Edward Pitoniak, Chief Executive Officer of VICI Properties, said, “We’re pleased and proud to report that in the first quarter of 2024, we increased our quarterly revenue by approximately 8% and AFFO per share by over 6% year-over-year. After closing 2023 with our acquisition of the primary leasehold interest in Chelsea Piers, we further expanded our investment into youth sports and recreation through our Homefield Kansas City transaction. We successfully accessed both the debt and equity markets in a time of persistent market volatility, opportunistically executing a $1.05 billion investment grade bond offering at a weighted average interest rate of 5.9% and bolstering liquidity through our ATM program. By quarter end, our capital management efforts put us in a position of strong capital liquidity, with $1.2 billion of cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and unsettled forward equity and $2.3 billion of undrawn revolver capacity.
“Subsequent to quarter end, we have committed to increasing our investment in The Venetian Resort through an agreement to provide up to $700 million to fund extensive reinvestment projects across the marquee Las Vegas property. The Venetian Resort operating team has driven strong performance since VICI and Apollo acquired the property in 2022, and we look forward to supporting our partners as they aim to continue to elevate the guest experience and further maximize the economic profitability of the property. This transaction exemplifies the value of our Partner Property Growth Fund strategy, which we believe is unique to our portfolio. It provides attractive capital deployment opportunities to further invest into our owned real estate and support existing partners as they optimize the operations within our properties.”

First Quarter 2024 Acquisitions and Portfolio Activity
Acquisitions and Investments
On January 23, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a construction loan agreement for up to $105.0 million in financing to affiliates of Homefield Kansas City (“Homefield”) to fund the development of a Margaritaville Resort in Kansas City, Kansas. Simultaneous with entering into the loan agreement, the Company entered into a call right agreement that provides the Company with a call option on (i) the Margaritaville Resort, (ii) the new Homefield youth sports training facility, (iii) the new Homefield baseball center, and (iv) the existing Homefield youth sports complex in Olathe, Kansas. The Company also received a right of first refusal to acquire the real estate of any future Homefield property, should Homefield elect to monetize such assets in a sale-leaseback transaction. If the call option is exercised, all of the properties, including the Margaritaville Resort, will be subject to a single long-term triple net master lease with the Company.
Subsequent to quarter end, on May 1, 2024, the Company announced that it will provide up to $700.0 million of capital to The Venetian Resort Las Vegas ("The Venetian Resort") for extensive reinvestment projects through its Partner Property Growth Fund strategy (the "Venetian capital Investment"). The Venetian capital Investment will be comprised of $400.0 million expected to be drawn in 2024 and an incremental $300.0 million that The Venetian Resort will have the option, but not the obligation, to draw in whole or in part until November 1, 2026. The initial $400.0 million investment will be funded in three quarterly draws based on a fixed funding schedule: $100.0 million in Q2 2024, $150.0 million in Q3 2024 and $150.0 million in Q4 2024. Annual rent under the existing Venetian Resort lease (the “Venetian Resort Lease”) will increase commencing on the first day of the quarter immediately following each capital funding at a 7.25% yield (the "Incremental Venetian Rent"). The Incremental Venetian Rent will begin escalating annually at 2.0% on March 1, 2029 and, commencing on March 1, 2031, will begin escalating on the same terms as the rest of the rent payable under the Venetian Resort Lease with annual escalation equal to the greater of 2.0% or CPI, capped at 3.0%. The Venetian capital Investment is expected to be funded with a combination of cash and proceeds from the partial settlement of the Company's outstanding forward equity sale agreements.
First Quarter 2024 Capital Markets Activity
On March 18, 2024, VICI Properties L.P., a subsidiary of the Company, issued $1.05 billion of investment grade senior notes, comprised of (i) $550.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Senior Notes due 2034 and (ii) $500.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.125% Senior Notes due 2054 (collectively, the "March 2024 Notes"). The adjusted weighted average interest rate for the March 2024 Notes is 5.929%, and the adjusted weighted average interest rate, after taking into account the impact of forward-starting interest rate swaps, is 5.899%. The Company used the net proceeds of the March 2024 Notes offering to redeem its outstanding (i) $1,024.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior exchange notes due 2024 and (ii) $25.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% senior notes due 2024.
From March 2023 through March 2024, the Company entered into seven forward-starting interest rate swap agreements having an aggregate notional amount of $500.0 million. In connection with the March 2024 Notes offering, the Company settled the outstanding forward-starting interest rate swaps for total proceeds of $2.8 million. Since the forward-starting swaps were hedging the interest rate risk on the March 2024 Notes, the unrealized gain, which was recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, will be amortized over the term of the respective derivative instruments as a reduction in interest expense.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company sold a total of 9,662,116 shares under its ATM program at a weighted average price per share of $31.61 for a gross value of $305.5 million, all of which were sold subject to a forward sale agreement. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares at the time it entered into the Q1 2024 ATM forward sale agreement.

