2013 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

 

2.    New Accounting Pronouncements

 

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) (“ASU 2014-09”). This new standard will replace all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topic and eliminate all industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 provides a unified model to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration for which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and can be applied either retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is evaluating the impact of adopting this new accounting standard on its financial statements and internal revenue recognition policies.

 

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014 -08”). This new standard raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures for both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift that will have a major effect on operations and financial results should be presented as discontinued operations.  ASU 2014 -08 is effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in previously issued financial statements. The impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-08 on the Company’s results of operations, financial position, cash flows and disclosures will be based on the Company’s future disposal activity.

 

3.              Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate:

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximates the carrying value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, due to the short maturity of the cash equivalents.

 

Long-term Debt

 

The fair value of the senior unsecured notes and senior unsecured credit facility is estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and as such is a Level 1 measurement as defined under Accounting Standards Code (“ASC”) 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures.”

 

The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments are as follows (in thousands):

Comprehensive Income

 

Comprehensive income includes net income and all other non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity during a period. The Company did not have any non-owner changes in shareholders’ equity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, and comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was equivalent to net income for those time periods.

 

Revenue Recognition and Promotional Allowances

 

The Company recognizes rental revenue from tenants, including rental abatements, lease incentives and contractually fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the term of the related leases when collectability is reasonably assured. Contingent rental income is recognized once the lessee achieves the specified target. Recognition of rental income commences when control of the facility has been transferred to the tenant. For facilities being jointly developed with the tenant, the Company retains control of the assets to be leased until operations commence and control is transferred to the tenant.

 

As of June 30, 2014, all but three of the Company’s properties were leased to a subsidiary of Penn under the Master Lease. The obligations under the Master Lease are guaranteed by Penn and by most Penn subsidiaries that occupy and operate the facilities leased under the Master Lease. A default by Penn or its subsidiaries with regard to any facility will cause a default with regard to the Master Lease. In January 2014, GLPI completed the asset acquisition of Casino Queen in East St. Louis, Illinois. GLPI subsequently leased the property back to Casino Queen on a “triple net” basis on terms similar to those in the Master Lease.

 

The rent structure under the Master Lease with Penn includes a fixed component, a portion of which is subject to an annual 2% escalator if certain rent coverage ratio thresholds are met, and a component that is based on the performance of the facilities, which is adjusted, subject to certain floors (i) every 5 years by an amount equal to 4% of the average change to net revenues of all facilities under the Master Lease (other than Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo) during the preceding five years, and (ii) monthly by an amount equal to 20% of the change in net revenues of Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo during the preceding month. In addition to rent, all properties under the Master Lease with Penn are required to pay the following: (1) all facility maintenance, (2) all insurance required in connection with the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties, (3) taxes levied on or with respect to the leased properties (other than taxes on the income of the lessor) and (4) all utilities and other services necessary or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties.

 

Additionally, in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition,” the Company records revenue for the real estate taxes paid by its tenants on the leased properties under the Master Lease with an offsetting expense in real estate taxes within the consolidated statement of income as the Company has concluded it is the primary obligor under the Master Lease.

 

Gaming revenue generated by the TRS Properties mainly consists of video lottery gaming revenue, and to a lesser extent, table game and poker revenue. Video lottery gaming revenue is the aggregate net difference between gaming wins and losses with liabilities recognized for funds deposited by customers before gaming play occurs, for “ticket-in, ticket-out” coupons in the customers’ possession, and for accruals related to the anticipated payout of progressive jackpots. Progressive slot machines, which contain base jackpots that increase at a progressive rate based on the number of coins played, are charged to revenue as the amount of the jackpots increases. Table game gaming revenue is the aggregate of table drop adjusted for the change in aggregate table chip inventory. Table drop is the total dollar amount of the currency, coins, chips, tokens, outstanding counter checks (markers), and front money that are removed from the live gaming tables. Additionally, food and beverage revenue is recognized as services are performed.

 

The following table discloses the components of gaming revenue within the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013:

Gaming and Admission Taxes

 

For the TRS Properties, the Company is subject to gaming and admission taxes based on gross gaming revenues in the jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company primarily recognizes gaming tax expense based on the statutorily required percentage of revenue that is required to be paid to state and local jurisdictions in the states where or in which wagering occurs. At Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge, the gaming admission tax is based on graduated tax rates. The Company records gaming and admission taxes at the Company’s estimated effective gaming tax rate for the year, considering estimated taxable gaming revenue and the applicable rates. Such estimates are adjusted each interim period. If gaming tax rates change during the year, such changes are applied prospectively in the determination of gaming tax expense in future interim periods.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, these expenses, which are primarily recorded within gaming expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income, totaled $17.9 million and $35.2 million, respectively, as compared to $19.6 million and $38.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively.

 

Earnings Per Share

 

The Company calculates earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260, “Earnings Per Share.” Basic EPS is computed by dividing net income applicable to common stock by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding net income attributable to participating securities (unvested restricted stock awards). Diluted EPS reflects the additional dilution for all potentially-dilutive securities such as stock options, unvested restricted shares and unvested performance-based restricted shares. Basic and diluted EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were retroactively restated for the number of GLPI basic and diluted shares outstanding immediately following the Spin-Off and to include the shares issued as part of the purging distribution dividend paid to its shareholders to distribute any accumulated earnings and profits relating to the real property assets and attributable to any pre-REIT years, including any earnings and profits allocated to GLPI in connection with the Spin-Off, to comply with certain REIT qualification requirements (“the Purging Distribution”).

