Live and Historical Racing

	Third Quarter
(in millions)	2026		2025
Revenue	$	315		$	305
Adjusted EBITDA		111			116

Third quarter 2026 revenue increased $10 million due to an $11 million increase from our Kentucky HRM venues and a $1 million increase from Churchill Downs Racetrack, partially offset by a $1 million decrease from our Virginia HRM venues and a $1 million decrease from our New Hampshire venues. The Kentucky HRM increase was due to a $7 million increase from our Southwestern Kentucky venues, a $2 million increase from our Northern Kentucky venues, a $1 million increase from our Western Kentucky venues, and a $1 million increase from our Louisville venues. The Virginia HRM decrease was due to a $6 million net decrease from our Central Virginia venues primarily from increased competition, partially offset by a $4 million net increase from our Northern Virginia venues and a $1 million increase at our Western Virginia venue. The New Hampshire decrease was due to the closure of our temporary Casino Salem venue during the construction of our new Rockingham Grand Casino venue.

Third quarter 2026 Adjusted EBITDA decreased $5 million due to a $6 million decrease from our Virginia HRM venues, a $4 million decrease due to a one-time business interruption insurance recovery received in the prior year quarter for our Northern Virginia venue, and a $1 million decrease at our New Hampshire venues, partially offset by a $6 million increase from our Kentucky HRM venues. The Virginia HRM decrease was primarily due to a $10 million decrease from our Central Virginia venues that was partially offset by a $3 million increase from our Northern Virginia venue and a $1 million net increase from our Western Virginia and Southern Virginia venues. The decrease from our Central Virginia venues was primarily due to increased competition and a $5 million new tax expense related to live race days under the new racing and HRM tax structure that became effective July 1, 2026. Our Virginia HRM venues continue to benefit from a statewide HRM handle tax reduction that became effective July 1, 2025 as part of this new tax structure. The New Hampshire decrease was due to the closure of our temporary Casino Salem venue during the construction of our Rockingham Grand Casino venue. The Kentucky HRM increase was due to a $3 million increase from our Southwestern Kentucky venues, a $2 million increase from our Northern Kentucky venues, and a $1 million increase from our Louisville venues.

CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

United Tote Acquisition

On August 3, 2026, the Company closed on its previously announced acquisition of 49% of United Tote Company from NYRA Content Management Solutions, LLC, a subsidiary of NYRA. Concurrent with this transaction, NYRA has agreed to extend its tote services agreement with United Tote through 2035.

Credit Agreement

On September 25, 2026, the Company closed the eighth amendment to its senior secured credit facility (the "Credit Agreement") to (i) extend the maturity date of its Revolver and Term Loan A from July 2029 to September 2031, (ii) eliminate the 10 basis points credit spread adjustment previously applicable, and (iii) amend certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement.

The Company also entered into the $500 million 2033 TLB under its Credit Agreement. The 2033 TLB was issued at 99.875% of the principal amount and has a maturity date of September 25, 2033. The 2033 TLB bears interest at SOFR plus 175 basis points. The Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the 2033 TLB to repay indebtedness outstanding under its 2028 TLB, repay indebtedness outstanding under its 2031 Revolver, to fund related transaction fees and expenses, and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.

On October 19, 2026, the Company redeemed the 2027 Senior Notes with borrowings from the 2031 Revolver.

Annual Dividend

On October 27, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors declared an annual cash dividend on the Company's common stock of $0.469 per outstanding share, a seven percent increase over the prior year. The dividend is payable on January 5, 2027, to shareholders of record as of the close of business on December 4, 2026, with the aggregate cash dividend to be paid to each shareholder rounded to the nearest whole cent. This will be the sixteenth consecutive year that the Company has increased the dividend per share.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company repurchased 570,169 shares of its common stock at a total cost of $48 million in the third quarter of 2026. We had approximately $382 million of repurchase authority remaining under the July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program as of September 30, 2026.

On October 27, 2026, the Company's Board of Directors approved a new common stock repurchase program of up to $750 million (the "October 2026 Stock Repurchase Program"). The October 2026 Stock Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to the $306 million remaining under the July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program as of the close of trading on October 27, 2026.

NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO CDI

The Company's third quarter 2026 net income attributable to CDI was $80 million compared to $38 million in the prior year quarter.

The following factors impacted the comparability of the Company's third quarter 2026 net income to the prior year quarter:

• a $35 million after-tax impairment charge in the prior year quarter related to the impairment of the Chasers' gaming rights.
  

This was offset by:

• a $2 million after-tax increase in other charges and recoveries, net.
  

Excluding the items above, third quarter 2026 adjusted net income attributable to CDI increased $9 million primarily due to the following:

• a $4 million after-tax increase in equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates;
• a $3 million after-tax increase primarily driven by the results of our operations;
• a $1 million after-tax decrease in interest expense; and
• a $1 million after-tax decrease of the portion of the Company's income from United Tote and our facility in New Hampshire being recognized as income attributable to a noncontrolling interest.

Use of Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the results provided in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("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 key performance measures 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 supplemental measures of our performance that are 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 interests; 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 interests.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

• Transaction expense, net, which includes:
  • Acquisition, disposition, and property sale related charges; and
  • Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
• Stock-based compensation expense;
• Rivers Des Plaines' impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from legal reserves and transaction costs;
• Asset impairments, net;
• Gain on property sales;
• 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 Income. See the Reconciliation of Net Income to Adjusted EBITDA included herewith for additional information.
