For these aforementioned music festivals we earned a facility rental and certain other fees, and recognized revenues and expenses from the sale of concession operations; |
• | For fiscal 2015, we recognized non-recurring revenue and expense related to the transition of merchandise operations of approximately $10.4 million and $12.3 million, respectively. Included in this amount were approximately $6.4 million for inventory sold to Fanatics and $4.0 million of wholesale transactions by MA. These revenues drove a total of approximately $12.3 million in expense including product costs associated with the non-recurring transactions, non-recurring costs related to the transition of trackside merchandise operations to Fanatics, as well as partial period operating expenses incurred prior to the transition of Americrown and MA merchandise operations, for which there was no related revenue .

• | Capital expenditures for existing facilities up to $500.0 million from fiscal 2017 through fiscal 2021. This allocation will fund a reinvestment at Phoenix, as well as all other maintenance and guest experience capital expenditures for the remaining existing facilities. In 2017 we began the redevelopment of Phoenix (see “The ISM Raceway Project Powered by DC Solar”) and the infield at Richmond (see "Richmond Raceway") with completion for both projects targeted in late 2018, therefore, we expect spending to be somewhat front-loaded. While many components of these expected projects will exceed weighted average cost of capital, considerable maintenance capital expenditures, approximately $40.0 million to $60.0 million annually, will likely result in a blended return of this invested capital in the low-to-mid single digits; |
• | In addition to the aforementioned $500.0 million in capital expenditures for existing facilities, we expect we will have an additional $95.0 million of capital expenditures, exclusive of capitalized interest and net of public incentives, related to ONE DAYTONA. Construction for ONE DAYTONA commenced in fiscal 2016. In April 2017, our Board approved an additional approximate $12.0 million of capital expenditures to further develop the previously purchased Volusia Point in 2011. Volusia Point is our retail property adjacent to ONE DAYTONA and will be re-branded the Shoppes at ONE DAYTONA (see "ONE DAYTONA"). As a result of this additional capital expenditure approval, the total investment in ONE DAYTONA, exclusive of capitalized interest and net of anticipated public incentives, will be approximately $107.0 million. We expect the returns of this investment to exceed our weighted average cost of capital. |
• | Return of capital to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases is a significant pillar of our capital allocation. In fiscal 2017 we increased our dividend approximately 4.9 percent to $0.43 per share. We expect dividends to increase in 2018 and beyond, by approximately four to five percent annually. For the year ended November 30, 2017, we repurchased 979,328 shares of Class A common stock on the open market at a weighted average share price of $35.76 for a total of approximately $35.0 million. At November 30, 2017, we had approximately $171.6 million remaining repurchase authority under the current $530.0 million Stock Purchase Plan. |
• | operations of our major motorsports facilities for the foreseeable future; |
• | ONE DAYTONA (see "ONE DAYTONA"); |
• | the previously discussed capital allocation plans for our existing facilities; |
• | payments required in connection with the funding of the Unified Government's debt service requirements related to the TIF bonds (see "Long-Term Obligations and Commitments" below); |
• | payments related to our other existing debt service commitments; |
• | contributions in connection with any future expansion of the Hollywood Casino at Kansas Speedway; and |
• | our annual dividend and share repurchases under our Stock Purchase Plan. |
• | In fiscal 2017, we recorded a non-recurring tax benefit of approximately $48.2 million related to the worthlessness of ISC's investment in MA (see "Income Taxes"). As a result, our cash position improved approximately $24.6 million as of November 30, 2017. In the first quarter 2018, we expect to receive a refund of estimated payments made during 2017 of approximately $19.8 million. The balance of approximately $3.9 million will be received in subsequent periods; and |
• | In December 2017, Congress passed the Tax Cut and Jobs Act ("Tax Reform"). We expect Tax Reform to favorably impact our future liquidity, primarily a result of the lower single corporate tax rate from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent, which will lower our effective tax rate and annual tax liability. Additionally, Tax Reform provides for 100.0 percent expensing of certain capital investments through 2022 (see "Income Taxes"). We will continue to evaluate the details of Tax Reform and the impact on ISC. |

DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS: International Speedway Corporation (“ISC”), including its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively the “Company”), is a leading promoter of motorsports themed entertainment activities in the United States. As of November 30, 2017, the Company owned and/or operated 13 of the nation’s major motorsports entertainment facilities as follows:
In 2017, these motorsports entertainment facilities promoted well over 100 stock car, open wheel, sports car, truck, motorcycle and other racing events, including:
The general nature of the Company’s business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. The Company’s motorsports themed event operations consist principally of racing events at these major motorsports entertainment facilities, which, in total, currently have approximately 761,000 grandstand seats and 560 suites. The Company also conducts, either through operations of the particular facility or through certain wholly owned subsidiaries operating under the name “Americrown,” food and beverage concession operations and catering services, both in suites and chalets, for customers at its motorsports entertainment facilities. Motor Racing Network, Inc. (“MRN”), the Company’s proprietary radio network, produces and syndicates to radio stations live coverage of the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series races and certain other races conducted at the Company’s motorsports entertainment facilities, as well as some races from motorsports entertainment facilities the Company does not own. In addition, MRN provides production services for the trackside large screen video display units, at NASCAR Cup Series event weekends that take place at the Company's motorsports facilities. MRN also produces and syndicates daily and weekly NASCAR racing-themed programs. The Company has also developed a premier mixed use and entertainment destination under the name ONE DAYTONA, which is across from the Daytona International Speedway. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of International Speedway Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS: For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand deposit accounts and overnight sweep accounts used in the Company’s cash management program. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. The Company maintained its cash and cash equivalents with a limited number of financial institutions at November 30, 2017. RECEIVABLES: Receivables are stated at their estimated collectible amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical experience of write offs and current expectations of conditions that might impact the collectability of accounts. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT: Property and equipment, including improvements to existing facilities, are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the related lease term or their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment and if there are indicators of potential impairment. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value. EQUITY INVESTMENTS: The Company’s investments in joint ventures and other investees where it can exert significant influence on the investee, but does not have effective control over the investee, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s equity in the net income (loss) from equity method investments is recorded as income (loss) with a corresponding increase (decrease) in the investment. Distributions received from the equity investees reduce the investment. Distributions from equity investees representing the Company's share of the equity investee's earnings are treated as cash proceeds from operations while distributions in excess of the equity investee's earnings are considered a return of capital and treated as cash proceeds from investing activities in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS: All business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. 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 IMSA. The continuity of sanction agreements with these bodies has historically enabled the Company to host these 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, are recorded as indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized apart from goodwill. The Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets are all associated with our Motorsports Event segment. The Company follows 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. The Company completes its annual testing in its fiscal fourth quarter, based on assumptions regarding the Company’s 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 the Company’s fiscal 2017 assessment of goodwill and intangible assets for possible impairment, the Company used the future discounted cash flows / income approach based on Level 3 Fair Value hierarchy. The Company believes its methods used to determine fair value and evaluate possible impairment were appropriate, relevant, and represent methods customarily available and used for such purposes. The Company’s latest annual assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 indicated there had been no impairment and the fair value exceeded the carrying value for the respective reporting units. During fiscal 2017, the Company believes there has been no significant change in the long-term fundamentals of its ongoing motorsports event business. The Company believes its present operational and cash flow outlook further support its conclusion. While the Company continues to review and analyze many factors that can impact its business prospects in the future, its 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 the Company’s future condition or results of operations. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In accordance with the “Financial Instruments” Topic, ASC 825-10 and in accordance with the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic, ASC 820-10, these topics discuss key considerations in determining fair value in such markets, and expanding disclosures on recurring fair value measurements using unobservable inputs (Level 3), clarification and additional disclosure is required about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are considered when determining the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. These items 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:
DEFERRED FINANCING FEES: Deferred financing fees are amortized over the term of the related debt and are included in other non-current assets. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income is the change in equity of an enterprise except those resulting from shareholder transactions. INCOME TAXES: Income taxes have been presented using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company’s estimates of deferred income taxes and the significant items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect its assessment of actual future taxes to be paid on items reflected in its financial statements, giving consideration to both timing and probability of realization. The Company establishes tax reserves related to certain matters, including penalties and interest, in the period when it is determined that it is probable that additional taxes, penalties and interest will be paid, and the amount is reasonably estimable. Such tax reserves are adjusted, as needed, in light of changing circumstances, such as statute of limitations expirations and other developments relating to uncertain tax positions and current tax items under examination, appeal or litigation. 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 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series schedules. Event promoters share in the television rights fees in accordance with the provision of the sanction agreement for each Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The Company, as 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. The Company's 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 among 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 food, beverage and merchandise to retail customers are recognized at the time of sale. Kansas Speedway ("Kansas") and Chicagoland Speedway ("Chicagoland") offer Preferred Access Speedway Seating (“PASS”) agreements, which give purchasers the exclusive right and obligation to purchase season-ticket packages for certain sanctioned racing events annually, under specified terms and conditions. Among the conditions, licensees are required to purchase all season-ticket packages when and as offered each year. PASS agreements automatically terminate without refund should owners not purchase any offered season tickets. Net fees received under PASS agreements are deferred and are amortized into income over the term of the agreements. Long-term deferred income under the PASS agreements totals approximately $3.8 million and $3.1 million at November 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. ADVERTISING EXPENSE: Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense was approximately $17.1 million, $17.7 million and $17.2 million for the years ended November 30, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. LOSS CONTINGENCIES: Legal and other costs incurred in conjunction with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Operations have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS: In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The objective of this Update is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date, while permitting entities to elect to adopt one year earlier on the original effective date. As a result, for a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the information necessary to determine the impact of adopting this new guidance on its related accounting policies and processes, as well as its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and required disclosures. The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern". The objective of this Update is to provide guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company adopted the provisions of this statement as of November 30, 2017. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842): Leases". The objective of this Update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creating Topic 842, Leases. This Update, along with International Financial Reporting Standards 16, Leases, are the results of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB’s) efforts to meet that objective and improve financial reporting. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 23): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments". The objective of this Update is to provide specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues and reduce the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company believes that the impact of adopting this new guidance will not result in a material difference in its financial position and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No, 2017-04, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The objective of this Update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the Board eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test - measuring goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments in this Update. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. |

FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES | FEDERAL AND STATE INCOME TAXES Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Significant components of the provision for income taxes for the years ended November 30, are as follows (in thousands):
The reconciliation of income tax expense (benefit) computed at the federal statutory tax rates to income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended November 30, is as follows (percent of pre-tax income):
The principal causes of the decreased effective income tax rate, as compared to the statutory income tax rate, for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2015 and 2016 is due to reductions in certain state tax rates. The principal cause of the decreased effective income tax rate, as compared to the statutory income tax rate, for the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017 is due to a non-recurring tax benefit associated with the worthlessness of our investment in Motorsports Authentics, Inc. ("MA"), discussed below. The components of the net deferred tax assets (liabilities) at November 30, are as follows (in thousands):