Stock-Based Compensation

 

The Company accounts for stock compensation under ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation,” which requires the Company to expense the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant-date fair value of the award. This expense is recognized ratably over the requisite service period following the date of grant. The fair value for stock options is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option- pricing model.

 

Additionally, the cash-settled phantom stock units (“PSU”) entitle employees to receive cash based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the vesting date. These PSUs are accounted for as liability awards and are re-measured at fair value each reporting period until they become vested with compensation expense being recognized over the requisite service period in accordance with ASC 718-30, “Compensation-Stock Compensation, Awards Classified as Liabilities.”

 

In addition, the Company’s stock appreciation rights (“SAR”) are accounted for as liability awards since they will be settled in cash. The fair value of these awards is calculated during each reporting period and estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model.

 

In connection with the Spin-Off of GLPI, employee stock options and cash settled stock appreciation rights of Penn were converted through the issuance of GLPI employee stock options and GLPI cash settled stock appreciation rights and an adjustment to the exercise prices of their Penn awards. The number of options and cash settled stock appreciation rights, subject to and the exercise price of each converted award was adjusted to preserve the same intrinsic value of the awards that existed immediately prior to the Spin-Off.

 

Holders of outstanding restricted stock awards and cash settled phantom stock unit awards received an additional share of restricted stock or cash settled phantom stock unit awards in GLPI common stock at the Spin-Off so that the intrinsic value of these awards were equivalent to those that existed immediately prior to the Spin-Off.

Table of Contents

 

The adjusted options and SARs, as well as the restricted stock awards and PSUs, otherwise remain subject to their original terms, except that for purposes of the adjusted Penn awards (including in determining exercisability and the post-termination exercise period), continued service with GLPI following the distribution date shall be deemed continued service with Penn.  The unrecognized compensation relating to both Penn and GLPI’s stock options and restricted stock awards held by GLPI employees will be amortized to expense over the awards’ remaining vesting periods.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there was $5.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for stock options that will be recognized over the grants remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.27 years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively of compensation expense associated with these awards. In addition, the Company also recognized $3.2 million and $6.5 million of compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, relating to each of the first and second quarter $.52 per share dividends paid on vested employee stock options.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there was $14.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for restricted stock awards that will be recognized over the grants remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.75 years. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company recognized $0.9 million and $1.5 million, respectively of compensation expense associated with these awards.

On April 25, 2014, the Company awarded market performance-based restricted stock awards with a three-year cliff vesting. The amount of restricted shares vested at the end of the three-year period will be determined based on the Company’s performance as measured against its peers.  More specifically, the percentage of shares vesting at the end of the measurement period will be based on the Company’s three-year total shareholder return measured against the three-year return of the MSCI US REIT index.  The Company utilized a third party valuation firm to measure the fair value of the awards at grant date using the Monte Carlo model. As of June 30, 2014, there was $11.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, which will be recognized over the awards remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.82 years for performance-based restricted stock awards.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2104, the Company recognized $0.7 million of compensation expense associated with these awards.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there was $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, which will be recognized over the awards remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.14 years, for Penn and GLPI PSUs held by GLPI employees that will be cash-settled by GLPI. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, the Company recognized $0.7 million and $1.1 million, respectively of compensation expense associated with these awards. In addition, the Company also recognized $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively relating to the purging distribution dividend and the first and second quarter $.52 per share dividends paid on unvested PSUs.

 

As of June 30, 2014, there was $0.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, which will be recognized over the grants remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.39 years, for Penn and GLPI SARs held by GLPI employees that will be cash-settled by GLPI.

 

Upon the declaration of the Purging Distribution, GLPI options and GLPI SARs were adjusted in a manner that preserved both the pre-distribution intrinsic value of the options and SARs and the pre-distribution ratio of the stock price to exercise price that existed immediately before the Purging Distribution. Additionally, upon declaration of the Purging Distribution, holders of GLPI PSUs were credited with the special dividend, which will accrue and be paid, if applicable, on the vesting date of the related PSU. Holders of GLPI restricted stock were entitled to receive the special dividend with respect to such restricted stock on the same date or dates that the special dividend was payable on GLPI common stock to shareholders of GLPI generally.

Segment Information

 

Consistent with how the Company’s Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews and assesses the Company’s financial performance, the Company has two reportable segments, GLP Capital, L.P. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of GLPI through which GLPI owns substantially all of its assets) (“GLP Capital”) and the TRS Properties. The GLP Capital reportable segment consists of the leased real property and represents the majority of the Company’s business. The TRS Properties reportable segment consists of Hollywood Casino Perryville and Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge. See Note 10 for further information with respect to the Company’s segments.

 

4.              Acquisitions

 

In January 2014, the Company completed the asset acquisition of the real property associated with the Casino Queen in East St. Louis, Illinois for $140.7 million, including transaction fees of $0.7 million.  Simultaneously with the acquisition, GLPI also provided Casino Queen with a $43 million, five year term loan at 7% interest, pre-payable at any time, which, together with the sale proceeds, completely refinanced and retired all of Casino Queen’s outstanding long-term debt obligations. As of June 30, 2014, the balance of this loan was $36 million, due to principal and interest payments made.  GLPI leased the property back to Casino Queen on a “triple net” basis on terms similar to those in the Master Lease and will result in approximately $14 million in annual rent.  The lease has an initial term of 15 years, and the tenant has an option to renew it at the same terms and conditions for four successive five year periods.

