Viad Corp Reports 2018 Third Quarter Results

October 25, 2018 4:10 PM

Consolidated Revenue Grew 5.6%

GES Continued to Deliver Base Same-Show Growth

Pursuit Delivered Organic Revenue Growth of 7.3% Despite Impact of Fires

PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Viad Corp (NYSE: VVI) today announced third quarter 2018 results that were stronger year-over-year but slightly below prior guidance. Consolidated revenue grew 5.6% and income before other items increased 28.5%. Net income attributable to Viad declined primarily due to impairment recoveries of $17.8 million, after-tax, received during the 2017 third quarter related to the Mount Royal Hotel fire.

Steve Moster, president and chief executive officer, commented, “Our income before other items of $1.72 per share was up significantly from the 2017 third quarter driven largely by positive show rotation and same-show growth at GES, as well as continued strength at Pursuit. While both GES and Pursuit posted year-over-year increases, Pursuit’s growth was hampered by forest fires that negatively affected visitation. Additionally, at GES, sales of shorter lead time projects came in below our targets for the quarter. Overall, we remain encouraged by the underlying fundamentals of our businesses and our continued progress against key strategic goals to enhance shareholder value.”

GES Results

Moster said, “GES delivered solid same-show revenue growth of 5.3% and strong performance from non-annual events during the third quarter. We also continued to have success leveraging our full suite of services, including audio-visual production, to win new business in the corporate event space. However, as a result of lower than expected short-term bookings, overall revenue growth was below our expectations. Looking ahead, we remain committed to our strategic goals aimed at expanding in higher-margin areas of the live events market and we are optimistic about our future growth prospects.”

(1) Base same-shows are defined as shows produced by GES out of the same city during the same quarter in both the current year and prior year. Base same-shows represented 29.1% of GES’ U.S. organic revenue during the 2018 third quarter.
(2) Show rotation refers to shows that take place once every two, three or four years, as well as annual shows that change quarters from one year to the next.

Pursuit Results

Moster said, “Pursuit delivered third quarter organic revenue growth of 7.3% despite forest fires that affected tourism in Banff, Jasper and Glacier National Parks. Poor air quality and visibility due to smoke resulted in lower year-on-year passenger volumes at our attractions and reduced occupancy at certain hospitality properties near Glacier National Park. However, our team did a great job with revenue management efforts to capture higher same-store revenue per passenger and RevPAR. Looking ahead, we are very excited about the many organic growth projects that are in progress and expected to open in 2019. We remain committed to driving unforgettable and inspiring guest experiences across all of our iconic destinations.”

Cash Flow / Capital Structure

Business Outlook

Our guidance is subject to change as a variety of factors, identified in the safe harbor language at the end of this press release, can affect actual results.

We have provided the following forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Segment Operating Income and Income Before Other Items. We do not provide quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because, due to variability and difficulty in developing accurate projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible, not all of the information necessary to do so is available to us without unreasonable effort. Consequently, any attempt to disclose such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. It is probable that our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.

2018 Full Year Guidance

Moster said, “We continue to drive solid performance in key areas like same show growth and corporate event wins at GES, and same-store growth at Pursuit. However, revenue challenges in certain areas have caused us to reduce our full year expectations for 2018. For Pursuit, our revised outlook reflects the fire impact on our third quarter results, partially offset by cost-reduction actions during the fourth quarter. For GES, our revised outlook reflects a lower level of short-term booking revenue, which is based on our third quarter experience and our current sales pipelines for the fourth quarter, as well as a reduction in performance-based incentives. I remain encouraged by the progress we are making against our strategic growth goals for both GES and Pursuit and the positive results we are seeing in key areas. We also have an active acquisition pipeline, in addition to many organic projects in progress that will bolster Pursuit’s growth during 2019 and beyond.”

TABLE ONE - NOTES TO QUARTERLY RESULTS
(UNAUDITED)
(A)

Corporate Activities — The decrease in corporate activities expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 relative to 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in performance-based compensation expense.

(B) Impairment Recoveries — The impairment recoveries recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 were related to insurance proceeds received as a partial settlement for fire damage to our Mount Royal Hotel.
(C) Other Expense — On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, which requires retrospective adoption. As a result, we recorded the nonservice cost component of net periodic benefit cost within other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, and we reclassified $0.2 million and $0.9 million from operating expenses to other expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, respectively, to conform to current period presentation.
(D) Income Taxes — Income taxes went from an effective rate of 29% for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 to an effective rate of 23% for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in the effective rate for 2018 was primarily due to a $3.1 million benefit related to reductions in our estimated repatriation tax and the re-measurement of our deferred tax assets, as well as the lower federal tax rate due to Tax Reform, partially offset by increased non-deductible expenses, a higher effective state tax rate and our mix of domestic versus foreign income, which is taxed at higher rates.
(E) Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations — The income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 was primarily related to a favorable legal settlement related to previously sold operations. The loss from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily related to legal expenses associated with previously sold operations, offset in part by a reduction in an uncertain tax position due to the lapse of statute.
(F) Income per Common Share — Following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Viad to net income allocated to Viad common shareholders:

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", "Adjusted Segment EBITDA" 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 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 and Adjusted Segment EBITDA provide 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 Segment 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.

Organic - The term "organic" is used within this document to refer to results without the impact of exchange rate variances and acquisitions, if any, until such acquisitions are included in the entirety of both comparable periods. The impact of exchange rate variances (or "FX Impact") is calculated as the difference between current period activity translated at the current period's exchange rates and the comparable prior period's exchange rates. Management believes that the presentation of "organic" results permits investors to better understand Viad's performance without the effects of exchange rate variances or acquisitions.
