05—Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How dependent is VICI on its largest tenants?
Substantially all revenue comes from tenant rent. Caesars and MGM account for 39% and 35%, respectively, of annualized rent as of December 31, 2024. Both are guarantors of their leases, and the filing notes that a significant tenant default or bankruptcy could materially affect VICI's results and distributions.
How do the leases protect VICI from rising costs and inflation?
The leases are triple-net, so tenants bear property taxes, insurance, maintenance and capital expenditures. All leases include annual base rent escalations: flat increases of 1% to 2%, or CPI-linked escalation in later years, subject to caps. As of December 31, 2024, 40% of annualized rental revenue was subject to CPI-linked escalation.
What is the company's debt and liquidity position?
VICI had approximately $17.1 billion of debt outstanding at year end, 99.0% fixed-rate. It held cash and cash equivalents of $524.6 million and $2.4 billion of available revolver capacity. Its debt maturities include $500.0 million due May 15, 2025 and $800.0 million due June 15, 2025, and it was in compliance with all debt covenants at December 31, 2024.
What growth investments did VICI make in 2024?
VICI invested $411.8 million through its Partner Property Growth Fund, adding $33.2 million in annualized rent, including the Venetian Capital Investment, which is up to $700.0 million with an incremental $300.0 million optional draw through November 1, 2026.
