“Our teams have been excited to welcome our guests back to our properties with enhanced safety and social distancing protocols,” said Bill Carstanjen, Chief Executive Officer.  “Our team is looking forward to a safe and successful 146th Kentucky Derby on September 5th when we can come together to celebrate this time-honored great American tradition.”

Second Quarter 2020 Net Loss Attributable to CDI

The Company's second quarter of 2020 net loss attributable to CDI was $118.8 million compared to net income attributable to CDI of $107.1 million in the prior year quarter. The Company's second quarter of 2020 net loss from continuing operations was $23.6 million compared to net income from continuing operations of $108.3 million in the prior year quarter. CDI had $95.2 million in net loss from discontinued operations in the second quarter of 2020 compared to $1.2 million in the prior year quarter.

The following items impacted the comparability of the Company's second quarter net (loss) income from continuing operations:

  • $4.8 million after-tax expense decrease related to our equity portion of the non-cash change in fair value of Midwest Gaming's (the parent company of Rivers Des Plaines) interest rate swaps; and
  • $0.6 million after-tax decrease of our equity portion of Midwest Gaming's recapitalization and transaction costs in the second quarter of 2019 that did not recur in the current year quarter;
  • Partially offset by:
    • $0.6 million non-cash tax impact related to the re-measurement of our net deferred tax liabilities in the second quarter of 2019 that did not recur in the current year quarter based on an increase in revenue related to states with higher tax rates; and
    • $0.6 million after-tax increase in expenses related to lower transaction, pre-opening and other expenses in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter.

Excluding these items, net (loss) income from continuing operations decreased $136.1 million primarily due to the following:

  • $135.2 million after-tax decrease driven by the results of our operations and equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates primarily due to the temporary closure of our gaming facilities as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; and
  • $0.9 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.

The Company's second quarter 2020 net loss from discontinued operations increased by $94.0 million compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the settlement of the Kater and Thimmegowda lawsuits during the second quarter of 2020 for $124.0 million ($95.0 million after-tax).

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19, including shelter-in-place orders, social distancing measures, travel bans and restrictions, and business and government shutdowns, have resulted and continue to result in significant negative economic impacts in the United States and in relation to our business.

In response to the measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19 described above, and for the protection of our employees, customers, and communities, we temporarily suspended operations at our properties in March 2020. In May 2020, we began to reopen our properties with patron capacity limitations and gaming restrictions. We also implemented other initiatives to facilitate social distancing and enhanced cleaning, such as increased frequency of cleaning and sanitizing of all high-touch surfaces, mandatory temperature checks of all guests and team members upon entry and required training for all team members on safety protocols. Certain amenities at our properties have continued to be suspended, including all of our food buffets and valet services, and certain restaurants and food outlets. The supplemental information in this release provides additional detail on the temporary closures or suspended operations and the respective reopening dates by segment and property.  

On March 25, 2020, as a result of the temporary closures and suspended operations described above, the Company announced the temporary furlough of employees at its wholly-owned and managed gaming properties and certain racing operations. As the Company has reopened these properties, certain employees have returned to work while others remain on temporary furlough due to the capacity restrictions at these properties. The Company is providing health, dental, vision and life insurance benefits to furloughed employees through July 31, 2020.

The Company also implemented a temporary salary reduction for all remaining non-furloughed salaried employees based on a percentage that varies dependent upon the amount of each employee’s salary. The most senior level of executive management has received the largest salary decrease, based on both percentage and dollar amount. Salaries for non-furloughed employees will resume at their annual base salary beginning with the start of the employee's first full pay period subsequent to July 31, 2020.

There have been a number of other aspects of our business that have been impacted by COVID-19 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, including the following:

  • The Company rescheduled the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby from May 1-2, 2020 to September 4-5, 2020.  On June 24, 2020, the Company received approval from the Governor of Kentucky and state public health officials for its plan to allow limited spectators to attend Kentucky Derby week events held September 1-5, 2020.
  • Horse racing content for wagering on our TwinSpires business ("TwinSpires") decreased, although handle increased as our customers wagered more on the content that was available.
  • Starting in mid-February 2020, U.S. and international sporting events were cancelled, which reduced sports betting content for our customers.

