World Kinect Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

World Kinect Corporation Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Results

MIAMI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–
World Kinect Corporation (NYSE: WKC) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2024.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Highlights

  • Gross profit of $259 million
  • GAAP net loss of $102 million, or $1.77 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income of $36 million, or $0.62 per diluted share
  • Generated $120 million of operating cash flow
  • Repurchased $43 million of common stock
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $95 million

Year-Over-Year Segment Profitability

  • Aviation – Gross profit of $120 million, a decrease of 8%, primarily driven by the sale of Avinode during the second quarter of 2024 and lower inventory-related profitability year-over-year, partially offset by growth in our commercial resale business as well as further growth in our business and general aviation activities.
  • Land – Gross profit of $104 million, an increase of 83%, driven primarily by a non-recurring item in the fourth quarter of 2023. Adjusted gross profit of $104 million, a decrease of 1%, driven by lower profit contribution from our sustainability-related offerings as well as unfavorable market conditions in Brazil, principally offset by improved performance in our core liquid fuel business in North America.
  • Marine – Gross profit of $34 million, a decrease of 22%, principally due to lower profit contribution from our resale businesses, driven primarily by reduced bunker fuel prices and market volatility year-over-year.

Fourth Quarter 2024 – Brazil Divestiture, Exit Activities and Impairments

  • We sold our Brazil subsidiaries during the quarter ended December 31, 2024. As a result, we recorded a one-time, non-cash pre-tax loss of approximately $111 million during the fourth quarter, which included the recognition of cumulative translation losses of $80 million, which had no impact to shareholder equity or cash flows.
  • Additionally, during the quarter ended December 31, 2024, we decided to take actions to exit certain operations within our North American land business. We recognized related pre-tax asset impairment and exit costs, including the write-off of certain accounts receivable, aggregating approximately $9 million during the fourth quarter.
  • We also recorded approximately $22 million of additional asset impairments which were primarily related to an equity-method investment in a non-core business activity during the fourth quarter.

Full Year 2024 Highlights

  • Gross profit of $1.03 billion
  • GAAP net income of $67 million, or $1.13 per diluted share
  • Adjusted net income of $130 million, or $2.18 per diluted share
  • Generated $260 million of operating cash flow
  • Free cash flow of $192 million
  • Returned $139 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $361 million

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We believe that the non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with our financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, are useful to investors to further aid in evaluating our ongoing financial performance and to provide greater transparency as supplemental information to our GAAP results.

Non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP. In addition, our presentation of the non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to the presentation of such metrics by other companies.

Our non-GAAP financial measures exclude acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs associated with our acquisitions, and non-operating legal settlements, primarily because we do not believe they are reflective of our core operating results. We also exclude costs associated with a previously disclosed erroneous bid made in the Finnish power market (the “Finnish bid error”) that resulted in the extraordinary losses.

We use the following non-GAAP measures:

  • Adjusted net income attributable to World Kinect(“Adjusted net income”) is defined as net income excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on the extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs, non-operating legal settlements, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.
  • Adjusted diluted earnings per common share (“Adjusted EPS”) is computed by dividing adjusted net income by the sum of the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period and the number of additional shares of common stock that would have been outstanding if our outstanding potentially dilutive securities had been issued. For the purpose of calculating Adjusted EPS, the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding is adjusted to include the convertible note hedges. Potentially dilutive securities include share-based compensation awards, such as non-vested restricted stock units, performance stock units where the performance requirements have been met, settled stock appreciation rights awards, and the convertible notes.
  • Adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”) is defined as net income including noncontrolling interest and excluding the impact of interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, in addition to acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, gains or losses on sale of businesses, integration costs, non-operating legal settlements, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.
  • Adjusted income from operations is defined as income from operations excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, integration costs, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.
  • Adjusted income from operations as a percentage of adjusted gross profit (“Adjusted operating margin”) is computed by dividing Adjusted income from operations by Adjusted gross profit (as defined below).
  • Adjusted operating expenses is defined as operating expenses excluding the impact of acquisition and divestiture related expenses, costs associated with restructuring activities (including all costs associated with exit activities), impairments, integration costs, and costs associated with the Finnish bid error.
  • Consolidated and Land Adjusted gross profit is defined as gross profit excluding the impact of costs associated with the Finnish bid error.
  • Free cash flow is defined as operating cash flow minus total capital expenditures.

Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of these non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures in this press release and on our website.

New risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to predict all such risk factors or to assess the impact of such risks on our business. Accordingly, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, changes in expectations, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law.

For the three months ended December 31, 2024, Adjusted diluted earnings per share is calculated considering the impact of dilutive shares that were not considered for GAAP purposes as the quarter is in a net loss position, and considers the convertible note hedges as described under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” above. GAAP weighted-average shares outstanding was 57.5 million, there were 0.7 million dilutive shares outstanding and the impact of the convertible note hedge was 0.2 million shares, resulting in a non-GAAP weighted average shares outstanding of 58.0 million. For the three months ended December 31, 2023, the dilutive shares outstanding that were excluded due to the GAAP net loss for the period did not impact the calculation of Adjusted EPS. There are no adjustments made to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for any other period presented.

CEO Commentary

Chief Executive Officer Katherine Antonello commented: “We are pleased with our fourth quarter and full-year 2024 results. In fact, we closed the year with the highest levels of written and earned premium, ending in-force premium and policies and net investment income in the Company’s history.

We achieved solid growth in new and renewal premium in 2024, but that growth was offset by lower final audit premiums and endorsements. Our investment performance contributed nicely to our overall results and financial strength. In addition to the record level of net investment income we generated, we also recognized $24.1 million of after-tax unrealized gains from our common stocks and other investments.”

Ms. Antonello continued, “Our current accident year loss and LAE ratio on voluntary business was 64.0%, slightly above the loss and LAE ratio we maintained throughout 2023 and consistent with that of 2022. Our fourth quarter full reserve study led to the recognition of $8.6 million of net favorable prior year loss reserve development from our voluntary business. Those actions, coupled with our continual focus on our underwriting expenses, yielded an ex-LPT combined ratio of 95.5% for the fourth quarter, and 98.6% for the full year.

Our active capital management efforts throughout 2024, which consisted of $41.7 million of share repurchases and $30.0 million of regular quarterly dividends, contributed to year-over-year increases of 10.6% and 9.8% in our book value per share including the deferred gain and adjusted book value per share, respectively. Our focus on disciplined underwriting, prudent risk management, and strategic investments has positioned us strongly in the workers’ compensation insurance market, which is evidenced by the recent upgrade to our insurance companies’ AM Best Financial Strength Rating to “A” (Excellent).

Beyond our financial results, we continue to offer direct-to-consumer policies through the Cerity brand but, with the Cerity integration that was undertaken a year ago, we now do so without any meaningful fixed underwriting expenses. Further, our continued focus for 2025 will be on further appetite expansion, increased self-service options for policyholders, agents and injured workers and greater operational efficiencies.

Finally, we are saddened by the California wildfires and the impact on the Los Angeles area community and small businesses. Our thoughts are with all of those who have lost their homes, businesses, and livelihoods, and we are working with our partners to provide immediate and long-term assistance. As a monoline workers’ compensation insurance provider, these catastrophic events would not typically have a significant impact on our results, nor our long-term trends. We have analyzed the loss exposure and experience in the affected fire zones and have determined that approximately 1% of our in-force policies, representing less than 1% of our payroll exposure, are within the impacted areas and we are not currently experiencing any significant impacts from these devastating fires.”

Summary of Consolidated Fourth Quarter
2024
Results

(All comparisons versus fourth quarter 2023, unless otherwise noted)

Gross premiums written were $176.3 million, a decrease of 1%. The slight decrease was due to higher new and renewal business writings being offset by lower final audit premiums and endorsements. Net earned premiums were $190.2 million, an increase of 1%.

Losses and loss adjustment expenses were $113.2 million, an increase of 22%. The increase was due to higher earned premium, lower net favorable prior year loss reserve development and a slightly higher current accident year loss and loss adjustment expense provision. The Company recognized $9.1 million of favorable prior year loss reserve development versus $24.9 million. The Company’s loss and loss adjustment expense ratio was 59.5% for the quarter (including and excluding the LPT) versus 49.5% (50.2% excluding the LPT).

Total underwriting expenses (consisting of commissions, other underwriting and general and administrative expenses) were $68.6 million, a decrease of 5%. The decrease was primarily related to lower information technology expenses resulting from the Cerity integration plan that was executed in the fourth quarter of 2023, lower compensation-related expenses and a non-recurring commission adjustment, partially offset by higher bad debt expense. The Company’s total underwriting expense ratio was 36.0% versus 38.6%.

