Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Basis Of Presentation | BASIS OF PRESENTATION The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with the requirements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and consequently do not include all of the disclosures normally required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America or those normally made in Churchill Downs Incorporated’s (the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K. The year-end Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Accordingly, the reader of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 for further information. The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the Company’s customary accounting practices and have not been audited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of this information have been made, and all such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. The Company’s revenues and earnings are influenced by its racing calendar. Therefore, revenues and operating results for any interim quarter are generally not indicative of the revenues and operating results for the year and may not be comparable with results for the corresponding period of the previous year. The Company historically has had fewer live racing days during the first quarter of each year, and the majority of its live racing revenue occurs during the second quarter, with the running of the Kentucky Derby and the Kentucky Oaks. The Company conducted 122 live racing days during the second quarter of 2012, which compares to 105 live racing days conducted during the second quarter of 2011. For the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company conducted 178 live racing days, which compares to 167 live racing days conducted during the six months ended June 30, 2011. Current Year Reclassification During the six months ended June 30, 2012, the Company merged the operations of Churchill Downs Simulcast Productions ("CDSP") , which was previously included in other investments, with its Racing Operations. Net revenues and operating expenses of CDSP for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. There was no impact from these reclassifications on net revenues, operating income, results of continuing operations, or cash flows. Customer Loyalty Programs The Company’s customer loyalty programs offer incentives to customers who wager at the Company’s racetracks, through its advance deposit wagering platform, TwinSpires.com, or at its gaming facilities. The TSC Elite program, which was introduced during the six months ended June 30, 2012 to replace the previous program, TwinSpires Club, is for pari-mutuel wagering at the Company’s racetracks or through TwinSpires.com. The Player’s Club is offered at the Company’s gaming facilities in Louisiana, Florida and Mississippi. As of June 30, 2012 and December 31, 2011, the outstanding reward point liabilities were $1.9 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Promotional Allowances Promotional allowances, which include the Company’s customer loyalty programs, primarily consist of the retail value of complimentary goods and services provided to guests at no charge. The retail value of these promotional allowances is included in gross revenue and then deducted to arrive at net revenue. During the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, promotional allowances of $9.3 million and $5.1 million, respectively, were included as a reduction to net revenues. During those periods, Online promotional allowances were $6.5 million and $2.8 million, Gaming promotional allowances were $2.5 million and $1.7 million, and Racing promotional allowances were $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The estimated cost of providing promotional allowances included in operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011, promotional allowances of $15.5 million and $10.3 million, respectively, were included as a reduction to net revenues. During those periods, Online promotional allowances were $10.0 million and $5.2 million, Gaming promotional allowances were $5.0 million and $4.1 million, and Racing promotional allowances were $0.5 million and $1.0 million, respectively. The estimated cost of providing promotional allowances included in operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2012 and 2011 totaled $2.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively. Comprehensive Income The Company had no other components of comprehensive income and, as such, comprehensive income is the same as net income as presented in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
