For full year 2024, total revenues were $3.85 billionb (up 6.6%), net income attributable to common stockholders was $2.68 billion ($2.56 per diluted share), and AFFO was $2.37 billion (up 8.4%, or $2.26 per diluted share). The company announced approximately $1.1 billion in 2024 capital commitments at a weighted average initial yield of 8.1%, including up to $700.0 million for The Venetian Resort Las Vegas under its Partner Property Growth Fund strategy, a $250.0 million Great Wolf mezzanine loan, and up to $105.0 million for Homefield Kansas City. Moody's upgraded VICI's issuer rating to Baa3 from Ba1, and the company issued $750.0 million of senior notes in December 2024 to refinance 2025 maturities.

Subsequent to quarter-end, VICI entered a new $2.5 billionc revolving credit facility maturing February 3, 2029 and invested $300.0 million in a mezzanine loan for One Beverly Hills. As of December 31, 2024, the company reported approximately $17.1 billion in total debt and approximately $3.3 billion in liquidity.

03—Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Why did net income fall in the fourth quarter even though revenue and AFFO grew?

    The decline was driven primarily by the non-cash change in the CECL allowance for credit losses. Net income attributable to common stockholders was $614.6 million in Q4 2024 versus $747.8 million in Q4 2023, and the filing attributes the year-over-year decrease mainly to a $157.7 million aggregate change in the CECL allowance. AFFO excludes this non-cash item, which is why AFFO rose 5.4% over the same period.

  2. How much did VICI invest in 2024 and what yields did it target?

    The company announced approximately $1.1 billion in capital commitments in 2024 at a weighted average initial yield of 8.1%. Major commitments included up to $700.0 million for The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, a $250.0 million Great Wolf mezzanine loan, and up to $105.0 million for Homefield Kansas City.

  3. What is VICI's liquidity and debt position at year end?

    As of December 31, 2024, VICI had approximately $17.1 billion in total debt and approximately $3.3 billion in liquidity, consisting of $524.6 million in cash, $376.3 million in estimated forward sale equity proceeds, and $2.4 billion of availability under the prior revolving credit facility. Subsequently, on February 3, 2025, the company entered a new $2.5 billion revolving credit facility maturing February 3, 2029.

  4. What is the outlook for 2025?

    VICI provided preliminary full-year 2025 AFFO guidance of $2,455 million to $2,485 million, or $2.32 to $2.35 per diluted share. The company does not provide GAAP net income guidance because it cannot reliably predict the non-cash change in the CECL allowance. Guidance excludes the impact of pending or possible future acquisitions, dispositions, and capital markets activity.
