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 March 31, 2025, GLPI owned approximately 97.0% of the outstanding units of GLP Capital with the remaining 3.0% owned by third party limited partners who 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 our 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 March 31, 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 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 remove 5 properties from it and created 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 including, up to $225 million for the relocation of PENN's riverboat casino in Aurora at a 7.75% cap rate and, if requested by PENN, up to $350 million for the relocation of the Hollywood Casino Joliet, as well as the construction of a hotel at Hollywood Casino Columbus and the construction of a second hotel tower at the M Resort Spa Casino at then current market rates. As of March 31, 2025, no funding has been requested by PENN on these projects.

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 by five 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.

Table of Contents

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

Amended and Restated Caesars Master Lease

On October 1, 2018, the Company entered into a master lease with Caesars, which expires on September 30, 2038, with no purchase option, with four separate renewal options of 5 years each, exercisable at the tenant's option, on the same terms and conditions (as amended, the "Amended and Restated Caesars Master Lease"). The annual rent increases by 1.75% in the seventh and eighth lease years and 2% in the ninth lease year and each lease year thereafter.

Horseshoe St. Louis Lease

The Company has a single property lease with Caesars for the real estate assets of Horseshoe St. Louis (the "Horseshoe St. Louis Lease") which became effective on September 29, 2020, with no purchase option, whose initial term expires on October 31, 2033, with four separate renewal options of five years each, exercisable at the tenant's option. The Horseshoe St. Louis Lease annual rent increases by 1.25% for the second through fifth lease years, increasing to 1.75% for the sixth and seventh lease years and thereafter increasing by 2.0% for the remainder of the lease.

Bally's Master Lease, Bally's Chicago Land 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 by four 5 year renewal options (exercisable by the tenant) on the same terms and conditions.

The Company intends to fund real estate construction costs of up to $940.0 million for the planned Bally's Chicago Casino Resort ("Bally's Chicago"). This development funding is expected to extend into 2027. The Company would own all funded improvements, which would be leased to Bally’s with rent commencing as advances are made. As of March 31, 2025, no amounts have been funded by the Company.

On September 11, 2024, the Company assumed the ground lease between the existing third party and Bally's for approximately $250 million. The ground lease was amended such that the Company receives initial annual rent of $20 million (the "Bally's Chicago Land Lease"). The Bally's Chicago Land Lease is cross-defaulted with the construction development funding agreement. Rental income on the land and development funding is being deferred until the project is substantially completed and ready for its intended use.

On December 16, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of the real property assets of both Bally’s Kansas City and Bally’s Shreveport. The two properties are in a new master lease that is cross-defaulted with the existing Bally’s Master Lease (the "Bally's Master Lease II"). The annual rent is subject to contractual escalations based on CPI with a 1% floor and a 2% ceiling, subject to CPI meeting a 0.5% threshold. Bally's Master Lease II has an initial term of 15 years, with no purchase option, followed by four 5 year renewal options (exercisable by the tenant) on the same terms and conditions.

The Company continues to have the option, subject to receipt by Bally's of required consents, to acquire the real property assets of Bally's Twin River Lincoln Casino Resort ("Bally's Lincoln") prior to December 31, 2026 for a purchase price of $735 million and additional rent of $58.8 million The Company has also been granted a call right to acquire the property, subject only to regulatory approval, beginning on October 1, 2026 at the same terms.

On February 7, 2025, Bally's completed its merger transactions with Standard General and its affiliates, and pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, Casino Queen is now a subsidiary of Bally's.

The Company has a master lease with Casino Queen which became effective December 17, 2021 (the "Amended and Restated Casino Queen Master Lease"). The lease has an initial term of 15 years, with no purchase option, with four separate five year renewal options exercisable by the tenant on the same terms and conditions. Annual rent increases by 0.5% for the first six years. Beginning with the seventh lease year through the remainder of the lease term, if the CPI increases by at least 0.25% for any lease year then annual rent shall be increased by 1.25%, and if the CPI is less than 0.25% then rent will remain unchanged for such lease year.

Table of Contents

On June 3, 2024, the Company announced that it agreed to fund and oversee a landside move 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 $43.5 million has been funded as of March 31, 2025. The landside development is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2025, whereas the hotel opened to the public on March 31, 2025. GLPI will own the new facility and Casino Queen will pay an incremental rental yield of 9% on the development funding beginning a year from the initial disbursement of funds, which occurred on May 30, 2024. 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' existing leases 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. The Company is leasing the land back to an affiliate of PENN for an initial term of 20 years with no purchase option, followed by six 5-year renewal options exercisable by the tenant (the "Morgantown Lease"). 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.

