International Speedway Corporation

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

August 31, 2016

(Unaudited)

1. Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information but do not include all of the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2015, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest annual report on Form 10-K for International Speedway Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “ISC”). In management’s opinion, the statements include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" or "Update") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The objective of this Update is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date, while permitting entities to elect to adopt one year earlier on the original effective date. As a result, for a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In April 2015, the FASB, in conjunction with the IASB, issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest". The objective of this Update is to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. The Company has adopted the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted (see "Note 6. Long-Term Debt").

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Sub-Topic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements". Given the absence of authoritative guidance within Update 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company has adopted the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". The objective of this Update is to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in this Update require that deferred assets and liabilities be classified as long-term on the balance sheet instead of separating the deferred taxes into current and non-current amounts. The Company believes that this treatment of deferred taxes reduces the complexity of financial reporting while improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of the financial statements. As a result the Company elected to early adopt this Update prospectively as of November 30, 2015.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842): "Leases". The objective of this Update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creating Topic 842, Leases. This Update, along with IFRS 16, Leases, are the results of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB’s) efforts to meet that objective and improve financial reporting. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018,

9

including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

3. Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when the Company recognizes a net loss, it excludes the impact of outstanding stock awards from the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 and 2016 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended

4. Equity and Other Investments

Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway

Kansas Entertainment, LLC, (“Kansas Entertainment”) a 50/50 joint venture of Penn Hollywood Kansas, Inc. (“Penn”), a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and Kansas Speedway Development Corporation (“KSDC”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC, operates the Hollywood-themed casino and branded destination entertainment facility, overlooking turn two at Kansas Speedway. Penn, as the managing member of Kansas Entertainment, is responsible for the operations of the casino.

The Company has accounted for Kansas Entertainment as an equity investment in the consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2015 and 2016. The Company's 50.0 percent portion of Kansas Entertainment’s net income, which is before income taxes as the joint venture is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes, was approximately $3.5 million and $3.3 million for the three months endedAugust 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and approximately $11.2 million and $11.5 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, and is included in Equity in net income from equity investments in the consolidated statements of operations.

Pre-tax distributions from Kansas Entertainment for the nine months ended August 31, 2016, totaling approximately $19.0 million, consist of approximately $12.3 million received as a distribution from its profits, were included in net cash provided by operating activities on the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows, with the remaining approximately $6.7 million received, recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. Pre-tax distributions from Kansas Entertainment for the nine months ended August 31, 2015, totaling $24.8 million, consisted of approximately $12.1 million received as a distribution from its profits, were included in net cash provided by operating activities on the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows, with the remaining approximate $12.7 million received, recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows.

Fairfield Inn Hotel at ONE DAYTONA

10

Since June 2013, ISC has pursued development of ONE DAYTONA, the proposed premier mixed use and entertainment destination across from its Daytona International Speedway. Daytona Hotel Two, LLC ("Fairfield"), a joint venture of Daytona Hospitality Group II, LLC ("DHGII"), a subsidiary of Prime-Shaner Groups, and Daytona Beach Property Holdings Retail, LLC ("DBR"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC, was formed to own, construct and operate a Fairfield Inn hotel. The hotel will be situated within the ONE DAYTONA development. As per the partnership agreement, the Company's 33.25 percent share of equity will be limited to its non-cash land contribution and it will share in the profits from the joint venture proportionately to its equity ownership.

In June 2016, DBR contributed land to the joint venture as per the agreement. Vertical construction of the hotel has commenced and is expected to open in third quarter of fiscal 2017. DHGII is the managing member of the Fairfield and will be responsible for the development and operations of the hotel. There were no operations as of August 31, 2016.

Staten Island Property

On August 5, 2013, the Company announced that it sold its 676 acre parcel of property located in Staten Island, New York, to Staten Island Marine Development, LLC (“Marine Development”). Marine Development purchased 100 percent of the outstanding equity membership interests of 380 Development LLC (“380 Development”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC and owner of the Staten Island property, for a total sales price of $80.0 million. In addition, the Company previously received approximately $4.2 million for an option provided to the purchaser that is nonrefundable and does not apply to the $80.0 million sales price.

The Company received $7.5 million, less closing and other administrative costs, of the sales price at closing. The remaining sales price was financed by the Company through a secured mortgage interest in 380 Development as well as the underlying property. The mortgage balance bore interest at an annual rate of 7.0 percent. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company received a principal payment of approximately $6.1 million plus interest on the mortgage balance through February 29, 2016. The remaining purchase price of $66.4 million was due in March 2016. The Company has accounted for the transaction using the cost recovery method and has deferred the recognition of profit of approximately $1.9 million, and interest totaling approximately $11.4 million at May 31, 2016, until the carrying amount of the property was recovered, upon final payment.

In March 2016, the Company completed an assignment of all rights, title and interest in the mortgage and underlying promissory note to an affiliate of Matrix Development Group, a New York/New Jersey area developer, and received the remaining principal balance of $66.4 million, plus additional consideration of approximately $0.3 million. The Company has no further commitments or contingencies related to the property or its sale. As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $13.6 million, comprised of the aforementioned deferred gain, interest, and other consideration paid. The deferred gain of $1.9 million is included in Other operating revenue in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, and the interest, and additional consideration received, is included in Other in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

The net proceeds from the sale, combined with the mortgage interest and related cash tax benefits, provided the Company with approximately $129.8 million in incremental cash flow through the term of the mortgage.

The Company's $65.0 million principal amount of senior unsecured notes (“4.63 percent Senior Notes”) bear interest at 4.63 percent and are due January 2021. The 4.63 percent Senior Notes require semi-annual interest payments on January 18 and July 18 through their maturity.

Certain of the Company’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are guarantors of the 4.63 percent Senior Notes. Certain restrictive covenants of the 4.63 percent Senior Notes require that the Company's ratio of its Consolidated Funded Indebtedness to its Consolidated EBITDA ("leverage ratio") does not exceed 3.50 to 1.0, and its Consolidated EBITDA to Consolidated Interest Expense ("interest coverage ratio") is not less than 2.0 to 1.0. In addition, the Company may not permit the aggregate of certain Priority Debt to exceed 15.0 percent of its Consolidated Net Worth. The 4.63 percent Senior Notes contain various other affirmative and negative restrictive covenants including, among others, limitations on liens, sales of assets, mergers and consolidations and certain transactions with affiliates.

Principal (mandatory redemption) payments per the Funding Commitment are payable by KSC on October 1 of each year. The semi-annual interest component of the Funding Commitment is payable on April 1 and October 1 of each year. KSC granted a mortgage and security interest in the Kansas project for its Funding Commitment obligation.

On September 27, 2016, the Company amended and extended its existing $300.0 million credit facility, maturing November 2017, and entered into a new $300.0 million revolving credit facility (“2016 Credit Facility”). The 2016 Credit Facility contains a feature that allows the Company to increase the credit facility to a total of $500.0 million, subject to certain conditions, provides for separate sub-limits of $25.0 million for standby letters of credit and $10.0 million for swing line loans.

13

The 2016 Credit Facility is scheduled to mature five years from the date of inception, with two 1-year extension options. Interest accrues, at the Company's option, at either LIBOR plus 100.0 — 162.5 basis points or a base rate loan at the highest of i) Wells Fargo Bank's prime lending rate, ii) the Federal Funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus 0.5 percent, and iii) one month LIBOR plus 1.0 percent. The 2016 Credit Facility also contains a commitment fee ranging from 0.125 percent to 0.225 percent of unused amounts available for borrowing. The interest rate margin on the LIBOR borrowings and commitment fee are variable depending on the better of the Company's debt rating as determined by specified rating agencies or its leverage ratio. Certain of the Company's wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are guarantors on the 2016 Credit Facility. The 2016 Credit Facility requires that the Company's leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50 to 1.0 (4.0 to 1.0 for the four quarters ending after any Permitted Acquisition), and its interest coverage ratio is not less than 2.5 to 1.0. The 2016 Credit Facility also contains various other affirmative and negative restrictive covenants including, among others, limitations on indebtedness, investments, sales of assets, certain transactions with affiliates, entering into certain restrictive agreements and making certain restricted payments as detailed in the agreement. As of August 31, 2016, the Company was in compliance with its various restrictive covenants. At August 31, 2016, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under its credit facility. Financing costs related to the credit facility, net of accumulated amortization, of approximately $0.3 million, have been deferred and are included in other assets as of August 31, 2016.

Financing costs are being amortized on a straight-line method, which approximates the effective yield method, over the life of the related financing.

Total interest expense incurred by the Company for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, is as follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	August 31, 2015		August 31, 2016		August 31, 2015		August 31, 2016

Net interest expense	$	2,668	$	3,625	$	6,738	$	10,398

7. Financial Instruments

Various inputs are considered when determining the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, which approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

At August 31, 2016, the Company had money market funds totaling approximately $68.4 million which are included in cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated balance sheet. All inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 1 inputs.

Fair values of long-term debt are based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement. The Company’s credit facilities approximate fair value as they bear interest rates that approximate market. These inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 2 inputs. The fair value of the remaining long-term debt, as determined by quotes from financial institutions, was approximately $284.8 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $268.4 million and approximately $296.5 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $267.8 million at November 30, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company had no financial instruments that used level 3 inputs as of August 31, 2016.

8. Capital Stock

Stock Purchase Plan

The Company has a share repurchase program (“Stock Purchase Plan”), under which it is authorized to purchase up to

$330.0 million of its outstanding Class A common shares. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the Stock

These transactions occurred in open market purchases and pursuant to a trading

plan under Rule 10b5-1. At August 31, 2016, the Company had approximately $24.3 million remaining repurchase authority under the current Stock Purchase Plan.

In April 2016, the Company's Board of Directors approved an annual dividend of $0.41 per share, for a total of approximately $18.9 million, paid on June 30, 2016, to common stockholders of record on May 31, 2016.

12. Related Party Disclosures and Transactions

All of the racing events that take place during the Company’s fiscal year are sanctioned by various racing organizations such as National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (“NASCAR”), the American Historic Racing Motorcycle Association, the American Motorcyclist Association, the Automobile Racing Club of America, the American Sportbike Racing Association — Championship Cup Series, the Federation Internationale de L’Automobile, the Federation Internationale Motocycliste, International Motor Sports Association (“IMSA”) - a wholly owned subsidiary of NASCAR, Historic Sportscar Racing, IndyCar Series, National Hot Rod Association, the Porsche Club of America, the Sports Car Club of America, the Sportscar Vintage Racing Association, the United States Auto Club and the World Karting Association.

NASCAR and IMSA, which sanction many of the Company’s principal racing events, are members of the France Family Group, which controls approximately 72.5 percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company, as of November 30, 2015, and some members of which serve as directors and officers of the Company.

Under current agreements, NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series schedules. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The promoter records 90.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors, included in NASCAR event management fees (discussed below). Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event. The Company’s television broadcast and ancillary rights fees

15

received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity, and Camping World Truck series events conducted at its wholly owned facilities, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $56.3 million and $56.8 million for three months endedAugust 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively, and approximately $198.6 million and $205.1 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively.

Standard NASCAR and IMSA sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay event management fees (collectively "NASCAR event management or NEM fees"), which include prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by NASCAR to participants in the events. Total NEM fees paid by the Company were approximately $31.8 million and $31.3 million for the three months endedAugust 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively, and approximately $104.0 million and $105.9 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively.

13. Commitments and Contingencies

In October 2002, the Unified Government issued subordinate sales tax special obligation revenue bonds (“2002 STAR Bonds”) totaling approximately $6.3 million to reimburse the Company for certain construction already completed on the second phase of the Kansas Speedway project and to fund certain additional construction. The 2002 STAR Bonds, which require annual debt service payments and are due December 1, 2022, will be retired with state and local taxes generated within the speedway’s boundaries and are not the Company’s obligation. Kansas Speedway Corporation ("KSC"), wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, has agreed to guarantee the payment of principal and any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At August 31, 2016, the Unified Government had approximately $0.9 million outstanding on 2002 STAR Bonds. Under a keepwell agreement, the Company has agreed to provide financial assistance to KSC, if necessary, to support KSC’s guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.

In connection with the Company’s automobile and workers’ compensation insurance coverages and certain construction contracts, the Company has standby letter of credit agreements in favor of third parties totaling approximately $6.0 million at August 31, 2016. At August 31, 2016, there were no amounts drawn on the standby letters of credit.

