Second Quarter 2022 Results

The Company’s second quarter of 2022 net income was $339.3 million compared to $108.3 million in the prior year quarter.

The following items impacted the comparability of the Company’s second quarter net income:

  • $193.6 million after-tax gain on the sale of Calder land;
  • $8.1 million after-tax charge related to the 2021 asset impairment at Churchill Downs Racetrack that did not recur in 2022;
  • $4.7 million after-tax decrease in expenses related to our equity portion of Rivers Des Plaines’ legal reserves and transaction costs; and
  • $0.3 million after-tax benefit increase related to our equity portion of the non-cash change in the fair value of Rivers Des Plaines’ interest rate swaps.

These increases were partially offset by:

  • $2.8 million after-tax increase in expenses related to transaction, pre-opening and other expenses, net; and
  • $2.3 million after-tax increase in legal reserves.

Excluding the items above, second quarter 2022 adjusted net income increased $29.4 million primarily due to the following:

  • $38.6 million after-tax increase from the prior year quarter driven by the results of our operations and equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates,
  • Partially offset by $9.2 million after-tax increase from the prior year quarter in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.
SEGMENT RESULTS

During the first quarter of 2022, we updated our operating segments to include the results of our United Tote business in the TwinSpires segment. Results of our United Tote business were previously included in our All Other segment.

The summaries below present net revenue from external customers and intercompany revenue from each of our reportable segments:

Live and Historical Racing

  Second Quarter
(in millions)   2022     2021
       
Net revenue $ 275.9   $ 190.5
Adjusted EBITDA   163.9     98.4

For the second quarter of 2022, net revenue increased $85.4 million due primarily to a $69.3 million increase at Churchill Downs Racetrack due to the running of the Kentucky Derby in 2022 without capacity restrictions that were in place in 2021, an $8.5 million increase at Oak Grove Racing, Gaming and Hotel (“Oak Grove”), a $4.3 million increase from Derby City Gaming, a $2.9 million increase at Newport Racing & Gaming (“Newport”), and a $0.4 million increase at Turfway Park. The historical racing machine (“HRM”) properties benefited from the elimination of the capacity restrictions that were in place during the second quarter of 2021 and overall continued growth in the businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $65.5 million due to a $58.5 million increase at Churchill Downs Racetrack driven by the running of the Kentucky Derby in 2022 without capacity restrictions that were in place in 2021, a $4.0 million increase at Oak Grove, a $1.7 million increase at Derby City Gaming, and a $1.3 million increase at Newport, all of which were driven by increases in net revenue.

TwinSpires

  Second Quarter
(in millions)   2022     2021
       
Net revenue $ 138.5   $ 142.6
Adjusted EBITDA   33.9     24.6

For the second quarter of 2022, net revenue decreased $4.1 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to a decrease of $2.2 million from Sports and Casino and a $1.9 million decrease from Horse Racing. The decrease in Sports and Casino was driven by the decision to exit the direct online sports and casino business in the first quarter of 2022. Horse Racing net revenue decreased as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of wagering online in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.3 million primarily due to a $10.8 million increase from our Sports and Casino business due to decreased online marketing and promotional activities. This increase was partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease from Horse Racing due to a reduction in net revenue and a $0.3 million decrease from United Tote.

Gaming

  Second Quarter
(in millions)   2022     2021
       
Net revenue $ 184.5   $ 186.0
Adjusted EBITDA   106.8     119.8

For the second quarter of 2022, net revenue decreased $1.5 million primarily due to a decrease of $4.6 million at Harlow’s and a $4.4 million decrease at Riverwalk as a result of the current economic conditions, competitive pressures, and a mask mandate at Harlow’s that was discontinued in early June 2022. These decreases were partially offset by a $4.8 million increase at Oxford due to the lifting of restrictions that were in place during the prior year quarter, a $2.1 million increase at Fair Grounds from the 2022 Jazz Festival that more than offset the decline in Fair Grounds Slots revenue due to current economic conditions and the ongoing closure of our Houma off-track betting facility (“OTB”), and a $0.6 million net increase in all other properties.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $13.0 million driven by a $10.2 million decrease at our wholly-owned Gaming properties and a $2.8 million decrease from our equity investments. The decreases at our wholly-owned Gaming properties are the result of decreased revenue and increases in marketing and salaries expense. The decrease in our equity investments is also driven by increases in marketing and salaries expense.

All Other

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

For the second quarter of 2022, All Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.9 million primarily driven by a $3.1 million decrease as a result of Arlington not conducting live racing in the second quarter of 2022 as we ceased racing and simulcast operations at the end of 2021. We are excluding Arlington’s operating results from Adjusted EBITDA in 2022 pending the sale of the property to the Chicago Bears, which we anticipate to close in the first quarter of 2023.

