Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Business and Operations

Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. ("GLPI") is a self-administered and self-managed Pennsylvania real estate investment trust ("REIT"). GLPI (together with its subsidiaries, the "Company") was incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of PENN Entertainment, Inc., formerly known as Penn National Gaming, Inc. (NASDAQ: PENN) ("PENN"). 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 and then spun-off GLPI to holders of PENN's common and preferred stock in a tax-free distribution (the "Spin-Off").

Since 2021, the Company has been structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of its business is conducted through GLP Capital, L.P. ("GLP Capital"), the day-to-day management of which is exclusively controlled by GLPI. GLPI has no material assets other than its investment in GLP Capital. GLPI issues equity from time to time and is obligated to contribute the net proceeds from those offerings to GLP Capital. As of September 30, 2025, GLPI owned 97.1% of the outstanding units of GLP Capital with the remaining 2.9% owned by third party limited partners who (directly or through affiliates) contributed properties to GLP Capital in exchange for consideration that was partially funded through the issuance of operating partnership units ("OP Units") and holders of long term incentive plan units ("LTIP Units"). The OP Units and LTIP Units once vested are exchangeable on a one for one basis for common shares of the Company. The Company's common stock is listed on the NASDAQ under the ticker symbol GLPI.

All debt of the Company, including revolving credit facilities, term loans and senior unsecured notes, is incurred by GLP Capital and its subsidiaries. GLPI has fully and unconditionally guaranteed all of the Company's outstanding senior unsecured notes.

The Company seeks to provide an opportunity to invest in the growth opportunities afforded by the gaming industry, with the stability and cash flow opportunities of a REIT. GLPI’s primary business consists of acquiring, financing, and owning real estate property to be leased to gaming operators in triple-net lease arrangements. Under these arrangements, in addition to rent, the tenants are required to pay the following executory costs: (1) all facility maintenance, (2) all insurance required in connection with the leased properties and the business conducted on the leased properties, including coverage of the landlord's interests, (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.

As of September 30, 2025, GLPI’s portfolio consisted of interests in 68 gaming and related facilities, the real property associated with 34 gaming and related facilities operated by PENN, the real property associated with 6 gaming and related facilities operated by Caesars Entertainment Corporation (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 15 gaming and related facilities operated by Bally's Corporation (NYSE: BALY) ("Bally's") and 1 facility under development with Bally's in Chicago, Illinois, the real property associated with 3 gaming and related facilities operated by Cordish,1 gaming facility owned by 815 Entertainment, LLC ("815 Entertainment") managed by a subsidiary of Hard Rock International ("Hard Rock"),3 gaming and related facilities operated by Strategic Gaming Management, LLC ("Strategic") and 1 gaming and related facility operated by American Racing & Entertainment ("American Racing").

PENN 2023 Master Lease and Amended PENN Master Lease

On January 1, 2023, the Company amended its original master lease with PENN (the "Amended PENN Master Lease") to transfer five properties to a new master lease (the "PENN 2023 Master Lease"). In addition, the existing leases for the Hollywood Casino at The Meadows in Pennsylvania and the Hollywood Casino Perryville in Maryland were terminated and these properties were transferred into the PENN 2023 Master Lease. Both the Amended PENN Master Lease and the PENN 2023 Master Lease are triple-net operating leases, the terms of which expire on October 31, 2033, with no purchase options, followed by three remaining 5-year renewal options (exercisable by the tenant) on the same terms and conditions.

Rent under the PENN 2023 Master Lease is fixed with annual escalations on the entirety of rent increasing by 1.5% annually on November 1. The rent structure under the Amended PENN 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 revenues of the facilities, which is prospectively adjusted, subject to certain floors (namely the Hollywood Casino at Penn National Race Course property due to PENN's opening of a competing facility) every 5 years to an amount equal to 4% of the average net revenues of all facilities under the Amended PENN Master Lease during the preceding five years in excess of a contractual baseline.

GLPI also agreed to fund certain potential development projects in the PENN 2023 Master Lease. On August 1, 2025, GLPI funded $130 million for the relocation of Hollywood Casino Joliet, which opened on August 11, 2025, and is subject to a 7.75% capitalization rate. The Company also previously funded $5 million to reimburse PENN for land site development costs for the Joliet project. On August 11, 2025, PENN requested $150 million for its M Resort hotel tower project which will be subject to a capitalization rate of 7.79% and is expected to be funded in early November 2025. PENN anticipates completing the relocation of its riverboat casino in Aurora to a land based facility in the first half of 2026. The Company anticipates funding $225 million at a 7.75% capitalization rate. Finally, if requested by PENN, GLPI will fund up to $70 million for the hard construction costs of a hotel at Hollywood Casino Columbus. Rent commences as fundings are made for each project.