 

In May 2014, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement with Cannery Casino Resorts LLC (“CCR”) to acquire The Meadows Racetrack and Casino located in Washington, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, for $465 million. The 180,000 square foot casino, which opened in 2007, contains 3,317 slot machines, 61 table games and 14 poker tables. In addition to the casino, the property includes 11 casual and fine dining restaurants, bars and lounges, a 24-lane bowling alley and a 5/8 mile racetrack with a 500-seat grandstand.  The Company is currently evaluating third party operators for the property, to whom the Company expects to sell the entities holding the licenses and operating assets, while retaining ownership of the land and buildings. The transaction is subject to and requires approval from the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board (“PAGCB”) and the Pennsylvania Racing Commission (“PARC”).  The Company filed applications/petitions with the PAGCB and the PARC for approval to own and operate the facility in the event that all of the conditions to closing in the Company’s agreement with CCR are satisfied and an agreement with a third party operator cannot be reached on terms acceptable to the Company and/or the PAGCB or PARC do not approve such third party operator.  The transaction, which is expected to be accretive immediately upon closing, is expected to close in 2015.

Penn anticipates opening Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course in mid-September 2014.  The increase in land and buildings and related improvements is primarily driven by the Company’s acquisition of the real estate of Casino Queen for $140.7 million in January 2014.

The Company participates in a $1,000.0 million senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $700.0 million revolving credit facility and a $300.0 million Term Loan A facility. The Credit Facility matures on October 28, 2018. At June 30, 2014, the Credit Facility had a gross outstanding balance of $476.0 million, consisting of the $300 million Term Loan A facility and $176 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2014, $524.0 million remained available under the Credit Facility.

 

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of GLPI and its subsidiaries, to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations or pay certain dividends and other restricted payments. The Credit Facility contains the following financial covenants, which are measured quarterly on a trailing four-quarter basis: a maximum total debt to total asset value ratio, a maximum senior secured debt to total asset value ratio, a maximum ratio of certain recourse debt to unencumbered asset value and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, GLPI is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth. GLPI is required to maintain its status as a REIT on and after the effective date of its election to be treated as a REIT, which election GLPI intends to make on its U.S. federal income tax return for its 2014 fiscal year. GLPI is permitted to pay dividends to its shareholders as may be required in order to maintain REIT status, subject to the absence of payment or bankruptcy defaults. GLPI is also permitted to make other dividends and

distributions subject to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and the absence of defaults. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. Such events of default include the occurrence of a change of control and termination of the Master Lease (subject to certain replacement rights). The occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Credit Facility will enable the lenders under the Credit Facility to accelerate the loans, and terminate the commitments, thereunder.

 

Each of the 4.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”); 4.875% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”); and 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes,” and collectively with the 2018 Notes and 2020 Notes, the “Notes”) contains covenants limiting the Company’s ability to: incur additional debt and use their assets to secure debt; merge or consolidate with another company; and make certain amendments to the Master Lease. The Notes also require the Company to maintain a specified ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

 

At June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

 

8.              Commitments and Contingencies

 

Litigation

 

Pursuant to a Separation and Distribution Agreement between Penn and GLPI, any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings involving the businesses and operations of Penn’s real property holdings prior to the Spin-Off (other than any liability arising from or relating to legal proceedings where the dispute arises from the operation or ownership of the TRS Properties) will be retained by Penn and Penn will indemnify GLPI (and its subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees and agents and certain other related parties) against any losses it may incur arising from or relating to such legal proceedings.

 

The Company is subject to various legal and administrative proceedings relating to personal injuries, employment matters, commercial transactions, and other matters arising in the normal course of business. The Company does not believe that the final outcome of these matters will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. In addition, the Company maintains what it believes is adequate insurance coverage to further mitigate the risks of such proceedings. However, such proceedings can be costly, time consuming, and unpredictable and, therefore, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of such proceedings may not materially impact the Company’s financial condition or results of operations. Further, no assurance can be given that the amount or scope of existing insurance coverage will be sufficient to cover losses arising from such matters.

 

9.              Dividends

 

On February 18, 2014, GLPI made the Purging Distribution, which totaled $1.05 billion and was comprised of cash and GLPI common stock, to distribute the accumulated earnings and profits related to the real property assets and attributable to any pre-REIT years, including any earnings and profits allocated to GLPI in connection with the Spin-Off. Shareholders were given the option to elect either an all-cash or all-stock dividend, subject to a total cash limitation of $210.0 million. Of the 88,691,827 shares of common stock outstanding on the record date, approximately 54.3% elected the cash distribution and approximately 45.7% elected a stock distribution or made no election. Shareholders electing cash received $4.358049 plus 0.195747 additional GLPI shares per common share held on the record date. Shareholders electing stock or not making an election received 0.309784 additional GLPI shares per common share held on the record date. Stock dividends were paid based on the volume weighted average price for the three trading days ended February 13, 2014 of $38.2162 per share. Approximately 22.0 million shares were issued in connection with this dividend payment.  In addition, cash distributions were made to GLPI and Penn employee restricted stock award holders in the amount of $1.0 million for the purging distribution.  GLPI and Penn have jointly requested a Pre-Filing Agreement from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2009 -14 to confirm the appropriate allocation of Penn’s historical earnings and profits between GLPI and Penn.  The outcome of this request may affect the amount of the dividend required to be paid by GLPI to its shareholders prior to December 31, 2014.

