Churchill Downs Incorporated Reports 2017 Third Quarter Results

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Nov. 01, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Churchill Downs Incorporated (NASDAQ:CHDN) (CDI or Company) today reported business results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2017.

Third Quarter 2017 Highlights

  • Net revenue of $314.8 million, 4% increase over the prior year
  • Net income of $16.7 million, 92% increase over the prior year
  • Diluted net income per share of $1.08, 108% higher than the prior year
  • Adjusted EBITDA of $76.0 million, 7% increase over the prior year
   
CONSOLIDATED RESULTS Third Quarter
(in millions, except per share data): 2017   2016
       
Net revenue $ 314.8     $ 303.4  
Net income 16.7     8.7  
Diluted net income per share $ 1.08     $ 0.52  
Adjusted EBITDA(a) 76.0     71.1  
 
(a) Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. See explanation of non-GAAP measures below.

In the quarter, net revenue increased $11.4 million primarily from a $10.8 million increase from TwinSpires, a $4.5 million increase from Casinos and a $0.5 million increase from Racing and Other Investments.  Partially offsetting these increases was a $4.4 million decrease from Big Fish Games.

The $8.0 million increase in net income and $0.56 increase in diluted net income per share was primarily a result of a $6.2 million increase in operating income from our segments and a $4.0 million increase in income from our equity investments, partially offset by a $1.5 million increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances and a $0.7 million increase in other expense primarily related to unfavorable foreign exchange rates at Big Fish Games.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $4.9 million primarily from a $9.1 million increase from Casinos, a $4.1 million increase from TwinSpires, a $1.3 million increase from Racing, and a $0.6 million increase from other sources.  These increases were partially offset by a $10.2 million decrease from Big Fish Games.

OPERATING SEGMENT RESULTS:

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources.  We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric because we believe the inclusion or exclusion of certain recurring items is necessary to provide a more accurate measure of our core operating results and enables 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 U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“U.S. GAAP”).  Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

The operating segment summaries below present net revenue from external customers and intercompany revenue from each of our operating segments:

Racing Third Quarter
(in millions): 2017   2016
       
Net revenue $ 41.9     $ 41.3  
Adjusted EBITDA 1.7     0.4  

During the quarter, net revenue increased $0.6 million from the prior year primarily driven by a $1.3 million increase in net revenue at Arlington driven by increased handle and admissions, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease primarily driven by one less live thoroughbred racing day at Churchill Downs during the third quarter of 2017 compared to 2016.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $1.3 million from the prior year driven by a $1.0 million increase at Fair Grounds primarily from favorable insurance reserve adjustments compared to the prior year quarter, and a $0.9 million increase at Arlington due to the increase in net revenue, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease primarily due to the decrease in net revenue at Churchill Downs.

(in millions): 2017   2016
       
Net revenue $ 87.5     $ 83.0  
Adjusted EBITDA 39.5     30.4

  • $1.7 million increase at Riverwalk driven by the increase in revenues.
  • $0.9 million increase at Fair Grounds and VSI combined driven by the increase in revenues and favorable insurance reserve adjustments.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. GAAP, the Company also uses non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA as described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K (“Adjusted EBITDA”).

Adjusted EBITDA includes CDI's portion of the EBITDA from our equity investments.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

  • Acquisition expense, net which includes:
      - Acquisition-related charges, including fair value adjustments related to earnouts and deferred payments; and
      - Transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
  • Stock-based compensation expense;
  • Gain on Calder land sale;
  • Calder exit costs; and
  • Other charges and recoveries.

For purposes of segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.  Refer to the reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of the results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. The measure facilitates comparison of operating performance between periods and helps investors to better understand the operating results of CDI by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core business or operating results. The Company believes the use of this measure enables management and investors to evaluate and compare, from period to period, the Company’s 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 U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.

The Company updated its definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude changes in Big Fish Games deferred revenue during the fourth quarter of 2016.  Additionally, during the first quarter of 2017, certain revenue previously included in our Corporate segment was deemed by management to be more closely aligned with our TwinSpires segment.  The prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to this presentation.
