NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP or United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for complete financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 28, 2023 (“2022 Form 10-K”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viad and its subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany account balances and transactions in consolidation.

Nature of Business

We are a leading global provider of extraordinary experiences, including hospitality and leisure activities, experiential marketing, and live events.

We operate through three reportable segments: Pursuit, Spiro, and GES Exhibitions. Spiro and GES Exhibitions are both live event businesses and are collectively referred to as “GES.”

Pursuit

Pursuit is a collection of inspiring and unforgettable travel experiences that includes recreational attractions, unique hotels and lodges, food and beverage, retail, sightseeing, and ground transportation services. Pursuit comprises the Banff Jasper Collection, the Alaska Collection, the Glacier Park Collection, FlyOver, and Sky Lagoon.

Spiro

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements:

Standard Description Date of adoption Effect on the financial statements
Standards Recently Adopted
Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-08, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities<br>from Contracts with Customers Amendment relates to the application of Topic 805, Business Combinations, to contracts with a customer acquired in a business combination after the acquirer has adopted Topic 606. ASU 2021-08 requires contract assets and contract liabilities to be accounted for as if they (the acquirer) entered into the original contract at the same time and same date as the acquiree. 1/1/2023 The adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
ASU 2022-04, Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs (Subtopic 405-50) Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations Amendment requires that a buyer in a supplier finance program disclose key terms about the program in connection with the purchase of goods and services along with information about their obligations under these programs, including a rollforward of those obligations. 1/1/2023 We provide disclosure about supplier finance programs in Note 12 - Debt and Finance Obligations under the heading “Financing arrangements.” The required rollforward requirement is effective in the first quarter of 2024. The adoption of this new standard on January 1, 2023 did not otherwise have a material impact on our related disclosures.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment testing of recorded goodwill and intangible assets and long-lived assets; allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales reserve allowances; provisions for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets; liabilities for losses related to self-insured liability claims; liabilities for losses related to environmental remediation obligations; sublease income associated with restructuring liabilities; pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations; share-based compensation costs; the discount rates used to value lease obligations; the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests; and the allocation of purchase price of acquired businesses. These estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions, global inflationary pressures, and volatility in foreign exchange rates. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank demand deposits. Restricted cash represents collateral required for surety bonds, bank guarantees, letters of credit, and corporate credit cards.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on a specified amount of consideration in a contract with a customer, net of commissions paid to customers and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a product or delivering the service to a customer.

Pursuit’s service revenue is derived through its admissions, accommodations, and transportation services. Product revenue is derived through food and beverage and retail sales. Revenue is recognized at the time services are performed or upon delivery of the product.

8

Pursuit’s service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits, and product revenue is recognized at a point in time.

GES’ service revenue is primarily derived through its comprehensive range of marketing, event production, and other related services to event organizers and corporate brand marketers. GES’ service revenue is earned over time over the duration of the live event, which generally lasts one to three days. Revenue for goods and services provided for which we do not have control of the goods or services before that good or service is transferred to a customer is recorded on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services. GES’ product revenue is derived from the build of exhibits, environments, and graphics and is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the product.

Noncontrolling Interests – Non-redeemable and Redeemable

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. We report non-redeemable noncontrolling interest within stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to Viad and the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

We consider noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control to be redeemable noncontrolling interests. Our redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to our 56.4% equity ownership interest in Esja Attractions ehf. (“Esja”), which owns the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The Esja shareholders agreement contains a put option that gives the minority Esja shareholders the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a calculated formula within a predefined term. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered mezzanine equity and we report it between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of the net income or loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the accretion of the redemption value is recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and is included in our income (loss) per share. Refer to Note 23 – Noncontrolling Interests – Redeemable and Non-redeemable for additional information.

Convertible Preferred Stock

We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of costs on the date of issuance. Dividends paid-in-kind increase the redemption value of the preferred stock. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as mezzanine equity and is reported between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Leases

We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet and classify leases as either finance or operating leases. The classification of the lease determines whether we recognize the lease expense on an effective interest method basis (finance lease) or on a straight-line basis (operating lease) over the lease term. In determining whether an agreement contains a lease, we consider if we have a right to control the use of the underlying asset during the lease term in exchange for an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities at commencement date, which is when the underlying asset is available for use to a lessee, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Our operating and finance leases are primarily facility, equipment, and land leases. Our facility leases comprise mainly manufacturing facilities, sales and design facilities, offices, storage and/or warehouses, and truck marshaling yards for our GES business. These facility leases have lease terms ranging up to 29 years. Our equipment leases comprise mainly vehicles, hardware, and office equipment, each with various lease terms. Our land leases comprise mainly leases in Canada and Iceland on which our Pursuit hotels or attractions are located and have lease terms ranging up to 46 years.

If a lease contains a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, then the lease term includes the optional periods in measuring a ROU asset and lease liability. We evaluate the reasonably certain threshold at lease commencement, and it is typically met if we identify substantial economic incentives or termination penalties. We do not include variable leases and variable non-lease components in the calculation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. For facility leases, variable lease costs include the costs of common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance for which we pay our lessors an estimate that is adjusted to actual expense on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the underlying contract terms. We expense these variable lease payments as incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

Substantially all of our lease agreements do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, and as such, we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on lease term and country in order to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. The incremental borrowing

9

rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a collateralized basis and is the expected rate at which we would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term and the country.

We are also a lessor to third party tenants who either lease certain portions of facilities that we own or sublease certain portions of facilities that we lease. We record lease income from owned facilities as rental income and we record sublease income from leased facilities as an offset to lease expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We classify all of our leases for which we are the lessor as operating leases.

Note 2. Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities

Pursuit’s performance obligations are short-term in nature. They include the provision of a hotel room, an attraction admission, a chartered or ticketed bus or van ride, and/or the sale of food, beverage, or retail products. We recognize revenue when the service has been provided or the product has been delivered. When we extend credit, payment terms are generally within 30 days and contain no significant financing components.

GES’ performance obligations consist of services or product(s) outlined in a contract. While we often sign multi-year contracts for recurring events, the obligations for each occurrence are well defined and conclude upon the occurrence of each event. The obligations are typically the provision of services and/or sale of a product in connection with a live event. Revenue for goods and services provided for which we do not have control of the goods or services before that good or service is transferred to a customer is recorded on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services. We recognize revenue for services generally at the close of the live event. We recognize revenue for products either upon delivery to the customer’s location, upon delivery to an event that we are serving, or when we have the right to invoice. In circumstances where a customer cancels a contract, we generally have the right to bill the customer for costs incurred to date. Payment terms are generally within 30-60 days and contain no significant financing components.

Contract Liabilities

Pursuit and GES typically receive customer deposits prior to transferring the related product or service to the customer. We record these deposits as a contract liability, which are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of the related contract performance obligation(s). GES also provides customer rebates and volume discounts to certain event organizers that we recognize as a reduction of revenue. We include customer deposits in “Contract liabilities” and “Other deferred items and liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes to contract liabilities are as follows:

(in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 44,757
Cash additions 94,495
Revenue recognized (65,082 )
Foreign exchange translation adjustment (6,376 )
Balance at June 30, 2023 $ 67,794

Contract Costs

GES capitalizes certain incremental costs incurred in obtaining and fulfilling contracts. Capitalized costs principally relate to direct costs of materials and services incurred in fulfilling services of future live events, and also include up-front incentives and commissions incurred upon contract signing. We expense costs associated with preliminary contract activities (i.e. proposal activities) as incurred. Capitalized contract costs are expensed upon the transfer of the related goods or services and are included in “Costs of services” or “Costs of products” as applicable. We include the deferred incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling contracts in “Current contract costs” and “Other investments and assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Changes to contract costs are as follows:

(in thousands)
Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 16,568
Additions 30,443
Expenses (26,216 )
Foreign exchange translation adjustment 312
Balance at June 30, 2023 $ 21,107

As of June 30, 2023, capitalized contract costs consisted of $0.1 million to obtain contracts and $21.0 million to fulfill contracts. We did not recognize an impairment loss with respect to capitalized contract costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 or 2022.

Note 3. Share-Based Compensation

We grant share-based compensation awards to our officers, directors, and certain key employees pursuant to the 2017 Viad Corp Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan has a 10-year term and provides for the following types of awards: (a) incentive and non-qualified stock options; (b) restricted stock awards and restricted stock units; (c) performance units or performance shares; (d) stock appreciation rights; (e) cash-based awards; and (f) certain other stock-based awards. In June 2017, we reserved 1,750,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the 2017 Plan. On May 24, 2022, we amended and restated the 2017 Plan, which among other things, increased the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 Plan by 840,000 shares, bringing the total number of reserved shares to 2,590,000. As of June 30, 2023, there were 880,838 shares available for future grant under the 2017 Plan.

The following table summarizes share-based compensation expense:

Note 4. Acquisition and Disposition

2022 Acquisition

Glacier Raft Company

On April 6, 2022, we acquired the Glacier Raft Company, which provides guided river rafting trips operating in Pursuit’s West Glacier, Montana operations. The Glacier Raft Company also owns 13 log cabins, a lodge, and a wedding venue located on 50 acres with views into Glacier National Park. The purchase price was $26.5 million in cash. This acquisition was funded via cash on hand of approximately $11.5 million and borrowings under our revolving credit facility of $15.0 million.

The following table summarizes the final allocation of the aggregate purchase price and amounts of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition. During the first quarter of 2023, we made a purchase accounting measurement period adjustment of approximately $41,000 to working capital based on refinements to assumptions used in the preliminary valuation.

12

(in thousands)
Purchase price paid as:
Cash $ 26,507
Working capital adjustment (920 )
Purchase price adjustment 125
Cash acquired (177 )
Purchase price, net of cash acquired 25,535
Fair value of net assets acquired:
Inventory 370
Prepaid expenses and other 57
Property and equipment 6,487
Intangible assets 3,400
Total assets acquired 10,314
Customer deposits 1,575
Other current liabilities 32
Total liabilities assumed 1,607
Total fair value of net assets acquired 8,707
Excess purchase price over fair value of net assets acquired (“goodwill”) $ 16,828

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as “Goodwill.” Goodwill relating to the Glacier Raft Company acquisition is included in the Pursuit reportable segment. The primary factor that contributed to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill related to future growth opportunities when combined with our other businesses. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes. We included these assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets from the date of acquisition.

Following are details of the purchase price allocated to the intangible assets acquired for the Glacier Raft Company:

(in thousands) Amount Weighted Average Life
Customer relationships $ 1,800 12 years
Operating licenses 1,300 17 years
Trade name 300 8 years
Total $ 3,400 14 years

The results of operations of the Glacier Raft Company have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

2022 Disposition

ON Services

On December 15, 2022, we completed the sale of substantially all of the assets of GES’ United States audio-visual production business, ON Services – AV Specialists, Inc. (“ON Services”), for approximately $30.0 million, subject to customary working capital adjustments. We recognized a gain on sale of $19.6 million. During the second quarter of 2023, we made a sale purchase price adjustment of approximately $0.2 million. ON Services had a net carrying value of $10.4 million, which included $4.9 million of net working capital and net non-current assets of $5.5 million. Working capital consisted primarily of accounts receivable of $8.2 million and other current assets of $0.7 million, offset in part by current liabilities of $4.0 million. Net non-current assets consisted primarily of property and equipment of $6.0 million, offset in part by other liabilities of $0.5 million. The staging business of ON Services was included in the Spiro reportable segment and the venue services business in the United States was included in the GES Exhibitions reportable segment.

The ON Services sale did not represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on our operations and financial results, and therefore was not classified as a discontinued operation for any of the periods presented.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of October 31, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We use a discounted expected future cash flow methodology (income approach) to estimate the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

2021 Credit Facility

Effective July 30, 2021, we entered into a $500 million credit facility (the “2021 Credit Facility”). The 2021 Credit Facility provides for a $400 million term loan (“Term Loan B”) and a $100 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The proceeds of

17

the Term Loan B, net of $14.8 million in related fees, were used to repay the $327 million outstanding balance under our then $450 million revolving credit facility and to provide for financial flexibility to fund future acquisitions and growth initiatives and for general corporate purposes.

LIBOR Transition Amendment

On February 6, 2023, we entered into the LIBOR Transition Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). In accordance with the LIBOR replacement provisions outlined in the 2021 Credit Facility, additional credit spread adjustments apply to SOFR ranging from 0.11448% (for a one-month duration) up to 0.71513% (for a 12-month duration).

