Adjusted EBITDA 61.2  30.6  287.5  175.0

Fourth Quarter 2022

  • Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $87.0 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to $62.4 million in revenue attributable to the Virginia properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, $6.9 million in revenue attributable to properties acquired in the Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, and a $17.7 million increase driven primarily by continued growth at our Oak Grove property and the opening of Turfway Park in September 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA 25.0  12.9  114.1  82.7

Fourth Quarter 2022

  • Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased $6.9 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to the decision to exit the direct online Sports and Casino business in the first quarter of 2022 and due to a decline in Horse Racing wagering.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $12.1 million from the prior year quarter due to a $14.3 million increase from our Sports and Casino business primarily due to decreased marketing and promotional activities and a $2.2 million decrease attributable to lower Horse Racing net revenue.

Total Year 2022

  • Net revenue decreased $16.2 million primarily due to a decrease in pari-mutuel handle as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of wagering online and the decision to exit the direct online Sports and Casino business in the first quarter of 2022.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 increased $31.4 million primarily due to a $40.0 million increase from our Sports and Casino business primarily due to decreased marketing and promotional activities and an $8.6 million decrease attributable to lower Horse Racing net revenue.

Fourth Quarter 2022

  • Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $39.4 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to $46.5 million attributable to the New York and Iowa properties acquired in the P2E Transaction and a $7.1 million decrease from seven of our existing wholly-owned properties in five states that was partially offset by growth at our Ocean Downs property in Maryland.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $13.4 million from the prior year quarter driven by a $17.9 million increase attributable to the New York and Iowa properties acquired as part of the P2E Transaction, a $1.2 million increase from our equity investments, and a $5.7 million decrease at our existing wholly-owned properties.

Total Year 2022

  • Net revenue increased $63.4 million primarily due to $46.5 million attributable to our New York and Iowa properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, $25.5 million in Maine, Florida, and Maryland as a result of certain capacity restrictions during the first half of 2021 and a $9.7 million increase in Louisiana as a result of the 2022 Jazz Festival that was not held in the prior year due to COVID-19 and shutdowns in 2021 due to Hurricane Ida that did not recur. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $18.3 million primarily from our Mississippi and Pennsylvania properties due to the current economic conditions.
  • Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 increased $10.0 million driven by a $17.9 million increase in New York and Iowa from the properties acquired as part of the P2E Transaction, an $11.6 million increase primarily from our properties in Maine, Florida, and Louisiana as a result of capacity restrictions in 2021 that did not recur, and a $2.8 million increase from our equity investments.

  • Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 decreased $2.4 million from the prior year quarter due to a $3.8 million increase in Corporate compensation related expenses driven by enterprise growth and increased legal fees that was partially offset by the elimination of the $1.4 million operating loss related to Arlington.

ACQUISITION / DISPOSITION UPDATE

Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC Acquisition:

On November 1, 2022, the Company completed the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC (“P2E”) with a base purchase price of $2.75 billion subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments. The P2E assets acquired included Colonial Downs Racetrack and six HRM entertainment venues in Virginia, del Lago Resort & Casino in New York, and Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Iowa, as well as the development rights for two properties currently under development in Dumfries and Emporia, Virginia with up to five additional HRM entertainment venues, and ONE Casino & Resort in collaboration with Urban One.

Exacta Systems, LLC Acquisition:

On December 19, 2022, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement under which we would acquire all the outstanding equity interests of Exacta Systems, LLC for total consideration of $250.0 million in cash, subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments. This transaction will provide the Company the ability to realize synergies related to the Company's recent acquisition of the HRM entertainment venues in Virginia.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Share Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased 146,724 shares of its common stock at an average share price of approximately $204.44 based on trade date in conjunction with its publicly announced share repurchase program at a total cost of $30.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2022. The Company repurchased 873,922 shares of its common stock at an average share price of approximately $200.78 based on trade date in conjunction with its publicly announced share repurchase program at a total cost of $175.5 million in 2022. We had $270.2 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on December 31, 2022.

Annual Dividend

On October 25, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors approved an annual cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.714 per outstanding share, a 7% increase over the prior year. The dividend was payable on January 6, 2023 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 2, 2022, with the aggregate cash dividend paid to each shareholder rounded to the nearest whole cent. The 7% increase marks the twelfth consecutive year that the Company has increased the dividend.

Capital Investments

We currently expect our project capital to be approximately $575 to $675 million in 2023, although this amount may vary significantly based on the timing of work completed, unanticipated delays, and timing of payments to third parties. We plan to use our operating cash flows, cash on hand, and the proceeds from our land sales to fund our capital project expenditures.

Term Loan A Increase

CDI has received commitments to increase our existing term loan A due 2027 from $800 million to $1,300 million and to make certain other changes to its existing credit agreement. The interest rate applicable to such increased loans will be SOFR-based plus a spread, determined by our total net leverage ratio. Closing on our term loan A increase is subject to finalizing documentation, approvals from certain gaming regulators and satisfaction of closing conditions, which is planned to take place within the next week. We intend to use proceeds from the term loan A increase to repay outstanding borrowings under our revolving credit facility.

A conference call regarding this news release is scheduled for Thursday, February 23, 2023 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.

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;
  • Gain on Calder land sale;
  • 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 is treated as an adjustment to EBITDA and is included in 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. See the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.
