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 entertainment venues with approximately 3,050 HRMs in Kentucky. We also own and operate TwinSpires, one of the largest and most profitable online wagering platforms for horse racing in the U.S. and we have eight 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 2022, 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 chief operating decision maker decided to include the results of our United Tote business in the TwinSpires segment as we evolve 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 prior year results were reclassified to conform to this presentation.
P2E Acquisition
On February 18, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire substantially all of the assets of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment LLC ("P2E") for total consideration of $2.485 billion (the "P2E Purchase Agreement") (collectively, the "P2E Transaction"). The P2E Purchase Agreement contemplates the acquisition by the Company of the following properties: Colonial Downs Racetrack in New Kent, Virginia ("Colonial Downs"), six historical racing entertainment venues across Virginia, del Lago Resort & Casino ("del Lago") in Waterloo, New York, and the operations of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Sioux City, Iowa (“Hard Rock Sioux City”).
The Company has obtained the acquisition of ownership interest approval for the Virginia properties from the Virginia Racing Commission. The P2E Transaction remains dependent on customary closing conditions, including the Company obtaining approvals from the New York State Gaming Commission and the Iowa Racing and Gaming Commission. The transaction is expected to close before the end of 2022.
Either the Company or P2E may terminate the P2E Purchase Agreement if the closing has not occurred prior to the date that is nine months after signing the P2E Purchase Agreement (such date being November 18, 2022), subject to the ability of either party to elect to extend such date for an additional four months in certain circumstances. If certain required regulatory approvals are not obtained and the P2E Purchase Agreement is terminated, the Company may have to pay a Regulatory Termination Fee of up to $137.5 million.
April 2022 Financing Transactions
On April 13, 2022, the Company announced an amendment of its senior secured credit agreement (the “Fourth 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 $700.0 million to $1.2 billion. The Fourth Amendment also provides for a senior secured delayed draw term loan A credit facility due 2027 in the amount of $800.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loan A”). The interest rate applicable to borrowings on the Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan A will be SOFR-based plus a spread, determined by the Company's total net leverage ratio. The Company also closed into escrow an offering of $1.2 billion in aggregate principal amount of 5.75% senior notes due 2030.
Calder Land Sale
On June 17, 2022, the Company closed on the previously announced sale of 115.7 acres of excess land near Calder Casino for $291.0 million (or approximately $2.5 million per acre) to Link Logistics, a Blackstone portfolio company. The Company received cash proceeds of $279.0 million, which was net of $12.0 million of transaction costs. The Company is planning on using certain proceeds of the sale to purchase property as part of the previously announced P2E Transaction and to invest in other replacement properties that qualify as Internal Revenue Code §1031 transactions.
The Company has retained ownership of approximately 54 acres of land on which the Company's wholly-owned Calder Casino sits. The Company may sell 15-20 acres of land in the future for retail development.
Chasers Poker Room Acquisition
On March 22, 2022, the Company entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Chasers Poker Room ("Chasers") in Salem, New Hampshire. Chasers is a charitable gaming facility located approximately 30 miles from Boston, Massachusetts,
FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2022
29
that offers poker and a variety of table games. Following the closing of the acquisition, the Company plans to develop an expanded charitable gaming facility in Salem to accommodate historical racing machines. The Company expects the total investment in Salem, inclusive of the Chasers purchase price to be approximately $150.0 million. The transaction is expected to close in the third quarter of 2022.
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, we cannot predict the duration of the COVID-19 global pandemic. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic, including the emergence of variant strains, will continue to impact the Company remains uncertain and will depend on many factors that are not within our control. We will continue to monitor for new developments related to the pandemic and assess these developments to maintain continuity in our operations.
Asset Impairment
On February 24, 2022, the Company announced its plans to exit the dire ct online sports and casino bus iness and pursue monetization of its online market access licenses. During the quarter ended March 31, 2022, the Company evaluated whether this planned exit would indicate it is more likely than not that any of the Company’s intangible assets, long-lived assets, current assets or property and equipment, were impaired (“Trigger Event”). Based on the Company’s evaluation, the Company concluded that a Trigger Event occurred related to certain TwinSpires assets. As a result, the Company recorded a $4.9 million non-cash impairment charge related to certain assets in the TwinSpires segment.
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 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 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.
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, disposition, and land sale related charges;
• Direct online Sports and Casino business 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 quarter and year 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 accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included in this section for additional information.
Governmental Regulations and Legislative Changes
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. The following update on our regulatory and legislative actions should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021, including Part I - Item 1, "Business" for a discussion of regulatory and legislative changes.
Specific State Gaming Regulations