Within the 2024 periods presented herein, the Company refined its presentation of certain expenses associated with its involuntary premium. This revision, which was immaterial, had the effect of reducing both its fourth quarter and full year 2024 commission expense ratios by approximately 0.3 percentage points, and increasing its respective underwriting and general and administrative expense ratios by the same amount. This revision had no net effect on the Company’s total underwriting expenses or net income.

Net investment income was $26.7 million, an increase of 2%. The increase was due to higher investment yields, partially offset by lower invested balances of fixed maturity securities, short-term investments and cash and cash equivalents, as measured by amortized cost.

Net realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments reflected on the income statement were $(0.4) million versus $12.1 million.

Interest and financing expenses were $0.1 million versus $0.6 million. The decrease resulted from the unwinding of our former Federal Home Loan Bank leveraged investment strategy in the fourth quarter of 2023.

Other expenses of $1.6 million recorded in the fourth quarter of 2023 consisted of a non-recurring charge in connection with previously capitalized cloud computing costs.

Federal and state income tax expense was $6.4 million (18.4% effective rate) versus $12.6 million (21.6% effective rate). The effective rates in each period reflect applicable income tax benefits and exclusions associated with tax-advantaged investment income, LPT adjustments, pre-privatization loss and loss adjustment expense reserve adjustments and deferred gain amortization.

The Company’s book value per share including the deferred gain of $47.35 increased by 10.6% during 2024 and its adjusted book value per share of $50.71 increased by 9.8% during 2024, each including dividends declared. These measures were favorably impacted by $24.1 million of net after tax unrealized gains arising from equity securities and other investments.

Share Repurchases and First Quarter 2025 Dividend Declaration

During the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company repurchased 193,857 shares of its common stock at an average price of $51.20 per share. During the period from January 1, 2025 through February 19, 2025, the Company repurchased a further 222,438 shares of its common stock at an average price of $49.38 per share. The Company currently has a remaining share repurchase authorization of $18.7 million.

On February 19, 2025, the Board of Directors declared a first quarter dividend of $0.30 per share. The dividend is payable on March 19, 2025 to stockholders of record as of March 5, 2025.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Within this earnings release we present the following measures, each of which are “non-GAAP financial measures.” A reconciliation of these measures to the Company’s most directly comparable GAAP financial measures is included herein. Management believes that these non-GAAP measures are important to the Company’s investors, analysts and other interested parties who benefit from having an objective and consistent basis for comparison with other companies within our industry. Management further believes that these measures are more relevant than comparable GAAP measures in evaluating our financial performance.


The LPT Agreement
is a non-recurring transaction that no longer provides any ongoing cash benefits to the Company. Management believes that providing non-GAAP measures that exclude the effects of the LPT Agreement (amortization of deferred reinsurance gain, adjustments to LPT Agreement ceded reserves and adjustments to the contingent commission receivable) is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful understanding of the Company’s ongoing underwriting performance.


Deferred reinsurance gain (Deferred Gain)
reflects the unamortized gain from the LPT Agreement. This gain has been deferred and is being amortized using the recovery method, whereby the amortization is determined by the proportion of actual reinsurance recoveries to total estimated recoveries, except for the contingent profit commission, which was amortized through June 30, 2024, the date of its final determination. Amortization is reflected in losses and LAE incurred.


Adjusted net income

(see Page 5 for calculations) is net income excluding the effects of the LPT Agreement, and net realized and unrealized gains and losses on investments (net of tax), and any miscellaneous non-recurring transactions (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measures is helpful to investors, analysts and other interested parties in identifying trends in the Company’s operating performance because such items have limited significance to its ongoing operations or can be impacted by both discretionary and other economic factors and may not represent operating trends.


Stockholders’ equity including the Deferred Gain

(see Page 10 for calculations) is stockholders’ equity including the Deferred Gain. Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful in providing investors, analysts and other interested parties a meaningful measure of the Company’s total underwriting capital.


Adjusted stockholders’ equity

(see Page 10 for calculations) is stockholders’ equity including the Deferred Gain, less accumulated other comprehensive income (net of tax). Management believes that providing this non-GAAP measure is useful to investors, analysts and other interested parties since it serves as the denominator to the Company’s adjusted return on stockholders’ equity metric.


Return on stockholders’ equity and Adjusted return on stockholders’ equity

(see Page 6 for calculations)
. Management believes that these profitability measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

(see Page 10 for calculations). Management believes that these valuation measures are widely used by our investors, analysts and other interested parties.

CEO Comments

Edward Pitoniak, Chief Executive Officer of VICI Properties, said, “In 2024, we announced our first large-scale Partner Property Growth Fund transaction with The Venetian Resort Las Vegas, in which we agreed to invest up to $700.0 million of capital in exchange for incremental rent added to our existing lease. We continued to expand and develop relationships providing us the opportunity to invest capital with exceptional operators, including the team at The Venetian, our new relationship with the Homefield team and our continued partnership with Great Wolf, all of which contributed to total 2024 capital commitments of $1.1 billion at a weighted average initial yield of 8.1%. We continued to be recognized for the quality of our balance sheet and received a credit rating upgrade from Moody’s to Baa3 in November 2024, enabling VICI to achieve investment grade credit ratings across all three rating agencies. Amidst a persistently volatile market backdrop in 2024, VICI remained patient, opportunistic and dedicated to rigorous quality and risk management. We believe this discipline, together with our deep relationships, will allow us to continue to deliver long-term, sustainable, high-quality growth to our shareholders.

We are also thrilled to announce that, subsequent to quarter-end, we invested $300.0 million into a mezzanine loan to support the development of One Beverly Hills, representing a very exciting new strategic relationship with project sponsors Cain International and Eldridge Industries. Not only is One Beverly Hills an opportunity to invest in place-based history and experiential luxury, but it also initiates our relationship with sponsors who are deeply integrated in the experiential sector.”

Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2024 Acquisitions and Portfolio Activity

Acquisitions and Investment Activity

In 2024, the Company announced approximately $1.1 billion in capital commitments at a weighted average initial yield of 8.1%. These investments include: (i) the up to $105.0 million construction loan to affiliates of Homefield Kansas City (“Homefield”), (ii) the up to $700.0 million commitment to The Venetian Resort Las Vegas (“The Venetian Resort”) through our Partner Property Growth Fund strategy, and (iii) the $250.0 million CMBS mezzanine loan financing to Great Wolf Resorts, Inc. (“Great Wolf”).

On January 23, 2024, the Company announced that it had entered into a construction loan agreement for up to $105.0 million in financing to Homefield to fund the development of a Margaritaville Resort in Kansas City, Kansas. Simultaneous with entering into the loan agreement, the Company entered into a call right agreement that provides the Company with a call option on (i) the Margaritaville Resort, (ii) the new Homefield youth sports training facility, (iii) the new Homefield baseball center, and (iv) the existing Homefield youth sports complex in Olathe, Kansas. The Company also received a right of first refusal to acquire the real estate of any future Homefield property, should Homefield elect to monetize such assets in a sale-leaseback transaction. If the call option is exercised, all of the properties, including the Margaritaville Resort, will be subject to a single long-term triple net master lease with the Company.

On May 1, 2024, the Company announced an agreement to provide up to $700.0 million of capital to The Venetian Resort for extensive reinvestment projects through its Partner Property Growth Fund strategy (the “Venetian Capital Investment”). The Venetian Capital Investment is comprised of $400.0 million that was drawn in 2024 and an incremental $300.0 million that The Venetian Resort will have the option, but not the obligation, to draw in whole or in part until November 1, 2026. The initial $400.0 million investment was funded in three quarterly draws based on a fixed funding schedule: $100.0 million in Q2 2024, $150.0 million in Q3 2024 and $150.0 million in Q4 2024. Annual rent under the existing Venetian Resort lease (the “Venetian Resort Lease”) increased commencing on the first day of the quarter immediately following each capital funding at a 7.25% yield (the “Incremental Venetian Rent”). The Incremental Venetian Rent will begin escalating annually at 2.0% on March 1, 2029 and, commencing on March 1, 2031, will begin escalating on the same terms as the rest of the rent payable under the Venetian Resort Lease with annual escalation equal to the greater of 2.0% or CPI, capped at 3.0%. The initial $400.0 million drawn in 2024 was funded with a combination of cash and proceeds from the partial settlement of the Company’s outstanding forward equity sale agreements.

