**2. RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS**

***Recent Accounting Pronouncements - Effective in 2026 or thereafter***

In October 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-06, Disclosure Improvements: Codification Amendments in Response to the Securities and Exchange Commission's ("SEC") Disclosure Update and Simplification Initiative, to amend certain disclosure and presentation requirements for a variety of topics within FASB's Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). These amendments align the requirements in the ASC regarding the removal of certain disclosure requirements set out in Regulation S-X and Regulation S-K, announced by the SEC. The effective date for each amended topic in the ASC is either the date on which the SEC's removal of the related disclosure requirement from Regulation S-X or Regulation S-K becomes effective, or on June 30, 2027, if the SEC has not removed the requirements by that date. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In November 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. Under ASU 2024-03, a public entity would be required to disclose information about purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, intangible asset amortization, and depletion for each income statement line item that contains those expenses. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets (Topic 326). The update permits entities to elect a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current trade receivables and current contract assets by assuming that conditions existing at the balance sheet date will remain unchanged over the life of those assets. The updated standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which modernizes the accounting for internal-use software. The update removes all references to software development stages and requires capitalization of software costs when management has committed to the software project and it is probable the software will be completed and perform its intended use. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting

periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements, which clarifies certain interim reporting guidance. The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this standard on the consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

**3. ACQUISITIONS** 

***Casino Salem***

On August 27, 2025, the Company completed its acquisition of 90% of the outstanding equity interests of Casino Salem (the "Salem Transaction") for a base purchase price of $180 million, and the transaction was treated as an asset acquisition because substantially all the value of the gross assets acquired was concentrated in the gaming rights. In conjunction with the acquisition, the Company recorded a $197 million indefinite-lived gaming rights intangible, which represented the fair value of the gaming rights at the date of acquisition.

The fair value of the gaming rights acquired in the transaction was determined using the Greenfield Method, which is an income approach methodology that calculates the present value of the gaming rights intangible asset based on a projected cash flow stream. This method assumes that the gaming rights intangible asset provides the opportunity to develop a gaming facility in a specified region, and that the present value of the projected cash flows is a result of the realization of advantages contained in these rights. Under this methodology, the acquirer is expected to absorb all start-up costs, as well as incur all expenses pertaining to the acquisition and/or the creation of all tangible and intangible assets. The estimated future revenue, future operating expenses, start-up costs, and discount rate were the primary inputs in the valuation. The gaming rights intangible asset was assigned an indefinite useful life based on the Company's expected use of the asset and determination that no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic, or other factors limit the useful life of the gaming rights.

**4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS**

Goodwill was $900 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.

Other intangible assets are comprised of the following:

| &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Total |  |  | $2516 |  |  | $2515 |

---

The Company is continuing to monitor the current economic conditions and the impacts on the results of operations of Presque Isle Downs and Casino ("Presque Isle") due to historical impairments recorded in prior periods related to the gaming rights and trademark. Future economic conditions could have a negative impact on the estimates and assumptions utilized in our asset impairment assessments. These potential impacts could increase the risk of a future impairment of assets at Presque Isle.

**5. INCOME TAXES**

The Company's effective income tax rate of 26.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2026 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from the impact of state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.

The Company's effective income tax rate of 19.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was lower than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from a $6 million benefit from the remeasurement of deferred income tax liabilities, as a result of certain entity classification elections that were made in the first quarter of 2025 that decreased income attributable to states with higher tax rates compared to prior year, partially offset by the impact of state income taxes and non-deductible expenses.

**6. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY**

***Stock Repurchase Programs***

On July 22, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500 million (the "July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program"). The July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to the $169 million previously remaining under the March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program. Share repurchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time in the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We had approximately $430 million of repurchase authority remaining under the July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program at March 31, 2026, based on trade date.

On March 12, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a new common stock repurchase program of up to $500 million (the "March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program"). The March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program included and was not in addition to any unspent amount remaining under the prior authorizations from the 2021 Stock Repurchase Program. As described above, the March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program has since been replaced by the July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, we repurchased the following shares under our stock repurchase programs:

**7. STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS** 

On February 18, 2025, our Board of Directors approved the replacement of the Churchill Downs Incorporated 2016 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the "2016 Plan") with a new plan, the Churchill Downs Incorporated 2025 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the "2025 Plan"). The 2025 Plan was approved by shareholders at the Company's 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 22, 2025. We have stock-based employee compensation plans with awards outstanding under the 2016 Plan, the 2025 Plan and the Executive Long-Term Incentive Compensation Plan, which was adopted pursuant to the 2016 Plan. No further awards will be granted under the 2016 Plan. Our total stock-based compensation expense, which includes expenses related to restricted stock awards ("RSAs"), restricted stock unit awards ("RSUs"), performance share unit awards ("PSUs"), and stock options associated with our employee stock purchase plan was $5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and $4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025. At March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company had $11 million and $21 million, respectively, recorded as liability-classified awards, which are included in accrued expense and other liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company awarded RSUs to employees, as well as RSUs and PSUs to certain named executive officers ("NEOs"). The vesting criteria for the PSU awards granted in 2026 were based on a three-year service period with two performance conditions and a market condition related to relative total shareholder return ("TSR") consistent with prior year grants. The total compensation cost we will recognize under the PSUs is determined using the Monte Carlo valuation methodology, which factors in the value of the TSR market condition when determining the grant date fair value of the PSU. Compensation cost for each PSU is recognized during the performance and service period based on the probable achievement of the two performance criteria. The PSUs can be converted into shares of our common stock at the time the PSU award value is finalized.

***Credit Agreement***

At March 31, 2026, the Company's senior secured credit facility (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") consisted of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), $285 million senior secured term loan B-1 (the "Term Loan B-1"), $1.1 billion senior secured term loan A (the "Term Loan A"), and $100 million swing line commitment. On July 3, 2024, the Company closed an amendment of the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date of the Revolver and Term Loan A from 2027 to 2029 subject to an earlier "springing maturity" if certain indebtedness in respect of outstanding notes or other material indebtedness having a maturity date prior to July 3, 2029, is not refinanced or extended to a date after July 3, 2029, at least 91 days prior to such other debt's stated maturity date, and (ii) amend certain other provisions of the Credit Agreement.

