International Speedway Corporation
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
February 28, 2011
(Unaudited)
1. Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in compliance with Rule 10-01
of Regulation S-X and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States but do not
include all of the information and disclosures required for complete financial statements. The
balance sheet at November 30, 2010, has been derived from the audited 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 managements 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.
Unless indicated otherwise, all disclosures in the notes to the consolidated financial statements
relate to continuing operations.
Because of the seasonal concentration of racing events, the results of operations for the three
months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011 are not indicative of the results to be expected for the
year.
2. New Accounting Pronouncements
In September 2009, FASB amended ASC 605, as summarized in ASU 2009-13, Revenue Recognition:
Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. As summarized in ASU 2009-13, ASC Topic 605 has been
amended: (1) to provide updated guidance on whether multiple deliverables exist, how the
deliverables in an arrangement should be separated, and the consideration allocated; (2) to require
an entity to allocate revenue in an arrangement using estimated selling prices of deliverables if a
vendor does not have VSOE or third-party evidence of selling price; and (3) to eliminate the use of
the residual method and require an entity to allocate revenue using the relative selling price
method. The accounting changes in ASU 2009-13 are effective for fiscal years beginning on or
after June 15, 2010, with early adoption permitted. Adoption may either be on a prospective basis
or by retrospective application. The Companys adoption of this statement in fiscal 2011 did not
have a material impact on its financial position and results of operations.

4. Equity and Other Investments
Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway
In December 2009, 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 subsidiary of ISC, was selected by the Kansas
Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board to develop and operate a gaming facility in the Northeast Zone
in Wyandotte County, Kansas. In February 2010, Kansas Entertainment received the final approval
under the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, along with its gaming license from the Kansas Racing and
Gaming Commission. Construction of the Hollywood-themed and branded entertainment destination
facility, overlooking turn two of Kansas Speedway, began in April 2010 with a planned opening in
the first half of 2012.
The initial phase of this project, including certain changes to the scope and mix of gaming
operations and amenities approved by the Kansas Lottery Commission in August 2010, features an
82,000 square foot casino with 2,000 slot machines and 52 table games (including 12 poker tables),
a 1,253 space parking structure as well as a sports-themed bar, dining and entertainment options.
Kansas Entertainment anticipates funding the initial phase of the development with equity
contributions from each partner and potentially third party financing. KSDC and Penn will share
equally in the cost of developing and constructing the facility. The Company currently estimates
that its share of capitalized development costs for the project, excluding its contribution of
land, will be approximately $155.0 million. Through February 28, 2011, the Company has funded
approximately $39.3 million of these capitalized development costs to Kansas Entertainment and
expects to fund the remaining amount through the opening of the casino in fiscal 2012. In addition,
the Company expects to continue to incur certain other start up and related costs through opening,
a number of which will be expensed through equity in net loss from equity investments. Penn is the
managing member of Kansas Entertainment and is responsible for the development and operation of the
casino.
The Company has accounted for Kansas Entertainment as an equity investment in its financial
statements as of February 28, 2011. The Companys 50.0 percent portion of Kansas Entertainments
net loss is approximately $1.1 million and $0.2 million, related to certain start up costs, and is
included in equity in net loss from equity investments in its consolidated statements of operations
for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Staten Island Property
In connection with the Companys efforts to develop a major motorsports entertainment facility in
the New York metropolitan area, its wholly owned indirect subsidiary, 380 Development, LLC (380
Development), purchased a total of 676 acres located in the New York City borough of Staten Island
in early fiscal 2005 and began improvements including fill operations on the property. In December
2006, the Company announced its decision to discontinue pursuit of the speedway development on
Staten Island.
In October 2009, the Company entered into, and subsequently amended, an agreement (Agreement)
with KB Marine Holdings LLC (KB Holdings) under which KB Holdings would acquire 100 percent of
the outstanding equity membership interests of
7
380
Development. Upon execution of the Agreement, ISC received a non-refundable $1.0 million payment.
The most recent amendment reflected a total purchase price of approximately $88.0 million. The
Company expected that the proceeds from the sale, net of applicable broker commissions and other
closing costs would have resulted in an immaterial gain on the transaction upon closing.
On December 6, 2010, the Company announced the termination of the amended Agreement with KB
Holdings for the sale of the interests in 380 Development. KB Holdings did not fulfill the terms of
the amended Agreement to close the transaction on or before November 30, 2010. The Company is
currently pursuing further discussions with KB Holdings as well as alternative buyers for the
interests in 380 Development.
On March 30, 2011, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) published
for public comment a series of documents, including an Engineering Work Plan, which will allow the
property to be filled. Following the public comment period, the DEC may approve the Engineering
Work Plan, as well as a Modified Order on Consent and other related documents. This step will
allow the property to be filled and remaining environmental remediation to be completed, both of
which are necessary precursors for commercial development of the property. The Company believes
this is an important step in the development of the property and its potential to bring jobs and
economic development to Staten Island. Currently the Company does not anticipate filling activities
to commence until after it has sold its interest in 380 Development.
Motorsports Authentics
The Company is a partner with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. in a 50/50 joint venture, SMISC, LLC,
which, through its wholly owned subsidiary Motorsports Authentics, LLC conducts business under the
name Motorsports Authentics (MA). MA designs, promotes, markets and distributes motorsports
licensed merchandise.
The Companys has a guaranty exposure, to one NASCAR team licensor which will be satisfied upon MA
making certain payments to the team through January 2013. In January 2011, MA made a payment to the
team effectively reducing the Companys guaranty exposure to $3.8 million. While it is possible
that some obligation under this guarantee may occur in the future, the amount it will ultimately
pay cannot be estimated at this time. In any event, the Company does not believe that the ultimate
financial outcome will have a material impact on its financial position or results of operations.
The Companys investment in MA was previously reduced to zero and it did not recognize any net
income or loss from operations of MA during the three months ended February 28, 2010 or 2011.

The Company has registered senior notes (the 5.4 percent Senior Notes) which bear interest
at 5.4 percent and are due April 2014, which require semi-annual interest payments on April 15 and
October 15 through their maturity. The 5.4 percent Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in
part, at the Companys option, at any time or from time to time at redemption prices as defined in
the indenture. Certain of the Companys wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are guarantors of the
5.4 percent Senior Notes. The 5.4 percent Senior Notes also contain various restrictive covenants.
At February 28, 2011, outstanding unsecured 5.4 percent Senior Notes totaled approximately $87.0
million, net of unamortized discounts.
In June 2008, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement to effectively lock in a
substantial portion of the interest rate exposure on approximately $150.0 million notional amount
in anticipation of refinancing the $150.0 million of senior notes that matured in April 2009. This
interest rate swap was designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge under ASC 815, Accounting for
Derivatives and Hedging. As a result of the uncertainty with the U.S. credit markets, in February
2009, the Company amended and re-designated its interest rate swap agreement as a cash flow hedge
with an expiration in February 2011. During fiscal 2010, based on
9
its current financial position and reduction in the anticipated debt issuance from $150.0 million
to $65.0 million, the Company discontinued this cash flow hedge and settled the related liability.
As a result of these transactions the Company recognized expense associated with this interest rate
swap of approximately $1.3 million, which is recorded as interest rate swap expense on the
consolidated statement of operations, for the period ended February 28, 2010. At February 28, 2011
the Company has approximately $6.4 million, net of tax, deferred in other comprehensive loss
associated with this interest rate swap which is being amortized as
interest expense over life of the private placement
completed in January 2011 (see below). The Company expects to recognize approximately $1.1 million
of this balance during the next 12 months in the consolidated statement of operations.
