Meeker and Chairman William S. Farish 1999 Annual Report 3 1999 was the year in which our planning and our commitment to excellence resulted in outstanding progress for Churchill Downs Incorporated. Aided by strategic acquisitions, we achieved record financial results, we reinforced our leadership in the racing industry, and we continued our development of a comprehensive simulcast product. These accomplishments underscore the value of our four-prong business strategy, which continues to guide us as we embark on an era in our industry that will be defined by marketing innovations and technological advances. With progress comes change. Two years ago, our operations were centered in Indiana and Kentucky. We now have five racetracks in four states, including California and Florida. The acquisitions of Calder Race Course and Hollywood Park more than tripled the size of our Company’s assets. In 1997, we had a staff of 325 full-time employees; now we employ 1,000 people full time. To support this growth, the integration of our new properties and any future expansion plans, the Company has built a strong managerial infrastructure, and we are dedicating considerable energies to develop cohesiveness in our practices, which allows us to share resources effectively.

    Notice of Annual Meeting of Shareholders 2021 Proxy Statement 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K Chairman and CEO’s Message Dear Fellow Shareholders, Our country faced unprecedented challenges in 2020 stemming from the COVID-19 global pandemic. Our leadership teams’ quick actions to reduce our cost structure, preserve capital and provide additional financial resources in response to this crisis reflected the resilience necessary to weather these difficult times. We are proud of how our leadership team and our team members reacted quickly to the pandemic’s threat to our company and we want to personally thank each of them for their commitment and dedication.

Also, we had a total shareholder return in 2020 of 43%—a return that significantly exceeded the S&P 500, the Russell 2000, and the S&P Midcap 400 Index. We are especially proud of the following 2020 accomplishments: Š In a very challenging environment, we safely ran the 146th Kentucky Derby, spectator-free on the first Saturday of September, generating double digit positive EBITDA. We protected the safety of our community and team members and also protected the reputation, the brand, and the long-term value of this iconic asset.

  • 2007 Annual Report
    C HURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED 2007 Annual Report Dear Shareholder– The pages that follow provide considerable detail on the performance of your Company during 2007. In this brief letter we would like to highlight three key developments. First, like every company, we want to achieve sustained revenue and earnings growth. In the no-growth U.S. Thoroughbred industry, this is no easy feat. In 2007 we put in place two new business capabilities that we hope will produce such growth. We entered the advance-deposit wagering (“ADW”) business with the launch of Twinspires.com and the subsequent acquisition of the AmericaTAB and Bloodstock Research Information Services companies. Our ADW businesses generated more than $94 million in handle during the fi rst six months we owned them in 2007, and we are confi dent we will further grow this segment of our operations – and its bottom-line impact – in 2008. We launched our fi rst gaming operation in September 2007 with the opening of a 245-machine temporary slot operation at our Fair Grounds Race Course in New Orleans that has exceeded our expectations for average daily net win per machine. While we can’t predict future levels of play, we are very pleased with the temporary facility’s performance to date. The permanent slot machine facility at the Fair Grounds is under construction, and we expect to open it in late 2008 with an initial 600 machines. Finally, we were successful in winning the Jan. 29, 2008, election in Florida’s Miami-Dade County, which will enable us to launch a slot operation at our Calder Race Course.