On February 14, 2025, the Company announced that it closed the seventh amendment of the Credit Agreement. The seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement (i) reduced the interest rate margin applicable to the Term Loan B-1 by 0.25% from Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 200 basis points to SOFR plus 175 basis points, (ii) eliminated the 0.10% credit spread adjustment previously applicable to the Term Loan B-1, and (iii) made certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement.

The Term Loan B-1 requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $300 million balance and may be subject to additional mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow on an annual basis per the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

The Revolver and Term Loan A bear interest at SOFR plus 10 basis points, plus a variable applicable margin which is determined by the Company's net leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2026, that applicable margin was 150 basis points, which was based on the pricing grid in the Credit Agreement. The Company had $722 million available borrowing capacity under the Revolver, after consideration of $8 million in outstanding letters of credit, as of March 31, 2026.

The Company is required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of the Revolver, as determined by a pricing grid based on the consolidated total net secured leverage ratio of the Company. For the period ended March 31, 2026, the Company's commitment fee rate was 0.25%.

The Company may redeem some or all of the 2031 Senior Notes at redemption prices set forth in the 2031 Indenture.

The Company is exploring options to fund upcoming senior note maturities through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, available capacity under its revolving credit facility, and raising funds via debt markets. Our ability to raise debt and the terms under which we would fund the obligations are subject to our ability to access the debt markets and other economic conditions.

**9. REVENUE FROM CONTRACTS WITH CUSTOMERS**

***Performance Obligations***

As of March 31, 2026, our Live and Historical Racing segment had remaining performance obligations on contracts with a duration greater than one year relating to television rights, sponsorships, personal seat licenses, and admissions, with an aggregate transaction price of $270 million. The revenue we expect to recognize on these remaining performance obligations is $80 million for the remainder of 2026, $62 million in 2027, $38 million in 2028, and the remainder thereafter.

As of March 31, 2026, our remaining performance obligations on contracts with a duration greater than one year in segments other than Live and Historical Racing were not material.

***Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities***

As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, contract assets were not material.

Contract liabilities primarily relate to the Live and Historical Racing segment and the increase was primarily due to deferred revenue related to the 152nd Kentucky Derby. We recognized $6 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2026, which was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2025. We recognized $6 million of revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2025, which was included in the contract liabilities balance at December 31, 2024.

***Disaggregation of Revenue***

The Company has included its disaggregated revenue disclosures as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• For the Live and Historical Racing segment, revenue is disaggregated between Churchill Downs Racetrack and historical racing properties given that Churchill Downs Racetrack revenue primarily revolves around live racing events, while our other Live and Historical Racing properties' revenues primarily revolve around historical racing. This segment is also disaggregated by location given the geographic economic factors that affect the revenue of service offerings. Within the Live and Historical Racing segment, revenue is further disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, historical racing, racing event-related services, gaming, and other services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the Wagering Services and Solutions segment, revenue is disaggregated between live and simulcast racing, gaming, and other services.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;•&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;For the Gaming segment, revenue is disaggregated by location given the geographic economic factors that affect the revenue of Gaming service offerings.

**11. REDEEMABLE NONCONTROLLING INTEREST**

In April 2024, the Company closed on the sale of 49% of United Tote, a wholly owned subsidiary of CDI, to NYRA. NYRA's interest includes certain embedded redemption features, such as a put right, that are not exclusively within the Company's control. NYRA's interest is treated as redeemable noncontrolling interest and is presented outside of permanent equity on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In August 2025, the Company closed on the purchase of 90% of Casino Salem, a joint venture with SL Salem, LLC and JPF Casino Enterprises, LLC (collectively, the "Casino Salem Minority Interest Holders"). The Casino Salem Minority Interest Holders' interests include certain embedded redemption features, such as put rights, that are not exclusively within the Company's control. The Casino Salem Minority Interest Holders' interests are treated as redeemable noncontrolling interest and are not included in the permanent equity on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The redeemable noncontrolling interest is initially accounted for at fair value and subsequently adjusted to the greater of the redemption value or the carrying value. Redeemable noncontrolling interest adjustments of carrying value to redemption value are reflected in retained earnings and are also included as an adjustment to income available to the Company's shareholders in the calculation of earnings per share (See Note 15, Net Income Per Common Share Computations). The table below depicts changes in the Company's redeemable noncontrolling interest balance.

**12. INVESTMENTS IN AND ADVANCES TO UNCONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES** 

Investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025 primarily consisted of interests in Rivers Casino Des Plaines ("Rivers Des Plaines") and Miami Valley Gaming and Racing ("MVG").

***Rivers Casino Des Plaines***

The ownership of Rivers Des Plaines is comprised of the following: (1) the Company owns 61.3%, (2) High Plaines Gaming, LLC ("High Plaines"), an affiliate of Rush Street Gaming, LLC, owns 36.0%, and (3) Casino Investors, LLC owns 2.7%. Both the Company and High Plaines have participating rights over Rivers Des Plaines, and both must consent to certain operating, investing and financing decisions. As a result, we account for Rivers Des Plaines using the equity method. As of March 31, 2026, the net aggregate basis difference between the Company's investment in Rivers Des Plaines and the amounts of the underlying equity in net assets was $833 million.

Our investment in Rivers Des Plaines was $573 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company received distributions from Rivers Des Plaines of $25 million and $21 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

***Miami Valley Gaming and Racing***

The Company owns a 50% interest in MVG and Delaware North Companies Gaming & Entertainment Inc. ("DNC") owns the remaining 50% interest in MVG. Since both the Company and DNC have participating rights over MVG, and both must consent to certain operating, investing, and financing decisions, we account for MVG using the equity method.

Our investment in MVG was $112 million as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. The Company received distributions from MVG of $11 million and $10 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

**13. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES**

We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate.

***Restricted Cash***

Our restricted cash accounts held in money market and interest-bearing accounts qualify for Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which includes unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets.

***Debt***

The fair value of the Company's 2031 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes, and 2027 Senior Notes are estimated based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active and as such are Level 2 measurements. The fair values of the Company's Term Loan B-1, Term Loan A, and Revolver under the Credit Agreement approximate the gross carrying value of the variable rate debt and as such are Level 2 measurements.

**14. CONTINGENCIES**

We are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of conducting business. We carry insurance for workers' compensation claims from our employees and general liability for claims from independent contractors, customers, and guests. We are self-insured up to an aggregate stop loss for our general liability and workers' compensation coverages.