Amended Pinnacle Master Lease, Boyd Master Lease and Belterra Park Lease

In April 2016, the Company acquired substantially all of the real estate assets of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. ("Pinnacle") and leased these assets back to Pinnacle, under a unitary triple-net lease, the term of which expires April 30, 2031, with no purchase option, followed by four remaining 5-year renewal options (exercisable by the tenant) on the same terms and conditions (the "Pinnacle Master Lease"). The Amended Pinnacle 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 prospectively adjusted subject to certain floors (namely the Bossier City Boomtown property due to PENN's acquisition of a competing facility, Margaritaville Resort Casino), every two years to an amount equal to 4% of the average net revenues of all facilities under the Amended Pinnacle Master Lease during the preceding two years in excess of a contractual baseline.

On October 15, 2018, the Company completed transactions with PENN, Pinnacle and Boyd to accommodate PENN's acquisition of the majority of Pinnacle's operations, pursuant to a definitive agreement and plan of merger between PENN and Pinnacle, dated December 17, 2017 (the "PENN-Pinnacle Merger"). Concurrent with the PENN-Pinnacle Merger, the Company amended the Pinnacle Master Lease to allow for the sale of the operating assets of Ameristar Casino Hotel Kansas City, Ameristar Casino Resort Spa St. Charles and Belterra Casino Resort from Pinnacle to Boyd (the "Amended Pinnacle Master Lease") and entered into a new unitary triple-net master lease agreement with Boyd (the "Boyd Master Lease") for these properties on terms similar to the Company’s Amended Pinnacle Master Lease. The Boyd Master Lease has an initial term of 10 years (from the original April 2016 commencement date of the Pinnacle Master Lease and expiring April 30, 2026), with no purchase option, followed byfive 5-year renewal options (exercisable by the tenant) on the same terms and conditions. The Boyd 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 prospectively adjusted every two years to an amount equal to 4% of the average net revenues of all facilities under the Boyd Master Lease during the preceding two years in excess of a contractual baseline.

The Company also purchased the real estate assets of Plainridge Park Casino ("Plainridge Park") from PENN and added this property to the Amended Pinnacle Master Lease. The Amended Pinnacle Master Lease was assumed by PENN at the consummation of the PENN-Pinnacle Merger.

The Company also entered into a mortgage loan agreement with Boyd in connection with Boyd's acquisition of Belterra Park Gaming & Entertainment Center ("Belterra Park"), whereby the Company loaned Boyd $57.7 million (the "Belterra Park Loan"). In May 2020, the Company acquired the real estate of Belterra Park in satisfaction of the Belterra Park

Loan, subject to a long-term lease (the "Belterra Park Lease") with a Boyd affiliate operating the property. The Belterra Park Lease rent terms are consistent with the Boyd Master Lease.

On February 12, 2025, Boyd exercised its first 5-year renewal option on both the Boyd Master Lease and the Belterra Park Lease, both of which now expire on April 30, 2031.

In April 2025, PENN announced its intention to relocate its Ameristar Council Bluffs riverboat casino, for which GLPI has committed up to $150 million or the hard costs associated with the project, whichever is greater, at a 7.10% cap rate, which can be structured, at the discretion of PENN, as rent, or a 5-year term loan.

Bally's Master Lease, Bally's Chicago Lease, Bally's Master Lease II, the Amended and Restated Casino Queen Master Lease and the Tropicana Las Vegas Lease

The Company has several leases and development agreements with Bally's. The first lease was entered into on June 3, 2021 and subsequent to this date several additional real estate assets of Bally's have been added to this lease such that it now contains 8 real estate assets of Bally's (the "Bally's Master Lease"). The annual rent on the Bally's Master Lease is subject to contractual escalations based on the Consumer Price Index ("CPI") with a 1% floor and a 2% ceiling, subject to the CPI meeting a 0.5% threshold. The Bally's Master Lease has an initial term of 15 years, with no purchase option, followed byfour 5-year renewal options (exercisable by the tenant) on the same terms and conditions.

This development funding is expected to extend into 2027. The Company will own all funded improvements, which would be leased to Bally’s with rent commencing as advances are made at an annual yield of 8.5%.

On June 3, 2024, the Company announced that it agreed to fund and oversee a landside development project and hotel renovation of The Belle for Casino Queen. GLPI committed to provide up to approximately $111 million of funding for the project, of which $75.6 million has been funded as of September 30, 2025. The landside development is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025. The renovated hotel was opened to the public on March 31, 2025. GLPI will own the new facility. Casino Queen began paying an incremental rental yield of 9% on the development funding effective May 30, 2025. Rent will be deferred on the landside development project until it is ready for its intended use.

On April 16, 2020, the Company and certain of its subsidiaries closed on its previously announced transaction to acquire the real property associated with the Tropicana Las Vegas from PENN in exchange for $307.5 million of rent credits which were applied against future rent obligations due under the parties' leases in effect during 2020.