Term Loan B

The Term Loan B has a maturity date of July 30, 2028 and is subject to quarterly amortization of principal of $1.0 million. Interest rates are based on SOFR (plus additional credit spread adjustments as detailed above under “LIBOR Transition Amendment”) plus a 5.00% credit spread, with a SOFR floor of 0.50%. The Term Loan B carries no financial covenants.

As discussed in Note 13 – Derivative, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement that manages our exposure to interest rate increases on $300 million of borrowings under the Term Loan B and provides us with the right to receive payment if the one-month SOFR exceeds 5.0% (“strike rate”).

Revolving Credit Facility

The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 30, 2026. As of June 30, 2023, capacity remaining under the Revolving Credit Facility was $95.0 million, reflecting $100.0 million total facility size, less $5.0 million in outstanding letters of credit.

In addition to borrowing based on one, three, six, or twelve month SOFR tenors (plus additional credit spread adjustments as detailed above under “LIBOR Transition Amendment”), we also have the option to borrow based on the “Base Rate”, which for any day is a fluctuating rate equal to the highest of the Fed Funds Rate plus 0.50%, Bank of America’s publicly announced “prime rate”, and SOFR plus 1.00%. Credit spreads for SOFR and Base Rate borrowings are based on Viad’s total net leverage ratio and range from 2.50% to 3.50% for SOFR borrowings and from 1.50% to 3.50% for Base Rate borrowings. Additionally, a 1.00% floor applies to the Bate Rate.

The Revolving Credit Facility includes an undrawn fee ranging from

0.30

% to

0.50

% that is based on Viad’s total net leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Facility carries financial covenants. On March 23, 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility and on March 28, 2023, we entered into the Second Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility. The amendments modified the financial covenants to the following:

• Maintain a total net leverage ratio of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00 at June 30, 2023 and thereafter; and

• Maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00.

As of June 30, 2023, our total net leverage ratio was 2.91 to 1.00, the interest coverage ratio was 3.02 to 1.00, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility.

In addition to U.S. dollar borrowings, we may borrow funds on the Revolving Credit Facility in Canadian Dollars based on the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate, Pound Sterling based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average, and Euros based on the Euro Interbank Offered Rate, plus applicable credit spreads. No such borrowings had been made as of June 30, 2023.

Forest Park Hotel Construction Loan Facility

Effective May 17, 2022, Pursuit, through a 60% owned subsidiary, entered into a construction loan facility for borrowings up to $17.0 million Canadian dollars (approximately $13.3 million U.S. dollars) for the development and construction of the Forest Park Hotel in Jasper National Park. Construction of the hotel was completed in August 2022. During January 2023, we completed our final borrowing under the construction loan facility bringing the total amount borrowed to approximately $16.8 million Canadian dollars.

The construction loan facility required interest only payments at Canada Prime plus 2.35% through January 31, 2023, at which time it was converted to a 6.5% fixed rate term loan. On May 16, 2023, Pursuit entered into an amendment to the Forest Park Hotel Construction Loan Facility wherein the loan was converted into a $27.0 million Canadian dollars (approximately $20.0 million U.S. dollars) credit facility (the “Jasper Credit Facility”). See below for additional details.

Jasper Credit Facility

The Jasper Credit Facility provides for a $17.0 million Canadian dollars term loan (“Jasper Term Loan”) and a $10.0 million Canadian dollars revolving credit facility (“Jasper Revolving Credit Facility”). The Jasper Credit Facility matures on January 31, 2028.

18

The Jasper Revolving Credit Facility carries financial covenants as follows:

• Maintain a pre-compensation fixed-charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.30 to 1.00 during all periods; and

• Maintain a post-compensation fixed-charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00 during all periods.

As of June 30, 2023, the pre-compensation and post-compensation fixed-charge coverage ratio was 1.94 to 1.00, and Pursuit was in compliance with all covenants under the Jasper Credit Facility.

Jasper Term Loan

The proceeds of the Jasper Term Loan reflect the outstanding balance of the Forest Park Construction Loan Facility at the time it was converted to the Jasper Term Loan of $16.8 million Canadian dollars. The Jasper Term Loan bears interest at a 6.5% fixed rate.

Jasper Revolving Credit Facility

The proceeds of the Jasper Revolving Credit Facility will be used to fund capital improvements. As of June 30, 2023, capacity remaining under the Jasper Revolving Credit Facility was $6.0 million Canadian dollars. The Jasper Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus 2.25%.

FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility

Effective February 15, 2019, FlyOver Iceland ehf., (“FlyOver Iceland”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Esja, entered into a credit agreement with a €5.0 million (approximately $5.6 million U.S. dollars) credit facility (the “FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility”) with an original maturity date of March 1, 2022. The loan proceeds were used to complete the development of the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The loan bears interest at the three month Euro Interbank Offered Rate plus 4.9%.

FlyOver Iceland entered into an addendum effective December 1, 2021 wherein the principal payments were deferred for twelve months beginning December 1, 2021, with the first payment due December 1, 2022. The addendum extended the maturity date to March 1, 2025, which was further extended to September 1, 2027 by way of an option as permitted in the addendum, and provided for a semi-annual waiver of certain covenants through June 30, 2022 with the first testing date as of December 31, 2022. Conditions to the addendum included securing additional capital of ISK 75.0 million (approximately $0.6 million) in January 2022, which was completed, in order to strengthen FlyOver Iceland’s liquidity position. There were no other changes to the terms of the FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility. Effective November 2, 2022, FlyOver Iceland received a financial covenant waiver for the 2022 through 2023 testing periods.

FlyOver Iceland Term Loans

During 2020, FlyOver Iceland entered into three term loans totaling ISK 90.0 million (approximately $0.7 million U.S. dollars) (the “FlyOver Iceland Term Loans”). The first term loan for ISK 10.0 million was entered into effective October 15, 2020 and matured on April 1, 2023. It bore interest on a seven-day term deposit rate at the Central Bank of Iceland. The second term loan for ISK 30.0 million was entered into effective October 15, 2020 with a maturity date of October 1, 2024 and bears interest on a seven-day term deposit at the Central Bank of Iceland plus 3.07%. The third term loan for ISK 50.0 million was entered into effective December 29, 2020 with an original maturity date of February 1, 2023 and bears interest at one-month Reykjavik InterBank Offered Rate (“REIBOR”) plus 4.99%. Effective November 23, 2022, FlyOver Iceland entered into an amendment to the ISK 50.0 million term loan wherein the maturity date was extended to February 1, 2024. The Icelandic State Treasury guarantees supplemental loans provided by credit institutions to companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the Icelandic State Treasury guaranteed the repayment of up to 85% of the principal and interest on the ISK 10.0 million and ISK 30.0 million term loans and 70% of the principal amount on the ISK 50.0 million term loan. Loan proceeds were used to fund FlyOver Iceland operations.