Maryland Live! Lease and Pennsylvania Live! Master Lease

On December 29, 2021, the Company completed its acquisition of the real property assets of Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland and entered into a single asset lease for Live! Casino & Hotel Maryland (the "Maryland Live! Lease"). On March 1, 2022, the Company completed its acquisition of the real estate assets of Live! Casino & Hotel Philadelphia and Live! Casino Pittsburgh and leased back the real estate to Cordish pursuant to a new triple net master lease with Cordish (as amended from time to time, the "Pennsylvania Live! Master Lease").

Rockford Lease and Rockford Loan

On August 29, 2023, the Company acquired the land associated with a casino development project in Rockford, IL, that opened in late August 2024 and is managed by a subsidiary of Hard Rock, from an affiliate of 815 Entertainment, LLC ("815 Entertainment"). Simultaneously with the land acquisition, GLPI entered into a ground lease with 815 Entertainment for a 99 year term (the "Rockford Lease"). The initial annual rent is subject to 2% annual escalations for the entirety of its term.

In addition to the Rockford Lease, the Company committed to provide development funding via a senior secured delayed draw term loan (the "Rockford Loan"). Borrowings under the Rockford Loan were subject to an interest rate of 10% with a 5-year initial term. On January 1, 2025, the Company amended the terms of the Rockford Loan to reduce the interest rate to 8% with a maturity date of June 30, 2026, subject to a 6-month extension. As of March 31, 2025, $150 million was advanced and outstanding under the Rockford Loan. Additionally, the Company also received a right of first refusal on the building improvements of the Hard Rock Casino in Rockford, IL if there is a future decision to sell them once completed.

Tioga Downs Lease

On February 6, 2024, the Company acquired the real estate assets of Tioga Downs Casino Resort ("Tioga Downs") in Nichols, NY from American Racing. Simultaneous with the acquisition, GLPI and American Racing entered into a triple-net lease agreement for an initial 30-year term, with no purchase option, followed by two renewal options of 10 years each and a third renewal option of approximately 12 years and ten months (the "Tioga Downs Lease"). The initial annual rent is subject to 1.75% annual escalations beginning with the first anniversary which increases to 2% beginning in year fifteen of the lease through the remainder of its initial term.

Strategic Gaming Leases

On May 16, 2024, the Company acquired the real estate assets of Silverado Franklin Hotel & Gaming Complex ("Silverado"), the Deadwood Mountain Grand ("DMG") casino, and Baldini's Casino ("Baldini's") from Strategic. Simultaneous with the acquisition, GLPI Capital and affiliates of Strategic entered into two cross-defaulted triple-net lease agreements, each for an initial 25-year term with no purchase option and two ten-year renewal periods (exercisable by the tenant) (the "Strategic Gaming Leases"). The initial annual rent is subject to a 2% annual escalation beginning in year three of the lease and a CPI-based annual escalation beginning in year eleven of the lease, at the greater of 2% or CPI capped at 2.5%.

Ione Loan

In September 2024, the Company entered into a $110 million delayed draw term loan facility with the Ione Band of Miwok Indians (the "Ione Loan") to provide the tribe funding on a new casino development near Sacramento, California. Ione has an option at the end of the Ione Loan term to satisfy the loan obligation by converting the outstanding principal into a long-term triple net lease with an initial term of twenty-five years and a maximum term of forty-five years. These agreements were entered into subsequent to receiving a declination letter from the National Indian Gaming Commission covering the transaction documents, including the long-term lease. As of March 31, 2025, $18.4 million was advanced and outstanding under the Ione Loan which has a 5-year term.

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

Table of Contents

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 months ended March 31, 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.

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.

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

Table of Contents

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 March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

2024	$	278,499	$	(32,838)	$	245,661	(11.79)	%

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses, net of $36.0 million on the Investment in leases, financing receivables and sales types. The reason for the increase was primarily due to a more pessimistic forward looking economic forecast at March 31, 2025 compared to what was utilized at December 31, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a provision for credit losses, net of $22.2 million on the Investment in leases, financing receivables. This was primarily due to a decline in the estimated real estate values underlying the Company's Investment in leases, financing receivables. These values are estimated based on the actual and long term projections of the Commercial Real Estate Price Index which, as of March 31, 2024, declined relative to December 31, 2023.