On September 26, 2022, Bally’s acquired both GLPI’s building assets and PENN's outstanding equity interests in Tropicana Las Vegas for an aggregate cash acquisition price, net of fees and expenses, of approximately $145 million. GLPI retained ownership of the land and concurrently entered into a ground lease for an initial term of 50 years (with a maximum term of 99 years inclusive of tenant renewal options) (as amended, the "Tropicana Las Vegas Lease"). All rent is subject to contractual escalations based on the CPI, with a 1% floor and 2% ceiling, subject to the CPI meeting a 0.5% threshold. The Tropicana Las Vegas Lease is supported by a Bally’s corporate guarantee.

On May 13, 2023, the Company, Tropicana Las Vegas, Inc., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Bally’s, and Athletics Holdings LLC (“Athletics”), which owns the Major League Baseball team currently known as the Athletics (the “Team”), entered into a binding letter of intent (the “LOI”) setting forth the terms for developing a stadium that would serve as the home venue for the Team (the “Stadium”). The Stadium is expected to complement the potential resort redevelopment envisioned at our 35-acre property in Clark County, Nevada (the “Tropicana Site”), owned indirectly by GLPI through its indirect subsidiary, Tropicana Land LLC, a Nevada limited liability company and leased by GLPI to Bally’s pursuant to the Tropicana Las Vegas Lease. The LOI allows for Athletics to be granted fee ownership by GLPI of approximately 9 acres of the Tropicana Site for construction of the Stadium. The LOI provides that following the Stadium site transfer, there will be no reduction in the rent obligations of Bally’s on the remaining portion of the Tropicana Site or other modifications to the ground lease, and that to the extent GLPI has any consent or approval rights under the Tropicana Las Vegas Lease, such rights shall remain enforceable unless expressly modified in writing in the definitive documents. Bally's and GLPI are agreeing to provide the Stadium site transfer in exchange for the benefits that the Stadium is expected to bring to the Tropicana Site. The LOI provides that Athletics shall pay all the costs associated with the design, development, and construction of the Stadium and Bally’s shall pay all costs for the redevelopment of the casino and hotel resort amenities. GLPI is expected to commit to up to $175.0 million of funding for hard construction costs, such as demolition and site preparation and build out of minimum public spaces needed for utilization of the Stadium. The LOI provides that during the development period, rent will be due at 8.5% of what has been funded, provided that the first $15.0 million advanced for the costs of construction of the food, beverage and retail entrance plaza shall not be subject to increased rent. GLPI may have the opportunity to fund additional amounts of the construction under certain circumstances. In addition, the LOI provides that the transaction will be subject to customary approvals and other conditions, including, without limitation, approval of a master plan for the site, and certain approvals by the Nevada Gaming Control Board and Nevada Gaming Commission.

In late August 2024, the Company funded $48.5 million to Bally's that was used to pay for the demolition costs of the Tropicana Las Vegas as part of the development plans for the Stadium and annual rent was increased by $4.1 million as a result. The change in rent terms resulted in a lease reconsideration event that resulted in the lease being classified as a sales type lease, whereas previously it was accounted for as an operating lease.

Morgantown Lease

On October 1, 2020, the Company and PENN closed on their previously announced transaction whereby GLPI acquired the land under PENN's gaming facility under construction in Morgantown, Pennsylvania.

If the CPI increase is at least 0.5% for any lease year, the rent for such lease year shall increase by 1.25% of rent as of the immediately preceding lease year, and if the CPI increase is less than 0.5% for such lease year, then rent shall not increase for such lease year.

2. Basis of Presentation

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 normal recurring adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of GLPI and its subsidiaries as well as the Company's operating partnership, which is a variable interest entity ("VIE") in which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The operating partnership is a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the partnership's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE and the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Company consolidates the accounts of the operating partnership, and reflects the third party ownership in this entity as a noncontrolling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as a separate component of equity, separate from GLPI's stockholders' equity. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company’s net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on the respective ownership or voting percentage in the Operating Partnership associated with such noncontrolling interests and is removed from consolidated income or loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to derive net income or loss attributable to common stockholders. The noncontrolling ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of LTIP Units and OP Units by the total number of units and shares outstanding.

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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2025. The consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual

Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (our "Annual Report") should be read in conjunction with these condensed consolidated financial statements. The December 31, 2024 financial information has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.

The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 of the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report and since the date of those financial statements, the Company has not had any significant changes to these accounting policies that have had a material impact on the Company's financial statements other than what is described below.

Derivative Financial Instruments

During the nine month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company entered into a forward starting interest rate swaps indexed to USD-SOFR, with notionals totaling $300 million all of which hadten year terms. The swaps were designated as cash flow hedges to mitigate the risk of variability in future interest payments associated with the expected issuance of senior unsecured notes.

The derivative instruments were recorded at fair value in either Other Assets or Other Liabilities on the Balance Sheet, with changes in fair value recognized in Other Comprehensive Income (OCI) in the statement of operations and comprehensive income, as the hedge qualifies for cash flow hedge accounting under ASC 815.