At November 30, 2017 the Company has deferred tax assets related to various state loss carryforwards totaling approximately $13.7 million that expire in varying amounts beginning in fiscal 2019. The valuation allowance at November 30, 2016 and 2017 was primarily related to state loss carryforwards that, in the judgment of management, are more likely than not to expire before realized. In evaluating the Company’s ability to recover its deferred income tax assets it considers all available evidence both positive and negative, including operating results, ongoing tax planning and forecasts of future taxable income on a jurisdiction by jurisdiction basis. Federal returns for fiscal years 2013 through 2016 remain open and subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service. The Company files and remits state income taxes in various states where the Company has determined it is required to file state income taxes. The Company’s filings with those states remain open for audit for the fiscal years 2012 through 2016. A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax liability is as follows (in thousands):
During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017, the Company determined its stock investment in MA had become worthless in accordance with U.S. federal income tax rules. During the fiscal year ended November 30, 2009 the Company had previously reduced its carrying value of the investment to nil. However operations continued until August 2017. In August of 2017 management and the board of MA decided to cease operations and liquidate MA. In the third quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a deferred tax asset of $48.2 million representing the tax benefit associated with the basis in the shares of MA that was not previously required to be recorded in the deferred assets, as it represents the outside basis difference in the shares of a subsidiary not previously held for sale. The basis in MA used to calculate the tax benefit is approximately $122.2 million. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company completed its analysis and determined the loss qualifies as an ordinary loss for federal income tax purposes. As a result of the worthlessness of MA stock and this analysis, the Company recognized an income tax benefit of approximately $48.2 million for the period ending November 30, 2017. Management believes that it is more likely than not that the Company has sufficient taxable income to fully utilize these tax losses. In fiscal 2017, the Company also impaired $2.1 million of deferred tax assets, resulting in a charge to income tax expense, related to federal loss carryforwards. In December 2015, Congress passed the Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (the "Act"), which included a retroactive renewal back to January 1, 2015 of the previously expired tax legislation. The Act extended accelerated depreciation on qualified capital investments placed into service. This bonus depreciation provision is 50.0 percent for qualifying assets placed into service from 2015 through 2017, 40.0 percent for qualifying assets placed into service in 2018, and 30.0 percent for qualifying assets placed into service in 2019. The impact of this tax legislation did not affect the Company's fiscal 2016 and 2017 effective tax rate. On December 22, 2017, Congress signed into law the Tax Cut and Jobs Act of 2017. The tax law includes significant changes to the U.S. corporate tax systems including a rate reduction from 35.0 percent to 21.0 percent beginning in January of 2018, the elimination of the corporate alternative minimum tax, and the acceleration of depreciation for US tax purposes. In accordance with ASC 740, "Income Taxes", the impact of a change in tax law is recorded in the period of enactment. During the first quarter of 2018, the Company expects to record a material, non-cash, change in its deferred income tax liability with a material income tax benefit. |

NASCAR, which sanctions many of the Company’s principal racing events, is a member of the France Family Group which controls over 74.1 percent of the combined voting power of the outstanding stock of the Company, as of November 30, 2017, and some members of which serve as directors and officers of the Company. Under current agreements, NASCAR contracts directly with certain network providers for television rights to the entire Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series schedules. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The Company, as the promoter, records 90.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as revenue and then records 25.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees as part of its awards to the competitors, included in NASCAR event management fees (discussed below). Ultimately, the promoter retains 65.0 percent of the net cash proceeds from the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to the event. The Company’s television broadcast and ancillary rights fees received from NASCAR for the NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series events conducted at its wholly owned facilities were approximately $314.5 million, $325.1 million and $337.4 million in fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The Company recorded prize money of approximately $87.2 million, $89.6 million and $93.3 million in fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, included in NASCAR event management fees (discussed below) related to the aforementioned 25.0 percent of gross broadcast rights fees ultimately paid to competitors. Standard NASCAR and IMSA sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay event management fees (collectively "NASCAR event management or NEM fees"), which include prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted. The prize and point fund monies are distributed by NASCAR to participants in the events. Total NEM fees paid by the Company were approximately $167.8 million, $171.8 million and $178.4 million, for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The Company has outstanding receivables related to NASCAR and its affiliates of approximately $21.3 million and $22.1 million at November 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively.

