NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

In these notes, the words the “Company,” “VICI,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to VICI Properties Inc. and its subsidiaries, including VICI LP, on a consolidated basis, unless otherwise stated or the context requires otherwise.

We refer to (i) our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as our “Financial Statements,” (ii) our Consolidated Balance Sheets as our “Balance Sheet,” (iii) our Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income as our “Statement of Operations,” and (iv) our Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as our “Statement of Cash Flows.” References to numbered “Notes” refer to the Notes to our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 1 — Business and Organization

Business

We are primarily engaged in the business of owning and acquiring gaming, hospitality, wellness, entertainment and leisure destinations, subject to long-term triple-net leases. As of March 31, 2026, we own 93 experiential assets across a geographically diverse portfolio consisting of 54 gaming properties and 39 other experiential properties across the United States and Canada, including Caesars Palace Las Vegas, MGM Grand and the Venetian Resort Las Vegas (the “Venetian Resort”). Our gaming and entertainment facilities are leased to leading brands that seek to drive consumer loyalty and value with guests through superior services, experiences, products and continuous innovation. VICI also owns four championship golf courses, which are managed by Cabot-Managed Properties and are located near certain of our properties.

VICI Properties Inc., the parent company, is a Maryland corporation and internally managed REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our real property business, which represents the substantial majority of our assets, is conducted through VICI OP and indirectly through VICI LP, and our golf course business, VICI Golf, is conducted through a direct wholly owned TRS of VICI. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income taxes on our taxable income to the extent that we annually distribute substantially all of our net taxable income to stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), as published by the Financial Accounting Standards Board, and with the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Financial Statements, including the notes thereto, are unaudited and condense or exclude some of the disclosures and information normally required in audited financial statements.

We believe the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the accompanying unaudited Financial Statements and related notes should be read in conjunction with our audited financial statements and notes thereto included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as updated from time to time in our other filings with the SEC.

All adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included and are of a normal and recurring nature. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.

Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

Principles of Consolidation and Non-controlling Interest

The accompanying Financial Statements include our accounts and the accounts of VICI LP, and the subsidiaries in which we or VICI LP has a controlling interest. The operating partnership, VICI OP, is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) of which we are the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the entity that has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could be significant to the VIE. Substantially all of our assets and liabilities relate to VICI LP, whose limited partnership interest is 100% owned by VICI OP. Therefore, we consolidate the accounts of VICI LP and reflect the third-party ownership in VICI OP as a non-controlling interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. All intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Non-controlling Interests

We present non-controlling interests and classify such interests as a component of consolidated stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, separate from VICI stockholders’ equity and VICI LP partners’ capital. As of March 31, 2026, VICI’s non-controlling interests were comprised of (i) an approximately 1.1% third-party ownership of VICI OP in the form of VICI OP Units, (ii) a 20% third-party ownership of Harrah’s Joliet LandCo LLC, the entity that owns the Harrah’s Joliet facility and is the lessor under the related lease agreement with Caesars Entertainment, Inc. (together with, as the context requires, its subsidiaries, “Caesars”) for such facility (the “Joliet Lease”) and (iii) a third-party minority equity interest, in the form of Class A Units, of VICI Bowl HoldCo LLC (“Lucky Strike OP Units”), the entity that (a) owns the portfolio of bowling entertainment centers leased to Lucky Strike Entertainment Corporation (“Lucky Strike Entertainment”) and (b) is the lessor under the related Lucky Strike Entertainment master lease agreement, which interest entitles the non-controlling interest holder to a preferred return that currently approximates 4.0% of the entity’s cash flows.

VICI LP’s non-controlling interests are the third-party ownership interests in Harrah’s Joliet LandCo LLC and VICI Bowl HoldCo LLC referenced above.

Reportable Segments

Our operations consist of real estate investment activities, which represent substantially all of our business. The operating results are regularly reviewed, on a consolidated basis, by the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”) and are considered to be one operating segment. Accordingly, all operations have been considered to represent one reportable segment.

Refer to Note 14 - Segment Information for further information.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash

Cash consists of cash-on-hand and cash-in-bank. Highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less from the date of purchase are considered cash equivalents and are carried at cost, which approximates fair value. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we did not have any restricted cash.

Short-Term Investments

Investments with an original maturity of greater than three months and less than one year from the date of purchase are considered short-term investments and are stated at fair value.

We may invest our excess cash in short-term investment grade commercial paper as well as discount notes issued by government-sponsored enterprises including the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and certain of the Federal Home Loan Banks. These investments generally have original maturities between 91 and 180 days and are accounted for as available for sale securities. Interest on our short-term investments is recognized as interest income in our Statement of Operations. We had $44.5 million of short-term investments as of December 31, 2025. We did not have any short-term investments as of March 31, 2026.

Purchase Accounting

We assess all of our property acquisitions under ASC 805 “Business Combinations” (“ASC 805”) to determine if such acquisitions should be accounted for as a business combination or an asset acquisition. Under ASC 805, an acquisition does not qualify as a business combination when (i) substantially all of the fair value is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or group of similar identifiable assets, (ii) the acquisition does not include a substantive process in the form of an acquired

VICI PROPERTIES INC. AND VICI PROPERTIES L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

workforce or (iii) the acquisition does not include an acquired contract that cannot be replaced without significant cost, effort or delay. Generally, and to date, all of our acquisitions have been determined to be asset acquisitions and, in accordance with ASC 805-50, all applicable transaction costs are capitalized as part of the purchase price of the acquisition.

We allocate the purchase price, including the costs incurred to acquire the assets, to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as applicable, using their relative fair value. Generally, the assets acquired are comprised of land, building and site improvements and in certain instances, such as our acquisition of MGM Growth Properties LLC (“MGP”) and the acquisition of the remaining interest of the joint venture that holds the real estate assets of MGM Grand Las Vegas and Mandalay Bay, existing leases and/or debt. Further, since all the components of our leases are classified as sales-type leases or financing receivables, as further described below, the assets acquired are transferred into the net investment in lease or financing receivable, as applicable.