The Company formally documented the hedge relationship at the contract's inception, including the identification of the hedging instrument and the hedged expected transaction, risk management objectives, and the method used to assess hedge effectiveness.

The Company evaluates hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis. If it determines that a hedge is no longer highly effective, hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively, and subsequent changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. Amounts previously recorded in OCI are reclassified to earnings as the hedged interest payments are recognized.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company issued $1.3 billion in senior unsecured notes (See Note 7 for additional details) and terminated the interest rate swaps described above. The Company received a net cash payment of approximately $1.0 million which will be recognized as a reduction in interest expense over 10 years.

3. Investment in leases, net

Certain of the Company's leases are recorded as an Investment in leases, financing receivables, net, as the sale lease back transactions were accounted for as failed sale leasebacks due to the leases' significant initial lease terms. Additionally, in 2024, the Company reassessed the Tropicana Las Vegas Lease which resulted in the lease being classified as a sales type lease. The following is a summary of the balances of the Company's Investment in leases, financing receivables and investment in leases, sales type (in thousands).

The present value of the net investment in the lease payment receivable and unguaranteed residual value at September 30, 2025 for the Company's Investment in leases, financing receivables was $2,305.7 million and $82.2 million compared to $2,290.0 million and $77.1 million at December 31, 2024. The present value of the net investment in the lease payment receivable and unguaranteed residual value at September 30, 2025 for the Company's Investment in leases, sales type was $255.6 million and $22.9 million compared to $256.7 million and $21.8 million at December 31, 2024.

At September 30, 2025, minimum lease payments owed to the Company for each of the five succeeding years under the Company's investment in leases were as follows (in thousands):

The Company follows ASC 326 “Credit Losses”, which requires that the Company measure and record current expected credit losses (“CECL”), the scope of which includes our Investment in leases, financing receivables, net, as well as the Company's Real estate loans which are discussed in Note 5. The Company has elected to use an econometric default and loss rate model to estimate the allowance for credit losses, or CECL allowance. This model requires us to calculate and input lease and property-specific credit and performance metrics which in conjunction with forward-looking economic forecasts, project estimated credit losses over the life of the lease or loan. The Company then records a CECL allowance based on the expected loss rate multiplied by the outstanding investment.

Expected losses within our cash flows are determined by estimating the probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) of our instruments subject to CECL. We have engaged a nationally recognized data analytics firm to assist us with estimating both the PD and LGD. The PD and LGD are estimated during the initial term of the instruments subject to CECL. The PD and LGD estimates were developed using current financial condition forecasts. The PD and LGD predictive model was developed using the average historical default rates and historical loss rates, respectively, of over 100,000 commercial real estate loans dating back to 1998 that have similar credit profiles or characteristics to the real estate underlying the Company's instruments subject to CECL. Management will monitor the credit risk related to its instruments subject to CECL by obtaining the applicable rent and interest coverage on a periodic basis. The Company also monitors legislative changes to assess whether it would have an impact on the underlying performance of its tenant. We are unable to use our historical data to estimate losses as the Company has no loss history to date on its lease portfolio. Our tenants were current on all of their rental obligations as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

The change in the allowance for credit losses for the Company's investment in leases is illustrated below (in thousands):

The amortized cost basis of the Company's investment in leases, financing receivables by year of origination is shown below as of September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

The amortized cost basis of the Company's investment in leases, sales type by year of origination is shown below as of September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company recorded a benefit for credit losses of $34.5 million and a provision for credit losses of $47.7 million, respectively, related to investments in leases, financing receivables, and sales-type leases. The benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by an improvement in the third-party forward looking economic outlook used in the Company's CECL reserve calculation compared to what was utilized at June 30, 2025. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the deterioration in the third-party forward-looking economic outlook used in the Company's CECL reserve calculations compared to what was utilized at December 31, 2024.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $27.7 million and $47.2 million, respectively, related to investment in leases, financing receivables. The provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 was primarily due to the initial establishment of reserves on the Tropicana Las Vegas Lease which was determined based on the underlying credit quality of the tenant, a decline in the estimated real estate values underlying the Company's Investment in leases, financing receivables and, to a lesser extent, the Company's real estate loans and loan commitments. The real estate values are estimated based on actual and long term projections of the Commercial Real Estate Price Index which, as of September 30, 2024, have declined relative to December 31, 2023.

Differences in the allowance as a percentage of outstanding financing receivables for leases originated in different calendar years, as shown in the table, reflect various factors, including but not limited to, expected rent coverage ratios and loan-to-value ratios. Future changes in economic projections, scenario probabilities, estimated real estate values, and earnings assumptions at the underlying facilities may result in additional non-cash provisions or recoveries in future periods that could materially affect future results of operations.