 

Additionally, on February 18, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors declared its first quarterly dividend of $0.52 per common share, which was paid on March 28, 2014, in the amount of $58.0 million, to shareholders of record on March 7, 2014. In addition, first quarter dividend payments were made to or accrued for GLPI restricted stock award holders and both GLPI and Penn unvested employee stock options in the amount of $1.0 million. On May 30, 2014, the Company’s Board of Directors declared a second quarter dividend of $0.52 per common share, which was paid on June 27, 2014, in the amount of $58.2 million, to shareholders of record on June 12, 2014. In addition, second quarter dividend payments were made to or accrued for GLPI restricted stock award holders and both GLPI and Penn unvested employee stock options in the amount of $1.0 million.

The amounts paid to Penn for Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and Hollywood Casino Perryville’s allocated share of federal income taxes were $4.9 million and $6.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013. Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and Hollywood Casino Perryville made state income tax payments directly to the state authorities of $0.7 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

This included a payment of $5.1 million directly to Penn for federal and state income tax liabilities incurred prior to the Spin-Off, which Penn will be responsible for when filing its 2013 tax returns.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Our Operations

 

On November 15, 2012, Penn announced that it intended to pursue a plan to separate the majority of its operating assets and real property assets into two publicly traded companies including an operating entity, and, through a tax-free spin-off of its real estate assets to holders of its common and preferred stock, a newly formed publicly traded REIT.

 

The Company was incorporated in Pennsylvania on February 13, 2013, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penn. In connection with the Spin-Off, which was completed on November 1, 2013, Penn contributed to GLPI, through a series of internal corporate restructurings, substantially all of the assets and liabilities associated with Penn’s real property interests and real estate development business, as well as the assets and liabilities of Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and Hollywood Casino Perryville, which are referred to as the “TRS Properties,” in a tax-free distribution. We intend to elect on our U.S. federal income tax return for our taxable year beginning on January 1, 2014 to be treated as a REIT and we, together with an indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, GLP Holdings, Inc., intend to jointly elect to treat each of GLP Holdings, Inc., Louisiana Casino Cruises, Inc. and Penn Cecil Maryland, Inc. as a “taxable REIT subsidiary” effective on the first day of the first taxable year of GLPI as a REIT. As a result of the Spin-Off, GLPI owns substantially all of Penn’s former real property assets and leases back most of those assets to Penn for use by its subsidiaries, under the Master Lease, and GLPI also owns and operates the TRS Properties through an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary, GLP Holdings, Inc. The assets and liabilities of GLPI were recorded at their respective historical carrying values at the time of the Spin-Off.

 

Prior to the Spin-Off, GLPI and Penn entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement setting forth the mechanics of the Spin-Off, certain organizational matters and other ongoing obligations of Penn and GLPI. Penn and GLPI or their respective subsidiaries, as applicable, also entered into a number of other agreements prior to the Spin-Off to provide a framework for the restructuring and for the relationships between GLPI and Penn after the Spin-Off.

 

GLPI’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing, and owning real estate property to be leased to gaming operators in “triple net” lease arrangements. As of June 30, 2014, GLPI’s portfolio consisted of 22 gaming and related facilities, which included the TRS Properties, the real property associated with 19 gaming and related facilities of Penn (including two properties under development in Ohio, Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway and Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course), and the real property associated with the Casino Queen acquired in January 2014.  These facilities are geographically diversified across 13 states.

 

We expect to grow our portfolio by pursuing opportunities to acquire additional gaming facilities to lease to gaming operators under prudent terms, which may or may not include Penn. We believe that a number of gaming operators would like to de-lever or are seeking liquidity while continuing to generate the benefits of continued operations, which may present significant expansion opportunities for us to pursue. Of particular significance, we believe that a number of gaming operators would be willing to enter into transactions designed to monetize their real estate assets (i.e., gaming facilities) through sale-leaseback transactions with an unrelated party not perceived to be a competitor. These gaming operators could use the proceeds from the sale of those assets to repay debt and rebalance their capital structures, while maintaining the use of the sold gaming facilities through long term leases. Additionally, we believe we have the ability to leverage the expertise our management team has developed over the years to secure additional avenues for growth beyond the gaming industry. Accordingly, we anticipate we will be able to effect strategic acquisitions unrelated to the gaming industry as well as other acquisitions that may prove complementary to GLPI’s gaming facilities.

 

In connection with the Spin-Off, Penn allocated its accumulated earnings and profits (as determined for U.S. federal income tax purposes) for periods prior to the consummation of the Spin-Off between Penn and GLPI. In connection with its election to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, GLPI declared a special dividend to its shareholders to distribute any accumulated earnings and profits relating to the real property assets and attributable to any pre-REIT years, including any earnings and profits allocated to GLPI in connection with the Spin-Off, to comply with certain REIT qualification requirements. The Purging Distribution, which was paid on February 18, 2014, totaled approximately $1.05 billion and was comprised of cash and GLPI common stock. GLPI and Penn have jointly requested a Pre-Filing Agreement from the Internal Revenue Service pursuant to Revenue Procedure 2009-14 to confirm the appropriate allocation of Penn’s historical earnings and profits between GLPI and Penn.  The outcome of this request may affect the amount of the dividend required to be paid by GLPI to its shareholders prior to December 31, 2014. See Note 9 for further details.

