Full Year Results

• | Revenue of $1.2 billion increased $111.4 million (9.9%) from the 2022 full year.

o | Pursuit revenue of $350.3 million increased $51.0 million (17.0%) year-over-year, primarily driven by stronger international tourism to Western Canada and Iceland, as well as revenue management efforts to capture higher revenue per guest.

o | GES revenue of $888.4 million increased $60.4 million (7.3%) year-over-year, primarily due to improved demand for exhibition management and experiential marketing services, which more than offset a $74 million year-over-year revenue impact from the sale of a non-core audio visual services business in 2022 and the timing of major non-annual shows.

• | Net income attributable to Viad of $16.0 million decreased $7.2 million from the 2022 full year primarily due to a $19.6 million gain on the sale of a non-core audio visual business in the prior year, as well as higher interest expense and income tax expense, partially offset by improved business performance.

o | Net income before other items* (adjusted net income) of $18.6 million increased $6.3 million (50.9%) primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by increased interest expense and income tax expense.

• | Consolidated adjusted EBITDA* of $147.0 million increased $30.9 million (26.6%) from the 2022 full year.

o | Pursuit adjusted EBITDA* of $92.6 million increased $24.7 million (36.3%) year-over-year primarily driven by higher revenue and improved margin.

o | GES adjusted EBITDA of $68.2 million increased $6.9 million (11.3%) year-over-year primarily driven by higher revenue and improved margin.

Fourth Quarter Results

• | Revenue of $291.7 million increased $43.7 million (17.6%) from the 2022 fourth quarter.

o | Pursuit revenue of $42.2 million increased $8.1 million (23.6%) year-over-year primarily due to higher visitation and improved revenue per guest.

o | GES revenue of $249.5 million increased $35.6 million (16.6%) year-over-year primarily due to continued underlying growth and about $9 million of incremental revenue from non-annual shows, partially offset by the loss of $13 million in revenue from a non-core audio visual services business that was sold in 2022.

• | Net loss attributable to Viad of $15.3 million increased $9.6 million from the 2022 fourth quarter primarily due to a $19.6 million gain on the sale of a non-core audio visual business in 2022 and higher income tax expense, partially offset by improved business performance.

o | Net loss before other items* (adjusted net loss) of $14.6 million improved by $10.9 million primarily due to higher adjusted EBITDA, partially offset by higher income tax expense.

• | Consolidated adjusted EBITDA* of $14.5 million increased $16.5 million from the 2022 fourth quarter.

o | Pursuit negative adjusted EBITDA* of $8.3 million improved by $2.9 million year-over-year primarily driven by higher revenue during the seasonally slow quarter.

o | GES adjusted EBITDA of $26.6 million increased $13.9 million year-over-year primarily due to higher revenue and improved margin.

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

VIAD CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES TABLE ONE - NOTES TO QUARTERLY AND FULL YEAR RESULTS (UNAUDITED)
(A) | 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.
(B) | Restructuring (Charges) Recoveries – Restructuring charges during the years ended 2023 and 2022 were 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.
(C) | Net Interest Expense – The increase in interest expense during the year ended 2023 relative to 2022 was primarily due to higher interest rates in 2023.
(D) | Income Tax Expense – The effective tax rate was 43.6% for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 28.8% for the year ended December 31, 2022. We generated higher income in 2023 than 2022 in our tax jurisdictions without a valuation allowance (VA) and were not able to recognize a benefit on losses in our jurisdictions with a VA. The effective tax rate was negative 48.3% for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 6.1% for the three months ended December 31, 2022. In the fourth quarter of 2023, we generated higher income in our tax jurisdictions without a VA than in 2022 and were not able to recognize a benefit on losses in our jurisdictions with a VA.
(E) | Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations — The loss from discontinued operations during the year ended 2023 was primarily due to legal matters related to previously sold operations.
(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:

VIAD CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES 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.
