First Quarter 2022 Results

The Company's first quarter of 2022 net income was $42.1 million compared to $36.1 million in the prior year's first quarter.

The following items impacted the comparability of the Company's first quarter net income:

  • $6.3 million after-tax increase in transaction, pre-opening and other expenses from the prior year quarter related primarily to pre-opening expenses for Turfway Park and P2E transaction expenses;
  • $3.5 million after-tax non-cash impairment charge driven by the decision to exit the direct online Sports and Casino business; and
  • $0.7 million primarily related to our equity portion of Miami Valley Gaming's after-tax non-cash impairment charge related to prior expansion plans.

These increases were partially offset by:

  • $4.5 million after-tax benefit increase related to our equity portion of the non-cash change in the fair value of Rivers Des Plaines' interest rate swaps; and
  • $0.7 million after-tax decrease related to our equity portion of Rivers Des Plaines' legal reserves and transaction costs.

Excluding the items above, first quarter 2022 net income increased $11.3 million primarily due to the following:

  • $12.9 million after-tax increase from the prior year quarter driven by the results of our operations and equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates,
  • Partially offset by $1.6 million after-tax increase from the prior year quarter in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.
SEGMENT RESULTS

During the first quarter of 2022, we updated our operating segments to include the results of our United Tote business in the TwinSpires segment. We are evolving our strategy to integrate the United Tote offering with TwinSpires Horse Racing, which we believe will create additional business to business revenue opportunities. Results of our United Tote business were previously included in our All Other segment.

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

Live and Historical Racing

 First Quarter
(in millions) 2022  2021
    
Net revenue$87.2 $64.7
Adjusted EBITDA 27.9  18.3

For the first quarter of 2022, net revenue increased $22.5 million due primarily to an $11.0 million increase at Oak Grove Racing, Gaming and Hotel ("Oak Grove"), a $9.9 million increase from Derby City Gaming, and a $1.9 million increase at Newport Racing & Gaming ("Newport"). Oak Grove and Derby City Gaming reflected the benefit of the elimination of the operating restrictions that were in place during the first quarter of 2021 and overall continued growth in the businesses.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.6 million due to a $5.3 million increase at Oak Grove, a $5.2 million increase at Derby City Gaming, and a $0.7 million increase at Newport from the increase in net revenue. Partially offsetting these increases was a $1.2 million decrease at Churchill Downs Racetrack due to the timing of Derby Week expenses and a $0.4 million decrease from higher expenses at Turfway Park.

TwinSpires

 First Quarter
(in millions) 2022  2021
    
Net revenue$101.4 $105.0
Adjusted EBITDA 24.1  23.1

For the first quarter of 2022, net revenue decreased $3.6 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to a $6.9 million decrease from Horse Racing that was partially offset by a $3.3 million increase from Sports and Casino. Horse Racing net revenue decreased as a portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities in the current quarter instead of wagering online. Sports and Casino net revenue increased as a result of our expansion into additional states during 2021.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.0 million primarily due to a $3.7 million increase from our Sports and Casino business due to decreased marketing and promotional activities and a $0.6 million increase at United Tote. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease from Horse Racing of $3.3 million due to the reduction in net revenue.

Gaming

 First Quarter
(in millions) 2022  2021
    
Net revenue$179.2 $154.0
Adjusted EBITDA 91.1  82.4

For the first quarter of 2022, net revenue increased $25.2 million primarily due to certain capacity restrictions on patrons and gaming during the prior year quarter that were no longer in place at Oxford, Calder, and Presque Isle.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $8.7 million driven by a $5.6 million increase at our wholly-owned Gaming properties due to increased net revenue and a $3.1 million increase from our equity investments, both of which were due to certain capacity restrictions on patrons and gaming during the prior year quarter.

All Other

For the first quarter of 2022, All Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1.4 million driven by a $2.6 million increase in legal fees and timing of other Corporate expenses that was partially offset by a $1.2 million decrease in the Arlington operating loss in the current year quarter compared to the prior year quarter as a result of Arlington ceasing racing and simulcast operations at the end of 2021. We are excluding Arlington's operating results from Adjusted EBITDA in 2022 pending the sale of the property to the Chicago Bears.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Share Repurchase Program:

The Company repurchased 116,863 shares of its common stock in conjunction with its publicly announced share repurchase program at a total cost of $25.0 million in the first quarter of 2022. We had approximately $420.6 million repurchase authority remaining under this program as of March 31, 2022.

April 2022 Financing Transactions:

On April 13, 2022, the Company announced an amendment of its senior secured credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement Amendment”) to extend the maturity date of its existing revolving credit facility to 2027 and to increase the commitments under the existing revolving credit facility from $700 million to $1.2 billion (the "Revolver"). The Credit Agreement Amendment also provides for a senior secured delayed draw term loan A credit facility due 2027 in the amount of $800 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan A”) and makes certain other changes to its existing credit agreement. The interest rate applicable to borrowings on the Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan A will be secured financing overnight rate-based plus a spread, determined by the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The Company also successfully closed into escrow the previously announced offering of $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 5.750% senior notes due 2030.

A conference call regarding this news release is scheduled for Thursday, April 28, 2022, 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 dialing (877) 372-0878 and entering the pass code 9395627 at least 10 minutes before the appointed time. International callers should dial (253) 237-1169. An online replay will be available at approximately noon ET on Thursday, April 28, 2022, and will continue to be available for two weeks. 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 the Company's 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;
  • Legal reserves;
  • Pre-opening expense; and
  • Other charges, recoveries and expenses.

As of December 31, 2021, Arlington ceased racing and simulcast operations given the pending sale of the property to the Chicago Bears. Arlington's operating loss in the current year quarter was treated as an adjustment to EBITDA and is included in other 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. Refer to the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.
