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

**Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Viad for the twelve months ended December 31, 2022 reflects the correction of an error identified during our year-end close and review procedures related to the remeasurement of a finance lease obligation as of September 30, 2022. Additional details regarding this error can be found in a Form 8-K filed by the Company on February 9, 2023.

Steve Moster, Viad’s president and chief executive officer, commented, “We experienced very strong recovery across our businesses this year. Revenue more than doubled year-over-year and consolidated adjusted EBITDA reached $116.1 million. GES significantly outperformed our expectations as live event activity returned faster than we anticipated. Pursuit posted record revenue and added two new iconic experiences to its collection.”

Moster continued, “Our actions to scale Pursuit, transform GES Exhibitions’ cost structure, and strengthen Spiro’s capabilities are positioning us for strong future earnings potential. I am proud of our performance in 2022 and excited about the road ahead.”

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

**New Experiences comprises the following attractions and hotel properties that were opened or acquired after January 1, 2021: Sky Lagoon (opened May 2021), Golden Skybridge (acquired March 2021 and opened June 2021), FlyOver Las Vegas (opened September 2021), Glacier Raft Company (acquired April 2022), and Forest Park Hotel (opened August 2022).

Fourth Quarter

• Revenue increased $10.8 million (46%) from the 2021 fourth quarter.
  • Same-store revenue from experiences that were owned and open prior to 2021 increased $5.9 million primarily due to stronger visitation at our year-round Canadian experiences, which were impacted in 2021 by border restrictions.
  • Revenue from new experiences opened or acquired from 2021 forward increased $4.8 million, reflecting the continued ramping of Sky Lagoon and FlyOver Las Vegas as well as the addition of Forest Park Alpine Hotel.
• Adjusted EBITDA decreased by $1.4 million from the 2021 fourth quarter primarily due to higher expenses during the seasonally slow quarter, partially offset by the increase in revenue.

Regarding Pursuit’s results, Moster commented, “Full year revenue increased 60 percent from 2021 and reached record levels due to our Refresh, Build, Buy growth strategy. We are making significant progress scaling Pursuit through investing in new experiences and elevating our existing collection. Pursuit posted solid year-over-year growth in 2022 driven by improved international tourism to Canada and Iceland, continued strong results from our U.S. hotels, and incremental performance from our new experiences.”

Moster continued, “Our new experiences continue to build awareness and ramp with favorable contributions to both revenue and adjusted EBITDA. At FlyOver Las Vegas, our marketing and ticket distribution networking efforts are taking hold and resulted in a 21 percent sequential quarter increase in visitation. Sky Lagoon remained a strong performer and delivered a 61 percent increase in visitation from the 2021 fourth quarter. I look forward to seeing our iconic, unforgettable, and inspiring new experiences reach their full earnings potential.”

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

Fourth Quarter

• Revenue increased $53.7 million (34%) from the 2021 fourth quarter primarily driven by increased live event activity at both GES Exhibitions and Spiro.
• Adjusted EBITDA increased by $3.1 million from the 2021 fourth quarter primarily due to higher revenue, offset in part by higher costs to support increased business activity.

Regarding GES’ overall results, Moster commented, “GES delivered significant year-over-year growth in 2022 as live event activity improved at an accelerated pace. Same-show revenues for events produced by our U.S. exhibitions team grew from 67 percent of 2019 pre-pandemic levels in the 2021 fourth quarter to about 90 percent by the 2022 second quarter and remained at that level through the rest of the year. Spiro saw similar improvements in spending from corporate clients compared to 2019 pre-pandemic levels, and we are building our strong client roster with new business wins.”

Moster continued, “I am pleased with the transformational cost structure changes we implemented at GES that enabled us to maintain strong profitability as live events returned. We ended the year at a steady cost run rate for GES Exhibitions to continue servicing a more normalized level of event activity. We remain focused on building Spiro into a world-class, integrated marketing solutions agency through investing in creative talent and expanding our capabilities beyond the trade show floor to fuel growth. GES is well-positioned to return to generating meaningful positive free cash flow.”

Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Highlights

We ended the year with total liquidity of $146.4 million, comprising cash and cash equivalents of $59.7 million and $86.7 million of capacity available on our revolving credit facility ($100 million total facility size, less $13.3 million in letters of credit). Our debt totaled $481.8 million, including $395 million outstanding on our Term Loan B, financing lease obligations of approximately $65 million (which primarily comprises real estate leases at Pursuit), and approximately $22 million in other debt.

Our 2022 fourth quarter cash flow from operations was an outflow of approximately $33 million, our capital expenditures totaled approximately $12 million, and we paid approximately $2 million in cash dividends on our convertible preferred equity. Our net debt payments during the quarter were approximately $4 million.

On December 15, we completed the sale of the assets of ON Services, a US-based audio-visual services business that operated as part of GES, for cash proceeds of approximately $30 million. This transaction enhances our balance sheet and builds on the strategic transformational changes that we have implemented at GES over the past few years by further simplifying GES’ operating model.