In January 2011 the Company completed an offering of approximately $65.0 million principal amount
of senior unsecured notes in a private placement (4.6 percent Senior Notes). These notes, which
bear interest at 4.6 percent and are due January 2021, require semi-annual interest payments on
January 18 and July 18 through their maturity. The 4.6 percent Senior Notes may be redeemed in
whole or in part, at the Companys option, at any time or from time to time at redemption prices as
defined in the indenture. Certain of the Companys wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are
guarantors of the 4.6 percent Senior Notes. The 4.6 percent Senior Notes also contain various
restrictive covenants. The deferred financing fees, along with the aforementioned deferred interest
rate swap balance included in other comprehensive loss, are treated as additional interest expense
and are being amortized over the life of the 4.6 percent Senior Notes, on a straight-line method,
which approximates the effective yield method. At February 28, 2011, outstanding principal on the
4.6 percent Senior Notes was approximately $65.0 million.
Debt associated with the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Raceway Associates, LLC, which owns and
operates Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway, consists of the following:
|
|
|
Revenue bonds payable (4.8 percent Revenue Bonds) consisting of economic development
revenue bonds issued by the City of Joliet, Illinois to finance certain land improvements.
The 4.8 percent Revenue Bonds have an interest rate of 4.8 percent and a monthly payment of
$29,000 principal and interest. At February 28, 2011, outstanding principal on the 4.8
percent Revenue Bonds was approximately $1.5 million. |
|
|
|
|
Revenue bonds payable (6.8 percent Revenue Bonds) that are special service area revenue
bonds issued by the City of Joliet, Illinois to finance certain land improvements. The 6.8
percent Revenue Bonds are billed and paid as a special assessment on real estate taxes.
Interest payments are due on a semi-annual basis at 6.8 percent with principal payments due
annually. Final maturity of the 6.8 percent Revenue Bonds is January 2012. At February 28,
2011, outstanding principal on the 6.8 percent Revenue Bonds was approximately $1.2 million. |
The term loan (6.3 percent Term Loan), in connection with the construction of the Companys
International Motorsports Center, has a 25 year term due October 2034, an interest rate of 6.3
percent, and a current monthly payment of approximately $292,000. At February 28, 2011, the
outstanding principal on the 6.3 percent Term Loan was approximately $50.9 million.
At February 28, 2011, outstanding taxable special obligation revenue (TIF) bonds, in connection
with the financing of construction of Kansas Speedway, totaled approximately $63.6 million, net of
the unamortized discount, which is comprised of a $15.9 million principal amount, 6.2 percent term
bond due December 1, 2017 and a $49.7 million principal amount, 6.8 percent term bond due December
1, 2027. The TIF bonds are repaid by the Unified Government of Wyandotte County/Kansas City, Kansas
(Unified Government) with payments made in lieu of property taxes (Funding Commitment) by the
Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Kansas Speedway Corporation (KSC). 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.
In November 2010, the Company entered into a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (2010 Credit
Facility). The 2010 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. Upon execution of the
2010 Credit Facility, the Company terminated its then existing $300.0 million revolving credit
facility. The 2010 Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in November 2015, and accrues interest at
LIBOR plus 150.0 225.0 basis points, depending on the better of the Companys debt rating as
determined by specified rating agencies or the Companys leverage ratio. The 2010 Credit Facility
contains various restrictive covenants. At February 28, 2011, the Company had approximately $50.0
million outstanding under the 2010 Credit Facility. In March 2011, the Company repaid approximately
$30.0 million of the amounts outstanding on the 2010 Credit Facility.
Total interest expense from continuing operations incurred by the Company was approximately $4.3
million and $3.8 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Total
interest capitalized for the three months ended February 28, 2010
10
and 2011 was approximately $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively.
Financing costs of approximately $5.1 million and $5.4 million, net of accumulated amortization,
have been deferred and are included in other assets at November 30, 2010 and February 28, 2011,
respectively. These costs are being amortized on a straight-line method, which approximates the
effective yield method, over the life of the related financing.
7. Financial Instruments
Various inputs are considered when determining the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents,
accounts receivable, short-term investments, 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 Companys own assumptions in
determining the fair value of investments) |
At February 28, 2011, the Company had money market funds totaling approximately $46.4 million which
are included in cash and cash equivalents in its consolidated balance sheets. 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
Companys 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 $203.6 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $204.3 million and
approximately $262.1 million compared to the carrying amount of approximately $269.2 million at
November 30, 2010 and February 28, 2011, respectively.
The Company had no level 3 inputs as of February 28, 2011.
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 $250.0 million of its 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 Stock Purchase Plan through February 28, 2011, the Company purchased
5,304,601 shares of its Class A common shares, for a total of approximately $223.2 million.
Included in these totals are the purchases of 81,988 shares of its Class A common shares during the
three months ended February 28, 2011, at an average cost of approximately $29.21 per share
(including commissions), for a total of approximately $2.4 million. These transactions occurred in
open market purchases and pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1. At February 28, 2011, the
Company has approximately $26.8 million remaining repurchase authority under the current Stock
Purchase Plan.
9. Income Taxes
As of February 28, 2011, in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes, the Company has a total
liability of approximately $6.8 million for uncertain tax positions, inclusive of tax, interest,
and penalties. Of this amount, approximately $5.2 million represents income tax liability for
uncertain tax positions related to various federal and state income tax matters. If the accrued
liability was de-recognized, approximately $3.4 million of taxes would impact the Companys
consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to its effective tax rate. Included in the
balance sheet at February 28, 2011 are approximately $1.8 million of items of which, under existing
tax laws, the ultimate deductibility is certain but for which the timing of the deduction is
uncertain. Because of the impact of deferred income tax accounting, a deduction in a subsequent
period would result in a deferred tax asset. Accordingly, upon de-recognition, the tax benefits
associated with the reversal of these timing differences would have no impact, except for related
interest and penalties, on the Companys effective income tax rate.
The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as part of its
provision for federal and state income
11
taxes. As of February 28, 2011, the total amounts for accrued interest and penalties were
approximately $1.5 million and approximately $0.1 million, respectively. If the accrued interest
and penalties were de-recognized, approximately $1.0 million would impact the Companys
consolidated statement of operations as a reduction to its effective tax rate.
The Company continues to pursue settlements with the appropriate state tax authorities related to
certain state tax issues, as well as in connection with our recently settled examination with the
Internal Revenue Service, and on similar terms. The Company expects to pay between $3.0 million and
$3.5 million in total to finalize all pending settlements with various states within the next 3 to
12 months. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to these various
state matters including interest charges through February 28, 2011, and, as a result, does not
expect that such an outcome would have a material adverse effect on results of operations.
The de-recognition of potential interest and penalties associated with certain state settlements as
well as certain state credits accrued are the principal causes of the decreased effective income
tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2010. As a result of these items, the Companys
effective income tax rate decreased from the statutory income rate to approximately 23.1 percent
for the three months ended February 28, 2010.
10. Related Party Disclosures and Transactions
All of the racing events that take place during the Companys fiscal year are sanctioned by various
racing organizations such as 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 LAutomobile, the
Federation Internationale Motocycliste, Grand American Road Racing Association, Historic Sportscar
Racing, IZOD IndyCar Series, National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing (NASCAR), 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,
which sanctions many of the Companys principal racing events, is a member of the France Family
Group which controls in excess of 70.3 percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding
stock of the Company, and some members of which serve as directors and officers of the Company.
Standard NASCAR sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay sanction fees and 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. Prize and point fund monies paid by the
Company to NASCAR and its subsidiaries from continuing operations for disbursement to competitors,
which are exclusive of NASCAR and its subsidiaries sanction fees, totaled approximately $29.1
million and $27.7 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Under current agreements, NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television
rights to the entire NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide 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, Nationwide, 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, Nationwide or Camping World Truck series event as a component of its
sanction fees and remits the remaining 90.0 percent to the event promoter. The event promoter pays
25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event as part of the previously
discussed prize money paid to NASCAR for disbursement to competitors. The Companys television
broadcast and ancillary rights fees from continuing operations received from NASCAR for the NASCAR
Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events conducted at its wholly-owned
facilities, and recorded as part of motorsports related revenue, were approximately $65.1 million
and $64.9 million for the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
11. 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
speedways boundaries and are not the Companys obligation. KSC has agreed to guarantee the payment
of principal and any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At February 28, 2011,
the Unified Government had approximately $2.6 million outstanding on 2002 STAR Bonds. Under a
keepwell agreement, the Company has agreed to provide financial assistance to KSC, if necessary, to
support KSCs guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.
In connection with the Companys automobile and workers compensation insurance coverages and
certain construction contracts, the Company has standby letter of credit agreements in favor of
third parties totaling $4.0 million at February 28, 2011. At February 28, 2011, there were no
amounts drawn on the standby letters of credit.
12
Current Litigation
The Company is from time to time a party to routine litigation incidental to its business.
Management does not believe that the resolution of any or all of such litigation will have a
material adverse effect on the Companys financial condition or results of operations.
12. Segment Reporting
The general nature of the Companys business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise,
furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. The Companys
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 Companys 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
Companys facilities, construction management services, 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 units 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. The following tables provide segment reporting of the Company for the three
months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011 (in thousands):

13. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements
In connection with the 5.4 percent Senior Notes, the Company is required to provide condensed
consolidating financial information for its subsidiary guarantors. Certain of the Companys
wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries have, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally
guaranteed, to each holder of 5.4 percent Senior Notes and the trustee under the Indenture for the
5.4 percent Senior Notes, the full and prompt performance of the Companys obligations under the
indenture and the 5.4 percent Senior Notes, including the payment of principal (or premium, if any)
and interest on the 5.4 percent Senior Notes, on an equal and ratable basis.
The subsidiary guarantees are unsecured obligations of each subsidiary guarantor and rank equally
in right of payment with all senior indebtedness of that subsidiary guarantor and senior in right
of payment to all subordinated indebtedness of that subsidiary guarantor.
The subsidiary guarantees are effectively subordinated to any secured indebtedness of the
subsidiary guarantor with respect to the assets securing the indebtedness.
13
In the absence of both default and notice, there are no restrictions imposed by the Companys
2010 Credit Facility, 5.4 percent Senior Notes, or guarantees on the Companys ability to obtain
funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. The Company has not presented separate financial
statements for each of the guarantors, because it has deemed that such financial statements would
not provide the investors with any material additional information.
Included in the tables below, are condensed consolidating balance sheets as of November 30, 2010
and February 28, 2011, condensed consolidating statements of operations for the three months ended
February 28, 2010 and 2011, and condensed consolidating statements of cash flows for the three
months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, of: (a) the Parent; (b) the guarantor subsidiaries; (c)
the non-guarantor subsidiaries; (d) elimination entries necessary to consolidate Parent with
guarantor and non-guarantor subsidiaries; and (e) the Company on a consolidated basis (in
thousands).

MANAGEMENTS 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 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, and track rental fees.
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) prize and point fund monies and National Association for Stock Car Auto
Racings (NASCAR) sanction fees, (ii) motorsports 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 events and activities, and (iii) food,
beverage and merchandise expenses, consisting primarily of labor and costs of goods sold.
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.
16
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.
NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire NASCAR
Sprint Cup, Nationwide 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, Nationwide 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,
Nationwide 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. 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 merchandise to retail customers, internet sales and
direct sales to dealers 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 Grand American Road Racing
Association (Grand American) 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.
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.
17
As of February 28, 2011, goodwill and other intangible assets and property and equipment accounts
for approximately $1,664.8
million, or 84.7 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.
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.
In connection with our fiscal 2010 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 2010 indicated there had been no impairment
and the fair value substantially exceeded the carrying value for the respective reporting units,
except for one reporting unit that was recently acquired. The estimated fair value for this one
reporting unit, which has goodwill of less than $20.0 million, exceeded the carrying value by less
than 5 percent as determined using our internal discounted cash flow methodology. We believe recent
comparable market transactions would support a substantially higher valuation. 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. Despite the current adverse economic trends, particularly credit availability, the
decline in consumer confidence and the rise in unemployment, which have recently contributed to the
decrease in attendance related as well as corporate partner revenues for certain of our motorsports
events during fiscal 2010, we believe there has been no significant change in the long-term
fundamentals of our ongoing motorsports event business. We believe our present operational and cash
flow outlook further support our conclusion.
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
$43.8 million at February 28, 2011.
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
18
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
In December 2009, 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 subsidiary of ISC, was selected by the Kansas
Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board to develop and operate a gaming facility in the Northeast Zone
in Wyandotte County, Kansas. In February 2010, Kansas Entertainment received the final approval
under the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, along with its gaming license from the Kansas Racing and
Gaming Commission. Construction of the Hollywood-themed and branded entertainment destination
facility, overlooking turn two of Kansas Speedway, began in April 2010 with a planned opening in
the first half of 2012.
The initial phase of this project, including certain changes to the scope and mix of gaming
operations and amenities approved by the Kansas Lottery Commission in August 2010, features an
82,000 square foot casino with 2,000 slot machines and 52 table games (including 12 poker tables),
a 1,253 space parking structure as well as a sports-themed bar, dining and entertainment options.
Kansas Entertainment anticipates funding the initial phase of the development with equity
contributions from each partner and potentially third party financing. KSDC and Penn will share
equally in the cost of developing and constructing the facility. We currently estimate that our
share of capitalized development costs for the project, excluding our contribution of land, will be
approximately $155.0 million. Through February 28, 2011, we have funded approximately $39.3 million
of these capitalized development costs to Kansas Entertainment and expect to fund the remaining
amount through the opening of the casino in fiscal 2012. In addition, we expect to continue to
incur certain other start up and related costs through opening, a number of which will be expensed
through equity in net loss from equity investments. Penn is the managing member of Kansas
Entertainment and is responsible for the development and operation of the casino.
We have accounted for Kansas Entertainment as an equity investment in our financial statements as
of February 28, 2011. Our 50.0 percent portion of Kansas Entertainments net loss is approximately
$1.1 million and $0.2 million, related to certain start up costs, and is included in equity in net
loss from equity investments in our consolidated statements of operations for the three months
ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, respectively.
Staten Island Property
In connection with our efforts to develop a major motorsports entertainment facility in the New
York metropolitan area, our wholly owned indirect subsidiary, 380 Development, LLC (380
Development), purchased a total of 676 acres located in the New York City borough of Staten Island
in early fiscal 2005 and began improvements including fill operations on the property. In December
2006, we announced our decision to discontinue pursuit of the speedway development on Staten
Island.
In October 2009, we entered into, and subsequently amended, an agreement (Agreement) with KB
Marine Holdings LLC (KB Holdings) under which KB Holdings would acquire 100 percent of the
outstanding equity membership interests of 380 Development. Upon execution of the Agreement, ISC
received a non-refundable $1.0 million payment. The most recent amendment reflected a total
purchase price of approximately $88.0 million. We expected that the proceeds from the sale, net of
applicable broker commissions and other closing costs would have resulted in an immaterial gain on
the transaction upon closing.