4. Real Estate Investments, Net

Real estate investments, net, represent investments in rental properties and the corporate headquarters building (excluding our investments in transactions accounted for as real estate loans and investment in leases, financing receivables and investment in leases, sales-type that are described in Notes 5 and 3, respectively) and are summarized as follows:

As discussed in Note 1, the Company reimbursed PENN $5 million for land site development costs for the new Hollywood Casino Joliet that is being developed. The increase in buildings and improvements relates to the completion of the hotel development for The Belle, along with $130 million funded to PENN for the relocation of the Hollywood Casino Joliet. Construction in progress primarily represents development funding along with related capitalized interest on the Company's development projects.

5. Real estate loans, net

The Company entered into the Rockford Loan to fund the construction of the Hard Rock Casino Rockford in Rockford, Illinois. As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the entire $150 million commitment was drawn. On January 1, 2025, the Company amended the terms of the Rockford Loan to reduce the interest rate to 8% from 10% with a maturity date of June 30, 2026, subject to a 6 month extension.

The Company also entered into the Ione Loan for up to $110 million, of which $39.3 million and $15.2 million was drawn as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The following is a summary of the balances of the Company's Real estate loans, net.

The change in the allowance for credit losses for the Company's Real estate loans is shown below (in thousands):

The amortized cost basis of the Company's real estate loans, financing receivables by year of origination is shown below as of September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

The real estate loans are subject to CECL, which is described in Note 3. The Company recorded a benefit for credit losses of $2.2 million and a provision for credit losses of $7.9 million for the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 2025 on the Company's real estate loans, respectively. The benefit for the three months ended September 30, 2025 was driven by an improvement in the third-party forward looking economic outlook used in the Company's CECL reserve calculation compared to what was utilized at June 30, 2025. The provision for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the deterioration in the third-party forward-looking economic outlook used in the Company's CECL reserve calculations compared to what was utilized at December 31, 2024. The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $2.2 million and $3.9 million for the three month and nine months ended September 30, 2024 on real estate loans.

Additionally, the Company recorded a benefit of $0.7 million during the three month period ended September 30, 2025 on unfunded loan commitments compared to a benefit of $1.2 million and $2.2 million during the three month and nine month period ended September 30, 2024. The reserves for the unfunded loan commitment are recorded in other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and totaled $0.5 million at both September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company's borrowers were current on their loan obligations as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

6. Lease Assets and Lease Liabilities

Lease Assets

The Company is subject to various operating leases as lessee for both real estate and equipment, the majority of which are ground leases related to properties the Company leases to its tenants under triple-net operating leases. These ground leases may include fixed rent, as well as variable rent based upon an individual property’s performance or changes in an index such as the CPI, and have maturity dates ranging from 2038 to 2108, when considering all renewal options. For certain of these ground leases, the Company’s tenants are responsible for payment directly to the third-party landlord. Under ASC 842, the Company is required to gross-up its condensed consolidated financial statements for these ground leases as the Company is considered the primary obligor. In conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, the Company recorded right-of-use assets and related lease liabilities on its condensed consolidated balance sheets to represent its rights to use the underlying leased assets and its future lease obligations, respectively, including for those ground leases paid directly by our tenants. Because the right-of-use asset relates, in part, to the same leases which resulted in the land right assets the Company recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheets in conjunction with the Company's assumption of below market leases at the time it acquired the related land and building assets, the Company is required to report the right-of-use assets and land rights in the aggregate on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Land rights, net represent the Company's rights to land subject to long-term ground leases. The Company obtained ground lease rights through the acquisition of several of its rental properties and immediately subleased the land to its tenants. These land rights represent the below market value of the related ground leases. The Company assessed the acquired ground leases to determine if the lease terms were favorable or unfavorable, given market conditions at the acquisition date. Because the market rents to be received under the Company's triple-net tenant leases were greater than the rents to be paid under the acquired ground leases, the Company concluded that the ground leases were below market and were therefore required to be recorded as a definite lived asset (land rights) on its books.

Components of the Company's right-of use assets and land rights, net are detailed below (in thousands):

Land Rights

The land rights are amortized over the individual lease term of the related ground lease, including all renewal options, which ranged from 10 years to 92 years at their respective acquisition dates. Land rights net, consist of the following:

As of September 30, 2025, estimated future amortization expense related to the Company’s land rights by fiscal year is as follows (in thousands):

Operating Lease Liabilities

At September 30, 2025, payments under the Company's operating lease liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

Lease Expense

Operating lease costs represent the entire amount of expense recognized for operating leases that are recorded on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Variable lease costs are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and include both lease payments tied to a property's performance and changes in an index such as the CPI that are not determinable at lease commencement, while short-term lease costs are costs for those operating leases with a term of 12 months or less.

The components of lease expense were as follows (in thousands):

Amortization expense related to the land right intangibles, as well as variable lease costs and the Company's operating lease costs are recorded within land rights and ground lease expense in the condensed consolidated statements of income.

