"Our properties' extensive operating protocols have been extremely effective and have allowed us to operate safely during the pandemic," said Bill Carstanjen, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. "We have continued to refine and improve our efficiencies and safety protocols in the fourth quarter." 

Third Quarter 2020 Net Income Attributable to CDI

The Company's third quarter of 2020 net income attributable to CDI was $43.2 million compared to $14.8 million in the prior year quarter. The Company's third quarter of 2020 net income from continuing operations was $43.1 million compared to $15.2 million in the prior year quarter.

The following items impacted the comparability of the Company's third quarter net income from continuing operations:

  • $3.3 million after-tax expense decrease related to our equity portion of the non-cash change in fair value of Midwest Gaming's (the parent company of Rivers Des Plaines) interest rate swaps;
  • $3.0 million after-tax decrease in expenses due to legal reserves in the prior year quarter that did not recur in the current year quarter; and
  • $0.5 million non-cash tax impact related to the re-measurement of our net deferred tax liabilities in the third quarter of 2019 that did not recur in the current year quarter based on an increase in revenue related to states with higher tax rates.
  • Partially offset by a $4.3 million after-tax increase in higher transaction, pre-opening and other expenses.

Excluding these items, net income from continuing operations increased $25.4 million primarily due to the following:

  • $27.6 million after-tax increase driven by the results of our operations and equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates.
  • Partially offset by $2.2 million after-tax increase in interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances.

COVID-19 Update

The supplemental information in this release provides additional detail on the temporary closures and the respective reopening dates by segment and property for our Company as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of September 30, 2020, all of our properties have reopened with patron restrictions and gaming capacity limitations. We also implemented other initiatives to facilitate social distancing and enhanced cleaning, such as increased frequency of cleaning and sanitizing of all high-touch surfaces, mandatory temperature checks of all guests and team members upon entry and required training for all team members on safety protocols. Certain amenities at our properties have continued to be suspended, including all of our food buffets and valet services, and certain restaurants and food outlets. As the Company has reopened these properties, certain employees have returned to work while others remain on temporary furlough due to the capacity restrictions at these properties.

Our third quarter of 2020 financial results were materially impacted by the rescheduling of the 146th Kentucky Oaks and Derby from the second quarter of 2020 to the third quarter of 2020 without spectators, by the temporary suspended operations at certain properties, and continued restrictions at the properties that have reopened.

Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel

On September 18, 2020, the Company opened simulcast and historical racing machine ("HRM") operations at Oak Grove Racing, Gaming & Hotel ("Oak Grove") in Oak Grove, Kentucky with 1,325 HRMs. The 128-room hotel at Oak Grove opened October 15, 2020.

Effective September 11, 2020, the Company purchased the remaining equity interests of WKY Development, LLC, a joint venture that owns Oak Grove, from Keeneland Association, Inc. for $3.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, the Company no longer reports a noncontrolling interest associated with Oak Grove in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

Newport Racing & Gaming

The Company also invested $38.4 million to build-out Newport Racing & Gaming ("Newport"), located in Newport, Kentucky, to create a premier entertainment experience as an extension of Turfway Park. Newport opened on October 2, 2020 and has a pari-mutuel simulcast area, a 17,000 square foot gaming floor with 500 HRMs, and a feature bar.

BetAmerica Update

On September 24, 2020, the Company opened a retail BetAmerica sportsbook at Bronco Billy's Casino in Cripple Creek, Colorado, and on September 25, 2020, the Company opened a retail BetAmerica sportsbook at Island Resort & Casino in Harris, Michigan. BetAmerica plans to launch its mobile sportsbook and iGaming application in each of Pennsylvania, Colorado and Michigan, and its mobile sportsbook application in Indiana, subject to regulatory approvals.

In August 2020, the Company announced the entry into multi-year agreements with GAN Limited and Kambi Group PLC to provide player account management, casino platform, sports trading and risk management services to BetAmerica.

Net revenue$126.4  $70.4 
Adjusted EBITDA31.9  15.0

Adjusted EBITDA increased $16.9 million in the third quarter of 2020 from the prior year quarter primarily due to a $16.4 million increase from TwinSpires due to an increase in handle and a $0.5 million decrease in the loss from our online sports betting and iGaming operations.

GamingThird Quarter
(in millions)2020 2019
    
Net revenue$134.9  $178.6 
Adjusted EBITDA75.4  71.7 

For the third quarter of 2020, net revenue decreased $43.7 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to an $18.0 million decrease due to the temporary suspension of operations at Calder from July 2, 2020 to August 31, 2020; and a $15.0 million decrease at Oxford, a $10.5 million decrease at Presque Isle, a $2.8 million decrease at Lady Luck Nemacolin, a $2.4 million decrease at Ocean Downs, and a $0.3 million decrease at Harlow's, all of which were due to the patron restrictions and gaming capacity limitations at each property. Partially offsetting these decreases were a $2.9 million increase at Fair Grounds and VSI and a $2.4 million increase at Riverwalk, driven by targeted promotional offers and higher unrated play.

Adjusted EBITDA increased $3.7 million for the third quarter of 2020 from the prior year quarter driven by an $8.8 million increase due to strong performances from our Rivers Des Plaines and Miami Valley Gaming equity investments. These increases were partially offset by a $5.1 million decrease at our wholly-owned Gaming properties as increased Adjusted EBITDA for our Mississippi and Louisiana properties was more than offset by a decrease in Adjusted EBITDA for our other wholly owned Gaming properties compared to the prior year quarter due to patron restrictions and gaming capacity limitations. 

All Other

For the third quarter of 2020, All Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5.4 million primarily due to a $3.0 million decrease from Arlington due to the temporary suspension of operations and patron restrictions during our live meet in the third quarter of 2020 compared to the prior year quarter, and a $2.4 million decrease at Corporate primarily due to an adjustment to our estimated annual payout related to accrued bonuses.

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 Midwest Gaming; recapitalization costs related to the Midwest Gaming transaction; transaction expense, which includes acquisition and disposition related charges, Calder racing exit costs, as well as legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense; pre-opening expense; and certain other gains, charges, recoveries, and expenses.

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

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

  • Transaction expense, net which includes:
    • Acquisition and disposition related charges;
    • Calder racing exit costs; and
    • Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
  • Stock-based compensation expense;
  • Midwest Gaming's impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from:
    • The impact of changes in fair value of interest rate swaps; and
    • Recapitalization and transaction costs;
  • Asset impairments;
  • Gain on Ocean Downs/Saratoga Transaction;
  • Legal reserves;
  • Pre-opening expense; and
  • Other charges, recoveries and expenses

For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive (loss) income. Refer to the reconciliation of comprehensive income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.