On December 6, 2010, we announced the termination of the amended Agreement with KB Holdings for the
sale of the interests in 380 Development. KB Holdings did not fulfill the terms of the amended
Agreement to close the transaction on or before November 30, 2010. We are currently pursuing
further discussions with KB Holdings as well as alternative buyers for the interests in 380
Development.
On March 30, 2011, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) published
for public comment a series of documents, including an Engineering Work Plan, which will allow the
property to be filled. Following the public comment period, the DEC may approve the Engineering
Work Plan, as well as a Modified Order on Consent and other related documents. This step will
allow the property to be filled and remaining environmental remediation to be completed, both of
which are necessary precursors for commercial development of the property. We believe this is an
important step in the development of the property and its potential to bring jobs and economic
development to Staten Island. Currently we do not anticipate filling activities to commence until
after we have sold our interest in 380 Development.
19
Motorsports Authentics
We are a partner with Speedway Motorsports, Inc. in a 50/50 joint venture, SMISC, LLC, which,
through its wholly owned subsidiary
Motorsports Authentics, LLC conducts business under the name Motorsports Authentics (MA). MA
designs, promotes, markets and distributes motorsports licensed merchandise.
We have a guaranty exposure, to one NASCAR team licensor which will be satisfied upon MA making
certain payments to the team through January 2013. In January 2011, MA made a payment to the team
effectively reducing our guaranty exposure to $3.8 million. While it is possible that some
obligation under this guarantee may occur in the future, the amount we will ultimately pay cannot
be estimated at this time. In any event, we do not believe that the ultimate financial outcome will
have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
Our investment in MA was previously reduced to zero and we did not recognize any net income or loss
from operations of MA during the three months ended February 28, 2010 or 2011.
Stock Purchase Plan
An important component of our capital allocation strategy is returning capital to shareholders. We
have solid operating margins that generate substantial operating cash flow. Using these internally
generated proceeds, we have returned a significant amount of capital to shareholders primarily
through our share repurchase program.
We have a share repurchase program (Stock Purchase Plan) under which we are authorized to
purchase up to $250.0 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 Stock Purchase Plan through February 28, 2011, we have purchased 5,304,601
shares of our Class A common shares, for a total of approximately $223.2 million. Included in these
totals are the purchases of 81,988 shares of our Class A common shares during the quarter
ended February 28, 2011, at an average cost of approximately 29.21 per share (including
commissions), for a total of approximately $2.4 million. These transactions occurred in open market
purchases and pursuant to a trading plan under Rule 10b5-1. At February 28, 2011, we have
approximately $26.8 million remaining repurchase authority under the current Stock Purchase Plan.
Income Taxes
The de-recognition of potential interest and penalties associated with certain state settlements as
well as certain state credits accrued are the principal causes of the decreased effective income
tax rate for the three months ended February 28, 2010. As a result of these items, our effective
income tax rate decreased from the statutory income rate to approximately 23.1 percent for the
three months ended February 28, 2010.
Future Trends in Operating Results
Economic conditions, including those affecting disposable consumer income and corporate budgets
such as employment, business conditions, credit availability, interest rates and taxation rates,
may impact our ability to sell tickets to our events and to secure revenues from corporate
marketing partnerships. We believe that adverse economic trends, particularly the sustained level
of high unemployment and decreased consumer confidence significantly contributed to the level of
attendance for certain of our motorsports entertainment events since the beginning of the current
recession in 2008. We expect certain of these trends to persist through fiscal 2011, which may
have an impact on our business, especially attendance-related and corporate partner revenues.
Mitigating the potential decline in certain revenue categories, primarily attendance-related and
corporate partner revenues, are cost containment initiatives already implemented. These
initiatives have had and are expected to continue to have a positive impact on our financial
position.
Admissions
An important component of our operating strategy has been our long-standing practice of focusing
closely on supply and demand when evaluating ticket pricing and adjusting capacity at our
facilities. By effectively managing ticket prices and seating capacity, we can stimulate ticket
renewals and advance sales. Advance ticket sales result in earlier cash flow and reduce the
potential negative impact of actual as well as forecasted inclement weather on ticket sales. With
any ticketing program, we first examine our ticket pricing structure to ensure that prices are in
line with market demand. When determined necessary, we will adjust ticket pricing on inventory.
It is important that we maintain the integrity of our pricing model by rewarding our best and loyal
customers. We do not adjust pricing inside of the sales cycle and avoid rewarding last-minute
ticket buyers by discounting tickets. Further, we limit and monitor the
20
availability of promotional tickets. All of these factors could have a detrimental effect on our
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 than to capture
short-term incremental revenue.
During this period of sustained economic headwinds, we have experienced compressed sales cycles for
our events as our customers are making ticket purchasing decisions closer to the event date. In
2009 and 2010, to address this and to be sensitive to the economic challenges that many of our fans
face, we reduced pricing for our major events as well as unbundled a substantial number of tickets
to better respond to consumer demand. For the 2011 season, we believe the ticket pricing
initiatives implemented are on target with demand, providing attractive price points for all income
levels.
In addition to changes to our ticket pricing structure, we are motivating our customers to renew
early with various incentives as well as special access privileges. Adjusting seating capacity at
our major motorsports facilities that host NASCAR Sprint Cup series events is another initiative to
help regain a more normalized advance ticket sales trend. Last year, we reduced capacity by
approximately 5.0 percent. The reduction of capacity, which includes providing improved seating for
our fans, resulted in improving the overall guest experience. As we also want to cultivate the
next generation motorsports fan, we expanded our youth initiatives to encourage families to attend.
Corporate Partnerships
With regard to corporate marketing partner relationships, we believe that our presence in key
metropolitan statistical areas, impressive portfolio of major motorsports events and attractive fan
demographics are beneficial and help to mitigate adverse economic trends as we continue to pursue
renewal and expansion of existing marketing partnerships and establish new corporate relationships.
While the economic trends continue to impact corporate budgets and sales, we are experiencing
increased levels of interest from corporate partners. We are also beginning to see pricing
stabilization on our inventory of assets. During the first quarter of fiscal 2011 we announced a
10-year agreement with Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway to sponsor Kansas Speedways realigned
fall NASCAR Sprint Cup series race. In addition, subsequent to the quarter, we announced a
multi-year agreement with Royal Purple Synthetic Oil to serve as the title sponsor for the Auto
Clubs NASCAR Nationwide series race. We expect, based on current interest and demand, to secure
all of our 2011 NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide series event entitlements. We continue to believe
that revenues from our corporate marketing relationships will grow over the long term, contributing
to strong earnings and cash flow stability and predictability.
Television Broadcast and Ancillary Media Rights
Domestic broadcast and ancillary media rights fees revenues are an important component of our
revenue and earnings stream. Starting in 2007, NASCAR entered into combined eight-year agreements
with FOX, ABC/ESPN, TNT and SPEED for the domestic broadcast and related rights for its three
national touring series Sprint Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck. The agreements total
approximately $4.5 billion over the eight-year period from 2007 through 2014. This results in an
approximate $560.0 million gross average annual rights fee for the industry, a more than 40.0
percent increase over the previous contract average of $400.0 million annually. The industry rights
fees will be approximately $565.0 million for 2011. The industry rights fees will increase, on
average, by approximately three percent per year through the 2014 season. The annual increase is
expected to vary between two and four percent per year over the period.
FOX and TNT have been strong supporters of NASCAR racing since 2001, and both have played a major
role in the sports climb in popularity. We have, and expect to continue to see, ongoing broadcast
innovation in their coverage of NASCAR racing events. Also notable was the return of ESPN to the
sport in 2007, which it helped build throughout the 1980s and 1990s. ESPNs coverage and weekly
ancillary NASCAR-related programming continues to promote the sport across various properties.
Further, ESPN broadcasts substantially all of the ABC/ESPN inventory of NASCAR Sprint Cup and
Nationwide series events, providing these series with the continuity and promotional support that
we believe will allow them to flourish. ESPN has a subscriber base at approximately 100 million
and, while less than the networks, it does have the ability to attract younger viewers as well as
create more exposure for the sport. Also, cable broadcasters can support a higher investment
through subscriber fees not available to traditional networks, which is a potential benefit when
NASCAR negotiates the next consolidated domestic broadcast and ancillary media rights contract.
While the media landscape continues to evolve, we believe NASCARs position in the sports and
entertainment industry remains strong. It is expected that ratings will fluctuate year to year. For the 2011
NASCAR season to date, television ratings for the NASCAR Sprint Cup series have increased year over
year to an average of 8.2 million households and 12.4 million viewers as reported by the Nielsen
Company. The NASCAR Sprint Cup series events remains the second highest-rated regular season sport
on television and is the number two sport among all key demographic groups, trailing only the NFL.
In addition, the NASCAR Nationwide series is the
21
second-highest rated motorsports series on television and the NASCAR Camping World Truck series is
the third-highest rated motorsports series on cable television.
These long-term contracts give significant cash flow visibility to us, race teams and NASCAR over
the contract period. Television broadcast and ancillary rights fees from continuing operations
received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Sprint Cup, Nationwide 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 $65.1 million and $64.9 million for three months
ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, respectively. Operating income generated by these media rights
were approximately $47.6 million the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011, 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, Nationwide and Camping
World Truck series sanction agreements. NASCAR prize and point fund monies, as well as sanction
fees (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, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events, as part of
prize and point fund money (See Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates Revenue
Recognition). These annually negotiated contractual amounts paid to NASCAR 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.
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 89.8
percent of our revenues in fiscal 2010. NASCAR continues to entertain and discuss proposals from
track operators regarding potential realignment 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. NASCAR has recently
approved our request for realignment and beginning in 2011, Kansas will now host two NASCAR Sprint
Cup Series weekends. We believe that realignments have provided, and will continue to provide,
incremental net positive revenue and earnings as well as further enhance the sports exposure in
highly desirable markets, which we believe benefits the sports fans, teams, sponsors and
television broadcast partners as well as promoters.
Capital Improvements
Since we compete with newer entertainment venues for patrons and sponsors, we will continue to
evaluate opportunities to enhance our facilities, thereby producing additional revenue
opportunities and improving the event experience for our guests. Major examples of these efforts
include:
Fiscal 2009
|
|
|
Darlington Raceway restroom additions; |
|
|
|
|
New PA system and facility signage at Michigan International Speedway (Michigan); |
|
|
|
|
To further enhance our guest experience, we built a new tram stop at Daytona
International Speedway (Daytona); and, replaced the seats in the lower grandstands at
Talladega Superspeedway (Talladega); and |
|
|
|
|
We have constructed a new leader board at Homestead-Miami Speedway, which is the
future prototype for other tracks. |
Fiscal 2010
|
|
|
We constructed a new media center at Michigan as part of the terrace suite
redevelopment project which we believe has increased appeal to media content providers,
sports journalists, racing team owners and drivers and others involved in the motorsports
industry; |
|
|
|
|
To further enhance our guest experience, we reconfigured tram and pedestrian routes
at Richmond International Raceway (Richmond); |
|
|
|
|
We made further grandstand enhancements at Michigan to provide wider seats,
seatbacks and more leg room for fans; |
|
|
|
|
We completed our repaving project at Daytona. In addition, we made frontstretch fan
improvements and superstretch hospitality improvements at Daytona which included the
addition of the Superstretch Fan Zone and improved tram infrastructure, and we constructed
a new 1/4 mile Flat Track facility which hosted successful AMA motorcycle events; |
|
|
|
|
We completed a major seat enhancement project at Talladega by installing new wider
stadium style seats and increased leg room; and |
|
|
|
|
We have constructed a new state-of-the-art LED leader board and video screens at
Richmond. |
22
Fiscal 2011
|
|
|
We have begun repaving including slight configuration changes to the track at
Phoenix International Raceway (Phoenix); |
|
|
|
|
We are repaving Michigan and expanding a pedestrian tunnel for improved fan access
to the infield fan areas; |
|
|
|
|
We are making grandstand seating enhancements and infield improvements at Watkins
Glen International (Watkins Glen); |
|
|
|
|
We are installing track lighting as well as making track enhancements at Kansas
Speedway (Kansas); |
|
|
|
|
We are adding new campground shower house facilities at Talladega; and |
|
|
|
|
We are adding new and enhanced restroom and concession facilities at Martinsville
Speedway (Martinsville) and Chicagoland Speedway. |
We anticipate modest capital spending on other projects for maintenance, safety and regulatory
requirements, as well as for preserving the guest experience at our events to enable us to
effectively compete with other sports venues for consumer and corporate spending.
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 and branded entertainment destination
facility overlooking turn two of Kansas Speedway (see Kansas Hotel and Casino Development).
Current Litigation
From time to time, we are a party to routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not
believe that the resolution of any or all of such litigation will have a material adverse effect on
our financial condition or results of operations.
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 or other reasons
such as, for example, the general postponement of all major sporting events in the United States
following the September 11, 2001 terrorism attacks, 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. If such an event is cancelled, 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 to the extent such losses were not covered
by insurance.
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. For example, in prior years, one of our NASCAR Sprint Cup races was traditionally held on
the Sunday preceding Labor Day. Accordingly, the revenues and expenses for that race and/or the
related supporting events may be recognized in either the fiscal quarter ending August 31 or the
fiscal quarter ending November 30.
Future schedule changes as determined by NASCAR or other sanctioning bodies, as well as our request
for event realignment or the acquisition of additional, or divestiture of existing, motorsports
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 three
month periods ended February 28, 2010 and 2011 are not indicative of the results to be expected for
the year.
GAAP to Non-GAAP Reconciliation
The following financial information is presented below using other than U.S. generally accepted
accounting principles (non-GAAP), and 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, net of taxes.
We believe such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful, and is used by investors to assess
our core operations, which consist of the ongoing promotion of racing events at our major
motorsports entertainment facilities. Such non-GAAP information identifies and separately displays
the equity investment earnings and losses 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
23
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 adjustments for 2010 relate to the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway equity in net loss
from equity investment, impairments of certain other long-lived assets, interest rate swap expense
and de-recognition of interest and penalties related to the previously discussed state tax
settlements.
The adjustments for 2011 relate to the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway equity in net loss
from equity investment and impairments of certain other long-lived assets.

