Gaming & Leisure Properties (GLPI) saw its total revenue climb to US$385.3m in the quarter ending September 30, 2024, up from $359.6m the previous year.
Net income was $190.1m, up from $189.3m, and Adjusted EBITDA was $346.4m, up from $327.1m.
"GLPI’s expansion and growth momentum continues unabated with strong third-quarter financial results reflecting the consistent performance of our legacy tenant portfolio and the addition of two additional tenants earlier this year,” said Peter Carlino, chairman and CEO of GLPI.
“During the quarter we also set the course for continued mid- and long-term growth through the actualisation of several significant accretive transactions with Bally's which we expect will benefit comparisons in the fourth quarter and beyond.
“Third quarter total revenue rose 7.1 per cent year-over-year to $385.3m and AFFO grew 6.8 per cent, highlighting the measured growth of our property portfolio, rent escalations and our discipline around liquidity and our capital structure.
“With our opportunistic approach to portfolio expansion, the proven long-term resiliency of our tenants’ revenue streams, and attractive rent coverage ratios across our portfolio, we expect to continue to deliver strong capital returns and yields for our shareholders. Reflecting these factors, our third-quarter 2024 dividend of $0.76 per share increased from $0.73 per share in the year-ago period and $0.705 in 2022.”