Financing arrangements

We entered into insurance premium financing arrangements with two financial intermediaries in order to finance certain of our insurance premium payments. The financing arrangements are payable within the next 12 months and bear a weighted average interest rate of 5.8%. The aggregate amount of premiums financed was $9.5 million with a remaining principal balance of $0.2 million as of June 30, 2023.

Note 13. Derivative

Interest Rate Cap

On January 4, 2023, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an effective date of January 31, 2023. The interest rate cap manages our exposure to interest rate increases on $300 million in borrowings under the Term Loan B and provides us with the right to receive payment if the one-month SOFR exceeds 5.0% (“strike rate”). Beginning on February 28, 2023, we pay a fixed monthly deferred premium based on an annual rate of 0.3335% for the interest rate cap, which matures on January 31, 2025.

19

We designated the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedge designed to hedge the variability of the SOFR-based interest payments on the Term Loan B. Changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” (“AOCI”) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts accumulated in AOCI are reclassified to “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged item affects earnings. We recognized $1.2 million of unrealized gains in AOCI during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and unrealized gains of $0.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, and approximately $0.2 million was reclassified to Interest expense, net, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. We estimate that $1.2 million will be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months.

The fair value of the interest rate cap is as follows:

June 30, December 31,
(in thousands) Classification 2023 2022
Derivatives designated as hedging instruments
Interest rate cap - short-term Other current assets $ 480 $ —
Interest rate cap - long-term Other investments and assets 201 —
Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments $ 681 $ —

The fair value of the interest rate cap is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques and reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate cap including the period to maturity. While there are no quoted prices in active markets, our calculation uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The interest rate cap is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 14 – Fair Value Measurements for related fair value disclosures.

Note 14. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset or liability is defined as the price that would be received by selling an asset or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted prices and other observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value.

The fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Obligations for the estimated fair value of debt obligations.

Note 15. Income (Loss) Per Share

The components of basic and diluted income (loss) per share are as follows:

Diluted income (loss) attributable to Viad common stockholders(1) $ 0.33 $ 0.64 $ (0.66 ) $ (0.67 )

(1) Diluted loss per share amount cannot exceed basic loss per share.

Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or if-converted method. The two-class method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than the participating securities. The if-converted method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares including the participating securities. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted share units and convertible preferred stock. We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per common share as unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and preferred stock are considered participating securities. Accordingly, such securities are included in the earnings allocation in calculating income (loss) per share. The adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is reflected in income (loss) per common share.

We excluded the following weighted-average potential common shares from the calculations of diluted net loss per common share during the applicable periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Note 16. Common and Preferred Stock

Convertible Series A Preferred Stock

On August 5, 2020, we entered into an investment agreement with funds managed by private equity firm Crestview Partners (the “Investment Agreement”), relating to the issuance of 135,000 shares of newly issued Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $135 million or $1,000 per share. The $135 million issuance was offset in part by $9.2 million of expenses related to the capital raise. We have classified the Convertible Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the existence of certain change in control provisions that are not solely within our control.

The 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 at the option of the holders into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $21.25 per share. Dividends paid-in-kind increase the redemption value of the preferred stock. The redemption value of the preferred stock was $141.8 million as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Upon the occurrence of a change in control event, the holders have a right to require Viad to repurchase such preferred stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, $3.9 million of dividends were declared, all of which were paid in cash. We intend to pay preferred stock dividends in cash for the foreseeable future.

Holders of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of Viad’s common stock on an as-converted basis.

Common Stock Repurchases

Our Board of Directors previously authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. Effective February 7, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares. In March 2020, our Board of Directors suspended our share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2023, 546,283 shares remain available for repurchase under all prior authorizations.

Amounts reclassified from AOCI that relate to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans include the amortization of prior service costs and actuarial net losses recognized during each period presented. We recorded these costs as components of net periodic cost for each period presented. Refer to Note 19 – Pension and Postretirement Benefits for additional information.

Note 18. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 30.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a negative 86.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rate was 14.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and a negative 8.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

22

The income tax provision was computed based on our estimated annualized effective tax rate and the full-year forecasted income or loss plus the tax impact of unusual, infrequent, or nonrecurring significant items during the period. The rate was higher than the 21% federal rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 as we did not recognize the tax benefits on losses recognized in the United States, United Kingdom, and other European Countries while recognizing a tax expense primarily in Canada and Iceland. The effective tax rate was lower for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 due the amount of change in pre-tax income and loss recognized between those jurisdictions where we recognize a tax expense or benefit and those jurisdictions where there is a valuation allowance. The six month effective tax rate ended on June 30, 2023 was further impacted by the release of $2.1 million of our valuation allowance during the first quarter on the deferred tax assets recorded on certain US separate state filings.

We paid net cash for income taxes of $4.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $12.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, of which $9.6 million of the $12.7 million was paid to Canadian tax authorities. We received net cash refunds of $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and paid net cash for income taxes of $0.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

We expect to contribute $0.6 million to our funded pension plans, $0.8 million to our unfunded pension plans, and $0.7 million to our postretirement benefit plans in 2023. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, we contributed $0.3 million to our funded pension plans, $0.4 million to our unfunded pension plans, and $0.3 million to our postretirement benefit plans.

Note 20. Restructuring Charges

GES

As part of our efforts to drive efficiencies and simplify our business operations, we took certain restructuring actions designed to simplify and transform GES for greater profitability. These initiatives resulted in restructuring charges related to the elimination of certain positions and continuing to reduce our facility footprint at GES.

Other Restructurings

We recorded restructuring charges in connection with certain reorganization activities within Pursuit. These charges primarily consist of severance and related benefits due to headcount reductions.

