CAPITAL MANAGEMENT |
Share Repurchase Program
On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million (“2021 Stock Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to any unspent amount remaining under the prior 2018 Stock Repurchase Program authorization. Repurchases may be made at management’s discretion from time to time on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
The Company repurchased the following shares of its common stock in 2021:

- 226,232 shares under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program at a total cost of $54.4 million
We had approximately $445.6 million repurchase authority remaining under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program as of December 31, 2021.
The Duchossois Group (“TDG”) Share Repurchase
On February 1, 2021, the Company repurchased 1,000,000 shares of its common stock for $193.94 per share from an affiliate of TDG in a privately negotiated transaction. The aggregate purchase price was $193.9 million. The Company repurchased the shares using available cash and borrowings under its senior secured credit facility. The transaction did not impact the Company’s remaining repurchase authority.
Annual Dividend
On October 26, 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an annual cash dividend on CDI’s common stock of $0.667 per outstanding share, a 7 percent increase over the prior year. The dividend was paid on January 7, 2022, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 3, 2021, with an aggregate cash dividend paid to each stockholder rounded to the nearest whole cent. This marked the eleventh consecutive year that the Company increased the dividend.

We plan to use our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and the proceeds from our anticipated land sales to fund our capital project expenditures.

A conference call regarding this news release is scheduled for Thursday, February 24, 2022 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 dialing (877) 372-0878 and entering the pass code 2463534 at least 10 minutes before the appointed time.

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 net income from continuing operations, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA.
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, adjusted net income from continuing operations, 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; recapitalization costs related to the Rivers Des Plaines transaction; transaction expense, which includes acquisition and disposition related charges, Calder racing exit costs, 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.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
- Transaction expense, net which includes:
- Acquisition, disposition, and land sale related charges; 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;
- Legal reserves;
- Pre-opening expense; and
- Other charges, recoveries and expenses
For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). See the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.

The 175,000-square-foot entertainment venue has 2,500 parking spaces and 62 acres of greenspace with a 7-acre public park.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT |
Share Repurchase Program
The Company repurchased 67,139 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $9.0 million based on trade date under its share repurchase program in the third quarter of 2024. We had approximately $170.9 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on September 30, 2024.
Annual Dividend
On October 22, 2024, the Company’s Board of Directors approved an annual cash dividend on the Company’s common stock of $0.409 per outstanding share, a seven percent increase over the prior year. The dividend is payable on January 3, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 6, 2024, with the aggregate cash dividend paid to each shareholder rounded to the nearest whole cent. This marks the fourteenth consecutive year that the Company has increased the dividend per share.
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.

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.

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.
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:
- 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.

Important factors, that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include the following: the occurrence of extraordinary events, such as terrorist attacks, public health threats, civil unrest, and inclement weather, including as a result of climate change; the effect of economic conditions on our consumers’ confidence and discretionary spending or our access to credit, including the impact of inflation; additional or increased taxes and fees; the impact of any pandemics, epidemics, or outbreaks of infectious diseases, and related economic matters on our results of operations, financial conditions and prospects; lack of confidence in the integrity of our core businesses or any deterioration in our reputation; loss of key or highly skilled personnel, as well as general disruptions in the general labor market; the impact of significant competition, and the expectation that competition levels will increase; changes in consumer preferences, attendance, wagering, and sponsorships; risks associated with equity investments, strategic alliances and other third-party agreements; inability to respond to rapid technological changes in a timely manner; concentration and evolution of slot machine and historical racing machine (HRM) manufacturing and other technology conditions that could impose additional costs; failure to enter into or maintain agreements with industry constituents, including horsemen and other racetracks; inability to successfully focus on market access and retail operations for our TwinSpires sports betting business and effectively compete; online security risk, including cyber-security breaches, or loss or misuse of our stored information as a result of a breach including customers’ personal information could lead to government enforcement actions or other litigation; reliance on our technology services and catastrophic events and system failures disrupting our operations; inability to identify, complete, or fully realize the benefits of our proposed acquisitions, divestitures, development of new venues or the expansion of existing facilities on time, on budget, or as planned; difficulty in integrating recent or future acquisitions into our operations; cost overruns and other uncertainties associated with the development of new venues and the expansion of existing facilities; general risks related to real estate ownership and significant expenditures, including risks related to environmental liabilities; personal injury litigation related to injuries occurring at our racetracks; compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or other similar laws and regulations, or applicable anti-money laundering regulations; payment-related risks, such as risk associated with fraudulent credit card or debit card use; work stoppages and labor problems; risks related to pending or future legal proceedings and other actions; highly regulated operations and changes in the regulatory environment could adversely affect our business; restrictions in our debt facilities limiting our flexibility to operate our business; failure to comply with the financial ratios and other covenants in our debt facilities and other indebtedness; increases to interest rates (due to inflation or otherwise), disruption in the credit markets or changes to our credit ratings may adversely affect our business; increase in our insurance costs, or inability to obtain similar insurance coverage in the future, and any inability to recover under our insurance policies for damages sustained at our properties in the event of inclement weather and casualty events; and other factors described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