Dividends
On March 7, 2024, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.415 per share. The Q1 2024 dividend was paid on April 4, 2024 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 21, 2024 and totaled in aggregate approximately $432.9 million.
2024 Guidance
The Company is reaffirming AFFO guidance for the full year 2024. In determining AFFO, the Company adjusts for certain items that are otherwise included in determining net income attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) financial measure. In reliance on the exception provided by applicable rules, the Company does not provide guidance for GAAP net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of 2024 AFFO to GAAP net income because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount of the change in non-cash allowance for credit losses under ASU No. 2016-13 - Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASC 326”) for a future period. The non-cash change in allowance for credit losses under ASC 326 with respect to a future period is dependent upon future events that are entirely outside of the Company’s control and may not be reliably predicted, including its tenants’ respective financial performance, fluctuations in the trading price of their common stock, credit ratings and outlook (each to the extent applicable), as well as broader macroeconomic performance. Based on past results and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, the impact of these adjustments could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s reported GAAP results. For more information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”
The Company estimates AFFO for the year ending December 31, 2024 will be between $2,320 million and $2,355 million, or between $2.22 and $2.25 per diluted common share. Guidance does not include the impact on operating results from any pending or possible future acquisitions or dispositions, capital markets activity, or other non-recurring transactions.
The following is a summary of the Company’s full-year 2024 guidance:

The above per share estimates reflect the dilutive effect of the 22,856,855 shares pending under the Company's outstanding forward sale agreements as calculated under the treasury stock method. VICI partnership units held by third parties are reflected as non-controlling interests and the income allocable to them is deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to common stockholders and AFFO; accordingly, guidance represents AFFO per share attributable to common stockholders based solely on outstanding shares of VICI common stock.
The estimates set forth above reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release. The estimates set forth above may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors and there can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above.

our ability to exercise our purchase rights under our put-call agreements, call agreements, right of first refusal agreements and right of first offer agreements; our borrowers’ ability to repay their outstanding loan obligations to us; our dependence on the gaming industry; our ability to pursue our business and growth strategies may be limited by the requirement that we distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT and that we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income in order to avoid current entity-level U.S. federal income taxes; the impact of extensive regulation from gaming and other regulatory authorities; the ability of our tenants to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals in connection with the operation of our properties, or the imposition of conditions to such regulatory approvals; the possibility that our tenants may choose not to renew their respective lease agreements following the initial or subsequent terms of the leases; restrictions on our ability to sell our properties subject to the lease agreements; our tenants and any guarantors’ historical results may not be a reliable indicator of their future results; our substantial amount of indebtedness and ability to service, refinance and otherwise fulfill our obligations under such indebtedness;

the impact of changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws; the possibility of adverse tax consequences as a result of our recently completed transactions, including tax protection agreements to which we are a party; increased volatility in our stock price, including as a result of our recently completed transactions; our inability to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT; the impact of climate change, natural disasters, war, political and public health conditions or uncertainty or civil unrest, violence or terrorist activities or threats on our properties and changes in economic conditions or heightened travel security and health measures instituted in response to these events;

our reliance on distributions received from our subsidiaries, including VICI Properties OP LLC, to make distributions to our stockholders; the potential impact on the amount of our cash distributions if we were to sell any of our properties in the future; our ability to continue to make distributions to holders of our common stock or maintain anticipated levels of distributions over time; and competition for transaction opportunities, including from other REITs, investment companies, private equity firms and hedge funds, sovereign funds, lenders, gaming companies and other investors that may have greater resources and access to capital and a lower cost of capital or different investment parameters than us.
Although the Company believes that in making such forward-looking statements its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. The Company cannot assure you that the assumptions upon which these statements are based will prove to have been correct.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
This press release presents Funds From Operations (“FFO”), FFO per share, Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as alternatives to net income or as an indicator of operating performance (as determined in accordance with GAAP). We believe FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of our business.
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is considered a supplemental measure for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. Consistent with the definition used by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit), we define FFO as net income (or loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) gains (or losses) from sales of certain real estate assets, (ii) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) our proportionate share of such adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate.
AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental operating measure to evaluate our performance. We calculate AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO non-cash leasing and financing adjustments, non-cash change in allowance for credit losses, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of real estate investments, amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, other non-cash interest expense, non-real estate depreciation (which is comprised of the depreciation related to our golf course operations), capital expenditures (which are comprised of additions to property, plant and equipment related to our golf course operations), impairment charges related to non-depreciable real estate, gains (or losses) on debt extinguishment and interest rate swap settlements, other losses (gains), deferred income tax benefits and expenses, other non-recurring non-cash transactions, our proportionate share of non-cash adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate (including the amortization of any basis differences) with respect to certain of the foregoing and non-cash adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest with respect to certain of the foregoing.
We calculate Adjusted EBITDA by adding or subtracting from AFFO contractual interest expense (including the impact of the forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks) and interest income (collectively, interest expense, net), income tax expense and our proportionate share of such adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate.
These non-GAAP financial measures: (i) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. In addition, these measures should not be viewed as measures of liquidity, nor do they measure our ability to fund all of our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to our stockholders, to fund capital improvements, or to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Investors are also cautioned that FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share 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.
Reconciliations of net income to FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA are included in this release.
