Net income8.7  4.2 
Diluted net income per share$0.52  $0.24 
 
(a- Non-GAAP measure. See explanation of non-GAAP measures below.   

Net revenue growth was driven by an $18.7 million increase from Big Fish Games primarily from casual and mid-core free-to-play game growth, a $4.3 million increase from TwinSpires and a $0.3 million increase from our Casinos segment.

Adjusted EBITDA declined $4.9 million driven by a $9.8 million decrease from Big Fish Games partially offset by:

  • $3.7 million increase from Casinos
  • $1.2 million increase from TwinSpires

The increase in net income and diluted net income per share was primarily a result of:

  • $17.4 million increase in operating income due to:
    • $12.2 million decrease in Calder exit costs
    • $5.3 million increase from Big Fish Games
    • $3.1 million increase in TwinSpires
    • Partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease from Casinos, a $1.0 million decrease from Racing and a $1.1 million decrease in other expense
  • $2.6 million increase in income from our equity investments related to Saratoga Casino Holdings LLC (“SCH”) and Miami Valley Gaming (“MVG”)
  • Partially offsetting these increases were:
    • $11.0 million increase in our income tax provision primarily from additional operating income and an increase in our effective tax rate
    • $4.4 million increase in net interest expense associated with higher outstanding debt balances

Operating Segment Summaries:

We use Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources.  We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric because we believe the inclusion or exclusion of certain 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. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).  Our calculation of Adjusted EBITDA may be different from the calculation used by other companies and, therefore, comparability may be limited.

The operating segment summaries below present net revenue from external customers and intercompany revenue from each of our operating segments:

RACINGThird Quarter
(in millions):2016 2015
    
Net revenue$41.3  $41.2 
Adjusted EBITDA0.4  0.3 

Net revenue was relatively flat for the quarter as increased revenue at Churchill Downs was offset by declines at Fair Grounds and Arlington.

Adjusted EBITDA increased by $0.1 million primarily driven by:

  • $0.5 million increase at Churchill Downs from handle growth associated with a strong September racing meet
  • $0.3 million increase at Calder primarily driven by a property tax refund associated with cessation of pari-mutuel operations
  • Partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease at Fair Grounds from a decline in revenue and higher variable expenses
CASINOSThird Quarter
(in millions):2016 2015
    
Net revenue$83.0  $82.7 
Adjusted EBITDA30.4  26.7 

Net revenue increased $0.3 million driven by:

  • $2.1 million increase in Oxford revenue resulting from increased visitation and refined successful marketing programs which drove improved market share
  • $0.5 million increase in Calder revenue due to successful marketing and promotional activities
  • Partially offset by:
    • $1.4 million decline at Riverwalk due to escalating promotional offers from competitors in the local market
    • $0.7 million decrease at Fair Grounds resulting from a parish-wide smoking ban, an increase in marketing promotions from competitors and a depressed Gulf Coast oil and gas industry which drove a local market decline

Adjusted EBITDA grew $3.7 million primarily driven by:

  • $1.8 million increase in Saratoga Casino Holdings management fee and equity income
  • $1.1 million increase at Oxford from increased visitation and successful promotional activities
  • $0.9 million increase in Miami Valley Gaming equity income driven by strong marketing programs
  • $0.9 million decrease in corporate allocated expense
  • Partially offset by declines of $0.6 and $0.5 million at our Mississippi and Louisiana properties, respectively, due to competitive marketing spending, a depressed regional oil and gas industry and an Orleans Parish smoking ban in Louisiana
TWINSPIRESThird Quarter
(in millions):2016 2015
    
Net revenue$55.1  $50.7 
Adjusted EBITDA14.3  13.1 

Net revenue increased $4.4 million, or 9%, primarily due to an 8% increase in active players.  TwinSpires handle grew 14.3%, outpacing the U.S. thoroughbred industry performance by 13.5 percentage points.

Adjusted EBITDA grew $1.2 million primarily driven by the favorable impact of increased wagering, net of content costs, from handle growth and an increase in active players.

BIG FISH GAMESThird Quarter

Social casino$44.2  $47.5

(a- Bookings is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to the revenue recognized plus the change in deferred revenue for the periods presented.  This non-GAAP measure may differ from other companies’ definition of this measure, and it should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, any other measure provided in accordance with GAAP.

Total bookings grew $4.0 million, or 3%, as our casual and mid-core free-to-play division continued to show strong growth more than offsetting the declines in the social casino and premium divisions.

  • Social casino bookings declined by $3.3 million compared to the third quarter of 2015 reflecting an 8% increase in average paying users and a 14% decline in average bookings per paying user
  • Casual and mid-core free-to-play bookings’ growth of $11.5 million was driven by a 23% increase in average paying users and a 5% increase in average bookings per paying user.
  • Premium bookings declined $4.2 million, or 16%, primarily driven by customers continuing to shift from paid PC games to free-to-play mobile games.

Net revenue increased $18.7 million, driven primarily by:

  • $23.5 million increase in casual and mid-core free-to-play revenue
  • The fair value adjustment to Big Fish Games deferred revenue assumed as part of the acquisition was $1.9 million lower than the prior year quarter
  • Partially offsetting these increases were a $3.6 million decline in premium games revenue and a $3.1 million decrease in social casino revenue driven by a decrease in bookings

Adjusted EBITDA decreased $9.8 million, driven primarily by:

  • $4.4 million increase in user acquisition spending
  • $5.5 million increase in platform fees on higher bookings
  • $2.2 million increase in developer fees
  • $1.6 million benefit associated with business combination accounting rules that was higher in the prior year than the third quarter of 2016
  • Partially offsetting these decreases were $4.0 million of increased bookings

Annual Dividend

In October 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved an annual cash dividend of $1.32 per outstanding share, a 15% increase over prior year, on CDI’s Common stock, payable January 6, 2017, to shareholders of record on December 2, 2016.  This year’s dividend announcement represents the sixth consecutive year of increased dividends.

Non-GAAP Measures

Adjusted EBITDA includes:

  • Changes in Big Fish Games deferred revenue;
  • 50% of EBITDA of our joint venture, MVG;
  • 25% of EBITDA of our SCH equity investment; and
  • Intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

  • Big Fish Games adjustments which include:
    • Acquisition-related charges, including the change in fair value of the Big Fish Games earnout and deferred consideration liability recorded each reporting period
  • Stock-based compensation expense;
  • Calder exit costs; and
  • Other charges and recoveries

The Company uses Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of the results of operations for purposes of evaluating performance internally. The Company believes the use of this measure enables management and investors to evaluate and compare, from period to period, the Company’s 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 GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our operating results.
