Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP or SEC rules and regulations for complete financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2019 (“2018 Form 10-K”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viad and its subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany account balances and transactions in consolidation.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements:

 

Standard

 

Description

 

Date of adoption

 

Effect on the financial statements

Standards Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2018-15, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract

 

The amendment aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The amendment also requires an entity to expense the capitalized implementation costs of a hosting arrangement that is a service contract over the term of the hosting arrangement. Early adoption is permitted and may be applied on either a retrospective or prospective basis.

 

January 1, 2020

 

We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326) - Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments

 

The amendment eliminates the incurred credit loss impairment methodology in current GAAP and replaces it with an expected credit loss concept based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts.

 

Subsequent to the issuance of ASU 2016-13, the FASB issued additional amendments which do not change the core principle of the guidance stated in ASU 2016-13. Rather, they are intended to clarify and improve understanding of certain topics included within the credit losses standard.

 

January 1, 2020

 

We are currently evaluating the potential impact of the adoption of this new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. We will be required to use a forward-looking expected credit loss model for trade receivables. Adoption of this new standard will be applied using the modified retrospective approach through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the effective date in an amount necessary to adjust our current credit loss methodology to equal the current estimate of expected losses on financial assets held at that date.

 

Standard

 

Description

 

Date of adoption

 

Effect on the financial statements

Standards Recently Adopted

ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842)

 

The amendment increases transparency and comparability by requiring the recognition of a right-of-use asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet. The standard also requires more detailed disclosures to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases.

 

January 1, 2019

 

We adopted ASU 2016-02 and its related amendments (collectively, “Topic 842”) on January 1, 2019 using the optional transition method. Under this method, a cumulative adjustment to retained earnings is recorded, if any, and prior periods are not restated. We determined there was no cumulative effect adjustment to retained earnings on January 1, 2019.

 

The adoption of Topic 842 did not have a material impact on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. The most significant impact related to facility and equipment leases, which were previously recorded as operating leases. Upon adoption as of January 1, 2019, we recognized an additional right-of-use asset and lease liability of $59 million on the balance sheet. The existing deferred rent liabilities balance, resulting from historical straight-lining of operating leases, was reclassified upon adoption to reduce the measurement of leased assets. Refer to our Leases Significant Accounting Policy immediately following this table and Note 19 - Leases and Other for additional information.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things, the fair value of our reporting units used to perform annual impairment testing of recorded goodwill; allowances for uncollectible accounts receivable; provisions for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets; liabilities for losses related to self-insured liability claims; liabilities for losses related to environmental remediation obligations; sublease income associated with restructuring liabilities; assumptions used to measure pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations; assumptions used to determine share-based compensation costs under the fair value method; assumptions used to determine the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests; and the allocation of purchase price of acquired businesses. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on a specified amount of consideration in a contract with a customer, net of commissions paid to customers and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a product or service to a customer.

GES’ service revenue is primarily derived through its comprehensive range of services to event organizers and corporate brand marketers including Core Services, Event Technology, and Audio-Visual. GES’ service revenue is earned over time over the duration of the exhibition, conference, or corporate event, which generally lasts one to three days; however, we recognize service revenue at the close of the event when we have the right to invoice. GES’ product revenue is derived from the build of exhibits and environments and graphics. GES’ product revenue is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the product.

Pursuit’s service revenue is derived through its admissions, accommodations, transportation, and travel planning services. Pursuit’s product revenue is derived through food and beverage and retail sales. Pursuit’s revenue is recognized at the time services are performed or upon delivery of the product. Pursuit’s service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits. Pursuit’s product revenue is recognized at a point in time.

Noncontrolling Interests – Non-redeemable and Redeemable

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. Our non-redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the 20% equity ownership interest that we do not own in Glacier Park, Inc. and the 40% equity interest that we do not own in the recently acquired Mountain Park Lodges. We report non-redeemable noncontrolling interest within stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to Viad and the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  

Noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control are considered redeemable noncontrolling interests. Our redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to our 54.5% equity ownership interest in Esja Attractions ehf. (“Esja”). The Esja shareholders agreement contains a put option that gives the minority Esja shareholders the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a calculated formula within a predefined term. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered temporary equity and we report it between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of the net income or loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the accretion of the redemption value is recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings and is included in our income (loss) per share. Refer to Note 21 – Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest for additional information.

Leases

We adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, which requires the recognition of a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the balance sheet, and requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases. The classification of the lease determines whether the lease expense is recognized on an effective interest method basis (finance lease) or on a straight-line basis (operating lease) over the lease term. In determining whether an agreement contains a lease, we consider if we have a right to control the use of the underlying asset during the lease term in exchange for an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize

10


 

ROU assets and lease liabilities at commencement date, which is when the underlying asset is available for use to a lessee, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Our operating and finance leases are primarily facility, equipment, and land leases. Our facility leases comprise mainly manufacturing facilities, sales and design facilities, offices, storage and/or warehouses, and truck marshaling yards. These facility leases generally have lease terms ranging up to 25 years. Our equipment leases comprise mainly vehicles, hardware, and office equipment, each with various lease terms. Our land leases comprise mainly leases in Canada and Iceland on which our hotels or attractions reside and have lease terms ranging up to 42 years.

We made the accounting policy election not to recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term of twelve months or less. We elected to apply the package of practical expedients permitted under Topic 842 transition guidance, which among other things, allows us to carry forward our historical lease classifications. We also elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all asset classes, and payments associated with fixed non-lease components are included in measuring the ROU asset and lease liability.

