CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
 

Share Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased 93,874 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $13.0 million based on trade date under its share repurchase program in the second quarter of 2024. We had approximately $179.9 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on June 30, 2024.

Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A Facility Amendment

The Company successfully closed an amendment of its senior secured credit agreement to extend the maturity date of its revolving credit facility and Term Loan A facility from 2027 to 2029 and to make certain other changes to its existing credit agreement.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CDI
 

The Company’s second quarter 2024 net income attributable to CDI was $209.3 million compared to $143.0 million in the prior year quarter.

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

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

  • an $18.5 million decrease in after-tax non-cash impairment costs; and
  • a $5.8 million after-tax decrease in transaction, pre-open, and other expenses primarily related to Arlington exit costs in 2023.

This was partially offset by:

  • a $1.0 million increase of other items.

Excluding the items above, second quarter 2024 net income increased $43.0 million primarily due to the following:

  • a $49.1 million after-tax increase primarily driven by the results of our operations,
  • partially offset by a $6.1 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances and higher interest rates.

Conference Call

A conference call regarding this news release is scheduled for Thursday, July 25, 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.

European Gaming Congress 2024 (Warsaw, Poland)

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 and are included in other expenses, net in the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted 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.

$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:

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.