Changes to the restructuring liability by major restructuring activity are as follows:

As of June 30, 2023, $1.5 million of the liabilities related to severance and employee benefits and $1.5 million of liabilities related to facilities will remain unpaid by the end of 2023. The liabilities related to facilities primarily include dilapidations and non-lease expenses that will be paid over the remaining lease terms.

Lease Not Yet Commenced

As of June 30, 2023, we had executed a facility lease for which we did not have control of the underlying assets. Accordingly, we did not record the lease liability and ROU asset on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. This lease is for a new FlyOver attraction, FlyOver Canada Toronto. The lease commencement date was originally planned for 2023, however, it has been postponed due to permitting and other related delays. Upon commencement date, it will have a lease term of 20 years.

Note 22. Litigation, Claims, Contingencies, and Other

We are plaintiffs or defendants in various actions, proceedings, and pending claims, some of which involve, or may involve, compensatory, punitive, or other damages. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the legal actions, proceedings, or claims could be decided against us. Although the amount of liability as of June 30, 2023 with respect to unresolved legal matters is not ascertainable, we believe that any resulting liability, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our business, financial position, or results of operations.

On July 18, 2020, an off-road Ice Explorer operated by our Pursuit business was involved in an accident while enroute to the Athabasca Glacier, resulting in three fatalities and multiple other serious injuries. We immediately reported the accident to our relevant insurance carriers, who have supported our investigation and subsequent claims relating to the accident. In May 2023, we resolved charges from the Canadian office of Occupational Health and Safety in relation to this accident, resulting in fines and related payments in an aggregate amount of $0.5 million Canadian dollars (approximately $0.3 million U.S. dollars). We continue to manage our legal defense of various claims from the victims and their families. In addition, we believe that our reserves and, subject to customary deductibles, our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover potential claims related to this accident.

We are subject to various United States federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution and the protection of the environment in the jurisdictions in which we have or had operations. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws and regulations, civil and criminal penalties could be imposed, and we could become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of injunctions and cease and desist orders. As is the case with many companies, we also face exposure to actual or potential claims and lawsuits involving environmental matters relating to our past operations. As of June 30, 2023, we had recorded environmental remediation liabilities of $2.2 million related to previously sold operations. Although we are a party to certain environmental disputes, we believe that any resulting liabilities, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

As of June 30, 2023, on behalf of our subsidiaries, we had certain obligations under guarantees to third parties. These guarantees are not subject to liability recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements and relate to leased facilities and equipment leases entered into by our subsidiary operations. We would generally be required to make payments to the respective third parties under these guarantees in the event that the related subsidiary could not meet its own payment obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we would be required to make under all guarantees existing as of June 30, 2023 would be approximately $89.0 million. These guarantees relate to our leased equipment and facilities through January 2044. There are no recourse provisions that would enable us to recover from third parties any payments made under the guarantees. Furthermore, there are no collateral or similar arrangements pursuant to which we could recover payments.

A significant number of our employees are unionized and we are a party to approximately 100 collective bargaining agreements, with approximately one-third requiring renegotiation each year. If we are unable to reach an agreement with a union during the collective bargaining process, the union may call for a strike or work stoppage, which may, under certain circumstances, adversely impact our business and results of operations. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory and that collective bargaining agreements expiring in 2023 will be renegotiated in the ordinary course of business. Although our labor relations are currently stable, disruptions could occur, with the possibility of an adverse impact on the operating results of GES.

26

We are self-insured up to certain limits for workers’ compensation and general liabilities, which includes automobile, product general liability, and client property loss claims. The aggregate amount of insurance liabilities (up to our retention limit) related to our continuing operations was $11.0 million as of June 30, 2023, which includes $6.5 million related to workers’ compensation liabilities, and $4.5 million related to general liability claims. We have also retained and provided for certain workers’ compensation insurance liabilities in conjunction with previously sold businesses of $2.0 million as of June 30, 2023. We are also self-insured for certain employee health benefits and the estimated employee health benefit claims incurred but not yet reported was $1.5 million as of June 30, 2023. Provisions for losses for claims incurred, including actuarially derived estimated claims incurred but not yet reported, are made based on our historical experience, claims frequency, and other factors. A change in the assumptions used could result in an adjustment to recorded liabilities. We have purchased insurance for amounts in excess of the self-insured levels, which generally range from $0.2 million to $0.5 million on a per claim basis. We do not maintain a self-insured retention pool fund as claims are paid from current cash resources at the time of settlement. Our net cash payments in connection with these insurance liabilities were $0.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and $1.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

In addition, as of June 30, 2023, we have recorded insurance liabilities of $8.2 million related to continuing operations, which represents the amount for which we remain the primary obligor after self-insured insurance limits, without taking into consideration the above-referenced insurance coverage. Of this total, $6.4 million is related to workers’ compensation liabilities and $1.8 million is related to general/auto liability claims, which is recorded in “Other deferred items and liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding receivable in “Other investments and assets.”

Note 23. Noncontrolling Interests – Redeemable and Non-redeemable

Redeemable noncontrolling interest

On November 3, 2017, we acquired the controlling interest (54.5% of the common stock) in Esja, a private corporation in Reykjavik, Iceland. Subsequent to additional capital contributions, our equity ownership increased to 56.4% as of June 30, 2023. Through Esja and its wholly-owned subsidiary, we are operating the FlyOver Iceland attraction.

The minority Esja shareholders have the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a multiple of 5.0x EBITDA as calculated on the trailing 12 months from the most recently completed quarter before the put option exercise. The put option is only exercisable after August 2022 (the “Reference Date”), and in the event the FlyOver Iceland attraction has earned a minimum of €3.25 million in unadjusted EBITDA during the most recent fiscal year and during the trailing 12-month period prior to exercise (the “Put Option Condition”). The put option is exercisable during a period of 12 months following the Reference Date (the “Option Period”) if the Put Option Condition has been met. If the Put Option Condition has not been met during the first Option Period, the Reference Date will be extended for an additional 12 months up to three times. If the Put Option Condition is met during any of the Option Periods, yet the shares are not exercised prior to the end of the 12-month Option Period, the put option will expire. The Put Option Condition has not been met as of June 30, 2023. If the FlyOver Iceland attraction has not achieved the Put Option Condition by December 31, 2024, the put option expires.

