Churchill Downs Incorporated files its annual report describing a diversified business built around the Kentucky Derby, historical racing venues, online wagering, and regional casinos across multiple states. Operations span 10,190 historical racing machines and 14,335 slots and video lottery terminals, supported by about 9,000 team members as of December 31, 2025.
The company continues heavy capital investment at Churchill Downs Racetrack and new HRM properties, including the Rockingham Grand Casino project in New Hampshire with an expected $180–$200 million spend. A Louisiana Supreme Court decision declared the state’s 2021 historical horse racing law unconstitutional, forcing discontinuation of HRM operations there and reducing related 2025 revenue.
Churchill Downs Incorporated reported higher revenue but lower profit for the fourth quarter and full year 2025. Fourth quarter net revenue reached $665.9 million, up 7%, with record Adjusted EBITDA of $247.0 million, while net income attributable to CDI fell to $51.3 million from $71.7 million.
For 2025, net revenue rose to $2,925.9 million from $2,734.3 million, and Adjusted EBITDA increased to $1,205.3 million. Full-year net income attributable to CDI declined to $383.0 million from $426.8 million, driven by higher impairment charges, increased transaction and pre-opening expenses, and tax valuation allowances, while adjusted net income stayed roughly flat.
Growth was led by the Live and Historical Racing segment, especially Kentucky and Virginia HRM venues, and by Wagering Services and Solutions. Gaming was roughly flat on revenue but saw lower Adjusted EBITDA. CDI returned $456.3 million to shareholders through share repurchases and dividends in 2025, ended the year with net bank leverage of 4.1x, and plans $180–$220 million of project capital spending in 2026, including major investments in Rockingham Grand Casino and continued development at Churchill Downs Racetrack.