The HRM properties benefited from the elimination of the capacity restrictions that were in place during the second quarter of 2021 and overall continued growth in the businesses.
• TwinSpires revenue decreased $4.1 million from the prior year quarter due to a decrease of $2.2 million from Sports and Casino and a $1.9 million decrease from Horse Racing. The decrease in Sports and Casino was driven by the decision to exit the direct online sports and casino business in the first quarter of 2022. Horse Racing net revenue decreased as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of wagering online in the current quarter compared to the prior year quarter.
• Gaming revenue decreased $1.5 million primarily due to a decrease of $4.6 million at Harlow's and a $4.4 million decrease at Riverwalk as a result of current economic conditions, competitive pressures, and a mask mandate at Harlow's that was discontinued in early June 2022. These decreases were partially offset by a $4.8 million increase at Oxford due to certain restrictions during the prior year quarter, a $2.1 million increase at Fair Grounds from the 2022 Jazz Festival that more than offset the decline in Fair Grounds Slots revenue due to current economic conditions and the ongoing closure of our Houma OTB, and a $0.6 million net increase in all other properties.

The increase at our HRM properties reflected the benefit of the elimination of the operating restrictions that were in place during the first half of 2021 and overall continued growth in the businesses.
• TwinSpires revenue decreased $7.7 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to a $8.8 million decrease from Horse Racing that was partially offset by a $1.1 million increase from Sports and Casino. Horse Racing net revenue decreased as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of wagering online in the current year compared to the prior year. Sports and Casino net revenue increased as a result of higher hold rates.
• Gaming revenue increased $23.7 million primarily due to increases at Oxford, Calder, and Presque Isle as a result of certain capacity restrictions during the first half of the prior year and at Fair Grounds as a result of the 2022 Jazz Festival that was not held in the prior year due to COVID-19. These increases were offset by decreases primarily at Harlow's and Riverwalk driven by the current economic conditions, competitive pressures, and a mask mandate at Harlow's that was discontinued in early June 2022.

Adjusted EBITDA
We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of the results of operations enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. 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 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.

• Live and Historical Racing Adjusted EBITDA increased $65.5 million due to a $58.5 million increase at Churchill Downs Racetrack driven by the running of the Kentucky Derby in 2022 without capacity restrictions that were in place in 2021, a $4.0 million increase at Oak Grove, a $1.7 million increase at Derby City Gaming, and a $1.3 million increase at Newport driven by increases in net revenue.
• TwinSpires Adjusted EBITDA increased $9.3 million primarily due to a $10.8 million increase from our Sports and Casino business due to decreased online marketing and promotional activities. This increase was offset by a $1.2 million decrease from Horse Racing due to a reduction in net revenue and a $0.3 million decrease from United Tote.
• Gaming Adjusted EBITDA decreased $13.0 million driven by a $10.2 million decrease at our wholly-owned Gaming properties and a $2.8 million decrease from our equity investments. The decreases at our wholly-owned Gaming properties are the result of decreased revenue and increases in marketing and salaries expense. The decrease in our equity investments is also driven by increased marketing and salaries expense.
• All Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased $3.9 million driven primarily by a $3.1 million decrease as a result of Arlington not conducting live racing in the second quarter of 2022 as we ceased 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. Corporate expense increased $0.8 million as a result of increased legal fees and charitable donations.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to Six Months Ended June 30, 2021

These were partially offset by a decrease at Turfway of $0.5 million.
• TwinSpires Adjusted EBITDA increased $10.3 million primarily due to a $14.5 million increase from our Sports and Casino business due to decreased marketing and promotional activities and a $0.4 million increase at United Tote. Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease from Horse Racing of $4.6 million due to the reduction in net revenue.
• Gaming Adjusted EBITDA decreased $4.3 million driven by a $4.5 million decrease at our wholly-owned Gaming properties that was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase from our equity investments. The decreases at our wholly owned Gaming properties are primarily driven by increases in marketing and salaries expense. The increase in our equity investments is driven by capacity restrictions the prior year that are no longer in place.

Total liabilities $ 4,016.7 $ 2,674.8 $ 1,341.9
Total shareholders' equity $ 602.9 $ 306.8 $ 296.1
Significant items affecting the comparability of our condensed consolidated balance sheets include:
• Total assets increased $1,638.0 million driven b y a $1,525.0 million increase in restricted cash driven by cash proceeds received for the closing of the 2030 Senior Notes into escrow and the Calder land sale, $135.2 million increase in property and equipment driven by capital expenditures at Churchill Downs Racetrack, Turfway Park, and Derby City Gaming, a $23.2 million increase in accounts receivable driven by simulcast and other pari-mutuel wagering activity, and a $20.6 million increase in all other assets. Partially offsetting these increases was a $66.0 million decrease in income t ax receivable driven primarily by the current year income tax provision and a refund received from the IRS.
FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED JUNE 30, 2022

• Total liabilities increased $1,341.9 million primarily driven by a $1,196.1 million increase in notes payable, net of debt issuance costs, related to the closing of the 2030 Senior Notes into escrow, an $86.7 million increase in income tax payable primarily driven by the tax gain on the Calder land sale, a $57.5 million increase in accounts payable primarily due to timing of racing related payments, a $20.4 million increase in deferred income tax due to our current year income tax provision, an $18.4 million increase in advance deposit wagering accounts, a $14.9 million increase in accrued interest due to higher outstanding debt balances and a $10.3 million increase in purses payable due to our spring and summer race meets. Partially offsetting these increases was a $35.6 million decrease in current deferred revenue related to recognition of advanced sales for the 2022 Kentucky Derby, a $26.1 million decrease in dividends payable due to the payment of our annual dividends, and a $0.7 decrease in all other liabilities.
• Total shareholders’ equity increased $296.1 million driven by a $381.4 million increase from current year net income and $14.4 million from stock-based compensation. Partially offsetting this increase were $86.5 million in repurchases of common stock and $13.2 million in taxes paid related to net share settlement of stock awards.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The following table is a summary of our liquidity and cash flows:
(in millions) Six Months Ended June 30,
Cash flows from: 2022 2021 Change
Operating activities $ 380.8 $ 334.3 $ 46.5
Investing activities $ 104.6 $ (30.5) $ 135.1
Financing activities $ 1,058.5 $ 110.6 $ 947.9
Six Months Ended June 30, 2022, Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021
• Cash flows from operating activities increased $46.5 million driven by a $65.0 million increase in operating income, a $30.4 million increase in distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, and a $32.9 million tax refund related to the 2020 tax return loss. Partially offsetting these increases was a $25.3 million decrease in deferred revenue primarily due to the recognition of advanced sales for the 2022 Kentucky Derby and a $56.5 million decrease in all other operating activities. We anticipate that cash flows from operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations and capital expenditures.
• Cash used in investing activities increased $135.1 million driven by the $279.0 million increase from proceeds from the Calder land sale. This increase was offset by a $128.2 million increase in capital project expenditures primarily at Churchill Downs Racetrack and Turfway Park, a $9.3 million increase in capital maintenance expenditures and a $6.4 million increase from all other investing activities.
• Cash provided by financing activities increased $947.9 million primarily driven by a $843.1 million increase in net borrowings from long-term debt and a $109.4 million decrease in common stock repurchases. Partially offsetting this increase was a $4.6 million decrease from all other financing activities.
Capital Expenditures
Included in cash flows from investing activities are capital maintenance expenditures and capital project expenditures. Capital maintenance expenditures relate to the replacement of existing fixed assets with a useful life greater than one year that are obsolete, exhausted, or no longer cost effective to repair. Capital project expenditures represent fixed asset additions related to land or building improvements to new or existing assets or purchases of new (non-replacement) equipment or software related to specific projects deemed necessary expenditures.
We have announced several project capital investments during the past year, including the following: Churchill Downs Racetrack Homestretch Club and the Turn I Experience, Derby City Gaming Expansion and Hotel, Derby City Gaming Downtown, Turfway Park HRM Facility and Grandstand, the Queen of Terre Haute Casino Resort, and Louisiana HRMs. We currently estimate that we will spend between $300.0 million and $350.0 million for project capital in 2022, although this amount may vary significantly based on the timing of work completed, unanticipated delays, and timing of payments to third parties.
Common Stock Repurchase Program
On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500.0 million (“2021 Stock Repurchase Program”). The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to the unspent amount remaining under the prior 2018 Stock Repurchase Program authorization. Repurchases may be made at