If a lease contains a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, then the lease term includes the optional periods in measuring a ROU asset and lease liability. Variable leases and variable non-lease components are not included in the calculation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. For facility leases, variable lease costs include the costs of common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance for which we pay our lessors an estimate that is adjusted to actual expense on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the underlying contract terms. These variable lease payments are expensed as incurred. Upon the adoption of Topic 842, our accounting for finance leases, previously referred to as capital leases, remains substantially unchanged from prior guidance. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

Substantially all of our lease agreements do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, and as such, we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on lease term and country, in order to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. The discount rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a secured basis, and is the expected rate at which we would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term and the country. On January 1, 2019, the discount rate used on existing leases at adoption was extrapolated based on the remaining lease term and the country using available data as of that date.  For new or renewed leases starting in 2019, the discount rate is determined using available data at lease commencement and based on the lease term and country including any reasonably certain renewal periods.

We are also a lessor to third party tenants who either lease certain portions of facilities that we own or sublease certain portions of facilities that we lease. Lease income from owned facilities is recorded as rental income and sublease income from leased facilities is recorded against lease expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. All of our leases for which we are the lessor are classified as operating leases under Topic 842.

Note 2. Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities

GES’ performance obligations consist of services or product(s) outlined in a contract. While multi-year contracts are often signed for recurring events, the obligations for each occurrence are well defined and conclude upon the occurrence of each event. The obligations are typically the provision of services and/or sale of a product in connection with an exhibition, conference, or other event. Revenue for services is recognized when we have a right to invoice at the close of the exhibition, conference, or corporate event, which typically lasts one to three days. Revenue for consumer events is recognized over the duration of the event. Revenue for products is recognized either upon delivery to the customer’s location, upon delivery to an event that we are serving, or when we have the right to invoice, generally at the close of the exhibition, conference, or corporate event. Payment terms are generally within 30-60 days and contain no significant financing components.

Pursuit’s performance obligations are short-term in nature. They include the provision of a hotel room, an attraction admission, a chartered or ticketed bus or van ride, the fulfillment of travel planning itineraries, and/or the sale of food, beverage, or retail products. Revenue is recognized when the service has been provided or the product has been delivered. When credit is extended, payment terms are generally within 30 days and contain no significant financing components.

Contract Liabilities

GES and Pursuit typically receive customer deposits prior to transferring the related product or service to the customer. These deposits are recorded as a contract liability and recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of the related contract performance obligation(s). GES also provides customer rebates and volume discounts to certain event organizers that are recorded as contract liabilities and are recognized as a reduction of revenue. These amounts are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the captions “Contract liabilities” and “Other deferred items and liabilities.”

Contract Costs

GES capitalizes certain incremental costs incurred in obtaining and fulfilling contracts. Capitalized costs principally relate to direct costs of materials and services incurred in fulfilling services of future exhibitions, conferences, and events, and also include up-front incentives and commissions incurred upon contract signing. Costs associated with preliminary contract activities (i.e. proposal activities) are expensed as incurred. Capitalized contract costs are expensed upon the transfer of the related goods or services and are included in cost of services or cost of products, as applicable. The deferred incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling contracts are included in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets under the captions “Current contract costs” and “Other investments and assets.”

Viad Corp Omnibus Incentive Plan

We grant share-based compensation awards to our officers, directors, and certain key employees pursuant to the 2017 Viad Corp Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan has a 10-year life and provides for the following types of awards: (a) incentive and non-qualified stock options; (b) restricted stock and restricted stock units; (c) performance units or performance shares; (d) stock appreciation rights; (e) cash-based awards; and (f) certain other stock-based awards. In June 2017, we registered 1,750,000 shares of common stock issuable under the 2017 Plan. As of June 30, 2019, there were 1,581,743 shares available for future grant under the 2017 Plan.

PUP Awards

The vesting of PUP award shares is based upon achievement of certain performance-based criteria over a three-year period.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we granted PUP awards with a grant date fair value of $4.3 million of which $1.7 million are payable in shares. Liabilities related to PUP awards were $4.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and $7.0 million as of December 31, 2018. In 2019, PUP awards granted in 2016 vested and we paid $5.6 million in cash and $3.4 million in shares. In 2019, we withheld 25,771 shares for $1.5 million related to tax withholding requirements on vested PUP awards paid in shares. In 2018, PUP awards granted in 2015 vested and we distributed cash payouts of $5.9 million.

Restricted Stock

As of June 30, 2019, the unamortized cost of outstanding restricted stock awards was $4.1 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 1.5 years. We repurchased 24,217 shares for $1.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 19,237 shares for $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018 related to tax withholding requirements on vested share-based awards.

Restricted Stock Units

Aggregate liabilities related to restricted stock units were $0.3 million as of June 30, 2019 and $0.4 million as of December 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, restricted stock units vested and we paid $0.3 million in cash and $0.2 million in shares. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the 2015 restricted stock units vested and we distributed $0.2 million in cash payouts.

Note 4. Acquisition of Businesses

2019 Acquisitions

Belton Chalet

On May 16, 2019, we acquired the Belton Chalet in Glacier National Park for total cash consideration of $3.2 million. Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were $0.3 million, which are included in “Cost of services” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These assets have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

Mountain Park Lodges

On June 8, 2019, we acquired a 60% equity interest in Mountain Park Lodges’ group of seven hotels and an undeveloped land parcel located in Jasper National Park for total consideration of $100.6 million Canadian dollars (approximately $76 million U.S. dollars).

The seven Mountain Park Lodges properties include: Sawridge Inn and Conference Centre (152 guest rooms); Pyramid Lake Resort (62 guest rooms); The Crimson Hotel (99 guest rooms); Chateau Jasper (119 guest rooms); Pocahontas Cabins (57 guest rooms); Marmot Lodge (107 guest rooms); and Lobstick Lodge (139 guest rooms).

