Overview If we call it a baker’s dozen and make it a 13-month year—by including December 2017, a truly foundational month in VICI’s development—it was a period in which we began the forging of an institutional-quality commercial real estate company—a truly blue-chip REIT. Those steps included: • Raising $3.1 billion of equity (including $2.1 billion of public equity issued during calendar year 2018 alone, leading all American REITs in primary equity issuance during 2018); • De-leveraging over that same time period from 8.4x Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to 4.2x Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA at year-end 2018; • Acquiring or announcing the acquisition of approximately $2.7 billion of real estate at a blended going-in cap rate of 8.3%; • Diversified our roster of best-in-class gaming operators—announcing two transactions with a new tenant and exceptional operator, Penn National Gaming; and • Increasing our annualized dividend by 9.5% after only two quarters of being a dividend-paying REIT. These were all vital steps in building a foundation of enduring value for VICI’s stockholders. Our Real Estate and Our Tenants In addition to building a foundation of enduring value for our stockholders, one of our most important objectives in 2018 was beginning to help investors answer the question “Just how good is this real estate?” The quick answer? Really good, as in institutional-quality good.