On May 9, 2024, the Company announced that it had originated a $250.0 million mezzanine loan (the “Mezzanine Loan”) as part of a $1.55 billion financing that also includes a single borrower group CMBS securitization (the “Great Wolf Loan”) for Great Wolf through its VICI Experiential Credit Solutions strategy. The Mezzanine Loan has an annual fixed interest rate and an initial term of two years with three 12-month extension options, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. In connection with the Great Wolf Loan origination, Great Wolf repaid VICI’s $79.5 million mezzanine loan for Great Wolf Lodge Maryland. The remaining $170.5 million capital commitment was funded with cash.

Subsequent to quarter-end, on February 19, 2025, the Company announced the establishment of a strategic relationship with Cain International and Eldridge Industries, pursuant to a non-binding letter of intent, dedicated to investing in high-growth, experience-driven real estate. The letter of intent expresses the parties’ shared intention to work collaboratively to identify and pursue experiential investment opportunities that meet each party’s investment objectives. The collaboration launched with VICI’s $300.0 million investment into a mezzanine loan related to the development of One Beverly Hills, a landmark 17.5-acre luxury mixed-use development. The mezzanine loan has an initial maturity in March 2026 and has one 12-month extension option subject to certain conditions. VICI funded the investment with a combination of cash on hand and drawing down funds under its existing revolving credit facility.

Other Portfolio Activity

On December 10, 2024, the Company entered into an amendment and consented to the assignment of the master lease agreement with PURE to an affiliate of IGP, in connection with the IGP affiliate’s acquisition of the operating assets of PURE. In connection with entering into the amendment to the PURE master lease, the Company received a 5-year right of first offer (“ROFO”) on future sale-leaseback transactions. Any additional properties acquired pursuant to the ROFO will be added to the PURE master lease. The current annual base rent of C$22.3 million (US$15.5 million based on the CAD:USD exchange rate as of December 31, 2024) and other economic terms of the PURE master lease remained unchanged, including a base term of 25-years with four 5-year tenant renewal options, escalation of 1.25% per annum in lease year 3, with escalation equal to the greater of 1.5% and Canadian CPI (capped at 2.5%) starting in lease year 4, and a minimum capital expenditure requirement equal to 1.0% of annual net revenue. The PURE master lease, now in lease year 3 having escalated on February 1, 2025, encompasses the following assets in Alberta, Canada: PURE Casino Edmonton, PURE Casino Yellowhead, PURE Casino Calgary and PURE Casino Lethbridge.

Fourth Quarter 2024 and Full Year 2024 Capital Markets and Subsequent Activity

The weighted average interest rate for the March 2024 Notes is 5.929%, and the adjusted weighted average interest rate, after taking into account the impact of forward-starting interest rate swaps, is 5.897%. The Company used the net proceeds of this offering to redeem its outstanding (i) $1,024.2 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due May 2024 and (ii) $25.8 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.625% Senior Notes due May 2024.

On December 19, 2024, VICI LP issued $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.125% investment grade senior notes due 2031.

The Company used the proceeds of this offering to redeem its outstanding $750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.500% Senior Notes due February 2025.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company settled a total of 13,194,379 shares under the outstanding ATM forward sale agreements (including those entered into in 2023) in exchange for approximately $379.4 million of aggregate net proceeds at an average forward share price of $28.75.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company sold a total of 12,015,399 shares under its ATM program at a weighted average gross price per share of $32.01 for an aggregate value of $384.6 million, all of which were sold subject to forward sale agreements.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company drew down £5.5 million (approximately US$6.9 million as of year-end exchange rates) under its prior revolving credit facility to provide incremental funding for the Cabot Highlands Loan. The Company also repaid C$27.0 million (approximately US$18.8 million as of year-end exchange rates) on its prior revolving credit facility.

Subsequent to quarter end, on February 3, 2025, the Company entered into a new $2.5 billion multicurrency unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) replacing the prior unsecured revolving credit facility of the same size. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on February 3, 2029 and can be extended for two successive six-month terms or one twelve-month term. The Company has an option to increase the Revolving Credit Facility by up to $1.0 billion, to the extent that any one or more lenders (from the syndicate or otherwise) agree to provide such additional credit extensions.

Dividends

On December 5, 2024, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.4325 per share, representing a 4.2% increase year-over-year.

2025 Guidance

The Company is providing preliminary AFFO guidance for the full year 2025. In determining AFFO, the Company adjusts for certain items that are otherwise included in determining net income attributable to common stockholders, the most comparable generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) financial measure. In reliance on the exception provided by applicable rules, the Company does not provide guidance for GAAP net income, the most comparable GAAP financial measure, or a reconciliation of 2025 AFFO to GAAP net income because we are unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount of the change in non-cash allowance for credit losses under ASU No. 2016-13 – Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326) (“ASC 326”) for a future period. The non-cash change in allowance for credit losses under ASC 326 with respect to a future period is dependent upon future events that are entirely outside of the Company’s control and may not be reliably predicted, including its tenants’ respective financial performance, fluctuations in the trading price of their common stock, credit ratings and outlook (each to the extent applicable), as well as broader macroeconomic performance. Based on past results and, as disclosed in our historical financial results, the impact of these adjustments could be material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s reported GAAP results. For more information, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures.”

The Company estimates AFFO for the year ending December 31, 2025 will be between $2,455 million and $2,485 million, or between $2.32 and $2.35 per diluted share. Guidance does not include the impact on operating results from any pending or possible future acquisitions or dispositions, capital markets activity, or other non-recurring transactions.

The following is a summary of the Company’s full-year 2025 guidance:

The above per share estimates reflect the dilutive effect of the pending 12,015,399 shares related to the outstanding forward sale agreements as calculated under the treasury stock method. VICI partnership units held by third parties are reflected as non-controlling interests and the income allocable to them is deducted from net income to arrive at net income attributable to common stockholders and AFFO; accordingly, guidance represents AFFO per share attributable to common stockholders based solely on outstanding shares of VICI common stock.

The estimates set forth above reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release. The estimates set forth above may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors and there can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above.

risks associated with our transactions, including our ability or failure to realize the anticipated benefits thereof; our dependence on our tenants at our properties and their affiliates that serve as guarantors of the lease payments and the negative consequences any material adverse effect on their respective businesses could have on us; the possibility that any transactions may not be consummated on the terms or timeframes contemplated, or at all, including our ability to obtain the financing necessary to complete any acquisitions on the terms we expect in a timely manner, or at all, the ability of the parties to satisfy the conditions set forth in the definitive transaction documents, including the receipt of, or delays in obtaining, governmental and regulatory approvals and consents required to consummate such transactions, or other delays or impediments to completing the transactions; the anticipated benefits of certain arrangements with certain tenants in connection with our funding of “same store” capital improvements in exchange for increased rent pursuant to the terms of our agreements with such tenants, which we refer to as the Partner Property Growth Fund strategy; our decision and ability to exercise our purchase rights under our put-call agreements, call agreements, right of first refusal agreements and right of first offer agreements; our borrowers’ ability to repay their outstanding loan obligations to us; our dependence on the gaming industry; our ability to pursue our business and growth strategies may be limited by the requirement that we distribute 90% of our REIT taxable income in order to qualify for taxation as a REIT and that we distribute 100% of our REIT taxable income in order to avoid current entity-level U.S. federal income taxes; the impact of extensive regulation from gaming and other regulatory authorities; the ability of our tenants to obtain and maintain regulatory approvals in connection with the operation of our properties, or the imposition of conditions to such regulatory approvals; the possibility that our tenants may choose not to renew their respective lease agreements following the initial or subsequent terms of the leases; restrictions on our ability to sell our properties subject to the lease agreements; our tenants and any guarantors’ historical results may not be a reliable indicator of their future results; our substantial amount of indebtedness and ability to service, refinance (at attractive interest rates, or at all) and otherwise fulfill our obligations under such indebtedness; our historical financial information may not be reliable indicators of our future results of operations, financial condition and cash flows; the possibility that we identify significant environmental, tax, legal or other issues, including additional costs or liabilities, that materially and adversely impact the value of assets acquired or secured as collateral (or other benefits we expect to receive) in any of our completed transactions; the impact of changes to tax laws and regulations, including U.S. federal income tax laws or global tax laws; the impact of changes in governmental or regulatory actions or initiatives; the possibility of adverse tax consequences as a result of our completed transactions, including tax protection agreements to which we are a party; increased volatility in our stock price, including as a result of our pending or recently completed transactions; our inability to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT; the impact of climate change, natural disasters, war, political and public health conditions or uncertainty or civil unrest, violence or terrorist activities or threats on our properties or in areas where our properties are located, and changes in economic conditions or heightened travel security and health measures instituted in response to these events; the loss of the services of key personnel; the inability to attract, retain and motivate employees; the costs and liabilities associated with environmental compliance; failure to establish and maintain an effective system of integrated internal controls; the risks related to us or our tenants not having adequate insurance to cover potential losses; our reliance on distributions received from our subsidiaries, including VICI Properties OP LLC, to make distributions to our stockholders; the potential impact on the amount of our cash distributions if we were to sell any of our properties in the future; our ability to continue to make distributions to holders of our common stock or maintain anticipated levels of distributions over time; and competition for transaction opportunities, including from other REITs, investment companies, private equity firms and hedge funds, sovereign funds, lenders, gaming companies and other investors that may have greater resources and access to capital and a lower cost of capital or different investment parameters than us.