NASCAR pays rent, as well as a related maintenance fee (allocated based on square footage), to the Company for office space in Daytona Beach, Florida. NASCAR pays the Company for radio, program and strategic initiative advertising, hospitality and suite rentals, various tickets and credentials, catering services, participation in a NASCAR racing event banquet, and track and other equipment rentals. The Company pays NASCAR for certain advertising, participation in NASCAR racing series banquets, the use of NASCAR trademarks and intellectual images and production space on trackside large screen video display units. The Company’s payments to NASCAR for MRN’s broadcast rights to NASCAR Camping World Truck races represent an agreed-upon percentage of the Company’s advertising revenues attributable to such race broadcasts. NASCAR also reimburses the Company for 50.0 percent of the compensation paid to certain personnel working in the Company’s legal, risk management and transportation departments, as well as 50.0 percent of the compensation expense associated with certain receptionists. The Company reimburses NASCAR for 50.0 percent of the compensation paid to certain personnel working in NASCAR’s legal department. NASCAR’s reimbursement for use of the Company’s mailroom, janitorial services, security services, catering, graphic arts, photo and publishing services, telephone system and the Company’s reimbursement of NASCAR for use of corporate aircraft is based on actual usage or an allocation of total actual usage. The aggregate amount received and receivable from NASCAR for shared expenses, net of amounts paid by the Company for shared expenses, totaled approximately $10.2 million, $10.2 million and $10.3 million during fiscal 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. We believe the amounts earned from or charged by us under each of the aforementioned transactions are commercially reasonable. IMSA, a wholly owned subsidiary of NASCAR, sanctions various events at certain of the Company’s facilities. Standard IMSA sanction agreements require racetrack operators to pay event management fees, which include prize and point fund monies for each sanctioned event conducted.

Disclosure of Compensation Related Costs, Share-based Payments [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN | LONG-TERM STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN On November 30, 2017, the Company has three share-based compensation plans, which are described below. Compensation cost included in operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for those plans was $2.9 million, $3.7 million, and $2.7 million for the years ended November 30, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The total income tax benefit recognized in the consolidated statements of operations for share-based compensation arrangements was approximately $1.2 million, $1.5 million and $1.3 million for the years ended November 30, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively. The Company’s 1996 Long-Term Stock Incentive Plan (the “1996 Plan”) authorized the grant of stock options (incentive and nonqualified), stock appreciation rights and restricted stock. The Company reserved an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar capital changes) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for grants under the 1996 Plan. The 1996 Plan terminated in 2006. All unvested stock options and restricted stock granted prior to the termination will continue to vest and will continue to be exercisable in accordance with their original terms. The Company’s 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) authorized the grant of stock options (incentive and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock, cash awards and Performance Units (as defined in the 2006 Plan) to employees, consultants and advisers of the Company capable of contributing to the Company’s performance. The Company has reserved an aggregate of 1,000,000 shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar capital changes) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for grants under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan terminated in 2016. All unvested stock options and restricted stock granted prior to the termination will continue to vest and will continue to be exercisable in accordance with their original terms. In April 2017, the Company’s shareholders’ approved the 2017 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) which authorizes the grant of stock options (incentive and non-qualified), stock appreciation rights, restricted and unrestricted stock, cash awards and Performance Units (as defined in the 2017 Plan) to employees, consultants and advisers of the Company capable of contributing to the Company’s performance. The Company has reserved an aggregate of 1,500,000 shares (subject to adjustment for stock splits and similar capital changes) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for grants under the 2017 Plan. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to employees eligible to receive them under the Internal Revenue Code of 1996, as amended. The 2006 Plan approved by the shareholders appoints the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) to administer the 2006 Plan. Awards under the 2006 Plan will contain such terms and conditions not inconsistent with the 2006 Plan as the Committee in its discretion approves. The Committee has discretion to administer the 2006 Plan in the manner which it determines, from time to time, is in the best interest of the Company. Restricted Stock Awards Restricted stock awarded under the 1996 Plan, 2006 Plan, and 2017 Plan (collectively the “Plans”) generally is subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment prior to vesting dates. Prior to vesting, the Plans participants own the shares and may vote and receive dividends, but are subject to certain restrictions. Restrictions include the prohibition of the sale or transfer of the shares during the period prior to vesting of the shares. The Company also has the right of first refusal to purchase any shares of stock issued under the Plans which are offered for sale subsequent to vesting. In accordance with ASC 718, “Compensation - Stock Compensation” the Company is recognizing stock-based compensation on these restricted shares awarded on the accelerated method over the requisite service period. The fair value