Second Quarter 2021 Results

The Company's second quarter of 2021 net income attributable to Churchill Downs Incorporated was $108.3 million compared to net loss attributable to Churchill Downs Incorporated of $118.8 million in the prior year quarter. The Company's second quarter of 2021 net income from continuing operations was $108.3 million compared to net loss from continuing operations of $23.6 million in the prior year quarter.

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

• $8.1 million non-cash after-tax impact related to an asset impairment at Churchill Downs Racetrack related to revised capital plans associated with the first turn project,
• $4.8 million after-tax increase in Rivers Des Plaines' legal reserves and transaction costs,
• Partially offset by a $2.3 million after-tax expense decrease related to our equity portion of the non-cash change in fair value of Rivers Des Plaines' interest rate swaps, and
• $0.3 million after-tax expense decrease related to lower transaction, pre-opening and other expenses.

Excluding these items, second quarter 2021 net income from continuing operations increased $142.2 million primarily due to the following:

• $142.9 million after-tax increase driven by the results of our operations and equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates,
• Partially offset by $0.7 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.

Louisiana HRMs

During the second quarter of 2021, the Louisiana State Legislature passed a bill that was signed by the Governor of Louisiana to allow Fair Grounds to have up to 50 historical horse racing machines (“HRMs”) in its off-track betting facilities (“OTBs”). The Louisiana Racing Commission will oversee historical racing. Fair Grounds currently operates 15 OTBs and is developing plans to incorporate up to 50 HRMs in each of these facilities.

(in millions)	2021				2020
Net revenue	$	190.5			$	30.3
Adjusted EBITDA	98.4				3.6

For the second quarter of 2021, net revenue increased $160.2 million from the prior year quarter due to a $97.1 million increase at Churchill Downs Racetrack primarily due to the running of the 147th Kentucky Oaks and Derby with capacity restrictions in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the running of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby in the third quarter of 2020; a $32.2 million increase at Derby City Gaming primarily due to the temporary suspension of operations in the prior year quarter and the completion of the second outdoor patio which added an additional 225 HRMs in September 2020; a $25.6 million increase at Oak Grove as a result of the opening of the HRM facility in September 2020 and the hotel in October 2020; a $4.6 million increase at Newport Racing & Gaming ("Newport") due to the opening of the facility in October 2020; and a $0.7 million increase at Turfway Park primarily due to the temporary suspension of operations in the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $94.8 million in the second quarter of 2021 from the prior year quarter due to a $65.2 million increase from Churchill Downs Racetrack primarily due to the running of the 147th Kentucky Oaks and Derby with capacity restrictions in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the running of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby in the third quarter of 2020; a $19.3 million increase from Derby City Gaming due to the increase in net revenue, increased operating efficiencies, and the temporary suspension of operations in the prior year quarter; a $9.4 million increase at Oak Grove due to the opening of the Oak Grove HRM facility in September 2020; a $0.6 million increase at Newport due to the opening of the Newport facility in October 2020; and a $0.3 million increase from other sources.

TwinSpires	Second Quarter
(in millions)	2021				2020
Net revenue	$	135.9			$	121.7
Adjusted EBITDA	23.1				38.7

For the second quarter of 2021, net revenue increased $14.2 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to a $7.2 million increase from Horse Racing and a $7.0 million increase from Sports and Casino. Horse Racing net revenue increased as a result of an increase in handle of $50.9 million, or 9%, compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the running of the 147th Kentucky Oaks and Derby with capacity restrictions in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the running of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby in the third quarter of 2020. Sports and Casino net revenue increased as a result of our expansion in additional states and increased marketing and promotional activities.

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $15.6 million in the second quarter of 2021 from the prior year quarter primarily due to an $8.2 million decrease from Horse Racing due primarily to an increase in marketing and advertising expense associated with the running of the 147th Kentucky Oaks and Derby with capacity restrictions in the second quarter of 2021 compared to the running of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby in the third quarter of 2020, partially offset by an increase in net revenue; and a $7.4 million increase in the loss from our Sports and Casino business due to increased marketing and promotional activities.

Gaming	Second Quarter
(in millions)	2021				2020
Net revenue	$	186.0			$	37.3
Adjusted EBITDA	119.8				(1.8		)

For the second quarter of 2021, net revenue increased $148.7 million primarily due to the temporary suspension of operations of all of our Gaming properties and the loss of revenue at each property during the prior year quarter.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $121.6 million for the second quarter of 2021 from the prior year quarter driven by a $69.8 million increase from our wholly-owned Gaming properties and a $51.8 million increase from our equity investments, both of which were due to increased operating efficiencies and the temporary suspension of operations of all of our Gaming properties in the prior year quarter.

All Other

For the second quarter of 2021, All Other Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.4 million driven by a $4.9 million increase at Arlington and a $1.8 million increase at United Tote, both of which primarily resulted from the temporary suspension of operations in the prior year quarter. Partially offsetting this increase was a $4.3 million decrease from Corporate primarily due to an increase in accrued bonuses compared to the prior year quarter.

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, 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; 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;
• 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 consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Refer to the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income (Loss) to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.