Although the Company believes that in making such forward-looking statements its expectations are based upon reasonable assumptions, such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. The Company cannot assure you that the assumptions upon which these statements are based will prove to have been correct. Additional important factors that may affect the Company’s business, results of operations and financial position are described from time to time in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release presents Funds From Operations (“FFO”), FFO per share, Adjusted Funds From Operations (“AFFO”), AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA, which are not required by, or presented in accordance with, generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”). These are non-GAAP financial measures and should not be construed as alternatives to net income or as an indicator of operating performance (as determined in accordance with GAAP). We believe FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of our business.

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is considered a supplemental measure for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. Consistent with the definition used by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit), we define FFO as our net income (or loss) attributable to common stockholders (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding (i) gains (or losses) from sales of certain real estate assets, (ii) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) our proportionate share of such adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate.

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental operating measure to evaluate our performance. We calculate our AFFO by adding or subtracting from FFO non-cash leasing and financing adjustments, non-cash change in allowance for credit losses, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of real estate investments, amortization of debt issuance costs and original issue discount, other non-cash interest expense, non-real estate depreciation (which is comprised of the depreciation related to our golf course operations), capital expenditures (which are comprised of additions to property, plant and equipment related to our golf course operations), impairment charges related to non-depreciable real estate, gains on debt extinguishment and interest rate swap settlements, other gains, deferred income tax benefits and expenses, other non-recurring non-cash transactions, our proportionate share of non-cash adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate (including the amortization of any basis differences) with respect to certain of the foregoing and non-cash adjustments attributable to non-controlling interest with respect to certain of the foregoing.

We calculate our Adjusted EBITDA by adding or subtracting from AFFO contractual interest expense (including the impact of the forward-starting interest rate swaps and treasury locks) and interest income (collectively, interest expense, net), current income tax expense and our proportionate share of such adjustments from our investment in unconsolidated affiliate.

These non-GAAP financial measures: (i) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. In addition, these measures should not be viewed as measures of liquidity, nor do they measure our ability to fund all of our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to our stockholders, to fund capital improvements, or to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Investors are also cautioned that FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies, including REITs, due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. Our presentation of these measures does not replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.

Reconciliations of net income to FFO, FFO per share, AFFO, AFFO per share and Adjusted EBITDA are included in this release.

(4)  Metrics are presented assuming full conversion of limited partnership units to common shares and therefore before the income statement impact of non-controlling interests.

Peter Carlino, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of GLPI, commented, “We generated record fourth quarter and full year 2024 results reflecting growth across all key financial metrics for both the quarter and full year periods. On an operating basis, fourth quarter total revenue rose 5.6% year over year to $389.6 million while AFFO grew 5.1% to $269.7 million. Our record fourth quarter and full year financial results reflect GLPI’s recent acquisitions and financing arrangements, contractual escalators and growing base of leading regional gaming operator tenants, which together are expected to drive further growth in 2025 and beyond.

“Importantly, notwithstanding the still difficult transaction and financing environment, in 2024 GLPI successfully partnered with both new and existing tenants for four sale-leaseback transactions, as well as several financing commitments.   During the fourth quarter, GLPI completed the sale-leaseback transactions for Bally’s properties in Kansas City and Shreveport, which will be accretive to our 2025 financial results. This transaction was structured at an attractive cap rate, expands our partnership with Bally’s and grew our tenant portfolio which now includes 68 high-quality regional gaming assets.  

“GLPI’s near- and long-term success and growth highlights our focus on maintaining balance sheet strength, our access to equity capital, our ability to manage leverage and a commitment to partnering with and supporting our tenants through innovative financing structures that benefit both parties.   During the fourth quarter, the Company amended its credit agreement which increased the revolver capacity to $2.09 billion from $1.75 billion and extended its maturity to December 2028. Reflecting our disciplined operating strategy, a hallmark of the Company since our formation eleven years ago, and excluding the original transaction with PENN Entertainment, we have executed over $12 billion of gaming real estate related transactions, adding over $900 million of annual rent or financing revenue to our portfolio, at attractive and accretive average multiples.   Notably, our work in 2024 also resulted a healthy pipeline of growth opportunities for 2025 and beyond based on our ability to serve as a growth financing source for current and potential new tenants.

“GLPI’s first-hand experience as an operator in the gaming industry combined with our ability to deliver innovative financing solutions to current and prospective tenants are significant differentiators that drive our access to and ability to complete transactions. Our 2024 portfolio additions and recently completed transactions combined with contractual rent escalators and a strong balance sheet, set the stage for continued financial growth in 2025. GLPI is well positioned to deliver long-term growth based on our gaming operator relationships, our rights and options to participate in select tenants’ future growth and expansion initiatives, an environment conducive to supporting a healthy pipeline of new agreements, and our ability to structure and fund innovative transactions at competitive rates. Our tenants’ strength, combined with our balance sheet and liquidity, position the Company to grow cash flows, raise dividends and build value for shareholders in 2025 and beyond.”

Recent Developments

  • On February 12, 2025, Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) (“Boyd”) exercised its first 5-year renewal option on both the Boyd Master Lease and the Belterra Park Lease. As a result, both lease terms now expire on April 30, 2031.
  • On February 7, 2025, Bally’s Corporation (NYSE: BALY) (“Bally’s”) completed its merger transactions with Standard General L.P. and its affiliates, and pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, The Queen Casino & Entertainment Inc (“Casino Queen”) is now a subsidiary of Bally’s.
  • On February 3, 2025, the Company agreed to fund, if requested by PENN at their sole discretion, on or before March 31, 2029, construction improvements for the benefit of Ameristar Casino Council Bluffs in an amount not to exceed the greater of (i) the hard costs associated with the project and (ii) $150.0 million. The financing is being offered at a 7.10% capitalization rate. PENN shall be entitled, in its sole discretion, to structure such financing as rent or as a 5 year term loan that is pre-payable at any time without penalty. GLPI will own the entire land-based development regardless of the financing option selected by PENN.
  • On December 16, 2024, the Company completed the purchase of the real property assets of both Bally’s Kansas City and Bally’s Shreveport for total consideration of $395 million. The two properties are in a new Bally’s Master Lease (the “Bally’s Master Lease II”) that is cross-defaulted with the existing Bally’s Master Lease with initial cash rent pursuant to the agreement for the two new properties of $32.2 million. On September 11, 2024, the Company completed the $250 million acquisition of the land on which Bally’s permanent Chicago Casino will be constructed. With the completion of the land purchase, the Company is entitled to receive annual rent of $20 million, representing an initial cash yield of 8.0%. On July 12, 2024, the Company entered into a binding term sheet with Bally’s which included the Company’s intention to acquire the real property assets of Bally’s Kansas City Casino and Bally’s Shreveport Casino & Hotel as well as the land under Bally’s planned permanent Chicago casino site, as well as the Company’s intention to fund the construction of up to $940 million of certain real property improvements of the Bally’s Chicago Casino Resort. In aggregate, the transactions represented a blended 8.3% initial cash yield on the approximately $1.585 billion of investments. Further, the Company secured adjustments to the purchase price and related cap rate related to the existing, previously announced, contingent purchase option for Bally’s Lincoln facility, as well as the addition of a right for GLPI to call the asset beginning in October 2026.