We review all litigation on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. For certain legal proceedings, we cannot reasonably estimate losses or a range of loss, if any, particularly for proceedings that are in the early stages of development or where the plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. Various factors, including but not limited to, the outcome of potentially lengthy discovery and the resolution of important factual questions, may need to be determined before probability can be established or before a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In accordance with current accounting standards for loss contingencies and based upon information currently known to us, we establish reserves for litigation when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. When no amount within the range of loss is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the minimum amount of the estimable loss. To the extent that such litigation against us may have an exposure to a loss in excess of the amount we have accrued, we believe that such excess would not be material to our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

If the loss contingency in question is not both probable and reasonably estimable, we do not establish an accrual and the matter will continue to be monitored for any developments that would make the loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. In the event that a legal proceeding results in a substantial judgment against us, or settlement by us, there can be no assurance that any resulting liability or financial commitment would not have a material adverse impact on our business.

**16. SEGMENT INFORMATION**

We manage our operations through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, Wagering Services and Solutions, and Gaming. Our operating segments reflect the internal management reporting used by our chief operating decision maker, our Chief Executive Officer, to evaluate results of operations and to assess performance and allocate resources.

Eliminations include the elimination of intersegment transactions. We utilize non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy, and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA includes the following adjustments, as applicable in each period:

Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments and the portion of EBITDA attributable to a noncontrolling interest.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Transaction expense, net which includes:

–Acquisition, disposition, and property sale related charges;

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. For segment reporting, Adjusted EBITDA includes intercompany revenue and expense totals that are eliminated in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

The tables below present net revenue from external customers, Adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles comprehensive income to Adjusted EBITDA:

Net revenue by segment is comprised of the following:

**ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS** 

This report contains various "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the "Act"), which provides certain "safe harbor" provisions for forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this report are made pursuant to the Act. The reader is cautioned that such forward-looking statements are based on information available at the time and / or management's good faith belief with respect to future events and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual performance or results to differ materially from those expressed in the statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date that the statement was made. We assume no obligation to update forward-looking information to reflect actual results, changes in assumptions or changes in other factors affecting forward-looking information. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by the use of terms such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "estimate," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "predict," "project," "seek," "should," "will," "scheduled", and similar words or similar expressions (or negative versions of such words or expressions), although some forward-looking statements are expressed differently.

Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that such expectations will prove to be correct. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from expectations include the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the occurrence of extraordinary events, such as terrorist attacks, public health threats, civil unrest, and inclement weather, including as a result of climate change;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• the effect of economic conditions on our consumers' confidence and discretionary spending or our access to credit, including the impact of inflation;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• changes in, or new interpretations of, applicable tax laws or rulings that could result in additional tax liabilities;

**Our Business**

Churchill Downs Incorporated ("CDI" or the "Company") has been creating extraordinary entertainment experiences for over 150 years, beginning with the Company's most iconic and enduring asset, the Kentucky Derby. Headquartered in Louisville, Kentucky, CDI has expanded through the development of live and historical racing entertainment venues, the growth of the horse racing online wagering business, expanded pari-mutuel content and technology services to B2C platforms, and the operation and development of regional casino gaming properties.

We conduct our business through three reportable segments: Live and Historical Racing, Wagering Services and Solutions, and Gaming. We aggregate our other businesses as well as certain corporate operations in All Other.

**Key Indicators to Evaluate Business Results and Financial Condition**

Our management monitors a variety of key indicators to evaluate our business results and financial condition. These indicators include changes in net revenue, operating expense, operating income, earnings per share, outstanding debt balance, operating cash flow, and capital spend.

Our consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). We also use non-GAAP measures, including EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization) and Adjusted EBITDA. We believe that the use of Adjusted EBITDA as a key performance measure of results of operations enables management and investors to evaluate and compare from period to period our operating performance in a meaningful and consistent manner. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy, and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is a supplemental measure of our performance that is not required by, or presented in accordance with, GAAP. Adjusted EBITDA 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.

Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following:

Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of EBITDA from our equity investments and the portion of EBITDA attributable to noncontrolling interests.

Adjusted EBITDA excludes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Transaction expense, net which includes:

–Acquisition, disposition, and property sale related charges; and

–Other transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Stock-based compensation expense;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Rivers Des Plaines' impact on our investments in unconsolidated affiliates from legal reserves and transaction costs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Asset impairments, net;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gain on property sales;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Legal reserves;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Pre-opening expense; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• 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 Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA included in this section for additional information.

**Governmental Regulations and Legislative Changes**

We are subject to various federal, state, and international laws and regulations that affect our businesses. The ownership, operation, and management of our Live and Historical Racing, Wagering Services and Solutions, and Gaming segments, as well as our other operations, are subject to regulation under the laws and regulations of each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. The ownership, operation, and management of our businesses and properties are also subject to legislative actions at both the federal and state level. The following update on our regulatory and legislative actions should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, including Part I - Item 1, "Business" for a discussion of regulatory and legislative changes.

***Specific State Gaming Regulations***

*Louisiana* 

In Louisiana, the 2021 Historical Horse Racing Act (the "2021 HHR Act") allows off-track betting facilities ("OTBs") to have up to 50 HRMs in each OTB. The Company installed approximately 500 HRMs across our 13 OTBs after the 2021 HHR Act was approved. On October 25, 2022, a number of individual plaintiffs associated with video poker and truck stops, filed a lawsuit in the 19th Judicial District Court in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana against certain racetracks in Louisiana, including our Fair Grounds Race Course and Slots business, alleging that the 2021 HHR Act was unconstitutional to the extent it purports to permit historical racing in a parish without a referendum.

On February 23, 2024, the judge issued a ruling in favor of plaintiffs granting summary judgment stating that: (i) historical horseracing is a new form of gaming not specifically authorized by law prior to 1996; (ii) historical horseracing may not be conducted in any parish of the state unless voters approve it through referendum; and (iii) the 2021 HHR Act that authorized historical horseracing is unconstitutional. The Louisiana Supreme Court opinion affirming the ruling of the District Court became final and enforceable May 8, 2025. The Company discontinued its HRM operations in Louisiana on May 8, 2025 and moved the HRMs in the Louisiana OTBs to other HRM venues, primarily located in Virginia. The reduction in revenues resulting from the removal of the HRMs from our OTBs in Louisiana has negatively impacted the comparability of the 2026 Louisiana results to the prior year. The results of the HRMs in Louisiana operations were reported in our Gaming segment.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Net revenue increased $20 million driven by a $24 million increase from the Live and Historical Racing segment primarily due to continued growth at our HRM venues and a $2 million increase from Wagering Services and Solutions, partially offset by a $6 million decrease from the Gaming segment primarily driven by the cessation of HRM operations in Louisiana in May 2025.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Operating income increased $8 million driven by a $15 million increase from the Live and Historical Racing segment and a $1 million increase in the Wagering Services and Solutions segment.

