Live and Historical Racing

Fourth Quarter 2022

• Net revenue for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $87.0 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to $62.4 million in revenue attributable to the Virginia properties acquired in the P2E Transaction, $6.9 million in revenue attributable to properties acquired in the Ellis Park and Chasers Transactions, and a $17.7 million increase driven primarily by continued growth at our Oak Grove property and the opening of Turfway Park in September 2022.
• Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $30.6 million from the prior year quarter primarily due to a $30.1 million increase attributable to the Virginia properties acquired in the P2E Transaction and a $0.5 million increase attributable to the Chasers Transaction. Adjusted EBITDA growth from our Oak Grove property was offset by a decrease from Turfway Park associated with its first quarter of operation and from Derby City Gaming due to disruption from construction associated with the gaming floor and hotel expansion.

TwinSpires

Fourth Quarter 2022

• Adjusted EBITDA for the fourth quarter of 2022 increased $12.1 million from the prior year quarter due to a $14.3 million increase from our Sports and Casino business primarily due to decreased marketing and promotional activities and a $2.2 million decrease attributable to lower Horse Racing net revenue.

Total Year 2022

• Net revenue decreased $16.2 million primarily due to a decrease in pari-mutuel handle as a higher portion of our patrons returned to wagering at brick-and-mortar facilities instead of wagering online and the decision to exit the direct online Sports and Casino business in the first quarter of 2022.
• Adjusted EBITDA for 2022 increased $31.4 million primarily due to a $40.0 million increase from our Sports and Casino business primarily due to decreased marketing and promotional activities and an $8.6 million decrease attributable to lower Horse Racing net revenue.

Partially offsetting these increases was a decrease of $18.3 million primarily from our Mississippi and Pennsylvania properties due to the current economic conditions.