The noncontrolling interest’s carrying value is determined by the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date and the noncontrolling interest’s share of the subsequent net income or loss. This value is benchmarked against the redemption value of the sellers’ put option. The carrying value is adjusted to the redemption value, provided that it does not fall below the initial carrying value, as determined by the purchase price allocation. We have made a policy election to reflect any changes caused by such an adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit), rather than to current earnings (loss).

Changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest are as follows:

Balance at December 31, 2022 $ 4,956
Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest (409 )
Foreign currency translation adjustment 180
Balance at June 30, 2023 $ 4,727

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. Our non-redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the equity ownership interest that we do not own.

Note 24. Segment Information

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer.

We measure the profit and performance of our operations on the basis of segment operating income (loss) which excludes restructuring charges, impairment charges, and certain other corporate expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments. Intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation and intersegment transfers are not significant. Corporate activities include expenses not allocated to operations.

Our reportable segments, with reconciliations to consolidated totals, are as follows:

We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement except as required by applicable law or regulation.

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with our 2022 Form 10-K and the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes included in this Form 10-Q. The MD&A is intended to assist in understanding our financial condition and results of operations.

Overview

We are a leading global provider of extraordinary experiences, including hospitality and leisure activities, experiential marketing, and live events. We operate through three reportable segments: Pursuit, Spiro, and GES Exhibitions. Spiro and GES Exhibitions are both live event businesses, and are collectively referred to as “GES.”

Current Macroeconomic Factors

International tourism and live event activity continues to improve and demand for our products and services remains strong despite ongoing macroeconomic volatility. During the first half of 2023, we operated with little to no COVID-19 related disruptions, and supply chain and labor challenges continued to improve. Changes in macroeconomic facts and circumstances, particularly high inflation and the resulting rise in interest rates, have increased our interest expense. Any future impacts from these and other macroeconomic developments on our operations cannot be predicted with certainty, but could have adverse effects on our business, financial condition, and results of operations.

Seasonality

Pursuit’s peak activity occurs during the summer months. During 2022, 81% of Pursuit’s revenue was earned in the second and third quarters.

GES’ live event activity can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year depending on the frequency and timing of shows. Some shows are not held annually and some shift between quarters. Show rotation refers to shows that occur less frequently than annually, as well as annual shows that shift quarters from one year to the next.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022

• Total revenue increased $1.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to increased revenue at Pursuit of $10.9 million as Pursuit experienced higher international tourism in Western Canada and Iceland. GES revenue decreased $9.8 million due to the sale of substantially all of the assets of ON Services in December of 2022, which contributed revenue of $15.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and shifts in timing of events driven by pandemic-related disruptions in 2022 that resulted in shows that were postponed from the 2022 first quarter and into the 2022 second quarter that returned to their normal first quarter schedules in 2023 that impacted revenue of approximately $10.0 million, offset in part by increased live event activity and positive show rotation at GES.

• Net income attributable to Viad decreased $8.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflecting higher interest expense, net, of $4.6 million during the 2023 period, higher income tax expense of $1.7 million, and higher costs to support increased business activity, offset in part by higher revenue.

• Segment operating income decreased $3.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to lower revenue at GES and the restaffing of the workforce from pandemic levels, offset in part by higher revenue at Pursuit as demand for its products and services increased.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022

• Total revenue increased $84.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 primarily due to increased revenue at GES of $64.8 million, which was driven by live event activity strength, offset in part by the sale of substantially all of the assets of ON Services in December of 2022, which contributed revenue of $24.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Pursuit revenue increased $19.8 million primarily due to stronger international visitation.

• Net loss attributable to Viad increased $0.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily reflecting higher interest expense, net, of $11.0 million, and higher income tax expense of $3.7 million, offset in part by higher segment operating income.

• Segment operating income increased $14.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023, primarily due to higher revenue at GES and Pursuit.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022

Pursuit revenue increased $10.9 million driven by stronger international visitation in Western Canada and Iceland. Visitation at Pursuit’s Golden Skybridge, Sky Lagoon, and Banff Gondola attractions increased 62%, 22% and 17%, respectively. Collectively, Pursuit’s new attractions that were opened or acquired after January 1, 2022, including the Glacier Raft Company and Forest Park Alpine Hotel, contributed incremental revenue of $1.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Pursuit segment operating income increased $4.2 million from the prior year period primarily due to the increase in revenue, offset in part by the increase in operating costs to support higher business volume during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022

Pursuit revenue increased $19.8 million driven by stronger international visitation. Visitation at Pursuit’s Golden Skybridge, Sky Lagoon and Banff Gondola attractions increased 62%, 43% and 20%, respectively. Collectively, Pursuit’s new attractions that were opened or acquired after January 1, 2022, including the Glacier Raft Company and Forest Park Alpine Hotel, contributed incremental revenue of $2.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Pursuit segment operating loss improved $6.3 million from the prior year period primarily due to the increase in revenue, offset in part by the increase in operating costs to support higher business volume during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Performance Measures

We use the following key business metrics to evaluate the performance of Pursuit’s attractions business:

• Number of visitors. The number of visitors allows us to assess the volume of tickets sold at each attraction during the period.

• Revenue per attraction visitor. Revenue per attraction visitor is calculated as total attractions revenue divided by the total number of visitors at all Pursuit attractions during the period. Total attractions revenue includes ticket sales and ancillary revenue generated by attractions, such as food and beverage and retail revenue. Total attractions revenue per visitor measures the total spend per visitor that attraction properties are able to capture, which is important to the profitability of the attractions business.

• Effective ticket price. Effective ticket price is calculated as revenue from the sale of attraction tickets divided by the total number of visitors at all comparable Pursuit attractions during the period.

We use the following key business metrics, common in the hospitality industry, to evaluate Pursuit’s hospitality business:

• Revenue per Available Room (“RevPAR”). RevPAR is calculated as total rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights available for all comparable Pursuit hospitality properties during the period. Total rooms revenue does not include non-rooms revenue, which consists of ancillary revenue generated by hospitality properties, such as food and beverage and retail revenue. RevPAR measures the period-over-period change in rooms revenue per available room for comparable hospitality properties. RevPAR is affected by average daily rate and occupancy, which have different implications on profitability.