Additionally, a provision for credit losses of $3.2 million and $1.1 million was recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively, on the Company's real estate loans and related loan commitment (See Note 5 for further details).

The reason for differences in the allowance as a percentage of outstanding financing receivable for leases originated in each calendar year in the table above depends on various factors for the leases such as, but not limited to expected rent coverage ratios and loan to value ratios. Future changes in economic projections, probability factors, changes in the estimated value of our real estate property and earnings assumptions at the underlying facilities may result in non-cash provisions or recoveries in future periods that could materially impact our results of operations.

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):

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities:
Operating cash flows from operating leases (1)	$	415	$	414

(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 March 31, 2025, payments under the Company's financing lease liabilities were as follows (in thousands):



2025 (remainder of year)	$	2,021

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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2025. The weighted average interest rate under the Revolver and term loan credit facility at March 31, 2025 was 5.62%.

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 March 31, 2025, the Company had $6,025.0 million of outstanding senior unsecured notes (the "Senior Notes"). During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company redeemed its $850 million, 5.250% senior unsecured notes due June 2025. The notes were redeemed with cash on hand.

At March 31, 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.

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.

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.

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):


	March 31, 2025				December 31, 2024
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Cash and cash equivalents	$	168,875	$	168,875	$	462,632	$	462,632

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 three months ended March 31, 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 March 31, 2025, we have 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.


Description	Maximum Commitment amount	Amount funded at March 31, 2025
Relocation of Hollywood Casino Aurora	$225 million	None
Relocation of Hollywood Casino Joliet, construction of a hotel at Hollywood Casino Columbus and a hotel tower at the M Resort	$350 million	None
Construction improvements at Ameristar Casino Council Bluffs	(1)	None
Potential transaction at the former Tropicana Las Vegas site with Bally's	$175 million	$48.5 million
Real estate construction costs for Bally's Chicago	$940 million	None
Funding and oversight of a landside move and hotel renovation at The Belle	$111 million	$43.5 million
Construction costs for a landside development project at Casino Queen Marquette	$16.5 million	$0.7 million
Ione Loan to fund a new casino development near Sacramento, California	$110 million	$18.4 million
Call right to acquire Bally's Lincoln	$735 million	None

(1) The Company has agreed to fund, if requested by PENN at their sole discretion, on or before March 1, 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.

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 months ended March 31, 2025 was as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Building base rent	$	299,507

(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 the Bally's Chicago Land Lease as the facility is under development and as such is not ready for its 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. 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 months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

12. Equity

Common stock issuance

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"). Actual sales will depend on a variety of factors, including market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and determinations of the appropriate sources of funding. 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 2022 ATM Program. The 2022 ATM Program also allows the Company to enter into forward sale agreements. In no event will the aggregate number of shares sold under the 2022 ATM Program (whether under any forward sale agreement or through a sales agent), have an aggregate sales price in excess of $1.0 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 2022 ATM Program, the Company engaged 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 months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold 0.2 million shares of its common stock under the 2022 ATM Program which raised net proceeds of $9.0 million. The Company has entered into a forward sale agreement to sell 8,170,387 shares for a net sales price of $409.3 million subject to certain contractual adjustments. Settlement of this forward sale agreement is expected to occur in June 2025. No amounts have been recorded on the Company's balance sheet with respect to these forward sale agreements. Reflecting the impact of these forward sale agreements, the Company had $34.2 million remaining for issuance under the 2022 ATM Program at March 31, 2025.

The forward sale agreements require the Company to, at its election prior to one year from the commencement of each forward sale agreement, physically settle the transactions by issuing shares of its common stock to the forward counterparty in exchange for net proceeds at the then applicable forward sale price specified by the forward sale agreements. The forward sale

price is subject to adjustment on a daily basis based on a floating interest rate factor and will decrease by other specified fixed

amounts.

Until settlement of the forward sale agreements (which contractually matures in the third quarter of 2025 but may be

settled prior to this time period at the Company's election), earnings per share dilution resulting from the forward sale agreements will be determined under the treasury stock method. Share dilution occurs when the average market price of the Company's common stock is higher than the average forward sales price (which is reduced by the maximum specified fixed amounts in the contracts).

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 partial consideration for the closing of the real property assets under the Tioga Downs Lease that occurred on February 6, 2024, the Company’s operating partnership issued 434,304 newly-issued OP units to an affiliate of Tioga Downs which were valued at $19.6 million. As of March 31, 2025, the Company holds a 97.0% 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 $6.3 million and $6.1 million in distributions to the non-controlling interest holders concurrently with the dividends paid to the Company's common shareholders, during the three month periods ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, respectively.