Investments in Leases - Sales-type, Net

We account for our investments in leases under ASC 842 “Leases” (“ASC 842”). Upon lease inception or lease modification, we assess lease classification to determine whether the lease should be classified as a direct financing, sales-type or operating lease. As required by ASC 842, we separately assess each lease component of the property, generally comprised of land and building, to determine the classification. If the lease component is determined to be a direct financing or sales-type lease, we record a net investment in the lease, which is equal to the sum of the lease receivable and the unguaranteed residual asset, discounted at the rate implicit in the lease, net of allowance for credit losses. Any difference between the fair value of the asset and the net investment in the lease is considered selling profit or loss and is either recognized upon execution of the lease or deferred and recognized over the life of the lease, depending on the classification of the lease. Since we purchase properties and simultaneously enter into new leases directly with the tenants, the net investment in the lease is generally equal to the purchase price of the asset and, accordingly, no profit or loss is recognized. In addition, due to the long-term nature of our leases, the land and building components of an investment generally have the same lease classification.

Investments in Leases - Financing Receivables, Net

In accordance with ASC 842, for transactions in which we enter into a contract to acquire an asset and lease it back to the seller under a lease classified as a sales-type lease (i.e., a sale leaseback transaction), control of the asset is not considered to have transferred to us. As a result, we do not recognize the net investment in the lease but instead recognize a financial asset in accordance with ASC 310 “Receivables” (“ASC 310”); however, the accounting for the financing receivable under ASC 310 is materially consistent with the accounting for our investments in leases - sales-type under ASC 842.

Lease Term

Under ASC 842, at the inception of a lease or upon a lease modification, we assess the noncancelable lease term, which includes any reasonably certain renewal periods. All of our lease agreements provide for an initial term, with one or more tenant renewal options.

In relation to our gaming assets and certain other irreplaceable real estate, upon lease inception or modification, we have generally concluded that the lease term includes all of the periods covered by extension options as it was reasonably certain at such time that our tenants would renew the lease agreements. At such time, we believed our tenants were economically compelled to renew the lease agreements due to the importance of our real estate to the operation of their business, the significant capital they have invested and are required to invest in our properties under the terms of the lease agreements and the lack of suitable replacement assets.

Income from Leases and Lease Financing Receivables

We recognize the related income from our sales-type leases and lease financing receivables on an effective interest basis at a constant rate of return over the terms of the applicable leases based on the future minimum lease payments. As a result, the cash payments accounted for under sales-type leases and lease financing receivables will not equal income from our lease agreements. Rather, a portion of the cash rent we receive is recorded as Income from sales-type leases or Income from lease financing receivables, loans and securities, as applicable, in our Statement of Operations and a portion is recorded as a change to Investments in leases - sales-type, net or Investments in leases - financing receivables, net, as applicable.

VICI PROPERTIES INC. AND VICI PROPERTIES L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

Contingent rent, which is generally comprised of amounts in excess of specified floors or the variable rent portion of our leases, is recognized as income in the period in which the changes in facts and circumstances giving rise to such contingent rent or variable lease payments occur.

Initial direct costs incurred in connection with entering into investments classified as sales-type leases are included in the balance of the net investment in the lease. Such amounts will be recognized as a reduction to Income from investments in leases over the life of the lease using the effective interest method. Costs that would have been incurred regardless of whether the lease was signed, such as legal fees and certain other third-party fees, are expensed as incurred to Transaction and acquisition expenses in our Statement of Operations.

Origination fees and costs incurred in connection with entering into investments classified as lease financing receivables are included in the balance of the net investment and such amounts will be recognized as an adjustment to Income from investments in loans and lease financing receivables over the life of the lease using the effective interest method.

Investments in Loans and Securities, net

Investments in loans are held-for-investment and are carried at historical cost, inclusive of unamortized loan origination costs and fees and net of allowances for credit losses. Income is recognized on an effective interest basis at a constant rate of return over the life of the related loan.

Certain of our investments in loans contain provisions for paid-in-kind (“PIK”) interest, whereby contractual interest is added to the outstanding principal balance of the investment instead of being paid in cash when due. We recognize PIK interest as income in the period earned, with a corresponding increase to the carrying value of the related investment.

We classify our investments in securities on the date of acquisition of the investment as either trading, available-for-sale or held-to-maturity. We classify our debt securities as held-to-maturity, as we have the intent and ability to hold this security until maturity, the accounting of which is materially consistent with that of our Investments in loans.

We evaluate our loans on an individual basis to determine whether a loan should be placed on nonaccrual. We place loans on nonaccrual (i) if there is a significant deterioration in credit quality or (ii) once reasonable doubt exists about the collectability of the principal and interest due.

Allowance for Credit Losses

ASC 326 “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses” (“ASC 326”) requires that we measure and record current expected credit losses (“CECL”) for the majority of our investments, the scope of which includes our Investments in leases - sales-type, Investments in leases - financing receivables and Investments in loans and securities.

Investments in Leases

In relation to our lease portfolio, we have elected to use a discounted cash flow model to estimate the allowance for credit losses, or CECL allowance, for our Investments in leases - sales-type and Investments in leases - financing receivables, which comprise the substantial majority of our CECL allowance. This model requires us to develop cash flows that project estimated credit losses over the life of the lease and discount these cash flows at the investment’s effective interest rate. We then record a CECL allowance equal to the difference between the amortized cost basis of the investment and the present value of the expected credit loss cash flows.

Expected losses within our cash flows are determined by estimating the probability of default (“PD”) and loss given default (“LGD”) of our tenants and their parent guarantors, as applicable, over the life of each individual lease or financial investment. We have engaged a nationally recognized data analytics firm to assist us with estimating both the PD and LGD of our tenants and their parent guarantors, as applicable. The PD and LGD are estimated during a reasonable and supportable period for which we believe we are able to estimate future economic conditions (the “R&S Period”) and a long-term period for which we revert to long-term historical averages (the “Long-Term Period”). The PD and LGD estimates for the R&S Period are developed using the current financial condition of the tenant and parent guarantor, as applicable, and applied to a projection of economic conditions over a two-year term. The PD and LGD for the Long-Term Period are estimated using the average historical default rates and historical loss rates, respectively, of public companies over approximately the past 40 years that have similar credit profiles or characteristics to our tenants and their parent guarantors, as applicable. We are unable to use our historical data to estimate losses as we have no loss history to date.

