1. DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

Basis of Presentation

The Churchill Downs Incorporated (the "Company", "we", "us", "our") 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 ("U.S. GAAP") or those normally made in our Annual Report on Form 10-K. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. 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, 2016.

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.

Our critical accounting policies are revenue recognition, goodwill and indefinite intangible assets, property and equipment and income taxes. Our significant accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Seasonality

Racing

Due to the seasonal nature of our live racing business, revenue and operating results for any interim quarter are generally not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and may not be comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. Historically, we have had fewer live racing days during the first quarter of each year, and the majority of our live racing revenue occurs during the second quarter, with the running of the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks. We conducted 64 live thoroughbred race days in the second quarter of 2017 and 61 live thoroughbred race days in the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we conducted 119 live thoroughbred racing days, which compares to 115 live thoroughbred racing days during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Casinos

Revenue from our casino properties has a seasonal component and is typically higher during the first and second quarters.

TwinSpires

Due to the seasonal nature of the racing business, revenue and operating results for any interim quarter are generally not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and may not be comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. Historically, our revenue is higher in the second quarter with the running of the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks.

Big Fish Games

Revenue from our Big Fish Games, Inc. ("Big Fish Games") segment also has a seasonal component and is typically lower during the summer months.

2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In May 2017, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation: Scope of Modification Accounting. This new standard provides clarity about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting for stock compensation expense. The guidance will become effective in 2018. We are assessing the impact of the new accounting guidance and currently cannot estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This new guidance simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairments by removing step two from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess. The new guidance is effective in 2020 with early adoption permitted for any goodwill impairment test performed between January 1, 2017 and January 1, 2020. We are assessing the impact of the new accounting guidance and currently cannot estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, Business Combinations: Clarifying the Definition of a Business, in an effort to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The guidance will become effective in 2018. We will assess the impact of the new accounting guidance as necessary for future transactions.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows: Restricted Cash. The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash. Entities will also be required to reconcile to the balance sheet and disclose the nature of the restrictions. The guidance will become effective in 2018. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the standard, we believe the most significant impact relates to the presentation of our statement of cash flows where we will be required to reconcile to total cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Currently, our statement of cash flows reconciles to total cash and cash equivalents.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows: Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. The new guidance is intended to reduce diversity in practice in how certain transactions are classified in the statement of cash flows. The guidance will become effective in 2018. We are assessing the impact of the new accounting guidance and currently cannot estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which introduces a new model for recognizing credit losses on financial instruments based on an estimate of current expected credit losses. The new model will apply to: (1) loans, accounts receivable, trade receivables, and other financial assets measured at amortized cost, (2) loan commitments and certain other off-balance sheet credit exposures, (3) debt securities and other financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and (4) beneficial interests in securitized financial assets. The guidance will become effective in 2020. We are assessing the impact of the new accounting guidance and currently cannot estimate the financial statement impact of adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which requires companies to generally recognize on the balance sheet operating and financing lease liabilities and corresponding right-of-use assets. ASU 2016-02 will be effective in our first quarter of fiscal 2019 on a modified retrospective basis and earlier adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2016-02, and we currently expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as operating lease liabilities and right-of-use assets upon our adoption of ASU 2016-02.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which provides a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue in a manner that depicts the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The revised guidance will become effective in 2018 and will be applied retrospectively to each period presented or as a cumulative-effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. During 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net); ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing, and ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Narrow-Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients; which clarified the guidance on certain items such as reporting revenue gross versus net and presentation of sales tax, among other things. While we are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the new standard, we have identified two areas of impact at this time. The first area is significant and relates to our accounting for breakage revenue for our outstanding premium game club credits for Big Fish Games. Currently, we record breakage revenue for our outstanding premium game credits when the credits have legally expired. Under the new standard, we will be required to recognize the expected breakage related to our outstanding premium game club credits as revenue in proportion to the pattern of game club credits redeemed by our customers. The second area is not significant and likely will not be material. This area relates to our accounting for loyalty points under our various rewards programs which are earned by our customers at our casinos. These accumulated loyalty points are redeemable for free complimentaries, including gaming play and food and beverage. The estimated liability for unredeemed points is currently accrued based on expected redemption rates and the estimated costs of the services or merchandise to be provided. Under the new standard, we will need to defer the standalone selling price of the complimentaries until the future revenue transaction occurs. Although the exact amount of the increase to our point liabilities has not yet been determined, we do not anticipate it will have a significant impact on our earnings. Due to the change in our accounting related to breakage revenue, we anticipate this standard may have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. At this time, we expect to adopt this new standard using the modified retrospective method on January 1, 2018.