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.

Dividends

The following table lists the dividends declared and paid by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024:

In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, dividend payments were made to GLPI restricted stock award holders in the amount of $0.2 million and $0.2 million, respectively.

13. 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 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.

As of March 31, 2025, there was $7.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for time based restricted stock awards that will be recognized over the grants' remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.53 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $2.2 million of compensation expense associated with these awards, compared to $4.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

The following table contains information on time based restricted stock award activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:


			Number of Award Shares
Outstanding at December 31, 2024			284,843
Granted			191,307
Released			(229,662)

Outstanding at March 31, 2025			246,488

Performance-based restricted stock awards have a three-year cliff vesting with the amount of restricted shares vesting at the end of the three-year period determined based upon 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 total shareholder return of the companies included in the MSCI US REIT index and the Company's stock performance ranking among a group of triple-net REIT peer companies. As of March 31, 2025, there was $18.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, which will be recognized over the performance-based restricted stock awards' remaining weighted average vesting period of 1.81 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2025,

the Company recognized $3.1 million of compensation expense associated with these awards within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income compared to $3.9 million for the corresponding periods in the prior year.

The following table contains information on performance-based restricted stock award activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:


			Number of Performance-Based Award Shares
Outstanding at December 31, 2024			1,537,000
Granted			205,000
Released			(488,500)
Canceled			(11,500)
Outstanding at March 31, 2025			1,242,000

As of March 31, 2025, there was $1.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost for time based LTIP awards that will be recognized over the grants' remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.76 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $2.8 million of compensation expense associated with these awards within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income and noncontrolling interests on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following table contains information on time based LTIP award activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:


			Number of Time-Based LTIP Awards
Outstanding at December 31, 2024			—
Granted			85,000
Released			—
Canceled			—
Outstanding at March 31, 2025			85,000

Performance-based LTIP awards were issued in the three month period ended March 31, 2025 and have a three-year cliff vesting with the amount of LTIP awards vesting at the end of the three-year period determined based upon 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 total shareholder return of the companies included in the MSCI US REIT index and the Company's stock performance ranking among a group of triple-net REIT peer companies. As of March 31, 2025, there was $8.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost, which will be recognized over the performance-based LTIP awards' remaining weighted average vesting period of 2.76 years. For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company recognized $0.8 million of compensation expense associated with these awards within general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of income and noncontrolling interests on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet.

The following table contains information on performance-based LTIP award activity for the three months ended March 31, 2025:

14. Supplemental Disclosures of Cash Flow Information and Noncash Activities

Supplemental disclosures of cash flow information are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2025		2024
	(in thousands)

Cash paid for interest	$	125,872	$	79,034

The increase in cash paid for interest was due to increased borrowings that partially funded our recent acquisitions and prefunding the redemption for our $850 million, 5.25% senior unsecured note that occurred in March 2025.

Noncash Investing and Financing Activities

On February 6, 2024, as partial consideration for the closing of the real property assets under the Tioga Downs Lease, the Company’s operating partnership issued 434,304 newly-issued OP units to an affiliate of Tioga Downs which were valued at $19.6 million for accounting purposes at closing and assumed debt of $63.5 million that was repaid after closing with the offsetting increase to Investment in leases, financing receivables, net.

15. Acquisitions

The Company accounts for its acquisitions of real estate assets as asset acquisitions under ASC 805 - Business Combinations. Under asset acquisition accounting, incremental transaction costs incurred to acquire the purchased assets are also included as part of the asset cost. No acquisitions closed during the three month period ended March 31, 2025.

Prior year acquisitions

On February 6, 2024, the Company acquired the real estate assets of Tioga Downs, in Nichols, NY from American Racing for $175.0 million which comprised of cash, assumed debt that was repaid after closing, and OP Units. Simultaneously with the acquisition, GLPI entered into the Tioga Downs Lease. The transaction was accounted for as a failed sale leaseback and as such the purchase price, along with incremental transaction costs, was allocated to Investment in leases, financing receivables in the amount of $176.4 million.

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 with GLPI, 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, goals and objectives.

•the impact that higher inflation rates and interest rates and uncertainty with respect to the future state of the economy could have on discretionary consumer spending, including the casino operations of our tenants;

•unforeseen consequences related to United States ("U.S.") government, economic, monetary or trade policies and stimulus packages on inflation rates, interest rates and economic growth;

•our ability to maintain our status as a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), given the highly technical and complex Internal Revenue Code (the "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 REIT status;

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

•additional factors as discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the "Annual Report"), in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K as filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

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 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in connection with considering any forward-looking statements that may be made by the Company generally.