VICI PROPERTIES INC. AND VICI PROPERTIES L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

Investments in Loans

In relation to our loan portfolio, we engage a nationally recognized data analytics firm to provide loan level market data and a forward-looking commercial real estate loss forecasting tool. The credit loss model generates the PD and LGD using sub-market loan-level data and the estimated fair value of collateral to generate net operating income and forecast the expected loss for each loan.

Unfunded Commitments

We are required to estimate a CECL allowance related to contractual commitments to extend credit, such as future funding commitments under a revolving credit facility, delayed draw term loan, construction loan or through commitments made to our tenants to fund the development and construction of improvements at our properties. We estimate the amount that we will fund for each contractual commitment based on (i) discussions with our borrowers and tenants, (ii) our borrowers’ and tenants’ business plans and financial condition and (iii) other relevant factors. Based on these considerations, we apply a CECL allowance to the estimated amount of credit we expect to extend. The CECL allowance for unfunded commitments is calculated using the same methodology as the allowance for the respective investments subject to the CECL model. The CECL allowance related to these future commitments is recorded as a component of Other liabilities on our Balance Sheet.

Presentation

The initial CECL allowance is recorded as a reduction to our net Investments in leases - sales-type, Investments in leases - financing receivables, Investments in loans and securities and Sales-type sub-leases (included in Other assets) on our Balance Sheet. We are required to update our CECL allowance on a quarterly basis with the resulting change being recorded in the Statement of Operations for the relevant period. Finally, each time we make a new investment in an asset subject to ASC 326, we are required to record an initial CECL allowance for such asset, which results in a non-cash charge to the Statement of Operations for the relevant period.

Write-offs of our investments in leases and loans are deducted from the allowance in the period in which they are deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of amounts previously written off are recorded when received. There were no charge-offs or recoveries for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Refer to Note 5 - Allowance for Credit Losses for further information.

Foreign Currency Translation and Remeasurement

Our investments in our Canadian gaming assets and certain of our loans are denominated in foreign currencies and, accordingly, we translate the financial statements of the subsidiaries that own such assets into U.S. Dollars (“USD” or “US$”) when we consolidate their financial results and position. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in effect at the date of the Balance Sheet and the resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income in the Balance Sheet. Certain balance sheet items, primarily equity and capital-related accounts, are reflected at the historical exchange rate. Income Statement accounts are translated using the average exchange rate for the period.

We and certain of our consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany and third-party debt that is denominated in foreign currencies, which are neither our nor our consolidated subsidiaries’ functional currency of USD. When the debt and related operating receivables and/or payables are remeasured to the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. The resulting adjustment is reflected in Other gains (losses), net in the Statement of Operations.

Other Income and Other Expenses

Other income primarily represents sub-lease income related to certain ground and use leases. Under our lease agreements, the tenants are required to pay all costs associated with such ground and use leases and provides for their direct payment to the landlord. This income and the related expenses are recorded on a gross basis in our Statement of Operations as we are the primary obligor under the ground and use leases.

Fair Value Measurements

We measure the fair value of financial instruments based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. In accordance with the fair value hierarchy, Level 1 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets, Level 2 assets/liabilities are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for similar instruments, on quoted prices in less active or inactive markets or on other “observable” market inputs, and Level 3 assets/liabilities are valued based significantly on “unobservable” market inputs.

Refer to Note 9 - Fair Value for further information.

Derivative Financial Instruments

We record our derivative financial instruments as either Other assets or Other liabilities on our Balance Sheet at fair value.

The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether we elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows are considered cash flow hedges. We formally document our hedge relationships and designation at the contract’s inception. This documentation includes the identification of the hedging instruments and the hedged items, its risk management objectives, strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction and our evaluation of the effectiveness of its hedged transaction.

On a quarterly basis, we also assess whether the derivative we designated in each hedging relationship is expected to be, and has been, highly effective in offsetting changes in the value or cash flows of the hedged transactions. If it is determined that a derivative is not highly effective at hedging the designated exposure, hedge accounting is discontinued and the changes in fair value of the instrument are included in Net income prospectively. If the hedge relationship is terminated, then the value of the derivative previously recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income is recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions affect earnings. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments that qualify as hedges are reported as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive income in our Balance Sheet with a corresponding change in Unrealized gain (loss) on cash flows hedges within Other comprehensive income on our Statement of Operations.

We use derivative instruments to mitigate the effects of interest rate volatility, whether from variable rate debt or future forecasted transactions, which could unfavorably impact our future earnings and forecasted cash flows. We do not use derivative instruments for speculative or trading purposes.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

MGM Resorts International (together with, as the context requires, its subsidiaries, “MGM”) and Caesars are the guarantors of all of the lease payment obligations of the tenants under the applicable leases of the properties that they each respectively lease from us. Revenue from our lease agreements with MGM represented 38% of our lease revenues for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Contractual rent from our lease agreements with MGM represented 36% of our total contractual rent for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Revenue from our lease agreements with Caesars represented 36% of our lease revenues for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Contractual rent from our lease agreements with Caesars represented 37% of our total contractual rent for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Additionally, our properties on the Las Vegas Strip generated approximately 49% of our lease revenues for each of the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Other than having two tenants from which we derive and will continue to derive a substantial portion of our revenue and our concentration in the Las Vegas market, we do not believe there are any other significant concentrations of credit risk.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” (“ASU 2024-03”) which requires disclosure of disaggregated information about certain income statement expense

(UNAUDITED)

line items in the notes to the financial statements on an interim and annual basis. ASU 2024-03 will be effective for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. We have elected not to early adopt and are currently evaluating the potential impact of ASU 2024-03 on our financial statements and disclosures.