As the majority owner of these properties we consolidate 100% of the results of operations in our consolidated financial statements and record the 40% owners’ share of the income or loss attributable to non-redeemable noncontrolling interest.

The following table summarizes the preliminary recording of the fair value allocation of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the date of acquisition. Due to the recent timing of the acquisition, the purchase price allocation is not yet final and is subject to change within the measurement period (up to one year from the acquisition date) as the valuation of property and equipment, intangible assets, and working capital is finalized.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as “Goodwill.” Goodwill is included in the Pursuit business group. The primary factor that contributed to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill related to future growth opportunities when combined with our other businesses. Goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The estimated values of current assets and liabilities were based upon their historical costs on the acquisition date due to their short-term nature.

Transaction costs associated with the Mountain Park Lodges were $0.7 million in 2019 and $0.1 million in 2018, which are included in “Corporate activities” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These assets and results of operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, revenue related to the Mountain Park Lodges was $2.8 million and operating income was $1.5 million.

Identifiable intangible assets acquired in the Mountain Park Lodges acquisition were $9.2 million and consist primarily of customer relationships and trade name. The weighted average amortization period related to the intangible assets is approximately 10 years.

The estimated fair value of total debt was $316.6 million as of June 30, 2019 and $228.6 million as of December 31, 2018. The fair value of debt was estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available for debt of similar terms and maturity, which is a Level 2 measurement. Refer to Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements.

Cash paid for interest on debt was $5.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $4.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

(4)

Borrowings under the credit facilities are classified as current because all borrowed amounts are due within one year

2018 Credit Agreement

Effective October 24, 2018, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2018 Credit Agreement”). The 2018 Credit Agreement has a maturity date of October 24, 2023 and provides for a $450 million revolving credit facility (“2018 Credit Facility”). Proceeds from the 2018 Credit Facility were used to refinance certain of our outstanding debt and provide us with additional funds for our operations, growth initiatives, acquisitions, and other general corporate purposes in the ordinary course of business. The 2018 Credit Facility may be increased up to an additional $250 million under certain circumstances. It has a $20 million sublimit for letters of credit. Borrowings and letters of credit can be denominated in U.S. dollars, Euros, Canadian dollars, or British pounds. Our lenders under the 2018 Credit Facility have a first perfected security interest in all of our personal property including GES, GES Event Intelligence Services, Inc., CATC Alaska Tourism Corporation (“CATC”), ON Event Services, LLC (“ON Services”), and 65% of the capital stock of our top-tier foreign subsidiaries (other than Esja). Financial covenants include an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.00 to 1.00 and a leverage ratio of not greater than 3.50 to 1.00, with a step-up of 4.00 to 1.00 for four quarters for a material acquisition of $50 million or more. Dividends are permitted up to $15 million in any calendar year. In addition, we can declare and pay dividends or repurchase our common stock up to $20 million per calendar year. Dividends and repurchases above those thresholds are permitted as long as our pro forma leverage ratio is less than or equal to 2.75 to 1.00. Unsecured debt is allowed provided we are in compliance with the leverage ratio. In addition, the unsecured debt must mature after the expiration of the 2018 Credit Facility, cannot have scheduled principal payments while the 2018 Credit Facility is in place, and any covenants for unsecured debt cannot be more restrictive than the 2018 Credit Facility. Significant other covenants include limitations on investments, additional indebtedness, sales and dispositions of assets, and liens on property. As of June 30, 2019, the interest coverage ratio was 10.84 to 1.00, the leverage ratio was 2.24 to 1.00, and we were in compliance with all covenants under the 2018 Credit Agreement.

Effective July 23, 2019, we entered into an amendment (“Amendment No.1”) to the 2018 Credit Agreement. Amendment No.1 modified the terms related to the withdrawal limits of single and multi-employer ERISA plans. Refer to Note 24 – Subsequent Events.

Borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facility (of which GES, GES Event Intelligence Services, Inc., CATC, and ON Services are guarantors) are indexed to the prime rate or the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), plus appropriate spreads tied to our leverage ratio. We understand that LIBOR will be phased out in 2021 and our 2018 Credit Facility includes a method for determining an alternative or successor rate of interest that gives consideration to the new prevailing market convention. The vast majority of our borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facility are indexed to LIBOR. Commitment fees and letters of credit fees are also tied to our leverage ratio. The fees on the unused portion of the 2018 Credit Facility were 0.3% annually as of June 30, 2019. Only our

24


 

borrowings under the 2018 Credit Facility and the discount rates we use to account for some leases are indexed to LIBOR. We do not expect the alternative or successor rate to LIBOR to have a material impact on either our 2018 Credit Facility or the accounting for our leases.

As of June 30, 2019, capacity remaining under the 2018 Credit Facility was $135.2 million, reflecting borrowings of $311.2 million and $3.6 million in outstanding letters of credit.

FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility

Effective February 15, 2019, FlyOver Iceland ehf., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Esja, entered into a credit agreement with a €5.0 million (approximately $5.6 million) credit facility (the “FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility”) with a maturity date of March 1, 2022. The loan proceeds will be used to complete the development of the FlyOver Iceland attraction.

As of June 30, 2019, capacity remaining under the FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility was approximately $1.0 million.

Note 13. Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset or liability is defined as the price that would be received by selling an asset or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted prices and other observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value.

Money market mutual funds and certain other mutual fund investments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 1 inputs. The fair value information related to these assets is summarized in the following tables:

Note 16. Income Taxes

The effective tax rate was 32.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 27.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The effective tax rate was 18.7% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 25.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

The income tax provision was based on our estimated annualized effective tax rate and the full-year forecasted income plus the tax impact of any unusual, infrequent, or nonrecurring items during the period. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was less than the federal statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the impact of non-deductible compensation expenses, global intangible low-taxed income (“GILTI”) tax and foreign income taxed at higher rates. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was greater than the federal statutory rate primarily due to foreign income tax at higher rates.

Cash paid for income taxes was $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $16.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Note 18. Restructuring Charges

GES

As part of our efforts to drive efficiencies and simplify our business operations, we have taken certain restructuring actions designed to reduce our cost structure primarily within GES. These actions include consolidating facilities and operations in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom. During the second quarter of 2019, we completed some strategic simplification actions, including a facility consolidation in Las Vegas and other restructuring actions. As a result, we recorded restructuring charges primarily consisting of severance and related benefits as a result of workforce reductions and charges related to the consolidation and downsizing of facilities representing the remaining operating lease obligations (net of estimated sublease income) and related costs.

Other Restructurings

We recorded restructuring charges in connection with the consolidation of certain support functions at our corporate headquarters. These charges primarily consist of severance and related benefits due to headcount reductions.

Changes to the restructuring liability by major restructuring activity are as follows:

Leases Not Yet Commenced

As of June 30, 2019, we had certain facility and land leases that were executed but for which we did not have control of the underlying assets. Accordingly, we did not record the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. These leases include future planned attractions for Pursuit that are currently in the planning or development phase and that we expect to commence between fiscal years 2019 and 2022 with lease terms of 15 to 20 years.

Note 20. Litigation, Claims, Contingencies, and Other

We are plaintiffs or defendants to various actions, proceedings, and pending claims, some of which involve, or may involve, compensatory, punitive, or other damages. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the legal actions, proceedings, or claims could be decided against us. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded an $8.5 million charge to resolve a legal dispute at GES involving a former industry contractor. Although the amount of liability as of June 30, 2019 with respect to unresolved legal matters is not ascertainable, we believe that any resulting liability, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our business, financial position, or results of operations.

We are subject to various U.S. federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution and the protection of the environment in the jurisdictions in which we have or had operations. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws and regulations, civil and criminal penalties could be imposed and we could become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of injunctions and cease and desist orders. As is the case with many companies, we also face exposure to actual or potential claims and

30


 

lawsuits involving environmental matters relating to our past operations. As of June 30, 2019, we had recorded environmental remediation liabilities of $2.3 million related to previously sold operations. Although we are a party to certain environmental disputes, we believe that any resulting liabilities, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

As of June 30, 2019, on behalf of our subsidiaries, we had certain obligations under guarantees to third parties. These guarantees are not subject to liability recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements and relate to leased facilities entered into by our subsidiary operations. We would generally be required to make payments to the respective third parties under these guarantees in the event that the related subsidiary could not meet its own payment obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we would be required to make under all guarantees existing as of June 30, 2019 would be $54.5 million. These guarantees relate to our leased facilities through August 2034. There are no recourse provisions that would enable us to recover from third parties any payments made under the guarantees. Furthermore, there are no collateral or similar arrangements pursuant to which we could recover payments.

A significant number of our employees are unionized and we are a party to approximately 100 collective-bargaining agreements, with approximately one-third requiring renegotiation each year. If we are unable to reach an agreement with a union during the collective-bargaining process, the union may call for a strike or work stoppage, which may, under certain circumstances, adversely impact our business and results of operations. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory and that collective-bargaining agreements expiring in 2019 will be renegotiated in the ordinary course of business. Although our labor relations are currently stable, disruptions could occur, with the possibility of an adverse impact on the operating results of GES. During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we finalized the terms of a new collective-bargaining agreement with the Teamsters Local 727 union. The terms included a withdrawal from the under-funded Central States Pension Plan. Accordingly, we recorded a charge of $15.5 million, which represents the estimated present value of future contributions we will be required to make to the plan as a result of this withdrawal of this union from the plan.

We are self-insured up to certain limits for workers’ compensation, employee health benefits, automobile, product and general liability, and property loss claims. The aggregate amount of insurance liabilities (up to our retention limit) related to our continuing operations was $16.0 million as of June 30, 2019, which includes $11.1 million related to workers’ compensation liabilities, and $4.9 million related to general/auto liability claims. We have also retained and provided for certain workers’ compensation insurance liabilities in conjunction with previously sold businesses of $2.7 million as of June 30, 2019. The estimated employee health benefit claims incurred but not yet reported was $1.5 million as of June 30, 2019. Provisions for losses for claims incurred, including estimated claims incurred but not yet reported, are made based on our historical experience, claims frequency, and other factors. A change in the assumptions used could result in an adjustment to recorded liabilities. We have purchased insurance for amounts in excess of the self-insured levels, which generally range from $0.2 million to $0.5 million on a per claim basis. We do not maintain a self-insured retention pool fund as claims are paid from current cash resources at the time of settlement. Our net cash payments in connection with these insurance liabilities were $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and $3.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018 and $2.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

In addition, as of June 30, 2019, we have recorded insurance liabilities of $9.2 million related to continuing operations, which represents the amount for which we remain the primary obligor after self-insured insurance limits, without taking into consideration the above-referenced insurance coverage. Of this total, $8.5 million related to workers’ compensation liabilities and $0.7 million related to general/auto liability claims, which are recorded in other deferred items and liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding receivable in other investments.

Note 21. Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

On November 3, 2017, we acquired the controlling interest (54.5% of the common stock) in Esja, a private corporation in Reykjavik, Iceland. Through Esja and its wholly-owned subsidiary, we are developing and will operate a new FlyOver Iceland attraction.