 

As of June 30, 2014, the majority of our earnings are the result of the rental revenue from the lease of our properties to a subsidiary of Penn pursuant to the Master Lease. The Master Lease is a “triple-net” operating lease with an initial term of 15 years, with no purchase option, followed by four 5 year renewal options (exercisable by Penn) on the same terms and conditions. The rent

structure under the Master Lease includes a fixed component, a portion of which is subject to an annual 2% escalator if certain rent coverage ratio thresholds are met, and a component that is based on the performance of the facilities, which is adjusted, subject to certain floors (i) every 5 years by an amount equal to 4% of the average change to net revenues of all facilities under the Master Lease (other than Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo) during the preceding five years, and (ii) monthly by an amount equal to 20% of the change in net revenues of Hollywood Casino Columbus and Hollywood Casino Toledo during the preceding month. In addition to rent, the tenant is required to pay the following: (1) all facility maintenance, (2) all insurance required in connection with the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties, (3) taxes levied on or with respect to the leased properties (other than taxes on the income of the lessor) and (4) all utilities and other services necessary or appropriate for the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties.  The Casino Queen property is leased back to a third party operator on a “triple net” basis on terms similar to the Master Lease.  The Casino Queen lease has an initial term of 15 years, and the tenant has an option to renew it at the same terms and conditions for four successive five year periods.

 

Additionally, in accordance with ASC 605, “Revenue Recognition” (“ASC 605”), the Company records revenue for the real estate taxes paid by its tenants on the leased properties with an offsetting expense in general and administrative expense within the consolidated statement of income as the Company believes it is the primary obligor.

 

Gaming revenue for our TRS Properties is derived primarily from gaming on slot machines and to a lesser extent, table game and poker revenue, which is highly dependent upon the volume and spending levels of customers at our TRS Properties. Other TRS revenues are derived from our dining, retail, and certain other ancillary activities.

 

Segment Information

 

Consistent with how our Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews and assesses our financial performance, we have two reportable segments, GLP Capital and the TRS Properties. The GLP Capital reportable segment consists of the leased real property and represents the majority of our business. The TRS Properties reportable segment consists of Hollywood Casino Perryville and Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge.

 

Executive Summary

 

Financial Highlights

 

We reported net revenues and income from operations of $160.8 million and $77.4 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $46.1 million and $9.1 million, respectively, for the corresponding period in the prior year. Net revenues and income from operations were $319.1 million and $151.7 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to $88.7 million and $15.9 million, respectively, for the corresponding period in the prior year.  The major factors affecting our results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, were:

 

·                  Rental revenue of $119.7 million and $237.9 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, and zero for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, as we had not yet entered into a lease with Penn or Casino Queen.

 

·                  Increased depreciation expense of $22.7 million and $45.7 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to the real property assets transferred to GLPI as part of the Spin-Off.

 

·                  Interest expense of $29.1 and $58.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, related to our fixed and variable rate borrowings entered into in connection with the Spin-Off. No interest expense was recognized in the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.

 

·                  Increased general and administrative expenses of $13.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, primarily resulting from general and administrative expenses for our GLP Capital segment of $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, which included compensation expense of $3.0 million, stock based compensation charges of $7.1 million, rent expense for those leases assigned to GLPI as part of the Spin-Off of $0.7 million, and transition services fees of $0.4 million. General and administrative expenses increased $28.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily resulting from general and administrative expenses for our GLP Capital segment of $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which included compensation expense of $7.1 million, stock based compensation charges of $13.2 million, rent expense for those leases assigned to GLPI as part of the Spin-Off of $1.4 million, and transition services fees of $1.2 million.

 

·                  Net income increased by $42.3 million and $83.4 million, respectively for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to the variances explained above.

Segment Developments

 

The following are recent developments that have had or will have an impact on us by segments:

 

GLP Capital

 

·                  Operations at the Argosy Casino Sioux City ceased at the end of July, as the result of a ruling of the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission (“IRGC”). Penn challenged the denial of its gaming license renewal by the IRGC but was ultimately ordered to cease operations by the Iowa Supreme Court. This will result in reduced rental revenue in the amount of approximately $2.8 million in the second half of 2014. At June 30, 2014, the real property assets associated with the Sioux City property have been fully depreciated, and no plan to list these assets for sale is in place.

 

·                  On May 14, 2014, GLPI announced that it has entered into an agreement to acquire The Meadows Racetrack and Casino located in Washington, Pennsylvania, a suburb of Pittsburgh, from Cannery Casino Resorts. The 180,000 square foot casino, which opened in 2007, contains 3,317 slot machines, 61 table games and 14 poker tables. In addition to the casino, the property includes 11 casual and fine dining restaurants, bars and lounges, a 24-lane bowling alley and a 5/8 mile racetrack with a 500-seat grandstand. The Company is currently evaluating third party operators for the property, to whom the Company expects to sell the entities holding the licenses and operating assets, while retaining ownership of the land and buildings. The transaction is subject to and requires approval from the PAGCB and the PARC. The Company filed applications/petitions with the PAGCB and the PARC for approval to own and operate the facility in the event that all of the conditions to closing in the Company’s agreement with CCR are satisfied and an agreement with a third party operator cannot be reached on terms acceptable to the Company and/or the PAGCB or PARC do not approve such third party operator.  The transaction, which is expected to be accretive immediately upon closing, is expected to close in 2015.

 

·                  On December 9, 2013, GLPI announced that it had entered into an agreement to acquire the real estate assets associated with the Casino Queen in East St. Louis, Illinois. The casino and adjacent land cover approximately 78 acres and include a 157 room hotel and a 38,000 square foot casino. The transaction closed in January 2014. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.

