Segment Information
SEGMENT INFORMATION
We manage our operations through six operating segments:
Racing, which includes Churchill Downs, Arlington International Race Course ("Arlington"), Fair Grounds Race Course ("Fair Grounds") and Calder;
Casinos, which includes Oxford Casino ("Oxford"), Riverwalk Casino ("Riverwalk"), Harlow's Casino ("Harlow’s"), Calder Casino, Fair Grounds Slots, Video Services, LLC ("VSI"), 50% of EBITDA from our joint venture, MVG, and 25% of EBITDA from our equity investment, SCH, which includes investments in Saratoga's New York facility and Saratoga's Colorado facility;
TwinSpires, which includes TwinSpires.com, Fair Grounds Account Wagering ("FAW"), Velocity, Bloodstock Research Information Services ("BRIS"), Bluff and I-Gaming;
Big Fish Games, which is a global producer and distributor of social casino, casual and mid-core free-to-play, and premium paid games for PC, Mac and mobile devices;
Other Investments, which includes United Tote and Capital View Casino & Resort Joint Venture ("Capital View"); and
Corporate, which includes miscellaneous and other revenue, compensation expense, professional fees and other general and administrative expense not allocated to our other operating segments.
Eliminations include the elimination of intersegment transactions. Our chief operating decision maker utilizes Adjusted EBITDA to evaluate segment performance, develop strategy and allocate resources. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, adjusted for the following:
Adjusted EBITDA includes our portion of the EBITDA from our equity investments.
Adjusted EBITDA excludes:
Acquisition expense, net which includes:
Acquisition-related charges, including fair value adjustments related to earnouts and deferred payments; and
Transaction expense, including legal, accounting, and other deal-related expense;
Stock-based compensation expense;
Calder land sale;
Calder exit costs; and
Other charges and recoveries.
During 2016, we updated our definition of Adjusted EBITDA to exclude changes in Big Fish Games deferred revenue and to exclude depreciation and amortization from our equity investments. The prior year amounts were reclassified to conform to this presentation. We also prospectively implemented a change in accounting estimate for corporate expense allocated to other operating segments to use an activity based allocation rather than a revenue based allocation.
We utilize the Adjusted EBITDA metric because we believe the inclusion or exclusion of certain non-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. 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 Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
The tables below present net revenue from external customers and intercompany revenue from each of our operating segments, Adjusted EBITDA by segment and reconciles Comprehensive Income to Adjusted EBITDA:
