    SEGMENT RESULTS

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

    Live and Historical Racing

     First Quarter
    (in millions)2024 2023
        
    Revenue$248.9 $215.8
    Adjusted EBITDA 100.8  82.1
     

    Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 increased $33.1 million due to an $18.3 million increase attributable to growth at our Kentucky HRM properties, a $13.5 million increase attributable to growth at our Virginia properties and the opening of our Rosie's Emporia property in September 2023, and a $1.3 million increase at our other Live and Historical Racing properties.

    Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 increased $18.7 million due to a $12.9 million increase attributable to growth at our Virginia properties, which includes $5.8 million of savings related to the Exacta Transaction, and an $8.5 million increase from our Kentucky HRM properties. These increases were offset by a $2.7 million decrease at Churchill Downs Racetrack driven by increased maintenance and promotional expenses in preparation for the 150th Kentucky Oaks and Derby. 

    TwinSpires

     First Quarter
    (in millions)2024 2023
        
    Revenue$114.1 $96.3

    Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 increased $10.2 million due to a $9.4 million increase attributable to the Exacta Transaction and a $1.4 million increase attributable to our retail and online sports betting business, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in Horse Racing primarily driven by lower retail volume.

    Gaming

     First Quarter

    Revenue$243.2 $251.6
    Adjusted EBITDA 122.8  129.5
     

    Revenue for the first quarter of 2024 decreased $8.4 million due to a $6.3 million decrease in Pennsylvania primarily due to our decision not to renew the management agreement at Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin ("Lady Luck") in June 2023 and a $2.1 million net decrease at our other gaming properties primarily due to inclement weather in January 2024.

    Adjusted EBITDA for the first quarter of 2024 decreased $6.7 million primarily due to inclement weather in January 2024 at many of our gaming properties.

    All Other

     First Quarter

    Revenue$—  $0.3 
    Adjusted EBITDA (20.7)  (18.1)

    ACQUISITION / DISPOSITION UPDATE

    United Tote Sale

    On April 8, 2024, the Company closed on the sale of 49% of United Tote Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDI, to NYRA Content Management Solutions, LLC, a subsidiary of the New York Racing Association, Inc.

    CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

    Share Repurchase Program

    The Company repurchased 184,821 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $22.0 million based on trade date under its share repurchase program in the first quarter of 2024. We had $192.9 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on March 31, 2024.

    The Duchossois Group Share Repurchase

    On January 2, 2024, the Company closed on the agreement, dated December 18, 2023, with an affiliate of The Duchossois Group to repurchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $123.75 per share in a privately negotiated transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $123.75 million. This represented a 4.03% discount to the closing price on December 15, 2023 of $128.95. The repurchase of the shares was funded using available cash and borrowings under the senior secured credit facility and was made separately from and did not reduce the authorized amount under the Company's common stock repurchase program.

    NET INCOME

    The Company's first quarter 2024 net income was $80.4 million compared to $155.7 million in the prior year quarter.

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

    • an $86.2 million after-tax gain on the sale of our property in Arlington Heights, Illinois ("Arlington") in the prior year quarter; and
    • a $4.4 million after-tax net increase in adjustments related to transaction, pre-opening and other expenses.

    This was partially offset by:

    • a $5.2 million after-tax increase in other recoveries, net, related to non-recurring insurance claim recoveries.

    Excluding the items above, first quarter 2024 net income increased $10.1 million primarily due to the following:

    • a $14.7 million after-tax increase driven by the results of our operations,
    • partially offset by a $4.6 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, April 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. 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, April 25, 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.

    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;
      • 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 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.

    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.