The Company has committed to provide up to approximately $111 million of funding for the project ($35.1 million of which has been funded as of December 31, 2024), which is expected to be completed by September 2025. The casino will continue to operate except while gaming equipment is being moved to the new facility. The Company will own the new facility and Casino Queen will pay an incremental rental yield of 9.0% on the development funding beginning a year from the initial disbursement of funds, which occurred on May 30, 2024.
  • On May 16, 2024, the Company acquired the real estate assets of the Silverado Franklin Hotel & Gaming Complex, the Deadwood Mountain Grand casino, and Baldini’s Casino, for $105.0 million.

The initial aggregate annual cash rent for the new leases is $9.2 million, inclusive of capital improvement funding, and rent is subject to a fixed 2.0% annual escalation beginning in year three of the lease and a CPI based annual escalation beginning in year 11 of the lease, of the greater of 2.0% or CPI capped at 2.5%.

2025 Guidance

Reflecting the current operating and competitive environment, the Company is providing AFFO guidance for the full year 2025 based on the following assumptions and other factors:

  • The guidance does not include the impact on operating results from any possible future acquisitions or dispositions, future capital markets activity, or other future non-recurring transactions other than anticipated fundings of approximately $400 million related to current development projects and our expectation of settling the forward sale agreements in June of 2025.
  • The guidance assumes there will be no material changes in applicable legislation, regulatory environment, world events, including weather, recent consumer trends, economic conditions, oil prices, competitive landscape or other circumstances beyond our control that may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations.

The Company estimates AFFO for the year ending December 31, 2025 will be between $1.105 billion and $1.121 billion, or between $3.83 and $3.88 per diluted share and OP units.    

The Company does not provide a reconciliation for non-GAAP estimates on a forward-looking basis, including the information above, where it is unable to provide a meaningful or accurate calculation or estimation of reconciling items and the information is not available without unreasonable effort.   This is due to the inherent difficulty of forecasting the timing and/or amounts of various items that would impact net income, which is the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure. This includes, for example, provision for credit losses, net, and other non-core items that have not yet occurred, are out of the Company’s control and/or cannot be reasonably predicted.   For the same reasons, the Company is unable to address the probable significance of the unavailable information.   In particular, the Company is unable to predict with reasonable certainty the amount of the change in the provision for credit losses, net, under ASU No. 2016-13 – Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) in future periods.   The non-cash change in the provision for credit losses under ASC 326 with respect to future periods is dependent upon future events that are entirely outside of the Company’s control and may not be reliably predicted, including the performance and future outlook of our tenant’s operations for our leases that are accounted for as investment in leases, financing receivables, as well as broader macroeconomic factors and future predictions of such factors.   As a result, forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures may vary materially from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

Disclosure Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures

FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash Net Operating Income (“Cash NOI”), which are detailed in the reconciliation tables that accompany this release, are used by the Company as performance measures for benchmarking against the Company’s peers and as internal measures of business operating performance, which is used for a bonus metric. These metrics are presented assuming full conversion of limited partnership units to common shares and therefore before the income statement impact of non-controlling interests. The Company believes FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash NOI provide a meaningful perspective of the underlying operating performance of the Company’s current business.  This is especially true since these measures exclude real estate depreciation and we believe that real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. Cash NOI is rental and other property income, less cash property level expenses. Cash NOI excludes depreciation, the amortization of land rights, real estate general and administrative expenses, other non-routine costs and the impact of certain generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) adjustments to rental revenue, such as straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments and non-cash ground lease income and expense. It is management’s view that Cash NOI is a performance measure used to evaluate the operating performance of the Company’s real estate operations and provides investors relevant and useful information because it reflects only income and operating expense items that are incurred at the property level and presents them on an unleveraged basis.

FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash NOI are non-GAAP financial measures that are considered supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to GAAP measures. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding (gains) or losses from dispositions of property and real estate depreciation.  We have defined AFFO as FFO excluding, as applicable to the particular period, stock based compensation expense, the amortization of debt issuance costs, bond premiums and original issuance discounts, other depreciation, the amortization of land rights, accretion on investment in leases, financing receivables, non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities, property transfer tax recoveries, straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments, losses on debt extinguishment, capitalized interest, and provision (benefit) for credit losses, net, reduced by capital maintenance expenditures. We have defined Adjusted EBITDA as net income excluding, as applicable to the particular period, interest, net, income tax expense, real estate depreciation, other depreciation, (gains) or losses from dispositions of property, stock based compensation expense, straight-line rent and deferred rent adjustments, the amortization of land rights, accretion on investment in leases, financing receivables, non-cash adjustments to financing lease liabilities, property transfer tax recoveries, losses on debt extinguishment, and provision (benefit) for credit losses, net. Finally, we have defined Cash NOI as Adjusted EBITDA excluding general and administrative expenses and including stock based compensation expense.

FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash NOI are not recognized terms under GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures: (i) do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP; (ii) should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities; and (iii) are not alternatives to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. In addition, these measures should not be viewed as an indication of our ability to fund all of our cash needs, including to make cash distributions to our shareholders, to fund capital improvements, or to make interest payments on our indebtedness. Investors are also cautioned that FFO, FFO per diluted common share and OP units, AFFO, AFFO per diluted common share and OP units, Adjusted EBITDA and Cash NOI, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate companies, including REITs, due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definitions. Our presentation of these measures does not replace the presentation of our financial results in accordance with GAAP.

All subsequent written and oral forward-looking statements attributable to GLPI or persons acting on GLPI’s behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements included in this press release. GLPI undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. In light of these risks, uncertainties and assumptions, the forward-looking events discussed in this press release may not occur as presented or at all.

Fourth Quarter 2024 Results

Commenting on the quarter, Eric Lloyd, Chief Executive Officer of Barings BDC, stated, “We are pleased to have a strong end to 2024, which saw us deliver record full year net investment income, with a final quarter of robust results. Specifically, in the fourth quarter we out-earned the dividend on a pre-tax basis by more than 15%, further reduced our non-accrual rate to 0.3% of fair value, which further strengthens our position among industry leaders, and deployed $297.9 million towards attractive investments across a range of industries. We believe this consistently positive performance through the year demonstrates the merits of our focused, rigorous and disciplined approach to investing primarily in directly originated, senior-secured loans to middle-market borrowers. Based on these strong results, our confidence in our portfolio, and the momentum we have seen so far in 2025, we are announcing a first quarter dividend of $0.26 per share, and a special dividend totaling $0.15 per share which will be paid in three equal quarterly installments starting in March.”

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company reported total investment income of $70.6 million, net investment income of $29.5 million, or $0.28 per share, and a net increase in net assets resulting from operations of $24.8 million, or $0.24 per share.

Net asset value (“NAV”) per share as of December 31, 2024 was $11.29, as compared to $11.32 as of September 30, 2024. The decrease in NAV per share from September 30, 2024 to December 31, 2024 was primarily attributed to a net realized loss on investments, foreign currency transactions and forward currency contracts of $0.13 per share, partially offset by net unrealized appreciation on the Company’s investment portfolio, credit support agreements, foreign currency transactions and forward currency contracts of approximately $0.08 per share and net investment income exceeding the Company’s fourth quarter dividend by $0.02 per share.

Recent Portfolio Activity

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company made 15 new investments totaling $137.9 million, made investments in existing portfolio companies totaling $156.5 million and made a $3.5 million equity co-investment alongside certain affiliates in a portfolio company that specializes in providing financing to plaintiff law firms engaged in mass tort and other civil litigation. The Company had 12 loans repaid totaling $78.1 million and recognized a net realized loss on these transactions of $0.8 million. The Company received $110.4 million of portfolio company principal payments and sales proceeds and recognized a net realized loss of $0.5 million. The Company received $6.1 million of return of capital from its joint ventures, equity, and royalty rights investments. In addition, the Company sold $27.2 million of middle-market portfolio debt investments to its joint ventures, recognizing a net realized loss on these transactions of $0.4 million. In addition, investments in two portfolio companies were restructured, which resulted in a net realized loss of $4.7 million. Lastly, the Company received proceeds related to the sale of equity investments totaling $0.6 million and recognized a net realized gain on such sales totaling $0.3 million.

During the three months ended December 31, 2024, the Company recorded net unrealized appreciation totaling $9.2 million, consisting of net unrealized appreciation related to forward currency contracts of $27.9 million, net unrealized appreciation related to foreign currency transactions of $14.5 million, unrealized appreciation of $12.0 million on the Sierra credit support agreement with Barings, unrealized appreciation reclassification adjustments of $2.8 million related to the net realized losses on the sales / exits and restructuring of certain investments and unrealized appreciation of $0.3 million on the MVC credit support agreement with Barings, partially offset by net unrealized depreciation on the Company’s current portfolio of $46.0 million and deferred taxes of $2.3 million. The net unrealized depreciation on the Company’s current portfolio of $46.0 million was driven primarily by the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on investments of $37.4 million and the credit or fundamental performance of investments of $10.3 million, partially offset by broad market moves for investments of $1.7 million.

