Churchill Downs Incorporated Opens Derby City Gaming Downtown in Louisville, Kentucky

CDI’s Sixth HRM Entertainment Venue in Kentucky Opens 150 Days before the 150th Kentucky Derby
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Dec. 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI”) announced today the opening of Derby City Gaming Downtown (“DCG Downtown”) in Louisville, Kentucky. The $90 million investment marks CDI’s sixth historical racing machine (“HRM”) entertainment venue in Kentucky. The public grand opening festivities included a commemorative ribbon cutting and a $40,000 charitable donation to Norton Healthcare Foundation and The Hope Buss, reflecting CDI’s commitment to the revitalization of downtown Louisville.
The 43,000 sq. ft. two-story Kentucky Derby themed entertainment venue includes a gaming floor with 500 state-of-the-art HRMs featuring some of the most popular and fan favorite themes on the market. DCG Downtown offers three unique food and beverage experiences: First Turn Sports Bar & Stage hosts the property’s Race & Sports Book along with a stage for live entertainment, Trophy Bar Bourbon & Cigars offers the finest bourbons and hand-rolled cigars with a smoking patio and Fascinator Wine Bar provides an intimate atmosphere with a refined wine list and small bites. The entertainment destination includes 130 on-site guest parking spaces and boasts an exterior façade wrapped with the region’s first naked-eye 3D video board. A Kentucky Derby gift shop is located on the main level of the property with a dedicated street entrance for all ages.
“As you all know, racing is a key part of our history and our culture. Churchill Downs brings folks from across the state and across our world together,” said Kentucky Governor, Andy Beshear. “This company isn’t just resting on where they’ve been, they’re laser focused on where they’re going. They’re working tirelessly to be even better to ensure their future and our future as Kentucky is brighter than ever.”
The development of DCG Downtown generated 400 construction jobs and will result in over 150 permanent jobs. CDI joined Messer Construction to focus project efforts on supplier diversity, economic inclusion and community engagement. Over $14 million of the investment was spent with Minority, Women and Veteran-owned subcontracting services.
“This project is one of which I’m particularly proud because in addition to its impact of the Kentucky horse industry, it’s going to bring new energy to our downtown and stimulate investments like it,” said Bill Carstanjen, CEO of CDI. “Derby City Gaming Downtown will give locals, bourbon tourists, convention attendees and all our visitors, another much needed entertainment facility in this region. Investing in downtown Louisville was more than a financial decision. It is an investment in the spirit and the culture and the future of our city.”
The opening of DCG Downtown coincides with the milestone countdown of 150 days to the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby. To celebrate, Churchill Downs Racetrack (“Churchill Downs”) unveiled the official Kentucky Derby 150 Mint Julep Glass and Kentucky Oaks 150 Lily Glass. Churchill Downs also launched the #MyDerbyMemory contest, inviting fans across the globe to share their Derby memories on social media for a chance to win two tickets to the 150th Kentucky Derby to be held on May 4, 2024.

Conference Call
A conference call regarding this news release is scheduled for Thursday, October 26, 2023 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 26, 2023. A copy of the Company’s news release announcing quarterly results and relevant financial and statistical information about the period will be accessible at http://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.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
- Transaction expense, net which includes:
- Acquisition, disposition, and property 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 property and asset sales;
- Legal reserves;
- Pre-opening expense; and
- Other charges, recoveries, and expenses.
On June 26, 2023, the Company’s management agreement for Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin expired and was not renewed. The Company completed the sale of substantially all of its assets at Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin for an immaterial amount.
As of December 31, 2021, 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 2022 and 2023 are treated as an adjustment to EBITDA.
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.