Comparability of results for the three months ended February 28, 2011 to the three months
ended February 28, 2010 was impacted by the following:
|
|
|
The spring NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide events held at Auto Club
Speedway of Southern California (California) in fiscal 2010 were
realigned to Kansas and Chicagoland Speedway, respectively, and will be held in the third quarter of fiscal
2011; |
|
|
|
|
The spring NASCAR Sprint Cup and Nationwide series events at Phoenix
were held in the first quarter of fiscal 2011. The corresponding
events were held in the second quarter of fiscal 2010. In addition,
Phoenix held a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series event in the first
quarter of fiscal 2011 for which there was no comparable event in
fiscal 2010; |
|
|
|
|
In the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we recognized non-cash
impairments of long-lived assets totaling approximately $2.9 million,
or $0.04 per diluted share, primarily attributable to the removal of
certain assets in connection with the repaving of the track and
grandstand enhancements at Phoenix as well as grandstand enhancements
at Kansas. |
25
|
|
|
During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we recognized approximately
$1.3 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, in expense related to an
interest rate swap . In fiscal 2011, the remaining deferred interest
rate swap balance is included in other comprehensive loss and is being amortized as interest expense over the ten year term of private placement senior
notes issued in January 2011 (see Future Liquidity); and |
|
|
|
|
During the first quarter of fiscal 2010, we had favorable tax
settlements with certain states, where we de-recognized potential
interest and penalties totaling approximately $5.4 million or $0.11
per diluted share. This de-recognition of interest and penalties was
recorded in the income tax expense in our consolidated statement of
operations. There was no comparable activity related to these
settlements in the same period of the current year. |
Admissions revenue decreased approximately $2.5 million, or 6.4 percent, during the three
months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease for
the three month period is substantially attributable to the previously mentioned realignment of
events impacting the California and Phoenix race calendars. Also contributing to the change was the
decrease in the weighted average ticket price for certain events due to the aforementioned pricing
initiatives. Partially offsetting these decreases were increased attendance at certain events held
during Speedweeks at Daytona.
Motorsports related revenue decreased approximately $0.6 million, or 0.6 percent, during the three
months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease for
the three month period is substantially attributable to the previously mentioned event
realignments. Partially offsetting the decrease were increases in television broadcast, ancillary
rights, sponsorship, suite and hospitality revenue for certain events held during Speedweeks at
Daytona.
Food, beverage and merchandise revenue decreased approximately $0.3 million, or 2.8 percent, during
the three months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The
decrease is attributable to slightly lower catering revenue and vendor rights fees during certain
events held during Speedweeks at Daytona and certain other non-event related merchandise sales.
Prize and point fund monies and NASCAR sanction fees decreased approximately $1.0 million, or 2.9
percent, during the three months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the
prior year. The decrease for the three month period is substantially attributable to the previously
mentioned event realignments. To a lesser extent, reductions in certain prize and point fund monies
paid for the events held during Speedweeks at Daytona also contributed to the decrease. Partially
offsetting these decreases were increases in television broadcast rights fees for the NASCAR Sprint
Cup, Nationwide and Camping World Truck series events held during Speedweeks at Daytona during the
period as standard NASCAR sanctioning agreements require a specific percentage of television
broadcast rights fees to be paid to competitors.
Motorsports related expenses decreased by approximately $3.3 million, or 11.8 percent, during the
three months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The
decrease for the three month period is primarily attributable to cost containment, focused to
enhance margin without negatively impacting our guest experience, as well as the previously
mentioned event realignments. Motorsports related expenses as a percentage of combined admissions
and motorsports related revenue decreased to 18.3 percent for the three months ended February 28,
2011, as compared to 20.2 percent for the same period in the prior year. The margin increase is
primarily due to the previously discussed timing of events held and focused cost containment during
the three month period.
Food, beverage and merchandise expense increased approximately $0.3 million, or 3.2 percent, during
the three months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The
increase for the three month period is primarily attributable to certain costs associated with
catering and concessions during Speedweeks events at Daytona intended to enhance the guest
experience for both the consumer and corporate customers. Food, beverage and merchandise expense as
a percentage of food, beverage and merchandise revenue increased to approximately 72.7 percent for
the three months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to 68.5 percent for the same period in the
prior year. This decreased margin is attributable to the enhanced catering and concession
presentation as well as certain lower margin wholesale transactions during the quarter.
General and administrative expenses decreased approximately $2.4 million, or 9.8 percent, during
the three months ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior year.
Decreases in personnel related and various other costs driven by cost containment initiatives
contributed significantly to the decrease. General and administrative expenses as a percentage of
total revenues decreased to approximately 14.9 percent for the three months ended February 28,
2011, as compared to 16.1 percent for the
26
same period in the prior year. The increased margin during the three month period is primarily due
to the previously discussed cost containment initiatives.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased approximately $0.8 million, or 4.3 percent, during
the three months ended February 28, 2011 as compared to the same period of the prior year. The
increase was attributable to capital expenditures for our ongoing facility enhancements and related
initiatives.
The impairment of long-lived assets of approximately $2.9 million is primarily attributable to the
ongoing removal of certain assets in connection with the repaving of the track and the grandstand
enhancements at Phoenix and the grandstand enhancements at Kansas.
Interest income during the three months ended February 28, 2011 was comparable to the same period
of the prior year.
Interest expense decreased by approximately $0.5 million, or 11.5 percent, during the three months
ended February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior year. The decrease is
primarily due to the partial tender of senior notes due 2014 in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010
and increased capitalized interest during the current period. Partially offsetting these decreases
was interest on the private placement issued in January 2011 and higher interest rates and fees on
our new credit facility as compared to the same period in the prior year.
Interest rate swap expense during the three months ended February 28, 2010, totaled approximately
$1.3 million, representing the expense on the interest rate swap during the quarter and prior to
the issuance of the related private placement in January 2011 (see Future Liquidity Long-Term
Obligations and Commitments).
Equity in net loss from equity investments represents our 50.0 percent equity investment in
Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway during the three months ended February 28, 2010 and 2011,
respectively (see Equity and Other Investments).
Our effective income tax rate was approximately 39.3 percent for the three months ended February
28, 2011, as compared to 23.1 percent for the same respective period of the prior year (see Income
Taxes).
As a result of the foregoing, net income decreased approximately $4.0 million, or $0.08 per diluted
share, to approximately $21.4 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, during the three months ended
February 28, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior year.
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. At February 28, 2011, we had cash and cash
equivalents totaling approximately $102.0 million, $152.0 million principal amount of senior notes
outstanding, $50.0 million in borrowings on our $300.0 million revolving credit facility, a debt
service funding commitment of approximately $63.6 million principal amount related to the taxable
special obligation revenue (TIF) bonds issued by the Unified Government of Wyandotte
County/Kansas City, Kansas (Unified Government), $50.9 million principal term loan related to our
headquarters office building (the International Motorsports Center, or IMC); and $2.7 million
principal amount of other third party debt. At February 28, 2011, we had working capital of $79.8
million, primarily driven by $102.0 million of cash. At November 30, 2010, we had working capital
of $58.3 million, which was anchored by $84.2 million of cash.
Our liquidity is primarily generated from our ongoing motorsports operations, and we expect our
strong operating cash flow to continue in the future. In addition, as of February 28, 2011, we have
approximately $246.0 million available to draw upon under our recently negotiated 5-year, $300.0
million revolving credit facility, if needed. In March 2011, we repaid approximately $30.0 million
of the amounts outstanding on our credit facility. See Future Liquidity for additional
disclosures relating to our credit facility and certain risks that may affect our near term
operating results and liquidity.
As it relates to capital allocation, our top priority is capital expenditure for fan and competitor
safety as well as regulatory compliance. In addition, we remain focused on driving incremental
earnings by improving the fan experience with certain upgrades to our facilities
to increase ticket sales. We will also focus on maintaining modest debt levels.
27
Beyond that, we are also making investments in strategic projects that complement our core business
and provide value for our shareholders. Those options include acquisitions; new market development;
ancillary real estate development; and return of capital to shareholders through share repurchases
and dividends. For fiscal 2011, we anticipate approximately $30.0 million of open market share
repurchases and $8.6 million in annual dividends.