ACQUISITION / DISPOSITION UPDATE

Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC (“P2E”) Acquisition:

On February 18, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of P2E for total consideration of $2.485 billion (the “P2E Acquisition”). The P2E Acquisition contemplates the Company acquiring the following properties: Colonial Downs Racetrack in New Kent, Virginia (“Colonial Downs”), six historical racing entertainment venues across Virginia, del Lago Resort & Casino (“del Lago”) in Waterloo, New York, and the operations of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Sioux City, Iowa (“Hard Rock Sioux City”).

The Company has obtained the acquisition of ownership interest approval for the Virginia properties from the Virginia Racing Commission. The P2E Transaction remains dependent on customary closing conditions, including the Company obtaining approvals from the New York State Gaming Commission and the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2022.

Calder Land Sale:

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

On June 17, 2022, the Company closed on the previously announced sale of 115.7 acres of excess land near Calder Casino for $291.0 million (or approximately $2.5 million per acre) to Link Logistics, a Blackstone portfolio company. The Company received cash proceeds of $279.0 million which was net of $12.0 million of transaction costs. We recognized a gain of $274.6 million on the sale of the land, which is included in other income (expense) in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The Company is planning on using certain proceeds of the sale to purchase property as part of the previously announced P2E acquisition and to invest in other replacement properties that qualify as Internal Revenue Code §1031 transactions to defer the federal income tax on the gain on the Calder land sale. The Company has identified two reverse like-kind exchange transactions for property acquired prior to the sale of the Calder land and a forward like-kind exchange transaction to acquire additional property for the Internal Revenue Code §1031 transactions.

The first reverse like-kind exchange involved our $9.9 million investment in real property for the Derby City Gaming Downtown facility in Louisville, Kentucky. This reverse like-kind exchange was completed in June 2022.

The second reverse like-kind exchange involves the Company’s investment in real property for the Queen of Terre Haute Casino Resort (“Queen of Terre Haute”) property in Terre Haute, Indiana. As of June 30, 2022, $10.0 million had been invested in real property for the Queen of Terre Haute. The Company plans to make additional investments in real property for the Queen of Terre Haute and expects to complete this reverse like-kind exchange in fourth quarter 2022.

The Company is planning on utilizing the remainder of the proceeds from the Calder land sale to execute a forward like-kind exchange transaction by purchasing property as part of the previously announced P2E Acquisition. The Company anticipates closing the P2E Acquisition prior to the end of 2022. If the acquisition of replacement property is not completed within 180 days of the Calder land sale, all applicable income taxes will be assessed on the remaining gain that was not deferred by acquiring replacement property.

Chasers Poker Room Acquisition:

On March 22, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Chasers Poker Room (“Chasers”) in Salem, New Hampshire. Chasers is a charitable gaming facility located approximately 30 miles from Boston, Massachusetts, that offers poker and a variety of table games. Following the closing of the acquisition, the Company plans to develop an expanded charitable gaming facility in Salem to accommodate historical racing machines. The Company expects the total investment in Salem, inclusive of the Chasers purchase price to be approximately $150 million. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Share Repurchase Program:

The Company repurchased 321,554 shares of its common stock at an average share price of approximately $191.37 based on trade date in conjunction with its publicly announced share repurchase program at a total cost of $61.5 million in the second quarter of 2022. We had approximately $359.1 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program as of June 30, 2022.

April 2022 Financing Transactions:

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

On April 13, 2022, the Company entered into the fourth amendment of its Credit Agreement (the “Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement”) to extend the maturity of its existing revolving credit facility to April 13, 2027 and to increase the commitments under the existing revolving credit facility from $700 million to $1.2 billion (the “Revolver”). The Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement also provides for a senior secured Delayed Draw Term Loan A credit facility due April 13, 2027 in the amount of $800 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan A”) which is part of the financing for the P2E Acquisition. The interest rate applicable to the borrowings on the Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan A will be SOFR plus a spread, determined by the Company’s total net leverage ratio. We also successfully closed into escrow the previously announced offering of $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior notes due 2030. The proceeds from the senior notes offering will also be used for the financing for the P2E Acquisition.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, the Company also uses non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA.

Advertisement
European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

The Company uses non-GAAP measures as a key performance measure of the results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. These measures facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and help investors to better understand the operating results of the Company by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business or operating results. The Company believes the use of these measures enables management and investors to evaluate and compare, from period to period, the Company’s operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. The non-GAAP measures are a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or diluted EPS (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric to provide a more accurate measure of our core operating results and enable management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure provided in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude discontinued operations net income or loss; net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest; changes in fair value for interest rate swaps related to Rivers Des Plaines; Rivers Des Plaines’ legal reserves and transaction costs; transaction expense, which includes acquisition and disposition related charges, as well as legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense; pre-opening expense; and certain other gains, charges, recoveries, and expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA includes the Company’s portion of EBITDA from our equity investments.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

  • Transaction expense, net which includes:
    • Acquisition, disposition, and land sale related charges;
    • Direct online Sports and Casino business exit costs; and
    • Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
  • Stock-based compensation expense;
  • Rivers Des Plaines’ impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from:
    • The impact of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps; and
    • Legal reserves and transaction costs;
  • Asset impairments;
  • Gain on Calder land sale;
  • Legal reserves;
  • Pre-opening expense; and
  • Other charges, recoveries and expenses.

