CEO Comments

Edward Pitoniak, Chief Executive Officer of VICI Properties, said: “In the second quarter of 2020, we posted exceptional financial results with adjusted EBITDA growth of over 20% year-over-year. We worked closely and collaboratively with our tenant partners to provide flexible short-term solutions during unprecedented uncertainty while, we believe, preserving and, ultimately, enhancing long-term stockholder value. During the second quarter, and in July, we collected 100% of our rent, proving the strength and resilience of our business model. We announced $503.5 million of acquisition and investment activity, including the planned purchase of highly strategic land parcels adjacent to the Las Vegas Strip, which we believe provide VICI the opportunity to continue our industry-leading growth for years to come. We also continued to fortify our balance sheet by accessing the equity capital markets, raising an aggregate $662.3 million of gross proceeds through a forward sale agreement. While we are extremely encouraged by early re-opening data across the gaming industry, we will continue to monitor the landscape during this uncertain time and manage our portfolio and relationships to preserve long-term value.”