Current Litigation

14. Segment Reporting

The general nature of the Company’s business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. The Company’s motorsports event operations consist principally of racing events at its major motorsports entertainment facilities. The reporting units within the motorsports segment portfolio are reviewed together as the nature of the products and services, the production processes used, the type or class of customer using our products and services, and the methods used to distribute our products or provide their services are consistent in objectives and principles, and predominately uniform and centralized throughout the Company. The Company’s remaining business units, which are comprised of the radio network production and syndication of numerous racing events and programs, certain souvenir merchandising operations not associated with the promotion of motorsports events at the Company’s facilities, concessions and catering operations for non-motorsports events, construction management services, building and facility leasing operations, and financing and licensing operations are included in the “All Other” segment. The Company evaluates financial performance of the business units on operating profit after allocation of corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. Corporate G&A expenses are allocated to business units based on each business unit’s net revenues to total net revenues.

The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales are accounted for at prices comparable to unaffiliated customers.

PART I. FINANCIAL INFORMATION

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

Results of Operations

General

The general nature of our business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. We derive revenues primarily from (i) admissions to motorsports events and motorsports themed amusement activities held at our facilities, (ii) revenue generated in conjunction with or as a result of motorsports events and motorsports themed amusement activities conducted at our facilities, and (iii) catering, concession and merchandising services during or as a result of these events and amusement activities.

“Admissions, net” revenue includes ticket sales for all of our racing events and other motorsports activities and amusements, net of any applicable taxes.

“Motorsports and other event related” revenue primarily includes television and ancillary media rights fees, promotion and sponsorship fees, hospitality rentals (including luxury suites, chalets and the hospitality portion of club seating), advertising revenues, royalties from licenses of our trademarks, parking and camping revenues, track rental fees and fees paid by third party promoters for management of non-motorsports events.

“Food, beverage and merchandise” revenue includes revenues from concession stands, direct sales of souvenirs, hospitality catering, programs and other merchandise and fees paid by third party vendors for the right to occupy space to sell souvenirs and concessions at our motorsports entertainment facilities.

Direct expenses include (i) NASCAR event management fees, (ii) motorsports and other event related expenses, which include labor, advertising, costs of competition paid to sanctioning bodies other than NASCAR and other expenses associated with the promotion of all of our motorsports and other events and activities, and (iii) food, beverage and merchandise expenses, consisting primarily of labor and costs of goods sold.

We receive distributions from the operations of our 50/50 joint venture in Kansas Entertainment, LLC (see "Equity and Other Investments - Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway").

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. While our estimates and assumptions are based on conditions existing at and trends leading up to the time the estimates and assumptions are made, actual results could differ materially from those estimates and assumptions. We continually review our accounting policies, how they are applied and how they are reported and disclosed in the financial statements.

The following is a summary of our critical accounting policies and estimates and how they are applied in the preparation of the financial statements.

Basis of Presentation and Consolidation. We consolidate all entities we control by ownership of a majority voting interest and variable interest entities for which we have the power to direct activities and the obligation to absorb losses. Our judgment in determining if we consolidate a variable interest entity includes assessing which party, if any, has the power and benefits. Therefore, we evaluate which activities most significantly affect the variable interest entities economic performance and determine whether we, or another party, have the power to direct these activities.

We apply the equity method of accounting for our investments in joint ventures and other investees whenever we can exert significant influence on the investee but do not have effective control over the investee. Our consolidated net income includes our share of the net earnings or losses from these investees. Our judgment regarding the level of influence over each equity method investee includes considering factors such as our ownership interest, board representation and policy making decisions. We periodically evaluate these equity investments for potential impairment where a decline in value is determined to be other than temporary. We eliminate all significant intercompany transactions from financial results.

Revenue Recognition. Advance ticket sales and event-related revenues for future events are deferred until earned, which is generally once the events are conducted. The recognition of event-related expenses is matched with the recognition of event-related revenues.

19

NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series schedules. Event promoters share in the television rights fees in accordance with the provision of the sanction agreement for each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its event management fees. The promoter records 90.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors. Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event.

Our revenues from marketing partnerships are paid in accordance with negotiated contracts, with the identities of partners and the terms of sponsorship changing from time to time. Some of our marketing partnership agreements are for multiple facilities and/or events and include multiple specified elements, such as tickets, hospitality chalets, suites, display space and signage for each included event. The allocation of such marketing partnership revenues between the multiple elements, events and facilities is based on relative selling price. The sponsorship revenue allocated to an event is recognized when the event is conducted.

Revenues and related costs from the sale of concessions and merchandise for motorsports and non-motorsports events are recognized at the time of sale.

Business Combinations. All business combinations are accounted for under the acquisition method. Whether net assets or common stock is acquired, fair values are determined and assigned to the purchased assets and assumed liabilities of the acquired entity. The excess of the cost of the acquisition over fair value of the net assets acquired (including recognized intangibles) is recorded as goodwill. Business combinations involving existing motorsports entertainment facilities commonly result in a significant portion of the purchase price being allocated to the fair value of the contract-based intangible asset associated with long-term relationships manifest in the sanction agreements with sanctioning bodies, such as NASCAR and the International Motor Sports Association ("IMSA") series. The continuity of sanction agreements with these bodies has historically enabled the facility operator to host motorsports events year after year. While individual sanction agreements may be of terms as short as one year, a significant portion of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of acquired tangible assets is commonly paid to acquire anticipated future cash flows from events promoted pursuant to these agreements which are expected to continue for the foreseeable future and therefore, in accordance with ASC 805-50, “Business Combinations,” are recorded as indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized apart from goodwill.

Capitalization and Depreciation Policies. Property and equipment are stated at cost. Maintenance and repairs that neither materially add to the value of the property nor appreciably prolong its life are charged to expense as incurred. Depreciation and amortization for financial statement purposes are provided on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets. When we construct assets, we capitalize costs of the project, including, but not limited to, certain pre-acquisition costs, permitting costs, fees paid to architects and contractors, certain costs of our design and construction subsidiary, property taxes and interest.

We must make estimates and assumptions when accounting for capital expenditures. Whether an expenditure is considered an operating expense or a capital asset is a matter of judgment. When constructing or purchasing assets, we must determine whether existing assets are being replaced or otherwise impaired, which also is a matter of judgment. Our depreciation expense for financial statement purposes is highly dependent on the assumptions we make about our assets’ estimated useful lives. We determine the estimated useful lives based upon our experience with similar assets, industry, legal and regulatory factors, and our expectations of the usage of the asset. Whenever events or circumstances occur which change the estimated useful life of an asset, we account for the change prospectively.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, we recorded before-tax charges of losses associated with asset retirements, primarily attributable to the removal of assets not fully depreciated, located at our motorsports facilities totaling approximately $11.6 million and $1.1 million, respectively.

Interest costs associated with major development and construction projects are capitalized as part of the cost of the project. Interest is typically capitalized on amounts expended using the weighted-average cost of our outstanding borrowings, since we typically do not borrow funds directly related to a development or construction project. We capitalize interest on a project when development or construction activities begin, and cease when such activities are substantially complete or are suspended for more than a brief period.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Our consolidated balance sheets include significant amounts of long-lived assets, goodwill and other intangible assets which could be subject to impairment.

As of August 31, 2016, goodwill and other intangible assets and property and equipment accounts for approximately $1.7 billion, or 80.0 percent of our total assets. We account for our goodwill and other intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, “Intangibles — Goodwill and Other,” and for our long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360, “Property, Plant and Equipment.”

20

We follow applicable authoritative guidance on accounting for goodwill and other intangible assets which specifies, among other things, non-amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and requires testing for possible impairment, either upon the occurrence of an impairment indicator or at least annually. We complete our annual testing in our fiscal fourth quarter, based on assumptions regarding our future business outlook and expected future discounted cash flows attributable to such assets (using the fair value assessment provision of applicable authoritative guidance), supported by quoted market prices or comparable transactions where available or applicable.

While we continue to review and analyze many factors that can impact our business prospects in the future (as further described in “Risk Factors”), our analysis is subjective and is based on conditions existing at, and trends leading up to, the time the estimates and assumptions are made. Different conditions or assumptions, or changes in cash flows or profitability, if significant, could have a material adverse effect on the outcome of the impairment evaluation and our future condition or results of operations.

In connection with our fiscal 2015 assessment of goodwill and intangible assets for possible impairment we used the methodology described above. We believe our methods used to determine fair value and evaluate possible impairment were appropriate, relevant, and represent methods customarily available and used for such purposes. Our latest annual assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015 indicated there had been no impairment and the fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value for the respective reporting units.

In addition, our growth strategy includes investing in certain joint venture opportunities. In these equity investments, we exert significant influence on the investee but do not have effective control over the investee, which adds an additional element of risk that can adversely impact our financial position and results of operations. The carrying value of our equity investments was $95.9 million at August 31, 2016.

Income Taxes. The tax law requires that certain items be included in our tax return at different times than when these items are reflected in our consolidated financial statements. Some of these differences are permanent, such as expenses not deductible on our tax return. However, some differences reverse over time, such as depreciation expense, and these temporary differences create deferred tax assets and liabilities. Our estimates of deferred income taxes and the significant items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect our assessment of actual future taxes to be paid on items reflected in our financial statements, giving consideration to both timing and probability of realization. Actual income taxes could vary significantly from these estimates due to future changes in income tax law or changes or adjustments resulting from final review of our tax returns by taxing authorities, which could also adversely impact our cash flow.

In the ordinary course of business, there are many transactions and calculations where the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain. Accruals for uncertain tax positions are provided for in accordance with the requirements of ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Under this guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position should be measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50.0 percent likelihood of being realized upon the ultimate settlement. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and income tax disclosures. Judgment is required in assessing the future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in our financial statements or tax returns. Although we believe the estimates are reasonable, no assurance can be given that the final outcome of these matters will not be different than what is reflected in the historical income tax provisions and accruals. Such differences could have a material impact on the income tax provision and operating results in the period in which such determination is made.

Contingent Liabilities. Our determination of the treatment of contingent liabilities in the financial statements is based on our view of the expected outcome of the applicable contingency. In the ordinary course of business, we consult with legal counsel on matters related to litigation and other experts both within and outside our Company. We accrue a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is probable and the amount of loss is reasonably estimable. We disclose the matter but do not accrue a liability if the likelihood of an adverse outcome is reasonably possible and an estimate of loss is not determinable. Legal and other costs incurred in conjunction with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.

Equity and Other Investments

Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway

Kansas Entertainment, LLC, (“Kansas Entertainment”) a 50/50 joint venture of Penn Hollywood Kansas, Inc. (“Penn”), a subsidiary of Penn National Gaming, Inc. and Kansas Speedway Development Corporation (“KSDC”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC, operates the Hollywood-themed casino and branded destination entertainment facility, overlooking turn two at Kansas Speedway. Penn, as managing member of Kansas Entertainment, is responsible for the operations of the casino.

21

We have accounted for Kansas Entertainment as an equity investment in the consolidated financial statements as of August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016. Our 50.0 percent portion of Kansas Entertainment’s net income, which is before income taxes and the joint venture is a disregarded entity for income tax purposes, was approximately $11.2 million and $11.5 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively, and is included in income from equity investments in the consolidated statements of operations.

Pre-tax distributions from Kansas Entertainment for the nine months ended August 31, 2016, totaling approximately $19.0 million, consist of approximately $12.3 million received as a distribution from its profits, were included in net cash provided by operating activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows, with the remaining approximately $6.7 million received recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows. Pre-tax distributions from Kansas Entertainment for the nine months ended August 31, 2015, totaling $24.8 million, consisted of approximately $12.1 million received as a distribution from its profits, were included in net cash provided by operating activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows, with the remaining approximate $12.7 million received recognized as a return of capital from investing activities on our consolidated statement of cash flows.

Fairfield Inn Hotel at ONE DAYTONA

Since June 2013, we have pursued development of ONE DAYTONA, the proposed premier mixed use and entertainment destination across from its Daytona International Speedway. Daytona Hotel Two, LLC ("Fairfield"), a joint venture of Daytona Hospitality Group II, LLC ("DHGII"), a subsidiary of Prime-Shaner Groups, and Daytona Beach Property Holdings Retail, LLC ("DBR"), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC, was formed to own, construct and operate a Fairfield Inn hotel. The hotel will be situated within the ONE DAYTONA development. As per the partnership agreement, our 33.25 percent share of equity will be limited to our non-cash land contribution and we will share in the profits from the joint venture proportionately to our equity ownership.

