INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY CORPORATION REPORTS FINANCIAL
RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR OF FISCAL 2010
RESULTS FOR THE FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR OF FISCAL 2010
Provides 2011 Full Year Financial Guidance
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. January 27, 2011 International Speedway Corporation (NASDAQ Global
Select Market: ISCA; OTC Bulletin Board: ISCB) (ISC) today reported financial results for its
fiscal fourth quarter and full-year ended November 30, 2010.
We ended 2010 on a solid note, stated ISC Chief Executive Officer Lesa France Kennedy. We
witnessed the closest finish in the history of the NASCAR Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship.
ISC ended the year not only with solid financial results but also with a stronger capital
structure. And, with a gradually improving economic outlook, we will carry this positive momentum
into 2011. I have high expectations for ISC and NASCAR.
Ms. France Kennedy continued, The anticipation for the events surrounding Speedweeks at
Daytona, with the new racing surface, is at an all-time high. These events, culminating with the
53rd running of the Daytona 500, will provide a thundering launch to the 2011
motorsports season and undoubtedly generate solid interest in NASCAR. The many initiatives that
ISC and other industry stakeholders, in particular NASCAR, have implemented over the past two
seasons, we believe, will begin to pay dividends.
We have made it easier for our guests to attend ISCs events with ticket pricing tiers for
all income levels. Also, many ISC facilities are providing our fans with a more comfortable
experience at the track with widened seat options. On track, NASCARs recent changes to improve
competition have succeeded, resulting in racing as competitive as it has ever been. These changes
along with various new initiatives that are underway to drive interest in the sport have and will
resonate with the consumer. Finally, with an improved outlook, we anticipate to benefit from the
consumers eventual renewed confidence in the economy.
Fourth Quarter Comparison
Total revenues for the fourth quarter decreased to approximately $191.0 million, compared to
revenues of approximately $201.8 million in the prior-year period. Operating income was
approximately $39.5 million during the period compared to approximately $50.5 million in the fourth
quarter of fiscal 2009.

ISC REPORTS FISCAL 2010 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS | PAGE 2 |
In addition to the macroeconomic challenges, quarter-over-quarter
comparability was impacted by:
| During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recorded approximately $7.8 million, or $0.10 per diluted share, non-cash impairment charge on long-lived assets. By comparison, the 2009 fiscal fourth quarter includes non-cash impairment charges of approximately $2.9 million, or $0.04 per diluted share. | ||
| During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recognized approximately $7.3 million, or $0.09 per diluted share in expenses related to an interest rate swap. In the comparable period in 2009, the Company recognized approximately $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in similar expense. | ||
| During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recognized approximately $6.5 million in expenses, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to a partial redemption of $150 million principal 5.4% Senior Notes maturing in 2014. | ||
| During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010, the Company recognized approximately $270,000 net loss from equity investments related to certain start up costs associated with its Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway. | ||
| The 2009 fiscal fourth quarter included approximately $15.5 million, or $0.35 per diluted share, equity in net loss from equity investments which represents ISCs portion of the results from its 50.0 percent indirect interest in Motorsports Authentics and includes a non-cash charge of approximately $13.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for further impairment of the investment. |
Net income for the fourth quarter was approximately $15.2 million, or $0.32 per diluted share,
compared to net income of approximately $9.0 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, in the prior year
period. Excluding the operating results from the Companys equity investment; the impairment of
long-lived assets; interest rate swap expense; and the loss on early redemption of debt, non-GAAP
(defined below) net income for the fourth quarter of 2010 was approximately $28.5 million, or $0.59
per diluted share. Non-GAAP net income for the fourth quarter of 2009 was approximately $30.6
million, or $0.63 per diluted share.
Year-to-Date Comparison
For the year-ended November 30, 2010, total revenues were approximately $645.4 million,
compared to approximately $693.2 million in 2009. Operating income for the fiscal year was
approximately $122.2 million compared to approximately $147.8 million in the prior year.