Excluding these items, net income increased $5 million primarily due to a $3 million after-tax increase from the results of our operations, and a $2 million after-tax increase in equity income from our unconsolidated affiliates.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Adjusted EBITDA increased $12 million driven by a $11 million increase from the Live and Historical Racing segment and a $4 million increase from the Wagering Services and Solutions segment.

The Kentucky HRM increase was due to a $6 million increase from our Western Kentucky venues, a $4 million increase from our Northern Kentucky venues, a $4 million increase from our Southwestern Kentucky venues, and a $3 million increase from our Louisville venues. The Virginia HRM increase was primarily due to a $5 million net increase from our Northern Virginia venues and a $1 million increase from our Western Virginia venue, partially offset by a $1 million net decrease from our Central Virginia venues primarily from increased competition and unfavorable weather.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wagering Services and Solutions revenue increased $2 million primarily from our retail sports betting business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gaming revenue decreased $5 million due to a $9 million decrease primarily from the cessation of HRM operations in Louisiana in May 2025 and a $2 million decrease primarily from our Florida and Mississippi properties. These decreases were partially offset by a $6 million increase primarily from our New York, Indiana, and Maryland properties.

The Kentucky HRM increase was due to a $3 million increase from our Western Kentucky venues, a $3 million increase from our Northern Kentucky venues, and a $3 million increase from our Louisville venues. The Virginia HRM increase was primarily due to a $7 million net increase from our Northern Virginia venues, partially offset by a $4 million net decrease from our Central Virginia venues primarily from increased competition and unfavorable weather.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Wagering Services and Solutions Adjusted EBITDA increased $4 million primarily from lower legal expenses in our Horse Racing business and growth in our retail sports betting business.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Gaming Adjusted EBITDA decreased $1 million. Our wholly-owned gaming properties decreased $3 million primarily from the cessation of HRMs in Louisiana in May 2025 that was partially offset by an increase from our New York property. Our equity investments increased $2 million from strong performance at Rivers Des Plaines in Illinois and Miami Valley Gaming in Ohio.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• All Other Adjusted EBITDA decreased $2 million primarily due to claim development within our captive insurance company.

Significant items affecting the comparability of our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total assets remained consistent for the comparable periods.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Total liabilities decreased $88 million driven primarily by paydowns of the Revolver and payment of the annual dividend, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue related to advance ticket sales and sponsorships for the Kentucky Oaks and Derby.

***Three Months Ended March 31, 2026, Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025***

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash flows provided by operating activities increased $48 million driven primarily by a decrease in cash used for working capital and an increase in net income and deferred taxes. We anticipate that cash flows from operations and availability of borrowings under our credit facility over the next twelve months will be adequate to fund our business operations and capital expenditures.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Cash flows used in investing activities decreased $19 million primarily driven by decreased capital expenditures in 2026.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;***•*** Cash flows used in financing activities increased $84 million primarily driven by an increase in paydowns of the Revolver offset by the reduction of share repurchases in 2026.

We have announced several project capital investments, including the following: Finish Line Suites, The Mansion, and Victory Run at Churchill Downs Racetrack, and plans to redevelop Casino Salem into Rockingham Grand Casino in New Hampshire. We currently expect our project capital to be approximately $180 to $220 million in 2026, although this amount may vary significantly based on the timing of work completed, unanticipated delays, and timing of payments to third parties.

***Common Stock Repurchase Program***

On July 22, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500 million (the "July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program"). The July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program includes and is not in addition to the $169 million previously remaining under the prior March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program. Share repurchases may be made at management's discretion from time to time in the open market (either with or without a 10b5-1 plan) or through privately negotiated transactions. The repurchase program has no time limit and may be suspended or discontinued at any time. We had approximately $430 million of repurchase authority remaining under the July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program at March 31, 2026, based on trade date.

On March 12, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a common stock repurchase program of up to $500 million (the "March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program"). The March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program included and was not in addition to any unspent amount remaining under the prior authorization. As described above, the March 2025 Stock Repurchase Program has since been replaced by the July 2025 Stock Repurchase Program.

***Credit Agreement***

At March 31, 2026, the Company's senior secured credit facility (as amended from time to time, the "Credit Agreement") consisted of a $1.2 billion revolving credit facility (the "Revolver"), $285 million senior secured term loan B-1 (the "Term Loan B-1"), $1.1 billion senior secured term loan A (the "Term Loan A"), and $100 million swing line commitment. On July 3, 2024, the Company closed an amendment of the Credit Agreement to (i) extend the maturity date of the Revolver and Term Loan A from 2027 to 2029 and (ii) amend certain other provisions to the Credit Agreement.

FORM 10-Q FOR THE QUARTERLY PERIOD ENDED MARCH 31, 2026 <br> 32

------

On February 14, 2025, the Company announced that it closed the seventh amendment of the Credit Agreement. The seventh amendment to the Credit Agreement (i) reduced the interest rate margin applicable to the Term Loan B-1 by 0.25%, from Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus 200 basis points to SOFR plus 175 basis points, (ii) eliminated the 0.10% credit spread adjustment previously applicable to the Term Loan B-1, and (iii) made certain other amendments to the Credit Agreement, as set forth therein.

Term Loan B-1 requires quarterly payments of 0.25% of the original $300 million balance. The Term Loan B-1 may be subject to additional mandatory prepayment from excess cash flow on an annual basis per the provisions of the Credit Agreement.

The Revolver and Term Loan A bear interest at SOFR plus 10 basis points, plus a variable applicable margin which is determined by the Company's net leverage ratio. As of March 31, 2026, that applicable margin was 150 basis points, which was based on the pricing grid in the Credit Agreement.

------

The Company is exploring options to fund upcoming senior note maturities through a combination of cash on hand, cash generated from operations, available capacity under its revolving credit facility, and raising funds via debt markets. Our ability to raise debt and the terms under which we would fund the obligations are subject to our ability to access the debt markets and other economic conditions.