In June 2016, DBR contributed land to the joint venture as per the agreement. Vertical construction of the hotel has commenced and is expected to open in third quarter of fiscal 2017. DHGII is the managing member of the Fairfield and will be responsible for the development and operations of the hotel. There were no operations as of August 31, 2016.

As part of the ONE DAYTONA project, we have entered into additional joint ventures, which are structured similarly to the Fairfield joint venture, where our share of equity will be limited to our non-cash land contribution and we will share in the profits from the joint venture proportionately to our equity ownership. These joint venture projects include The Daytona, a full service Marriott Autograph Collection hotel, and a residential component of the ONE DAYTONA project (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - ONE DAYTONA").

Staten Island Property

On August 5, 2013, we announced that we sold our 676 acre parcel of property located in Staten Island, New York, to Staten Island Marine Development, LLC (“Marine Development”). Marine Development purchased 100 percent of the outstanding equity membership interests of 380 Development LLC (“380 Development”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC and owner of the Staten Island property, for a total sales price of $80.0 million. In addition, we previously received approximately $4.2 million for an option provided to the purchaser that is nonrefundable and does not apply to the $80.0 million sales price.

We received $7.5 million, less closing and other administrative costs, of the sales price at closing. The remaining sales price was financed with us holding a secured mortgage interest in 380 Development as well as the underlying property. The mortgage balance bore interest at an annual rate of 7.0 percent. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, we have received a principal payment of approximately $6.1 million plus interest on the mortgage balance through February 29, 2016. The remaining purchase price of $66.4 million was due in March 2016. We have accounted for the transaction using the cost recovery method and have deferred the recognition of profit of approximately $1.9 million, and interest totaling approximately $11.4 million at May 31, 2016, until the carrying amount of the property was recovered, upon final payment.

In March 2016, we completed an assignment of all rights, title and interest in the mortgage and underlying promissory note to an affiliate of Matrix Development Group, a New York/New Jersey area developer, and received the remaining principal balance of $66.4 million, plus additional consideration of approximately $0.3 million. We have no further commitments or contingencies related to the property or its sale. As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded a gain of approximately $13.6 million. The deferred gain of $1.9 million is included in Other operating revenue in our consolidated statement of operations, and the interest, and additional consideration, received is included in Other in our consolidated statement of operations.

The net proceeds from the sale, combined with the mortgage interest and related cash tax benefits, has provided us with approximately $129.8 million in cash through the term of the mortgage.

Income Taxes

Changes in certain state tax rates are the principal causes of the increased effective income tax rate for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016 as compared to three and nine months ended August 31, 2015.

The Company's effective income tax rate was approximately 37.3 percent and 37.4 percent for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, respectively, and approximately 38.4 percent and 38.9 percent for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, respectively.

Future Trends in Operating Results

International Speedway Corporation is the leading owner of major motorsports entertainment facilities and promoter of motorsports-themed entertainment activities in the United States. We compete for discretionary spending and leisure time with many other entertainment alternatives and are subject to factors that generally affect the recreation, leisure and sports industry, including general economic conditions. Our operations are also sensitive to factors that affect corporate budgets. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, employment levels, business conditions, interest and taxation rates, relative commodity prices, and changes in consumer tastes and spending habits.

The unprecedented global economic crisis that began in 2008, which significantly impacted consumer confidence and disproportionately affected key demographics of our target customers, continues to influence the frequency with which guests attend our live, major motorsports entertainment events. Ongoing global and regional uncertainty, lack of a broad-based middle class economic recovery, and/or further weakening in the domestic economy may continue to adversely impact attendance levels, guest spending levels, and our ability to secure corporate marketing partnerships in the future. Reductions in any of these categories can directly and negatively affect revenues and profitability. Beginning in 2009, we mitigated the decline of certain revenue categories with sustainable cost containment initiatives. Beginning in 2012, we re-instituted regular merit pay increases to more normalized levels. Certain contracted amounts, such as NASCAR event management fees, increased this year, as defined in recently executed five-year Sanction Agreements covering 2016 to 2020 that include annual, contracted growth in fees (see further detail in Sanctioning Bodies section). While we are sustaining the significant cost reductions implemented in previous years, we continuously seek ways to improve our operating efficiency without negatively impacting the guest experience.

Looking ahead, we expect the continuing slow, but uneven, recovery in the broader U.S. economy to provide an environment for improved attendance-related and corporate partnership revenues. Our industry is also benefiting from NASCAR securing its broadcast rights through the 2024 season with the largest broadcast rights deal in the sport's 68-year history. Consistent with major sports properties throughout the world, broadcast rights represent our company's largest revenue segment. Expanding and extending this contracted revenue will provide us unparalleled long-term cash flow visibility. We also believe the strategic initiatives and investments we and the motorsports industry have undertaken to grow the sport will continue to strengthen the long-term health of our Company.

The industry and its stakeholders have demonstrated their commitment to growing the sport by aligning with and executing upon growth initiatives supporting NASCAR's industry-wide strategic plan whose objective is to build upon NASCAR's appeal by enhancing the connection with existing fans, as well as attracting and engaging new Gen Y, youth and multicultural consumers in motorsports. Additional areas of focus include building greater product relevance, cultivating driver star power, growing social media activities and enhancing the event experience.

Several recent and successful innovations that resulted from NASCAR initiatives that have improved on-track competition and excitement, include the introduction of refined aerodynamic and downforce specifications providing the driver more control of the car, knockout group qualifying formats, overtime rules and enhancements to the Chase for the Championship, now in all three national touring series. In January 2014 NASCAR announced a new championship format that puts greater emphasis on winning races all season long and expands the current Chase for the NASCAR Sprint Cup field to 16 drivers. For 2016, the Chase format has been expanded to both Xfinity and Camping World Truck series events, qualifying 12 drivers and 8 drivers, respectively. The Chase implements a round-by-round advancement format that ultimately rewards a battle-tested, worthy champion. The format makes every race matter even more, diminishes points racing, puts a premium on winning races and concludes with a best-of-the-best, first-to-the-finish line showdown race – all of which is exactly what fans want. The new Chase structure has driven NASCAR Sprint Cup competition to a whole new level with a thrilling, easy to understand format that we believe translates into greater fan interest and revenue opportunities for these events. Results from the 2015 Chase supported this. At the November 2015 Chase finale at Homestead, consumer and corporate participation exceeded 2014, making it the second year in a row this event's results surpassed the prior year. The final two ISC events of the 2015 season in Phoenix and Homestead were both announced as sellouts prior to the event. In addition, for the combined 2015 Chase events ISC hosted, we experienced an overall 4.0 percent increase in grandstand attendance over prior year. These are strong indicators that the Chase format along with other strategic initiatives we have implemented are creating favorable momentum that we expect to continue.

23

We support NASCAR's industry strategy on a number of fronts. As referenced above, we are committed to improving our major motorsports facilities to enhance guest experiences and create stronger fan engagement. Specifically, one of the most ambitious and important projects in our history is the redevelopment of the frontstretch of the Daytona International Speedway, the Company's 58-year-old flagship motorsports facility. The new Daytona International Speedway is the world's first and only motorsports stadium featuring unique experiences for our guests and providing several new marketing platforms for corporate partners, broadcasters and industry stakeholders. Fan and stakeholder feedback was overwhelmingly positive and financial results demonstrate that we are well on our way toward meeting our financial expectations from the project (See "DAYTONA Rising: Reimagining an American Icon"). We remain very confident that elevating the experience at the most important and iconic motorsports facility in North America will drive further growth for the DAYTONA 500 brand, our 12 other major motorsports facilities' brands and NASCAR's brand. We are also confident, that this strategic project will positively influence attendance trends, corporate involvement in the sport, and the long-term strength of future broadcast media rights revenues.

Admissions

Driving event sellouts and creating excess demand is key to the optimal performance of our NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events. An important component of our operating strategy continues to be a long-standing focus on supply and demand when evaluating ticket pricing and adjusting capacity at our facilities. By effectively managing both ticket prices and seating capacity, we have historically shown the ability to stimulate ticket renewals and advance ticket sales.

Advance ticket sales provide us many benefits such as earlier cash inflow, and reducing the potential negative impact of actual or forecasted inclement weather. When evaluating ticketing initiatives, we first examine our ticket pricing structure for each segmented seating area and/or offering within our major motorsports entertainment facilities to ensure prices are on target with market demand. When determined necessary, we adjust ticket pricing. We believe our ticket pricing philosophy appropriately factors current demand and provides attractive price points for all income levels and desired fan experiences.

It is important that we maintain the integrity of our ticket pricing model by ensuring our customers who purchase tickets during the renewal period get preferential pricing. We do not adjust pricing downward inside of the sales cycle to avoid rewarding last-minute ticket buyers by discounting tickets. Further, we closely monitor and manage the availability of promotional tickets. Encouraging late cycle buying and offering excess promotional tickets could have a detrimental effect on our ticket pricing model and long-term value of our business. We believe it is more important to encourage advance ticket sales and maintain price integrity to achieve long-term growth rather than to capture short-term incremental revenue at the expense of our customers who purchased tickets during the renewal period. We continue to implement innovative ticket pricing strategies to capture incremental admissions revenue including ticket price increases over time as the event nears and adjusting pricing of specific seats within a section or row with desirable attributes and greater demand.

To provide our guests with the best fan experience possible, we have improved fan amenities such as wider seating, increased the amount of social zones to promote greater fan interaction/engagement for our guests, and adjusted sight lines for better viewing. Based on our experience, and the continual evolution of modern sports facilities, ticket demand relies strongly on creating a more personal experience for the fans. Enhancing the live event experience to differentiate it from the at-home television viewing experience is a critical strategy for our future growth. Other benefits derived from capacity management include improved pricing power for our events; enticing more customers to renew or purchase tickets earlier in the sales cycle; increasing customer retention; driving greater attendance to our lead-in events, such as NASCAR's Xfinity and Camping World Truck series events; generating stronger interest from corporate sponsors; and creating a more visually compelling event for the television audience.

Other key strategic focus areas designed to build fan engagement and augment the live-event experience include providing enhanced at-track audio and visual experiences, additional and improved concession and merchandise points-of-sale, creating more interactive social zones and offering greater wireless connectivity. We continuously monitor market demand, evaluate customer feedback, and explore next generation live-sports entertainment fan amenities, all of which could further impact how we manage capacity and spend capital at our major motorsports facilities.

Corporate Partnerships

NASCAR is a powerful brand with a loyal fan base that we believe is aware of, appreciates and supports corporate participation to a greater extent than fans of any other sports property. The combination of brand power and fan loyalty provides an attractive platform for robust corporate partnerships. The number of FORTUNE 500 companies invested in NASCAR remains higher than any other sport. More than one-in-four FORTUNE 500 companies, and one-in-two FORTUNE 100 companies, use NASCAR as part of their marketing strategy and the trend is increasing. The number of FORTUNE 500 companies investing in NASCAR increased 7.0 percent in 2015 versus the prior year; and is a 20.0 percent improvement versus fiscal 2008.

We believe that our presence in key metropolitan statistical areas, year-round event schedule, impressive portfolio of major motorsports events and attractive fan demographics are beneficial as we continue to pursue renewal and expansion of existing corporate marketing partnerships and establish new corporate relationships. Companies are demanding more quantifiable return

24

on investment from their sports marketing strategies and our company is focused on delivering enhanced value through our strategic initiatives. This includes enhanced facilities, more frequent and diverse content at our facilities, and deeper understanding of and integration with our customers' business, among other things.

We are very encouraged by organic growth of corporate sales and new sales boosted by strong corporate demand from the grand opening of DAYTONA Rising. For DAYTONA Rising, we have secured five long-term founding partnerships with Toyota, Florida Hospital, Chevrolet, Sunoco, and most recently Axalta, all of them equal or exceed ten year relationships. We also continue to see longer deal terms that provide greater long-term income visibility, which allows our sales team to focus on incremental revenue generation, and more time for sponsor activation. As of September 2016, we have sold all but one NASCAR Sprint Cup race entitlement. For fiscal 2016, we have agreements in place for over 100.0 percent of our gross marketing partnership revenue target, which is an increase of approximately 12.0 percent compared to fiscal 2015, primarily related to DAYTONA Rising. This is compared to last year at this time when we had approximately 97.0 percent of our gross marketing partnership revenue target sold and had an open entitlement for one NASCAR Xfinity series event. With the vast majority of our event entitlements secured, we can focus more resources on official status categories, which will better position us to meet our gross marketing partnership revenue target for fiscal 2017.

We believe this demonstrates the value proposition for our corporate partners is stronger than ever.

Television Broadcast and Ancillary Media Rights

Domestic broadcast and ancillary media rights fees are ISC's largest revenue segment, accounting for approximately 48.7 percent of 2015 total revenues.

In August 2013, NASCAR finalized multi-platform broadcast rights agreements with NBCUniversal (“NBC”) and FOX Broadcasting Company ("FOX") for 10 years, beginning in 2015 through the 2024 season, for the broadcast and related rights for NASCAR's three national touring series. Financial terms were not disclosed but leading industry sources estimate the combined agreements value at approximately $8.2 billion over the 10 years. The agreements include Spanish-language rights and the rights to stream authenticated NASCAR content over the broadcasters' affiliated digital platforms. The streaming and/or video-on-demand rights are often referred to as 'TV Everywhere' rights in the broadcast industry. These rights are important to the broadcasters, who can monetize alternative digital delivery methods of NASCAR content, and address the shifting ways people consume live sports content.

FOX has exclusive rights to the first 16 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point races beginning each year with the prestigious DAYTONA 500. In addition, FOX retains the rights to the NASCAR Sprint All-Star Race, The Sprint Unlimited, Can-Am Duel, 14 NASCAR Xfinity Series events and the entire NASCAR Camping World Truck Series. NBC has exclusive rights to the final 20 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series points races including NASCAR’s playoffs - the Chase for the Sprint Cup, final 19 NASCAR Xfinity Series events, select NASCAR Regional & Touring Series events and other live content beginning in 2015. In total, NASCAR will have 17 Sprint Cup races on network television in 2016, the same as 2015.

NASCAR's solid ratings, the strong demand for live sports programming and the proliferation of on-demand content were significant factors for NASCAR signing the largest broadcast rights deal in the sport's 68-year history. 

In August 2013, FOX debuted its 24-hour Fox Sports 1 network to compete with ESPN. Fox Sports 1 is available in approximately 85 million television households. In addition to NASCAR, Fox Sports 1 has new or renewed deals for Major League Baseball, college football and basketball, Ultimate Fighting Championship, Major League Soccer, United States Golf Association, as well as other sports. Fox Sports 1 represents the latest in the long migration of marquee sports from broadcast television to cable/satellite, who generally can support a higher investment due to subscriber fees that are not available to traditional networks. In 2016, Fox Sports 1 broadcast seven live NASCAR Sprint Cup events and eleven NASCAR Xfinity events.  NASCAR events and content are consistently among the highest rated programming on Fox Sports 1.

In January 2, 2012, NBC Sports Network (NBCSN) was rebranded to align NBC owned sports channels with its NBC sports division, which consists of a unique array of sports assets, including NBC Sports, NBC Olympics, NBC Sports Network ("NBCSN") , Golf Channel, 10 NBC Sports Regional Networks, NBC Sports Radio and NBC Sports Digital (Sports Live Extra). NBCSN is available in approximately 84 million pay television homes. NBC Sports Group possesses an unparalleled collection of television rights agreements, and in addition to NASCAR partners with some of the most prestigious sports properties in the world including the International Olympic Committee and United States Olympic Committee, the NFL, NHL, PGA TOUR, The R&A, PGA of America, Churchill Downs, Premier League, Tour de France, French Open, Formula One, IndyCar and many more. In 2016, NBCSN will broadcast twelve NASCAR Sprint Cup events and thirteen NASCAR Xfinity events. During the 2015 season, NASCAR events represented some of the highest rated programs for NBCSN.

For the 2015 broadcast season, NASCAR Sprint Cup was the number one or two sport of the weekend nineteen times during this span.  Year over year television ratings comparisons were difficult in 2015 due to changes in the broadcast line-up and

25

impacts of inclement weather for events in the current and/or prior year. Despite the limited comparability of television ratings, the sport experienced positive trends with both broadcast and digital consumption metrics and our broadcast partners were pleased with the audiences driven to their fledgling sports cable channels. 

During 2015, Sprint Cup averaged 5.1 million viewers per event with approximately 54.0 million total unique television viewers.  Viewership on FOX increased 9.0 percent year over year. On Fox Sports 1, five of the top most-viewed telecasts in network history were 2015 Sprint Cup Series events.

Sprint Cup Races on NBC reached a total audience of approximately 31.0 million, an increase of approximately 42.0 percent vs. comparable races in 2014. Five of NBCSN’s top 10 most-watched telecasts in the network’s history are 2015 NASCAR Sprint Cup races, and NASCAR powered NBCSN to its most-watched year on record. Finally, the Sprint Cup Championship race from Miami was the most-watched NASCAR season finale in a decade and set a traffic record for NBC Sports Live Extra with over 4.0 million live minutes consumed.

To date for the 2016 season, NASCAR continues to deliver strong audiences in a changing media consumption environment. Even as fans of all sporting events choose to consume content through digital and social media alternatives in addition to television viewing, NASCAR's live television draw is powerful.  NASCAR Sprint Cup events ranked as the number one or two sports broadcast of the weekend for sixteen weeks through the September 11^th Sprint Cup event at Richmond International Raceway ("Richmond"), and Cup events year-to-date averaged approximately 5.0 million viewers per broadcast.

Domestic broadcast rights fees provide significant cash flow visibility to us, race teams and NASCAR over the contract term. Television broadcast rights fees received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series events conducted at our wholly owned facilities under these agreements, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $198.3 million and $203.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively. Operating income generated by these media rights were approximately $144.3 million and $149.4 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively.

As media rights revenues fluctuate so do the variable costs tied to the percentage of broadcast rights fees required to be paid to competitors as part of NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series sanction agreements. NASCAR event management fees ("NEM" or “NASCAR direct expenses”) are outlined in the sanction agreement for each event and are negotiated in advance of an event. As previously discussed, included in these NASCAR direct expenses are amounts equal to 25.0 percent of the gross domestic television broadcast rights fees allocated to our NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series events, as part of NASCAR event management fees (See “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates - Revenue Recognition”). The NASCAR event management fees are contracted from 2016 through 2020 under the five-year sanction agreements (see Sanctioning Bodies) and paid to NASCAR to contribute to the support and growth of the sport of NASCAR stock car racing through payments to the teams and sanction fees paid to NASCAR. As such, we do not expect these costs to materially decrease in the future as a percentage of admissions and motorsports related income.

Digital Media Content

As previously mentioned, the current dynamic media landscape is a result of the increasingly diverse ways people consume media content. An internet trends study from June of 2015, reported that internet usage by adults age 18+ had grown an average of 11.0 percent per year from 2008 to 2015 representing an average of over 5 hours a day usage in 2015. Additionally, the study showed that consumption via mobile devices grew from 12.0 percent of that time to more than 50.0 percent of the time spent on-line. Traditional media sources like television and radio still make up a majority of the average time spent consuming media content per adult day, but digital media consumption whether using a personal computer or increasingly mobile devices now equal more than one-third of the average daily time consuming audio and video content and is projected to continue growing. These statistics skew higher for younger demographics who spend more time connected socially and online through mobile devices.

A key plank of NASCAR's strategy is to continue developing rich content and ensuring its delivery through all of the potential ways that people consume media, whether through traditional television viewership, dynamic web/mobile content, and/or through social-media channels. In addition, NASCAR continuously measures content consumption with balanced metrics that track all the distribution channels to gauge the effectiveness of television, digital channels, and social media interest and demand.  On the digital front, NASCAR is continually enhancing NASCAR.com and NASCAR Mobile apps to strengthen the Industry's digital presence and drive fan engagement. And NASCAR continues to gain critical Industry insights from the Fan and Media Engagement Center to better understand digital conversations and optimize engagement with the social community.

Through the September 11^th Sprint Cup weekend event at Richmond, the 2016 NASCAR season NASCAR has experienced mostly positive results with its digital product offerings experiencing overall steady growth.  Digital media year to date in 2016 is holding strong measuring at approximately 46.0 million unique visitors to NASCAR.com, NASCAR mobile web and NASCAR Mobile apps.

26

Two bright spots in the 2016 season are growth of fans using mobile and the mobile app, which is up approximately 8.0 percent year-over-year; and growth in the all-important male 18-34 year old demographic. Both are positive digital metric trends and reflect progress in NASCAR's key strategic focus areas. On the social media front NASCAR's platforms combined to generate over 3.1 billion social impressions and 189.0 million fan engagements so far in 2016. Overall, social media reach continues to increase this year with Facebook growing by almost 20.0 percent the prior year, and Twitter increased by more than 24.0 percent versus prior year.  This tremendous growth in reach and engagement is a direct result of our Industry's strategic initiatives and a testament to the broader audience of NASCAR and what can be done with targeted activation. We expect these channels to continue to grow and believe the industry is well positioned to monetize these channels as our fans (mirroring society-at-large) consume more content.

Along with NASCAR, we closely monitor changes in the television and media landscape including announcements in 2015 by AT&T, Apple, Amazon (Fire TV), DishNetwork (Sling TV), Google, HBO (HBO Now) and others regarding direct to consumer ('a la carte' or 'Over the Top') content offerings. As the landscape continues to evolve we believe we are well positioned to navigate because of our long-term partnerships with FOX and NBC, who own the rights to digital distribution of NASCAR content through our current broadcast agreement through 2024. Collectively we view the shifts in media consumption as positives for consumers and provides our sport the opportunity to develop and deliver compelling content in rich and diverse ways to interact with our fans. In addition, NASCAR continuously monitors the broadcast environment and seeks to maximize its return on content with our partners and for the industry stakeholders.

Sanctioning Bodies

Our success has been, and is expected to remain, dependent on maintaining good working relationships with the organizations that sanction events at our facilities, particularly with NASCAR, whose sanctioned events at our wholly owned facilities accounted for approximately 88.8 percent of our revenues in fiscal 2015. NASCAR continues to entertain and discuss proposals from track operators regarding potential realignment of their portfolio of NASCAR Sprint Cup Series dates to more geographically diverse and potentially more desirable markets where there may be greater demand, resulting in an opportunity for increased revenues to the track operators. We believe that realignments have provided, and will continue to provide, incremental net positive revenue and earnings as well as further enhance the sport's exposure in highly desirable markets, which we believe benefits the sport's fans, teams, sponsors and television broadcast partners as well as promoters.

In October 2015, we entered into five year sanction agreements with NEM, an affiliate of NASCAR, for the promotion of the Company’s inventory of NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck Series events. In fiscal 2016, we will conduct 21 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events, 14 NASCAR Xfinity Series events, and 9 NASCAR Camping World Truck Series events. Each Sanction Agreement is for a term of five years. Other than the term, the Sanction Agreements are substantially similar to those entered into in previous years. The Sanction Agreements contain annual increases of between 3.0 percent and 4.0 percent in media rights fees for each sanctioned event conducted, and provide a specific percentage of media rights fees to be paid to competitors. The Sanction Agreements also provide for annual increases in sanction fees and non-media rights related prize and point fund monies (to be paid to competitors) of approximately 4.0 percent annually over the term of the Sanction Agreements. NASCAR and NEM are controlled by members of the France Family Group which controls approximately 73.0 percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company, as of August 31, 2016, and some members of which serve as directors and officers of International Speedway Corporation. The Company strives to ensure, and management believes that, the terms of the Sanction Agreements are no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained in arms-length negotiation. Collectively, the media rights fees, sanction fees and non-media prize and point fund fees that we pay are referred to as NASCAR Event Management fees.

Merchandise Operations

In 2015, NASCAR and NASCAR Team Properties announced a 10-year agreement with Fanatics, to operate NASCAR’s entire at-track merchandise business and deliver fans an enhanced, experiential at-track shopping environment. As part of the agreement, Fanatics became the exclusive retailer of NASCAR and driver merchandise at trackside for all 38 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series events. In addition, we also contracted with Fanatics for 10 years of exclusive retail merchandise rights for our track trademarks and certain other intellectual property at all of our tracks. The new trackside retail model operated by Fanatics has evolved from using solely haulers for each specific team or driver to displaying all merchandise in a superstore retail environment supported by, in instances, smaller satellite retail touch points around the track. The new model provides a more personal and convenient shopping experience for race fans. We believe this improved trackside merchandise model, combined with select brand name merchandise and an upgraded on-line and mobile experience, better positions us and the industry to maximize merchandise sales while delivering top quality experience to our fans. Consequently, our wholly owned subsidiaries, Americrown and MA, no longer provide at track merchandise to fans at motorsports events and therefore no longer recognize related revenues and expenses. Instead, we receive a percentage of sales from Fanatics, recorded as part of Food, Beverage and Merchandise Revenue.