Year-over-year comparability was impacted by:
| An IZOD IndyCar series event held at Richmond and a NASCAR Camping World Truck series event held at Auto Club Speedway in fiscal 2009 were not held in fiscal 2010. Partially offsetting this was a |

NASCAR Camping World Truck series event held at Darlington in fiscal 2010 that was not held in fiscal 2009. | |||
| Accelerated depreciation of approximately $1.0 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, in fiscal 2009 for certain office and related buildings in Daytona Beach associated with the Companys previously announced Daytona development project. | ||
| In fiscal 2010, the Company recognized non-cash impairments of long-lived assets totaling approximately $8.9 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. In fiscal 2009, the Company recognized non-cash impairments of long-lived assets totaling approximately $16.7 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, primarily attributable to the decrease in the carrying value of its Staten Island property. | ||
| During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized approximately $23.9 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, in expenses related to an interest rate swap. In fiscal 2009, the Company recognized approximately $4.3 million, or $0.05 per diluted share, in similar expense. | ||
| During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized approximately $6.5 million in expenses, or $0.08 per diluted share, related to a partial redemption of $150 million principal 5.4% Senior Notes maturing in 2014. | ||
| During fiscal 2010, the Company recognized approximately $1.9 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, net loss from equity investments related to certain start up costs associated with its Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway. | ||
| In fiscal 2009, the approximately $77.6 million, or $1.63 per diluted share, equity in net loss from equity investments represents ISCs portion of the results from its 50.0 percent indirect interest in Motorsports Authentics and includes a total non-cash impairment charge of approximately $69.3 million, or $1.43 per diluted share. | ||
| As a result of the definitive settlement agreement the Company reached last year with the Internal Revenue Service (Service) and based on favorable settlements and on-going discussions with certain states, the Company de-recognized potential interest and penalties totaling approximately $6.3 million or $0.13 per diluted share, in fiscal 2010. This de-recognition of interest and penalties was recognized as a reduction in income tax expense in ISCs consolidated statement of operations. During fiscal 2009, the Company recognized interest income, net of tax, of approximately $8.9 million, or $0.18 per diluted share, as a result of the Settlement with the Service. |
Net income for the year-ended November 30, 2010, was approximately $54.5 million, or $1.13 per
diluted share, compared to net income of approximately $6.8 million, or $0.14 per diluted share, in
2009. Excluding discontinued operations, the operating results from the Companys equity
investments; accelerated depreciation; the impairment of long-lived assets; the interest rate swap
expense; the loss on early redemption of debt; and the interest income from the IRS and related
state tax settlements, non-GAAP (defined below) net income for the year-ended
ISC REPORTS FISCAL 2010 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS | PAGE 4 |
ended November 30,
2010, was approximately $73.2 million, or $1.52 per diluted share. This is
compared to non-GAAP net income for the year-ended November 30, 2009 of approximately $90.7
million, or $1.86 per diluted share.
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.
The adjustments for 2009 relate to Motorsports Authentics equity in net loss from equity
investment, which includes the non-cash impairment charge; accelerated depreciation; impairment of
long-lived assets primarily attributable to the decrease in the carrying value of its Staten Island
property; interest rate swap expense; and interest income related to the previously discussed
Settlement with the Service.
The adjustments for 2010 relate to Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway equity in net loss
from equity investment; impairment of long-lived assets; interest rate swap expense; the loss on
early redemption of debt; and the de-recognition of potential interest and penalties associated
with certain state tax settlements.
The Company believes such non-GAAP information is useful and meaningful, and is used by
investors to assess its core operations, which consist of the ongoing promotion of racing events at
its 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 its continuing core operations at its motorsports entertainment
facilities. The Company believe that such non-GAAP information improves the comparability of the
operating results and provides a better understanding of the performance of its core operations for
the periods presented. The Company uses 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. The Company 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.

From a marketing partnership perspective, the Company sold all of its 2010 NASCAR Sprint
Cup and Nationwide series event entitlements and was within three percentage points of achieving
its gross marketing partnership revenue target for the year. For fiscal 2011, ISC has agreements
in place for approximately 76 percent of its gross marketing partnership revenue target and has
sold 15 of 20 available NASCAR Sprint Cup series entitlements and 12 of 16 available Nationwide
series event entitlements. This is compared to last year at this time when it had approximately 77
percent of its gross marketing partnership revenue target and had entitlements for four Sprint Cup
and three Nationwide races either open or not announced.