Company Overview

GLPI is a self-administered and self-managed REIT headquartered in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania. GLPI was incorporated on February 13, 2013, as a wholly-owned subsidiary of 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 our business is conducted through 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 March 31, 2025, GLPI holds a 97.0% controlling financial interest in the operating partnership.

Business Strategy

We seek 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. Our 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.

Property and lease information

The Company has disclosed the following key terms of its Master Leases and Single Property Leases in the tables below, along with the properties within each lease at March 31, 2025. We believe the following key terms are important for users of our financial statements to understand.

•The Coverage ratio is a defined term in each respective lease agreement with our tenants and represents the ratio of Adjusted EBITDAR to rent expense for the properties contained within each lease. Adjusted EBITDAR is defined in each respective lease but is generally consistent with the Company's definition of Adjusted EBITDA (as defined on page 42) plus rent expense paid to GLPI.

•Certain leases have a Minimum Escalator Coverage Ratio Governor as disclosed below. Before a rent escalation of up to 2% on the building base rent component of each lease can occur, the minimum coverage ratio for these leases needs to be 1.8 to 1 for the applicable lease year.

•The reported Coverage ratios below with respect to our tenants' rent coverage over the trailing twelve months were provided by our tenants for the most recently available time period. GLPI has not independently verified the accuracy of the tenants' information and therefore makes no representation as to its accuracy. Rent coverage ratios are not reported for ground leases and development projects nor on leases that have been in effect for less than twelve months.

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 leases, investment in leases, financing receivables, net, allowance for credit losses, income taxes, and real estate investments 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 condensed 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 most recent Annual Report. There has been no material change to these estimates for the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Executive Summary

Financial Highlights

We reported total revenues and income from operations of $395.2 million and $258.8 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $376.0 million and $257.6 million, respectively, for the corresponding period in the prior year.

The major factors affecting our results for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, were as follows:

Additionally, the three months ended March 31, 2025 benefited by $5.2 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year from escalations on our leases, favorable variable rents of $1.5 million and higher ground rent revenue of $0.8 million. The Company also recognized lower accretion of $1.0 million on its Investment in leases and unfavorable straight-line rent adjustments of $7.4 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

•Total operating expenses increased by $18.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The primary reason for the increase was due to an increase in the provision for credit losses of $16.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025. The provision increase was due primarily from a more pessimistic forward looking economic forecast at March 31, 2025. The Company incurred higher land rights and ground lease expense of $1.7 million due to the acquisition of the assets in Bally's Master Lease II. Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million due primarily from higher stock based compensation expense of $0.7 million. Partially offsetting these increases was a decline in depreciation expense of $0.3 million.

•Other expenses increased by $10.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to higher interest expense of $10.6 million associated with the Company's increased borrowings to fund our recent acquisitions and prefunding the redemption of our $850 million, 5.25% senior unsecured note that occurred in March 2025.

•Net income decreased by $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year, primarily due to the variances explained above.

Results of Operations

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

•We have announced or closed numerous transactions in recent years and expect to continue to grow our portfolio by pursuing opportunities to acquire additional gaming facilities (either existing facilities or new development facilities) to lease to gaming operators under prudent terms.

•Several wholly-owned subsidiaries of PENN lease a substantial number of our properties and account for a significant portion of our revenue.

•The risks related to economic conditions, including volatility in the financial markets, high inflation levels and the effect of such conditions on consumer spending for leisure and gaming activities, which may negatively impact our gaming tenants and operators and the variable rent and certain annual rent escalators we receive from our tenants.

•The ability to refinance our significant levels of debt at attractive terms and obtain favorable funding in connection with future business opportunities.

FFO, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA

Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Adjusted Funds From Operations ("AFFO") and Adjusted EBITDA are non-U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("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, which is used as a bonus metric. These metrics are presented assuming full conversion of limited partnership units to common shares and therefore before the income statement impact of non-controlling interests. 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, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA are non-GAAP financial measures that are considered supplemental measures 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 dispositions of property, net of tax and real estate depreciation. We define AFFO as FFO excluding, as applicable to the particular period, stock based compensation expense; the amortization of debt issuance costs, bond premiums and original issuance discounts; other depreciation; amortization of land rights; accretion on investment in leases, financing receivables; non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities; straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments; losses on debt extinguishment; capitalized interest; and provision (benefit) for credit losses, net, reduced by capital maintenance expenditures. Finally, we define Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding, as applicable to the

particular period, interest, net; income tax expense; real estate depreciation; other depreciation; (gains) or losses from dispositions of property, net of tax; stock based compensation expense; straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments; amortization of land rights; accretion on Investment in leases, financing receivables; non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities; losses on debt extinguishment; and provision (benefit) for credit losses, net.

