1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
Basis of Presentation
Churchill Downs Incorporated (the "Company" or "CDI") financial statements are presented in conformity with the requirements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP") or those normally made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The December 31, 2023 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.
The following information is unaudited. All per share amounts assume dilution unless otherwise noted. This report should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of this information have been made, and all such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature.
In April 2024, the Company closed on the sale of 49 % of the United Tote Company (“United Tote”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDI, to NYRA Content Management Solutions, LLC ("NYRA"), a subsidiary of the New York Racing Association, Inc. Refer to Note 11, Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest, for further information on the transaction.
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 in All Other. We report net revenue and operating expense associated with these reportable segments in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Recent Accounting Pronouncements - effective in 2024 or thereafter
In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the Securities and Exchange Commission’s ("SEC") Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC regarding the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC’s removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which enhances the disclosures required for operating segments in the Company’s annual and interim consolidated financial statements. The amendments are effective for the Company in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption of the amendment is permitted, including adoption in any interim periods for which financial statements have not been issued. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. ASU 2023-09 is intended to enhance the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments address investor requests for enhanced income tax information primarily through changes to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information. Early adoption is permitted. The amendments are expected to be applied prospectively to all annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

3. ACQUISITIONS
Exacta Systems
On August 22, 2023, the Company completed its acquisition of Exacta Systems, LLC ("Exacta") for a purchase consideration of $ 248.2 million, net of cash acquired, which consisted of a $ 241.3 million cash payment and $ 6.9 million of deferred payments, which are payable over two years from acquisition (the "Exacta Transaction"). As of September 30, 2024, there were $ 1.2 million deferred payments remaining. Exacta is a leading provider of central determinate system technology in Historical Racing Machines ("HRMs") across the country. The Exacta Transaction enables the Company to realize significant synergies related to the Company’s HRM operations. Exacta operates within the Company’s TwinSpires segment and will continue to service its growing portfolio of third-party HRM operators in Kentucky, Wyoming, and New Hampshire and plans to expand its international presence.
Goodwill of $ 177.4 million related to the Exacta Transaction was recognized, of which $ 96.0 million was allocated to the Live and Historical Racing segment and $ 81.4 million was allocated to the TwinSpires segment. The goodwill related to the Exacta Transaction is deductible for tax purposes.
4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
Goodwill, by segment, is composed of the following:
(in millions) Live and Historical TwinSpires Gaming All Other Total
Balances as of December 31, 2023 $ 376.2 $ 233.4 $ 290.3 $ — $ 899.9
Adjustments 0.1 0.2 — — 0.3
Balances as of September 30, 2024 $ 376.3 $ 233.6 $ 290.3 $ — $ 900.2
We performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of April 1, 2024, and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required. We assessed goodwill for impairment by performing qualitative or quantitative analyses for each reporting unit. We concluded that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and therefore no impairments were identified.
Other intangible assets are comprised of the following:
September 30, 2024 December 31, 2023
(in millions) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount
Definite-lived intangible assets $ 96.0 $ ( 31.6 ) $ 64.4 $ 97.5 $ ( 26.4 ) $ 71.1
Indefinite-lived intangible assets 2,347.3 2,347.3

In the second quarter of 2023, the Company recognized a $ 24.5 million non-cash impairment charge for the Presque Isle Downs and Casino ("Presque Isle") gaming rights and trademark. The Company continues to monitor the current economic conditions and the impacts on the results of operations of Presque Isle. Future economic conditions could have a negative impact on the estimates and assumptions utilized in our asset impairment assessments. These potential impacts could increase the risk of a future impairment of assets at Presque Isle.
We performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis as of April 1, 2024. We assessed our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by performing qualitative or quantitative analyses for each asset. Based on the results of these analyses, no indefinite-lived intangible asset impairments were identified in connection with our annual impairment testing.

5. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s effective income tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from state income taxes, non-deductible officer's compensation, and other non-deductible expense, partially offset by the excess tax benefit from the payment of restricted stock compensation and the tax benefit from the expiration of the statute of limitations for certain unrecognized tax benefits. The Company's effective income tax rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from state income taxes and non-deductible officer's compensation.

