Strong second quarter results exceed prior guidance
GES show performance and client spend remain strong; raising full year outlook
Pursuit experiencing stronger guest demand; wildfires in Jasper bring uncertainty to full year outlook

Viad Corp (NYSE:VVI), a leading global provider of extraordinary experiences, including attractions, hospitality, exhibition services, and experiential marketing, today reported results for the 2024 second quarter.

Steve Moster, Viad's President and Chief Executive Officer, commented, "We delivered very strong second quarter results that exceeded our expectations. Both Pursuit and GES have seen significant demand for our extraordinary experiences and achieved remarkable results. Pursuit's 14% revenue growth during the quarter was largely driven by strong performance from our attractions, with a 15% increase in visitors at higher effective ticket prices. GES continues to deliver solid profitable growth primarily from stronger high-margin corporate client spending and disciplined cost management."

Second Quarter Results

Revenue of $378.5 million increased $58.2 million (18.2%) from the 2023 second quarter.
- Pursuit revenue of $101.2 million increased $12.7 million (14.4%) year-over-year due to growth across our collections of properties, with particularly strong demand for our attractions and contribution from Flyover Chicago (opened March 2024).
- GES revenue of $277.3 million increased $45.5 million (19.6%) year-over-year primarily due to new client wins and continued underlying growth.
Net income attributable to Viad of $29.3 million increased $18.4 million and adjusted net income* of $29.2 million improved $17.4 million from the 2023 second quarter primarily due to stronger business performance from both GES and Pursuit, partially offset by higher depreciation expense.
Consolidated adjusted EBITDA* of $64.3 million increased $21.5 million from the 2023 second quarter.
- Pursuit adjusted EBITDA* of $23.7 million increased $4.2 million year-over-year primarily due to stronger revenue and improved margin.
- GES adjusted EBITDA of $44.4 million increased $17.6 million year-over-year primarily driven by higher revenue and significant margin expansion.

Cash Flow and Balance Sheet Highlights

Our cash flow from operations was an inflow of about $20 million for the second quarter.
Our capital expenditures for the second quarter totaled approximately $17 million, comprising $14.4 million for Pursuit (inclusive of about $6 million for growth projects) and $2.7 million for GES.
Our debt proceeds (net) totaled $2.5 million for the second quarter.
Our total liquidity was $128.4 million at June 30, 2024, comprising cash and cash equivalents of $49.0 million and $79.4 million of capacity available on our revolving credit facility.
Our debt was $490.9 million, and our net leverage ratio was 2.4 at the end of the second quarter.

Jasper Wildfire Update

As we previously reported by 8-K, Jasper National Park was closed and evacuated on July 22, 2024, and a wildfire entered the Jasper townsite on July 24, 2024. The Municipality of Jasper reported that about 70% of the town, including homes, businesses and hotels were thankfully untouched by fire and are intact. All critical municipal infrastructure was successfully protected, and power is being restored as authorities work to safely re-open the town.

All Pursuit hotels and experiences in the Jasper townsite, as well as our Pyramid Lake Lodge, Miette Mountain Cabins, and Maligne Lake Boat Cruise were not reached by the fire and remain intact. Our known property losses have been limited to the Maligne Canyon Wilderness Kitchen, a restaurant and retail operation about 3 miles outside the town of Jasper.

The majority of the park, including the town of Jasper, remains closed as authorities continue work to control the fire and restore critical services to the Jasper townsite. Parks Canada communicated that if current conditions continue, visitor services in the park are expected to resume September 3, 2024.

We are working with our insurance carriers to determine the extent of potential recoveries from our policies, which will be highly fact determinative based on what we learn when we and our insurance adjusters are able to access our properties.

2024 Outlook

Steve Moster, Viad's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "Given our stronger than expected performance during the first half of 2024 and the favorable underlying demand trends we are seeing, we were prepared to raise our full year guidance. However, following the Jasper wildfire activity, which resulted in the temporary closure of our properties in the area, we are providing revised guidance for Pursuit that estimates the potential impact. For GES, we are raising our full year Adjusted EBITDA guidance range by $5 million."

Our guidance for Viad consolidated, Pursuit, and GES is below. Pursuit's guidance range assumes Jasper National Park re-opens on September 3 and is subject to change due to the evolving wildfire situation. We will update as appropriate during the third quarter.

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, transaction-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.

TABLE ONE - NOTES TO QUARTERLY RESULTS (UNAUDITED)

(A) Corporate Activities - The increase in corporate activities is primarily due to increased consulting costs.

(B) Income tax expense – The effective tax rate was 16.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2024, 30.0% for the three months ended June 30, 2023, 63.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2024, and a negative 86.2% for six months ended June 30, 2023. The effective tax rates differed from the 21% federal rate as we do not recognize a tax benefit primarily on losses in the United States where we have a valuation allowance. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, we also recorded a $1.1 million benefit for the release of the valuation allowance recorded on the United Kingdom's tax loss carryforwards, offset by a $0.5 million expense during the first quarter of 2024 to record estimated withholding taxes associated with repatriating Sky Lagoon's earnings and a valuation allowance against the tax credit generated from this withholding tax. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023, was further impacted by the release of a valuation allowance of $2.1 million during the first quarter of 2023 on deferred tax assets associated with certain separate state filings, which more than offset taxes due in jurisdictions without a valuation allowance.

(C) Income (Loss) per Common Share — We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per common share as preferred stock and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable 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. 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 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.

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

TABLE TWO - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document includes the presentation of "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)", "Adjusted EBITDA", "Segment Operating Income (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 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 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 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 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 Net Income (Loss), Segment Operating Income (Loss), and Adjusted Segment Operating Income (Loss) are considered 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 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. 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 projects, both from a valuation and return perspective.

(B) Remeasurement of finance lease obligation attributable to Viad represents the non-cash foreign exchange loss/(gain) included within Cost of Services related to the periodic remeasurement of the Sky Lagoon finance lease obligation that is attributed to Viad's 51% interest in Sky Lagoon.

(C) We exclude the adjustment to the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interest from the calculation of adjusted net income (loss) per share as it is a non-cash adjustment that does not affect net income or loss attributable to Viad.