During the three months ended February 28, 2011, our significant cash flows items include the
following:
|
|
|
net cash provided by operating activities totaling approximately $19.8 million; |
|
|
|
|
capital expenditures totaling approximately $11.7 million; |
|
|
|
|
payments under the credit facility totaling approximately $52.0 million; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds of long-term debt totaling approximately $65.0 million; and |
|
|
|
|
reacquisition of previously issued common stock totaling approximately $2.4 million. |
Capital Expenditures
For the three months ended February 28, 2011, we spent approximately $11.7 million on capital
expenditures, which includes $9.6 million for projects at our existing facilities related to
construction of grandstand seating enhancements at Watkins Glen, Kansas and Talladega; designing
and engineering of grandstand seating enhancements and repaving at Daytona and Phoenix; and a
variety of other improvements and renovations. The remaining balance is associated with additional
capitalized spending for the Staten Island property. We spent approximately $23.9 million for the
three months ended February 28, 2010, which included $10.4 million for projects at our existing
facilities. For the remaining $13.5 million of spending, approximately $5.5 million is related to
the International Motorsports Center building which was funded from long-term restricted cash. The
remaining balance was associated with additional capitalized spending for the Staten Island
property and land purchases.
At February 28, 2011, we have approximately $52.9 million in capital projects currently approved
for our existing facilities. These projects include completion of track repaving at Phoenix,
grandstand seating enhancements and infield improvements at Michigan and Martinsville; grandstand
seating enhancements at Watkins Glen; improvements at various facilities for expansion of parking,
camping capacity and other uses; and a variety of other improvements and renovations to our
facilities that enable us to effectively compete with other sports venues for consumer and
corporate spending.
As a result of these currently approved projects and anticipated additional approvals in fiscal
2011, we expect our total fiscal 2011 capital expenditures at our existing facilities will be
approximately $65.0 million to $75.0 million depending on the timing of certain projects.
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, economic conditions, including those
affecting disposable consumer income and corporate budgets such as employment, business conditions,
credit availability, interest rates and taxation rates, may impact our ability to sell tickets to
our events and to secure revenues from corporate marketing partnerships. We believe that adverse
economic trends, particularly the sustained level of high unemployment and decreased consumer
confidence significantly contributed to the level of attendance for certain of our motorsports
entertainment events since the beginning of the current recession in 2008. We expect certain of
these trends to persist through fiscal 2011, which may have an impact on our business, especially
attendance-related and corporate partner revenues. This may negatively impact year-over-year
comparability for most all of our revenue categories for the full year, with the exception of
domestic broadcast and ancillary media rights fees.
Our cash flow from operations consists primarily of ticket, hospitality, merchandise, catering and
concession sales and contracted revenues arising from television broadcast rights and marketing
partnerships. Despite current economic conditions, we believe that cash flows from operations,
along with existing cash, cash equivalents and available borrowings under our credit facility, will
be sufficient to fund:
28
|
|
|
operations and approved capital projects at existing facilities for the foreseeable future; |
|
|
|
|
payments required in connection with the funding of the Unified Governments debt service
requirements related to the TIF bonds; |
|
|
|
|
payments related to our existing debt service commitments; |
|
|
|
|
equity contributions in connection with the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway development; |
|
|
|
|
any potential payments associated with our keepwell agreements; and |
|
|
|
|
payments for our annual dividend and share repurchases under our Stock Purchase Plan. |
We remain interested in pursuing further acquisition and/or development opportunities that
would increase shareholder value. The timing, size and success, as well as associated potential
capital commitments of which 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, over the longer term we believe that adequate debt
and equity financing will be available on satisfactory terms.
While we expect our strong operating cash flow 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 operating cash
flows. General economic conditions were significantly and negatively impacted by the September 11,
2001 terrorist attacks and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and could be similarly affected by any
future attacks or fear of such attacks, or by conditions resulting from other acts or prospects of
war. Any future attacks or wars or related threats could also increase our expenses related to
insurance, security or other related matters. Also, our financial results could be adversely
impacted by a widespread outbreak of a severe epidemiological crisis. The items discussed above
could have a singular or compounded material adverse affect on our financial success and future
cash flow.
Long-Term Obligations and Commitments
We have registered senior notes (the 5.4 percent Senior Notes) which bear interest at 5.4 percent
and are due April 2014, which require semi-annual interest payments on April 15 and October 15
through their maturity. The 5.4 percent Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part, at our
option, at any time or from time to time at redemption prices as defined in the indenture. Certain
of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are guarantors of the 5.4 percent Senior Notes. The 5.4
percent Senior Notes also contain various restrictive covenants. At February 28, 2011, outstanding
unsecured 5.4 percent Senior Notes totaled approximately $87.0 million, net of unamortized
discounts.
In January 2011 we completed an offering of approximately $65.0 million principal amount of senior
unsecured notes in a private placement (4.6 percent Senior Notes). These notes, which bear
interest at 4.6 percent and are due January 2021, require semi-annual interest payments on January
18 and July 18 through their maturity. The 4.6 percent Senior Notes may be redeemed in whole or in
part, at our option, at any time or from time to time at redemption prices as defined in the
indenture. Certain of our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries are guarantors of the 4.6 percent
Senior Notes. The 4.6 percent Senior Notes also contain various restrictive covenants. The deferred
financing fees, along with the deferred interest rate swap balance included in other comprehensive
loss, are treated as additional interest expense and are being amortized over the life of the 4.6
percent Senior Notes. At February 28, 2011, outstanding principal on the 4.6 percent Senior Notes
was approximately $65.0 million.
Debt associated with our wholly owned subsidiary, Raceway Associates, LLC, which owns and operates
Chicagoland Speedway and Route 66 Raceway, consists of the following:
|
|
|
Revenue bonds payable (4.8 percent Revenue Bonds) consisting of economic development
revenue bonds issued by the City of Joliet, Illinois to finance certain land improvements.
The 4.8 percent Revenue Bonds have an interest rate of 4.8 percent and a monthly payment of
$29,000 principal and interest. At February 28, 2011, outstanding principal on the 4.8
percent Revenue Bonds was approximately $1.5 million. |
|
|
|
|
Revenue bonds payable (6.8 percent Revenue Bonds) that are special service area revenue
bonds issued by the City of Joliet, Illinois to finance certain land improvements. The 6.8
percent Revenue Bonds are billed and paid as a special assessment on real estate taxes.
Interest payments are due on a semi-annual basis at 6.8 percent with principal payments due
annually. Final maturity of the 6.8 percent Revenue Bonds is January 2012. At February 28,
2011, outstanding principal on the 6.8 percent Revenue Bonds was approximately $1.2 million. |
29
The term loan (6.3 percent Term Loan), in connection with the construction of the International
Motorsports Center, has a 25 year term due October 2034, an interest rate of 6.3 percent, and a
current monthly payment of approximately $292,000. At February 28, 2011, the outstanding principal
on the 6.3 percent Term Loan was approximately $50.9 million.
At February 28, 2011, outstanding TIF bonds, in connection with the financing of construction of
Kansas Speedway, totaled approximately $63.6 million, net of the unamortized discount, which is
comprised of a $15.9 million principal amount, 6.2 percent term bond due December 1, 2017 and a
$49.7 million principal amount, 6.8 percent term bond due December 1, 2027. The TIF bonds are
repaid by the Unified Government with payments made in lieu of property taxes (Funding
Commitment) by our wholly owned subsidiary, Kansas Speedway Corporation. Principal (mandatory
redemption) payments per the Funding Commitment are payable by Kansas Speedway Corporation 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. Kansas Speedway Corporation granted a mortgage and security
interest in the Kansas project for its Funding Commitment obligation.
In November 2010, we entered into a $300.0 million revolving credit facility (2010 Credit
Facility). The 2010 Credit Facility contains a feature that allows us to increase the credit
facility to a total of $500.0 million, subject to certain conditions. Upon execution of the 2010
Credit Facility, we terminated our then existing $300.0 million revolving credit facility. The 2010
Credit Facility is scheduled to mature in November 2015, and accrues interest at LIBOR plus 150.0
225.0 basis points, depending on the better of our debt rating as determined by specified rating
agencies or our leverage ratio. The 2010 Credit Facility contains various restrictive
covenants. At February 28, 2011, we had approximately $50.0 million outstanding under the 2010
Credit Facility. In March 2011, we repaid approximately $30.0 million of the amounts outstanding on
the 2010 Credit Facility.
In October 2002, the Unified Government issued subordinate sales tax special obligation revenue
bonds (2002 STAR Bonds) totaling approximately $6.3 million to reimburse us 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
Kansas Speedways boundaries and are not our obligation. Kansas Speedway Corporation has agreed to
guarantee the payment of principal, any required premium and interest on the 2002 STAR Bonds. At
February 28, 2011, the Unified Government had approximately $2.6 million in 2002 STAR Bonds
outstanding. Under a keepwell agreement, we have agreed to provide financial assistance to Kansas
Speedway Corporation, if necessary, to support its guarantee of the 2002 STAR Bonds.
Speedway Developments
In light of NASCARs 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, which could include
Denver, Colorado, the Northwest U.S. and the New York Metropolitan area.
Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway
In December 2009, Kansas Entertainment, a 50/50 joint venture of Penn, a subsidiary of Penn
National Gaming, Inc. and KSDC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ISC, was selected by the Kansas
Lottery Gaming Facility Review Board to develop and operate a gaming facility in the Northeast Zone
in Wyandotte County, Kansas. In February 2010, Kansas Entertainment received the final approval
under the Kansas Expanded Lottery Act, along with its gaming license from the Kansas Racing and
Gaming Commission. Construction of the Hollywood-themed and branded entertainment destination
facility, overlooking turn two of Kansas Speedway, began in April 2010 with a planned opening in
the first half of 2012.
The initial phase of this project, including certain changes to the scope and mix of gaming
operations and amenities approved by the Kansas Lottery Commission in August 2010, features an
82,000 square foot casino with 2,000 slot machines and 52 table games (including 12 poker tables),
a 1,253 space parking structure as well as a sports-themed bar, dining and entertainment options.
Kansas Entertainment anticipates funding the initial phase of the development with equity
contributions from each partner and potentially third party financing. KSDC and Penn will share
equally in the cost of developing and constructing the facility. We currently estimate that our
share of capitalized development costs for the project, excluding our contribution of land, will be
approximately $155.0 million. Through February 28, 2011, we have funded approximately $39.3 million
of these capitalized development costs and expect to fund the remaining amount through the opening
of the casino in fiscal 2012. In addition, we expect to continue to incur certain other start up
and related costs through opening, a number of which will be expensed through equity in net loss
from equity investments. Penn is the managing member of Kansas Entertainment and is responsible for
the development and operation of the casino.
Daytona Development Project
We are exploring development of a mixed-use entertainment destination development on 71 acres
located directly across International Speedway Boulevard from our Daytona motorsports entertainment
facility.
30
The initial development includes the approximately 188,000 square foot office building, the
International Motorsports Center, completed in November 2009. The IMC houses the headquarters of
ISC, NASCAR, Grand American and their related businesses, and additional space for other tenants.
The IMC was financed in July 2008 through a $51.3 million construction term loan obtained by our
wholly owned subsidiary, which was created to own and operate the office building.
Approved land use entitlements for the remaining project allow for a 265,000 square foot mixed-use
retail/dining/entertainment area, plus a hotel, residential and additional office space.
Development of the balance of the project is dependent on several factors, including lease
arrangements, availability of project financing and overall market conditions.
While we continue to believe that a mixed-use retail/dining/entertainment area located across from
our Daytona facility will be a successful project, given the current economic conditions and the
uncertainty associated with the future, development of the project will depend on its economic
feasibility.
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.
During the three months ended February 28, 2011, there have been no material changes in our market
risk exposures.
We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates in the normal course of business. Our
interest income and expense are most sensitive to changes in the general level of U.S. interest
rates and the LIBOR rate. In order to manage this exposure, from time to time we use a combination
of debt instruments, including the use of derivatives in the form of interest rate swap and lock
agreements. We do not enter into any derivatives for trading purposes.
The objective of our asset management activities is to provide an adequate level of interest income
and liquidity to fund operations and capital expansion, while minimizing market risk. We utilize
overnight sweep accounts and short-term investments to minimize the interest rate risk. We do not
believe that our interest rate risk related to our cash equivalents and short-term investments is
material due to the nature of the investments.
Our objective in managing our interest rate risk on our debt is to negotiate the most favorable
interest rate structures that we can and, as market conditions evolve, adjust our balance of fixed
and variable rate debt to optimize our overall borrowing costs within reasonable risk parameters.
Interest rate swaps and locks are used from time to time to convert a portion of our debt portfolio
from a variable rate to a fixed rate or from a fixed rate to a variable rate as well as to lock in
certain rates for future debt issuances.
The following analysis provides quantitative information regarding our exposure to interest rate
risk. We utilize valuation models to evaluate the sensitivity of the fair value of financial
instruments with exposure to market risk that assume instantaneous, parallel shifts in interest
rate yield curves. There are certain limitations inherent in the sensitivity analyses presented,
primarily due to the assumption that interest rates change instantaneously. In addition, the
analyses are unable to reflect the complex market reactions that normally would arise from the
market shifts modeled.
We have various debt instruments that are issued at fixed rates. These financial instruments, which
have a fixed rate of interest, are exposed to fluctuations in fair value resulting from changes in
market interest rates. The fair values of long-term debt are based on quoted market prices at the
date of measurement. Our credit facilities approximate fair value as they bear interest rates that
approximate market. At February 28, 2011, we had approximately $50.0 million of variable debt
outstanding; therefore, a hypothetical increase in interest rates by 1.0 percent would result in an
increase in our annual interest expense of approximately $0.5 million.
At February, 28, 2011, the fair value of our total long-term debt as determined by quotes from
financial institutions was approximately $312.1 million. The potential decrease in fair value
resulting from a hypothetical 10.0 percent shift in interest rates would be approximately $5.4
million at February 28, 2011.
Credit risk arises from the possible inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their
contracts on a net basis. However, we minimize such risk exposures for these instruments by
limiting counterparties to large banks and financial institutions that meet established credit
guidelines. We do not expect to incur any losses as a result of counterparty default.
31
ITEM 4. DISCLOSURE CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Subsequent to February 28, 2011, and prior to the filing of this report, we conducted an evaluation
of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures under
the supervision of and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive
Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on that evaluation, our management, including the Chief
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures, subject to limitations as noted below, were effective at February 28, 2011, and during
the period prior to the filing of this report.
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 last fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to
materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect
that our disclosure control procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all
fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable,
not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent
limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that
all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

We have a share repurchase program (Stock Purchase Plan) under which we are authorized to
purchase up to $250.0 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 February 28, 2011, we have purchased 5,304,601 shares of our
Class A common shares, for a total of approximately $223.2 million. Included in these totals are
the purchases of 81,988 shares of our Class A common shares during the quarter ended February 28,
2011, at an average cost of approximately $29.21 per share (including commissions), for a total of
approximately $2.4 million. These transactions occurred in open market purchases and pursuant to a
trading plan under Rule 10b5-1. At February 28, 2011, we have approximately $26.8 million remaining
repurchase authority under the current Stock Purchase Plan.