For fiscal 2015, we recognized the following non-recurring transactions associated with the transition:

27

• sales of merchandise inventory to Fanatics and wholesale transactions by MA totaling approximately $10.4 million recognized in food, beverage and merchandise revenue and associated expenses totaling approximately $11.0 million recognized in food, beverage and merchandise expense;

• general and administrative expenses associated with the transition totaling approximately $1.3 million.

Comparable merchandise sales per capita utilizing the new superstore shopping model are, on average, approximately 6.0 percent greater than sales per capita using the 'hauler' model employed historically. We expect the new merchandising model will continue to enhance the event experience for our fans and grow the operating margin contribution from the merchandise line of business.

Capital Improvements

Enhancing the live event experience for our guests is a key strategic pillar to drive future growth. We compete for the consumers' discretionary dollar with other entertainment options such as concerts and other major sporting events not just motorsports events. In addition, fans continue to demonstrate willingness to pay for more unique, immersive, and segmented experiences that cannot be duplicated at-home. Today's consumer wants improved traffic flow, comfortable and wider seating, clean and available restroom facilities, more points of sale, enhanced audio and visual engagement, social zones and greater connectivity. Providing these enhancements often requires capital reinvestment.

We are confident that our focus on driving incremental earnings by improving the fan experience leads to increased ticket sales and better ticket pricing power, growth in sponsorship and hospitality sales, solidifying prospects for longer-term growth in broadcast media rights fees agreements, and greater potential to capture market share. We continue to be confident that by continuing to smartly reinvest to create memorable guest experiences, provide attractive pricing and fantastic racing, we will generate increased revenues and bottom-line results. This has most recently been evident in the success of our redevelopment of the frontstretch at Daytona International Speedway (see "Liquidity and Capital Resources - DAYTONA Rising").

While we focus on allocating our capital to generate returns in excess of our cost of capital, certain of our capital improvement investments may not provide immediate, directly traceable near term positive returns on invested capital but over the longer term will better enable us to effectively compete with other entertainment venues for consumer and corporate spending. See Capital Allocation in Liquidity and Capital Resources section of Management's Discussion and Analysis for a complete discussion of how capital improvements at existing facilities integrates into our overall capital allocation.

Growth Strategies

Our growth strategies also include exploring ways to grow our businesses through acquisitions and external developments that offer attractive financial returns. This has been demonstrated through our joint venture to develop and operate a Hollywood-themed casino and branded entertainment destination facility overlooking turn two at Kansas Speedway ("Kansas") (see "Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway").

We expect for our 2016 fiscal year that our share of the pre-tax cash flow from the casino's operations will be approximately $27.0 million.

Since June 2013, we have pursued development of ONE DAYTONA, a premier mixed use and entertainment destination across from the Daytona International Speedway. We have commenced site work on the property and began preparations for vertical construction. We are targeting phase one completion in late 2017 (see “Liquidity and Capital Resources - ONE DAYTONA”).

We remain interested in pursuing further ancillary developments at certain of our other motorsports facilities which enhance our core business, are market-driven, and provide a prudent return on investment.

Postponement and/or Cancellation of Major Motorsports Events

We promote outdoor motorsports entertainment events. Weather conditions affect sales of, among other things, tickets, food, drinks and merchandise at these events. Poor weather conditions prior to an event, or even the forecast of poor weather conditions, could have a negative impact on us, particularly for walk-up ticket sales to events which are not sold out in advance. If an event scheduled for one of our facilities is delayed or postponed because of weather, we could incur increased expenses associated with conducting the rescheduled event, as well as possible decreased revenues from tickets, food, drinks and merchandise at the rescheduled event. Moreover, the forecast of poor weather conditions and/or the delay or postponement of an event due to weather conditions could have a negative impact on renewals for the following year. If such an event is canceled, we would incur the expenses associated with preparing to conduct the event as well as losing the revenues associated with the event.

If a canceled event is part of the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity or Camping World Truck series, in the year of cancellation we could experience a reduction in the amount of money we expect to receive from television revenues for all of our NASCAR-sanctioned events in the series that experienced the cancellation. This would occur if, as a result of the cancellation, and

28

without regard to whether the canceled event was scheduled for one of our facilities, NASCAR experienced a reduction in television revenues greater than the amount scheduled to be paid to the promoter of the canceled event.

Acts of terrorism or violence at mass gatherings or sporting events, prospects of war, global economic uncertainty, or a widespread outbreak of a severe epidemiological crisis, resulting in public fears regarding attendance at sporting events or mass gatherings, could negatively impact attendance at our events. Any one of these items could increase our expenses related to insurance, security and other related matters. In addition, the delay, postponement or cancellation of major motorsports events could have an adverse impact on us such as increased expenses associated with conducting the rescheduled event, as well as possible decreased revenues from tickets, food, drinks and merchandise at the rescheduled event. If such an event is canceled, we would incur the expenses associated with preparing to conduct the event as well as losing the revenues, including any live broadcast revenues, associated with the event.

Seasonality and Quarterly Results

We derive most of our income from a limited number of NASCAR-sanctioned races. As a result, our business has been, and is expected to remain, highly seasonal based on the timing of major racing events. Future schedule changes as determined by NASCAR or other sanctioning bodies, as well as the acquisition of additional, or divestiture of existing, motorsports entertainment facilities could impact the timing of our major events in comparison to prior or future periods. Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the nine month periods ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation

The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is presented below using other than U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“non-GAAP”) and includes certain non-GAAP financial measures as identified in the reconciliation below. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed herein do not have standard meaning and may vary from the non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies or how we may calculate those measures in other instances from time to time. Non-GAAP financial measures, such as EBITDA, which we interpret to be calculated as GAAP operating income, plus depreciation, amortization and other non-cash gain or losses, should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Also, our “core” financial measures should not be construed as an inference by us that our future results will be unaffected by those items, which are excluded from our “core” financial measures.

We believe such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful, and is used by investors to assess the performance of our core operations, which primarily consists of the ongoing promotions of racing events at our major motorsports entertainment facilities. Such non-GAAP information separately identifies, displays, and adjusts for items that are not considered to be reflective of our continuing core operations at our motorsports entertainment facilities. We believe that such non-GAAP information improves the comparability of the operating results and provides a better understanding of the performance of our core operations for the periods presented.

We use this non-GAAP information to analyze the current performance and trends and make decisions regarding future ongoing operations. This non-GAAP financial information may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to operating income, net income or diluted earnings per share, which are determined in accordance with GAAP. The presentation of this non-GAAP financial information is not intended to be considered independent of or as a substitute for results prepared in accordance with GAAP. Management uses both GAAP and non-GAAP information in evaluating and operating the business and as such deemed it important to provide such information to investors.

The following financial information is reconciled to comparable information presented using GAAP. Non-GAAP net income and diluted earnings per share below are derived by adjusting amounts determined in accordance with GAAP for certain items presented in the accompanying selected operating statement data.

The adjustments for fiscal 2015 relate to non-recurring, pre-opening costs incurred associated with DAYTONA Rising, accelerated depreciation, losses associated with the retirements of certain other long-lived assets (predominately associated with DAYTONA Rising), capitalized interest related to the DAYTONA Rising project, and net gain on sale of certain assets (predominately associated the sale of trailers in association with the transition of merchandise operations).

The adjustments for fiscal 2016 relate to non-recurring, pre-opening costs incurred associated with DAYTONA Rising, losses associated with the retirements of certain other long-lived assetsrelated to capacity management initiatives (which predominately include the removal of grandstands at Richmond) and other facility capital improvements, legal settlement, capitalized interest related to the DAYTONA Rising and ONE DAYTONA projects, net gain on sale of certain assets (predominately associated with the sale of trailers in association with the transition of merchandise operations), and gain on sale of Staten Island property.

Comparability of results for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016 to the same periods in fiscal 2015 was impacted by the following:

• Year-over-year increases in operating revenues and expenses are significantly driven by the completion of the DAYTONA Rising project prior to the first quarter of fiscal 2016 events at Daytona International Speedway ("Daytona") (see "DAYTONA Rising: Reimagining an American Icon");

• In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we hosted an IndyCar event at Phoenix International Raceway ("Phoenix"). Comparatively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we held an IndyCar event at Auto Club Speedway of Southern California ("Auto Club Speedway");

• In the second quarter and third quarters of fiscal 2015 we held NASCAR Mexico series event at Phoenix and NASCAR Xfinity series event at Chicagoland Speedway ("Chicagoland"), respectively, for which there was no comparable events in fiscal 2016;

• In the second and third quarters of fiscal 2016 we hosted the Country 500 music festival at Daytona and HARD summer music festival at Auto Club Speedway, respectively. Comparatively, in the third quarter of fiscal 2015, we hosted the Phish Magnaball music festival at Watkins Glen International ("Watkins Glen"). For these aforementioned music festivals we earned a facility rental fee and revenue from the sale of concessions;

• For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, we had recognized non-recurring transactions of approximately $0.4 million and $6.5 million, respectively, of inventory sold to Fanatics and $0.3 million and $4.0 million, respectively, of wholesale transactions by MA, which drove a total of $1.0 million and $12.0 million, respectively, in

31

expense including product costs associated with these transactions, costs related to the transition of trackside merchandise operations to Fanatics, as well as partial period operating expenses incurred prior to the transition of Americrown and MA merchandise operations for which there was no related revenue. There were no comparable transactions in the same period of fiscal 2016 (see "Future Trends in Operating Results, Merchandise Operations");

• During the three months ended February 29, 2016, we recognized approximately $0.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in non-recurring, pre-opening costs that are included in general and administrative expense related to DAYTONA Rising. There were no similar costs incurred in the second and third quarters of fiscal 2016. During the three and nine monthsended August 31, 2015, we recognized approximately $0.4 million, or less than $0.01 per diluted share, and $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, of similar costs;

• During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, we recognized approximately $1.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, and $6.9 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, respectively, of accelerated depreciation that was recorded due to shortening the service lives of certain assets associated with DAYTONA Rising and other projects. There were no similar costs during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016;

• During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, we recognized approximately $0.2 million, or less than $0.01 per diluted share and $1.1 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, respectively, of losses primarily attributable to demolition and/or asset relocation costs in connection with capacity management initiatives and other facility capital improvements. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, we recognized approximately $5.4 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, and $11.6 million, or $0.15 per diluted share, respectively, of similar losses associated in connection with DAYTONA Rising and capacity management initiatives;

• During the three months ended August 31, 2016, we capitalized approximately $0.4 million,or less than $0.01 per diluted share, of interest related to ONE DAYTONA. During the nine months ended August 31, 2016, we capitalized approximately $1.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, of interest, of which approximately $0.6 million, or approximately $0.01 per diluted share, related to DAYTONA Rising. During the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015, we capitalized approximately $1.2 million, or $0.01 per diluted share and $5.0 million, or $0.06 per diluted share, respectively, of interest related to DAYTONA Rising;

• In the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we completed an assignment of all rights, title and interest in the mortgage and underlying promissory note of our Staten Island property. As a result, we recorded a gain of approximately $13.6 million, or 0.18 per diluted share, comprised of deferred gain, interest, and other consideration paid. The deferred gain of $1.9 million is included in Other operating revenue in our consolidated statement of operations, and the interest, and additional consideration, received is included in Other in our consolidated statement of operations (see "Equity and Other Investments”). There was no comparable transaction in the prior year; and

• In the third quarter of fiscal 2016, we received a favorable settlement relating to certain ancillary operations of approximately $1.1 million or $0.02 per diluted share. There was no comparable activity in the prior year.

Admissions revenue decreased by approximately $1.2 million, or 5.0 percent, and $2.7 million, or 3.0 percent, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same periods of the prior year. The decrease in the three month period ending August 31, 2016, is primarily driven by the aforementioned fiscal 2015 events held at Chicagoland and Auto Club Speedway, totaling approximately $1.3 million, for which there were no comparable events in fiscal 2016. Admissions for comparable events held during the quarter increased $0.1 million, primarily a result of increased attendance and admissions for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona and the IMSA and NASCAR weekends at Watkins Glen. Partially offsetting was a decrease in attendance and admissions at NASCAR events held in June and August at Michigan International Speedway. Partially offsetting the increase in the three month period, related to comparable events, were decreases in attendance and admissions at NASCAR events held in June and August at Michigan International Speedway.

