Viad Corp Reports Results for the 2022 Second Quarter

Q2’22 results significantly better than expected and full year expectations raised
Strong momentum continues at GES and Pursuit
--- ---
Poised for continued growth in 2023 and beyond
--- ---

SCOTTSDALE, August 4, 2022 -- Viad Corp (NYSE: VVI), a leading provider of experiential leisure travel and live events and marketing experiences, today reported net income attributable to Viad of $19.8 million for the 2022 second quarter.

Steve Moster, Viad’s president and chief executive officer, commented, “Our second quarter results were  significantly better than our prior guidance as the recovery of in-person event activity has progressed more quickly than we had previously anticipated. Both GES and Pursuit posted substantial year-over-year growth and positive Adjusted EBITDA during the quarter. GES’ second quarter revenue reached 75 percent of the pre-pandemic 2019 second quarter, while Pursuit delivered record second quarter revenue that was 40 percent greater than the 2019 quarter driven by our new experiences.”

Moster continued, “I am encouraged by the strong momentum we are seeing across our businesses.  Based on current trends and our first half performance, we are raising our full year 2022 guidance for consolidated Adjusted EBITDA. I am even more excited about our future earnings potential as recovery continues in our industries and we reap the benefits of our actions to scale Pursuit, transform GES Exhibitions’ cost structure, and strengthen Spiro’s capabilities.”

Second Quarter 2022 Financial Highlights

Three months ended June 30,
(in millions) 2022 2021 Change
Revenue $ 319.2 $ 61.2
Pursuit Revenue 77.6 36.3
GES Revenue 241.6 24.9
Net income (loss) attributable to Viad $ 19.8 $ (42.0 )
Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA* $ 47.5 $ (21.9 )
Pursuit Adjusted EBITDA* 15.6 2.0
GES Adjusted EBITDA* 35.1 (21.6 )
Corporate Adjusted EBITDA* (3.3 ) (2.4 ) )

All values are in US Dollars.

* Refer to Table Two of this press release for a discussion and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.


Net income attributable to Viad improved by $61.9 million from the 2021 second quarter primarily driven by higher revenue at GES and Pursuit.

Pursuit Results

Pursuit’s second quarter revenue increased $41.3 million from the 2021 quarter. Pursuit’s same-store revenue from experiences that were owned and open prior to 2021 was $68.2 million, up $35.0 million from the 2021 second quarter primarily due to stronger visitation at our Canadian experiences, which were impacted in 2021 by border restrictions. Revenue from new experiences opened or acquired after 2020 was $9.4 million versus $3.1 million in the prior year quarter, reflecting the continued ramping of Sky Lagoon and Golden Skybridge and the additions of FlyOver Las Vegas and Glacier Raft Company.

Pursuit’s second quarter adjusted EBITDA increased by $13.6 million versus the 2021 second quarter primarily due to the increase in revenue.

Regarding Pursuit’s results, Moster commented, “Pursuit posted very strong year-over-year growth with revenue vastly exceeding the same period in 2019 due to the investments we have made to scale the business.  The level of growth was not as strong as we had previously expected primarily due to challenging weather conditions that impacted visitation.  Nonetheless, I am very pleased with Pursuit’s second quarter performance and encouraged by the strong booking pace across our lodging properties and the improvements we are seeing in attraction visitation.”

Moster continued, “With the Canadian border open, the new experiences we have added, and strong leisure travel demand, we expect Pursuit’s revenue will remain much higher than the levels we realized in 2021. As long-haul international tourism continues to recover and awareness of our newest attractions builds, we expect strong revenue growth and continued margin expansion beyond 2022.”

GES Results

GES’ second quarter revenue increased $216.7 million from the 2021 second quarter and Adjusted EBITDA improved by $56.7 million. These improvements are primarily due to the resumption of live event activity and the return of large-scale events that canceled or postponed into the first half of 2021, as well as the benefit of the cost structure reductions we’ve implemented.

Regarding GES’ overall results, Moster commented, “GES’ second quarter results once again exceeded our expectations due to a faster than expected rebound of event activity. Spiro continues to win new logos and benefit from increased client spend. And within the GES Exhibitions segment, we realized our fourth consecutive quarter of same-show revenue improvement, with revenue from U.S. events that we produced reaching 87 percent of pre-pandemic levels on average.  We also experienced strong flow-through on the increase in revenue reflecting the benefit of the transformational changes we have made to the cost structure of GES Exhibitions.”

