Insights
The reported increase in net revenue to $2.5 billion, a 36% rise, is a significant indicator of Churchill Downs Incorporated's (CDI) robust growth and successful expansion efforts. This growth is particularly notable given the broader economic context where many businesses have faced headwinds. The expansion of gaming floors and amenities, along with the strategic acquisitions such as Exacta Systems, LLC, have evidently contributed to the company's top-line growth. However, the 5% decrease in net income suggests margin pressures or increased expenses that investors should be aware of. This could be indicative of higher operating costs or one-time expenses associated with acquisitions and expansions.
The Adjusted EBITDA increase of 34% is an important measure for investors as it reflects the company's profitability from core operations by excluding non-recurring items. The record contribution from Derby Week and the opening of new entertainment venues are likely major contributors to this growth. Investors should consider the sustainability of these revenue streams and the potential for similar events or expansions to drive future growth.
CDI's capital management strategies, including share repurchases and an increased dividend, reflect a shareholder-friendly approach and a strong balance sheet. The share repurchase at a premium and the increased dividend for the thirteenth consecutive year could be seen as management's confidence in the company's long-term prospects. However, the net bank leverage of 4.0x warrants a closer look to evaluate the company's debt levels in relation to its earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization.
The expansion into new markets with the opening of Rosie's Gaming Emporium and Derby City Gaming Downtown and the acquisition of Exacta Systems, positions CDI in a favorable spot within the gaming and racing industry. The growth in revenue from external customers across most segments demonstrates the company's ability to attract and retain customers in a competitive market. However, the decrease in net income despite increased revenues suggests that market analysts should closely monitor the company's cost structure and efficiency of its growth strategy.
CDI's focus on historical racing machines (HRMs) through their entertainment venues in Virginia and Kentucky aligns with the broader industry trend of diversifying gaming options to attract a wider customer base. The record Derby Week all-sources handle indicates strong performance in the company's core horse racing segment, which is a positive signal for its traditional business lines. The strategic sale of the Arlington Heights property to the Chicago Bears not only generated substantial cash but also allowed CDI to streamline its asset portfolio and focus on more lucrative segments.
From a legal perspective, the transactions undertaken by CDI, including the acquisition of Exacta Systems and the sale of the Arlington Heights property, appear to be significant moves that could reshape the company's operational landscape. The Exacta acquisition, in particular, could have implications for the company's intellectual property portfolio and regulatory compliance given the nature of gaming systems. The repurchase of shares from The Duchossois Group at a specified price also raises considerations about shareholder agreements and insider transactions, which are subject to strict securities regulations.
Additionally, the increase in corporate compensation expenses driven by enterprise growth, as mentioned in the 'All Other' segment, could be a reflection of strategic hires or executive compensation adjustments. It's crucial for legal compliance that these changes adhere to corporate governance standards and are transparently disclosed to investors.

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;
- 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 property and asset sales;
- Legal reserves;
- Pre-opening expense; and
- Other charges, recoveries, and expenses.
On June 26, 2023, the Company's management agreement for Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin expired and was not renewed. The Company completed the sale of substantially all of its assets at Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin for an immaterial amount.
As of December 31, 2021, 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 2022 and 2023 are treated as an adjustment to 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.