Factors driving the decrease in admissions for the nine month period ending August 31, 2016, include:

• The aforementioned events held in fiscal 2015 at Chicagoland and Auto Club Speedway, not held in fiscal 2016, partially offset by the Indy Car event held at Phoenix International Raceway (“Phoenix”) in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, that was not held in 2015;

• Decreased attendance and admissions at NASCAR events held at Kansas Speedway ("Kansas"), Phoenix, Auto Club Speedway of Southern California ("Auto Club Speedway"), Martinsville Speedway ("Martinsville") and Michigan International Speedway (“Michigan”);

• The NASCAR Sprint Cup event held at Richmond International Raceway ("Richmond") was moved from its traditional Saturday evening schedule to a Sunday afternoon time slot;

• The threat of inclement weather during the NASCAR events held at Talladega Superspeedway ("Talladega"); and,

• Partially offsetting the nine-month period decrease were increased attendance and admissions related to DAYTONA Rising for events held during Daytona Speedweeks, Bikeweek, the Coke Zero 400 and Rolex 24, as well as, NASCAR and IMSA weekends at Watkins Glen.

32

Motorsports and other event related revenue increased approximately $3.6 million, or 4.2 percent, and $20.8 million, or 7.2 percent, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The increases in the three month period ending August 31, 2016, is predominately due to the combined increases in television broadcast revenue, sponsorship revenue, largely attributable to the Coke Zero 400 and DAYTONA Rising, and track rental income, primarily related to music festivals held at Auto Club Speedway and Michigan. Partially offsetting these increases were the aforementioned fiscal 2015 events held at Chicagoland and Auto Club Speedway, totaling approximately $2.9 million, for which there were no comparable events in fiscal 2016. The increases in the nine month period ending August 31, 2016, is substantially due to the combined increases in television broadcast revenue, sponsorship revenue, largely attributable to events held at Daytona International Speedway, and other ancillary motorsports and track rental related revenues, totaling approximately $22.7 million. Partially offsetting these increases was the aforementioned fiscal 2015 event at Chicagoland, totaling approximately $1.9 million, for which there were no comparable events in fiscal 2016.

Food, beverage and merchandise revenue increased approximately $0.3 million, or 3.1 percent, during the three months ended August 31, 2016, and decreased $7.4 million, or 20.0 percent, during the nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The increase in the three month ending August 31, 2016, was primarily due to catering held at NASCAR events of approximately $0.8 million and a net increase in concessions sales at the aforementioned music festivals, totaling approximately $0.6 million Partially offsetting the increase were the aforementioned change in transition of merchandise operations resulted in a decrease of approximately $1.0 million and the aforementioned fiscal 2015 Xfinity event at Chicagoland and the IndyCar event held at Auto Club Speedway resulted in a combined decrease of approximately $0.3 million, for which there were no comparable events in fiscal 2016. The decrease in the nine month period ending August 31, 2016, is primarily due to the aforementioned transition of merchandise operations of approximately $11.1 million. Also, contributing to the decrease was approximately $0.5 million lower concessions due to lower attendance for the aforementioned events held during the second quarter fiscal 2016. Offsetting the decrease was an increase of approximately $2.0 million of catering and concessions related to NASCAR events, primarily driven by the Daytona 500, other events held during Speedweeks and Coke Zero 400 in July, and approximately $2.2 million of concession sales related to the aforementioned music festivals held in fiscal 2016, offset by the Phish Magnaball concert held in in fiscal 2015, which will not be held in fiscal 2016.

NASCAR event management ("NEM") fees decreased approximately $0.5 million, or 1.6 percent, for the three months ended August 31, 2016 and increased $1.9 million, or 1.8 percent, for the nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The decrease for the three month period ended August 31, 2016, relates to the aforementioned 2015 Xfinity event at Chicagoland for which there was no comparable event in fiscal 2016. Offsetting this decrease were increases of approximately $1.1 million attributable to contracted NEM fees, of which approximately $0.5 million is attributable to the increase in television broadcast rights fees, as NASCAR sanction agreements require a specific percentage of television broadcast rights fees to be paid to competitors for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series. The increase in the nine month period ending August 31, 2016 include increases of approximately $3.5 million attributable to the increase in contracted NEM fees, of which approximately $1.7 million is attributable to the increase in television broadcast rights fees. The increase in the nine month period is offset by the aforementioned Chicagoland Xfinity series held in 2015 for which there was no comparable events in fiscal 2016.

Motorsports related expenses decreased approximately $2.5 million, or 7.3 percent, and increased$0.8 million, or 0.9 percent, for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The decrease in the three month period ending August 31, 2016, primarily relates to the aforementioned fiscal 2015 events held at Chicagoland and Auto Club Speedway, not held in the current year, resulting in a decrease of approximately $3.5 million. Partially offsetting the decrease were higher operating costs of approximately $0.6 million associated with the July event held at the world's first motorsports stadium at Daytona, and approximately $0.4 million related to purchased services for other events held during the period. The increase in the nine month period ending August 31, 2016, primarily related to the aforementioned IndyCar series event held in the second fiscal quarter at Phoenix, of approximately $1.9 million, for which there was no comparable event in the same period of the prior year, and higher operating costs of approximately $1.6 million, associated with the opening of the world's first motorsports stadium at Daytona. Also contributing to the increase for the period, were approximately $1.3 million of purchased services and personnel related expenses for other events. Partially offsetting the increase in the nine months ended August 31, 2016 were reduced expenses related to the aforementioned fiscal 2015 events held at Chicagoland and Auto Club Speedway, as well as, approximately $0.5 million, related to the aforementioned NASCAR Mexico series event, none of which were held in fiscal 2016. Motorsports related expenses as a percentage of combined admissions and motorsports related revenue remained fairly consistent for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016 at approximately 28.3 percent and 23.5 percent, respectively as compared to the same period in the prior year.

Food, beverage and merchandise expense decreased approximately $0.7 million, or 7.7 percent, and $8.3 million, or 27.1 percent, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The decreases in the three and nine month periods are primarily due to the non-recurring costs in 2015 related to the aforementioned transition of merchandise operations of approximately $0.8 million and $10.5 million, respectively. In addition,

33

motorsports related concessions and catering decreased by approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million for events held in the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, respectively. Partially offsetting the decreases in the three and nine month period ending August 31, 2016, were net increases in concessions costs of approximately $0.3 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to the aforementioned music festivals, and for the nine months ending August 31, 2016, combined concessions and catering cost increases of approximately $1.5 million related to Speedweeks events held at Daytona. Food, beverage and merchandise expense as a percentage of food, beverage and merchandise revenue decreased to approximately 78.9 percent and 75.9 percent for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, compared to approximately 88.1 percent and 83.3 percent for the same respective period in the prior year. The increase in margin for the three and nine month periods is substantially a result of the aforementioned transition in merchandising operations in fiscal 2015. Also contributing slightly to the increase in margin for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016 were lower cost of sales related to concessions and catering as compared to the same period in the prior year, driven by improvements in menu engineering and production strategy coupled with a modest per cap increase.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.2 million, or 0.8 percent, for the three month period ending August 31, 2016 and increased $0.3 million, or 0.4 percent, during the nine month ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The decrease in the three month period ending August 31, 2016 is primarily due to approximately $0.7 million in maintenance, purchased services and certain administrative costs and approximately $0.1 million related to the aforementioned transition in merchandise operations in fiscal 2015. Partially offsetting this decrease was an increase of approximately $0.6 million related to property taxes. The increase in the nine month period ending August 31, 2016 is primarily due to approximately $1.1 million of costs associated with the opening of the world's first motorsports stadium at Daytona and approximately $0.7 million of property taxes. Partially offsetting the increase, for the nine months ended August 31, 2016, was approximately $0.9 million of costs incurred related to the aforementioned transition in merchandise operations in fiscal 2015, approximately $0.5 million of costs related to building maintenance that occurred in the three months ending February 28, 2015, for which there were no comparable costs in the same period of fiscal 2016, and approximately $0.1 million of purchased services and other administrative costs. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues remained fairly consistent for the three months ended August 31, 2016 at approximately 21.1 percent. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of total revenues decreased slightly for the nine months ended August 31, 2016, to 18.5 percent from 19.0 percent for the same respective period in the prior year. The slight margin increase for the nine months ended August 31, 2016 is predominately due to higher total revenues in fiscal 2016.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $1.8 million, or 7.3 percent, and $4.0 million, or 5.5 percent, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. For the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, approximately $2.3 million and $6.2 million, respectively, of the increase relates to new assets placed in service associated with DAYTONA Rising. Partially offsetting the increase for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, is approximately $0.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively, attributable to the shortening of service lives of certain assets associated with the repaving of Watkins Glen, in fiscal 2015, for which there was no comparable event in the same periods of fiscal 2016. Also contributing to offsetting the increases for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, are approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively, related to assets that have been fully depreciated, or removed from service, as compared to the same respective periods in the prior year.

Losses on retirements of long-lived assets decreased approximately $5.2 million, or 96.7 percent, and $10.5 million, or 90.5 percent for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The decreases in the three and nine month periods ending August 31, 2016, are primarily due to approximately $4.2 million and $9.2 million, respectively, of fiscal 2015 demolition costs in connection with DAYTONA Rising, for which there was no comparable events in the same respective periods of fiscal 2016.

Interest income during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016 was comparable to the same period of the prior year.

Interest expense during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, increased approximately $1.0 million, or 35.9 percent, and $3.7 million, or 54.3 percent, as compared to the same respective periods of the prior year. The increases in the three and nine month periods were predominately due to assets placed in service resulting in lower capitalized interest associated with DAYTONA Rising. Partially offsetting the increases were higher capitalized interest of approximately $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, related to ONE DAYTONA.

Equity in net income from equity investments represents our 50.0 percent equity investment in Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016 and August 31, 2015, respectively (see “Equity and Other Investments”).

Our effective income tax rate was approximately 38.4 percent and 38.9 percent for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, respectively, as compared to 37.3 percent and 37.4 percent for the same respective period of the prior year (see “Income Taxes”).

34

As a result of the foregoing, net income for the three and nine month period ending August 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in prior year, reflected an increase of approximately $6.1 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, and $19.6 million, or $0.43 per diluted share, respectively.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures at existing facilities, and return of capital through payments of an annual cash dividend and repurchase of our shares under our Stock Purchase Plan. In addition, we have used the proceeds from offerings of our Class A Common Stock, the net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, borrowings under our credit facilities and state and local mechanisms to fund acquisitions and development projects. The following table sets forth, for each of the indicated periods, certain selected financial information (in thousands):

	November 30, 2015		August 31, 2016
	(Unaudited)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	160,548	$	265,329
Working capital	146,915		200,573
Total debt	265,836		265,501

At August 31, 2016, our working capital was primarily supported by our cash and cash equivalents totaling approximately $265.3 million, an increase of approximately $104.8 million from November 30, 2015. The increase in working capital at August 31, 2016, as compared to November 30, 2015, is predominantly attributable to the refund received, of approximately $47.0 million, in February 2016 of all of the Federal income tax estimated payments made in fiscal year 2015. This was a result of the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act, passed by Congress in December 2015, which renewed previously expired tax legislation that included a retroactive renewal back to January 1, 2015 (see "Capital Allocation"). Also contributing to the increase in working capital were the cash proceeds from the sale of the Staten Island property (see "Equity and Other Investments - Staten Island Property").

Significant cash flow items during the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, are as follows (in thousands):

	August 31, 2015			August 31, 2016
	(Unaudited)
Net cash provided by operating activities (1)	$	117,336		$	198,622
Capital expenditures (2)	(105,737		)	(110,234		)
Distribution from equity investee (3)	24,750			19,000
Proceeds from sale of Staten Island property (4)	—			66,728
Dividends paid and reacquisition of previously issued common stock (5)	(13,110		)	(56,829		)

(1) The increase in net cash provided by operating activities, during the nine months ended August 31, 2016, as compared to the same period in the prior year, is driven primarily by the aforementioned Federal income tax refund received in February 2016

(2) Capital expenditures are predominately due to DAYTONA Rising (see "Capital Expenditures")

(3) Distributions from equity investee, consists of amounts received as distribution from their profits, included in net cash provided by operating activities, and returns of capital, included in net cash used from investing activities, as detailed in our statement of cash flows

(4) Represents cash proceeds from sale of Staten Island property (see "Equity and Other Investments - Staten Island Property")

(5) Amounts relate to dividends paid and reacquisition of previously issued common stock (see "Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds")

Our liquidity is primarily generated from our ongoing motorsports operations and, to a lesser extent, our equity investment in Kansas Entertainment. We expect our strong operating cash flow to continue in the future. In addition, as of August 31, 2016, we have approximately $294.0 million available to draw upon under our 2016 Credit Facility, if needed. See “Future Liquidity” for additional disclosures relating certain risks that may affect our near term operating results and liquidity.

Allocation of capital is driven by our long-term strategic planning and initiatives that encompass our mission, vision and values. Our primary uses of capital are to maintain modest debt levels that are consistent with our current investment grade debt rating from Standard and Poor’s. We will invest in our facilities to improve the guest experience and we will make investments

35

in strategic projects that complement our core business and provide value for our shareholders, all of which is balanced with returning capital to our shareholders through share repurchases and dividends.

Capital Allocation

We have establish long-term capital allocation plans to ensure we generate sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our working capital needs, capital expenditures at existing facilities, return of capital through payments of an annual cash dividend and repurchase of our shares under our Stock Purchase Plan.  In addition, we have used the proceeds from offerings of our Class A Common Stock, the net proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, borrowings under our credit facilities, and state and local mechanisms to fund acquisitions and development projects. 

The current capital allocation plan contemplates the following:

• Capital expenditures remaining under the existing $600.0 million capital expenditure plan adopted by our Board of Directors in June 2013, total approximately $130.0 million for fiscal 2016 and approximately $40.0 million for 2017, consisting of remaining payments to contractors for the completion of DAYTONA Rising in 2016 and certain planned capital projects at our remaining 12 motorsports facilities (see "Capital Expenditures");

• From 2017 through 2021 we expect a total of $500.0 million in capital expenditures for existing facilities, which includes the $40.0 million for 2017 carried over from the 2013 $600.0 million plan.  This allocation will fund a reinvestment at Phoenix, the first phase of redevelopment at Richmond, as well as all other maintenance and guest experience capital expenditures for the remaining existing facilities.  In 2017 we will begin the redevelopment of Phoenix with completion targeted in late 2018. We expect to provide information on annual capital expenditure amounts for 2017 through 2021 as part of our fiscal 2017 guidance in late January 2017, however with the Phoenix construction planned for 2017 and 2018 we expect spending to be somewhat front-loaded.  While many components of these expected projects will exceed weighted average cost of capital, considerable maintenance capital expenditures will likely result in a blended return of this invested capital in the mid to low single digits;

• In addition to the aforementioned $500 million in capital expenditures for existing facilities, we expect we will have an additional $95.0 million of capital expenditures in fiscal 2016 through 2017 related to phase one of ONE DAYTONA with approximately forty percent and sixty percent recorded in fiscal 2016 and 2017, respectively.  We expect this investment to exceed our weighted average cost of capital (see "ONE DAYTONA");

• Return of capital to shareholders is a significant pillar of our capital allocation.  In fiscal 2016 we increased our dividend approximately 58.0 percent to $0.41 per share.  We expect dividends to increase in 2017 and beyond by approximately four to five percent annually.  For the nine months ended August 31, 2016, we repurchased 1,098,525 shares of ISCA on the open market at a weighted average share price of $34.04 for a total of approximately $37.4 million.  For 2017 through 2021 we expect our return of capital program will be approximately $280 million, comprised of close to $100 million in total annual dividends and the balance being open market repurchase of ISCA shares over the five year period.  At this time we expect this spending to be evenly allocated per year, although we will scale the repurchase program to buy opportunistically; and

• We will continue to explore development and/or acquisition opportunities beyond the initiatives discussed above that build shareholder value and exceed our weighted average cost of capital. Should additional development and/or acquisitions be pursued, we will provide discrete information on timing, scope, cost and expected returns of such opportunities.

In addition to sources of working capital and available borrowings, our ability to execute our capital allocation plans are supported by the following:

• Federal tax legislation passed in December 2015 provides for extension of 7-year depreciation for tax purposes on certain motorsports facility assets placed in service during fiscal 2015 through 2016, and bonus depreciation on capital expenditures placed in service fiscal 2015 through 2019. While the tax legislation does not impact our overall tax liability, it does impact the timing of the annual payment of cash taxes. Cash taxes paid for federal and state taxes in fiscal 2015 was approximately $45.0 million. As a result of this legislation, which was passed subsequent to our fiscal 2015 year-end, but retroactive for all assets placed in service during 2015, we received a tax refund of approximately $47.0 million in fiscal 2016 related to overpayment of estimated taxes in prior years, primarily attributable to depreciation for assets placed in service related to DAYTONA Rising. Cash tax payments for fiscal 2016 are currently estimated to be between $30.0 million and $35.0 million. Cash tax payments for fiscal 2017 are currently estimated to be between $55.0 million to $60.0 million; and

• In March 2016, we completed an assignment of all rights, title and interest in the mortgage and underlying promissory note to an affiliate of Matrix Development Group, a New York/New Jersey area developer, and received the remaining

36

principal balance of $66.4 million, plus additional consideration of approximately $0.3 million. We have no further commitments or contingencies related to the property or its sale. As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded a gain of approximately $13.6 million. The deferred gain of $1.9 million is included in Other operating revenue in our consolidated statement of operations, and the interest and additional consideration received is included in Other below Operating Income in our consolidated statement of operations.

The aforementioned represents certain components of our capital allocation plan for fiscal 2016 and beyond. This capital allocation plan is reviewed annually, or more frequently, if necessary, based on changes in business conditions.

Capital Expenditures

As discussed in “Future Trends in Operating Results,” an important strategy for our future growth will come from investing in our major motorsports facilities to enhance the live event experience and better enable us to effectively compete with other entertainment venues for consumer and corporate spending.

Capital expenditures for projects, including those related to DAYTONA Rising, was approximately $110.2 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2016. In comparison, the Company spent approximately $105.7 million on capital expenditures for projects for the same period in fiscal 2015. Remaining capital expenditures associated with the $600.0 million capital expenditure plan will total approximately $21.2 million for the remainder of fiscal 2016.

We review the capital expenditure program periodically and modify it as required to meet current business needs.

Future Liquidity

General

As discussed in “Future Trends in Operating Results,” we compete for discretionary spending and leisure time with many other entertainment alternatives and are subject to factors that generally affect the recreation, leisure and sports industry, including general economic conditions. Our operations are also sensitive to factors that affect corporate budgets. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic conditions, employment levels, business conditions, interest and taxation rates, relative commodity prices, and changes in consumer tastes and spending habits. These factors may negatively impact year-over-year comparability for our revenue categories for the full year, with the exception of domestic broadcast media rights fees. While we are sustaining the significant cost reductions implemented subsequent to the unprecedented adverse economic conditions that began in 2008, we do not expect further significant cost reductions.

Our cash flows consists primarily of ticket, hospitality, merchandise, catering and concession sales, contracted revenues arising from television broadcast rights and marketing partnerships, and our equity investment in Kansas Entertainment. We believe that these cash flows, along with existing cash, cash equivalents and available borrowings under our credit facility, will be sufficient to fund:

• operations of our major motorsports facilities for the foreseeable future;

• ONE DAYTONA (see "ONE DAYTONA");

• the previously discussed capital allocation plans for our existing facilities;

• payments required in connection with the funding of the Unified Government's debt service requirements related to the TIF bonds;

• payments related to our other existing debt service commitments;

• contributions in connection with any future expansion of the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway; and

• our annual dividend payment and share repurchases under our Stock Purchase Plan.

We remain interested in pursuing acquisition and/or development opportunities that would increase shareholder value, of which the timing, size, success and associated potential capital commitments, are unknown at this time. Accordingly, a material acceleration of our growth strategy could require us to obtain additional capital through debt and/or equity financings. Although there can be no assurance, we believe that adequate debt and equity financing will be available on satisfactory terms.

While we expect our strong cash flows to continue in the future, our financial results depend significantly on a number of factors. In addition to local, national, and global economic and financial market conditions, consumer and corporate spending could be adversely affected by security and other lifestyle conditions resulting in lower than expected future cash flows. See "Future Trends in Operating Results - Postponement and/or Cancellation of Major Motorsports Events" for further discussion of items that could have a singular or compounded material adverse effect on our financial success and future cash flow.

Long-Term Obligations and Commitments

On September 27, 2016, we amended and extended our existing $300.0 million credit facility, maturing November 2017, and entered into a new $300.0 million revolving credit facility (“2016 Credit Facility”). The 2016 Credit Facility contains a feature that allows us to increase the credit facility to a total of $500.0 million, subject to certain conditions, provides for separate sub-limits of $25.0 million for standby letters of credit and $10.0 million for swing line loans. The 2016 Credit Facility is scheduled to mature five years from the date of inception, with two 1-year extension options. Interest accrues, at our option, at either LIBOR plus 100.0 — 162.5 basis points or a base rate loan at the highest of i) Wells Fargo Bank's prime lending rate, ii) the Federal Funds rate, as in effect from time to time, plus 0.5 percent, and iii) one month LIBOR plus 1.0 percent. The 2016 Credit Facility also contains a commitment fee ranging from 0.125 percent to 0.225 percent of unused amounts available for borrowing. The interest rate margin on the LIBOR borrowings and commitment fee are variable depending on the better of our debt rating as determined by specified rating agencies or its leverage ratio. Certain of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are guarantors on the 2016 Credit Facility. The 2016 Credit Facility requires that our leverage ratio does not exceed 3.50 to 1.0 (4.0 to 1.0 for the four quarters ending after any Permitted Acquisition), and our interest coverage ratio is not less than 2.5 to 1.0. The 2016 Credit Facility also contains various other affirmative and negative restrictive covenants including, among others, limitations on indebtedness, investments, sales of assets, certain transactions with affiliates, entering into certain restrictive agreements and making certain restricted payments as detailed in the agreement. As of August 31, 2016, we were in compliance with the various restrictive covenants contained in the credit facility agreement. At August 31, 2016, we had no outstanding borrowings under our credit facility.

DAYTONA Rising: Reimagining an American Icon

DAYTONA Rising is the redevelopment of the frontstretch at Daytona, ISC's 58-year-old flagship motorsports facility, to enhance the event experience for our fans, marketing partners, broadcasters and the motorsports industry.

By providing our fans with a better experience as well as an expansive platform for our marketing partners, including an elevated hospitality experience, DAYTONA Rising provides an immediate incremental lift in Daytona's revenues of approximately $20.0 million, and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA”) lift of approximately $15.0 million, approximately $2.1 million of which was recognized in fiscal 2015, with a mid-single-digit growth rate. We also currently anticipate the project to be accretive to our net income per share within three years of completion. While these forward-looking amounts are management’s projections and we believe they are reasonable, our actual results may vary from these estimates due to unanticipated changes in projected attendance, lower than expected ticket prices, and/or lower than forecasted corporate sponsorships. We do not know whether these expectations will ultimately prove correct and actual revenues and operating results may differ materially from these estimates.

In May 2016, Axalta joined Toyota, Florida Hospital, Chevrolet and Sunoco as Founding Partners at Daytona International Speedway's new motorsports stadium. With each partnership extending over 10 years, the Founding partners received sponsorship rights for a dedicated injector, as well as innovative fan engagement space, and interior and exterior branding space, that will enhance the overall guest experience.

Despite not incurring additional long-term debt to fund this project, accounting rules dictated that we capitalize a portion of the interest on existing outstanding debt during the construction period. We recorded approximately $14.6 million of capitalized interest from fiscal 2013 through the opening of the facility in fiscal 2016.

Total spending incurred for DAYTONA Rising was approximately $13.8 million and $56.6 million, during the three and nine months ended August 31, 2016, respectively. Since inception of the project, we have spent approximately $389.4 million and have approximately $10.6 million remaining to be spent. As part of DAYTONA Rising, we identified existing assets that were expected to be impacted by the redevelopment and that those assets required accelerated depreciation or losses on asset retirements. During the nine months ended August 31, 2016, there were no significant losses on disposal of assets and no accelerated depreciation recorded, with a total of approximately $45.4 million recognized since the inception of the project.