Moster continued, “I am very encouraged by the industry trends we’re seeing and more importantly by how Spiro and GES Exhibitions are performing as our industry rebounds. I am confident that the actions we took during the pandemic have positioned GES Exhibitions and Spiro for greater success in the future.”

The following table provides a comparison of 2022 second quarter revenue and Adjusted EBITDA to the comparable period in 2021 for GES’ two reportable segments.


Three months ended June 30,
(in millions) 2022 2021 Change
Revenue:
Spiro $ 89.4 $ 11.9
GES Exhibitions 154.6 13.1
Inter-segment Eliminations (2.4 ) (0.1 ) )
Total GES $ 241.6 $ 24.9
Adjusted EBITDA*:
Spiro $ 15.8 $ (6.1 )
GES Exhibitions 19.4 (15.5 )
Total GES $ 35.1 $ (21.6 )

All values are in US Dollars.

* Refer to Table Two of this press release for a discussion and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

We ended the second quarter with total liquidity of $127 million, comprising cash and cash equivalents of approximately $55 million and approximately $72 million of capacity available on our revolving credit facility ($100 million total facility size, less $15 million of borrowings and approximately $13 million in letters of credit). Our debt totaled approximately $492 million, including $397 million outstanding on our Term Loan B, financing lease obligations of approximately $65 million (which primarily comprises real estate leases at Pursuit), revolver borrowings of $15 million, and approximately $15 million in other debt.

Our 2022 second quarter cash flow from operations was an inflow of approximately $26 million, our capital expenditures totaled approximately $19 million, we acquired Glacier Raft Company for approximately $25 million (net of cash acquired), and we paid approximately $2 million in cash dividends on our convertible preferred equity.  Our net debt borrowings during the quarter were approximately $20 million, including $15 million on our revolver to partially fund the acquisition of Glacier Raft Company and approximately $9 million on a construction loan to help fund development of our new Forest Park Hotel in Jasper National Park.

Moster commented, “We continue to focus on prudent cash management to maintain a strong liquidity position while also making smart investments in high-return growth opportunities through Pursuit’s Refresh, Build, Buy strategy, including our April 6^th^ acquisition of the Glacier Raft Company and construction of our new Forest Park Hotel in Jasper.”

2022 Outlook

Regarding Viad’s outlook, Moster commented, “We continue to expect very strong year-over-year growth from both Pursuit and GES and we are increasing our full year guidance for consolidated Adjusted EBITDA.  This improved outlook is the result of GES’ stronger than previously expected performance during the second quarter, partially offset by a reduced outlook for Pursuit’s year-over-year growth primarily due to the impact of the inclement weather experienced during the second quarter and revised expectations for visitation ramp up at FlyOver Las Vegas.”

Assuming no future material adverse changes to the macro environment from COVID, geo-political events, or other factors, we expect Adjusted EBITDA will be in the ranges shown in the following table. We continue to operate in a very dynamic environment and our performance could vary significantly from the amounts shown below.


(in millions) Third Quarter Full Year Key Assumptions
Pursuit $74  to  $82 $70  to $80 US same store revenue outperforms 2019 on strong leisure travel demand and benefit from continued investment in the guest<br> experience
(vs. $59.6 in 2021) (vs. $42.7 in 2021 and prior guidance of $80 to $90) Canada same store revenue remains below 2019 as certain long-haul<br> international leisure travel markets are slower to recover
New experiences continue to ramp up as guest awareness builds and long-haul leisure travel demand increases
Revenue management efforts to drive rate increases help offset wage rate and other inflationary pressures
Margins will improve from 2021, but remain below 2019 due to guest mix that will see strong demand from N. America and Europe<br> while Asia Pacific markets are slower to recover
GES $6  to  $11 $50  to $60 Exhibitions same-show revenue will generally remain at or better than 75% of pre-pandemic levels
(vs. negative $4.2 in 2021) (vs. negative $30.4 in 2021 and prior guidance of $25 to $35) Experiential marketing budgets of major Spiro clients will remain at 80%+ of pre-pandemic levels
SG&A will gradually increase to support increased business activity and future revenue growth
Corporate ~$(3.5) $(12.5) to $(13.5) Second half of 2022 is slightly higher than first half primarily due to timing of certain expenses

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for adjusted EBITDA to its respective most comparable GAAP financial measure because certain reconciling items that impact this metric including, provision for income taxes, interest expense, restructuring or impairment charges, acquisition-related costs, and attraction start-up costs have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the nearest GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the company’s results as reported under GAAP.