Liquidity and Capitalization

As of December 31, 2024, the Company had cash and foreign currencies of $91.3 million (including restricted cash of $13.5 million), $438.6 million of borrowings outstanding under its $825.0 million senior secured credit agreement, $1,025.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes outstanding and a net receivable from unsettled transactions of $9.0 million.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 22, 2024, the Board authorized a 12-month share repurchase program (the “Prior Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Prior Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase, during the 12-month period that commenced on March 1, 2024, up to $30.0 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current NAV per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, the Company’s stock price, applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Prior Share Repurchase Program is expected to be in effect until March 1, 2025, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Board has been expended. The Prior Share Repurchase Program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the Prior Share Repurchase Program. The Prior Share Repurchase Program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time. As of February 20, 2025, the Company had repurchased a total of 658,132 shares of its common stock in the open market under the Prior Share Repurchase Program at an average price of $9.79 per share, including brokerage commissions.

On February 20, 2025, the Board authorized a new 12-month share repurchase program (the “Share Repurchase Program”). Under the Share Repurchase Program, the Company may repurchase, during the 12-month period commencing on March 1, 2025, up to $30.0 million in the aggregate of its outstanding common stock in the open market at prices below the then-current NAV per share. The timing, manner, price and amount of any share repurchases will be determined by the Company, in its discretion, based upon the evaluation of economic and market conditions, the Company’s stock price, applicable legal, contractual and regulatory requirements and other factors. The Share Repurchase Program is expected to be in effect until March 1, 2026, unless extended or until the aggregate repurchase amount that has been approved by the Board has been expended. The Share Repurchase Program does not require the Company to repurchase any specific number of shares, and the Company cannot assure stockholders that any shares will be repurchased under the program. The program may be suspended, extended, modified or discontinued at any time.

Dividend Information

The Board declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.26 per share, which is payable as follows:

First Quarter 2025 Dividend:

Amount per share:

$0.26

Record date:

March 5, 2025

Payment date:

March 12, 2025

The Board also declared three special dividends totaling $0.15 per share to be paid in three equal installments during the first three quarters of 2025. The first $0.05 per share special dividend will be paid on March 12, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on March 5, 2025. The second $0.05 per share special dividend will be paid on June 11, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on June 4, 2025. The third $0.05 per share special dividend will be paid on September 10, 2025, to stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 3, 2025.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Barings BDC has adopted a dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) that provides for reinvestment of dividends and distributions on behalf of its stockholders, unless a stockholder elects to receive cash. As a result, when the Company declares a cash dividend or distribution, stockholders who have not opted out of the DRIP will have their cash dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of the Company’s common stock, rather than receiving cash.

When the Company declares and pays dividends and distributions, it determines the allocation of the distribution between current income, accumulated income, capital gains and return of capital on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). At each year end, the Company is required for tax purposes to determine the allocation based on tax accounting principles. Due to differences between GAAP and tax accounting principles, the portion of each dividend distribution that is ordinary income, capital gain or return of capital may differ for GAAP and tax purposes. The tax status of the Company’s distributions can be found on the Investor Relations page of its website.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to December 31, 2024, the Company made approximately $81.3 million of new commitments, of which $49.9 million closed and funded. The $49.9 million of investments consist of $49.8 million of first lien senior secured debt investments, $0.1 million of second lien senior secured debt investments and $18.3 thousand of equity investments. The weighted average yield of the debt investments was 9.5%. In addition, the Company funded $9.9 million of previously committed revolvers and delayed draw term loans.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide additional information about the Company’s results, the Company’s management has discussed in this press release the Company’s net debt (calculated as (i) total debt less (ii) unrestricted cash and foreign currencies (excluding restricted cash) net of net payables/receivables from unsettled transactions) and its net debt-to-equity ratio (calculated as net debt divided by total net assets), which are not prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP measures are included to supplement the Company’s financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and because the Company uses such measures to monitor and evaluate its leverage and financial condition and believes the presentation of these measures enhances investors’ ability to analyze trends in the Company’s business and to evaluate the Company’s leverage and ability to take on additional debt. However, these non-GAAP measures have limitations and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for analysis of the Company’s financial results as reported under GAAP.

These non-GAAP measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative to, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from non-GAAP measures used by other companies. In addition, these non-GAAP measures are not based on any comprehensive set of accounting rules or principles. These measures should only be used to evaluate the Company’s results of operations in conjunction with their corresponding GAAP measures. Pursuant to the requirements of Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K, as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company has provided a reconciliation of these non-GAAP measures in the last table included in this press release.

The results speak for themselves – Glassdoor recognized eXp as a top 10 place to work in 2024 for the 8th consecutive year, an honor that reflects the passion and dedication of our entire eXp community.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To provide investors with additional information regarding our financial results, this press release includes references to adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating cash flows which are non-U.S. GAAP financial measures that may be different from similarly titled measures used by other companies. These measures are presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of the Company’s financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The Company’s non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information about financial performance, enhance the overall understanding of past performance and future prospects, and allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management for financial and operational decision-making. These measures may also provide additional tools for investors to use in comparing core financial performance over multiple periods with other companies in the industry.

  • Adjusted EBITDA helps identify underlying trends in the business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of the expenses excluded in adjusted EBITDA. In particular, the Company believes the exclusion of stock and stock option expenses provides a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of operations and provides better transparency into results of operations. The Company defines adjusted EBITDA to mean net income (loss) from continuing operations, excluding other income (expense), income tax benefit (expense), depreciation, amortization, impairment charges, litigation contingency expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and stock option expense.
  • Adjusted net income helps identify underlying trends in the business that could otherwise be masked by the effect of significant non-operating related expenses that management does not consider ongoing. The Company defines adjusted net (loss) income to mean net (loss) income adjusted for net loss from discontinued operations and the after tax impact of the litigation contingency accrual and the impairment expense.
  • Adjusted operating cash flow helps the reader understand the Company’s cash flow.  The Company defines the adjusted operating cash flow to mean net cash provided by operating activities, excluding the change in customer deposits.

Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted net income, and adjusted operating cash flow, should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Safe Harbor Statement

The statements contained herein may include statements of future expectations and other forward-looking statements that are based on management’s current views and assumptions and involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results, performance or events to differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements about improvements in technology and operational processes; revenue growth; dividends; additions of teams and agents in the future; and financial performance. Such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof, and the Company undertakes no obligation to revise or update them. Such statements are not guarantees of future performance. Important factors that may cause actual results to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in forward-looking statements include changes in business or other market conditions; outcomes of ongoing litigation; the difficulty of keeping expense growth at modest levels while increasing revenues; and other risks detailed from time to time in the Company’s Securities and Exchange Commission filings, including but not limited to the most recently filed Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Financial Outlook

Rackspace Technology is providing guidance as follows:

  Q1 2025 Guidance
Revenue $653 – $665 million
Private Cloud Revenue $247 – $253 million
Public Cloud Revenue $406 – $412 million
Non-GAAP Operating Profit $19 – $21 million
Non-GAAP Loss Per Share ($0.07) – ($0.09)
Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) ($46) – ($50) million
Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate 26%
Non-GAAP Weighted Average Shares 245 million
   

Information about Rackspace Technology’s use of non-GAAP financial measures is provided below under “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”.

Definitions of non-GAAP financial measures and the reconciliations to the most directly comparable measures in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) are provided in subsequent sections of this press release narrative and supplemental schedules. Rackspace Technology has not reconciled Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Non-GAAP Loss Per Share, Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) or Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate guidance to the most directly comparable GAAP measure because it does not provide guidance on GAAP net income (loss) or the reconciling items between these Non-GAAP measures and GAAP net income (loss) as a result of the uncertainty regarding, and the potential variability of, certain of these items, such as share-based compensation expense. Accordingly, a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure guidance to the corresponding GAAP measure is not available without unreasonable effort. With respect to Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Non-GAAP Loss Per Share, Non-GAAP Other Income (Expense) and Non-GAAP Tax Expense Rate guidance, adjustments in future periods are generally expected to be similar to the kinds of charges and costs excluded from these Non-GAAP measures in prior periods, but the impact of such adjustments could be significant.