• Average Daily Rate (“ADR”). ADR is calculated as total rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights sold for all comparable Pursuit hospitality properties during the period. ADR is used to assess the pricing levels that the hospitality properties are able to realize. Increases in ADR lead to increases in rooms revenue with no substantial effect on variable costs, therefore having a greater impact on margins than increases in occupancy.

• Occupancy. Occupancy is calculated as the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available for all comparable Pursuit hospitality properties during the period. Occupancy measures the utilization of the available capacity at the hospitality properties. Increases in occupancy result in increases in rooms revenue and additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities, and room amenity costs), as well as increases in ancillary non-rooms revenue (including food and beverage and retail revenue).

(1) New experiences comprise the following attractions that were opened or acquired after January 1, 2022: the Glacier Raft Company (acquired April 2022) and Forest Park Alpine Hotel (opened August 2022).

(2) Same-Store metrics include only attractions and lodging properties that Pursuit operated at full capacity, considering seasonal closures, for the entirety of both periods presented. For experiences located outside the United States, financial metric comparisons to the prior year are expressed on a constant U.S. dollar basis.

(3) Foreign exchange rate variance effects (or “FX Impact”) represents the adjustments necessary to express prior financial metrics on a constant U.S. dollar basis, using the current year quarterly average exchange rates for previous periods to eliminate the impact of changes in exchange rates for same-store Pursuit experiences located outside of the United States.

Attractions. Attractions ticket revenue on a same-store basis increased $8.1 million on a 23.0% increase in visitors during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and increased $13.8 million on a 27.9% increase in visitors during the six months ended June 30, 2023, driven primarily by higher international visitation and higher effective ticket prices.

Hospitality. The increase in RevPAR on a same-store basis during the three months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher ADR driven by revenue management efforts. The increase in RevPAR on a same-store basis during the six months ended June 30, 2023 was driven by higher occupancy and higher ADR.

GES

(1) Refer to Note 24 – Segment Information of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measure, segment operating income, to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Three months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2022

Spiro revenue decreased $9.1 million primarily due to the sale of substantially all of the assets of ON Services in December of 2022, which contributed revenue of $9.2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and shifts in timing of client spend, offset in part by positive show rotation from major non-annual shows of approximately $13 million, which represent shows greater than $1.0 million, and new client wins.

GES Exhibitions revenue remained relatively flat primarily due to same-show revenue growth of approximately 18.9%, offset in part by shifts in timing of events driven by pandemic-related disruptions in 2022 that resulted in shows that were postponed from the 2022 first quarter and into the 2022 second quarter that returned to their normal first quarter schedules in 2023 that impacted revenue of approximately $10.0 million, the sale of substantially all of the assets of ON Services in December of 2022, which contributed revenue of $6.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, and negative show rotation from major non-annual shows of approximately $3 million.

Spiro segment operating income decreased $6.6 million primarily due to decreased revenue and the restaffing of the workforce from pandemic levels.

GES Exhibitions segment operating income decreased $0.9 million primarily due to the restaffing of the workforce from pandemic levels.

Six months ended June 30, 2023 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2022

Spiro revenue increased $8.5 million primarily due to positive show rotation from major non-annual shows of approximately $16 million and new client wins, offset in part by the sale of substantially all of the assets of ON Services in December of 2022, which contributed revenue of $14.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, and shifts in timing of client spend.

GES Exhibitions revenue increased $57.6 million, primarily due to same-show revenue growth of approximately 23.8% and positive show rotation of approximately $2 million, offset in part by the sale of substantially all of the assets of ON Services in December of 2022, which contributed revenue of $9.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Spiro segment operating income decreased $3.2 million primarily due to the restaffing of the workforce from pandemic levels, offset in part by higher revenue.

GES Exhibitions segment operating income increased $10.8 million, primarily due to the increase in revenue, offset in part by the restaffing of the workforce from pandemic levels.

** Change is greater than +/- 100%

Interest Expense, net – The increase in interest expense during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily due to higher interest rates in 2023, and to a lesser extent to a $1.9 million reduction in capitalized interest recorded during the six months ended June 30, 2023 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Restructuring Charges – The decrease in restructuring changes during the three and six months ended June 30, 2023 was primarily related to our 2022 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.

Income Tax Expense – The effective tax rate was 30.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and 14.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate was a negative 86.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and a negative 8.0% for six months ended June 30, 2022. The effective tax rate differed from the 21% federal rate for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 as a result of excluding the tax benefit on jurisdictions where we have a valuation allowance and the change in income or loss in our jurisdictions. The effective tax rate differed from the federal rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and June 30, 2022 also as a result of excluding tax benefits in certain jurisdictions, the mix of income or loss by jurisdiction, and the $2.1 million benefit taken in the first quarter of 2023 on certain separate U.S. state jurisdictions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations and projected capital outlays for at least the next 12 months and the longer term.

When assessing our current sources of liquidity, we include the following:

June 30, December 31,
(in thousands) 2023 2022
Unrestricted cash and cash equivalents(1) $ 53,179 $ 59,719
Available capacity on Revolving Credit Facility(2) 95,041 86,670
Total available liquidity $ 148,220 $ 146,389

(1) As of June 30, 2023, we held approximately $41.5 million of our cash and cash equivalents outside of the United States, consisting of $15.4 million in Canada, $10.3 million in Iceland, $8.9 million in the United Arab Emirates, $2.7 million in the United Kingdom, $2.4 million in the Netherlands, $1.4 million in Germany, and $0.4 million in other countries.

(2) Includes our total Revolving Credit Facility of $100 million less outstanding letters of credit of $5.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and $13.3 million as of December 31, 2022.

Cash provided by operating activities, supplemented by our existing cash and cash equivalents, is our primary source of liquidity for funding our strategic business requirements. During the six months ended June 30, 2023, net cash provided by operating activities was $38.8 million.

Our short-term and long-term funding requirements include debt obligations, capital expenditures, working capital requirements, and potential acquisitions and strategic investments as we focus on scaling Pursuit with investments in high-return unforgettable, inspiring experiences through its Refresh, Build, Buy growth strategy. Our projected capital outlays can be adjusted for changes in the operating environment.