Recent Tax Legislation

The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) has proposed a global minimum tax of 15% of reported profits (“Pillar Two”) that various jurisdictions around the world have adopted or proposed to adopt in domestic legislation. The OECD has published further guidance that modifies key aspects of the Pillar Two Global Minimum Tax (“GMT”) framework on a prospective basis. The new guidance includes a comprehensive “side-by-side package” that provides a safe harbor for U.S.-parented Multinational Enterprises (“MNEs”). The side-by-side package provides that taxes imposed under the Qualified Domestic Minimum Top-up Tax element of the GMT framework continue to apply to foreign operations of U.S.-parented MNEs. The changes agreed to in the side-by-side package will not be effective until jurisdictions that have implemented the GMT adopt the side-by-side package.

We have evaluated Pillar Two (including the GMT framework) and, although the current status of the safe harbor for 2026 pursuant to the side-by-side package remains unclear, we do not expect it to have a material impact on our Financial Statements. However, there also remains some uncertainty as to the final Pillar Two rules, including their adoption in each jurisdiction’s law. We will continue to monitor the United States and global legislative actions related to Pillar Two for potential impacts.

Note 3 — Real Estate Transactions

2026 Activity

Property Acquisitions and Investments

Gamehost Transaction

On March 30, 2026, we announced an agreement to acquire the real estate assets of Deerfoot Inn & Casino, Great Northern Casino and two limited-service hotels that are adjacent to Great Northern Casino (collectively, the “Gamehost Portfolio”) located in Alberta, Canada (the “Gamehost Transaction”), in connection with Pure Casino Entertainment Limited Partnership’s (“PURE”) pending take-private acquisition (the “PURE Gamehost Acquisition”) of Gamehost Inc. (GH.TO) (“Gamehost”), for an aggregate purchase price of C$200.6 million (approximately US$144.4 million based on the exchange rate at the time of the announcement).

Simultaneous with the closing of the PURE Gamehost Acquisition, the Gamehost Portfolio will be added to the existing triple-net master lease agreement between us and PURE (the “PURE Master Lease”) and annual rent will increase by C$16.1 million (US$11.6 million based on the exchange rate at the time of the announcement). The Gamehost Portfolio rent will escalate at 1.0% on February 1 following the first full 12 months post-closing (in line with the timing of the PURE Master Lease escalation), and escalation will conform to the PURE Master Lease thereafter at the greater of 1.5% or the change in Canadian CPI (capped at 2.5%). Additionally, the term of the PURE Master Lease will be extended such that, upon closing of the PURE Gamehost Acquisition, the PURE Master Lease will have a full 25 years remaining in the initial lease term, with four 5-year tenant renewal options. The tenant’s obligations under the PURE Master Lease will continue to be guaranteed by Indigenous Gaming Partners Inc.

The transaction is subject to customary regulatory approvals and closing conditions and is expected to close in mid-2026.

Leasing

Northfield Park Severance Lease

On April 21, 2026, we entered into a new triple-net lease agreement (the “Northfield Park Lease”) with an affiliate of funds managed by Clairvest Group Inc. (“Clairvest”) with respect to the real property of MGM Northfield Park, located in Northfield, Ohio (“Northfield Park”), in connection with MGM’s previously announced agreement to sell the operations of Northfield Park, to an affiliate of Clairvest. In connection with the closing, we entered into an amendment to the existing MGM Master Lease in order to account for MGM’s divestiture of the operations of Northfield Park and to reduce the annual base rent under the MGM Master Lease by the initial base rent under the Northfield Park Lease. The Northfield Park Lease has an initial annual base rent

(UNAUDITED)

of $53.0 million. The Northfield Park Lease has a 25-year lease term with three 10-year tenant renewal options, with other economic terms substantially similar to the MGM Master Lease, including escalation of 2.0% per annum on May 1st each year, which for the avoidance of doubt, commences on May 1, 2026 (with escalation equal to the greater of 2.0% and the change in CPI (capped at 3.0%) beginning at the same time as the MGM Master Lease in 2032) and a minimum capital expenditure requirement equal to 1.0% of annual net revenue. The Northfield Park Lease is guaranteed by an affiliate of funds managed by Clairvest that owns the operations of Northfield Park, with additional credit support provided by financial covenants within the lease.

One Beverly Hills Mezzanine Loan

On March 23, 2026, we provided a $1.5 billion mezzanine loan that is subordinate to a $2.8 billion senior loan commitment led by J.P. Morgan as part of the construction financing for One Beverly Hills, a landmark 17.5-acre luxury experiential lifestyle hub in Beverly Hills, California (“One Beverly Hills”). The mezzanine loan represents a $1.05 billion incremental commitment beyond our previous $450.0 million investment in the project, which was repaid in connection with the refinancing. One Beverly Hills is being developed by Cain and will be anchored by Aman Beverly Hills, featuring an Aman Hotel and Aman-branded residences, and includes a full-scale refurbishment of The Beverly Hilton, additional retail, food and beverage offerings, and 10 acres of botanical gardens and open space. Construction of the development has commenced and is expected to be completed in 2028.

The mezzanine loan has an initial term of 4 years with one 12-month extension option, subject to certain conditions, and will be deployed over the course of the initial term. Upon the closing of the transaction, we deployed an initial funding of $650.0 million.

Pending Transactions

Golden Entertainment Transaction

On November 6, 2025, we entered into an agreement to acquire 100% of the land, real property and improvements of seven casino properties (the “Golden Portfolio”) from Golden Entertainment, Inc. (“Golden Entertainment”) for $1.16 billion and to enter into a triple-net master lease (the “Golden Entertainment Master Lease”) with a newly formed entity owned and controlled by Blake L. Sartini, current chairman and chief executive officer of Golden Entertainment (“Golden OpCo”), that will acquire the operating business of Golden Entertainment in connection with the closing of the transaction. The Golden Portfolio includes: The STRAT Hotel, Casino & Tower on the North Las Vegas Strip; Arizona Charlie’s Decatur and Arizona Charlie’s Boulder in the Las Vegas Locals market; Aquarius Casino Resort and Edgewater Casino Resort in Laughlin, Nevada; and Pahrump Nugget Hotel & Casino and Lakeside RV Park & Casino in Pahrump, Nevada. The Golden Entertainment Master Lease will have an initial total annual rent of $87.0 million and an initial term of 30 years, with four 5-year tenant renewal options. Rent under the Golden Entertainment Master Lease will escalate annually at 2.0% beginning in Lease Year 3. The obligations of Golden OpCo under the Golden Entertainment Master Lease will be guaranteed by a holding company that is owned and controlled by Mr. Sartini and owns all of the gaming and operating assets formerly owned by Golden Entertainment, with additional credit support provided by financial covenants within the lease.

Pursuant to the terms of the master transaction agreement governing the transaction, Golden Entertainment shareholders will receive approximately 24.3 million shares of newly issued VICI stock in exchange for the outstanding shares of Golden

(3) The present value of lease payments includes the unguaranteed residual value of $16.4 billion.

Lease Provisions

As of March 31, 2026, we owned 93 assets leased under 17 separate lease agreements with our tenants, certain of which are master lease agreements governing multiple properties and certain of which are for single assets. Our lease agreements are generally long-term in nature with initial terms ranging from 15 to 32 years and are structured with several tenant renewal options extending the term of the lease for another 5 to 30 years. As of March 31, 2026, our lease agreements had a weighted average lease term based on contractual rent, including extension options, of approximately 39.5 years.

All of our lease agreements provide for annual base rent escalations, which may be fixed or variable over the life of the lease. The rent escalation provisions range from providing for a flat annual increase of 1% to 2% to an annual increase of 1% in the earlier years and the greater of 2% or CPI in later years, which may be subject to a maximum CPI-based cap with respect to each annual rent increase. Additionally, certain of our lease agreements provide for a variable rent component in which a portion of the annual rent, generally ranging from 20% to 30%, is subject to adjustment based on the revenues of the underlying asset in specified periods.

(1) On April 21, 2026, we entered into an amendment to the existing MGM Master Lease in order to account for MGM’s divestiture of the operations of Northfield Park and to reduce the annual base rent under the MGM Master Lease by the initial base rent under the Northfield Park Lease of $53.0 million.

(2) Current annual rent with respect to the Joliet Lease is presented prior to accounting for the non-controlling interest, or rent payable, to the 20% third-party ownership of Harrah’s Joliet LandCo LLC. After adjusting for the 20% non-controlling interest, combined current annual rent under the Caesars Regional Master Lease and Joliet Lease is $730.9 million.

(3) Any amounts representing rents in excess of the CPI floors specified above are considered contingent rent in accordance with GAAP.

(4) Variable rent is not subject to the annual escalator.

Capital Expenditure Requirements

We manage our residual asset risk through protective covenants in our lease agreements, which require the tenant to, among other things, hold specific insurance coverage, engage in ongoing maintenance of the property and invest in capital improvements. With respect to the capital improvements, the lease agreements specify certain minimum amounts that our tenants must spend on capital expenditures that constitute installation, restoration and repair or other improvements of items with respect to the leased properties. The following table summarizes the capital expenditure requirements of our tenants under their respective lease agreements:


Provision	Caesars Regional Master Lease and Joliet Lease	Caesars Las Vegas Master Lease	MGM Grand/ Mandalay Bay Lease	Venetian Lease	All Other Gaming Leases (1)
Yearly minimum expenditure	1% of net revenues (2)	1% of net revenues (2)	3.5% of net revenues based on 5-year rolling test, 1.5% monthly reserves	2% of net revenues based on rolling three-year basis	1% of net revenues

(1) Represents the tenants under our other gaming lease agreements not specifically outlined in the table, as specified in the respective lease agreements.

(2) The leases with Caesars require a $107.5 million floor on annual capital expenditures for Caesars Palace Las Vegas, Harrah’s Joliet and the Caesars Regional Master Lease properties in the aggregate. Additionally, annual building & improvement capital improvements must be equal to or greater than 1% of prior year net revenues.

(3) Certain tenants under our leases with Caesars, as applicable, are required to spend $380.3 million on capital expenditures (excluding gaming equipment) over a rolling three-year period, with $286.0 million allocated to the regional assets, $84.0 million allocated to Caesars Palace Las Vegas and the remaining balance of $10.3 million to facilities (other than the Harrah’s Las Vegas Facility) covered by any Caesars lease in such proportion as such tenants may elect. Additionally, the tenants under the Caesars Regional Master Lease and Joliet Lease are required to spend a minimum of $531.9 million on capital expenditures (including gaming equipment) across certain of its affiliates and other assets, together with the $380.3 million requirement.

Note 5 — Allowance for Credit Losses

Under ASC 326, we are required to estimate and record a non-cash allowance for current expected credit losses, or CECL allowance, related to our historical and any future investments in sales-type leases, lease financing receivables, loans and securities classified as held-to-maturity.

The following tables detail the allowance for credit losses as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

Totals	$	47,537,444	$	(1,769,355)	$	45,768,089	3.72	%

(1) The total allowance excludes the CECL allowance for unfunded commitments of our loans and for unfunded commitments made to our tenants to fund the development and construction of improvements at our properties. As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, such allowance is $28.5 million and $6.4 million, respectively, and is recorded in Other liabilities.

The following chart reflects the roll-forward of the allowance for credit losses on our real estate portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
(In thousands)	2026		2025
Beginning Balance	$	1,775,753	$	1,594,931

Initial allowance from current period investments	39,887		3,539

Charge-offs	—		—
Recoveries	—		—
Ending Balance	$	1,656,093	$	1,781,834

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized a $118.8 million decrease in our allowance for credit losses primarily driven by positive changes in the macroeconomic forecast during the current quarter and the equity market performance of our tenants, both of which impact the reasonable and supportable period, or R&S Period, probability of default, or PD, and standard annual updates to the CECL model used and certain related inputs, which decreased the estimate used for the Long-Term Period PD. The decrease was partially offset by recording an initial CECL allowance of $39.9 million on our $1.5 billion of debt investment activity and adjustments made to the inputs used in the CECL allowance calculation for certain of our loan investments.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized a $187.0 million increase in our allowance for credit losses primarily driven by an increase in the R&S Period PD as a result of the equity market performance of our tenants and their parent guarantors, as applicable, and negative changes in the macroeconomic forecast during the quarter. In addition, we

(UNAUDITED)

recorded an initial CECL allowance of $3.5 million on our $300.0 million of debt investment activity during the period. The increase was partially offset by standard annual updates to the CECL model used and certain related inputs, which decreased the estimate used for the Long-Term Period PD.

As of March 31, 2026, we have one fully funded senior secured loan collateralized by a luxury golf-resort development with an unpaid principal balance of $82.8 million on non-accrual status.

Credit Quality Indicators

We assess the credit quality of our investments through the credit ratings of the senior secured debt of the guarantors of our leases, as we believe that our lease agreements have a similar credit profile to a senior secured debt instrument. The credit quality indicators are reviewed by us on a quarterly basis as of quarter-end. In instances where the guarantor of one of our lease agreements does not have senior secured debt with a credit rating, we use either a comparable proxy company or the overall corporate credit rating, as applicable. We also use this credit rating to determine the Long-Term Period PD when estimating credit losses for each investment.

The following tables detail the amortized cost basis and year of origination of our Investments in leases - sales-type and financing receivables, Investments in loans and securities and Other assets by the credit quality indicator we assigned to each lease or loan guarantor as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025:

*(1)*Carrying value is net of unamortized original issue discount and unamortized debt issuance costs incurred in conjunction with debt.

*(2)*Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate based on a credit rating-based pricing grid with a range of 0.70% to 1.40% margin plus SOFR (or Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) or Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), as applicable), depending on our credit ratings and total leverage ratio. Additionally, the commitment fees under the Revolving Credit Facility are calculated on a credit rating-based pricing grid with a range of 0.10% to 0.30%, depending on our credit ratings and total leverage ratio. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, the commitment fee for the Revolving Credit Facility averaged 0.20%.

Senior Unsecured Notes

As set forth in the above table, as of March 31, 2026, our outstanding senior unsecured notes consist of (i) $2.25 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued on November 26, 2019 (the “November 2019 Notes”), (ii) $1.75 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued on February 5, 2020 (the “February 2020 Notes”), (iii) $4.50 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued on April 29, 2022 (the “April 2022 Notes”), (iv) approximately $2.3 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued on April 29, 2022, in each case issued by VICI LP and VICI Note Co. Inc. (the “Exchange Notes”), (v) approximately $63.6 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes, which were originally issued by MGM Growth Properties Operating Partnership LP and a co-issuer (the “MGP OP Notes”) and remain outstanding following the issuance of the Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer and consent solicitation for the then-outstanding MGP OP Notes, which settled in connection with the completion of our acquisition of MGP on April 29, 2022, (vi) $1.05 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued on March 18, 2024 (the “March 2024 Notes”), (vii) $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued on December 19, 2024, (the “December 2024 Notes”), and (viii) $1.3 billion aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes issued on April 7, 2025 (the “April 2025 Notes”). The outstanding November 2019 Notes, February 2020 Notes, April 2022 Notes, Exchange Notes, MGP OP Notes, March 2024 Notes, December 2024 Notes and April 2025 Notes are collectively referred to as the “Senior Unsecured Notes”.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable indentures (including supplemental indentures, collectively “indentures”), each series of Senior Unsecured Notes is redeemable at our option, in whole or in part, at any time for a specified period prior to the maturity date of such series at the redemption prices set forth in the applicable indenture. In addition, we may redeem some or all of such notes prior to such respective dates at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a “make-whole” premium or on such other terms as specified in the applicable indenture.

Guarantee and Financial Covenants

None of the Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by any subsidiaries of VICI LP. The Exchange Notes, the MGP OP Notes, the April 2022 Notes, the March 2024 Notes, the December 2024 Notes and the April 2025 Notes benefit from a pledge of the limited partnership interests of VICI LP directly owned by VICI OP (the “Limited Equity Pledge”). The Limited Equity Pledge has also been granted in favor of (i) the administrative agent and the lenders under the Credit Agreement (as defined below), and (ii) the trustee under the indentures governing, and the holders of, the November 2019 Notes and the February 2020 Notes.

Pursuant to the terms of the respective indentures, in the event that the November 2019 Notes, February 2020 Notes and Exchange Notes (i) are rated investment grade by at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch and (ii) no default or event of default has occurred and is continuing under the respective indentures, VICI LP and its restricted subsidiaries will no longer be subject to certain of the restrictive covenants under such indentures. On April 18, 2022, the November 2019 Notes, February 2020 Notes and Exchange Notes were rated investment grade by each of S&P and Fitch and VICI LP notified the trustee of such Suspension Date (as defined in the indentures). Accordingly, VICI LP and its restricted subsidiaries currently are not subject to

VICI PROPERTIES INC. AND VICI PROPERTIES L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

(UNAUDITED)

certain of the restrictive covenants under such indentures, but are subject to a maintenance covenant requiring VICI LP and its restricted subsidiaries to maintain a certain total unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio. In the event that the November 2019 Notes, February 2020 Notes and Exchange Notes are no longer rated investment grade by at least two of S&P, Moody’s and Fitch, then VICI LP and its restricted subsidiaries will again be subject to all of the covenants of the respective indentures, as applicable, but will no longer be subject to the maintenance covenant.

The indentures governing each of the April 2022 Notes, March 2024 Notes, December 2024 Notes and April 2025 Notes contain certain covenants that limit the ability of VICI LP and its subsidiaries to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness and limit VICI LP’s ability to consummate a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of its assets. In addition, VICI LP is required to maintain total unencumbered assets of at least 150% of total unsecured indebtedness. These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications.

Unsecured Credit Facilities

On February 3, 2025, we entered into a credit agreement by and among VICI LP, the lenders party thereto, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, as amended from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”), providing for a revolving credit facility in the amount of $2.5 billion scheduled to mature on February 3, 2029 (the “Revolving Credit Facility”).