Conference Call and Webcast

Rackspace Technology will hold a conference call today, February 20, 2025, at 4:00pm CT / 5:00pm ET to discuss its fourth quarter and full year 2024 results. Interested parties may access the conference call as follows:

Forward-looking Statements

Rackspace Technology has made statements in this press release and other reports, filings, and other public written and verbal announcements that are forward-looking and therefore subject to risks and uncertainties. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included in this press release are, or could be, “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are made in reliance on the safe harbor protections provided thereunder. These forward-looking statements relate to anticipated financial performance, management’s plans and objectives for future operations, business prospects, outcome of regulatory proceedings, market conditions, and other matters. Any forward-looking statement made in this press release speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. Forward-looking statements can be identified by various words such as “expects,” “intends,” “will,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “confident,” “continue,” “propose,” “seeks,” “could,” “may,” “should,” “estimates,” “forecasts,” “might,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “planned,” “projects,” and similar expressions. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions and on information currently available to management. Rackspace Technology cautions that these statements are subject to risks and uncertainties, many of which are outside of our control, and could cause future events or results to be materially different from those stated or implied in this press release, including among others, risk factors that are described in Rackspace Technology, Inc.’s Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” contained therein.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This press release includes several non-GAAP financial measures such as constant currency revenue, Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share. These non-GAAP financial measures exclude the impact of certain costs, losses and gains that are required to be included in our profit and loss measures under GAAP. Although we believe these measures are useful to investors and analysts for the same reasons they are useful to management, as described in the accompanying pages, these measures are not a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP financial measures or disclosures. Other companies may calculate similarly-titled non-GAAP measures differently, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures. We have reconciled each of these non-GAAP measures to the applicable most comparable GAAP measure in the accompanying pages.

Beginning in the fourth quarter of 2024, we have updated the presentation of our non-GAAP financial measures to no longer exclude certain cash compensation paid to employees who remain employed with Rackspace which were previously included in “special bonuses and other compensation expenses” and “restructuring and transformation expenses” line items of our reconciliations. Additionally, we have removed “special bonuses and other compensation expenses” line item and the remaining adjustments are now presented within “restructuring and transformation expenses” line item. All prior period Non-GAAP Gross Profit, Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit, Adjusted EBITDA and Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share financial measures have been recasted to reflect current period presentation in the accompanying pages.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES


Constant Currency Revenue

We use constant currency revenue as an additional metric for understanding and assessing our growth excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations on our international business operations. Constant currency information compares results between periods as if exchange rates had remained constant period over period and is calculated by translating the non-U.S. dollar income statement balances for the most current period to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rate from the comparative period rather than the actual exchange rates in effect during the respective period. We also believe this is an important metric to help investors evaluate our performance in comparison to prior periods.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit

We present Non-GAAP Gross Profit because we believe the measure is useful in analyzing trends in our underlying, recurring gross margins. We define Non-GAAP Gross Profit as gross profit, adjusted to exclude the impact of share-based compensation expense, purchase accounting-related effects, certain business transformation-related costs, and costs related to the Hosted Exchange incident.

Non-GAAP Gross Profit $ 157.5     $ 141.2     $ 658.7     $ 562.6  

(a) Adjustment for the impact of purchase accounting from the November 2016 merger on expenses.
(b) Adjustment for the impact of business transformation and optimization activities, as well as associated severance, certain facility closure costs and lease termination expenses. Also includes payroll taxes associated with the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock.
   


Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA

We present Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA because they are a basis upon which management assesses our performance and we believe they are useful to evaluating our financial performance. We believe that excluding items from net income that may not be indicative of, or are unrelated to, our core operating results, and that may vary in frequency or magnitude, enhances the comparability of our results and provides a better baseline for analyzing trends in our business.

We define Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash charges for share-based compensation, transaction-related costs and adjustments, restructuring and transformation charges, costs related to the Hosted Exchange incident, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, goodwill and asset impairment charges, costs related to the closure of a UK office, the interest expense impact from the refinancing transactions announced in March 2024 (the “March 2024 Refinancing Transactions”), and certain other non-operating, non-recurring or non-core gains and losses, as well as the tax effects of these non-GAAP adjustments.

We define Non-GAAP Operating Profit as income (loss) from operations adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash charges for share-based compensation, transaction-related costs and adjustments, restructuring and transformation charges, costs related to the Hosted Exchange incident, the amortization of acquired intangible assets, goodwill and asset impairment charges, costs related to the closure of a UK office, and certain other non-operating, non-recurring or non-core gains and losses.

We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) adjusted to exclude the impact of non-cash charges for share-based compensation, transaction-related costs and adjustments, restructuring and transformation charges, costs related to the Hosted Exchange incident, costs related to the closure of a UK office, certain other non-operating, non-recurring or non-core gains and losses, interest expense, expenses for our Receivables Purchase Facility, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, and goodwill and asset impairment charges.

Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA are management’s principal metrics for measuring our underlying financial performance. Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA, along with other quantitative and qualitative information, are also the principal financial measures used by management and our Board in determining performance-based compensation for our management and key employees.

These non-GAAP measures are not intended to imply that we would have generated higher income or avoided net losses if the November 2016 merger and the subsequent transactions and initiatives had not occurred. In the future we may incur expenses or charges such as those added back to calculate Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit or Adjusted EBITDA. Our presentation of Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss), Non-GAAP Operating Profit and Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by these items. Other companies, including our peer companies, may calculate similarly-titled measures in a different manner from us, and therefore, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to similarly-tiled measures of other companies. Investors are cautioned against using these measures to the exclusion of our results in accordance with GAAP.

(f) Primarily consists of foreign currency gains and losses.
(g) All of our intangible assets are attributable to acquisitions, including the November 2016 merger.

We used a structural non-GAAP tax rate of 26% for all periods which reflects the removal of the tax effect of non-GAAP pre-tax adjustments and non-recurring tax adjustments on a year-over-year basis. The non-GAAP tax rate could be subject to change for a variety of reasons, including the rapidly evolving global tax environment, significant changes in our geographic earnings mix including due to acquisition activity, or other changes to our strategy or business operations. We will re-evaluate our long-term non-GAAP tax rate as appropriate. We believe that making these adjustments facilitates a better evaluation of our current operating performance and comparisons to prior periods.
(i) Primarily consists of foreign currency gains and losses and expense related to our Receivables Purchase Facility.
(j) Excludes accelerated depreciation expense related to facility closures.
   


Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share

We define Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) per Share as Non-GAAP Net Income (Loss) divided by our GAAP weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period on a diluted basis and further adjusted for the weighted average number of shares associated with securities which are anti-dilutive to GAAP loss per share but dilutive to Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) per Share. Management uses Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) per Share to evaluate the performance of our business on a comparable basis from period to period, including by adjusting for the impact of the issuance of shares that would be dilutive to Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) per Share.

(a) Reflects impact of awards that would have been anti-dilutive to net loss per share, and therefore not included in the calculation, but would be dilutive to Non-GAAP Earnings (Loss) Per Share and are therefore included in the share count for purposes of this non-GAAP measure. Potential common share equivalents consist of shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock units (including performance-based restricted stock units) or purchases under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as well as contingent shares associated with our acquisition of Datapipe Parent, Inc. Certain of our potential common share equivalents are contingent on certain investment funds managed by affiliates of Apollo Global Management, Inc. achieving pre-established performance targets based on a multiple of their invested capital, which are included in the denominator for the entire period if such shares would be issuable as of the end of the reporting period assuming the end of the reporting period was the end of the contingency period.
(b) Reflects the aggregate adjustments made to reconcile Non-GAAP Net Loss to our net income (loss), as noted in the above table, divided by the GAAP diluted number of shares outstanding for the relevant period.

In fourth quarter 2024, total U.S. housing starts and single-family housing starts decreased 6% and 4%, respectively, compared to the same period in 2023. For the full year 2024, total housing starts decreased 4%, while single-family housing starts increased 7%, compared to 2023. Single-family housing starts are the key demand driver for our sales.

Wood Products

Wood Products’ sales, including sales to Building Materials Distribution (BMD), decreased $30.0 million, or 7%, to $419.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from $449.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in sales was driven by lower sales prices for LVL and I-joists (collectively referred to as EWP) and plywood, as well as lower I-joist sales volumes. These decreases were offset partially by higher LVL and plywood sales volumes. Wood Products’ segment income decreased $30.5 million to $33.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from $64.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in segment income was due primarily to lower EWP and plywood sales prices.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, sales, including sales to BMD, decreased $100.3 million, or 5%, to $1,832.3 million from $1,932.6 million in 2023. The decrease in sales was driven by lower sales prices for EWP, as well as lower plywood sales volumes and prices. Other sales related to lumber and residual byproducts also decreased. These decreases were offset partially by higher EWP sales volumes. Wood Products’ segment income decreased $105.7 million to $231.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $337.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease in segment income was due primarily to lower EWP and plywood sales prices, as well as higher wood fiber and conversion costs. These decreases in segment income were offset partially by higher EWP sales volumes.