In addition, our depreciation expense related directly to new assets placed in service for DAYTONA Rising increased incrementally by approximately $11.9 million in fiscal 2015, and is expected to increase by an additional $15.0 million to $16.0 million in fiscal 2016. The incremental increase in depreciation expense for fiscal 2015 was based on the timing of opening approximately 40.0 percent of the new stadium for Budweiser Speedweeks 2015 and an additional approximate 10.0 percent of the new stadium for the 2015 Coke Zero 400.

As a result, our total depreciation expense starting in fiscal 2016 is estimated to be between approximately $100.0 million and $105.0 million annually.

ONE DAYTONA

Since June 2013, we have pursued development of ONE DAYTONA, the proposed premier mixed use and entertainment destination across from the Daytona International Speedway.

We have crafted a strategy that will create synergy with DAYTONA Rising, enhance customer and partner experiences, monetize real estate on International Speedway Blvd and leverage our real estate on year-round basis.

We have approved land use entitlements for ONE DAYTONA to allow for up to 1.4 million square feet of retail/dining/entertainment, 2,500 seats in a movie theater, 660 hotel rooms, 1,350 units of residential, 567,000 square feet of additional office space and 500,000 square feet of commercial/industrial space.

A Community Development District ("CDD") has been established for the purpose of installing and maintaining public infrastructure at ONE DAYTONA. The CDD is a local, special purpose government framework authorized by Chapter 190 of the Florida Statutes for managing and financing infrastructure to support community development.

The CDD has negotiated agreements with the City of Daytona Beach and Volusia County for a total of $40.0 million in incentives to finance a portion of the estimated $53.0 million in infrastructure required to move forward with the ONE DAYTONA project.

In March 2015, we announced Legacy Development, a leading national development group, as development consultant for ONE DAYTONA. Intensely focused on innovative destination retail and mixed-use projects, Legacy Development is working closely with ISC’s development resources on the project. The Legacy Development team is a natural fit for the project, having served as the developer for Legends Outlets Kansas City, a mixed-use retail destination across from our Kansas Speedway.

We have completed the design for the first phase of ONE DAYTONA. This first phase will be comprised of three components: retail, dining and entertainment (“RD&E”); hotels; and residential.

The RD&E component of phase one will be owned and operated 100.0 percent by us. The expected total square footage for the RD&E first phase is approximately 300,000 square feet. We expect to spend approximately $95.0 million in fiscal 2016 through 2017 on the RD&E component of ONE DAYTONA’s first phase. Other sources of funds will include the public incentives discussed above and land to be contributed to the project. In September 2016, we announced VCC has been selected as general contractor to oversee construction of the RD&E component of phase one including Victory Circle and the parking garage. VCC has an outstanding national reputation for quality and a proven track record leading and managing the development and construction of some of the country’s most engaging mixed-use developments.

Bass Pro Shops, America's most popular outdoor store, and Cobb Theatres, the highly respected Southeastern-based exhibitor, have executed leases to anchor ONE DAYTONA. We are in active discussions with other potential tenants for ONE DAYTONA and have recently announced leases with MidiCi: The Neapolitan Pizza Company, Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery and Oklahoma Joe's BBQ. Additional leases will be announced in the near future.

Shaner Hotels and Prime Hospitality Group ("PHG") have been selected as hotel partners. They have executed a franchise agreement with Marriott International for an exclusive 145-room full service Autograph Collection hotel at ONE DAYTONA that will be known as The DAYTONA. They are also building a 105-room select-service Fairfield Inn & Suites by Marriott within ONE DAYTONA. As part of the partnership agreement, our portion of equity will be limited to our land contribution and we will share in the profits from the joint venture.

Prime Group has been selected as the partner for ONE DAYTONA’s residential development. Following an extensive request for proposal process, ONE DAYTONA chose the Florida developer based on their command of market demographics, development experience and expert property management systems. Prime Group is proceeding with the development in ONE DAYTONA for approximately 276 luxury apartment rental units that will add additional critical mass to the overall ONE DAYTONA campus. Similar to the hotel partnership, our portion of equity will be limited to our land contribution and we will share in the profits from the joint venture.

We continue with site work on the property, along with vertical construction of Cobb Theatres, Bass Pro Shops and the Fairfield Inn & Suites. We are targeting phase one completion in late fiscal 2017. At stabilization we expect this first phase on ONE DAYTONA to deliver annual revenue and EBITDA of approximately $12.0 million and approximately $9.0 million, respectively, and deliver an unlevered return above our weighted average cost of capital. We expect to add leverage to ONE DAYTONA’s phase one post-stabilization.

39

Any future phases will be subject to prudent business considerations for which we will provide discrete cost and return disclosures.

Speedway Developments

In light of NASCAR's publicly announced position regarding additional potential realignment of the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule, we believe there are still potential development opportunities for public/private partnerships in new, underserved markets across the country that would create value for our shareholders. However, we are not currently pursuing any new speedway development opportunities.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our operating costs and earnings.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk, see Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended November 30, 2015. During the nine months ended August 31, 2016, there have been no material changes in our market risk exposures.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Under the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of August 31, 2016. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of August 31, 2016.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by paragraph (d) of Exchange Act Rules 13a-15 or 15d-15 that occurred during our third quarter of fiscal 2016, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

We previously disclosed in response to Item 1A to Part I of our report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2015 the important factors that could cause our actual results to differ from our expectations. There have been no material changes to those risk factors.

(1) We have a share repurchase program (“Stock Purchase Plan”) under which we are authorized to purchase up to $330.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased under the Stock Purchase Plan will depend on a variety of factors, including price, corporate and regulatory requirements, capital availability and other market conditions. The Stock Purchase Plan may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. No shares have been or will be knowingly purchased from Company insiders or their affiliates.

Since inception of the Plan through August 31, 2016, we have purchased 8,162,487 shares of our Class A common shares, for a total of approximately $305.7 million. We purchased 1,098,525 shares of our Class A common shares during the nine month period ended August 31, 2016, at an average cost of approximately $34.04 per share (including commissions), for a total of approximately $37.4 million. These transactions occurred in open market purchases and pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1. At August 31, 2016, we had approximately $24.3 million remaining repurchase authority under the current Stock Purchase Plan.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information but do not include all of the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. The consolidated balance sheet at November 30, 2015, has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for complete financial statements. The statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the latest annual report on Form 10-K for International Speedway Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (the “Company” or “ISC”). In management’s opinion, the statements include all adjustments which are necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 and 2016, respectively, are not indicative of the results to be expected for the year.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" or "Update") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The objective of this Update is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date, while permitting entities to elect to adopt one year earlier on the original effective date. As a result, for a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In April 2015, the FASB, in conjunction with the IASB, issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest". The objective of this Update is to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. The Company has adopted the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted (see "Note 6. Long-Term Debt").

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Sub-Topic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements". Given the absence of authoritative guidance within Update 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company has adopted the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". The objective of this Update is to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in this Update require that deferred assets and liabilities be classified as long-term on the balance sheet instead of separating the deferred taxes into current and non-current amounts. The Company believes that this treatment of deferred taxes reduces the complexity of financial reporting while improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of the financial statements. As a result the Company elected to early adopt this Update prospectively as of November 30, 2015.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842): "Leases". The objective of this Update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creating Topic 842, Leases. This Update, along with IFRS 16, Leases, are the results of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB’s) efforts to meet that objective and improve financial reporting. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share

Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share is calculated using the Company's weighted-average outstanding common shares including the dilutive effect of stock awards as determined under the treasury stock method. In periods when the Company recognizes a net loss, it excludes the impact of outstanding stock awards from the diluted loss per share calculation as their inclusion would have an anti-dilutive effect.

The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the three and nine months ended August 31, 2015 and 2016 (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):

Staten Island Property

On August 5, 2013, the Company announced that it sold its 676 acre parcel of property located in Staten Island, New York, to Staten Island Marine Development, LLC (“Marine Development”). Marine Development purchased 100 percent of the outstanding equity membership interests of 380 Development LLC (“380 Development”), a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ISC and owner of the Staten Island property, for a total sales price of $80.0 million. In addition, the Company previously received approximately $4.2 million for an option provided to the purchaser that is nonrefundable and does not apply to the $80.0 million sales price.

The Company received $7.5 million, less closing and other administrative costs, of the sales price at closing. The remaining sales price was financed by the Company through a secured mortgage interest in 380 Development as well as the underlying property. The mortgage balance bore interest at an annual rate of 7.0 percent. In accordance with the terms of the agreement, the Company received a principal payment of approximately $6.1 million plus interest on the mortgage balance through February 29, 2016. The remaining purchase price of $66.4 million was due in March 2016. The Company has accounted for the transaction using the cost recovery method and has deferred the recognition of profit of approximately $1.9 million, and interest totaling approximately $11.4 million at May 31, 2016, until the carrying amount of the property was recovered, upon final payment.

In March 2016, the Company completed an assignment of all rights, title and interest in the mortgage and underlying promissory note to an affiliate of Matrix Development Group, a New York/New Jersey area developer, and received the remaining principal balance of $66.4 million, plus additional consideration of approximately $0.3 million. The Company has no further commitments or contingencies related to the property or its sale. As a result, in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded a gain of approximately $13.6 million, comprised of the aforementioned deferred gain, interest, and other consideration paid. The deferred gain of $1.9 million is included in Other operating revenue in the Company's consolidated statement of operations, and the interest, and additional consideration received, is included in Other in the Company's consolidated statement of operations.

The net proceeds from the sale, combined with the mortgage interest and related cash tax benefits, provided the Company with approximately $129.8 million in incremental cash flow through the term of the mortgage.

Financial Instruments

Various inputs are considered when determining the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities, which approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities. These inputs are summarized in the three broad levels listed below:

• Level 1 — observable market inputs that are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets

• Level 2 — other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, credit risk, etc.)

• Level 3 — significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

At August 31, 2016, the Company had money market funds totaling approximately $68.4 million which are included in cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated balance sheet. All inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 1 inputs.

Fair values of long-term debt are based on quoted market prices at the date of measurement. The Company’s credit facilities approximate fair value as they bear interest rates that approximate market. These inputs used to determine fair value are considered level 2 inputs. The fair value of the remaining long-term debt, as determined by quotes from financial institutions, was approximately $284.8 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $268.4 million and approximately $296.5 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $267.8 million at November 30, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively.

The Company had no financial instruments that used level 3 inputs as of August 31, 2016.

Under current agreements, NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series schedules. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The promoter records 90.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors, included in NASCAR event management fees (discussed below). Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event. The Company’s television broadcast and ancillary rights fees received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Xfinity, and Camping World Truck series events conducted at its wholly owned facilities, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $56.3 million and $56.8 million for three months endedAugust 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively, and approximately $198.6 million and $205.1 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively.

Standard NASCAR and IMSA sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay event management fees (collectively "NASCAR event management or NEM fees"), which include prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by NASCAR to participants in the events. Total NEM fees paid by the Company were approximately $31.8 million and $31.3 million for the three months endedAugust 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively, and approximately $104.0 million and $105.9 million for the nine months ended August 31, 2015 and August 31, 2016, respectively.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

New Accounting Pronouncements

New Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU" or "Update") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The objective of this Update is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date, while permitting entities to elect to adopt one year earlier on the original effective date. As a result, for a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.

In April 2015, the FASB, in conjunction with the IASB, issued ASU No. 2015-03, "Interest - Imputation of Interest". The objective of this Update is to simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs. The amendments in this Update require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct reduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this Update. The Company has adopted the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted (see "Note 6. Long-Term Debt").

In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-15, "Interest - Imputation of Interest (Sub-Topic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements". Given the absence of authoritative guidance within Update 2015-03 for debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements, the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement. The Company has adopted the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and prior periods have been retrospectively adjusted.

In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes". The objective of this Update is to simplify the presentation of deferred income taxes. The amendments in this Update require that deferred assets and liabilities be classified as long-term on the balance sheet instead of separating the deferred taxes into current and non-current amounts. The Company believes that this treatment of deferred taxes reduces the complexity of financial reporting while improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of the financial statements. As a result the Company elected to early adopt this Update prospectively as of November 30, 2015.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842): "Leases". The objective of this Update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creating Topic 842, Leases. This Update, along with IFRS 16, Leases, are the results of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB’s) efforts to meet that objective and improve financial reporting. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2020.