 

·                  In June 2012, Penn announced that it had filed applications with the Ohio Lottery Commission for Video Lottery Sales Agent Licenses for its Ohio racetracks, and with the Ohio State Racing Commission for permission to relocate the racetracks. In connection with the Spin-Off, Penn transferred these properties to us and we received the appropriate approvals from the Ohio regulatory bodies to participate in the development of the new racetracks. Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, which will be a thoroughbred track and feature up to 850 video lottery terminals, will be located on 193 acres in the Centrepointe Business Park near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Ohio Route 46. Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway, which will be a standardbred track and with up to 1,000 video lottery terminals, will be located on 119 acres on the site of an abandoned Delphi Automotive plant near Wagner Ford and Needmore roads in North Dayton. GLPI’s share of the budget for these two projects is limited solely to real estate construction costs which are budgeted at $100.0 million and $89.5 million for the Mahoning Valley Race Course and Dayton Raceway facilities, respectively, of which $70.0 million and $73.9 million has been paid or accrued through June 30, 2014. On June 30, 2014, Penn announced that pending final regulatory approval, Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway will open its doors to the public on August 28, 2014. Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course is expected to open in mid-September 2014. Both facilities will be added to the Master Lease upon commencement of operations.

 

TRS Properties

 

·                  Hollywood Casino Perryville faced increased competition and its results have been negatively impacted by the opening of a casino complex, Maryland Live!, at the Arundel Mills mall in Anne Arundel, Maryland. The casino opened on June 6, 2012 with approximately 3,200 slot machines and significantly increased its slot machine offerings by mid-September 2012 to approximately 4,750 slot machines. In addition, the Anne Arundel facility opened table games on April 11, 2013, and opened a 52 table poker room in late August 2013. Finally, additional competition is expected for Hollywood Casino Perryville with the August 26, 2014 opening of a new $400 million casino facility in Baltimore City County.

 

·                  In November 2012, voters approved legislation authorizing a sixth casino in Prince George’s County Maryland and the ability to add table games to Maryland’s five existing and planned casinos. The new law also changes the tax rate casino operators pay the state, varying from casino to casino, allows all casinos in Maryland to be open 24 hours per day for the entire year, and permits casinos to directly purchase slot machines in exchange for gaming tax reductions. For our Hollywood Casino Perryville facility, table games were opened on March 5, 2013. We expect Perryville’s tax rate to decrease from 67

percent to 61 percent when the facility directly purchases its slot machines in April 2015. The option for an additional 5 percent tax reduction is possible in 2019 if an independent commission agrees. In December 2013, the license for the sixth casino in Prince George’s County was granted. The proposed $925 million casino, which can not open until the earlier of July 2016 or 30 months after the casino being built in Baltimore opens, will adversely impact Hollywood Casino Perryville’s financial results.

 

Critical Accounting Estimates

 

We make certain judgments and use certain estimates and assumptions when applying accounting principles in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements. The nature of the estimates and assumptions are material due to the levels of subjectivity and judgment necessary to account for highly uncertain factors or the susceptibility of such factors to change. We have identified the accounting for income taxes, real estate investments, and goodwill and other intangible assets as critical accounting estimates, as they are the most important to our financial statement presentation and require difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

 

We believe the current assumptions and other considerations used to estimate amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements are appropriate. However, if actual experience differs from the assumptions and other considerations used in estimating amounts reflected in our consolidated financial statements, the resulting changes could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations and, in certain situations, could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial condition.

 

For further information on our critical accounting estimates, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the notes to our audited consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report. There has been no material change to these estimates for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Results of Operations

 

The following are the most important factors and trends that contribute to our operating performance:

 

·                  The fact that a wholly-owned subsidiary of Penn is the lessee of substantially all of our properties pursuant to the Master Lease and accounts for a significant portion of our revenues. We expect to grow our portfolio by pursuing opportunities to acquire additional gaming facilities to lease to gaming operators under prudent terms, which may or may not include Penn.

 

·                  The fact that the rules dealing with U.S. federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the Treasury. Changes to the tax laws or interpretations thereof, with or without retroactive application, could materially and adversely affect GLPI investors or GLPI.

 

·                  The successful execution of the development and construction activities currently underway at the two Ohio properties, as well as the risks associated with the costs, regulatory approval and timing of these activities. The Company’s ability to locate an operator for the pending acquisition of the Meadows Racetrack and Casino and the risks associated with holding the operations in a TRS.

 

·                  The risks related to economic conditions and the effect of such conditions on consumer spending for leisure and gaming activities, which may negatively impact our gaming tenants and operators.

Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and AFFO

 

Funds From Operations (“FFO”), Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”) and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures 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.

 

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is considered a supplemental measure for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding (gains) or losses from sales of property and real estate depreciation. We have defined AFFO as

 

28



Table of Contents

 

FFO excluding stock based compensation expense, the amortization of debt issuance costs, and other depreciation expense reduced by maintenance capital expenditures. Finally, we have defined Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding interest, taxes on income, depreciation, and (gains) or losses from sales of property, management fees, and stock based compensation expense.

 

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.

 

The reconciliation of the Company’s net income per GAAP to FFO, AFFO, and Adjusted EBITDA for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows:

Net income for our TRS Properties segment decreased by $2.1 million and $3.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to additional competition and increased operating pressure in both markets, as well as interest expense on both our fixed and variable rate debt in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.  FFO for our TRS Properties segment decreased by $2.1 million and $2.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the decrease in net income described above.  AFFO for our TRS Properties segment decreased by $2.4 million and $3.6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the decrease described above, as well as decreases of $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively in depreciation expense at Hollywood Casino Perryville for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, due to certain equipment purchased at opening now being fully depreciated.  Adjusted EBITDA for our TRS Properties segment decreased by $2.5 million and $3.2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the decrease described above, as well as a combination of higher interest expense, lower taxes and no management fees in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

Gaming revenue

 

Gaming revenue for our TRS Properties segment decreased by $4.9 million, or 10.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to decreased gaming revenues of $2.5 million at Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and $2.4 million at Hollywood Casino Perryville resulting from increased competition in both markets. Gaming revenue for our TRS Properties segment decreased by $7.2 million, or 8.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, due to decreased gaming revenues of $5.1 million at Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge and $2.1 million at Hollywood Casino Perryville for the reason described above.