of nonvested restricted stock is determined based on the opening trading price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date. The Company granted 89,343, 92,583 and 98,295 shares of restricted stock awards of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, to certain officers, managers, and other employees under the Plans. The shares of restricted stock awarded vest at the rate of 50.0 percent on the third anniversary of the award date and the remaining 50.0 percent on the fifth anniversary of the award date. The weighted average grant date fair value of these restricted stock awards was $36.36, $33.49 and $37.10 per share, respectively. The Company granted 8,190, 8,073 and 7,281 shares of restricted stock awards of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2015, 2016 and 2017, respectively, to non-employee directors as partial compensation for their service as a director. The shares of restricted stock awarded vest at the rate of 100.0 percent on the one year anniversary after the date of grant. The weighted average grant date fair value of these restricted share awards was $36.67, $33.45 and $37.55 per share, respectively. A summary of the status of the Company’s restricted stock as of November 30, 2017, and changes during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2017, is presented as follows:
As of November 30, 2017, there was approximately $6.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards granted under the Stock Plans. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.5 years. The total fair value of restricted stock awards vested during the fiscal years ended November 30, 2015, 2016 and 2017, was approximately $3.7 million, $2.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively. Nonqualified and Incentive Stock Options In fiscal 2010 a portion of each non-employee director’s compensation for their service as a director is through awards of options to acquire shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock under the Plans. These options become exercisable one year after the date of grant and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The Company also grants options to certain non-officer managers to purchase the Company’s Class A Common Stock under the Plans. These options generally vest over a two and one-half year period and expire on the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. The Company records stock-based compensation cost on its stock options awarded on the straight-line method over the requisite service period. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the grant date using the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing valuation model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from historical volatility of the Company’s stock and other factors. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. Separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The expected term of options granted is estimated based on historical exercise behavior and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. A summary of option activity under the Stock Plan as of November 30, 2017, and changes during the year then ended is presented as follows:
There were no options granted in fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. There were no options exercised during fiscal year 2015. There were 5,321 and 20,295 options exercised during fiscal years 2016 and 2017, respectively. The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the fiscal year ended November 30, 2016 and 2017, was approximately $0.6 million and $0.5 million, respectively. The actual tax benefit realized for the tax deductions from exercise of the stock options totaled approximately $20,251 and $84,090 for the fiscal years ended November 30, 2016 and 2017, respectively. As of November 30, 2017, there was no unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options granted under the Stock Plan. |

SEGMENT REPORTING | SEGMENT REPORTING The general nature of the Company’s business is a motorsports themed amusement enterprise, furnishing amusement to the public in the form of motorsports themed entertainment. The Company’s motorsports event operations consist principally of racing events at its major motorsports entertainment facilities. The reporting units within the motorsports segment portfolio are reviewed together as the nature of the products and services, the production processes used, the type or class of customer using our products and services, and the methods used to distribute our products or provide their services are consistent in objectives and principles, and predominately uniform and centralized throughout the Company. The consolidated domestic media rights contract, which continues through the 2024 NASCAR season, continues to be the single-largest contributor to the Company's earnings. These media rights are allocated to specific events, are not facility based, and are derived through a corporate contract, which affects all of the motorsports event facilities within the motorsports event segment. Similarly, corporate sponsorship partnership revenue is primarily derived from corporate contracts, negotiated from the Company's corporate sales team, and allocated to multiple, or all, motorsports entertainment facilities depending on the specific arrangement. Thus, the disclosure of these revenue streams, as they relate to each reporting unit, is not practical. The Company’s remaining business units, which are comprised of the radio network production and syndication of numerous racing events and programs, certain souvenir merchandising operations not associated with the promotion of motorsports events at the Company’s facilities, construction management services, financing and licensing operations, equity investments, and retail leasing operations are included in the “All Other” segment. The Company evaluates financial performance of the business units on operating profit after allocation of corporate general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. Corporate G&A expenses are allocated to business units based on each business unit’s net revenues to total net revenues. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales are accounted for at prices comparable to unaffiliated customers.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |||||||||||||