FFO, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA are not recognized terms under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures: (i) do not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. In addition, these measures should not be viewed as an indication of our ability to fund our cash needs, including to make cash distributions to our shareholders, to fund capital improvements, or to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Investors are also cautioned that FFO, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies, including REITs, due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. Our presentation of these measures does not replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.

The reconciliation of the Company’s net income per GAAP to FFO, AFFO, and Adjusted EBITDA for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:

Net income, FFO, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA were $170.4 million, $234.8 million, $272.0 million, and $360.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, respectively. This compares to net income, FFO, AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA of $179.5 million, $244.4 million, $258.6 million and $333.4 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The decrease in net income of $9.2 million was primarily attributable to increased operating expenses of $18.0 million (which was driven by the increase in provision for credit losses of $16.0 million) and higher other expenses of $10.5 million (driven by higher interest expense to partially finance our acquisitions) partially offset by an increase in total revenues of $19.3 million.

The decrease in FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to the items described above, excluding gains from dispositions of property and real estate depreciation. The increases in AFFO and Adjusted EBITDA were due to the items described above, as well as the adjustments mentioned in the tables above.

Total income from real estate

•Total income from real estate increased by $19.3 million to $395.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $376.0 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. The reason for the increase was primarily due to our recent acquisitions which in the aggregate increased cash rental income by $20.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. Additionally, the three months ended March 31, 2025 benefited by $5.2 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year from escalations on our leases, favorable variable rents of $1.5 million and higher ground rent revenue of $0.8 million. The Company also recognized lower accretion of $1.0 million on its Investment in leases and unfavorable straight-line rent adjustments of $7.4 million compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

In accordance with ASC 842, the Company records revenue for the ground lease rent paid by its tenants with an offsetting expense in land rights and ground lease expense within the condensed consolidated statements of income as the Company has concluded that as the lessee it is the primary obligor under the ground leases. The Company subleases these ground leases back to its tenants, who are responsible for payment directly to the landlord.

The Company recognizes earnings on Investment in leases, financing receivables and Investment in leases, sales type based on the effective yield method using the discount rate implicit in the leases. The amounts in the table above labeled accretion on financing leases represent earnings recognized in excess of cash received during the period.

Operating expenses

Operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Percentage
	2025		2024		Variance		Variance


Land rights and ground lease expense	$	13,555	$	11,818	$	1,737	14.7	%
General and administrative	18,713		17,886		827		4.6	%
Gains from dispositions	(125)		—		(125)		N/A
Depreciation	65,012		65,360		(348)		(0.5)	%

Provision for credit losses	39,246		23,294		15,952		68.5	%
Total operating expenses	$	136,401	$	118,358	$	18,043	15.2	%

Land rights and ground lease expense

Land rights and ground lease expense includes the amortization of land rights and rent expense related to the Company's long-term ground leases. Land rights and ground lease expense increased by $1.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year due to the acquisition of the real estate assets in Bally's Master Lease II.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expenses include items such as compensation costs (including stock based compensation), professional services and costs associated with development activities. General and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. This was due primarily to higher stock based compensation expense of $0.7 million.

Depreciation

Depreciation expense decreased by $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

Provision for credit losses

The Company recorded a provision for credit losses of $39.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to a provision of $23.3 million for the corresponding period in the prior year. As described in Note 3, the Company follows ASC 326 “Credit Losses”, which requires that the Company measure and record current expected credit losses, the scope of which includes our Investments in leases, financing receivables, net as well as the Company's real estate loans and related loan commitment.

The reason for the increased provision during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was due to a more pessimistic forward looking economic forecast utilized in our CECL reserve calculation. Future changes in economic projections, probability factors, changes in the estimated value of our real estate property and earnings assumptions at the underlying facilities may result in non-cash provisions or recoveries in future periods that could materially impact our results of operations.