The Revolving Credit Facility includes two six-month maturity extension options (or one twelve-month extension option), the exercise of which in each case is subject to customary conditions and the payment of an extension fee of (i) 0.0625% on the extended commitments, in the case of each six-month extension of the Revolving Credit Facility, and (ii) 0.125% on the extended commitments, in the case of a twelve-month extension of the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility includes the option (i) to increase the revolving loan commitments by up to $1.0 billion and (ii) to add one or more tranches of term loans of up to $2.0 billion in the aggregate, in each case, to the extent that any one or more lenders (from the syndicate or otherwise) agree to provide such additional credit extensions.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest, at VICI LP’s option, for U.S. Dollar borrowings at either (i) a rate based on SOFR plus a margin ranging from 0.70% to 1.40%, or (ii) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.40%, in each case, with the actual margin determined according to VICI LP’s debt ratings and total leverage ratio. The base rate is the highest of (i) the prime rate of interest last quoted by the Wall Street Journal in the U.S. then in effect, (ii) the NYFRB rate from time to time plus 0.5% and (iii) the SOFR rate for a one-month interest period plus 1.0%, subject to a floor of 1.0%. In addition to U.S. Dollar borrowings, borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility are also available in certain specific foreign currencies, bearing interest based on rates customary for such foreign currencies and subject to the same applicable margins for U.S. Dollar borrowings. In addition, the Revolving Credit Facility requires the payment of a facility fee ranging from 0.10% to 0.30% (depending on VICI LP’s debt ratings and total leverage ratio) of total commitments. The Revolving Credit Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in full or in part at any time, subject to customary breakage costs, if applicable.

The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and affirmative, negative and financial covenants. Such covenants include restrictions on mergers, affiliate transactions, and asset sales as well as certain financial maintenance covenants. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest and other obligations of VICI LP under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable. The Credit Agreement is consistent with certain tax-related requirements related to security for our debt.

As of March 31, 2026, we had C$165.0 million and £16.5 million outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility in connection with the funding of a portion of our Canadian investments and our United Kingdom investments, respectively.

MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS Debt

Our investment in the real estate assets of the MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay, through an entity that holds these assets (the “MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay PropCo”), is financed with CMBS debt (the “MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS Debt”) and is secured primarily by mortgages on our fee interest in the real estate assets of these two properties. The MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS Debt has a current outstanding principal balance of $3.0 billion, matures in March 2032 and bears interest at 3.558% per annum until March 2030, at which time the rate can change in accordance with the terms of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS loan agreement until maturity. The MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay CMBS loan agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default, including, among other things, restrictions on the ability of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay PropCo and certain of its affiliates to incur additional debt and transfer, pledge or assign certain equity interests or its assets, and covenants requiring certain affiliates of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay PropCo to

exist as “special purpose entities,” maintain certain ongoing reserve funds and comply with other customary obligations for commercial mortgage-backed securities loan financings.

Financial Covenants

As described above, our debt obligations are subject to certain customary financial and protective covenants that restrict VICI LP, VICI PropCo and its subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt, sell certain assets and restrict certain payments, among other things. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions and qualifications, including the ability to make restricted payments to maintain our REIT status. At March 31, 2026, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under our debt obligations.

Settled Derivatives

We have entered into, and subsequently settled, the following forward-starting interest rate swap agreements and U.S. Treasury Rate Lock agreements to hedge against changes in future cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates from the trade date through the forecasted issuance of the respective senior unsecured notes. In each case, the derivatives were designated as cash-flow hedges and, accordingly, the unrealized gain in Accumulated other comprehensive income is amortized over the term of the respective derivative instruments, which matches that of the underlying note, as a reduction in interest expense.

Net Investment Hedges

In connection with our foreign transactions in Canada and the United Kingdom, we currently have C$165.0 million and £16.5 million, respectively, outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facility, which funds were used to reduce the impact of exchange rate variations associated with our investments, and, accordingly, have been designated as a hedge of the net investment in such entities. As non-derivative net investment hedges, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on the principal balances are recognized as a cumulative translation adjustment within accumulated other comprehensive income. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, we recognized $2.1 million in unrealized gains related to such net investment hedges, and for the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized $0.6 million in unrealized losses, related to such net investment hedges, which were recorded as a component of Foreign currency translation adjustments in the Statement of Operations.

Note 10 — Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, from time to time, we may be subject to legal claims and administrative proceedings. As of March 31, 2026, we are not subject to any litigation that we believe could have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations, liquidity or cash flows.

Lease Commitments

Operating Lease Commitments. We are liable under operating leases for: (i) land at the Cascata golf course, which expires in 2038 and has three 10-year extension options, and (ii) our corporate headquarters in New York, NY, which expires in 2035 and has one five-year renewal option.
Sub-Lease Commitments. Certain of our acquisitions necessitate that we assume, as the lessee, ground and use leases that may be integral to the operations of the property, the cost of which is passed to our tenants through our lease agreements, which require the tenants to pay all costs associated with such ground and use leases and provide for their direct payment to the landlord.

We have determined we are the primary obligor of certain of such ground and use leases and, accordingly, have presented these leases on a gross basis on our Balance Sheet and Statement of Operations.

For the ground and use leases determined to be operating leases, we recorded sub-lease right-of-use assets in Other assets and sub-lease liabilities in Other liabilities. For ground and lease uses determined to be finance leases, we recorded a sales-type sub-lease in Other assets and finance sub-lease liability in Other liabilities.

Note 11 — Stockholders' Equity

Stock

Authorized

As of March 31, 2026, we have the authority to issue 1,400,000,000 shares of stock, consisting of 1,350,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, and 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share.

Public Offerings

From time to time, we offer shares of our common stock through public offerings registered with the SEC. In connection with such offerings, we may issue and sell the offered shares of common stock upon settlement of the offering or, alternatively, enter into forward sale agreements with respect to all or a portion of the shares of common stock sold in such public offerings, pursuant to which the offered shares are borrowed by the forward sale purchasers and the issuance of such shares takes place upon settlement of the applicable forward sale agreement in accordance with its terms. There were no marketed public offerings of our common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

At-the-Market Offering Program

On May 6, 2024, we entered into an equity distribution agreement, pursuant to which we may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate sales price of $2.0 billion of our common stock and concurrently terminated our previous equity distribution agreement (collectively under both equity distribution agreements, the “ATM Program”). Sales of common stock, if any, made pursuant to the ATM Program may be sold in negotiated transactions or transactions that are deemed to be “at the market” offerings, as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. The ATM Program also provides that the Company may sell shares of its common stock under the ATM Program through forward sale agreements. Actual sales under the ATM Program will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, our capital needs, and our determination of the appropriate sources of funding to meet such needs.