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION | The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of International Speedway Corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. |
||||||||||||
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS | For purposes of reporting cash flows, cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank demand deposit accounts and overnight sweep accounts used in the Company’s cash management program. All highly liquid investments with stated maturities of three months or less from the date of purchase are classified as cash equivalents. |
||||||||||||
RECEIVABLES | Receivables are stated at their estimated collectible amounts. The allowance for doubtful accounts is estimated based on historical experience of write offs and current expectations of conditions that might impact the collectability of accounts. |
||||||||||||
PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT | Property and equipment, including improvements to existing facilities, are stated at cost. Depreciation is provided for financial reporting purposes using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives as follows:
Leasehold improvements are depreciated over the shorter of the related lease term or their estimated useful lives. The Company evaluates the carrying value of property and equipment and if there are indicators of potential impairment. If events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable, an impairment loss would be recognized equal to the difference between the carrying value of the asset and its fair value. |
||||||||||||
EQUITY INVESTMENTS | The Company’s investments in joint ventures and other investees where it can exert significant influence on the investee, but does not have effective control over the investee, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s equity in the net income (loss) from equity method investments is recorded as income (loss) with a corresponding increase (decrease) in the investment. Distributions received from the equity investees reduce the investment. Distributions from equity investees representing the Company's share of the equity investee's earnings are treated as cash proceeds from operations while distributions in excess of the equity investee's earnings are considered a return of capital and treated as cash proceeds from investing activities in the Company's consolidated statement of cash flows. |
||||||||||||
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLE ASSETS | All business combinations are accounted for under the purchase method. 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 IMSA. The continuity of sanction agreements with these bodies has historically enabled the Company to host these 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 Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 805, are recorded as indefinite-lived intangible assets recognized apart from goodwill. The Company’s goodwill and other intangible assets are all associated with our Motorsports Event segment. The Company follows 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. The Company completes its annual testing in its fiscal fourth quarter, based on assumptions regarding the Company’s 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 the Company’s fiscal 2017 assessment of goodwill and intangible assets for possible impairment, the Company used the future discounted cash flows / income approach based on Level 3 Fair Value hierarchy. The Company believes its methods used to determine fair value and evaluate possible impairment were appropriate, relevant, and represent methods customarily available and used for such purposes. The Company’s latest annual assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 indicated there had been no impairment and the fair value exceeded the carrying value for the respective reporting units. During fiscal 2017, the Company believes there has been no significant change in the long-term fundamentals of its ongoing motorsports event business. The Company believes its present operational and cash flow outlook further support its conclusion. While the Company continues to review and analyze many factors that can impact its business prospects in the future, its 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 the Company’s future condition or results of operations. |
||||||||||||
FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS In accordance with the “Financial Instruments” Topic, ASC 825-10 and in accordance with the “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” Topic, ASC 820-10, these topics discuss key considerations in determining fair value in such markets, and expanding disclosures on recurring fair value measurements using unobservable inputs (Level 3), clarification and additional disclosure is required about the use of fair value measurements. Various inputs are considered when determining the carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities. These items 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:
|
||||||||||||
DEFERRED FINANCING FEES | Deferred financing fees are amortized over the term of the related debt and are included in other non-current assets. |
||||||||||||
COMPREHENSIVE INCOME | Comprehensive income is the change in equity of an enterprise except those resulting from shareholder transactions. |
||||||||||||
INCOME TAXES | Income taxes have been presented using the asset and liability method. Under this method, the Company’s estimates of deferred income taxes and the significant items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect its assessment of actual future taxes to be paid on items reflected in its financial statements, giving consideration to both timing and probability of realization. The Company establishes tax reserves related to certain matters, including penalties and interest, in the period when it is determined that it is probable that additional taxes, penalties and interest will be paid, and the amount is reasonably estimable. Such tax reserves are adjusted, as needed, in light of changing circumstances, such as statute of limitations expirations and other developments relating to uncertain tax positions and current tax items under examination, appeal or litigation. |
||||||||||||