3. ACQUISITIONS

On April 24, 2017, we completed the acquisition of BAM Software and Services, LLC ("BetAmerica"), which has not had a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition or cash flows. The results of operations and financial condition of BetAmerica have been included in our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements from the acquisition date. The pro forma

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

financial information assuming the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of the calendar year prior to the year of acquisition, as well as the revenues and earnings generated during the year of acquisition, were not material for disclosure purposes.

4. RECEIVABLE FROM ESCROW

On November 8, 2016, we established a $14.0 million qualified intermediary trust with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of excess land at Calder Race Course ("Calder") that was used to purchase previously identified real property within six months post- closing. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we utilized the entire escrow amount, resulting in a zero balance at June 30, 2017, compared to our $13.6 million from the qualified intermediary trust at December 31, 2016.

5. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

Ocean Downs

In August 2016, we signed a limited liability company operating agreement with Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC ("SCH"), with each entity having a 50% interest, and formed Old Bay Gaming and Racing LLC ("Old Bay"). The Old Bay agreement provides both the Company and SCH equal participating rights, and both entities must consent to Old Bay's operating, investing and financing decisions.

On January 3, 2017, Old Bay acquired all of the equity interests of Ocean Enterprise 589 LLC, Ocean Downs LLC and Racing Services LLC (collectively, "Ocean Downs"). The Company's portion of the initial equity investment in Ocean Downs was $24.0 million. Ocean Downs, located near Ocean City, Maryland, owns and operates video lottery terminals ("VLT") at the Casino at Oceans Downs and conducts harness racing at Ocean Downs Racetrack. The Company's 25% interest in SCH provides an additional 12.5% interest, resulting in an effective 62.5% interest in Ocean Downs. Since both the Company and SCH have participating rights and both must consent to Old Bay's operating, investing and financing decisions, the Company accounts for Ocean Downs using the equity method of accounting.

Miami Valley Gaming

We have a 50% joint venture in Miami Valley Gaming ("MVG"), which has a harness racetrack and VLT gaming facility in Lebanon, Ohio, with Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment Inc.

Summarized below is financial information for our MVG equity investment:

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

We performed our annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment analysis for 2017 in accordance with ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Goodwill for Impairment, and ASU No. 2012-02, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, as of March 31, 2017 and again as of April 1, 2017, and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill or indefinite-lived intangible assets was required. We assessed goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets by performing step one fair value calculations on a quantitative basis for each reporting unit and indefinite-lived intangible asset. We concluded that the fair values of our reporting units and indefinite-lived intangible assets exceeded their carrying value and therefore step two of the assessment was not required.

During 2017, the Company changed its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived impairment testing date from March 31 to April 1 of each year. As a result, the annual impairment tests were performed as of March 31, 2017 and April 1, 2017. The change was made to better align with our forecasting process and to provide the Company with additional time to complete its annual goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible impairment testing in advance of its quarterly reporting. The Company believes this change in measurement date, which represents a change in method of applying an accounting principle, is preferable under the circumstances. We believe the resulting change in accounting principle related to changing the annual impairment testing date will not delay, accelerate, or avoid an impairment charge.

Goodwill is comprised of the following:

7. INCOME TAXES

The Company’s income tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for the purposes of income taxes, partially offset by benefits from tax credits, the manufacturing deduction and tax deductions from vesting of restricted stock units in excess of the book deductions.

The Company's income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2016 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for the purposes of income taxes, partially offset by benefits from tax credits and the manufacturing deduction. The Company’s income tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2016 was lower than the U. S federal statutory rate of 35.0% primarily due to a $3.1 million tax benefit resulting from tax deductions from vesting restricted stock units in excess of the book deductions that were recognized upon our adoption of ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. This benefit was partially offset by state income taxes and certain expenses that are not deductible for the purposes of income taxes.

8. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

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 tables present our assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



	June 30, 2017
(in millions)	Level 1		Level 3
Cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	30.8	$	—
Big Fish Games deferred payments	—		28.1
Big Fish Games earnout liability	—		33.8
Total	$	30.8	$	61.9



	December 31, 2016
(in millions)	Level 1		Level 3
Cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	34.1	$	—
Big Fish Games deferred payments	—		27.8
Big Fish Games earnout liability	—		67.9
Total	$	34.1	$	95.7

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following table presents the change in fair value of our Level 3 liabilities:



	Fair Value Measurements Using Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
(in millions)	Big Fish Games Deferred Payments		Big Fish Games Earnout Liability			Total
Balances as of December 31, 2016	$	27.8	$	67.9		$	95.7
Payments	—		(34.2		)	(34.2		)
Change in fair value	0.3		0.1			0.4
Balances as of June 30, 2017	$	28.1	$	33.8		$	61.9

Our cash equivalents and restricted cash, which are held in interest-bearing accounts, qualify for Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy which includes unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

