REPORTS 2010 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
| Third Quarter Net Revenues From Continuing Operations Increase 35 Percent |
| Third Quarter EBITDA From Continuing Operations Increases 75 Percent |
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Wednesday, November 3, 2010) Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI), (NASDAQ: CHDN) today reported results for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2010.
Net revenues from continuing operations for the third quarter of 2010 totaled $135.7 million, an increase of 35 percent over net revenues from continuing operations of $100.9 million recorded during the third quarter of 2009. Net revenues from continuing operations for the quarter were positively affected by the acquisition of Youbet.com (Youbet) and United Tote, which contributed $25.0 million in net revenues from external customers, and Calder Casino, which contributed $13.2 million of net revenues from external customers. Racing Operations net revenues from external customers declined $5.9 million.
Net earnings from continuing operations for the third quarter were $3.7 million or $0.22 per diluted common share, compared to a net loss from continuing operations of $1.2 million, or $(0.09) per diluted common share, during the third quarter of 2009. Results of Churchill Downs Entertainment, LLC, were accounted for as discontinued operations during the quarter and experienced a net loss of $4.4 million. As a result, CDI experienced a total net loss per diluted common share of $(0.04), compared to a net loss per diluted common share of $(0.17) during the third quarter of 2009.
CDIs EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) from continuing operations for the third quarter increased 75 percent year over year from $9.7 million in 2009 to $17.1 million in 2010. Significant items positively affecting CDIs quarterly EBITDA from continuing operations included a $4.0 million increase in Gaming EBITDA driven primarily by the generation of $2.4 million of EBITDA at Calder Casino, which opened in January of this year. Additionally, Online Business EBITDA increased $3.0 million, reflecting the addition of Youbet, which contributed $1.6 million of EBITDA during the quarter, and the continued growth of TwinSpires.com. We remain on track to achieve our projected $12 million
in annualized cost savings from personnel and other cost synergies related to the Youbet and United Tote acquisition integration.
This was the quarter in which we first saw the earnings power of the diversification strategy weve been pursuing for the last few years, said Robert L. Evans, CDI President and Chief Executive Officer. The decline in Racing Operations net revenues and EBITDA from continuing operations was more than offset by net revenue and EBITDA growth in our Online and Gaming businesses.
We have been pursuing diversification into our Gaming and Online business segments and the results of that strategy are clear and increasingly important to our overall financial performance added Evans. While the third quarter showed that the business of operating race tracks remains in decline, we feel a great sense of optimism as the popularity and profitability of the Kentucky Derby and Kentucky Oaks continue to grow and as we execute on our diversification strategy with the integration of Youbet.com and the planned acquisition of Harlows Casino Resort & Hotel in Greenville, Mississippi.
A conference call regarding this news release is scheduled for Thursday, November 4, 2010, at 9:00 a.m. ET. Investors and other interested parties may listen to the conference call by accessing the online, real-time webcast of the call at www.ChurchillDownsIncorporated.com or by dialing toll-free: 877-372-0878 or if dialing internationally, using the toll number 253-237-1169, at least 10 minutes before the appointed time. The conference ID number for this call is 96477917. The online replay will be available within 90 minutes from the conclusion of the conference call, and will continue to be available for one year. A copy of this news release announcing quarterly results and relevant financial and statistical information about the period will be accessible at www.ChurchillDownsIncorporated.com.
In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), CDI has provided a non-GAAP measurement, which presents a financial measure of earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA). CDI uses EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. CDI believes the use of this measure enables management and investors to evaluate and compare, from period to period, CDIs operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. This non-GAAP measurement is not intended to replace the presentation of CDIs financial results in accordance with GAAP.
Churchill Downs Incorporated (CDI), headquartered in Louisville, Ky., owns and operates four world renowned Thoroughbred racing facilities: Arlington Park in Illinois, Calder Casino and Race Course in Florida, Churchill Downs Racetrack in Kentucky, and Fair Grounds Race Course & Slots in Louisiana. CDI operates slot and gaming operations in Louisiana and Florida. CDI tracks are host to many of North Americas most prestigious races, including the Arlington Million, the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks, the Louisiana Derby and the Princess Rooney, along with hosting the Breeders Cup World Championships for a record seventh time on Nov. 5-6, 2010 and eighth time on Nov. 4-5, 2011. CDI also owns off-track betting platforms TwinSpires.com, Youbet.com and other advance-deposit wagering providers; United Tote; television production, telecommunications and racing service companies such as
BRIS; and a 50-percent interest in the national cable and satellite network HorseRacing TV, which supports CDIs network of simulcasting and racing operations. CDI has entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Harlows Casino Resort & Hotel in Greenville, MS, on Sept. 13, 2010. CDI trades on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol CHDN. More information can be found at www.ChurchillDownsIncorporated.com
