Churchill Downs Inc 10-Q

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in: • general economic trends; and • interest rate and credit risk. General economic trends Our business is sensitive to consumer confidence and reductions in consumers' discretionary spending, which may result from challenging economic conditions, inflation, unemployment levels and other changes in the economy. Demand for entertainment and leisure activities is sensitive to consumers’ disposable incomes, which can be adversely affected by economic conditions and unemployment levels. This could result in fewer patrons visiting our racetracks, gaming and wagering facilities, and online wagering sites and/or may impact our customers’ ability to wager with the same frequency and to maintain wagering levels. FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2023 36 Interest rate and credit risk Our primary exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates. On March 31, 2023, we had $2.0 billion outstanding under our Credit Agreement, which bears interest at LIBOR and SOFR based variable rates. We are exposed to market risk on variable rate debt due to potential adverse changes in these rates. Assuming the outstanding balance of the debt facility remains constant, a one-percentage point increase in the LIBOR or SOFR rate would reduce net income and cash flows from operating activities by $14.2 million. The phase-out of LIBOR for existing debit 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 is in the process of transitioning its financing from LIBOR to alternative reference rates. These transition activities are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