**ITEM 3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK** 

We are exposed to market risks arising from adverse changes in:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• general economic trends; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• interest rate and credit risk.

***General economic trends***

Our business is sensitive to consumer confidence and reductions in consumers' discretionary spending, which may result from challenging economic conditions, interest rate fluctuations, unemployment levels and other changes in the economy. Demand for entertainment and leisure activities is sensitive to consumers' disposable incomes, which can be adversely affected by economic conditions and unemployment levels. This could result in fewer patrons visiting our racetracks, HRM entertainment venues, online wagering sites, and gaming facilities, and/or may impact our customers' ability to wager with the same frequency and to maintain wagering levels.

***Interest rate and credit risk***

Our primary exposure to market risk relates to changes in interest rates. On March 31, 2026, we had $1.9 billion outstanding under our Credit Agreement, which bears interest at SOFR based variable rates. We are exposed to market risk on variable rate debt due to potential adverse changes in these rates. Assuming the outstanding balance of the debt facility remains constant, a one-percentage point increase in the SOFR rate would reduce net income and cash flows from operating activities by $14 million.

**ITEM 4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES** 

***Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures***

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

As required by the Securities and Exchange Commission Rule 13a-15(e), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2026. Based upon the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

***Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting***

During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed the implementation of a new financial reporting system. In connection with the implementation, the Company modified and enhanced our controls and reporting capabilities. Management believes the controls are appropriately designed and will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of its information technology and overall controls. There have been no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Act, during the period covered by this report that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

## Exhibit 10.01

![](a1001churchilldownsincor001.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4908-0241-7277v.3 CHURCHILL DOWNS INCORPORATED PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT THIS PERFORMANCE SHARE UNIT AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made as of the ___ day of _________ 20__ by and between __________ (the "Executive"), and Churchill Downs Incorporated (the "Company"), a Kentucky corporation with its principal place of business at 600 N. Hurstbourne Parkway, Louisville, Kentucky 40222. Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Churchill Downs Incorporated 2025 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the granting of performance share units ("PSUs") with respect to shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof and the Executive is a person eligible for participation under the Plan; WHEREAS, the Committee authorized and directed the Company to make an award of PSUs to the Executive under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions of such award. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual undertakings herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the mutuality, receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Grant of Performance Share Units. Subject to the further terms, conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement, the Company hereby grants to the Executive -________ PSUs (at target) which are equal to an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, in consideration for services to be performed by the Executive as an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries. As long as the PSUs are subject to the Restrictions set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, such PSUs shall be deemed to be, and are referred to in this Agreement as, the "Performance Share Units." [The number of PSUs ultimately earned by the Executive and for which the Restrictions shall lapse will depend upon the Company's performance on [INSERT PERFORMANCE CRITERIA], over the PSU performance period, [INSERT PERFORMANCE PERIOD] (the "Performance Period").] The actual number of PSUs earned by the Executive and for which, the Restrictions shall lapse will be determined at the first meeting of the Committee following the completion of the Performance Period, at which time the Committee will certify whether the performance criteria have been satisfied and will review and approve the Company's calculation of the Company's performance on the specified performance criteria. The total number of PSUs to be settled in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(a) will vary between 0- 200% of the target PSUs depending on where in the specified performance range for each measure the Company's performance during the Performance Period on the measures falls. There will be a minimum level below which the Executive will receive 0% of the target PSUs, and correspondingly a maximum performance level which, even if exceeded, will not generate more

------

![](a1001churchilldownsincor002.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 2 - than 200% of the target PSUs. Each performance measure will be measured separately and failure to achieve one measure will not impact the ability to achieve the other performance measure. 2. Adjustments in Performance Share Units. Subject first to the application of the provisions of Section 5(d), in the event Company merges, consolidates or effects a share exchange with another entity, or all or a substantial portion of Company's assets or outstanding capital stock are acquired (whether by merger, purchase or otherwise) by another entity (any such entity being hereafter referred to as the "Successor") each of the Performance Share Units (or, as applicable a result of the application of Section 5(d), each of the Restricted Share Units) shall automatically be converted into and replaced by Performance Share Units (or, as applicable as a result of the application of Section 5(d), Restricted Share Units) representing shares of Common Stock, or such other class of securities having rights and preferences no less favorable than the Performance Share Units (or, as applicable as a result of the application of Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units), of the Successor, and the number of Performance Share Units (or, as applicable a result of the application of Section 5(d), Restricted Share Units) shall be correspondingly adjusted, so that Executive shall have the right to that number of Performance Share Units (or, as applicable as a result of the application of Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units) representing shares of Common Stock of the Successor that have a value equal, as of the date of the merger, conversion or acquisition, to the value, as of the date of the merger, conversion or acquisition, of the Performance Share Units (or, as applicable as a result of the application of Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units). 3. Restrictions. During applicable periods of restriction determined in accordance with Section 5 of this Agreement, the Performance Share Units, and all rights with respect to such Performance Share Units, may not be sold, assigned, transferred, exchanged, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise encumbered or disposed of (other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution or pursuant to beneficiary designation procedures approved by the Company) and shall be subject to the risk of forfeiture contained in Section 4 of this Agreement (such limitations on transferability and risk of forfeiture being herein referred to as the "Restrictions"). Upon any attempt to so sell, transfer, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise dispose of the Performance Share Units, the Performance Share Units and all rights hereunder shall immediately become null and void. 4. Forfeiture of Performance Share Units. Subject to Section 5 below, in the event that the Executive's employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries terminates for any reason, such event shall constitute an "Event of Forfeiture" and all PSUs which at that time are Performance Share Units shall thereupon be forfeited by the Executive to the Company without payment of any consideration by the Company, and neither the Executive nor any heir, personal representative, successor or assign of the Executive shall have any right, title or interest in or to such Performance Share Units. 5. Lapse of Restrictions. (a) The Restrictions on the respective Performance Share Units shall lapse per the schedules immediately below, provided, however, that (1) Executive remains an employee of the Company as of the last day of the Performance Period, but subject

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 3 - to Sections 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e) below, and (2) Executive complies with the covenants set forth in Section 6 below: Target Achievement (where X = percentage achievement of Target) Initial Percentage of Target PSUs for which Restrictions may lapse (the "Initial Percentage") X<85% 0% X=85% 50% 85%120% 200% The Initial Percentage of Target PSUs for which the Restrictions may lapse as set forth above shall then be modified as follows to determine the final percentage of PSUs for which the Restrictions shall lapse and that will be settled in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 5(b): [INSERT MODIFICATION CRITERIA] (b) Unless otherwise provided in Section 5(d), as soon as practicable following the end of the Performance Period (but no later than March 15th following the end of the Performance Period), the Company shall settle the Final Percentage of PSUs (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units) in shares of Common Stock and deliver to the Executive a certificate (or record as a book entry and deliver evidence of same to the Executive) (without any restrictive endorsement referring to such Restrictions) for such PSUs (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units) for which the Restrictions lapsed and which became non-forfeitable pursuant to Section 5 ; provided, however, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to settle the PSUs in cash, with the value of the cash payment determined based on the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of a share of Common Stock on the settlement date and, if the Company settles the PSUs in cash, the Executive shall have no further rights to shares of Common Stock with respect to the PSUs settled in cash. (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 5(d), in the event the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause (as defined in Appendix A), Disability (as defined in Appendix A) or death, or if the Executive voluntarily

------

![](a1001churchilldownsincor004.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 4 - resigns for Good Reason (as defined in Appendix A) or retires on or after attaining age 65 with the consent of the Company, then for purposes of determining any lapse of the Restrictions in (a) above and the forfeiture of Performance Share Units (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units), if any, under Section 4 and Section 5, and, provided the Executive complies with the covenants set forth in Section 6 (unless the provisions of Section 5(d) provide otherwise), the Executive shall be entitled to a pro rata percentage of the Final Percentage of PSUs determined under Section 5(a) (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units) based on the period of time elapsed between the commencement of the Performance Period and the Executive's date of Termination of Employment (as defined in Appendix A), with such pro rata percentage of PSUs (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units) to be settled in shares of Common Stock (or, if elected by the Company, cash) at the same time and in the same manner as set forth in Section 5(b). In the event of a Change in Control during the Performance Period, the Performance Share Units (or, as applicable, the pro rata percentage of PSUs determined pursuant to Section 5(c) or Section 5(e)) shall be converted into Restricted Share Units based on Company performance as of the date of the Change in Control and as calculated using actual results for completed quarters and TSR, as applicable, pursuant to the schedules set forth in Section 5(a). Upon conversion into Restricted Share Units, the Performance Share Units (or, as applicable the pro rata percentage of PSUs determined pursuant to Section 5(c) or Section 5(e)) shall cease to exist and shall thereafter be null and void. The Restricted Share Units that resulted from the conversion shall be subject to the same adjustment provision set forth in Section 2, the same Restrictions set forth in Section 3, the same forfeiture provisions set forth in Section 4 and the same withholding and recoupment requirements set forth in Section 7 that applied to the Performance Share Units prior to their conversion into Restricted Share Units pursuant to this Section 5(c). The Restrictions on the Restricted Share Units shall lapse on the last day of the Performance Period, provided, however, that such date occurs prior to a Termination of Employment, but subject to Sections 5(c), 5(d) and 5(e). (d) If, during the 24-month period following a Change in Control: (i) the Executive is terminated by the Company other than for Cause, Disability or death, or (ii) the Executive voluntarily resigns for Good Reason, all Restrictions on the respective Restrictive Stock Units that have not been previously forfeited under Section 4 as of the date of Termination of Employment shall lapse immediately as of the date of Termination of Employment and the Company shall within thirty (30) days thereafter settle the Restricted Share Units in shares of Common Stock (or, if elected by the Company, cash) and, if settled in Common Stock, deliver to the Executive a certificate (or record as a book entry and deliver evidence of same to the Executive) (without any restrictive endorsement referring to such Restrictions) for such Restricted Share Units for which the Restrictions lapsed and which became non-forfeitable pursuant to Section 5; provided, however, if the Change in Control is not a "change in control event" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code ("Section 409A"), then the Restricted Share Units shall vest in accordance with this

------

![](a1001churchilldownsincor005.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 5 - Section 5(d) but shall be settled as set forth in Section 5(b) to the extent required to comply with Section 409A. (e) In the event the Executive's employment is terminated due to death or Disability, the Executive (or, in the event of death, the Executive's estate) shall be entitled to a pro rata percentage of the Final Percentage of PSUs determined under Section 5(a) based on the period of time elapsed between the commencement of the Performance Period and the Executive's date of Termination of Employment due to death or Disability (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units), with such pro rata percentage of PSUs (or, as applicable pursuant to Section 5(d), the Restricted Share Units) to be settled in shares of Common Stock (or, if elected by the Company, cash) at the same time and in the same manner as set forth in Section 5(b), with settlement to be made to the Executive's estate in the event of the Executive's termination of employment due to death. 6. Covenants. (a) Confidentiality. Executive agrees that Executive will not at any time during Executive's employment with the Company or thereafter, except in performance of Executive's obligations to the Company hereunder, disclose, either directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) that Executive may learn by reason of his association with the Company. The term "Confidential Information" shall mean any past, present, or future confidential or secret plans, programs, documents, agreements, internal management reports, financial information, or other material relating to the business, strategies, services, or activities of the Company, including, without limitation, information with respect to the Company's operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, including leases, regulatory status, compensation paid to employees, or other terms of employment, and trade secrets, market reports, customer investigations, customer lists, and other similar information that is proprietary information of the Company; provided, however, the term "Confidential Information" shall not include any of the above forms of information which has become public knowledge, unless such Confidential Information became public knowledge due to any act or acts by Executive or his representative(s) in violation of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Executive may disclose such Confidential Information when required to do so by a court of competent jurisdiction, by any governmental agency having supervisory authority over the business of the Company and/or its affiliates, as the case may be, or by any administrative body or legislative body (including a committee thereof) with jurisdiction to order Executive to divulge, disclose or make accessible such information; provided, further, that in the event that Executive is ordered by any such court or other government agency, administrative body, or legislative body to disclose any Confidential Information, Executive shall (i) promptly notify the Company of such order, (ii) at the reasonable written request of the Company, diligently contest such order at the sole expense of the Company as expenses occur, and (iii) at the reasonable written request of the Company, seek to obtain, at the

Executive is hereby notified in accordance with the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016 that Executive will not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (1) is made (a) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (b) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (2) is made in a complaint or other document that is filed under seal in a lawsuit or other proceeding. Executive is further notified that if Executive files a lawsuit for retaliation by the Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Executive may disclose the Company's trade secrets to Executive's attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding if Executive: (1) files any document containing the trade secret under seal; and (2) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order. (b) Non-Solicit. During Executive's employment and for two (2) years immediately following a Termination of Employment for any reason, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, solicit or induce any then- existing employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to leave employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or contact any then-existing customer or vendor under contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of obtaining business similar to that engaged in, or received (as appropriate), by the Company, except that Executive shall not be precluded from (i) hiring any such employee who has been terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to commencement of employment discussions between the Executive or his/her subsequent employer and such employee, (ii) employing or contacting any such person who contacts Executive or his/her subsequent employer on his or her own initiative without any otherwise prohibited solicitation, or (iii) employing or contacting any person as a result of general solicitations not specifically directed at the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 7 - Company or that could be detrimental in any respect to the reputation or goodwill of the Company. (d) Cooperation. Executive agrees that during his employment or following a Termination of Employment for any reason, Executive shall, upon reasonable advance notice, assist and cooperate with the Company as is reasonable with regard to any investigation or litigation related to a matter or project in which Executive was involved during Executive's employment. The Company shall reimburse Executive for all reasonable and necessary expenses related to Executive's services under this Section 6(d) (i.e., travel, lodging, meals, telephone and overnight courier) within ten (10) business days of Executive submitting to the Company appropriate receipts and expense statements. 7.

Whenever Restrictions lapse with respect to Performance Share Units, the Company shall retain shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Executive (or if cash is delivered in lieu of shares, the cash payment made to the Executive) in an amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state or local withholding tax requirements prior to delivering any such shares of Common Stock (or making such payments) to the Executive, unless a different method of withholding or remittance is requested by the Executive. In addition, to the extent the Executive violates the Company's Corporate Governance Policy (which is incorporated herein by reference) or to the extent otherwise required under the Dodd-Frank Act or Company's Executive Incentive Compensation Recoupment Policy (which is incorporated herein by reference), the Executive shall be obligated to return to Company all shares of Common Stock (or cash payments) previously delivered to Executive hereunder (or in the event such shares subsequently were sold by the Executive, Executive shall disgorge to Company all value received in such sale(s)) and any obligation for the Company to deliver any future shares of Common Stock hereunder shall cease and shall be rendered null and void. 8. Effect Upon Employment.

No Rights to Shares and No Rights as a Shareholder. Under no circumstances shall this Agreement be deemed to give the Executive any right to receive any equity in the Company or any affiliate, including without limitation the Common Stock or any related rights, such as the right to vote or receive dividends. The Performance Share Units shall include a right to dividend equivalents equal to the value of any dividends paid on the Common Stock for which the dividend record date occurs between the Grant Date and the date the Performance Share Units are settled or forfeited. Subject to vesting, each dividend equivalent entitles the Executive to receive the equivalent cash value of any such dividends paid on the number of shares underlying the Performance Share Units that are outstanding during such period. Dividend equivalents will be accrued (without interest) and will be subject to the same conditions as the Performance Share Units to which they are attributable, including, without limitation, the vesting conditions and the provisions governing the time and form of settlement of the Performance Share Units. 13. Investment Representation. If the PSUs awarded to the Executive under this Agreement are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an effective registration statements, the Executive, if the Committee shall reasonably deem it advisable, may be required to represent and agree in writing (i) that any shares of Common Stock acquired by the Executive under this Agreement will not be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under such Act, and (ii) that the Executive has acquired such shares of Common Stock for his own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof. 14. Compliance with Applicable Law.

The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock before (i) the listing of such shares on any stock exchange or over-the-counter market, such as NASDAQ, on which the Common Stock may then be listed or traded, and (ii) the completion of any registration or qualification of any governmental body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to procure any such listing, registration or qualification. 15. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Agreement, and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be stricken to the extent necessary to preserve the validity and enforceability of the Agreement with the parties agreeing in such event to make all reasonable efforts to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that will place the parties in approximately the same economic position as contemplated hereunder. 16. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky. The Executive consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Commonwealth of Kentucky and of any federal court located in Jefferson County, Kentucky in connection with any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 9 - document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement, or any breach of this Agreement or any such document or instrument. 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 18. Agreement Subject to the Plan. This Agreement is subject to the provisions of the Plan, including Section 13 related to Capitalization Adjustments and Section 15 related to the Change in Control provisions, and shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. In the event that the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan conflict, the Plan shall control. The Executive hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. 19. Counterparts and Signatures. This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. Signatures conveyed by facsimile or PDF file shall constitute original signatures. 20. Code Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent. In the event the terms of this Agreement would subject Executive to taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code ("409A Penalties"), the Company and Executive shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of the Agreement to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible. To the extent the PSUs under this Agreement are payable by reference to Executive's "Termination of Employment" such term and similar terms shall be deemed to refer to Executive's "separation from service," within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent the PSUs constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A, then if Executive is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) as of the date of Executive's separation from service, if such PSUs are payable upon Executive's separation from service and would have been paid prior to the six-month anniversary of Executive's separation from service, then the payment of such PSUs shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (A) the first day of the seventh month following Executive's separation from service or (B) the date of Executive's death. In the event that Executive's employment is terminated due to Disability or Executive retires on or after attaining age 65 with the consent of the Company, in each case, within 24-months following a "change in control event" (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("Section 409A"), then the Executive shall be entitled to the pro rata vesting set forth in Section (c) or (f), as applicable, and the Restrictions on the pro rata Restricted Share Units that have not been previously forfeited under Section 4 as of the date of Termination of Employment shall lapse immediately as of the date of such Termination of Employment and the Company shall within thirty (30) days thereafter settle the Restricted Share Units in shares of Common Stock (or, if elected by the Company, cash) and, if settled in Common Stock, deliver to the Executive a certificate (or record as a book entry and deliver evidence of same to the Executive) (without any restrictive endorsement referring to such Restrictions) for such Restricted Share Units for which the Restrictions lapsed and which became non-forfeitable pursuant to Section 5, in each case, to the extent required to comply with Section 409A.

Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings specified in the Churchill Downs Incorporated 2025 Omnibus Stock and Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, the Plan provides for the granting of restricted share units ("RSUs") with respect to shares of the Company's common stock, no par value per share (the "Common Stock"), in accordance with the terms and provisions thereof and the Executive is a person eligible for participation under the Plan; WHEREAS, the Committee authorized and directed the Company to make an award of RSUs to the Executive under the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and WHEREAS, the parties desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions of such award. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual undertakings herein contained, and for other good and valuable consideration, the mutuality, receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows: 1. Grant of Restricted Share Units. Subject to the further terms, conditions and restrictions contained in this Agreement and the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Executive _______ RSUs, which are equal to an equivalent number of shares of Common Stock, in consideration for services to be performed by the Executive as an employee of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

(b) Non-Solicit. During Executive's employment and for two (2) years immediately following a Termination of Employment for any reason, Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, solicit or induce any then- existing employee of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to leave employment with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or contact any then-existing customer or vendor under contract with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries for the purpose of obtaining business similar to that engaged in, or received (as appropriate), by the Company, except that Executive shall not be precluded from (i) hiring any such employee who has been terminated by the Company or its Subsidiaries prior to commencement of employment discussions between the Executive or his/her subsequent employer and such employee, (ii) employing or contacting any such person who contacts Executive or his/her subsequent employer on his or her own initiative without any otherwise prohibited solicitation, or (iii) employing or contacting any person as a result of general solicitations not specifically directed at the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of its employees.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 5 - make any public or private statements (whether orally or in writing), other than true statements to the extent necessary to prosecute or defend any adversarial proceedings against the Company, that disparage, denigrate or malign the Company or that could be detrimental in any respect to the reputation or goodwill of the Company. (d) Cooperation. Executive agrees that during his employment or following a Termination of Employment for any reason, Executive shall, upon reasonable advance notice, assist and cooperate with the Company as is reasonable with regard to any investigation or litigation related to a matter or project in which Executive was involved during Executive's employment.

Withholding Requirements. Whenever Restrictions lapse with respect to RSUs, the Company shall retain shares of Common Stock otherwise deliverable to the Executive (or if cash is delivered in lieu of shares, the cash payment made to the Executive) in an amount sufficient to satisfy any Federal, state or local withholding tax requirements prior to delivering any such shares of Common Stock (or making such payments) to the Executive, unless a different method of withholding or remittance is requested by the Executive. 7. Effect Upon Employment. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall confer upon the Executive the right to continue in the employment of the Company or its Subsidiaries or affect any right that the Company or its Subsidiaries may have to terminate the employment of the Executive. 8. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented except with the consent of the Committee and by a written instrument duly executed by the Executive and the Company. 9.

------

![](a1002churchilldownsincor006.jpg)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 6 - right to vote or receive dividends. The Restricted Share Units shall include a right to dividend equivalents equal to the value of any dividends paid on the Common Stock for which the dividend record date occurs between the Grant Date and the date the Restricted Share Units are settled or forfeited. Subject to vesting, each dividend equivalent entitles the Executive to receive the equivalent cash value of any such dividends paid on the number of shares underlying the Restricted Share Units that are outstanding during such period. Dividend equivalents will be accrued (without interest) and will be subject to the same conditions as the Restricted Share Units to which they are attributable, including, without limitation, the vesting conditions and the provisions governing the time and form of settlement of the Restricted Share Units. 12. Investment Representation. If the shares of Common Stock acquired upon vesting of the Restricted Share Units under this Agreement are not registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to an effective registration statements, the Executive, if the Committee shall reasonably deem it advisable, may be required to represent and agree in writing (i) that any shares of Common Stock acquired by the Executive under this Agreement will not be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or pursuant to an exemption from registration under such Act, and (ii) that the Executive has acquired such shares of Common Stock for his own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof. 13. Compliance with Applicable Law. The rights of the Executive and the obligations of the Company under this Agreement shall be subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency as may be required. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver certificates for shares of Common Stock before (i) the listing of such shares on any stock exchange or over-the-counter market, such as NASDAQ, on which the Common Stock may then be listed or traded, and (ii) the completion of any registration or qualification of any governmental body which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determines to be necessary or advisable. The Company agrees to use its best efforts to procure any such listing, registration or qualification. 14. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions of the Agreement, and such invalid or unenforceable provision shall be stricken to the extent necessary to preserve the validity and enforceability of the Agreement with the parties agreeing in such event to make all reasonable efforts to replace such invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid provision that will place the parties in approximately the same economic position as contemplated hereunder. 15. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;- 7 - the provisions of this Agreement and the Plan conflict, the Plan shall control. The Executive hereby acknowledges receipt of a copy of the Plan. 17. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof. 18. Counterparts and Signatures.

Signatures conveyed by facsimile or PDF file shall constitute original signatures. 19. Code Section 409A. This Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Code, and shall be interpreted and construed consistently with such intent, and each payment hereunder shall be considered a separate payment. In the event the terms of this Agreement would subject Executive to taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code ("409A Penalties"), the Company and Executive shall cooperate diligently to amend the terms of the Agreement to avoid such 409A Penalties, to the extent possible. To the extent the RSUs under this Agreement are payable by reference to Executive's "Termination of Employment" such term and similar terms shall be deemed to refer to Executive's "separation from service," within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, to the extent the RSUs constitute nonqualified deferred compensation, within the meaning of Section 409A, then (i) if Executive is a "specified employee" (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) as of the date of Executive's separation from service and such RSUs are payable upon Executive's separation from service and would have been paid prior to the six-month anniversary of Executive's separation from service, then the payment of such RSUs shall be delayed until the earlier to occur of (A) the first day of the seventh month following Executive's separation from service or (B) the date of Executive's death and (ii) if the Change in Control is not a "change in control event" within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, then any RSUs that vest under Section 4(d) shall vest and be settled in accordance with the Vesting Dates set forth in Section 4(a) to the extent required to comply with Section 409A of the Code.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A-2 responsibilities of the position, or any other diminution in any material respect in such position, authority, duties or responsibilities unless agreed to by Executive; (ii) the sale or other disposition of a material portion of the business or assets of the Company which results in a material change to the Executive's position, authority, duties or responsibilities existing at the time this Agreement is executed (including status, office, title and reporting requirements); (iii) the Company's requiring Executive to be based at, or perform his principal functions at, any office or location other than a location within 35 miles of the Main Office unless such other location is closer to Executive's then-primary residence than the Main Office; (iv) a material reduction in Base Salary; (v) a material reduction in Executive's welfare benefits plans, qualified retirement plan, or paid time off benefit unless other senior executives suffer a comparable reduction; and (vi) any purported termination of Executive's employment under this Agreement by the Company other than for Cause, death or Disability.
