Frequently Asked Questions
What drove the increase in VICI's revenue this quarter?
Total revenues rose $60.4 million to $964.7 million for Q3 2024. The filing attributes the increase mainly to the acquisition of the remaining 49.9% of the MGM Grand/Mandalay Bay portfolio in January 2023, the Century Master Lease components, the Bowlero and Chelsea Piers transactions, the Venetian Capital Investment rent increase in July 2024, and annual rent escalators.
Why did the change in allowance for credit losses swing so sharply?
The allowance decreased $31.6 million in Q3 2024, compared with an increase of $96.0 million in Q3 2023. The filing cites positive macroeconomic forecast changes and tenant market performance in 2024, while the 2023 increase reflected initial CECL allowances on acquisitions and loan originations.