Supplemental Disclosures Related to Leases

Supplemental balance sheet information related to the Company's operating leases was as follows:

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company's operating leases was as follows:

(1) The Company's cash paid for operating leases is significantly less than the lease cost for the same period due to the majority of the Company's ground lease rent being paid directly to the landlords by the Company's tenants. Although GLPI expends no cash related to these leases, they are required to be grossed up in the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements under ASC 842.

Financing Lease Liabilities

In connection with the acquisition of certain real property assets included in the Maryland Live! Lease and the Strategic Gaming Leases, the Company acquired the rights to land subject to long-term ground leases which expire in June 2111 and April 2062, respectively. As these leases were accounted for as Investment in leases, financing receivables, the underlying ground leases were accounted for as Financing lease liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. In accordance with ASC 842, the Company records revenue for the ground lease rent paid by its tenant with an offsetting expense in interest expense as the Company has concluded that as the lessee it is the primary obligor under the ground leases. The Company's weighted average discount rate on the fixed minimum annual payments was 5.07% to arrive at the initial lease obligations. At September 30, 2025, payments under the Company's financing lease liabilities were as follows (in thousands):

7. Long-term Debt

Long-term debt is as follows:

The following is a schedule of future minimum repayments of long-term debt as of September 30, 2025 (in thousands):

Senior Unsecured Amended Credit Agreement

The Company has a Senior Unsecured Amended Credit Agreement (the "Amended Credit Agreement") providing for a revolving commitment capacity of $2.09 billion with a maturity date of December 2, 2028 (the "Revolver"). GLP Capital is the primary obligor under the Senior Unsecured Credit Agreement, which is guaranteed by GLPI.

At September 30, 2025, $332.5 million was outstanding under the Company's Revolver. After giving effect to contingent obligations under letters of credit with face amounts aggregating approximately $0.4 million, the Company had $1,757.2 million of available borrowing capacity under the Revolver as of September 30, 2025. The weighted average interest rate under the Revolver and term loan credit facility at September 30, 2025 was 5.46%.

Term Loan Credit Facility

On September 2, 2022, GLP Capital entered into a term loan credit agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent and the other agents and lenders party thereto from time to time, providing for a $600 million delayed draw credit facility with a maturity date of September 2, 2027 (the "Term Loan Credit Facility"). The Term Loan Credit Facility is guaranteed by GLPI. The Company drew down the entire $600 million Term Loan Credit Facility in connection with the acquisition of the real property assets of Bally's Biloxi and Bally's Tiverton.

Senior Unsecured Notes

At September 30, 2025, the Company had $6,350.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes (the "Senior Notes"). During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company redeemed its $850 million,5.250% senior unsecured notes due June 2025, and its $975 million,5.375% senior unsecured notes due April 2026. The notes were redeemed with cash on hand.

In August 2025, the Company issued $600 million aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior unsecured notes due February 15, 2033, at a price of 99.642% of the principal amount (the "February 2033 Notes"), and $700 million aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior unsecured notes due November 1, 2037, at a price of 99.187% of the principal amount (the "November 2037 Notes"). In connection with the issuances, the Company terminated certain forward starting interest rate swap agreements and will recognize a benefit of approximately $1 million, amortized over ten years as a reduction of interest expense, with respect to the November 2037 Notes. The Company used the net proceeds from the offering to redeem in full its outstanding $975 million aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Notes due April 2026 (the “April 2026 Notes”), including payment of the related make-whole premium. The Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include working capital, repayment of indebtedness, capital expenditures, and development or expansion projects at existing or new properties. The redemption of the April 2026 Notes resulted in the recognition of a debt extinguishment charge of $3.8 million, which consisted of the make-whole premium and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts.

At September 30, 2025, the Company was in compliance with all required financial covenants on its debt obligations.

8. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are classified based upon the level of judgment associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. ASC 820 -Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820") establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes fair value measurements based on the types of inputs used for the various valuation techniques (market approach, income approach, and cost approach). The levels of the hierarchy related to the subjectivity of the valuation inputs are described below:

•Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; these include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals.

•Level 3: Unobservable inputs that reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity.

The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

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.

Investment securities held to maturity

The fair value of the investment (which approximated its carrying value) is based on quoted prices in active markets and as such is a Level 1 measurement as defined in ASC 820. In August 2024, the Company purchased zero coupon United States Treasury Bills of approximately $550 million which matured in January 2025 for $563 million.

Investment in leases, financing receivables, net

The fair value of the Company's investment in leases, financing receivables, net is based on the value of the underlying real estate property the Company owns under these leases. The initial fair value was the price paid by the Company to acquire the real estate. The initial fair value is then adjusted for changes in the commercial real estate price index and as such is a Level 3 measurement as defined under ASC 820.

Investment in leases, sales type, net

The fair value of the Company's investment in leases, sales type, net was initially based on a third party valuation report which utilized both market based and income based valuation approaches to value the underlying land related to the applicable lease at the lease reassessment date. Subsequent changes in the fair value from this date are based on changes in the commercial real estate price index. As such, this was determined to be a Level 3 measurement as defined under ASC 820.

