Arlington Land Sale

| CAPITAL MANAGEMENT |
Term Loan A Increase
On February 24, 2023, the Company announced an amendment of its senior secured credit agreement to increase the loans under the existing Term Loan A credit facility due 2027 by $500 million (from $800 million to $1.3 billion). The Company used the net proceeds from the borrowings under the increased Term Loan A to repay outstanding loans under its existing senior secured revolving credit facility, pay related transaction fees and expenses, and for general corporate purposes.
2031 Senior Notes
On April 25, 2023, the Company closed an offering of $600 million in aggregate principal amount of its 6.750% senior notes due 2031. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under its Term Loan B Facility due 2024 and to fund related transaction fees and expenses, and intends to use the remainder of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Two-for-One Stock Split
At its regularly scheduled meeting held April 25, 2023, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a two-for-one stock split of the Company’s common stock and a proportionate increase in the number of its authorized shares of common stock. The additional shares will be distributed on May 19, 2023 to shareholders of record on May 5, 2023. The Company’s common stock will begin trading at the split-adjusted price on May 22, 2023.
| NET INCOME |
The Company’s first quarter of 2023 net income was $155.7 million compared to $42.1 million in the prior year quarter.
The following impacted the comparability of the Company’s first quarter net income:
- $86.2 million after-tax gain on the sale of the Arlington property.
This was partially offset by:
- $1.2 million after-tax net increase in adjustments related to our unconsolidated affiliates, transaction, pre-opening and other expenses.
Excluding the items above, first quarter 2023 net income increased $28.6 million primarily due to the following:
- $60.5 million after-tax increase driven by the results of our operations and equity in income from our unconsolidated affiliates;
- Partially offset by a $31.9 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.

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.
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 property sales;
- Legal reserves;
- Pre-opening expense; and
- Other charges, recoveries, and expenses
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 in 2022 and 2023 are treated as an adjustment to EBITDA and are 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. See the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.

Churchill Downs Incorporated Unveils Multi-Year Series of Capital Projects for Churchill Downs Racetrack
The Skye, Conservatory and Infield General Admission Projects Will Create World-Class Premium Hospitality for Kentucky Derby Guests
LOUISVILLE, Ky., Feb. 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Churchill Downs Incorporated (“CDI” or “the Company”) (Nasdaq: CHDN) announced today a multi-year series of capital projects that will enhance and expand the Kentucky Derby experience across three key areas of Churchill Downs Racetrack (“Churchill Downs”). The series of transformational projects are, collectively, the largest expansion and renovation undertaken in the 150-year history of CDI. The three projects are:
- The Skye Reconstruction and Expansion Project (“The Skye Project”),
- Conservatory Project, and
- Infield General Admission Project.
“These projects as well as key infrastructure improvements, reflect the Company’s commitment to providing world-class hospitality and premium seating options for guests for many decades to come,” said Bill Carstanjen, Chief Executive Officer of CDI. “We have a proven track record of prudently investing capital in the Kentucky Derby to create once-in-a lifetime experiences for our guests while also creating significant long-term value for our shareholders.”
The Skye Project

The Skye Project will focus on the section of Churchill Downs that starts just past the finish line and extends to the First Turn Club. This project will replace 11,500 existing seats that currently consist of uncovered box seats and dated dining areas with 13,300 seats providing a variety of premium hospitality experiences that include improved track views and upgraded amenities. The existing Skye Terrace structure will be replaced with a new 5-story structure that will transform the iconic Clubhouse turn. The first three floors of The Skye are expected to be operational for the 153rd Kentucky Derby in May 2027 and the remaining areas are expected to be completed for the 154th Kentucky Derby in May 2028. For the 152nd Kentucky Derby in May 2026 and throughout the project transition, Churchill Downs will provide ticketed guests in the existing Skye Terrace areas with the opportunity for alternative premium seating to ensure the same extraordinary bucket list experience.
Conservatory Project

The Conservatory Project will replace the temporary suites in the infield which line the homestretch of the racetrack. This project will replace 2,100 temporary seats with new permanent structures providing over 7,000 premium experiences for guests including 36 suites. Phase One will feature: the Pagoda Club and Terrace that will capture sweeping views of the grandstand and offer unprecedented visibility to the Kentucky Derby Winner’s Circle; the first Conservatory building with 9 upgraded suites as well as covered rooftop dining presenting unparalleled views of the racetrack, frontside, and infield; and the Stargazer Lounge on the first turn of the infield that will provide VIP guests a unique and private area to enjoy all the sights and spectacle. Phase One of the Conservatory Project is expected to be operational for the 152nd Kentucky Derby in May 2026. Phase Two and Phase Three of the Conservatory Project will involve further construction of Conservatory structures down the homestretch towards the starting gate and are anticipated to be operational for the 153rd Kentucky Derby in 2027 and the 154th Kentucky Derby in 2028, respectively.
Infield General Admission Project
The Infield General Admission Project will introduce three new permanent buildings within the infield that will provide guests with enhanced amenities for the Kentucky Derby. This development will improve the overall experience for general admission guests and will also create ticket upgrade opportunities with additional entertainment and rooftop viewing options. The first building will be open for the 152nd Kentucky Derby in 2026, followed by the second building for the 153rd Kentucky Derby in 2027, and the third building for the 154th Kentucky Derby in 2028.

Infrastructure Projects
CDI is also planning to invest in several infrastructure improvements at Churchill Downs anticipated to include backside improvements for horsemen and trainers as well as a new tunnel to the infield that will facilitate seamless access to and from the front side. The tunnel will serve as an immersive underground journey for guests delivering 150 years of Kentucky Derby storytelling magic and building excitement for the day ahead.
Investment Summary
CDI plans to invest the following capital in each of the projects between 2025 and 2028:
- Skye Terrace Renovation and Expansion Project – $455 to $465 million
- Conservatory Project – $320 to $330 million
- Infield General Admission Project – $60 to $70 million
- Infrastructure Projects – $45 to $55 million
Pending approval of incentives that must be approved first by the City of Louisville and then by the appropriate state agencies including the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development, CDI anticipates spending $120 to $130 million of this project capital in 2025 and expects to have all three projects as well as the necessary infrastructure improvements completed by the 154th Kentucky Derby in May 2028. CDI believes that these investments will lay the foundation for growth over the next decade and create significant shareholder value over the long term.
