Calder Land Sale
On June 17, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of 115.7 acres of land near Calder Casino ("Calder") for $291.0 million or approximately $2.5 million per acre to Link Logistics Real Estate, a Blackstone portfolio company. The Company received cash proceeds of $279.0 million which was net of $12.0 million of transaction costs. We recognized a gain of $274.6 million on the sale of the land, which is included in Other income in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The gain consisted of cash proceeds of $279.0 million offset by the carrying value of the assets sold of $4.4 million. The proceeds were held by a qualifying intermediary in an interest-bearing account until they could be utilized in a like-kind exchange.
The Company utilized proceeds and interest earned from the sale to purchase property as part of the P2E Transaction and to invest in other replacement properties that qualify as Internal Revenue Code §1031 transactions to defer the federal income tax on the gain on the Calder land sale. The Company completed one reverse like-kind exchange in June 2022 involving our $9.9 million investment in real property for the Derby City Gaming Downtown facility in Louisville, Kentucky, and one reverse like-kind exchange in December 2022 involving our $24.9 million investment in real property for the Terre Haute Casino Resort in Vigo County, Indiana ("Terre Haute"). The remaining proceeds were used to execute a forward like-kind exchange with the P2E Transaction to purchase real property associated with del Lago in November 2022.
As of December 31, 2022, the Company recorded a $76.0 million deferred tax liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
As of December 31, 2021, the assets sold as part of the Calder land sale were classified as held for sale on the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Calder's operations and assets are included in the Gaming segment in our consolidated results.
Assets Held for Sale
On September 29, 2021, the Company announced an agreement to sell the 326-acre property in Arlington Heights, Illinois (the "Arlington Property"), to the Chicago Bears for $197.2 million.
The Company has classified certain assets of Arlington International Racecourse ("Arlington") totaling $82.0 million and $81.5 million as held for sale as of December 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Arlington’s operations and assets are included in All Other in our consolidated results.
The Company executed a forward like-kind exchange transaction by purchasing certain property as part of the P2E Transaction for $197.2 million. An exchange accommodation titleholder ("EAT"), a type of variable interest entity, was used to facilitate this reverse like-kind exchange. The Company determined that it is the primary beneficiary of the EAT, thus the property held by the EAT has been consolidated and recorded in Property and equipment, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. On February 15, 2023, the Company closed on the sale and fully realized all the planned tax savings.
Discontinued Operations
On January 9, 2018, the Company completed the sale of its mobile gaming subsidiary, Big Fish Games, Inc. ("Big Fish Games"). The Big Fish Games business met the criteria for discontinued operation presentation. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss), Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements reflect Big Fish Games as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
On May 22, 2020, we entered into an agreement in principle to settle Cheryl Kater v. Churchill Downs Incorporated and Manasa Thimmegowda v. Big Fish Games, Inc. The $124.0 million settlement was paid on March 25, 2021. During 2022, the Company received a $26.0 million tax refund related to the capital loss associated with this settlement.