Debt Obligations

Effective July 30, 2021, we entered into the $500 million 2021 Credit Facility. The 2021 Credit Facility provides for a $400 million Term Loan B and a $100 million Revolving Credit Facility. The proceeds of the Term Loan B, net of $14.8 million in related fees, were used to repay the $327 million outstanding balance under our then $450 million revolving credit facility and to provide for financial flexibility to fund future acquisitions and growth initiatives and for general corporate purposes. On January 4, 2023, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an effective date of January 31, 2023. The interest rate cap manages our exposure to interest rate increases on $300 million in borrowings under the Term Loan B. Refer to Note 13 – Derivative of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for additional information.

The Revolving Credit Facility carries financial covenants. On March 28, 2023, we entered into the Second Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility, which modified the interest coverage financial covenant. As of June 30, 2023, we were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility. Refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Obligations of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for additional information.

Capital Expenditures

As of June 30, 2023, we have planned capital expenditures of approximately $75 million to $85 million for the next 12 months, including approximately $35 million on select growth projects, such as the development of FlyOver Chicago. We intend to continue making selective investments to advance Pursuit’s Refresh, Build, Buy growth strategy while maintaining a solid liquidity position.

Other Obligations

We have additional obligations as part of our ordinary course of business, beyond those committed for debt obligations and capital expenditures. Refer to Note 21 – Leases and Other and Note 19 – Pension and Postretirement Benefits of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for further information. The expected timing of payments of our

obligations is estimated based on current information. Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different, depending on changes to agreed-upon amounts for certain obligations.

Debt and Finance Obligations

Refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Obligations of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for further discussion, all of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Share Repurchases

Our Board of Directors previously authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. Effective February 7, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares. As of June 30, 2023, 546,283 shares remained available for repurchase under all prior authorizations. In March 2020, our Board of Directors suspended our share repurchase program. The Board of Directors’ authorization does not have an expiration date.

During both the 2023 and 2022 periods, we repurchased shares related to tax withholding requirements on vested restricted share-based awards.

Critical Accounting Estimates

Refer to Part II, Item 7 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of our 2022 Form 10-K for a discussion of our critical accounting estimates.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 – Overview and Basis of Presentation of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for further information.

Non-GAAP Measure

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with GAAP, we also disclose segment operating income (loss) as a non-GAAP financial measure. Our use of segment operating income (loss) is supplemental to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. As not all companies use identical calculations, segment operating income (loss) may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We believe that our use of segment operating income (loss) provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations for trending, analyzing, and benchmarking our performance and the value of our business.

“Segment operating income (loss)” is net income (loss) attributable to Viad before income (loss) from discontinued operations, corporate activities, interest expense and interest income, income taxes, restructuring charges, impairment charges, and certain other corporate expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments, and the reduction for income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests. Segment operating income (loss) is used to measure the profit and performance of our operating segments to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Refer to Note 24 – Segment Information of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

We believe segment operating income (loss) is a useful operating metric as it eliminates potential variations arising from taxes, debt service costs, impairment charges, restructuring charges, the reduction of income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests, and the effects of discontinued operations, resulting in an additional measure considered to be indicative of our ongoing operations and segment performance. Although we use segment operating income (loss) to assess the performance of our business, the use of this measure is limited because this measure does not consider material costs, expenses, and other items necessary to operate, or resulting from, our business. As segment operating income (loss) does not consider these items, net income (loss) attributable to Viad should be considered as an important measure of financial performance because it provides a more complete measure of our performance.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Foreign exchange risk is the risk that fluctuating exchange rates will adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. The foreign exchange risk is composed of both potential losses from the translation of foreign currency financial information and the remeasurement of foreign currency transactions. Interest rate risk is the risk that changing interest rates will adversely affect our financial position or results of operations.

Our foreign operations are primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom, Iceland, the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, and Germany. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. Accordingly, for purposes of consolidation, we translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The unrealized gains or losses resulting from the translation of these foreign denominated assets and liabilities are included as a component of AOCI in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result, significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relative to the

U.S. dollar may result in material changes to our net equity position reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not currently hedge our equity risk arising from the translation of foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We recorded cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation losses in stockholders’ equity of $35.0 million as of June 30, 2023 and $43.0 million as of December 31, 2022. We recorded unrealized foreign currency translation gains in other comprehensive income (loss) of $8.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 and unrealized foreign currency translation losses of $8.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

For purposes of consolidation, revenue, expenses, gains, and losses related to our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. As a result, our consolidated results of operations are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as revenue and segment operating income (loss) of our foreign operations, when translated, may vary from period to period, even when the functional currency amounts have not changed. Such fluctuations may adversely impact overall expected profitability and historical period-to-period comparisons. We do not currently hedge our earnings exposure arising from the translation of our foreign revenue and segment operating income (loss).

We are exposed to foreign exchange transaction risk, as our foreign subsidiaries have certain loans and leases denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective subsidiary. As of June 30, 2023, we had long-term contractual liabilities that were denominated in nonfunctional currencies of $47.4 million. As foreign exchange rates fluctuate, these liabilities are remeasured, and the corresponding adjustment is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we did not have any outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

On January 4, 2023, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an effective date of January 31, 2023 to hedge cash flows on $300 million of our Term Loan B. Refer to Note 13 – Derivative of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for further information. We are exposed to short-term and long-term interest rate risk on certain of our other debt obligations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2023. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2023.

Previously Reported Material Weakness in Controls over Financial Reporting

During our year-end close and review procedures for the year ended December 31, 2022, a material weakness was identified over the remeasurement of monetary liabilities in nonfunctional currencies as a result of the error identified in accounting for a finance lease at the Company’s Sky Lagoon attraction in Iceland, which impacted costs of services, long-term debt and finance obligations, and net income attributable to Viad after accounting for taxes and noncontrolling interests. This error was corrected in the Form 10-Q/A for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, which was filed on February 28, 2023.

Remediation of the Material Weakness

We designed and have tested the implementation and operation of an internal control as of June 30, 2023 to identify and account for monetary liabilities denominated in a foreign currency and the resulting transaction gains and losses from a change in exchange rates to address the above previously reported material weakness. We believe these measures remediated the previously reported material weakness. We remain committed to maintaining a strong internal control environment and implementing measures designed to ensure a strong control environment.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Other than the remediation of the material weakness described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

Refer to Note 22 – Litigation, Claims, Contingencies, and Other of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q) for information regarding legal proceedings in which we are involved, which information is incorporated by reference herein.