Comparative average net selling prices and sales volume changes for EWP and plywood are as follows:

Building Materials Distribution

BMD’s sales decreased $53.8 million, or 4%, to $1,438.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from $1,492.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. Compared with the same quarter in the prior year, the overall decrease in sales was driven by a 2% decrease in both sales price and volume. By product line, commodity sales decreased 4%, general line product sales increased 1%, and EWP sales (substantially all of which are sourced through our Wood Products segment) decreased 11%. BMD segment income increased $0.2 million to $70.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2024, from $70.5 million for the three months ended December 31, 2023. General and administrative expenses decreased $3.6 million, offset by increased depreciation and amortization expense of $3.6 million. The decrease in general and administrative expenses was due primarily to acquisition-related expenses in the prior year quarter for the BROSCO acquisition. Gross margins were flat when compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, sales decreased $12.2 million, or less than 1%, to $6,166.5 million from $6,178.7 million in 2023. The decrease in sales was driven by a sales price decrease of 3%, offset partially by a sales volume increase of 3%. Excluding the impact of the BROSCO acquisition on October 2, 2023, sales would have decreased by 2%. By product line, commodity sales decreased 5%, general line product sales increased 7%, and EWP sales decreased 4%. BMD segment income decreased $32.4 million to $303.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, from $335.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The decline in segment income was driven by increased selling and distribution expenses and depreciation and amortization expense of $37.4 million and $17.2 million, respectively. These decreases in segment income were offset partially by a gross margin increase of $15.1 million, resulting primarily from improved gross margins on general line products, offset partially by lower gross margins on EWP and commodity products. In addition, general and administrative expenses decreased $6.7 million, due primarily to $5.1 million of acquisition-related expenses in the prior year for the BROSCO acquisition.

Balance Sheet and Liquidity

Boise Cascade ended fourth quarter 2024 with $713.3 million of cash and cash equivalents and $395.7 million of undrawn committed bank line availability, for total available liquidity of $1,109.0 million. The Company had $450.0 million of outstanding debt at December 31, 2024.

Capital Allocation

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company used a combined $239.8 million of cash for capital spending and acquisitions. We expect capital expenditures in 2025, excluding potential acquisition spending, to total approximately $220 million to $240 million. Our 2025 capital expenditures range includes additional spending on multi-year investments to add I-joist production capabilities at our Thorsby, Alabama EWP mill, as well as the continuation of significant modernization projects at our Oakdale, Louisiana veneer and plywood mill. Our 2025 capital expenditures range also includes continued spending on the previously announced greenfield distribution centers in Texas and South Carolina in our BMD segment. This level of capital expenditures could increase or decrease as a result of several factors, including acquisitions, efforts to further accelerate organic growth, exercise of lease purchase options, our financial results, future economic conditions, availability of engineering and construction resources, and timing and availability of equipment purchases.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid common stock dividends of $228.8 million in regular and special dividends, which was comprised of $0.82 per share in regular dividends and a $5.00 per share special dividend. On February 7, 2025, our board of directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.21 per share on our common stock, payable on March 19, 2025, to stockholders of record on February 24, 2025.

For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company paid $194.9 million for the repurchase of approximately 1.5 million shares of our common stock. In January 2025, the Company repurchased an additional 250,000 shares of our common stock at a cost of approximately $30 million. Subsequent to these share repurchases, approximately 1.6 million shares were available for repurchase under our existing share repurchase program.

Outlook

Demand for the products we manufacture, as well as the products we purchase and distribute, is correlated with new residential construction, residential repair-and-remodeling activity, and light commercial construction. Residential construction, particularly new single-family construction, is the key demand driver for the products we manufacture and distribute. As reported by the U.S. Census Bureau, housing starts were 1.37 million in 2024. Current industry forecasts for U.S. housing starts are approximately 1.35 million in 2025. Single-family starts in 2024 outpaced 2023 levels by 7%, and are expected to remain at approximately 1.0 million, despite the affordability challenges consumers are facing in the current rate environment. Multi-family starts declined sharply in 2024 and are expected to continue to face headwinds in 2025 due to prohibitive capital costs for developers, combined with elevated levels of multi-family unit completions in 2023 and 2024. We expect 2025 to reflect modest growth in home improvement spending, as the age of U.S. housing stock, elevated levels of homeowner equity, and recent improvement in existing home sales will provide a favorable backdrop for repair-and-remodel spending. Ultimately, macroeconomic factors, the level and expectations for mortgage rates, home affordability, home equity levels, home size, levels of new and existing home inventory for sale, and other factors will influence the near-term demand environment for the products we manufacture and distribute.

As a manufacturer of certain commodity products, we have sales and profitability exposure to declines in commodity product prices and rising input costs. Our distribution business purchases and resells a broad mix of products with periods of increasing prices providing the opportunity for higher sales and increased margins, while declining price environments expose us to declines in sales and profitability. Future product pricing, particularly commodity products pricing and input costs, may be volatile in response to economic uncertainties, industry operating rates, supply-related disruptions, transportation constraints or disruptions, net import and export activity, inventory levels in various distribution channels, and seasonal demand patterns. In addition, changes in laws or government regulations, such as the imposition of tariffs, could impact our product pricing and input costs.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We refer to the terms EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA in this earnings release and the accompanying Quarterly Statistical Information as supplemental measures of our performance and liquidity that are not required by or presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP). We define EBITDA as income before interest (interest expense and interest income), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Additionally, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, which further adjusts EBITDA to exclude the change in fair value of interest rate swaps. We also disclose Segment EBITDA, which is segment income before depreciation and amortization.

We believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are meaningful measures because they present a transparent view of our recurring operating performance and allow management to readily view operating trends, perform analytical comparisons, and identify strategies to improve operating performance. We also believe EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are useful to investors because they provide a means to evaluate the operating performance of our segments and our Company on an ongoing basis using criteria that are used by our management and because they are frequently used by investors and other interested parties when comparing companies in our industry that have different financing and capital structures and/or tax rates. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA, however, are not measures of our liquidity or financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net income, income from operations, or any other performance measure derived in accordance with GAAP or as alternatives to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity. The use of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA instead of net income or segment income have limitations as analytical tools, including: the inability to determine profitability; the exclusion of interest expense, interest income, and associated significant cash requirements; and the exclusion of depreciation and amortization, which represent unavoidable operating costs. Management compensates for these limitations by relying on our GAAP results. Our measures of EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Segment EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to other similarly titled captions of other companies due to potential inconsistencies in the methods of calculation. For a reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and segment income to Segment EBITDA, please see the section titled, “Summary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Segment Information” below.

Forward-Looking Statements

This press release includes statements about our expectations of future operational and financial performance that are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including, but not limited to, statements regarding our outlook. Statements preceded or followed by, or that otherwise include, the words “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “project,” “estimates,” “plans,” “forecast,” “is likely to,” and similar expressions or future or conditional verbs such as “will,” “may,” “would,” “should,” and “could” are generally forward-looking in nature and not historical facts. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of our management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties. The accuracy of such statements is subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those projected, including, but not limited to, prices for building products, changes in the competitive position of our products, commodity input costs, the effect of general economic conditions, mortgage rates and availability, housing demand, housing vacancy rates, governmental regulations, unforeseen production disruptions, as well as natural disasters. These and other factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from such forward-looking statements are discussed in greater detail in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this press release. We undertake no obligation to revise them in light of new information. Finally, we undertake no obligation to review or confirm analyst expectations or estimates that might be derived from this release.

Summary Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements and Segment Information

The Consolidated Statements of Operations, Segment Statements of Operations, Consolidated Balance Sheets, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and Segment Information presented herein do not include the notes accompanying the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K and the Company’s other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Net income for all periods presented involved estimates and accruals.

EBITDA represents income before interest (interest expense and interest income), income taxes, and depreciation and amortization. Additionally, we disclose Adjusted EBITDA, which further adjusts EBITDA to exclude the change in fair value of interest rate swaps. The following table reconciles net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA for the (i) three months ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, (ii) three months ended September 30, 2024, and (iii) year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