We estimated the fair value of the Big Fish Games deferred payment and earnout liability as of June 30, 2017 using a discounted cash flows analysis over the period in which the obligation is expected to be settled, and applied a discount rate of 2.7% based on our cost of debt. The cost of debt was based on the observed market yields of our $600.0 million, 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes ("Senior Unsecured Notes"), a Level 3 fair value measurement, and was adjusted for the difference in seniority and term of the deferred payments and earnout liability. The increase in fair values of the Big Fish Games deferred payments and earnout liability of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 was recorded as acquisition-related charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. During 2015, Big Fish Games achieved its earnout milestones and we have made earnout payments of $34.2 million in March 2017 and $281.6 million in March 2016.

We currently have no other assets or liabilities subject to fair value measurement on a recurring basis. Our Senior Unsecured Notes are disclosed at fair value which is based on unadjusted quoted prices for similar liabilities in markets that are not active. The Level 3 fair value of the Senior Unsecured Notes was $622.5 million at both June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The following methods and assumptions were used in estimating our fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

Cash Equivalents—The carrying amount reported in the balance sheet for cash equivalents approximates our fair value due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.

Long-Term Debt: Senior Secured Credit Facility—The carrying amounts of the borrowings under the Senior Secured Credit Facility approximate fair value, based upon current interest rates and represent a Level 2 fair value measurement.

We did not measure any assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis for 2017 or 2016.

9. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

On April 25, 2017, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new common stock repurchase program of up to $250.0 million. The new program replaced the prior $150.0 million program that was authorized in February 2016 and had unused authorization of $114.6 million. The new authorized amount included and was not in addition to any unspent amount remaining under the prior 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.

On June 9, 2017, we entered into an agreement with an affiliate of The Duchossois Group, Inc. ("TDG"), a related party, to repurchase 1,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock for $158.78 per share in a privately negotiated transaction. The aggregate purchase price was $158.8 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2017, including the repurchase of 1,000,000 shares from TDG, we repurchased 1,077,029 shares of our common stock under the April 2017 stock repurchase program at a total cost of $171.7 million. The shares were retired, and the cost of the shares acquired were treated as a deduction from common stock and retained earnings. We had approximately $78.3 million of repurchase authority remaining under this program at June 30, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we also repurchased 53,721 shares of our common stock in conjunction with the February 2016 stock repurchase program at a total cost of $7.8 million.

10. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The 2016 Incentive Plan and the 2007 Incentive Plan (collectively "the 2016 and 2007 Plans") permit the award of restricted shares or restricted stock units to directors and key employees, including our officers who are from time to time responsible for the management, growth and protection of our business. Restricted shares granted under the 2016 and 2007 Plans generally vest either in full upon three years from the date of grant, on a pro-rata basis over a three year term or upon retirement at or after age 60. The fair value of restricted shares that vest solely based on continued service under the 2016 and 2007 Plans is determined by the product of the number of shares granted and the grant date market price of our common stock.

On September 22, 2015, the Board of Directors approved the adoption of the Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan (the "ELTI Plan"), pursuant to which certain named executive officers ("NEOs") and other key executives ("Grantees") may earn variable equity payouts based upon us achieving certain key performance metrics over a specified period. The ELTI Plan was adopted pursuant to 2016 and 2007 Plans, which were previously approved by our shareholders.

2017 Awards

On February 17, 2017, certain NEOs and Grantees received the following:


•	25,119 restricted stock units to NEOs vesting equally over three service periods ending December 31, 2017, December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019;


•	28,467 performance share units ("PSU") to NEOs with vesting contingent on financial performance measures at the end of a 34-month performance period ending December 31, 2019; and


•	61,530 restricted stock shares to Grantees vesting equally over three service periods ending February 17, 2018, February 17, 2019 and February 17, 2020.

The performance criteria for the 2017 PSU awards are a cumulative Adjusted EBITDA target that was set at the beginning of the plan performance period for the entire three year period, and a cash flow metric that is the aggregate of the cash flow targets for the three individual years that is set annually at the beginning of each year. The cash flow metric is defined as cash flow from operating activities plus distributions of capital from equity investments less capital maintenance expenditures. The Compensation Committee can make adjustments as it may deem appropriate to these metrics. Measurement against these criteria will be determined against a payout curve which provides up to 200% of performance share units based on the original award.

The performance criteria also includes a relative total shareholder return ("TSR") component. Our TSR will be ranked versus the companies in the Russell 2000 index and will be calculated based on our relative placement within the Russell 2000 index. The PSU awards may be adjusted based on the Company’s TSR, by increasing the PSU awards by 25% if the Company’s TSR is in the top quartile, decreasing the PSU awards by 25% if the Company’s TSR is in the bottom quartile, and providing no change to the PSU awards if the Company’s TSR is in the middle two quartiles.