Gaming expense

 

Gaming expense for our TRS Properties segment decreased by $2.2 million, or 8.9%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to a $0.5 million decrease in gaming and admission taxes resulting from decreased taxable gaming revenue at Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge, and a $1.1 million slot tax reduction due to the implementation of table games at Hollywood Casino Perryville. Gaming expense for our TRS Properties segment decreased by $3.8 million, or 7.9%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to a $1.3 million decrease in gaming and admission taxes resulting from decreased taxable gaming revenue at Hollywood Casino Baton Rouge, and a $1.8 million slot tax reduction due to implementation of table games at Hollywood Casino Perryville.

 

Real estate taxes

 

Real estate taxes increased by $12.5 million, or 3066.5%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the real estate taxes paid by our tenants on the leased properties in our GLP Capital segment.  For the same reason, real estate taxes increased by $24.5 million, or 3013.2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.  Although this amount is paid by our tenants, we are required to present this amount in both revenues and expense for financial reporting purposes under ASC 605.

 

General and administrative expense

 

General and administrative expenses include items such as compensation costs (including stock based compensation awards), professional services, rent expense, and costs associated with development activities. In addition, Penn provides GLPI with certain administrative and support services on a transitional basis pursuant to a transition services agreement executed in connection with the Spin-Off. The fees charged to GLPI for transition services furnished pursuant to this agreement are determined based on fixed percentages of Penn’s internal costs which percentages are intended to approximate the actual cost incurred by Penn in providing the transition services to GLPI for the relevant period. Under the transition services agreement, Penn will provide these services for a period of up to two years, unless terminated sooner by GLPI.

 

General and administrative expenses increased by $13.7 million, or 235.4%, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily resulting from general and administrative expenses for our GLP Capital segment of $13.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, which included compensation expense of $3.0 million,  stock based compensation charges of $7.1 million, rent expense for those leases assigned to GLPI as part of the Spin-Off of $0.7 million, and transition services fees of $0.4 million. This was offset by a decrease of $0.1 million in the general and administrative expenses of our TRS Properties from the comparable period in the prior year. General and administrative expenses increased $28.7 million, or 244.1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, primarily resulting from general and administrative expenses for our GLP Capital segment of $28.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, which included compensation expense of $7.1 million, stock based compensation charges of $13.2 million, rent expense for those leases assigned to GLPI as part of the Spin-Off of $1.4 million, and transition services fees of $1.2 million.

Depreciation expense

 

Depreciation expense increased by $22.7 million, or 626.5%, to $26.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the real property assets in our GLP Capital segment transferred to GLPI as part of the Spin-Off.  For the same reason, depreciation expense increased by $45.7 million, or 632.8%, to $52.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

Interest expense

 

For the three months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense was $29.1 million related to our fixed and variable rate borrowings. For the six months ended June 30, 2014, interest expense was $58.1 million related to our fixed and variable rate borrowings. We had no interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Management fee

 

Management fees decreased by $1.4 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2013, due to the management agreement with Penn terminating on November 1, 2013 in connection with the Spin-Off. For the same reason, management fees decreased by $2.7 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013.

 

Taxes

 

Our effective tax rate (income taxes as a percentage of income from operations before income taxes) decreased to 3.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to 39.1% for the three months ended June 30, 2013, primarily due to the Company’s election to be taxed as a REIT for our taxable year beginning on January 1, 2014. For the same reason, our effective tax rate decreased to 3.7% from 40.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. As a REIT, we will no longer be required to pay federal corporate income tax on earnings from operation of the REIT that are distributed to our shareholders. We will continue to be required to pay federal and state corporate income taxes on earnings of our TRS Properties.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Our primary sources of liquidity and capital resources are cash flow from operations, borrowings from banks, and proceeds from the issuance of debt and equity securities.

 

Net cash provided by operating activities was $126.2 million and $6.4 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities of $119.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily comprised of an increase in cash receipts from

 

33



Table of Contents

 

customers/tenants of $231.6 million, partially offset by an increase in cash paid to suppliers and vendors of $36.9 million, an increase in cash paid to employees of $13.1 million, a net increase of $7.3 million related to cash paid for taxes and intercompany federal and state income tax transfers with Penn by our TRS Properties prior to the Spin-Off, and an increase in cash paid for interest of $54.6 million. The increase in cash receipts collected from our customers/tenants for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to six months of rental income of $237.9 million, partially offset by a decrease of $7.5 million in our TRS Properties’ net revenues due to the impact of the previously mentioned competition in their respective markets.

 

Net cash used in investing activities totaled $233.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.  The increase in net cash used in investing activities of $231.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the corresponding period in the prior year was primarily due to a $140.7 million payment associated with the Casino Queen asset acquisition, along with the $43.0 million five year term loan to Casino Queen, less $7.0 million of principal payments, as well as increased capital expenditures of $54.7 million primarily related to construction spend at the two facilities under development in Ohio for the six months ended June 30, 2014.

 

Financing activities used net cash of $136.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013. Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2014 included dividend payments of $329.2 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, net of repayments and financing costs of $175.7 million and proceeds from stock option exercises of $17.5 million.

