Each filer's latest fiscal year as stored by the nightly crawl; fiscal year ends differ across the universe. A metric ranks only filers for which it is computable from filed facts. Ties split; a rank reads "better than N% of filers" in the metric's own direction. Descriptive and educational, not a rating.
Earnings quality
latest fiscal year ending 2025-12-31 · accruals and cash conversion as filedPer fiscal year from filed facts: cash conversion = operating cash flow / net income (net income > 0); cash-flow accrual ratio = (net income - operating cash flow) / average total assets; balance-sheet accrual ratio = change in net operating assets / average net operating assets, NOA = (assets - cash) - (liabilities - debt). Descriptive; a missing input yields a missing ratio. High accrual ratios and cash conversion well below one are the measures the accruals literature associates with less persistent earnings; they are screens to read the cash-flow statement with, not conclusions. The per-year series is part of Pro risk analysis.

19. CONTINGENCIES We are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of conducting business. We carry insurance for workers' compensation claims from our employees and general liability for claims from independent contractors, customers, and guests. We are self-insured up to an aggregate stop loss for our general liability and workers' compensation coverages. We review all litigation on an ongoing basis when making accrual and disclosure decisions. For certain legal proceedings, we cannot reasonably estimate losses or a range of loss, if any, particularly for proceedings that are in the early stages of development or where the plaintiffs seek indeterminate damages. Various factors, including but not limited to, the outcome of potentially lengthy discovery and the resolution of important factual questions, may need to be determined before probability can be established or before a loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. In accordance with current accounting standards for loss contingencies and based upon information currently known to us, we establish reserves for litigation when it is probable that a loss associated with a claim or proceeding has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. When no amount within the range of loss is a better estimate than any other amount, we accrue the minimum amount of the estimable loss. To the extent that such litigation against us may have an exposure to a loss in excess of t …

18. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate: Restricted Cash Our restricted cash accounts that are held in interest-bearing accounts qualify for Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which includes unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Debt The fair value of the Companys 2031 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes, and 2027 Senior Notes are estimated based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active and as such are Level 2 measurements. The fair values of the Company's Term Loan B-1, Term Loan A, and Revolver under the Credit Agreement approximate the gross carrying value of the variable rate debt and as such are Level 2 measurements. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values by input level of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: December 31, 2025 (in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial assets: Restricted cash $ 87.9 $ 87.9 $ 87.9 $ $ Financial liabilities: Term Loan B-1 284.2 285.8 285.8 Term Loan A 1,107.9 1,112.3 1,112.3 Revolver 657.0 657.0 657.0 2027 Senior Notes 59 …

All such races are conducted under the regulations of each states respective regulatory agency, as applicable, and no director or employee receives any extra or special benefit with regard to having his or her horses selected to run in races or in connection with the actual running of races. There is no material financial statement impact attributable to directors or employees who may have interests in horses racing at our racetracks.

All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. We consolidate all subsidiaries in which we have a controlling financial interest and variable interest entities (""VIEs"") for which we or one of our consolidated subsidiaries is the primary beneficiary.

13. FAIR VALUE OF ASSETS AND LIABILITIES We endeavor to utilize the best available information in measuring fair value. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate. Restricted Cash Our restricted cash accounts held in money market and interest-bearing accounts qualify for Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy, which includes unadjusted quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets. Debt The fair value of the Companys 2031 Senior Notes, 2030 Senior Notes, 2028 Senior Notes, and 2027 Senior Notes are estimated based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical or similar liabilities in markets that are not active and as such are Level 2 measurements. The fair values of the Company's Term Loan B-1, Term Loan A, and Revolver under the Credit Agreement approximate the gross carrying value of the variable rate debt and as such are Level 2 measurements. The carrying amounts and estimated fair values by input level of the Company's financial instruments are as follows: June 30, 2026 (in millions) Carrying Amount Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Financial assets: Restricted cash $ 99 $ 99 $ 99 $ $ Financial liabilities: Term Loan B-1 283 284 284 Term Loan A 1,078 1,082 1,082 Revolver 329 329 329 2027 Senior Notes 599 599 599 2028 Senio …

"4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill was $900 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. We performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of April 1, 2026, and no adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill was required. We assessed goodwill for impairment by performing qualitative or quantitative analyses for each reporting unit. We concluded that the fair values of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values, and therefore no impairments were identified. Other intangible assets are comprised of the following: June 30, 2026 December 31, 2025 (in millions) Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Definite-lived intangible assets $ 98 $ (47) $ 51 $ 96 $ (42) $ 54 Indefinite-lived intangible assets 2,462 2,461 Total $ 2,513 $ 2,515 The Company continues to monitor the regulatory and competitive environment and the impact on the results of operations of Presque Isle Downs and Casino (""Presque Isle""). Future regulatory changes and increased competition could have a negative impact on the estimates and assumptions utilized in our asset impairment assessments. These potential impacts could increase the risk of a future impairment of assets at Presque Isle. We performed our annual indefinite-lived intangible assets impairment analysis as of April 1, 2026. We assessed our indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment by performing qualitative or quant …

5. INCOME TAXES The Companys effective income tax rates of 26.2% for the three months and 26.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2026 were higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from state income taxes and non-deductible expenses. The Companys effective income tax rate of 25.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from state income taxes and nondeductible officers compensation. The Companys effective income tax rate of 24.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2025 was higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21.0% primarily resulting from state income taxes and non-deductible officers compensation, partially offset by tax benefits from the remeasurement of deferred income tax liabilities, as a result of certain entity classification elections that were made in the first quarter of 2025, which decreased income attributable to states with higher tax rates compared to prior year. …