The minority Esja shareholders have the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a multiple of 5.0x EBITDA as calculated on the trailing 12 months from the most recently completed quarter before the put option exercise. The put option is only exercisable after 36 months of business operation (the “Reference Date”) and if the FlyOver Iceland attraction has earned a minimum of €3.25 million in unadjusted EBITDA during the most recent fiscal year and during the trailing 12-month period prior to exercise (the “Put Option Condition”). The put option is exercisable during a period of 12 months following the Reference Date (the “Option Period”) and if the Put Option Condition has been met. If the Put Option Condition has not been met during the first Option Period, the Reference Date will be extended for an additional 12 months up to three times. If after 72 months, the FlyOver Iceland attraction has not achieved the Put Option Condition, the put option expires. If the Put Option Condition is met during any of the Option Periods, yet the shares are not exercised prior to the end of the 12-month Option Period, the put option will expire. 

The noncontrolling interest’s carrying value is determined by the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date and the noncontrolling interest’s share of the subsequent net income or loss. This value is benchmarked against the redemption value of

31


 

the sellers’ put option. The carrying value is adjusted to the redemption value, provided that it does not fall below the initial carrying value, as determined by the purchase price allocation. We have made a policy election to reflect any changes caused by such an adjustment to retained earnings, rather than to current earnings.

Note 22. Segment Information

We measure the profit and performance of our operations on the basis of segment operating income (loss) which excludes restructuring charges and recoveries. Intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation and intersegment transfers are not significant. Corporate activities include expenses not allocated to operations. Depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation expense are the only significant non-cash items for the reportable segments.

During the first quarter of 2019, we realigned GES’ organizational structure. As a result, we changed GES’ reportable segments to reflect how our chief operating decision maker regularly reviews and makes decisions regarding the allocation of resources. Accordingly, GES’ new reportable segments are GES North America and GES EMEA. We made no changes to the Pursuit reportable segment.

Our reportable segments, with reconciliations to consolidated totals, are as follows:

Note 23. Common Stock Repurchases

We previously announced our Board of Directors’ authorization to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. Effective February 7, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares.

No shares were repurchased on the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, 600,067 shares remain available for repurchase. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 175,091 shares on the open market for $9.1 million. Additionally, we repurchased shares related to tax withholding requirements on vested restricted stock awards. Refer to Note 3 – Share-Based Compensation.

Note 24. Subsequent Events

Credit Agreement Amendment

Effective July 23, 2019, we entered into an amendment (“Amendment No.1”) to the 2018 Credit Agreement. Amendment No.1 modified the terms related to the withdrawal limits of single and multi-employer ERISA plans.

FlyOver Toronto

On July 25, 2019, we announced plans for the expansion of our virtual flight ride theater concept into Toronto, Canada. We were awarded the right to construct the new attraction near the base of Canada’s CN Tower in the Entertainment District. This new attraction will provide guests an exhilarating virtual flight experience showcasing Canada’s most awe-inspiring sights. We expect construction to begin in 2020, and the new attraction to open in 2022.

Pursuit

On July 25, 2019, we announced plans for a new geothermal lagoon attraction that will be located on an oceanfront lot just outside downtown Reykjavik, Iceland. We acquired a 51% controlling interest in the new geothermal lagoon attraction for $13.2 million, which we will operate in partnership with Geothermal Lagoon ehf, the Icelandic entity that owns the lagoon assets. We expect to open our new attraction in 2021.

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2018

 

Total revenue increased $38.6 million or 10.6%, primarily due to positive show rotation of approximately $19 million, growth from corporate clients, and new business wins at GES, underlying growth at Pursuit, and incremental revenue from Pursuit’s Mountain Park Lodges and Belton Chalet acquisitions, and the re-opening of the Mount Royal Hotel, offset in part by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $4.9 million.

 

Net income attributable to Viad decreased $9.7 million, primarily due to charges related to our partial withdrawal from the Central States Pension Plan of $15.5 million ($11.6 million, after-tax) recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2019, offset in part by  higher segment operating results at both GES and Pursuit.

 

Total segment operating income(1) increased $7.8 million, primarily due to the increase in revenue.

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2018

 

Total revenue increased $46.8 million or 7.3%, primarily due to positive show rotation of approximately $17 million, new business wins at GES, underlying growth at Pursuit, incremental revenue from Pursuit’s Mountain Park Lodges and Belton Chalet acquisitions, and the re-opening of the Mount Royal Hotel, offset in part by an unfavorable foreign exchange impact of $9.4 million.

 

Net income (loss) attributable to Viad decreased $18.1 million, primarily due to charges related to our partial withdrawal from the Central States Pension Plan of $15.5 million ($11.6 million, after-tax) and a legal settlement charge of $8.5 million ($6.4 million, after tax).

 

Total segment operating income(1) increased $7.4 million, primarily due to the increase in revenue.

Revenue and segment operating income were primarily impacted by variances of the British pound, the Canadian dollar, and the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar. Future changes in exchange rates may impact overall expected profitability and historical period-to-period comparisons when revenue and segment operating income are translated into U.S. dollars.

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2018

GES North America

GES North America revenue increased $22.8 million or 8.7%, primarily due to growth in revenue from corporate clients and new business wins, as well as positive show rotation of approximately $7 million, offset in part by a decrease in U.S. base same-show revenue of 1.7% and an unfavorable FX Impact of $0.7 million. Base same-show revenue represented 26.2% of GES North America’s organic revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2019. Organic revenue* increased $23.5 million or 9.0%.

GES North America segment operating income increased $6.8 million or 28.7%, primarily due to the increase in revenue and cost reductions resulting from restructuring actions. Organic segment operating income* increased $7.0 million or 29.2%.

GES EMEA

GES EMEA revenue increased $8.8 million or 14.6%, primarily due to positive show rotation of approximately $12 million, offset in part by an unfavorable FX Impact of $3.2 million. Organic revenue* increased $12.1 million or 19.9%.