management’s discretion from time to time on the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We have approximately $359.1 million of repurchase authority remaining under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program at June 30, 2022, based on trade date.

The Term Loan B-1 bears interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points and requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $300.0 million balance. The Term Loan B-1 may be subject to additional mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow on an annual basis per the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

On April 13, 2022, the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement (the "Fourth Amendment") to extend the maturity date of its existing revolving credit facility to April 13, 2027, to increase the commitments under the existing revolving credit facility from $700.0 million to $1.2 billion, and to increase the swing line commitment from $50.0 million to $100.0 million. The Fourth Amendment also provides for a senior secured Delayed Draw Term Loan A credit facility due April 13, 2027 in the amount of $800.0 million which is part of the financing for the proposed acquisition by the Company of P2E. The Company capitalized $2.8 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Revolver commitment increase and $5.7 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Delayed Draw Term Loan A which are being amortized as interest expense over the 5-year term.
The Revolver and Delayed Draw Term Loan A bear interest at SOFR plus 10 basis points, plus a variable applicable margin which is determined by the Company's net leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2022, that applicable margin was 137.5 basis points which was based on the pricing grid in the Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The Term Loan B and Term Loan B-1 bear interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points.
The Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, which include limitations on liens, investments, indebtedness, dispositions, mergers and acquisitions, the making of restricted payments, changes in the nature of business, changes in fiscal year, and transactions with affiliates. The Credit Agreement also contains financial covenants providing for the maintenance of a maximum consolidated secured net leverage ratio and maintenance of a minimum consolidated interest coverage ratio.

Consolidated total secured net leverage ratio .35 to 1.0 < 4.0 to 1.0
The Company was compliant with all applicable covenants on June 30, 2022.
In relation to the Revolver, the Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio of the Company. For the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company's commitment fee rate for the Revolver was 0.20%. Once drawn, the Delayed Draw Term Loan A requires quarterly payments of 1.25% of the original $800.0 million balance, or $10.0 million per quarter. The Company is required to pay an unused commitment fee for the period from and including the date that is sixty days after the Fourth Amendment up to the date funds are drawn. That fee is determined by a pricing grid based on the Company’s consolidated total net leverage ratio. For the period ended June 30, 2022, the Company's commitment fee rate for the Delayed Draw Term Loan A was 0.20%. The Term Loan B requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $400.0 million balance, or $1.0 million per quarter. The Term Loan B may be subject to additional mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow on an annual basis per the provisions of the 2017 Credit Agreement.