VIAD CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
TABLE ONE - NOTES TO QUARTERLY RESULTS
(UNAUDITED)
(A) Corporate Activities — The increase in corporate activities expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was<br> primarily due to higher performance-based compensation expense.
(B) Restructuring Charges — Restructuring charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were primarily related to<br> severance and facility closures at GES. Restructuring charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 were primarily related to facility closures at GES. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we accelerated our<br> transformation and streamlining efforts at GES to significantly reduce costs and create a lower and more flexible cost structure focused on servicing our more profitable market segments.
(C) Net Interest Expense — The increase in interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to<br> higher interest rates and higher debt balances in 2022, offset in part by $0.7 million in capitalized interest recorded during the three months ended June 30,2022 and $2.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.
(D) Income Tax (Expense) Benefit – The effective tax rate was 14.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 4.8% for the three<br> months ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rate was a negative 8.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 5.6% for six months ended June 30, 2021. The effective tax rates were lower than the blended statutory rate primarily as a<br> result of excluding the tax benefit on losses recognized in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other European countries where we have a valuation allowance. The six months ended June 30, 2022 was also impacted by a change in<br> income or loss between jurisdictions.
(E) Income (Loss) per Common Share — We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per common share as preferred stock<br> and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforteitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Accordingly, such securities are included in the earnings allocation in calculating income per share.
Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or as-converted method. <br> The two-class method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than participating securities.  The as-converted method uses net income (loss) available to common<br> shareholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares including participating securities.  Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted share units and convertible preferred stock.
Additionally, the adjustment to the carrying value of redeemable non-controlling interests is reflected in income (loss) per<br> common share.
The components of basic and diluted income (loss) per share are as follows:

(F) Convertible Series A Preferred Stock — On August 5, 2020, we entered into an Investment Agreement with funds managed by private<br> equity firm Crestview Partners, relating to the issuance of 135,000 shares of newly issued Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $135 million or $1,000 per share. The<br> Convertible Series A Preferred Stock carries a 5.5% cumulative quarterly dividend, which is payable in cash or in-kind at Viad’s option and is convertible into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $21.25 per share.  A total<br> of $6.8 million of dividends have been paid in kind, including $3.8 million during the first and second quarters of 2021. We began paying preferred stock dividends in cash during the 2021 third quarter and we intend to pay in cash for the<br> foreseeable future.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
---
This document includes the presentation of "Income (Loss) Before Other Items", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Segment Operating Income<br> (Loss)", and "Adjusted Segment Operating Income (Loss)", which are supplemental to results presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and may not be comparable to similarly titled<br> measures presented by other companies.  These non-GAAP measures are utilized by management to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of Viad’s operating performance and should be considered in addition to, but not as<br> substitutes for, other similar measures reported in accordance with GAAP.  The use of these non-GAAP financial measures is limited, compared to the GAAP measure of net income attributable to Viad, because they do not consider a variety of<br> items affecting Viad’s consolidated financial performance as reconciled below.  Because these non-GAAP measures do not consider all items affecting Viad’s consolidated financial performance, a user of Viad’s financial information should<br> consider net income attributable to Viad as an important measure of financial performance because it provides a more complete measure of the Company’s performance.
Income (Loss) Before Other Items, Segment Operating Income (Loss), and Adjusted Segment Operating Income (Loss) are considered<br> useful operating metrics, in addition to net income attributable to Viad, as potential variations arising from non-operational expenses/income are eliminated, thus resulting in additional measures considered to be indicative of Viad’s<br> performance. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding Viad’s results of operations for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of Viad’s<br> business. Management also believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA for acquisitions and other major capital projects enables investors to assess how effectively management is investing capital into major corporate development<br> projects, both from a valuation and return perspective.

Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, initiatives, intentions or goals also are forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are subject to a host of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.   Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:  the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, and cash flow;  our ability to anticipate and adjust for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses;  general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a worsening of global economic conditions;  travel industry disruptions;  seasonality of our businesses;  unanticipated delays and cost overruns of our capital projects, and our ability to achieve established financial and strategic goals for such projects;  our exposure to labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases;  the importance of key members of our account teams to our business relationships;  the competitive nature of the industries in which we operate;  our dependence on large exhibition event clients;  adverse effects of show rotation on our periodic results and operating margins;  transportation disruptions and increases in transportation costs;  natural disasters, weather conditions, accidents, and other catastrophic events;  our exposure to labor cost increases and work stoppages related to unionized employees;  our multi-employer pension plan funding obligations;  our ability to successfully integrate and achieve established financial and strategic goals from acquisitions;  our exposure to cybersecurity attacks and threats; our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations;  liabilities relating to prior and discontinued operations; and  compliance with laws governing the storage, collection, handling, and transfer of personal data and our exposure to legal claims and fines for data breaches or improper handling of such data.  For a more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our business or financial results, please see Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this presentation except as required by applicable law or regulation.  2


NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES  This document includes the presentation of “Adjusted EBITDA” and ”Income (Loss) Before Other Items”, which are supplemental to results presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies.  These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other similar measures reported in accordance with GAAP.    The use of these non-GAAP financial measures is limited, compared to the GAAP measure of net income attributable to Viad, because it does not consider a variety of items affecting Viad’s consolidated financial performance as explained below.  Because these non-GAAP measures do not consider all items affecting Viad’s consolidated financial performance, a user of Viad’s financial information should consider net income attributable to Viad as an important measure of financial performance because it provides a more complete measure of the Company’s performance.  Adjusted EBITDA is defined by management as net income attributable to Viad before income (loss) from discontinued operations, interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related costs, attraction start-up costs, restructuring charges, impairment charges, and the reduction/increase for income/loss attributable to non-redeemable and redeemable non-controlling interests.   Adjusted EBITDA is considered a useful operating metric, in addition to net income attributable to Viad, as potential variations arising from non-recurring integration costs, non-cash amortization and depreciation, and non-operational expenses/income are eliminated, thus resulting in an additional measure considered to be indicative of Viad’s consolidated and segment performance. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding Viad’s results of operations for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of Viad’s business.  Income (Loss) Before Other Items is defined by management as net income attributable to Viad before income (loss) from discontinued operations, acquisition-related costs, attraction start-up costs, restructuring charges, impairment charges, other non-recurring expenses, and tax matters.   Income (Loss) Before Other Items is considered a useful operating metric, in addition to net income attributable to Viad, as potential variations arising from non-operational expenses/income are eliminated, thus resulting in an additional measure considered to be indicative of Viad’s performance.   3  Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures  The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for adjusted EBITDA to its respective most comparable GAAP measure because certain reconciling items that impact this metric including, provision for income taxes, interest expense, restructuring or impairment charges, acquisition-related costs, and attraction start-up costs have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the nearest GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the company’s results as reported under GAAP.

21  FINANCIAL OUTLOOK - pursuit  21  KEY ASSUMPTIONS  US same store revenue outperforms 2019 on strong leisure travel demand and benefit from continued investment in the guest experience  Canada same store revenue remains below 2019 as certain long-haul international leisure travel markets are slower to recover  New experiences continue to ramp up as guest awareness builds and long-haul leisure travel demand increases  Revenue management efforts to drive rate increases help offset wage rate and other inflationary pressures  Margins will improve from 2021, but remain below 2019 due to guest mix that will see strong demand from N. America and Europe while Asia Pacific markets are slower to recover  Adjusted EBITDA Guidance ($millions)  Q3’22  FY’22  $74 to $82  vs. $59.6 in Q3’21 and $75.1 in Q3’19   $70 to $80  vs. $42.7 in FY’21 and $81.2 in FY’19   FY guidance range reduced by $10M (was $80 to $90), largely due to lower than expected Q2 results and a slower ramping of FlyOver Las Vegas than previously anticipated

FORWARD-LOOKING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES  We have also provided the following forward−looking non−GAAP financial measure: Adjusted EBITDA. We do not provide a reconciliation of this forward−looking non−GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible, not all of the information necessary for quantitative reconciliations is available to us without unreasonable efforts. Consequently, any attempt to disclose such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. It is possible that the forward−looking non−GAAP financial measure may be materially different from the corresponding forward-looking non−GAAP financial measure.  NON-GAAP FINANCIAL RECONCILIATION  25  Revenue has been adjusted in 2019 for immaterial errors related to the revenue recognition of GES’ Corporate Accounts’ third-party services, which are now reported on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services.  Includes costs related to the development of Pursuit's new FlyOver attractions in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Toronto, the Sky Lagoon in Iceland, and the Golden Skybridge and Forest Park Hotel in Canada.  Includes non-capitalizable fees and expenses related to Viad’s credit facility refinancing efforts.  Corporate Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Corporate activities expense before depreciation, acquisition-transaction-related costs and other non-recurring costs included within Corporate activities expense.  Includes inventory write-offs at GES in connection with transitioning to an outsourced model for trade show aisle carpet.