Real Estate Loans, net

The fair value of the Company's real estate loans are estimated based on the present value of the loans' future cash flows using a discounted cash flow analysis. The fair value of the loans is subject to fluctuations from changes in market interest rates at each reporting period and the fair value measurement is considered a Level 3 measurement as defined in ASC 820.

Deferred Compensation Plan Assets

The Company's deferred compensation plan assets consist of open-ended mutual funds and as such the fair value measurement of the assets is considered a Level 1 measurement as defined under ASC 820. Deferred compensation plan assets are included within other assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Long-term Debt

The fair value of the Senior Notes are estimated based on quoted prices in active markets and as such is a Level 1 measurement as defined under ASC 820. The fair value of the obligations in our Amended Credit Agreement is based on indicative pricing from market information (Level 2 inputs).

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

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

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. The majority of these matters are subject to indemnification and defense obligations of our tenants. 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, results of operations or liquidity. 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.

Funding commitments

As of September 30, 2025, the Company has entered into various commitments or call rights to finance/acquire future investments in gaming and related facilities for our tenants. These are detailed in the table below. Our tenants retain the option to decline our financing for certain projects and may seek alternative financing solutions. The inclusion of a commitment in this disclosure does not guarantee that the financing will be utilized by the tenant in circumstances where a tenant has the option. See Note 1 in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

(1) PENN anticipates completing the relocation of its riverboat casino in Aurora to a land based facility in the first half of 2026. The Company anticipates funding $225 million at a 7.75% capitalization rate.

(2) On August 11, 2025, PENN requested $150 million for its M Resort hotel tower project which will be subject to a capitalization rate of 7.79% which GLPI expects to fund on November 3, 2025.

(3) The Company has agreed to fund, if requested by PENN in their sole discretion, on or before March 31, 2029, construction improvements in an amount not to exceed the greater of (i) the hard costs associated with the project and (ii) $150.0 million.

(4) In October 2025, the Company funded $125.4 million on this development project.

10. Revenue Recognition

Lease terms

Under ASC 842, the Company is required at lease inception (and if applicable at a lease reassessment date) to determine the term of the lease. This requires concluding whether it is reasonably assured that our tenants will exercise their renewal options contained within the lease. The initial lease term is a key judgment that is utilized in the lease classification test to determine whether the lease is an operating lease, sales type lease or direct financing lease. The Company currently has not included tenant renewal options in its determination of the initial lease term. The Company assesses whether to include tenant renewal options in its calculation of the lease term based on several factors, including but not limited to, whether its tenants' leases represent substantially all of the tenants' earnings and revenues, the ability of its tenants to sell their leased operations for fair value and whether the initial term of its leases is for a significant period of time.

Details of the Company's income from real estate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was as follows (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2025, the future minimum rental income from the Company's rental properties under non-cancelable operating leases, including any reasonably assured renewal periods, was as follows (in thousands):

(1) Includes a $3.6 million tenant improvement allowance that is being amortized over the life of a tenant lease and excludes deferred income on development projects which are not ready for their intended use.

The table above presents the cash rent the Company expects to receive from its tenants, offset by adjustments to recognize this rent on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also includes the future non-cash revenue it expects to recognize from the fixed portion of tenant paid ground leases in the table above. See Note 3 for the future contractual cash receipts to be received by the Company under its Investment in leases.

The Company may periodically loan funds to casino owner-operators for the purchase of real estate. Interest income related to real estate loans is recorded as revenue from real estate within the Company's consolidated statements of income in the period earned. See Note 5 for further details.

11. Earnings Per Share

The Company calculates earnings per share ("EPS") in accordance with ASC 260 -Earnings per Share("ASC 260"). 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 in accordance with the two class method. The Company's participating securities are related to certain employee equity awards that receive non-forfeitable dividends. Specifically, time based restricted stock awards receive non-forfeitable dividends equivalent to what common shareholders receive during these awards vesting periods. Diluted EPS for the Company's common stock is computed using the more dilutive of the two-class method or the treasury stock method. Diluted EPS reflects the additional dilution for all potentially-dilutive securities. The effect of the conversion of the LTIP Units and OP Units to common shares is excluded from the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share because the exchange of LTIP Units and OP Units into common stock is on a one-for-one basis and all net income attributable to the non-controlling interest holders are recorded as income attributable to non-controlling interests and thus is excluded from net income available to common shareholders. In accordance with ASC 260, the Company includes all performance-based restricted shares that would have vested based upon the Company’s performance at quarter-end in the calculation of diluted EPS.

The following table reconciles the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of basic EPS to the weighted-average common shares outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS for the Company’s common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

(1) During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, these awards which are participating securities were accounted for under the two class method and excluded from diluted shares as they are a separate class.

