Our Business
Churchill Downs Incorporated ("CDI" or the "Company") has been creating extraordinary entertainment experiences for nearly 150 years, beginning with the Company’s most iconic and enduring asset, the Kentucky Derby. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, CDI has expanded through the development of live and historical racing entertainment venues, the growth of the TwinSpires horse racing online wagering business and the operation and development of regional casino gaming properties.
We conduct our business through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming. We aggregate our other businesses as well as certain corporate operations, and other immaterial joint ventures, in All Other. For additional information about our segments, refer to Note 16 - Segment Information, to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
Arlington sale
On February 15, 2023, we closed on the sale of the Arlington property in Arlington Heights, Illinois. We sold 326-acres to the Chicago Bears for $197.2 million. The net proceeds of $195.7 million were used to pay down the outstanding balance amount on our Revolver that was drawn on to fund the acquisition of substantially all the assets of Peninsula Pacific Entertainment ("P2E").
Financing Transactions
On February 24, 2023, we entered into an incremental joinder to our senior secured credit agreement to increase the loans under the existing Term Loan A credit facility due 2027 by $500.0 million. This joinder increases the existing Term Loan A credit facility due 2027 from $800.0 million to $1.3 billion and makes certain other changes to the existing credit agreement. The Company used the net proceeds from the borrowings under the increased Term Loan A to repay outstanding loans under its senior secured revolving credit facility, pay related transaction fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes.
On April 25, 2023, we completed an offering of $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.750% senior unsecured notes that mature in 2031. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the offering to repay indebtedness outstanding under its Term Loan B Facility due 2024 and to fund related transaction fees and expenses, and intends to use the remainder of the proceeds for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
Transactions Update
On August 11, 2022, we entered into an agreement to sell 49% of United Tote, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company to NYRA Content Management Solutions, LLC, a subsidiary of the New York Racing Association. The transaction is subject to usual and customary closing conditions, including applicable regulatory notices and approvals, and is expected to close during the first half of 2023.
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 ("Exacta") for total consideration of $250.0 million in cash (the "Exacta Transaction"). The Exacta Transaction is subject to certain working capital and other purchase price adjustments and is expected to close during 2023.
Impact 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.
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 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, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.
FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2023
28
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 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 sales;
• Legal reserves;
• Pre-opening expense; and
• Other charges, recoveries and expenses
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 in 2022 and 2023 are treated as an adjustment to EBITDA and are 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 Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See 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, 2022, including Part I - Item 1, "Business" for a discussion of regulatory and legislative changes.
Specific State Gaming Regulations
Kentucky
In 2023, the Kentucky General Assembly passed a bill to authorize the Kentucky Horse Racing Commission to regulate sports betting. Only licensed racetracks and their extensions can operate retail sports betting. Each track is allowed to contract with up to three providers to carryout online or retail sports betting.

Partially offsetting these increases was a $5.5 million decrease in TwinSpires primarily due to a decrease in Horse Racing as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of wagering online, the exit of our direct online Sports and Casino business in the first quarter of 2022 and a decrease in All Other of $0.2 million.
• Operating income increased $72.5 million primarily due to a $52.8 million increase in Live and Historical Racing incremental revenue from the P2E properties acquired in Virginia, and a $24.4 million increase in Gaming driven by the P2E acquired properties in New York and Iowa, decreased transaction and impairment costs of $10.1 million, and an increase in TwinSpires of $3.7 million as a result of the exit of our direct online Sports and Casino business.

Financing activities (237.7) (68.0) (169.7)
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 , Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2022
• Cash flows from operating activities increased $80.7 million driven by a $77.7 million increase in operating income and distributions from unconsolidated affiliates, a $25.5 million increase in deferred revenue due to advanced sales for the 2023 Kentucky Derby, and $12.3 million decrease in cash used for working capital and all other. These were partially offset by $34.8 million increased interest paid in 2023. We anticipate that cash flows from operations over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations and capital expenditures.
• Cash flows from investing activities increased $117.3 million driven by the $195.7 million proceeds from the Arlington sale, partially offset by an increase in capital project expenditures in 2023 primarily at Churchill Downs Racetrack and for the Dumfries project in Virginia.
• Cash flows from financing activities decreased $169.7 million primarily driven by a $182.0 million net pay down of long-term debt in 2023, partially offset by stock repurchased during 2022.
We have announced several project capital investments, including the following: Churchill Downs Racetrack First Turn Experience and the Paddock Project, the Derby City Gaming Expansion and Hotel, Derby City Gaming Downtown, the Ellis Park HRM facility in Owensboro, Kentucky, the Terre Haute Casino Resort in Virgo County, Indiana, a New Hampshire HRM Facility, the Virginia HRM entertainment venues in Dumfries and Emporia, and HRMs in our Louisiana OTBs. 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.
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 Purchase 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 had $270.2 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on March 31, 2023.

Credit Agreement
At March 31, 2023, the Company’s senior secured credit facility (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement") consisted of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), $400.0 million senior secured term loan B due 2024 (the "Term Loan B"), $300.0 million senior secured term loan B-1 due 2028 (the "Term Loan B-1"), $1.3 billion senior secured term loan A due 2027 (the "Term Loan A"), and $100.0 million swing line commitment. Certain amendments to the Credit Agreement entered into during 2022 and 2023, respectively, are described below.
On April 13, 2022, we amended the Credit Agreement to extend the maturity date of its Revolver 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. This amendment also provided for the senior secured Term Loan A due April 13, 2027 in the amount of $800.0 million, which was drawn on November 1, 2022 as part of the financing for the P2E Transaction. Refer to Note 3, Acquisitions to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for further information regarding the P2E Transaction. The Company capitalized $3.2 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Revolver commitment increase and $6.4 million of debt issuance costs associated with the Term Loan A which are being amortized as interest expense over the 5-year term.
On February 24, 2023, we amended our Credit Agreement to increase the loans under the existing Term Loan A due 2027 from $800.0 million to $1.3 billion and made certain other changes to the existing credit agreement. The Company used the net proceeds from the borrowings under the increased Term Loan A to repay outstanding loans under its Revolver, pay related transaction fees and expenses and for general corporate purposes. The Company capitalized $2.5 million of debt issuance costs associated with the increased Term Loan A which are being amortized as interest expense over the remainder of the 5-year term.
The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver as determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net secured leverage ratio of the Company. For the period ended March 31, 2023, the Company's commitment fee rate was 0.25%.
The Revolver and 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 March 31, 2023, that applicable margin was 150 basis points. The Term Loan B and Term Loan B-1 bear interest at LIBOR plus 200 basis points.
The phase-out of LIBOR in existing debt agreements is set for June 30, 2023. The Credit Agreement includes a general process for establishing an alternative reference rate to the extent LIBOR is phased out. The Company will complete the transition of its financing from LIBOR to SOFR by June 30, 2023. These transition activities will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
2027 Senior Notes
As of March 31, 2023, we had $600.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.500% senior unsecured notes that mature on April 1, 2027 (the "2027 Senior Notes"). The 2027 Senior Notes were issued at par in a private offering to qualified institutional buyers, with interest payable in arrears on April 1st and October 1st of each year, commencing on October 1, 2019. The Company may redeem some or all of the 2027 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the 2027 Indenture.
2028 Senior Notes
