Live and Historical Racing

 Third Quarter
(in millions) 2023   2022 
    
Revenue$225.5  $102.4 
Adjusted EBITDA 80.9   34.5 
        

For the third quarter of 2023, revenue increased $123.1 million driven by an $89.0 million increase attributable to the Virginia properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, a $14.7 million increase attributable to the properties acquired in the Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, an $8.8 million increase primarily due to the opening of Turfway Park in Northern Kentucky in September 2022, a $7.4 million increase from our Derby City Gaming property in Louisville, and a $4.3 million increase from our Oak Grove property in Southwestern Kentucky. These increases were partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease at Churchill Downs Racetrack due to the decision to move July race days as part of the Churchill Downs Racetrack Spring Meet to Ellis Park.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $46.4 million driven by a $38.3 million increase attributable to the Virginia properties acquired in the P2E Transaction and a portion of the benefit from the Exacta Transaction, a $7.3 million increase from continued growth at our Derby City Gaming property in Louisville and our Oak Grove property in Southwestern Kentucky, and a $2.9 million increase attributable to our other Live and Historical Racing properties. These increases were partially offset by a $2.1 million decrease at Churchill Downs Racetrack primarily due to the decision to move July race days as part of the Churchill Downs Racetrack Spring Meet to Ellis Park.

Revenue$112.4  $107.4

These increases were partially offset by a $1.4 million reduction in Sports and Casino revenue.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $2.8 million driven by a $3.1 million increase attributable to the Exacta Transaction, partially offset by a $0.3 million net decrease in Horse Racing and Sports and Casino.

Gaming

 Third Quarter

Revenue$244.9  $185.9 
Adjusted EBITDA 122.3   111.6 
        

For the third quarter of 2023, revenue increased $59.0 million driven by a $70.2 million increase attributable to the New York and Iowa properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, partially offset by an $8.7 million decrease in Pennsylvania primarily due to our decision not to renew the management agreement at Lady Luck, and a $2.5 million net decrease from our other gaming properties.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.7 million driven by a $25.0 million increase attributable to the New York and Iowa properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, partially offset by a $6.5 million decrease from our equity investments, a $4.9 million decrease from our other wholly-owned gaming properties, and a $2.9 million decrease attributable to proceeds for business interruption insurance claims related to Hurricane Ida. We received $4.1 million of business interruption insurance proceeds in the third quarter of 2022, compared to $1.2 million during the third quarter of 2023.

ACQUISITION UPDATE

Exacta Systems, LLC

On August 22, 2023, the Company completed its previously announced acquisition of Exacta.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Share Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased $37.3 million of its common stock in the third quarter of 2023 and had approximately $232.9 million of repurchase authority remaining under the Company's share repurchase program as of September 30, 2023, based on trade date.

Annual Dividend

On October 24, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved an annual cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.382 per outstanding share, a seven percent increase over the prior year on a split adjusted basis. The dividend is payable on January 5, 2024, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 1, 2023, with the aggregate cash dividend paid to each shareholder rounded to the nearest whole cent. This marks the thirteenth consecutive year that the Company has increased the dividend per share.

NET INCOME

The Company's third quarter of 2023 net income was $61.0 million compared to $57.0 million in the prior year quarter.

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

  • $0.9 million after-tax net increase in other nonrecurring expenses.

Excluding the items above, third quarter 2023 net income increased $4.9 million primarily due to the following:

  • $34.5 million after-tax increase primarily driven by the addition of the properties acquired as part of the P2E Transaction in the results of our operations;
  • Partially offset by a $22.7 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances and higher interest rates, and a $6.9 million after-tax decrease in the equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates.

Conference Call

A conference call regarding this news release is scheduled for Thursday, October 26, 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. Once registration is completed, participants will be provided with a dial-in number containing a personalized conference code to access the call. All participants are encouraged to dial-in 15 minutes prior to the start time. An online replay will be available by noon ET on Thursday, October 26, 2023. A copy of the Company’s news release announcing quarterly results and relevant financial and statistical information about the period will be accessible at http://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 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.