As of December 31, 2021, Arlington ceased racing and simulcast operations given the pending sale of the property to the Chicago Bears. Arlington’s operating loss in the current year quarter was treated as an adjustment to EBITDA and is included in Other expenses, net in the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA.

For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. Refer to the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.

$460 Million Investment Creates a Worldclass Entertainment Destination Resort Supporting Horse Racing and Agriculture Industry in Virginia

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 07, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: CHDN) announced today the grand opening of The Rose Gaming Resort (“The Rose”) in Dumfries, Virginia. The worldclass entertainment resort includes 1,650 historical racing machines (“HRMs”), 8 bars and restaurants and a hotel with over 100 rooms and event space. The 175,000-square-foot entertainment venue has 2,500 parking spaces and 62 acres of greenspace with a 7-acre public park.

“Churchill Downs Incorporated is thrilled to deliver a destination resort that will be a major economic contributor to the Town of Dumfries and Northern Virginia,” said Bill Carstanjen, CEO of CDI. “Along with our local hiring commitments and strong family-supporting wages, we are committed to continued investment in Prince William County as we are proud to do for all of the communities in which we operate in Virginia.”

CDI invested $460 million in The Rose and has added approximately 500 permanent jobs. The development will contribute to the expansion of Thoroughbred horse racing in the Commonwealth of Virginia. As a result of the addition of the 1,650 HRMs, Colonial Downs Racetrack in New Kent Virginia will add 16 days of live racing to the 2025 racing season.

As part of a community partnership, the Company has committed $2 million to fund the design of a new community center to be built in Dumfries. Since 2021, CDI has also contributed $400,000 in cash and in-kind donations to area nonprofits through the Rosie’s Gives Back program.

These increases were partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease attributable to our Louisville and Western Kentucky HRM properties, a $1.4 million decrease attributable to Churchill Downs Racetrack, and a $0.8 million decrease attributable to proceeds for business interruption insurance claims in the third quarter 2023 that did not reoccur.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CDI
 

The Company’s third quarter 2024 net income attributable to CDI was $65.4 million compared to $61.0 million in the prior year quarter.

The following impacted the comparability of the Company’s third quarter 2024 net income to the prior year quarter:

  • a $3.0 million increase in after-tax non-cash impairment costs.

This was partially offset by:

  • a $1.7 million after-tax net decrease in transaction, pre-open and other expenses; and
  • a $0.6 million after-tax decrease of other items.

Excluding the items above, third quarter 2024 net income increased $5.1 million primarily due to the following:

  • a $10.5 million after-tax increase primarily driven by the results of our operations,
  • partially offset by a $5.4 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.

Conference Call

A conference call regarding this news release is scheduled for Thursday, October 24, 2024 at 9 a.m. ET. Investors and other interested parties may listen to the teleconference by accessing the online, real-time webcast and broadcast of the call at http://ir.churchilldownsincorporated.com/events.cfm, or by registering in advance via teleconference here. Once registration is completed, participants will be provided with a dial-in number containing a personalized conference code to access the call. All participants are encouraged to dial-in 15 minutes prior to the start time. An online replay will be available by noon ET on Thursday, October 24, 2024. A copy of the Company’s news release announcing quarterly results and relevant financial and statistical information about the period will be accessible at www.churchilldownsincorporated.com.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, the Company also uses non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and Adjusted EBITDA.

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

The Company uses non-GAAP measures as a key performance measure of the results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. These measures facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and help investors to better understand the operating results of the Company by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company’s core business or operating results. The Company believes the use of these measures enables management and investors to evaluate and compare, from period to period, the Company’s operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. The non-GAAP measures are a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or diluted EPS (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy, and allocate resources. We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric to provide a more accurate measure of our core operating results and enable management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of performance, as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity, or as an alternative to any other measure provided in accordance with GAAP. Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude discontinued operations net income or loss; net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest; changes in fair value for interest rate swaps related to Rivers Des Plaines; Rivers Des Plaines’ legal reserves and transaction costs; transaction expense, which includes acquisition and disposition related charges, as well as legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense; pre-opening expense; and certain other gains, charges, recoveries, and expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments and the portion of EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interest.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)
  • Transaction expense, net which includes:
    • Acquisition, disposition, and property sale related charges;
    • Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
  • Stock-based compensation expense;
  • Asset impairments;
  • Gain on property sales;
  • Legal reserves;
  • Pre-opening expense; and
  • Other charges, recoveries, and expenses.

As of December 31, 2021, our property in Arlington Heights, Illinois (“Arlington”) ceased racing and simulcast operations and the property was sold on February 15, 2023 to the Chicago Bears. Arlington’s results and exit costs in 2023 are treated as an adjustment to EBITDA.

On June 26, 2023, the Company’s management agreement for Lady Luck in Farmington, Pennsylvania expired and was not renewed. The Company completed the sale of substantially all its assets at Lady Luck for an immaterial amount.

For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.