The following table summarizes our transactions under the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2025, all of which were conducted subject to forward sale agreements, which we refer to as ATM forward sale agreements. There were no such transactions during the three months ended March 31, 2026.


(In thousands, except share and per share data)	Number of Shares	Weighted Average Share Price		Aggregate Value		Net Forward Sales Price Per Share		Aggregate Net Value
March 2025 ATM Forward Sale Agreements	7,835,973	$	32.43	$	254,156	$	32.27	$	252,840

We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares at the time we entered into each of the ATM forward sale agreements. We determined that the ATM forward sale agreements meet the criteria for equity classification and, therefore, are exempt from derivative accounting. We recorded the ATM forward sale agreements at fair value at inception, which we determined to be zero. Subsequent changes to fair value are not required under equity classification.

As of March 31, 2026, we had approximately 7,750,000 forward shares remaining to be settled under our ATM Program. The net forward sales price per share of forward shares sold under the ATM Program was $31.17 and would result in us receiving approximately $241.6 million in net cash proceeds if we were to physically settle the shares. Alternatively, if we were to cash settle the shares under the ATM forward sale agreements, it would result in a cash inflow of $29.9 million, or, if we were to net share settle the shares under the ATM forward sale agreements, it would result in us receiving approximately 1,092,943 shares of common stock.

There was no settlement activity of the outstanding forward shares under our marketed public offerings or the ATM Program during the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. Subsequent to quarter-end, on April 29, 2026, we physically settled the remaining 7,750,000 forward shares outstanding under the ATM Program in exchange for total net settlement proceeds of approximately $242.1 million.

Note 12 — Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive securities such as stock options, unvested restricted shares, unvested performance-based restricted shares and the shares to be issued by us upon settlement of any outstanding forward sale agreements for the period such dilutive security is outstanding. The shares issuable upon settlement of any outstanding forward sale agreements, as described in Note 11 – Stockholders' Equity, are reflected in the diluted earnings per share calculations using the treasury stock method for the period outstanding prior to settlement. Under this method, the number of shares of our common stock used in calculating diluted earnings per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon full physical settlement of the shares under any outstanding forward sale agreements for the period prior to settlement over the number of shares of common stock that could be purchased by us in the market (based on the average market price during the period prior to settlement) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sales price immediately prior to settlement).

The following tables reconcile the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of basic earnings per share to the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding used in the calculation of diluted earnings per share:


	Three Months Ended March 31,

Earnings Per Unit

The following section presents the basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) and diluted EPU of VICI OP, our operating partnership and the direct parent and 100% interest holder in VICI LP. VICI LP’s interests are not expressed in units. However, given that VICI OP has a unit ownership structure and the financial information of VICI OP is substantially identical with that of VICI LP, we have elected to present the EPU of VICI OP. Basic EPU is computed by dividing net income attributable to partners’ capital by the weighted-average number of units outstanding during the period. In accordance with the VICI OP limited liability company agreement, for each share of common stock issued at VICI, a corresponding unit is issued by VICI OP. Accordingly, diluted EPU reflects the additional dilution for all potentially dilutive units resulting from potentially dilutive VICI stock issuances, such as options, unvested restricted stock awards, unvested performance-based restricted stock unit awards and the units to be issued by us upon settlement of any outstanding forward sale agreements of VICI for the period such dilutive security is outstanding. The units issuable upon settlement of any outstanding forward sale agreements of VICI are reflected in the diluted EPU calculations using the treasury stock method for the period outstanding prior to settlement. Under this method, the number of units used in calculating diluted EPU is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of units that would be issued upon full physical settlement of the units under any outstanding forward sale agreements for the period prior to settlement over the number of shares of VICI common stock that could be purchased by us in the market (based on the average market price during the period prior to settlement) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sales price immediately prior to settlement). Upon VICI’s physical settlement of the shares of VICI common stock under the outstanding forward sale agreement, the delivery of shares of VICI common stock resulted in an increase in the number of VICI OP Units outstanding and resulting dilution to EPU.

The following tables reconcile the weighted-average units outstanding used in the calculation of basic EPU to the weighted-average units outstanding used in the calculation of diluted EPU:

Note 13 — Stock-Based Compensation

The 2017 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) is designed to provide long-term equity-based compensation to our directors and employees. The Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Awards under the Plan may be granted with respect to an aggregate of 12,750,000 shares of common stock and may be issued in the form of (a) incentive stock options, (b) non-qualified stock options, (c) stock appreciation rights, (d) dividend equivalent rights, (e) restricted stock, (f) restricted stock units or (g) unrestricted stock. In addition, the Plan limits the total number of shares of common stock with respect to which awards may be granted to any employee or director during any one calendar year. At March 31, 2026, approximately 8.7 million shares of common stock remained available for issuance by us as equity awards under the Plan.

The following table details the stock-based compensation expense recorded as General and administrative expense in the Statement of Operations:

Note 14 — Segment Information

Our operations consist of real estate investment activities, which represent substantially all of our business. Accordingly, all of our operations have been considered to represent one operating segment and one reportable segment. Our CODM is Edward B. Pitoniak, our CEO, who assesses the performance of our Company using consolidated Net income as reported on the Statement of Operations.

On a monthly basis, the CODM reviews the consolidated income statement, including the primary drivers of changes against the prior period, which allows him to actively monitor and review our revenues and expenses. Given the relatively predictable nature of our cash flows due to the net lease structure of our real estate portfolio, the CODM’s primary focus when reviewing the consolidated income statement is monitoring changes in the line items in the Statement of Operations as compared to the prior period and to evaluate total general and administrative expenses against the Company’s approved budget. Significant segment expenses and other segment items are identical to what is reported on the face of the Statement of Operations. The CODM does not review assets at a different asset level or category than the amounts disclosed in the Balance Sheet.