12. Equity

Common stock issuance

On May 2, 2025, the Company entered into a new continuous equity offering program under which the Company may sell up to an aggregate of $1.25 billion of its common stock from time to time through a sales agent in "at the market" offerings (the "2025 ATM Program"). The issuance of securities through the 2025 ATM Program will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and determinations of the appropriate sources of funding. The Company may sell the shares in amounts and at times to be determined by the Company, but has no obligation to sell any of the shares in the 2025 ATM Program. The 2025 ATM Program also allows the Company to enter into forward sale agreements. In no event will the aggregate number of shares sold under the 2025 ATM Program (whether under any forward sale agreement or through a sales agent), have an aggregate sales price in excess of $1.25 billion. The Company expects, that if it enters into a forward sale contract, to physically settle each forward sale agreement with the forward purchaser on one or more dates specified by the Company prior to the maturity date of that particular forward sale agreement, in which case the aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement will equal the number of shares underlying the particular forward sale agreement multiplied by the relevant forward sale price. However, the Company may also elect to cash settle or net share settle a particular forward sale agreement, in which case cash proceeds may or may not be received or cash may be owed to the forward purchaser.

In connection with the 2025 ATM Program, the Company would engage a sales agent who may receive compensation of up to 2% of the gross sales price of the shares sold. Similarly, in the event the Company enters into a forward sale agreement, it will pay the relevant forward seller a commission of up to 2% of the sales price of all borrowed shares of common stock sold during the applicable selling period of the forward sale agreement.

During the three month period ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold 7,589,487 shares of common stock under forward sale agreements, that will raise gross proceeds of $363.3 million subject to certain contractual adjustments. No amounts are recorded on the Company's balance sheet until the forward is settled (which contractually mature in the third quarter of 2026 but may be settled prior to this time period at the Company's election). Reflecting the impact of these forward sale agreements, the Company has $886.7 million remaining for issuance under the 2025 ATM Program.

On December 21, 2022, the Company commenced a continuous equity offering under which the Company may sell up to an aggregate of $1.0 billion of its common stock from time to time through a sales agent in "at the market" offerings (the "2022 ATM Program"). On June 2, 2025, the Company settled a forward sale agreement and issued 8,170,387 shares for a net sales price of $404.0 million inclusive of certain contractual adjustments. In connection with the 2025 ATM Program, the 2022 ATM Program was terminated.

Non-controlling interests

As partial consideration for the closing of various real property assets over the past few years, the Company's operating partnership has issued OP Units. The OP Units are exchangeable for common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain terms and conditions. As of September 30, 2025, the Company holds a 97.1% controlling financial interest in the operating partnership. The operating partnership is a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary because it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the partnership's economic performance and has the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE that could be potentially significant to the VIE and the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Therefore, the Company consolidates the accounts of the operating partnership, and reflects the third party ownership in this entity as a non-controlling interest in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company paid $6.5 million and $19.3 million in distributions to the non-controlling interest holders concurrently with the dividends paid to the Company's common shareholders, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2025. The Company paid $6.1 million and $18.4 million in distributions to the non-controlling interest holders concurrently with the dividends paid to the Company's common shareholders, during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024.

The Company’s net income or loss is allocated to noncontrolling interests based on the respective ownership or voting percentage in the Operating Partnership associated with such noncontrolling interests and is removed from consolidated income or loss on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to derive net income or loss attributable to common stockholders. The noncontrolling ownership percentage is calculated by dividing the aggregate number of LTIP Units and OP Units by the total number of units and shares outstanding.

Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

As discussed in Note 2, the Company had derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges which it terminated in connection with the August 2025 issuance of Senior Notes. The amount in other comprehensive income before reclassifications is being amortized as a reduction in interest expense over ten years, which was the life of the derivative instruments. The amount expected to be amortized out of other comprehensive income to interest expense over the next 12 months is $0.1 million.

Dividends

The following table lists the dividends declared and paid by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024:

In addition, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, dividend payments were made to GLPI restricted stock award holders in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.6 million. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, dividend payments were made to GLPI restricted stock award holders in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.7 million.

13. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company's Amended and Restated 2013 Long Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the "2013 Plan") provides for the Company to issue restricted stock awards, including performance-based restricted stock awards, and other equity or cash-based awards. Any director, employee or consultant shall be eligible to receive such awards. The Company issues new authorized common shares to satisfy restricted stock award releases.

On June 12, 2025, at the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of GLPI, the Company’s shareholders approved the 2013 Plan to (i) increase the number of shares of common stock reserved for issuance thereunder by 4,500,000 shares, (ii) provide for changes to provisions relating to the reuse of unissued shares, (iii) give the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) and the Compensation Committee of the Board discretion to determine whether and to what extent holders of phantom stock units, if any, will have shareholder rights, and (iv) to remove provisions related to prior plans and awards that no longer apply to the 2013 Plan.

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 of the Company's time-based restricted stock and time-based LTIP awards are equivalent to the closing stock price on the day prior to grant. The Company utilizes a third party valuation firm to measure the fair value of performance-based restricted stock awards and performance-based LTIP awards at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation model.