Other income (expenses)

Other income (expenses) for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 were as follows (in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,						Percentage
	2025		2024		Variance		Variance
Interest expense	$	(97,272)	$	(86,675)	$	(10,597)	12.2	%
Interest income	9,356		9,232		124		1.3	%

Total other expenses	$	(87,916)	$	(77,443)	$	(10,473)	13.5	%

Interest expense

Interest expense increased by $10.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. The increase was due to increased borrowings that partially funded our recent acquisitions and prefunding the redemption for our $850 million, 5.25% senior unsecured note that occurred in March 2025.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership

As partial consideration for certain real estate acquisitions, the Company's operating partnership has issued OP Units. OP Units are exchangeable for common shares of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain terms and conditions. The operating partnership is a variable interest entity ("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 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 Sheets and allocates the proportion of net income to the noncontrolling interests on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

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 $252.5 million and $257.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The decrease in net cash provided by operating activities of $5.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was primarily comprised of an increase in cash receipts from customers of $26.9 million along with decreases in cash paid for operating expenses of $2.6 million and an increase in interest income of $13.2 million. This was offset by increases in cash paid for employees and cash paid for interest of $1.3 million and $46.8 million respectively. The increase in cash receipts collected from our customers for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year, was due to increased rental income from the Company's recent acquisitions and lease escalations and the increase in interest expense was due to increased borrowings that partially funded our recent acquisitions and prefunding the redemption for our $850 million, 5.25% senior unsecured note that occurred in March 2025.

Investing activities provided cash of $534.0 million and used cash of $448.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash provided by investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 primarily consisted of the maturity of zero coupon U.S. Treasury Bills totaling $550.0 million, partially offset by Ione Loan fundings of $3.2 million, and capital expenditures of $12.9 million. The net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 consisted primarily of $93.3 million for the acquisition of the real estate assets which were added to the Bally's Master Lease, the purchase of zero coupon U.S. Treasury Bills totaling $341.0 million and Ione Loan fundings of $14.0 million.

Financing activities used cash of $1,080.3 million and $281.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Net cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2025 was driven by the repayment of long term debt of $850.1 million, dividend payments of $209.1 million, non-controlling interest distributions of $6.3 million, and taxes paid related to shares withheld for tax purposes on restricted stock award vestings of $14.8 million. Cash used in financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2024 was driven by the repayment of long term debt of $63.5 million, dividend payments of $206.6 million, noncontrolling interest distributions of $6.1 million and taxes paid related to shares withheld for tax purposes on restricted stock award vestings of $14.7 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of common stock, net of costs of $9.0 million.

Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are accounted for as either capital project expenditures or capital maintenance (replacement) expenditures. Capital project expenditures are for fixed asset additions that expand an existing facility or create a new facility. The cost of properties developed by the Company include costs of construction, property taxes, interest and other miscellaneous costs incurred during the development period until the project is substantially complete and available for occupancy. 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.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we spent approximately $12.9 million and $0.1 million, respectively, for capital expenditures. The majority of the capital expenditures in 2025 were related to a land side and hotel development project at The Belle.

Debt

The Company has access to a $2.09 billion variable rate revolving credit facility under its credit Agreement, as amended (the "Amended Credit Agreement") of which $332.5 million is outstanding as of March 31, 2025. Additionally, the Company was contingently obligated under letters of credit issued pursuant to the Amended Credit Agreement with face amounts aggregating approximately $0.4 million, resulting in $1,757.2 million of available borrowing capacity under the Amended Credit Agreement as of March 31, 2025.

The Company has $6.89 billion of debt outstanding with a weighted average maturity and interest rate of 6.3 years and 5.06%, respectively as of March 31, 2025. The majority of the Company's debt obligations have fixed interest rates from the issuance of its senior unsecured notes. During the three month period ended March 31, 2025, the Company redeemed its $850 million 5.250% note that was due in June 2025. See Note 7 for the future minimum repayments of the Company's debt obligations.

GLPI owns 97.0% of the assets of GLP Capital and conducts all of its operations through the operating partnership. Based on the amendments to Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X that the SEC released on January 4, 2021, we note that since GLPI fully and unconditionally guarantees the debt securities of the Issuers and consolidates both Issuers, we are not required to provide separate financial statements for the Issuers and GLPI since they are consolidated into GLPI and the GLPI guarantee is "full and unconditional".

Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi), we excluded the summarized financial information for the Issuers because the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Issuers and GLPI are not materially different than the corresponding amounts in GLPI's consolidated financial statements and we believe such summarized financial information would be repetitive and would not provide incremental value to investors.

