Live and Historical Racing

	Third Quarter
(in millions)		2024				2023
Revenue	$	252.4			$	225.5
Adjusted EBITDA		93.0				80.9

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 increased $26.9 million due to a $21.6 million increase attributable to growth at our Virginia properties and the opening of the Rosie's Emporia property in September 2023, a $3.8 million increase attributable to growth at our Northern Kentucky properties, and a $1.5 million net increase at our other Live and Historical Racing properties.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 increased $12.1 million due to a $15.2 million increase attributable to growth at our Virginia properties, which includes $3.9 million related to Exacta savings, and a $3.2 million increase attributable primarily to growth at our Northern Kentucky and Southwestern Kentucky HRM properties. These increases were partially offset by a $4.1 million decrease attributable to our Louisville and Western Kentucky HRM properties, a $1.4 million decrease attributable to Churchill Downs Racetrack, and a $0.8 million decrease attributable to proceeds for business interruption insurance claims in the third quarter 2023 that did not reoccur.

TwinSpires

Revenue	$	118.7			$	112.4
Adjusted EBITDA		42.5				33.9

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 increased $6.3 million due to a $9.6 million increase attributable to Exacta and a $1.3 million increase attributable to our online sports betting market access agreements and our retail sports betting business. These increases were partially offset by a $4.6 million decrease primarily attributable to a decline in TwinSpires Horse Racing handle due to market access and shifts in race days at other tracks.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 increased $8.6 million due to a $7.5 million increase attributable to Exacta and a $1.1 million increase primarily attributable to our online sports betting market access agreements and our retail sports betting business.

Revenue	$	270.3			$	244.9
Adjusted EBITDA		123.3				122.3

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 increased $25.4 million due to a $32.5 million increase attributable to the opening of the Terre Haute Casino Resort in April 2024 partially offset by a $7.1 million decrease primarily due to regional gaming softness and increased competition.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 increased $1.0 million due to a $12.4 million increase attributable to the opening of the Terre Haute Casino Resort in April 2024 partially offset by a $10.2 million decrease primarily due to regional gaming softness, increased competition, and higher labor and benefit expense, and a $1.2 million decrease attributable to proceeds for business interruption insurance claims in the third quarter 2023 that did not reoccur.

All Other

	Third Quarter
(in millions)		2024				2023
Revenue	$	2.6			$	0.2
Adjusted EBITDA		(23.5	)			(18.9	)

Revenue for the third quarter of 2024 reflects intercompany revenue related to the captive insurance company that was established in April 2024. All captive revenue is eliminated in consolidation.

Adjusted EBITDA for the third quarter of 2024 decreased $4.6 million driven primarily by increased corporate compensation related expenses and other corporate administrative expenses.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

Share Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased 67,139 shares of its common stock at a total cost of approximately $9.0 million based on trade date under its share repurchase program in the third quarter of 2024. We had approximately $170.9 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program on September 30, 2024.

Annual Dividend

On October 22, 2024, the Company's Board of Directors approved an annual cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.409 per outstanding share, a seven percent increase over the prior year. The dividend is payable on January 3, 2025, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 6, 2024, with the aggregate cash dividend paid to each shareholder rounded to the nearest whole cent. This marks the fourteenth consecutive year that the Company has increased the dividend per share.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CDI

The Company's third quarter 2024 net income attributable to CDI was $65.4 million compared to $61.0 million in the prior year quarter.

The following impacted the comparability of the Company's third quarter 2024 net income to the prior year quarter:

• a $3.0 million increase in after-tax non-cash impairment costs.
  

This was partially offset by:

• a $1.7 million after-tax net decrease in transaction, pre-open and other expenses; and
• a $0.6 million after-tax decrease of other items.

Excluding the items above, third quarter 2024 net income increased $5.1 million primarily due to the following:

• a $10.5 million after-tax increase primarily driven by the results of our operations,
• partially offset by a $5.4 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with GAAP, the Company also uses non-GAAP measures, including adjusted net income, adjusted diluted EPS, EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), and Adjusted EBITDA.

The Company uses non-GAAP measures as a key performance measure of the results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. These measures facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and help investors to better understand the operating results of the Company by excluding certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core business or operating results. The Company believes the use of these measures enables management and investors to evaluate and compare, from period to period, the Company’s operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. The non-GAAP measures are a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income or diluted EPS (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy, and allocate resources. 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.

Adjusted net income and adjusted diluted EPS exclude discontinued operations net income or loss; net income or loss attributable to noncontrolling interest; changes in fair value for interest rate swaps related to Rivers Des Plaines; Rivers Des Plaines' legal reserves and transaction costs; transaction expense, which includes acquisition and disposition related charges, as well as legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense; pre-opening expense; and certain other gains, charges, recoveries, and expenses.

Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments and the portion of EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interest.

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 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.

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