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 Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series schedules. Event promoters share in the television rights fees in accordance with the provision of the sanction agreement for each Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event. Under the terms of this arrangement, NASCAR retains 10.0 percent of the gross broadcast rights fees allocated to each Monster Energy NASCAR Cup, Xfinity and Camping World Truck series event as a component of its sanction fees. The Company, as 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. The Company's 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 among 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 food, beverage and merchandise to retail customers are recognized at the time of sale. Kansas Speedway ("Kansas") and Chicagoland Speedway ("Chicagoland") offer Preferred Access Speedway Seating (“PASS”) agreements, which give purchasers the exclusive right and obligation to purchase season-ticket packages for certain sanctioned racing events annually, under specified terms and conditions. Among the conditions, licensees are required to purchase all season-ticket packages when and as offered each year. PASS agreements automatically terminate without refund should owners not purchase any offered season tickets. Net fees received under PASS agreements are deferred and are amortized into income over the term of the agreements. |
||||||||||||
ADVERTISING EXPENSE | Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. |
||||||||||||
LOSS CONTINGENCIES | Legal and other costs incurred in conjunction with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. |
||||||||||||
USE OF ESTIMATES | The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. |
||||||||||||
RECLASSIFICATIONS | Certain prior year amounts in the Consolidated Statement of Operations have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. |
||||||||||||
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"), in conjunction with the International Accounting Standards Board ("IASB"), issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The objective of this Update is to significantly enhance comparability and clarify principles of revenue recognition practices across entities, industries, jurisdictions, and capital markets. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral of the effective date, while permitting entities to elect to adopt one year earlier on the original effective date. As a result, for a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. The standard can be adopted either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of adoption. The Company is continuing to evaluate the information necessary to determine the impact of adopting this new guidance on its related accounting policies and processes, as well as its financial position, results of operations, cash flows and required disclosures. The Company will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, "Presentation of Financial Statements-Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern". The objective of this Update is to provide guidance around management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. The standard is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption of the standard is permitted. Adoption of this standard is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. The Company adopted the provisions of this statement as of November 30, 2017. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases (Topic 842): Leases". The objective of this Update is to increase transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. To meet that objective, the FASB is amending the FASB Accounting Standards Codification and creating Topic 842, Leases. This Update, along with International Financial Reporting Standards 16, Leases, are the results of the FASB’s and the International Accounting Standards Board’s (IASB’s) efforts to meet that objective and improve financial reporting. For a public entity, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is permitted for all entities. In transition, lessees and lessors are required to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2020. In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 23): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments". The objective of this Update is to provide specific guidance on eight cash flow classification issues and reduce the existing diversity in practice. The amendments in this Update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. The amendments in this Update should be applied using a retrospective transition method to each period presented. If it is impracticable to apply the amendments retrospectively for some of the issues, the amendments for those issues would be applied prospectively as of the earliest date practicable. The Company believes that the impact of adopting this new guidance will not result in a material difference in its financial position and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2019. In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No, 2017-04, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment". The objective of this Update is to simplify the subsequent measurement of goodwill, the Board eliminated Step 2 from the goodwill impairment test - measuring goodwill impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of a reporting unit's goodwill to the carrying amount of that goodwill. Instead, under the amendments in this Update, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit’s fair value; however, the loss recognized should not exceed the total amount of goodwill allocated to that reporting unit. Additionally, an entity should consider income tax effects from any tax deductible goodwill on the carrying amount of the reporting unit when measuring the goodwill impairment loss, if applicable. An entity should apply the amendments in this Update on a prospective basis. An entity is required to disclose the nature of and reason for the change in accounting principle upon transition. That disclosure should be provided in the first annual period and in the interim period within the first annual period when the entity initially adopts the amendments in this Update. A public business entity that is a U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") filer should adopt the amendments in this Update for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this new guidance on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows, and will adopt the provisions of this statement in the first quarter of fiscal 2021. |