Distribution Requirements

We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains, in order to qualify to be taxed as a REIT (assuming that certain other requirements are also satisfied) so that U.S. federal corporate income tax does not apply to earnings that we distribute. Such distributions generally can be made with cash and/or a combination of cash and Company common stock if certain requirements are met. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement and qualify for taxation as a REIT but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and including any net capital gains, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed net taxable income. In addition, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to our shareholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under U.S. federal income tax laws. We intend to make distributions to our shareholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code. To the extent any of the Company's taxable income was not previously distributed, the Company will make a dividend declaration pursuant to Section 858(a)(1) of the Code, allowing the Company to treat certain dividends that are to be distributed after the close of a taxable year as having been paid during the taxable year.

Outlook

Based on our current level of operations and anticipated earnings, we believe that cash generated from operations and cash on hand, together with amounts available under our Amended Credit Agreement and our ability to raise equity proceeds (including the Company's forward sale agreement that is anticipated to be settled in June of 2025), will be adequate to meet our anticipated debt service requirements, funding commitments, capital expenditures, working capital needs and dividend requirements for the next twelve months and beyond.

In late December 2022, the Company refreshed its ATM capacity to $1 billion (the "2022 ATM Program"). As of March 31, 2025, the Company had $34.2 million remaining for issuance under the 2022 ATM Program. Once the 2022 ATM Program is exhausted, the Company would expect to enter into a new program.

We expect the majority of our future growth to come from funding commitments to our tenants and acquisitions of gaming and other properties to lease to third parties. If we consummate significant transactions in the future, our cash requirements may increase significantly and we would likely need to raise additional proceeds through a combination of either common equity (including under our 2022 ATM Program and future ATM programs that we would expect to enter into once the 2022 ATM Program is fully utilized), issuance of additional OP Units, and/or debt offerings. Our future operating performance and our ability to service or refinance our debt will be subject to future economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. See "Risk Factors-Risks Related to Our Capital Structure" in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for a discussion of the risk related to our capital structure.

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 $6,957.7 million at March 31, 2025. Furthermore, $6,025.0 million of our obligations at March 31, 2025 are the senior unsecured notes that have fixed interest rates with maturity dates ranging from April 15, 2026 to September 15, 2054. 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. However, the provisions of the Code applicable to REITs limit GLPI’s ability to hedge its assets and liabilities.

The table below provides information at March 31, 2025 about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates.

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 March 31, 2025, 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 March 31, 2025 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

During the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we completed the implementation of a new general ledger system which constituted a change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Management has taken appropriate steps to test and validate the design and operational effectiveness of the controls associated with the new system.

There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) 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.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

c) Insider Trading Arrangements and Policies

On March 14, 2025, Steven Ladany, the Company's Senior Vice President and Chief Development Officer, entered into a pre-arranged written stock sale plan in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 (the “Ladany Rule 10b5-1 Plan”) under the Exchange Act for the sale of shares of the Company’s common stock. The Ladany Rule 10b5-1 Plan was entered into during an open trading window in accordance with the Company’s policies regarding transactions in the Company’s securities and is intended to satisfy the affirmative defense of Rule 10b5-1(c) under the Exchange Act. The Ladany Rule 10b5-1 Plan provides for the potential sale of shares of the Company’s common stock, including upon the vesting and settlement of restricted stock awards, between January 2, 2026 and January 30, 2026. The aggregate number of shares of common stock that will be available for sale under the Ladany Rule 10b5-1 Plan is not yet determinable because certain awards are subject to Company performance award metrics and will be net of shares sold to satisfy tax withholding obligations that arise in connection with the vesting and settlement of such restricted stock awards. As such, for purposes of this disclosure, the aggregate number of shares of common stock available for sale prior to tax withholding on vested shares is 70,000.

The Ladany Rule 10b5-1 Plan includes a representation from Mr. Ladany to the broker administering the plan that he was not in possession of any material nonpublic information regarding the Company or the securities subject to the Ladany Rule 10b5-1 Plan at the time it was entered into. A similar representation was made to the Company in connection with the adoption of the Ladany Rule 10b5-1 Plan under the Company’s policies regarding transactions in the Company’s securities. Those representations were made as of the date of adoption of the Ladany Rule 10b5-1 Plan, and speak only as of such date. In making those representations, there is no assurance with respect to any material nonpublic information of which Mr. Ladany was unaware, or with respect to any material nonpublic information acquired by Mr. Ladany or the Company after the date of the representation.