GES EMEA segment operating income decreased $0.6 million or 11.0%, primarily due to the timing of certain expenses and the revenue mix. Organic segment operating income* decreased $0.4 million or 7.1%.

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2018

GES North America

GES North America revenue increased $24.0 million or 5.0%, primarily due to growth in revenue from corporate clients, new business wins, and U.S. base same-show revenue growth of 1.4%, offset in part by an unfavorable FX Impact of $1.4 million. Base same-show revenue represented 33.0% of GES North America’s organic revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2019. Organic revenue* increased $25.4 million or 5.3%.

GES North America segment operating income increased $7.5 million or 31.7%, primarily due to the increase in revenue and cost reductions resulting from restructuring actions. Organic segment operating income* increased $7.7 million or 32.4%.

GES EMEA

GES EMEA revenue increased $14.3 million or 13.0%, primarily due to positive show rotation of approximately $16 million, new business wins, and underlying growth, offset in part by an unfavorable FX Impact of $6.6 million. Organic revenue* increased $20.9 million or 19.0%.

GES EMEA segment operating income decreased $0.1 million or 1.7%, primarily due to the timing of expenses, and the revenue mix, offset in part by the increase in revenue. Organic segment operating income* increased 0.8%.

* Refer to footnote (1) in the above table for more information about the non-GAAP financial measures of organic revenue and organic segment operating income.

2019 Outlook

Although GES has a diversified revenue base and long-term contracts for future shows, its revenue is affected by general economic and industry-specific conditions. The prospects for individual shows tend to be driven by the success of the industry related to those shows. In general, the exhibition and event industry is experiencing modest growth; however, we continue to experience declines in certain retail-sector events and auto shows.

For 2019, we expect GES’ revenue to be up low-single digits from 2018. Show rotation is expected to have a net negative impact on GES’ revenue of approximately $20 million compared to 2018. We expect GES U.S. base same-show revenue to increase at a low single digit rate. We anticipate an unfavorable FX Impact of approximately $10.0 million on GES’ 2019 full year revenue and approximately $0.5 million on GES’ segment operating income. The expected FX Impact assumes that the U.S. dollar to the British pound exchange rate will be $1.27 and the U.S. dollar to the Canadian dollar exchange rate will be $0.76 during the remainder of 2019. For more information about segment operating income, see the “Non-GAAP Measures” section of this MD&A.

We are executing a strategic growth plan to position GES as the preferred global, full-service provider for Live Events. We are making selective investments in additional resources to capitalize on continued growth opportunities in the under-penetrated category of corporate events and in cross-selling new services. We continue to pursue additional opportunities to acquire businesses with proven products and services to create the most comprehensive suite of services for the Live Events industry.

39


 

Additionally, we remain focused on improving GES’ profitability through continued efforts to effectively manage labor costs by driving productivity gains through rigorous and strategic pre-show planning and on-site labor management. Improving labor productivity is a top priority as we continue to develop and enhance tools to support and systematize show site labor planning, measurement, and benchmarking.

During the second quarter of 2019, we completed some strategic simplification actions, including a facility consolidation in Las Vegas and other restructuring actions that we expect will deliver annualized cost savings of about $8 million.

Three months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2018

Pursuit revenue increased $7.1 million or 14.6%, primarily due to incremental revenue from the Mountain Park Lodges and the Belton Chalet acquisitions of $3.0 million and stronger performance from our food and beverage and retail operations as a result of our refresh projects, our revenue management efforts, and the re-opening of the Mount Royal Hotel, offset in part by an unfavorable FX Impact of $0.9 million. Organic revenue* increased $5.0 million or 10.3%.

Pursuit segment operating income increased $1.6 million or 15.9% primarily due to the increase in revenue, offset in part by additional costs to support continued expansion of the business and an unfavorable FX impact of $0.1 million. Organic segment operating income* increased $0.2 million or 1.7%.

Six months ended June 30, 2019 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2018

Pursuit revenue increased $8.0 million or 13.8%, primarily due to incremental revenue from the Mountain Park Lodges and the Belton Chalet acquisitions of $3.0 million, continued focus on revenue management and refresh efforts to maximize revenue across Pursuit’s attractions and hospitality properties, and the re-opening of the Mount Royal Hotel, offset in part by an unfavorable FX Impact of $1.4 million. Organic revenue* increased $6.4 million or 11.0%.

Pursuit segment operating loss remained relatively flat compared to the prior year. Organic segment operating loss* increased $1.8 million.

* Refer to footnote (3) in the above tables for more information about the non-GAAP financial measures of organic revenue and organic segment operating income (loss).

Performance Measures

We use the following key business metrics to evaluate the performance of Pursuit’s attractions business:

 

Number of visitors. The number of visitors allows us to assess the volume of tickets sold at each attraction during the period.

 

Revenue per attraction visitor. Total attractions revenue per visitor is calculated as total attractions revenue divided by the total number of visitors at all Pursuit attractions during the period. Total attractions revenue includes ticket sales and ancillary revenue generated by attractions, such as food and beverage and retail revenue. Total attractions revenue per visitor measures the total spend per visitor that attraction properties are able to capture, which is important to the profitability of the attractions business.

 

Effective ticket price. Effective ticket price is calculated as revenue from the sale of attraction tickets divided by the total number of visitors at all comparable Pursuit attractions during the period.

We use the following key business metrics, common in the hospitality industry, to evaluate Pursuit’s hospitality business:

 

Revenue per Available Room. RevPAR is calculated as total rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights available for all comparable Pursuit hospitality properties during the period. Total rooms revenue does not include non-rooms revenue, which consists of ancillary revenue generated by hospitality properties, such as food and beverage and retail revenue. RevPAR measures the period-over-period change in rooms revenue per available room for comparable hospitality properties. RevPAR is affected by average daily rate and occupancy, which have different implications on profitability.

 

Average Daily Rate. ADR is calculated as total rooms revenue divided by the total number of room nights sold for all comparable Pursuit hospitality properties during the period. ADR is used to assess the pricing levels that the hospitality properties are able to realize. Increases in ADR lead to increases in rooms revenue with no substantial effect on variable costs, therefore having a greater impact on margins than increases in occupancy.

 

Occupancy. Occupancy is calculated as the total number of room nights sold divided by the total number of room nights available for all comparable Pursuit hospitality properties during the period. Occupancy measures the utilization of the available capacity at the hospitality properties. Increases in occupancy result in increases in rooms revenue and additional variable operating costs (including housekeeping services, utilities, and room amenity costs), as well as increases in ancillary non-rooms revenue (including food and beverage and retail revenue).

The following table provides Pursuit’s same-store key performance indicators for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The same-store metrics indicate the performance of all Pursuit’s properties and attractions that we owned and operated at full

41


 

capacity, considering seasonal closures, for the entirety of both periods presented. For Pursuit properties and attractions located in Canada, comparisons to the prior year are on a constant U.S. dollar basis, using the current year quarterly average exchange rates for previous periods, to eliminate the FX Impact. We believe this same-store constant currency basis provides better comparability between reporting periods.

Same-Store Key Performance Indicators exclude the Mountain Park Lodges (acquired in June 2019), the Belton Chalet (acquired in May 2019), and the Mount Royal Hotel, which was closed from December 2016 through June 2018 due to fire damage.

Attractions. The decrease in the same-store visitors during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was driven by slower visitation primarily due to early season inclement weather that affected visitors at the Columbia Icefield Glacier Adventure and the Maligne Lake Cruise attractions and lower visitation from select long-haul markets. Revenue per visitor increased primarily due to higher effective ticket prices driven by our focus on revenue management, refreshing key assets to enhance the guest experience, and increased programming. Ancillary revenue increased primarily resulting from our recent renovations of the food and beverage and retail operations.

Hospitality. The increase in RevPAR was primarily due to higher ADR driven by our revenue management efforts.

During 2018, Pursuit derived approximately 65% of its revenue and 87% of its segment operating income from its Canadian operations, which are largely dependent on foreign customer visitation. Accordingly, the strengthening or weakening of the Canadian dollar, relative to other currencies, could affect customer volumes and the results of operations.

2019 Outlook

For 2019, we expect Pursuit’s revenue to increase 20% to 23.5%. We expect Pursuit’s growth to be fueled primarily by investments to support our Refresh-Build-Buy strategy, which we expect to contribute incremental revenue of approximately $28 million to $32 million during 2019, inclusive of $17 million to $19 million from the Mountain Park Lodges and Belton Chalet acquisitions. Additionally, we expect to realize mid-single digit revenue growth across the rest of our attraction and hospitality assets. We expect to incur start-up costs of approximately $1.5 million during 2019 related to the development of our FlyOver attractions. We anticipate an unfavorable FX Impact of approximately $2.0 million on Pursuit’s 2019 revenue and a negligible impact to segment operating income.

Corporate Activities – The increase in corporate activities expense during the three months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to higher acquisition transaction-related costs in 2019. The increase in corporate activities during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily due to an increase in performance-based compensation expense and higher acquisition transaction-related costs in 2019, offset in part by a gain on sale of corporate fixed assets.

Interest Expense – The increase in interest expense was primarily due to higher debt balances and interest rates in 2019.

Multi-Employer Pension Plan Withdrawal – During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we finalized the terms of a new collective-bargaining agreement with the Teamsters 727 union. The terms included a withdrawal from the under-funded Central States Pension Plan. Accordingly, we recorded a charge of $15.5 million, which represents the estimated present value of future contributions we will be required to make to the plan as a result of this withdrawal of this union from the plan.

Restructuring Charges – Restructuring charges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were primarily related to the elimination of certain positions and facility consolidations at GES. Restructuring charges during three months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily related to the elimination of certain positions at GES. Restructuring charges during the six months ended June 30, 2018 were primarily related to the elimination of certain positions at GES and Pursuit.

Legal Settlement – During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a charge to resolve a legal dispute at GES involving a former industry contractor.

Income Tax Expense (Benefit) – Our effective income tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was 32.8%, as compared to 27.8% for the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in the effective rate was primarily related to increased non-deductible expenses and our mix of domestic versus foreign income, which is taxed at higher rates. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, our effective income tax rate was an 18.7% benefit on our pre-tax loss, as compared to a 25.8% tax expense rate on our pre-tax income during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The lower rate in 2019 was primarily due to increased non-deductible expenses and our mix of domestic versus foreign income, which is taxed at higher rates.

Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations – Income from discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was primarily related to a favorable legal settlement related to previously sold operations. Loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily related to legal expenses associated with previously sold operations. Income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily related to a favorable legal settlement related to previously sold operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were $45.6 million as of June 30, 2019, as compared to $44.9 million as of December 31, 2018. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we generated net cash from operating activities of $39.5 million. We believe that our existing sources of liquidity will be sufficient to fund operations and capital commitments for at least the next 12 months.

As of June 30, 2019, we held approximately $44.1 million of our cash and cash equivalents outside of the United States, consisting of $19.1 million in Canada, $9.0 million in the Netherlands, $6.6 million in the United Arab Emirates, $5.4 million in the United Kingdom, and $1.3 million in certain other countries. In addition, there was $2.7 million in Iceland related to our investment in Esja, which we will use to develop the FlyOver Iceland attraction.

Debt and Finance Lease Obligations

Refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Lease Obligations of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion, all of which is incorporated by reference herein.

Share Repurchases

Our Board of Directors has authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. Effective February 7, 2019, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 500,000 shares. No shares were repurchased on the open market during the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repurchased 175,091 shares on the open market for $9.1 million. As of June 30, 2019, 600,067 shares remained available for repurchase. The Board of Directors’ authorization does not have an expiration date.

Additionally, we repurchased shares related to tax withholding requirements on vested restricted stock awards.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We have not entered into any off-balance sheet arrangements with unconsolidated special-purpose or other entities that would materially affect our financial position, results of operations, liquidity, or capital resources. Furthermore, we do not have any relationships with special-purpose or other entities that provide off-balance sheet financing; liquidity, market risk, or credit risk support; or engage in leasing or other services that may expose us to liability or risks of loss that are not reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Refer to Note 12 – Debt and Finance Lease Obligations and Note 20 – Litigation, Claims, Contingencies, and Other of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Part I, Item 1 of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q) for further information, which information is incorporated by reference herein.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Refer to “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” (Part II, Item 7) of our 2018 Form 10-K, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Impact of Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Refer to Note 1 – Overview and Basis of Presentation of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to disclosing financial results that are determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), we also disclose the following non-GAAP financial measures: Segment operating income,  organic revenue, and organic segment operating income (collectively, the “Non-GAAP Measures”). Our use of Non-GAAP Measures is supplemental to, but not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance reported in accordance with GAAP. As not all companies use identical calculations, our Non-GAAP Measures may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. We believe that our use of Non-GAAP Measures provides useful information to investors regarding our results of operations for trending, analyzing, and benchmarking our performance and the value of our business.

 

“Segment operating income” is net income attributable to Viad before income (loss) from discontinued operations, corporate activities, interest expense and interest income, income taxes, restructuring charges, and the reduction for income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Segment operating income is used to measure the profit and performance of our operating segments to facilitate period-to-period comparisons. Refer to Note 22 – Segment Information of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a reconciliation of segment operating income (loss) to income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes.

 

“Organic revenue” and “organic segment operating income (loss)” are revenue and segment operating income (loss) (as defined above), respectively, 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 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. We believe the presentation of “organic” results permits investors to better understand our performance without the

45


 

 

effects of exchange rate variances or acquisitions and to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of our operating performance. Refer to the “Results of Operations” section of this MD&A for reconciliations of organic revenue and organic segment operating income (loss) to the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

Non-GAAP Measures are considered useful operating metrics as they eliminate potential variations arising from taxes, debt service costs, and the effects of discontinued operations, resulting in additional measures considered to be indicative of our ongoing operations and segment performance. Although we use Non-GAAP Measures to assess the performance of our business, the use of these measures is limited because these measures do not consider material costs, expenses, and other items necessary to operate our business. These items include debt service costs, expenses related to U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes, the effects of discontinued operations, as well as exchange rate variances. As the Non-GAAP Measures do not consider these items, you should consider net income attributable to Viad as an important measure of financial performance because it provides a more complete measure of our performance.

Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We also provide segment operating income (loss) as a forward-looking Non-GAAP Measure within the “Results of Operations” section of this MD&A. We do not provide a reconciliation of this forward-looking Non-GAAP Measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure because, due to variability and difficulty in developing accurate forecasts and projections or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible, not all of the information necessary for a quantitative reconciliation of this forward-looking Non-GAAP Measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is available without unreasonable efforts. Consequently, any attempt to disclose such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that investors could find confusing or misleading. It is probable that this forward-looking Non-GAAP Measure may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP Measure.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Our market risk exposure relates to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. Foreign exchange risk is the risk that fluctuating exchange rates will adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations. Interest rate risk is the risk that changing interest rates will adversely affect our financial position or results of operations.

Our foreign operations are primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, and to a lesser extent, in certain other countries. The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. Accordingly, for purposes of consolidation, we translate the assets and liabilities of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at the foreign exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. The unrealized gains or losses resulting from the translation of these foreign denominated assets and liabilities are included as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As a result, significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates relative to the U.S. dollar may result in material changes to our net equity position reported in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. We do not currently hedge our equity risk arising from the translation of foreign denominated assets and liabilities. We recorded cumulative unrealized foreign currency translation losses in stockholders’ equity of $27.2 million as of June 30, 2019 and $36.3 million as of December 31, 2018. We recorded unrealized foreign currency translation gains in other comprehensive income of $9.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and unrealized foreign currency translation losses of $11.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2018, in each case, net of tax.

For purposes of consolidation, revenue, expenses, gains, and losses related to our foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at the average foreign exchange rates for the period. As a result, our consolidated results of operations are exposed to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates as revenue and segment operating income (loss) of our foreign operations, when translated, may vary from period to period, even when the functional currency amounts have not changed. Such fluctuations may adversely impact overall expected profitability and historical period-to-period comparisons. We do not currently hedge our net earnings exposure arising from the translation of our foreign revenue and segment operating income. Refer to “Foreign Exchange Rate Variances” section of this MD&A.

We are exposed to foreign exchange transaction risk, as our foreign subsidiaries have certain revenue transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency of the respective subsidiary. From time to time, we utilize forward contracts to mitigate the impact on earnings related to these transactions due to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have any outstanding foreign currency forward contracts.

We are exposed to short-term and long-term interest rate risk on certain of our debt obligations. We do not currently use derivative financial instruments to hedge cash flows for such obligations.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

We have established disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management, together with our CEO and CFO, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2019.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended June 30, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