The total compensation cost we will recognize under the PSUs will be determined using the Monte Carlo valuation methodology and will be based upon an equal performance weighting for the two financial measures and then adjusted based on the Company’s TSR performance within the Russell 2000 index. The maximum number of PSUs that can be earned for a performance period is 250% of the original award.

We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $6.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and $11.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017. We recognized stock-based compensation expense of $5.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and $9.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016.

11. 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 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

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

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, 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.

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION

We manage our operations through six operating segments:


•	Racing, which includes Churchill Downs Racetrack ("Churchill Downs"), Arlington International Race Course ("Arlington"), Fair Grounds Race Course ("Fair Grounds") and Calder;

•

Casinos, which includes Oxford Casino ("Oxford"), Riverwalk Casino ("Riverwalk"), Harlow's Casino ("Harlow’s"), Calder Casino, Fair Grounds Slots, Video Services, LLC ("VSI"), 50% of EBITDA from our joint venture, MVG, 50% equity investment in Ocean Downs and 25% of EBITDA from our equity investment, SCH, which includes investments in Saratoga Casino Hotel, Saratoga Casino Black Hawk and Ocean Downs;


•	TwinSpires, which includes TwinSpires.com, Fair Grounds Account Wagering, Velocity, BetAmerica, Bloodstock Research Information Services, Bluff Media and Churchill Downs Interactive Gaming;


•	Big Fish Games, which is a global producer and distributor of social casino, casual and mid-core free-to-play, and premium paid games for PC, Mac and mobile devices;


•	Other Investments, which includes United Tote and other minor investments; and


•	Corporate, which includes miscellaneous and other revenue, compensation expense, professional fees and other general and administrative expense not allocated to our other operating segments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Eliminations include the elimination of intersegment transactions. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following:

Adjusted EBITDA includes our 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, we updated our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude changes in Big Fish Games deferred revenue. Effective January 1, 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.

We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric because we believe the inclusion or exclusion of certain non-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. 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 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The tables below present net revenue from external customers and intercompany revenue from each of our operating segments, Adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Information set forth in this discussion and analysis contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act") provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are made pursuant to the Act. The reader is cautioned that such forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time and/or management’s good faith belief with respect to future events, and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statement was made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "predict," "project," "seek," "should," "will," and similar words, although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include the following: the effect of economic conditions on our consumers' confidence and discretionary spending or our access to credit; additional or increased taxes and fees; public perceptions of integrity or other lack of confidence in our business; loss of key or highly skilled personnel; restrictions in our debt facilities limiting our flexibility to operate our business; general risks related to real estate ownership, including fluctuations in market values and environmental regulations; catastrophic events and system failures disrupting our operations, including the impact of natural and other disasters on our operations and our ability to obtain insurance recoveries in respect of such losses; inability to identify and complete acquisition, expansion or divestiture projects on time, on budget or as planned; difficulty in integrating recent or future acquisitions into our operations; legalization of online real money gaming in the United States, and our ability to capitalize on and predict such legalization; inability to respond to rapid technological changes in a timely manner; adverse infringement of the intellectual property of others; inability to protect our own intellectual property rights; security breaches and other security risks related to our technology, personal information, source code and other proprietary information, including failure to comply with regulations and other legal obligations relating to receiving, processing, storing and using personal information; payment-related risks, such as chargebacks for fraudulent credit card use; compliance with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act or applicable money-laundering regulations; work stoppages and labor issues; difficulty in attracting a sufficient number of horses and trainers for full field horseraces; inability to negotiate agreements with industry constituents, including horsemen and other racetracks; personal injury litigation related to injuries occurring at our racetracks; the inability of our totalisator company, United Tote, to maintain its processes accurately, keep its technology current or maintain its significant customers; weather conditions affecting our ability to conduct live racing; increased competition in the horseracing business; changes in the regulatory environment of our racing operations; declining popularity in horseracing; seasonal fluctuations in our horseracing business due to geographic concentration of our operations; increased competition in our casino business; changes in regulatory environment of our casino business; development and expansion of casinos is costly and susceptible to delays, cost overruns and other uncertainties; concentration and evolution of slot machine manufacturing and other technology conditions that could impose additional costs; impact of further legislation prohibiting tobacco smoking; geographic concentration of our casino business; changes in regulatory environment for our advanced deposit wagering business; increase in competition in the advanced deposit wagering business; inability to retain current customers or attract new customers to our advanced deposit wagering business; uncertainty and changes in the legal landscape relating to our advanced deposit wagering business; failure to comply with laws requiring us to block access to certain individuals could result in penalties or impairment in our ability to offer advanced deposit wagering; operating in an evolving and highly competitive market related to our Big Fish Games; inability to maintain relationships with third party mobile platforms related to our Big Fish Games; failure to develop and publish mobile games that achieve market acceptance; inability to secure new or ongoing content from third party development partners on favorable terms; programming errors or flaws or other technical difficulties, diminishing our customers’ experience; "cheating" programs, scam offers, black-markets and other actions by third parties that seek to exploit our games and players may affect our reputation and harm our operating results; slower than expected growth in use of smartphone and tablet devices to facilitate game platforms; and financial volatility quarter-to-quarter relating to our Big Fish Games.

The following information is unaudited. Tabular dollars are in millions, except per share amounts. 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, 2016, including Part I – Item 1A, "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for a discussion regarding some of the reasons that actual results may be materially different from those we anticipate.

Our Business

Executive Overview

We are an industry-leading racing, gaming and online entertainment company anchored by our iconic flagship event - The Kentucky Derby. We are a leader in brick-and-mortar casino gaming with approximately 10,090 gaming positions in eight states, and we are the largest, legal online account wagering platform for horseracing in the U.S. We are also one of the world's largest producers and distributors of mobile games. We were organized as a Kentucky corporation in 1928, and our principal executive offices are located in Louisville, Kentucky.

Our management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition. These indicators include changes in net revenue, operating expense, operating income, earnings per share, outstanding debt balance, operating cash flow and capital spend.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). We also use non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, U.S. GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following:

Adjusted EBITDA includes our 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 segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Refer to the Reconciliation of Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included in this section for additional information.

Our Operations

We manage our operations through six operating segments: Racing, Casinos, TwinSpires, Big Fish Games, Other Investments and Corporate.

Racing Segment

Our Racing segment includes our four racetracks: Churchill Downs Racetrack ("Churchill Downs"), Arlington International Race Course ("Arlington"), Fair Grounds Race Course ("Fair Grounds") and Calder Race Course ("Calder"). We conduct live horseracing at Churchill Downs, Arlington and Fair Grounds. On July 1, 2014, we entered into a racing services agreement with The Stronach Group ("TSG") to allow Gulfstream Park to manage and operate Calder through December 31, 2020. We conducted 64 live thoroughbred race days in the second quarter of 2017 and 61 live thoroughbred race days in the second quarter of 2016. For the six months ended June 30, 2017, we conducted 119 live thoroughbred racing days, which compares to 115 live thoroughbred racing days during the six months ended June 30, 2016.

Casinos Segment

We are also a provider of brick-and-mortar real-money casino gaming with approximately 10,090 gaming positions located in eight states. We own five casinos: Oxford Casino ("Oxford"), Riverwalk Casino ("Riverwalk"), Harlow's Casino ("Harlow’s"),

Calder Casino, and Fair Grounds Slots, in addition to two hotels (Riverwalk and Harlow’s). We also own Video Services, LLC ("VSI") associated with our Fair Grounds property. In addition, we have a 50% equity investment in MVG, a 25% equity investment in Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC ("SCH") and an effective 62.5% equity investment in Ocean Downs. Our casino revenue is primarily generated from slot machines, video poker and table games while ancillary revenue includes hotel and food and beverage sales.

TwinSpires Segment

Our TwinSpires segment includes TwinSpires.com, Fair Grounds Account Wagering ("FAW"), Velocity, Churchill Downs Interactive Gaming ("I-Gaming"), Bluff Media ("Bluff") and Bloodstock Research Information Services ("BRIS"). On April 24, 2017, we completed the acquisition of BAM Software and Services, LLC ("BetAmerica"), which is included in our TwinSpires segment.

Big Fish Games Segment

Big Fish Games, Inc. ("Big Fish Games") is a global producer and distributor of social casino, casual and mid-core free-to-play, and premium paid games for PC, Mac and mobile devices.

Other Investments Segment

Our Other Investments Segment includes United Tote and our other minor investments.

In June 2017, we announced Churchill Downs is investing approximately $60.0 million to construct an 85,000 square-foot, state-of-the-art historical racing machine facility in Louisville, Kentucky.

Corporate Segment

Our Corporate segment includes miscellaneous and other revenue, compensation expense, professional fees and other general and administrative expense not allocated to our other operating segments.

Government Regulations and Potential Legislative Changes

We are subject to various federal, state and international laws and regulations that affect our businesses. The ownership, operation and management of our racing operations, our casino operations, TwinSpires and Big Fish Games are subject to regulation under the laws and regulations of each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The ownership, operation and management of our segments are also subject to legislative actions at both the federal and state level. The following update on 2017 regulatory and legislative activities should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, including Part I - Item 1, "Business" of our Form 10-K for a discussion of regulatory and legislative issues.

Specific State Casino Regulations and Potential Legislative Changes

Maryland

In April 2017, Maryland's Governor signed a law allowing casinos in Allegany and Worcester counties to qualify for a 10% gaming tax reduction on slot machine revenue effective July 1, 2017. In order to qualify for the gaming tax reduction, casinos must purchase or acquire the right to lease all of their video lottery terminals ("VLT") prior to January 1, 2019. If casinos do not purchase or assume the right to lease prior to January 1, 2019, then they will be required to assume ownership or lease the terminals by March 31, 2020 without receiving the full tax reduction. We believe the legislation will have a positive impact on our business.

Under pre-April 2017 Maryland law, Ocean Downs would be required to spend $1.5 million on racing-related capital maintenance and expenditures in order to qualify for a matching grant from the state. In April 2017, legislation was signed into law to lower the minimum threshold to qualify for matching state funds to $0.3 million. We believe the legislation will have a positive impact on our business.

Also in April 2017, legislation was signed into law to allow a VLT licensee to reduce the following day's proceeds for the amount of money returned to players that exceeds the amount bet through VLT's or table games on a given day, thereby reducing the taxes owed by the VLT licensee. We believe the legislation will have a positive impact on our business.

Maine

In June 2017, Maine’s Governor signed legislation which restored a tip credit provision into the minimum wage law. The provision was previously removed after Maine voters approved a November 2016 ballot question which not only raised the minimum wage from $7.50 to $9.00 an hour in 2017 and to $12 an hour by 2020, but eliminated the tip credit which would have required employers to pay all workers the same wage. The newly reenacted provision allows employers to pay tipped employees a lower hourly wage than what is paid to minimum wage employees. We believe the legislation will have a positive impact on our business.

New York

In June 2017, the New York legislature passed a bill that will allow Saratoga Casino Hotel to be eligible to use up to 4% of net winnings for capital improvement projects at the facility. The money must be used solely for capital projects that will improve the facility and attract customers. The capital projects must be approved by the lottery and the gaming commission. The bill awaits the Governor’s signature. If the legislation is enacted, it could have a positive material impact on our business.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

•

Racing revenue increased $11.0 million due to a $9.0 million increase at Churchill Downs primarily from a successful Kentucky Derby and Oaks week, a $1.5 million increase at Arlington driven by an increase in handle and admissions, and a $0.6 million increase at Fairgrounds due to a shift of the Louisiana Derby timing from March in 2016 to April in 2017. These increases were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease from other sources.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2017, Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Significant items affecting comparability of consolidated operating expense include:

•

Taxes and purses increased $6.3 million primarily driven by a $2.1 million increase in pari-mutuel taxes for TwinSpires due to the $1.7 million 2016 Pennsylvania tax refund which did not recur and the increase in handle, a $1.9 million increase in purses at Churchill Downs due to two additional live race days, a $1.4 million increase in taxes for our Casinos primarily driven by Oxford and Calder due to successful promotional activities, and a $0.9 million increase in other expenses.


•	Platform and development fees at Big Fish Games decreased $5.5 million driven by the decrease in revenues.

•	Marketing and advertising expense decreased $7.6 million primarily driven by a $9.1 million decrease in Big Fish Games user acquisition expense primarily associated with casual and mid-core free-to-play games, partially offset by a $1.4 million increase in TwinSpires marketing for Kentucky Derby and Oaks, and a $0.1 million increase in other expenses.


•	Content expense increased $5.0 million primarily driven by a 34.0% increase in active players and 19.6% handle growth at TwinSpires.


•	Selling, general and administrative expense increased $2.1 million driven primarily by a $1.3 million increase in stock-based compensation expense and a $0.8 million increase in other expenses.

•	Calder exit costs decreased $1.3 million driven by lower costs associated with the grandstand demolition.


•	Other operating expense includes utilities, maintenance, food and beverage costs, property taxes and insurance and other operating expense. Other operating expense increased $1.4 million primarily due to an increase in property taxes and insurance.

Adjusted EBITDA

We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of the results of operations enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our 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. Adjusted EBITDA 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.

During the fourth quarter of 2016, we updated our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude changes in Big Fish Games deferred revenue. Effective January 1, 2017, certain revenue previously included in our Corporate segment was deemed by management to be more closely aligned with our TwinSpires segment. Accordingly, the prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to this presentation.