Stock Repurchase Programs
On September 29, 2021, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $ 500.0 million (the "2021 Stock Repurchase Program"). The 2021 Stock Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to any unspent amount remaining under the prior 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 repurchased the following shares under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program:

We had approximately $ 170.9 million of repurchase authority remaining under the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program at September 30, 2024, based on trade date.
On January 2, 2024, the Company closed on an agreement, dated December 18, 2023, with an affiliate of The Duchossois Group ("TDG") to repurchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for $ 123.75 per share in a privately negotiated transaction for an aggregate purchase price of $ 123.8 million. This represented a discount of 4.03 % to the closing price on December 15, 2023 of $ 128.95 . The repurchase of shares of common stock from TDG was approved by the Company's Board of Directors separately from and did not reduce the authorized amount remaining under any existing common stock repurchase programs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company awarded RSUs to employees, RSUs and PSUs to certain named executive officers ("NEOs"), and RSAs and RSUs to directors. The vesting criteria for the PSU awards granted in 2024 were based on a three-year service period with two performance conditions and a market condition related to relative total shareholder return ("TSR") consistent with prior year grants. The total compensation cost we will recognize under the PSUs is determined using the Monte Carlo valuation methodology, which factors in the value of the TSR market condition when determining the grant date fair value of the PSU. Compensation cost for each PSU is recognized during the performance and service period based on the probable achievement of the two performance criteria. The PSUs are converted into shares of our common stock at the time the PSU award value is finalized.
A summary of the RSAs, RSUs and PSUs granted during 2024 is presented below (units in thousands):
Grant Year Award Type Number of Units Awarded (1)
Vesting Terms
2024 RSU 144 Vest equally over three service periods ending in 2026
2024 PSU 63 Three -year performance and service period ending in 2026
2024 RSA 4 One -year service period ending in 2025

Credit Agreement
At September 30, 2024, 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"), $ 289.5 million senior secured term loan B-1 (the "Term Loan B-1"), $ 1.2 billion senior secured term loan A (the "Term Loan A"), and $ 100.0 million swing line commitment. On July 3, 2024, the Company closed an amendment of the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date of the Revolver and Term Loan A from 2027 to 2029 subject to an earlier “springing maturity” if certain indebtedness in respect of outstanding notes or other material indebtedness having a maturity date prior to July 3, 2029, is not refinanced or extended to a date after July 3, 2029, at least 91 days prior to such other debt’s stated maturity date, and (ii) amend certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement.
Term Loan B-1 bears interest at the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 210 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.
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 September 30, 2024, that applicable margin was 150 basis points which was based on the pricing grid in the Credit Agreement. The Company had $ 902.4 million available borrowing capacity, after consideration of $ 7.6 million in outstanding letters of credit, under the Revolver as of September 30, 2024.

9. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS
Performance Obligations
As of September 30, 2024, our Live and Historical Racing segment had remaining performance obligations on contracts with a duration greater than one year relating to television rights, sponsorships, personal seat licenses, and admissions, with an aggregate transaction price of $ 262.3 million. The revenue we expect to recognize on these remaining performance obligations is $ 1.0 million for the remainder of 2024, $ 58.1 million in 2025, $ 57.1 million in 2026, and the remainder thereafter.
As of September 30, 2024, our remaining performance obligations on contracts with a duration greater than one year in segments other than Live and Historical Racing were not material.
Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract assets were not material.
As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, contract liabilities were $ 54.9 million and $ 92.3 million, respectively, which are included in current deferred revenue, non-current deferred revenue, and accrued expense in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities primarily relate to the Live and Historical Racing segment and the decrease was primarily due to recognized deferred revenue related to the 150th Kentucky Derby. We recognized $ 1.1 million and $ 74.1 million of revenue during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, which was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2023. We recognized $ 1.2 million and $ 43.6 million of revenue during the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, which was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2022.

• For the Live and Historical Racing segment, revenue is disaggregated between Churchill Downs Racetrack and historical racing properties given that Churchill Downs Racetrack revenue primarily revolves around live racing events while our other Live and Historical Racing properties' revenues primarily revolve around historical racing. This segment is also disaggregated by location given the geographic economic factors that affect the revenue of service offerings. Within the Live and Historical Racing segment, revenue is further disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, historical racing, racing event-related services, and other services.
• For the TwinSpires segment, revenue is disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, gaming, and other services.
• For the Gaming segment, revenue is disaggregated by location given the geographic economic factors that affect the revenue of Gaming service offerings. Within the Gaming segment, revenue is further disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, racing event-related services, gaming, and other services.

11. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST
In April 2024, the Company closed on the sale of 49 % of United Tote, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CDI, to NYRA. NYRA's interest includes certain embedded redemption features, such as a put right, that are not exclusively within the Company’s control. NYRA's interest is treated as redeemable noncontrolling interest and is presented outside of permanent equity on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially accounted for at fair value and subsequently adjusted to the greater of the redemption value or the carrying value. Redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments of carrying value to redemption value are reflected in retained earnings and are also included as an adjustment to income available to the Company’s shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share (See Note 15, Net Income Per Common Share Computations). The table below depicts changes in the Company’s redeemable noncontrolling interest balance.

