  • Revenue for the second quarter of 2015 increased 23.7% ($60.6 million) year-over-year, or 19.9% ($51.1 million) on an organic basis (which excludes the impact of acquisitions and exchange rate variances).  
    • Marketing & Events Group (M&E) organic revenue increased 21.3% ($48.2 million), which included positive show rotation revenue of about $16 million, U.S. base same-show revenue growth of 7.4%, new business wins and increased sales to corporate exhibitor clients.
    • Travel & Recreation Group (T&R) organic revenue increased 9.8% ($2.9 million).
  • Acquisitions contributed $22.7 million in revenue and $7.5 million in adjusted segment operating income (which excludes integration costs) and $9.9 million in adjusted segment EBITDA.
  • The increases in segment operating income, income from continuing operations and income before other items primarily reflect higher revenue with strong throughput.

Steve Moster, president and chief executive officer, said, "We had a very strong second quarter, with both business groups delivering better than expected operating income on substantial revenue growth.  We are executing well and benefitting from favorable industry conditions."

M&E (or GES) Results

Moster said, "GES delivered much stronger results in the second quarter than we had previously expected.  The upside came from a number of areas, including same-show revenue growth, a near historic level of revenue from short-term bookings and a significant increase in sales to our corporate clients.  The team did a great job driving this additional revenue to the bottom line. Additionally, our recent acquisitions of Blitz, onPeak and N200 continued to deliver as expected. With two successful quarters under our belts and favorable industry conditions, we are on track to meet, if not exceed, our full year targets at GES."

(3)

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.

  • Total M&E revenue increased 26.5% ($60.0 million) year-over-year.  On an organic basis (which excludes the impact of acquisitions and unfavorable exchange rate variances), the increase was 21.3% ($48.2 million).
    • U.S. organic revenue increased 16.6% ($28.1 million) driven primarily by new business wins, base same-show revenue growth of 7.4% and increased sales to corporate clients.
    • International organic revenue increased 35.3% ($22.4 million) driven primarily by positive show rotation revenue of approximately $15 million, new business wins and same-show growth.
  • Total M&E segment operating income increased $21.1 million, or $15.2 million on an organic basis.
    • U.S. organic segment operating income increased $8.2 million, primarily reflecting higher revenue with strong throughput.
    • International organic segment operating income increased $7.0 million, primarily reflecting higher revenue with strong throughput, as well as a $1.3 million gain related to exiting a venue services agreement in the U.K.
  • The acquisitions of Blitz Communications (September 2014), onPeak (October 2014) and N200 (November 2014) contributed revenue of $21.6 million, adjusted segment operating income of $7.4 million (34.2% margin) and adjusted segment EBITDA of $9.7 million (44.8% margin) during the 2015 second quarter.

T&R Results

Moster said, "The T&R Group realized strong revenue growth and better than expected profits for the second quarter.  Organic revenue from our attractions was up 23 percent reflecting both an increase in visitors and our efforts to drive higher effective ticket prices.  And we saw strong growth from our hospitality assets, including a 5.3 percent increase in same-store RevPAR. The team also did a solid job with cost management to minimize expenses during the early and seasonally slower part of the quarter, which helped lift the operating margin higher.  As expected, our peak season is off to a very strong start."

  • T&R revenue increased 2.2% ($0.7 million) year-over-year.  On an organic basis (which excludes the impact of acquisitions and unfavorable exchange rate variances), revenue increased 9.8% ($2.9 million) driven primarily by stronger revenue from attractions and hospitality assets.
  • T&R segment operating income increased $1.1 million, or $2.1 million on an organic basis driven primarily by growth in high-margin attractions and hospitality revenue as well as strong cost management.
  • The acquisition of the West Glacier Properties (July 2014) contributed revenue of $1.1 million, adjusted segment operating income of $0.1 million and adjusted segment EBITDA of $0.2 million during the 2015 second quarter, which is a seasonally slower quarter.

Cash Flow / Capital Structure

  • Cash generated from operations was $19.7 million in the 2015 second quarter.
  • Capital expenditures for the quarter totaled $7.9 million, comprising $4.9 million for M&E, $2.8 million for T&R and $0.2 million for Viad's corporate office.
  • Return of capital during the quarter totaled $2.0 million (which represented dividends of $0.10 per share).  Viad had 440,540 shares remaining under its current repurchase authorization at June 30, 2015.
  • Debt payments (net) totaled $4.8 million during the second quarter.
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $64.9 million, debt was $133.3 million and the debt-to-capital ratio was 27.5% at June 30, 2015.

Business Outlook

Guidance provided by Viad is subject to change as a variety of factors can affect actual results. Those factors are identified in the safe harbor language at the end of this press release. 

2015 Full Year Guidance

  • Consolidated revenue is expected to be comparable to 2014 full year revenue, despite negative show rotation of approximately $70 million and unfavorable currency translation of approximately $40 million.
  • Consolidated adjusted segment EBITDA(1) is expected to be in the range of $89 million to $93 million, as compared to $91.3 million in 2014.
  • The outlook for Viad's business units is as follows:

    • M&E U.S. base same-show revenue is expected to increase at a mid-single digit rate.
    • The M&E acquisitions of onPeak, Blitz Communications and N200 are expected to provide $61 million to $66 million in revenue (up $44 million to $49 million from 2014) and adjusted segment EBITDA of $16.5 million to $17.5 million (up $13 million to $14 million from 2014).  Integration costs, which are not included in adjusted segment EBITDA, are expected to approximate $1.5 million.
  • Exchange rates are assumed to approximate $0.78 U.S. Dollars per Canadian Dollar and $1.52 U.S. Dollars per British Pound during the remainder of 2015.  Exchange rate variances are expected to impact 2015 results as follows:

  • Interest expense is expected to increase versus 2014 by approximately $0.09 per share due to increased debt resulting from acquisitions completed during the second half of 2014.
  • The effective tax rate on income before other items is assumed to approximate 31% to 32%.

FX Impact represents the expected effect of year-over-year changes in exchange rates that is incorporated in the low end and high end guidance ranges presented.

  • The decrease in M&E is expected to be driven by negative show rotation and unfavorable exchange rate variances.  The 2014 acquisitions are expected to contribute approximately $9 million to $11 million in revenue and $3 million to $3.5 million in adjusted segment operating loss, reflecting a seasonally slow quarter.  During the 2014 quarter, Blitz (acquired September 16, 2014) contributed revenue of $1.9 million and adjusted segment operating income of $0.5 million.
  • Excluding unfavorable exchange rate variances, T&R revenue and operating income are expected to be stronger than the prior year quarter, reflecting continued organic growth.

VIAD CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

TABLE ONE - NOTES TO QUARTERLY RESULTS

(UNAUDITED)



















(A)


Corporate Activities -- The increase in corporate activities expense for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was primarily related to consulting and other transaction-related costs associated with acquisitions and costs related to a shareholder nomination and settlement agreement.



















(B)


Restructuring Charges -- Restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 primarily related to the elimination of certain positions and facility consolidations in the Marketing & Events Group, as well as the elimination of certain positions at the Corporate office and the Travel & Recreation Group. Restructuring charges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily related to severance arrangements within the Marketing & Events International segment.



















(C)


Impairment Charges -- During the three months ended June 30, 2014, Viad recorded impairment charges of $884,000 ($549,000 after-tax) related to the write-off of certain assets in the Marketing & Events International segment.



















(D)


Income Taxes -- The six months ended June 30, 2015 included a $1.6 million non-cash tax benefit related to deferred taxes associated with certain foreign intangibles.  This resulted in a $0.08 per share non-recurring tax benefit. 



The relatively low effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was primarily due to the projected release of a portion of the valuation allowance related to foreign tax credit carryforwards and state NOL carryforwards and certain adjustments to deferred taxes.



















(E)


Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations -- On December 31, 2013, Glacier Park's concession contract with the Park Service to operate lodging, tour and transportation and other hospitality services for Glacier National Park expired. Upon completion of the contract term, Viad received cash payments in January 2014 totaling $25.0 million for the Company's possessory interest. This resulted in a pre-tax gain of $21.5 million and an after-tax gain of $14.3 million which was recorded as income from discontinued operations. The loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 related to the allocation of taxes to the possessory interest gain and additional reserves related to certain liabilities associated with previously sold operations.

(A)

Income before other items, Adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow 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 used by management to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of Viad's operating performance and liquidity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of Viad's business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other similar measures reported in accordance with GAAP.





















Forward−Looking Non−GAAP Financial Measures
The Company has also provided the following forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures: Adjusted Segment EBITDA (formerly referred to as "Segment EBITDA") Adjusted Segment EBITDA Margin, Adjusted Segment Operating Income, Adjusted Segment Operating Margin and Income Before Other Items.  The Company does not provide reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible, not all of the information necessary for quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are available to the Company without unreasonable efforts.  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 the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures provided without the directly comparable GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding non-GAAP financial measures.



















(B)

Acquisition-related costs and other non-recurring expenses include: acquisition integration costs (included in segment operating income); acquisition transaction-related costs (included in corporate activities expense), costs related to a shareholder nomination and settlement agreement (included in corporate activities expense) and CEO transition costs (included in Q4 2014 corporate activities expense).



VIAD CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES

TABLE TWO - NON-GAAP MEASURES

(UNAUDITED)

















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.

















Adjusted segment operating income (loss) and Adjusted Segment EBITDA - Adjusted segment operating income (loss) is calculated as segment operating income (loss) excluding acquisition integration costs, if any.  Adjusted segment EBITDA is calculated as adjusted segment operating income (loss) plus depreciation and amortization.  Adjusted Segment Operating Income and Adjusted Segment EBITDA 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. Management believes  these measures are 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 enables investors to assess how effectively management is investing capital into major corporate development projects, both from a valuation and return perspective.