Turfway Park

On July 28, 2020, CDI’s Board of Directors approved the final design plans for the HRM and grandstand facility at Turfway Park. The final plans reflect total project capital of $200.0 million, which includes the Turfway Park acquisition cost and other previously approved capital. The Turfway Park facility is expected to open in the fourth quarter of 2021.

Segment Results

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

Churchill DownsSecond Quarter
(in millions)2020 2019
    
Net revenue$30.2  $193.1 
Adjusted EBITDA4.5  121.9 

For the second quarter of 2020, net revenue decreased $162.9 million from the prior year quarter due to a $149.4 million decrease from Churchill Downs Racetrack primarily due to the rescheduling of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby, and a $13.5 million decrease at Derby City Gaming due to the temporary suspension of operations. 

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $117.4 million in the second quarter of 2020 from the prior year quarter due to a $111.9 million decrease from Churchill Downs Racetrack primarily due to the rescheduling of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby and a $5.5 million decrease at Derby City Gaming due to the temporary suspension of operations.

Online WageringSecond Quarter
(in millions)2020 2019
    
Net revenue$121.6  $96.0 
Adjusted EBITDA38.8  22.2 

For the second quarter of 2020, net revenue increased $25.6 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to a $24.4 million increase at TwinSpires. U.S. thoroughbred industry handle decreased 18.9% during the second quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year quarter. Although horse racing content for wagering decreased, TwinSpires handle grew $100.7 million, or 21.6%, compared to the prior year, despite the rescheduling of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby, as our customers wagered more on the content that was available. Active players decreased 55.5% primarily due to the rescheduling of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby; however, net revenue per active player increased 191.9%

Our online sports betting and iGaming net revenues increased $1.2 million compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to a full quarter of iGaming results in Pennsylvania for the second quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year quarter. Sports betting net revenue growth was impacted by the suspension of U.S. and international sporting events beginning in mid-February 2020.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $16.6 million in the second quarter of 2020 from the prior year quarter primarily due to an $18.3 million increase from TwinSpires due to an increase in handle and net revenue per active player, partially offset by a $1.7 million decrease from increased marketing spend and costs associated with the continued build-out of our online sports betting and iGaming operations.

GamingSecond Quarter
(in millions)2020 2019
    
Net revenue$37.3   $177.8 
Adjusted EBITDA(2.0)  76.1 

For the second quarter of 2020, net revenue decreased $140.5 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to the temporary suspension of operations of all of our Gaming properties and the related loss of revenue at each property.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $78.1 million for the second quarter of 2020 from the prior year quarter primarily driven by a $50.2 million decrease at our wholly-owned Gaming properties from the decrease in net revenue and a $27.9 million decrease from our equity investments, both of which were due to the temporary suspension of operations of all of our Gaming properties.

For the period in which the properties were open in May and/or June through June 30, 2020, our wholly-owned regional casino properties (excluding racing operations) outperformed the same period in the prior year with 9% growth in net revenue, 38% growth in adjusted EBITDA and a 9 percentage point improvement in margin.

All Other

For the second quarter of 2020, All Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased $6.0 million primarily due to a $4.4 million decrease from Arlington due to the temporary suspension of operations, a $2.1 million decrease from United Tote due to a decrease in net revenue, and a $0.7 million decrease due to unfavorable results from the acquisition of Turfway Park in October 2019. Partially offsetting these decreases was a $1.2 million increase at our corporate operations primarily due to a reduction in accrued bonuses.

Capital Management

There were no repurchases of common stock in conjunction with the Company's publicly announced share repurchase program in the second quarter of 2020. We had approximately $147.1 million repurchase authority remaining under this program as of June 30, 2020.

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 Midwest Gaming; recapitalization costs related to the Midwest Gaming 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 the Company's portion of EBITDA from our equity investments.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

  • Transaction expense, net which includes:
    • Acquisition and disposition related charges;
    • Calder racing exit costs; and
    • Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
  • Stock-based compensation expense;
  • Midwest Gaming's impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from:
    • The impact of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps; and
    • Recapitalization and transaction costs;
  • Asset impairments;
  • Gain on Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction;
  • 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 condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Refer to the reconciliation of comprehensive income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.