Rivers Casino Des Plaines
The ownership of Rivers Des Plaines is comprised of the following: (1) the Company owns 61.3 %, (2) High Plaines Gaming, LLC ("High Plaines"), an affiliate of Rush Street Gaming, LLC, owns 36.0 %, and (3) Casino Investors, LLC owns 2.7 %. Both the Company and High Plaines have participating rights over Rivers Des Plaines, and both must consent to certain operating, investing and financing decisions. As a result, we account for Rivers Des Plaines using the equity method. As of September 30, 2024 , the net aggregate basis difference between the Company’s investment in Rivers Des Plaines and the amounts of the underlying equity in net assets was $ 832.9 million.
Our investment in Rivers Des Plaines was $ 537.9 million and $ 541.2 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company received distributions from Rivers Des Plaines of $ 78.8 million and $ 93.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Miami Valley Gaming and Racing
The Company owns a 50 % interest in MVG and Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment Inc. ("DNC") owns the remaining 50 % interest in MVG. Since both the Company and DNC have participating rights over MVG, and both must consent to certain operating, investing and financing decisions, we account for MVG using the equity method.
Our investment in MVG was $ 112.3 million and $ 114.6 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company received distributions from MVG of $ 35.0 million and $ 33.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate.

Restricted Cash
Our restricted cash accounts held in money market and interest-bearing accounts qualify for Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which includes unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.
Debt
The fair value of the Company’s 2031 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes, and 2027 Senior Notes are estimated based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active and as such are Level 2 measurements. The fair values of the Company's Term Loan B-1, Term Loan A, and Revolver under the Credit Agreement approximate the gross carrying value of the variable rate debt and as such are Level 2 measurements.
The carrying amounts and estimated fair values by input level of the Company's financial instruments are as follows:

14. CONTINGENCIES
We are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of conducting business. We carry insurance for workers' compensation claims from our employees and general liability for claims from independent contractors, customers, and guests. We are self-insured up to an aggregate stop loss for our general liability and workers' compensation coverages.
We review all litigation on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. For certain legal proceedings, we cannot reasonably estimate losses or a range of loss, if any, particularly for proceedings that are in the early stages of development or where the plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. Various factors, including but not limited to, the outcome of potentially lengthy discovery and the resolution of important factual questions, may need to be determined before probability
FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024
21
Churchill Downs Incorporated
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
can be established or before a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In accordance with current accounting standards for loss contingencies and based upon information currently known to us, we establish reserves for litigation when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. When no amount within the range of loss is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the minimum amount of the estimable loss. To the extent that such litigation against us may have an exposure to a loss in excess of the amount we have accrued, we believe that such excess would not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we do not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. In the event that a legal proceeding results in a substantial judgment against us, or settlement by us, there can be no assurance that any resulting liability or financial commitment would not have a material adverse impact on our business.

16. SEGMENT INFORMATION
We manage our operations through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, TwinSpires, and Gaming. Our operating segments reflect the internal management reporting used by our chief operating decision maker to evaluate results of operations and to assess performance and allocate resources.
On September 7, 2023, the Company began operating retail sports betting at its racetracks and HRM facilities in Kentucky. In addition to retail sports betting, third-party service providers began operating online sports wagering in partnership with the Company’s racetracks on September 28, 2023. Our retail and online sports betting business is included in the TwinSpires segment.
Eliminations include the elimination of intersegment transactions. We utilize non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy, and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA includes the following adjustments:
Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments and the portion of EBITDA attributable to a noncontrolling interest.
FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
• Transaction expense, net which includes:
– Acquisition, disposition, and property sale related charges;
– Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
• Stock-based compensation expense;
• Asset impairments;
• Gain on property sales;
• Legal reserves;
• Pre-opening expense; and
• Other charges, recoveries, and expenses
As of December 31, 2021, our property in Arlington Heights, Illinois ("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 2023 are treated as an adjustment to EBITDA .
On June 26, 2023, the Company's management agreement for Lady Luck Casino Nemacolin ("Lady Luck") in Farmington, Pennsylvania expired and was not renewed. The Company completed the sale of substantially all its assets at Lady Luck for an immaterial amount.
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. For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The tables below present net revenue from external customers, Adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles comprehensive income to Adjusted EBITDA:
