Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In addition to GAAP financial measures, management uses Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDAR, Adjusted EBITDAR margin, Combined Revenues, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDAR and Combined Net Income as non- GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered a substitute for, nor superior to, financial results and measures determined or calculated in accordance with GAAP. Each of these non-GAAP financial measures is not calculated in the same manner by all companies and, accordingly, may not be an appropriate measure of comparing performance among different companies. We define Adjusted EBITDA as earnings before interest expense, net; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; stock-based compensation; debt extinguishment and financing charges; impairment losses; insurance recoveries, net of deductible charges; changes in the estimated fair value of our contingent purchase price obligations; gain or loss on disposal of assets, the difference between budget and actual expense for cash-settledstock-based awards; pre opening expenses; and other. Adjusted EBITDA is inclusive of income or loss from unconsolidated affiliates, with our share of non-operating items (such as interest expense, net; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; and stock-based compensation expense) added back for Barstool Sports, Inc. ("Barstool Sports") and our Kansas Entertainment, LLC joint venture. Adjusted EBITDA is inclusive of rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases (the operating lease components contained within our triple net master lease dated November 1, 2013 with Gaming and Leisure Properties, Inc. ("GLPI") and the triple net master lease assumed in connection with our acquisition of Pinnacle Entertainment, Inc. (primarily land), our individual triple net leases with GLPI for the real estate assets used in the Operation of Tropicana Las Vegas Hotel and Casino, Inc. and Hollywood casino at Meadows Racetrack, and our individual triple net leases with VICI Properties Inc. ("VICI") for the real estate assets used in the operations of Margaritaville Casino Resort and Greektown Casino-Hotel. Although Adjusted EBITDA includes rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases, we believe Adjusted EBITDA is useful as a supplemental measure in evaluating the performance of our consolidated results of operations. Adjusted EBITDA has economic substance because it is used by management as a performance measure to analyze the performance of our business, and is especially relevant in evaluating large, long-livedcasino-hotel projects because it provides a perspective on the current effects of operating decisions separated from the substantial nonoperational depreciation charges and financing costs of such projects. We present Adjusted EBITDA because it is used by some investors and creditors as an indicator of the strength and performance of ongoing business operations, including our ability to service debt, and to fund capital expenditures, acquisitions and operations. These calculations are commonly used as a basis for investors, analysts and credit rating agencies to evaluate and compare operating performance and value companies within our industry. In order to view the operations of their casinos on a more stand-alone basis, gaming companies, including us, have historically excluded from their Adjusted EBITDA calculations certain corporate expenses that do not relate to the management of specific casino properties. However, Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance or liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA information is presented as a supplemental disclosure, as management believes that it is a commonly-used measure of performance in the gaming industry and that it is considered by many to be a key indicator of the Company's operating results.

We define Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) plus rent expense associated with triple net operating leases (which is a normal, recurring cash operating expense necessary to operate our business). Adjusted EBITDAR is presented on a consolidated basis outside the financial statements solely as a valuation metric. Adjusted EBITDAR is traditionally used by analysts in valuing gaming companies subject to triple net leases since it eliminates the effects of variability in leasing methods and capital structures. This metric is included as supplemental disclosure because (i) we believe Adjusted EBITDAR is traditionally used by gaming operator analysts and investors to determine the equity value of gaming operators and (ii) Adjusted EBITDAR is one of the metrics used by other financial analysts in valuing our business. We believe Adjusted EBITDAR is useful for equity valuation purposes because (i) its calculation isolates the effects of financing real estate; and (ii) using a multiple of Adjusted EBITDAR to calculate enterprise value allows for an adjustment to the balance sheet to recognize estimated liabilities arising from operating leases related to real estate. However, Adjusted EBITDAR, when presented on a consolidated basis, is not a financial measure in accordance with GAAP and should not be viewed as a measure of overall operating performance or considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income because it excludes the rent expense associated with our triple net operating leases and is provided for the limited purposes referenced herein. Adjusted EBITDAR margin is defined as Adjusted EBITDAR on a consolidated basis (as defined above) divided by revenues on a consolidated basis. Adjusted EBITDAR margin is presented on a consolidated basis outside the financial statements solely as a valuation metric.

The Company defines Combined Revenues, as revenues of Penn National, Greektown Casino-Hotel ("Greektown"), Hollywood Casino Perryville ("Perryville"), and Sam Houston Race Park and Valley Race Park ("Sam Houston"), assuming that Greektown, Perryville, and Sam Houston (collectively, the "Acquired Properties") were a part of Penn National during the historical periods beginning on January 1, 2019, but excluding revenues of Resorts Casino Tunica ("Tunica") as if was not a part of Penn National during the historical periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company defines Combined Adjusted EBITDA as Adjusted EBITDA (as defined above) of Penn National and the Acquired Properties, assuming that the Acquired Properties were a part of Penn National during the historical periods beginning on January 1, 2019, but excluding Adjusted EBITDA of Tunica as if was not a part of Penn National during the historical periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company defines Combined Adjusted EBITDAR as Adjusted EBITDAR (as defined above) of Penn National and the Acquired Properties, assuming that the Acquired Properties were a part of Penn National during the historical periods beginning on January 1, 2019, but excluding Adjusted EBITDAR of Tunica as if was not a part of Penn National during the historical periods beginning on January 1, 2019. The Company defines Combined Net Income as net income of Penn National the Acquired Properties, assuming that the Acquired Properties were a part of Penn National during the historical periods beginning on January 1, 2019, but excluding net income of Tunica as if net income was not a part of Penn National during the historical periods beginning on January 1, 2019. Management believes that presenting Combined Revenues, Combined Adjusted EBITDA, Combined Adjusted EBITDAR and Combined Net Income for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2019 is useful for investors to evaluate the Company's performance for the three and nine month period ended September 30, 2021. These results do not reflect any cost savings from potential operating efficiencies or associated costs to achieve such savings or synergies that are expected to result from these transactions. The Company does not provide reconciliations of Combined Adjusted EBITDA and Combined Adjusted EBITDAR to net income (loss) on a forward-looking basis because the Company is unable to forecast the amount or significance of certain items required to develop meaningful comparable GAAP financial measures without unreasonable efforts. These items include gains or losses on sale or consolidation transactions, accelerated depreciation, impairment charges, gains or losses on retirement of debt, which are difficult to predict and estimate and are primarily dependent on future events, but which are excluded from the Company's calculations of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDAR.

In addition, this presentation includes property level results within our reportable segments for the current period and estimated operating trends within our reportable segments of the Company compared to the same periods in 2019 using monthly property level financials and internally generated daily operating reports. These results and trends are based on management estimates only using currently available information, which has not been reviewed by the Company's auditors, is not subject to the Company's normal control procedures and has not been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company does not prepare monthly or intra-month property level financials.

"Combined Adjusted EBITDAR." 3Q 2021 results reflect a gross-up of licensing revenue and expenses with respect to reimbursement revenue derived from market access skin arrangements, of which $44.0 million was related to gaming

taxes. There is no P&L impact as a result of the aforementioned gross-up related to gaming taxes.

Impacts to Adjusted EBITDAR and Margins

Based on actual performance across our reportable segments, we estimate Hurricane Ida and the Delta variant reduced Adjusted EBITDAR and margins for the quarter by approximately $30M and 85bps, respectively, within those segments. Other Segment results reflect expenses related to the California sports betting ballot initiative and Barstool sportsbook launches.