Our 2022 full year cash flow from operations was an inflow of approximately $72 million, our capital expenditures totaled approximately $67 million. We acquired Glacier Raft Company for approximately $25 million and sold ON Services for approximately $30 million. We paid approximately $8 million in cash dividends on our convertible preferred equity and our net debt proceeds during the year were approximately $4 million.

Moster commented, “We remain focused on disciplined capital management, driving strong free cash flow at GES and investing in high-return growth opportunities at Pursuit. I am thrilled with the progress we have made to scale Pursuit with smart investments in extraordinary experiences through our Refresh, Build, Buy growth strategy. This year, we added a high-quality attraction experience to our Glacier Park Collection, opened a remarkable new hotel in downtown Jasper, and continued to make headway with other exciting growth investments, including FlyOver Chicago and a new mountain coaster at our Golden Skybridge attraction.”

2023 Outlook

Regarding Viad’s outlook, Moster commented, “We expect continued growth in 2023 and are sharply focused on maximizing performance from our existing businesses. Pursuit will have meaningful tailwinds from the lifting of COVID restrictions that restrained international visitation during much of 2021 and the continued acceleration of our new experiences. GES will see some headwinds from negative show rotation in the third quarter, which we expect to mostly offset with stronger first quarter performance and new wins at Spiro.”

Moster concluded, “We are experiencing strong advance bookings at Pursuit and healthy demand from GES Exhibitions and Spiro clients for 2023 with no signs of a slowdown in our industries at this point. That said, with an uncertain macro backdrop, we will make prudent decisions with respect to cost structure and capital investments to advance our strategic goals while also protecting our balance sheet.”

Our guidance for Pursuit is as follows:

(in millions)		First Quarter		Full Year		Key Assumptions
Pursuit
Revenue		$28 to $32 vs. $23.8 in 2022		Up ~10% to 15% vs. $299.3 in 2022		Expect revenue growth in 2023 will be driven by: Lifting of all COVID restrictions at the Canadian border Acceleration of new experiences Ongoing focus on improving the guest experience
Adjusted EBITDA		($14) to ($11) vs. ($11.5) in 2022		$85 to $95 vs. $67.9 in 2022		Anticipate FY margin expansion as visitation increases, the performance of newer experiences improves, and pandemic-era cost pressures ease

Our guidance for GES is as follows:

(in millions)		First Quarter		Full Year		Key Assumptions
GES
Revenue		$195 to $215 vs. $153.6 in 2022		Down ~5% vs. $828.0 in 2022		Expect GES will mostly offset the headwinds of negative show rotation revenue ($30M) and the sale of ON Services ($50M) in 2023 Exhibitions same show revenue expected to remain at ~90% of 2019 levels Spiro clients’ marketing spend expected to be similar to 2022, plus new client wins
Adjusted EBITDA		$8 to $11 vs. $2.7 in 2022		$48 to $58 vs. $61.3 in 2022		We intend to continue investing in Spiro to fuel growth in 2023 and beyond by expanding capabilities and adding new services

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures

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

TABLE ONE - NOTES TO QUARTERLY AND FULL YEAR RESULTS

(UNAUDITED)

(A)

Corporate Activities — The increase in corporate activities expense during 2022 relative to 2021 was primarily due to higher performance-based compensation expense.

(B)

Gain on Sale of 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. We recognized a gain on sale of approximately $19.6 million.

(C)

Restructuring (Charges) Recoveries — Restructuring charges during 2022 and 2021 were primarily related to facility closures and severance at GES. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we accelerated our 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.

(D)

Net Interest Expense — The increase in interest expense during 2022 relative to 2021 was primarily due to higher interest rates and higher debt balances in 2022, offset in part by $3.0 million in capitalized interest recorded during 2022. Additionally, as a result of the refinance and the repayment of our then 2018 Credit Facility, we recorded $2.1 million of interest expense related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs during 2021.

(E)

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit – Our effective income tax rate was 29% for 2022 as compared to 2% for 2021. The effective rate for 2022 was higher than the blended statutory rate primarily as a result of the higher mix of income earned in foreign jurisdictions where we do not have a valuation allowance. The effective rate for 2021 was lower than the blended statutory rate primarily as a result of excluding the tax benefit on losses recognized in the United States, the United Kingdom, and other European countries where we have a valuation allowance.

(F)

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 nonforteitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Accordingly, such securities are included in the earnings allocation in calculating income per share.

Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or as-converted method. 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.

Additionally, the adjustment to the carrying value of redeemable non-controlling interests is reflected in income (loss) per common share.

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

(G)

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

TABLE TWO - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(UNAUDITED)

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document includes the presentation of "Income (Loss) Before Other Items", "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.

Income (Loss) Before Other Items, 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 income before other items per share as it is a non-cash adjustment that does not affect net income or loss attributable to Viad.

(D)

Preferred stock and unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforteitable rights to dividends are considered participating securities. Accordingly, such securities are included in the earnings allocation in calculating income (loss) before other items per common share unless the effect of such inclusion is anti-dilutive. The following table provides the share data used for calculating the allocation to participating securities if applicable:
