Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

NOTE 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 20, 2024, Pursuit (formerly known as Viad Corp) entered into a Purchase Agreement with Truelink Capital, pursuant to which Truelink Capital agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests held by the Company in its subsidiaries comprising the GES Business. On December 31, 2024, we completed the sale of the GES Business to Truelink Capital and relaunched as Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc., a standalone attractions and hospitality company with a singular focus on delivering unforgettable experiences in iconic destinations.

We determined that the sale of the GES Business met the criteria under ASC 205-20 to be classified as a discontinued operation as the sale represented a strategic shift that had a significant effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been adjusted for all prior periods to reflect the GES Business as discontinued operations.

The following table summarizes the results of the GES Business presented within discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

On December 31, 2024, in connection with the sale of the GES Business, we terminated and repaid in full all outstanding obligations (approximately $393 million) due under our previous $500 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (the “2021 Credit Facility”) and all related liens and security interests were terminated, discharged and released. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, we elected to allocate interest expense to discontinued operations for the 2021 Credit Facility and the related debt issuance costs that were not directly attributable to the GES Business. All of the interest expense and related debt issuance costs of the $400 million term loan were allocated to discontinued operations, and interest expense and debt issuance costs related to the $170 million revolving credit facility were allocated based on a ratio of net assets of the GES Business to the sum of our consolidated net assets and consolidated debt. We allocated interest expense to discontinued operations of $9.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

We incurred transaction costs of $0.9 million in connection with the sale of the GES Business during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which are included in discontinued operations. These costs primarily include third-party advisory, consulting, legal, and professional fees.