Corporate marketing support for our industry remains strong with an increased level of
interest from our partners, stated Ms. France Kennedy. We are working hard to secure all 2011
Sprint Cup and Nationwide
entitlements at rates equal to last year. While pricing on our inventory has stabilized, the
corporate budgets are not back to pre-recession levels. Fortunately we have the largest portfolio
of corporate partner relationships of any promoter in the country to work with. We continue to
believe that revenues from our corporate partners will grow over the long term.
External Growth, Financing-Related and Other Initiatives
Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway
The initial phase of the Hollywood-themed and branded entertainment destination facility will
feature an 82,000 square foot casino with 2,000 slot machines and 52 table games, a 1,253 space
parking structure as well as a sports-themed bar, dining and entertainment options. Kansas
Entertainment, LLC, the Companys 50/50 joint venture with Penn National Gaming, Inc., anticipates
funding the initial phase of the development, which is well underway on schedule and on budget,
with a mix of equity contributions from each partner as well third party financing which it is
currently pursuing.
ISC REPORTS FISCAL 2010 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS | PAGE 6 |
The Company currently estimates that its share of capitalized development costs for the
project, excluding its contribution of the land, will be approximately $155.0 million. In addition,
the Company expects to continue to incur certain other start up and related costs through opening
in the first half of 2012, a number of which will be expensed as equity in net loss from equity
investments.
Staten Island
In connection with ISCs efforts to sell its 676-acre parcel of property located in Staten
Island, New York, on December 6, 2010, the Company announced the termination of the Agreement that
it had entered into with KB Holdings in November 2009 for the sale of its Staten Island property
(the Agreement). Upon execution of this Agreement, ISC received a non-refundable $1.0 million
payment. KB Holdings did not fulfill the terms of the second amendment to the Agreement to close
the transaction on or before November 30, 2010. Subsequent to the termination of the Agreement,
the Company, in addition to continuing discussions with KB Holdings, is pursuing discussions with
alternative buyers for the Staten Island property.
Liquidity
In November 2010, the Company entered into a new five year, $300 million revolving credit
facility. Pricing on the facility is based on a pricing grid ranging from LIBOR plus 150 basis
points to 225 basis points, depending on the better of ISCs debt rating or its leverage ratio.
Currently, interest accrues at a rate of LIBOR plus 175 basis points. On a comparable basis, the
previous credit facility, negotiated in a dramatically different credit market, ranged from LIBOR
plus 30 basis points to 80 basis points, based on ISCs highest debt rating. Upon termination of
the previous credit facility, it accrued interest at LIBOR plus 40 basis points.
In November 2010, the Company completed a cash partial tender offer for approximately $63.0
million of its $150 million 2004 Senior Notes, including the payment of a tender premium of
approximately $6.0 million
and accrued interest. At November 30, 2010, outstanding unsecured 2004 Senior Notes totaled
approximately $87.0 million, net of unamortized discounts.
In January 2011, to refinance the tendered 2004 Senior Notes, the Company completed an
offering of $65.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.63 percent Senior Notes due 2021 in a
private placement. The deferred financing fees, along with the deferred interest rate swap balance
included in accumulated other comprehensive loss, will be treated as additional interest expense
and will be amortized over the life of the notes, effectively increasing the yield on the 2021
Senior Notes from 4.63 percent to approximately 6.4 percent.
As previously discussed, 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 2004
Senior Notes that matured in April 2009.
ISC REPORTS FISCAL 2010 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS | PAGE 7 |
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 expiration in February 2011.
Beginning in the fiscal third quarter 2010, the Company, based on the Federal Reserve Bank
indicating that it would embark on a policy of quantitative easing to stimulate economic growth,
started to unwind its swap position. As a result and based on its financial position and reduction
in the anticipated debt issuance from $150.0 million to $65.0 million, the Company discontinued the
cash flow hedge and settled the related liability for approximately $39.0 million. Also, at
November 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $6.6 million, net of tax, deferred in other
comprehensive income associated with this interest rate swap which will be amortized over life of
the 2021 Senior Notes.
Capital Spending
Capital expenditures totaled approximately $105.9 million for fiscal 2010, which includes
approximately $85.7 million for projects at ISCs existing facilities related to the track repaving
and other projects at Daytona, construction of a new media center at Michigan as part of the
terrace suite redevelopment project; construction of a new state of the art LED leader board and
video screens at Richmond; construction of grandstand seating enhancements at Michigan and
Talladega; and a variety of other improvements and renovations. The remaining balance of
approximately $20.2 million is related to the International Motorsports Center building which was
funded from approximately $9.1 million in long-term restricted cash; the purchase of land in
Daytona; and additional capitalized spending for the Staten Island property. In comparison,
capital expenditures for fiscal 2009 totaled approximately $113.7 million, which included
approximately $32.2 million in long-term restricted cash used for the International Motorsports
Center construction.
At November 30, 2010, the Company had approximately $55.9 million remaining in capital
projects currently approved for its existing facilities. These projects include the track repaving
at Phoenix; grandstand seating enhancements and infield improvements at Michigan and Watkins Glen;
parking improvements at Daytona; infield enhancements at Talladega; installation of track lighting
and track enhancements at Kansas; improvements at various facilities for expansion of parking,
camping capacity and other uses; and a variety of
other improvements and renovations to its facilities that enable it 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, the Company expects its total fiscal 2011 capital expenditures at its existing
facilities will be approximately $65 million to $75 million depending on the timing of certain
projects. The Company reviews the capital expenditure program periodically and modifies it as
required to meet current business needs.
Share Repurchase Program
For fiscal 2010, the Company purchased 307,886 shares of its Class A stock for approximately
$8.1 million, bringing the total number of shares purchased from December 2006 through November
2010 to approximately 5.2 million shares. ISC currently has approximately $29.2 million in
remaining capacity on its $250 million authorization.
ISC REPORTS FISCAL 2010 FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL-YEAR RESULTS | PAGE 8 |
Based on current projections, the Company
anticipates seeking approval from its Board of Directors to again buy shares consistently over the
year, possibly up to an amount equal to the remaining capacity. On a quarterly basis and pursuant
to the trading plan under Rule10b5-1, the Company reviews and adjusts, if necessary, the parameters
of its Stock Purchase Plans.
Fiscal 2011 Financial Outlook
For fiscal 2011, ISC anticipates total revenues for the full year will range between $635
million and $650 million. Full year non-GAAP earnings are expected to range between $1.60 and
$1.80 per diluted share after-tax, assuming the Company moves forward with approximately $30
million in share repurchases. From an earnings perspective the fourth quarter will be the
Companys most significant, followed by the first, third and second quarter.
ISCs 2011 guidance excludes any future loss on impairment of long-lived assets which could be
recorded as part of capital improvements resulting in removal of assets not fully depreciated; gain
or loss on the sale of its Staten Island property and unanticipated further impairment of the
property; and any income statement impact related to the Kansas Casino development.
ISC expects non-GAAP earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization
(EBITDA)1 margins, operating margins, and effective income tax rates for the 2011 full
year to range as follows:
Year | ||||
Ending | ||||
11/30/2011 | ||||

35% - 36 | % | ||
Operating margin |
22% - 24 | % | ||

In closing, Ms. France Kennedy added, We are always focused on strengthening ISC. Our
top priorities, supporting our desire to be the world leader in motorsports entertainment by
providing thrilling and innovative at track experiences, are to maintain a strong financial
position, improve operating margins and continue a disciplined capital allocation strategy. Over
the years, because of our focused approach, we have maintained a solid liquidity position and our
cost of borrowings remain relatively low. The recent steps we have taken finalizing a credit
facility, tendering notes and refinancing with lower cost, longer term debt continues our
ongoing efforts to further strengthen our financial position. That has been historically a key
attribute of ISCs success and one that differentiates us from our peers.