Total liabilities	$	1,680.7	$	1,569.4	$	111.3
Total shareholders' equity	$	601.3	$	685.0	$	(83.7	)

Significant items affecting the comparability of our condensed consolidated balance sheets include:

•

Total assets increased $27.6 million driven by a $28.9 million increase in investments in affiliates primarily due to the acquired interest of Ocean Downs, a $28.4 million increase in property and equipment, net due to our capital project and maintenance expenditures partially offset by depreciation expense, and a $15.0 million increase in goodwill due to the acquisition of BetAmerica. Partially offsetting these increases were a $13.6 million decrease in escrow receivable due to the completion of certain purchases of property and equipment, an $11.5 million decrease in intangible assets due to amortization expense partially offset by intangible assets acquired in the acquisition of BetAmerica, a $10.8 million decrease in accounts receivable, net primarily due to cash receipts related to the 2017 Kentucky Derby and Oaks events partially offset by receipts due from Big Fish Games third party platforms, a $7.6 million decrease in income taxes receivable driven by our current year income tax provision, and a $1.2 million decrease in all other assets.

•

Total liabilities increased $111.3 million driven by a $150.0 million increase in our total debt balance as we primarily borrowed under our Senior Secured Credit Facility to fund repurchases of common stock, a $42.3 million increase in income taxes payable due to our current year income tax provision, and a $34.1 million increase in accounts payable primarily due to timing of TwinSpires and Racing related payments.

Capital project expenditures represent fixed asset additions related to land or building improvements to new or existing assets or purchases of new (non-replacement) equipment or software related to specific projects deemed necessary expenditures.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2017, Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

•

Cash provided by operating activities increased $4.3 million driven by a $17.2 million decrease in Big Fish Games earnout payments in comparison to the prior year, a $14.2 million increase in our income taxes payable primarily related to timing of payments and refunds, and increases of $3.6 million in other operating items. Partially offsetting these increases was a $30.7 million reduction in deferred revenue driven by timing of payments related to the Kentucky Derby and Oaks events and lower Big Fish Games bookings.

•

Cash used in investing activities increased $61.7 million driven by $27.9 million in higher capital project expenditures, a $24.0 million equity investment in Ocean Downs, $23.1 million for the acquisition of BetAmerica, and $0.3 million in all other investing activities. Partially offsetting these increases was a $13.6 million decrease in receivable from escrow related to the Calder land sale from the fourth quarter of 2016.


•	Cash used in financing activities decreased $69.6 million primarily driven by a $230.2 million reduction in the Big Fish Games earnout payment and $8.9 million in other financing activities. Partially offsetting these reductions was a $6.1 million change in net borrowings and repayments under our Senior Secured Credit Facility and a $163.4 million increase in stock repurchases.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

On February 17, 2016, we entered into an amendment (the "New Agreement") which amends certain provisions of the credit agreement including extending the maturity of both the Senior Secured Credit Facility and the Term Loan Facility ("Term Loan") through February 2021, coterminous with one another. The maximum aggregate commitment for the Senior Secured Credit Facility remains at $500.0 million and the unamortized Term Loan of $188.7 million was refinanced as part of this amendment.

Regarding the Term Loan, we are required to make quarterly principal payments based on the amortization schedule in the New Agreement. Payments are set to occur on the last day of each quarter through the maturity date with annual paydown requirements of 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15% and a bullet payment due at maturity. The amortization schedule calls for quarterly principal payments of $2.4 million that commenced on March 31, 2016 and increased in increments of $1.2 million on March 31 of each year to reach final year quarterly payment amounts of $7.1 million. If no additional payments are made, the balance due at termination will be $94.4 million.

Generally, borrowings made pursuant to the Senior Secured Credit Facility bear interest at a LIBOR-based rate per annum plus an applicable percentage ranging from 1.125% to 2.5% depending on our total leverage ratio. In addition, under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, we agreed to pay a commitment fee at rates that range from 0.15% to 0.35% of the available aggregate commitment, depending on our total leverage ratio. The Term Loan is not subject to, nor included in the calculation of, the commitment fee. The weighted average interest rate on outstanding borrowings was 3.1% at June 30, 2017 and 2.7% at December 31, 2016.

The Senior Secured Credit Facility contains customary affirmative and negative covenants for credit facilities of this type, including limitations on us and our subsidiaries with respect to indebtedness, restricted payments, liens, investments, mergers and acquisitions, disposition of assets, sale-leaseback transactions and transactions with affiliates. The covenants permit us to use proceeds of the credit extended under the agreement for general corporate purposes, restricted payments and acquisition needs. The Senior Secured Credit Facility also contains financial covenants that require us (i) to maintain an interest coverage ratio (i.e., consolidated adjusted EBITDA to consolidated interest expense) that is greater than 3.0 to 1.0; (ii) not to permit the total leverage ratio (i.e., total

consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated adjusted EBITDA) to be greater than 4.5 to 1.0, provided that if a certain minimum consolidated adjusted EBITDA is reached then the total leverage ratio will be increased to 5.0 to 1.0 for such periods that the minimum is maintained; and (iii) not to permit the senior secured leverage ratio (i.e. senior secured consolidated funded indebtedness to consolidated adjusted EBITDA) to be greater than 3.5 to 1.0. As of June 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Senior Secured Credit Facility, and we have significant assets pledged as collateral under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. At June 30, 2017, the financial ratios under our Senior Secured Credit Facility were as follows:



	Actual	Requirement
Interest Coverage Ratio	7.7 to 1	> 3.0 to 1.0
Total Leverage Ratio	3.2 to 1	< 4.5 to 1.0
Senior Secured Leverage Ratio	1.5 to 1	< 3.5 to 1.0

As of June 30, 2017, we had $7.1 million in letter of credit commitments which reduced the total available capacity under the Senior Secured Credit Facility to $188.2 million.

5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes

On December 16, 2013, we completed an offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on December 15, 2021 (the "Initial Senior Unsecured Notes" or the "Existing Notes"). The Initial Senior Unsecured Notes were issued at par, with interest payable on June 15^th and December 15^th of each year. We received net proceeds of $295.0 million, after deducting underwriting fees, and used the net proceeds from the offering to repay a portion of our outstanding revolver borrowings, and accrued and unpaid interest outstanding. In connection with the issuance, we capitalized $6.3 million of debt issuance costs which are being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Initial Senior Unsecured Notes.

On December 16, 2015, we completed an additional offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes that mature on December 15, 2021 (the "Tack-on Notes"). The Tack-on Notes were issued under the December 16, 2013 Indenture (the "Indenture") governing the $300.0 million Existing Notes and form a part of the same series as the Existing Notes for purposes of the Indenture. The Tack-on Notes were issued at 101% with interest payable on June 15^th and December 15^th of each year. We received net proceeds of $299.0 million, after deducting underwriting fees and used the net proceeds from the offering to repay outstanding revolver borrowings along with accrued and unpaid interest outstanding under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. In connection with the issuance, we capitalized $4.7 million of debt issuance costs which are being amortized as interest expense over the remaining term of the Tack-on Notes.

Upon completion of this Tack-on Notes offering, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes under this series is $600.0 million (collectively the "Senior Unsecured Notes").

Both series of the Senior Unsecured Notes were issued in private offerings that were exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and are senior unsecured obligations. The total Senior Unsecured Notes are guaranteed by each of our domestic subsidiaries that guarantee our Senior Secured Credit Facility and will rank equally with our existing and future senior obligations. We may redeem all or part of the Senior Unsecured Notes at a redemption price of 104.0% which gradually reduces to par by 2019.

Contractual Obligations

Our commitments to make future payments as of June 30, 2017, are estimated as follows:



(in millions)	July 1 to December 31, 2017		2018-2019		2020-2021		Thereafter		Total

Total	$	36.6	$	215.4	$	1,124.1	$	85.0	$	1,461.1

(1) Interest includes the estimated contractual payments under our Senior Secured Credit Facility assuming no change in the weighted average borrowing rate of 3.1% which was the rate in place as of June 30, 2017.

On March 27, 2017, the Company amended the Merger Agreement associated with the Company's acquisition of Big Fish Games dated as of December 16, 2014, to extend the deferral of the earnout consideration payable and the Big Fish Games' founder deferred payment on December 15, 2017 to January 3, 2018. As of June 30, 2017, the fair value of the Big Fish Games earnout liability was $33.8 million and the fair value of the Big Fish Games deferred payment to the founder was $28.1 million, both of which we expect to pay in 2018.

As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $3.1 million of unrecognized tax benefits.


ITEM 3.	QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:


•	general economic trends;


•	interest rate and credit risk; and


•	foreign currency exchange risk.

General economic trends

Our business is sensitive to consumer confidence and reductions in consumer’s discretionary spending, which may result from challenging economic conditions, 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, online wagering sites and our casual gaming site, downloading our online games and/or may impact our customers’ ability to wager with the same frequency and to maintain wagering levels.

Interest rate and credit risk

Our primary exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2017, we had $476.9 million outstanding under our Senior Secured Credit Facility, which bears interest at LIBOR 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 rate would reduce net income and cash flows from operating activities by $3.0 million.

Foreign currency exchange risk

We operate internationally and are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk. While the substantial majority of our revenue has been and is expected to continue to be denominated in U.S. dollars, our results of operations and cash flows are subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Euro. Due to the relative size of our international operations to date, our foreign currency exposure is not material and thus we have not instituted a hedging program.


ITEM 4.	CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2017. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting. Our process for evaluating controls and procedures is continuous and encompasses constant improvement of the design and effectiveness of established controls and procedures.

There have been no material changes with respect to legal proceedings disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.