 

Capital Expenditures

 

Capital expenditures are accounted for as either capital project or capital maintenance (replacement) expenditures. Capital project expenditures are for fixed asset additions that expand an existing facility or create a new facility. Capital maintenance expenditures are expenditures to replace existing fixed assets with a useful life greater than one year that are obsolete, worn out or no longer cost effective to repair.

 

Capital project expenditures totaled $55.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and primarily consisted of $24.7 million and $29.2 million for the real estate related construction costs of the Mahoning Valley Race Course and the Dayton Raceway, respectively.

 

In June 2012, Penn announced that it had filed applications with the Ohio Lottery Commission for Video Lottery Sales Agent Licenses for its Ohio racetracks, and with the Ohio State Racing Commission for permission to relocate the racetracks. In connection with the Spin-Off, Penn transferred these properties to us and we received the appropriate approvals from the Ohio regulatory bodies to participate in the development of the new racetracks. Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course, which will be a thoroughbred track and feature up to 850 video lottery terminals, will be located on 193 acres in the Centrepointe Business Park near the intersection of Interstate 80 and Ohio Route 46. Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway, which will be a standardbred track and with up to 1,000 video lottery terminals, will be located on 119 acres on the site of an abandoned Delphi Automotive plant near Wagner Ford and Needmore roads in North Dayton. On June 30, 2014, Penn announced that pending final regulatory approval, Hollywood Gaming at Dayton Raceway will open its doors to the public on August 28, 2014. Hollywood Gaming at Mahoning Valley Race Course is expected to open in mid-September of 2014. Both facilities will be added to the Master Lease upon commencement of operations. GLPI’s share of the budget for these two projects is limited solely to real estate construction costs, which are budgeted at $100.0 million and $89.5 million for the Mahoning Valley Race Course and Dayton Raceway facilities, respectively, of which $70.0 million and $73.9 million has been paid or accrued through June 30, 2014.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we spent approximately $1.5 million for capital maintenance expenditures. The majority of the capital maintenance expenditures were for slot machines and slot machine equipment at our TRS Properties. Our tenants are responsible for capital maintenance expenditures at our leased properties.

 

Debt

 

The Company participates in a $1,000.0 million senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), consisting of a $700.0 million revolving credit facility and a $300.0 million Term Loan A facility. The Credit Facility matures on October 28, 2018. At June 30, 2014, the Credit Facility had a gross outstanding balance of $476 million, consisting of the $300 million Term Loan A facility and $176 million of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2014, $524 million remained available under the Credit Facility.

 

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the ability of GLPI and its subsidiaries, to grant liens on their assets, incur indebtedness, sell assets, make investments, engage in acquisitions, mergers or consolidations or pay certain dividends and other restricted payments. The Credit Facility contains the following financial covenants, which are measured quarterly on a trailing four-quarter basis: a maximum total debt to total asset value ratio, a maximum

 

34



Table of Contents

 

senior secured debt to total asset value ratio, a maximum ratio of certain recourse debt to unencumbered asset value and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio. In addition, GLPI is required to maintain a minimum tangible net worth. GLPI is required to maintain its status as a REIT on and after the effective date of its election to be treated as a REIT, which election GLPI intends to make on its U.S. federal income tax return for its 2014 fiscal year. GLPI is permitted to pay dividends to its shareholders as may be required in order to maintain REIT status, subject to the absence of payment or bankruptcy defaults. GLPI is also permitted to make other dividends and distributions subject to pro forma compliance with the financial covenants and the absence of defaults. The Credit Facility also contains certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. Such events of default include the occurrence of a change of control and termination of the Master Lease (subject to certain replacement rights). The occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Credit Facility will enable the lenders under the Credit Facility to accelerate the loans, and terminate the commitments, thereunder.

 

The Notes contain covenants limiting the Company’s ability to: incur additional debt and use their assets to secure debt; merge or consolidate with another company; and make certain amendments to the Master Lease. The Notes also require the Company to maintain a specified ratio of unencumbered assets to unsecured debt. These covenants are subject to a number of important and significant limitations, qualifications and exceptions.

 

At June 30, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all required covenants.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

We face market risk exposure in the form of interest rate risk. These market risks arise from our debt obligations. We have no international operations. Our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations is not significant to our financial condition or results of operations.

 

GLPI’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk with respect to its indebtedness of $2,526.0 million at June 30, 2014. Furthermore, $2,050.0 million of our obligations are the senior unsecured notes that have fixed interest rates with maturing dates ranging from four to nine years. An increase in interest rates could make the financing of any acquisition by GLPI more costly as well as increase the costs of its variable rate debt obligations. Rising interest rates could also limit GLPI’s ability to refinance its debt when it matures or cause GLPI to pay higher interest rates upon refinancing and increase interest expense on refinanced indebtedness. GLPI may manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to its borrowings by means of interest rate swap agreements. GLPI also expects to manage its exposure to interest rate risk by maintaining a mix of fixed and variable rates for its indebtedness. However, the REIT provisions of the Code substantially limit GLPI’s ability to hedge its assets and liabilities.

 

The table below provides information at June 30, 2014 about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. For debt obligations, the table presents notional amounts maturing in each fiscal year and the related weighted-average interest rates by maturity dates. Notional amounts are used to calculate the contractual payments to be exchanged by maturity date and the weighted-average interest rates are based on implied forward LIBOR rates at June 30, 2014.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

 

Evaluation of Controls and Procedures

 

The Company’s management, under the supervision and with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), as of June 30, 2014, which is the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014 to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Company in reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated and reported, as applicable, within the time periods specified in the United States Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Company’s management, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
