This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, including Part I - Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for a discussion regarding some of the reasons that actual results may be materially different from those we anticipate. FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 25 Our Business Executive Overview Churchill Downs Incorporated (the "Company") is an industry-leading racing, online wagering and gaming entertainment company anchored by our iconic flagship event, the Kentucky Derby. We own and operate three pari-mutuel gaming entertainment venues with approximately 3,050 historical racing machines ("HRMs") in Kentucky. We also own and operate TwinSpires, one of the largest and most profitable online wagering platforms for horse racing, sports and iGaming in the U.S. and we have seven retail sportsbooks. We are also a leader in brick-and-mortar casino gaming in eight states with approximately 11,000 slot machines and video lottery terminals ("VLTs") and 200 table games. We were organized as a Kentucky corporation in 1928, and our principal executive offices are located in Louisville, Kentucky. Segments During the first quarter of 2021, we updated our operating segments to reflect the internal management reporting used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate results of operations and to assess performance and allocate resources. Our internal management reporting changed primarily due to the continued growth from Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel ("Oak Grove") and Turfway Park, which opened its annex historical racing machine ("HRM") facility, Newport Racing & Gaming ("Newport"), in October 2020, which resulted in our chief operating decision maker's decision to include Oak Grove, Turfway Park and Newport in the new Live and Historical Racing segment. The Live and Historical Racing segment now includes Churchill Downs Racetrack, Derby City Gaming, Oak Grove, Turfway Park, and Newport. We also realigned our retail sports betting results at our wholly-owned casinos from our Gaming segment to our TwinSpires segment. As a result of this realignment, our operating segments that meet the requirements to be disclosed separately as reportable segments are: Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming. We conduct our business through these reportable segments and report net revenue and operating expense associated with these reportable segments in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the COVID-19 outbreak a global pandemic. The COVID-19 global pandemic has resulted in travel limitations and business and government shutdowns which have had significant negative economic impacts in the United States and in relation to our business. Although vaccines are now available, distribution is currently limited and there can be no assurance that these vaccines will be successful in ending the COVID-19 global pandemic. The long-term impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. and world economies and continuing impact on our business remains uncertain, the duration and scope of which cannot currently be predicted. In response to the measures taken to limit the impact of COVID-19 described above, and for the protection of our employees, customers, and communities, we temporarily suspended operations at our properties in March 2020. On March 25, 2020, as a result of the temporary closures and suspended operations, the Company announced the temporary furlough of employees at its wholly-owned and managed gaming properties and certain racing operations. The Company also implemented a temporary salary reduction for all remaining non-furloughed salaried employees based on a percentage that varies dependent upon the amount of each employee’s salary. The most senior level of executive management received the largest salary decrease, based on both percentage and dollar amount. In May 2020, we began to reopen our properties with patron restrictions and gaming limitations. One property temporarily suspended operations again in July 2020 and reopened in August 2020, and three properties temporarily suspended operations again in December 2020 and reopened in January 2021. As the Company reopened these properties, certain employees have returned to work while others remain on temporary furlough due to the capacity restrictions at these properties. The Company provided health, dental, vision and life insurance benefits to furloughed employees through July 31, 2020 and during the subsequent property closure periods. As of March 31, 2021, all of our properties were reopened with certain operating restrictions. Key Indicators to Evaluate Business Results and Financial Condition Our management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition. These indicators include changes in net revenue, operating expense, operating income, earnings per share, outstanding debt balance, operating cash flow and capital spend. Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We also use non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 26 performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following: Adjusted EBITDA includes our 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 accompanying condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Refer to the reconciliation of comprehensive income to Adjusted EBITDA included in this section for additional information. Government Regulations and Legislative Actions We are subject to various federal, state and international laws and regulations that affect our businesses. The ownership, operation and management of our Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming segments, as well as our other operations, are subject to regulation under the laws and regulations of each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The ownership, operation and management of our businesses and properties are also subject to legislative actions at both the federal and state level. There have been no material changes with respect to our regulatory and legislative activities disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Partially offsetting these increases was $0.4 million from All Other. • Operating income (loss) increased $58.3 million due to a $23.9 million increase from Gaming due to increased operating efficiencies and the temporary closure of our Gaming properties in March 2020; a $17.5 million non-cash intangible asset impairment from the first quarter of 2020 that did not recur in the first quarter of 2021; a $13.5 million FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 27 increase from Live and Historical Racing primarily related to the Oak Grove HRM facility opening in September 2020 and increased operating efficiencies and the increase in net revenue at Derby City Gaming; an $8.4 million increase from TwinSpires primarily due to the increase in handle; a $0.9 million increase from All Other primarily from increased operating efficiencies at Arlington; and a $0.2 million increase from other sources.

Partially offsetting these decreases was a $0.9 million after-tax increase in Rivers Des Plaines' legal reserves and transaction costs. Excluding these items, net income (loss) from continuing operations increased $32.6 million primarily due to a $33.4 million after-tax increase driven by the results of our operations and equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates, partially offset by a $0.8 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances. • Net income (loss) attributable to Churchill Downs Incorporated increased $59.5 million due to a $58.7 million increase in net income from continuing operations discussed above and a $0.9 million decrease in net loss from discontinued operations, partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in net loss attributable to our noncontrolling interest. • Adjusted EBITDA increased $55.3 million driven by a $34.5 million increase from Gaming primarily due to the increased operating efficiencies at our wholly-owned properties and equity investments; a $17.3 million increase from Live and Historical Racing primarily due to the opening of Oak Grove HRM facility in September 2020 and increased operating efficiencies at Derby City Gaming; and a $6.5 million increase from TwinSpires primarily due to the increase in handle. Partially offsetting these increases was a $3.0 million decrease from All Other primarily due to increased accrued bonuses at Corporate.
