Viad Corp Announces Preliminary Results for the 2020 First Quarter, Provides Update on Liquidity and COVID-19 Impacts

Highlights

  • First quarter 2020 preliminary results were stronger than 2019 first quarter results due to positive show rotation at GES, partially offset by the impact of COVID-19
  • March 31, 2020 cash of $130.5 million, debt of $440.6 million, and leverage ratio of 3.13x
  • Significant actions taken to address the impact of COVID-19 and preserve liquidity

PHOENIX--()--Viad Corp (NYSE: VVI) today reported preliminary financial results for the first quarter of 2020. These preliminary results do not include anticipated non-cash impairment charges due to the impact of COVID-19, which will be reflected in Viad’s GAAP financials upon filing our Form 10-Q.

COVID-19 Business Impacts

Steve Moster, president and chief executive officer, commented, “The COVID-19 pandemic is having a material impact on our operations and financial performance, with live event and tourism activities largely shut down. As select areas of the global economy have begun to re-open, primarily at the discretion of local authorities, we are beginning to restart our business with enhanced health and safety protocols in place. On May 7th, we re-opened FlyOver Iceland, and we plan to begin re-opening other Pursuit experiences in June as restrictions are eased. However, exhibition and event activity has yet to resume.”

Moster continued, “Given the evolving, uncertain nature of COVID-19, it is impossible to predict how the pandemic will continue to impact the events industry and the broader travel market. Accordingly, we are unable to provide financial guidance at this time.”

Moster concluded, “I am very proud of how our team has responded to these unprecedented circumstances. We acted swiftly to protect the health and safety of our employees, clients, guests, and communities to help limit the spread of the virus, while also making difficult decisions to shutter operations and reduce staffing levels, amongst other actions to reduce costs. Our industries and our businesses have endured prior periods of disruption and we are determined to take the appropriate steps to help ensure we are able to weather this turbulent time.”

First Quarter 2020 Preliminary Results

Preliminary revenue was $306.0 million, up 7.1% from the 2019 first quarter primarily due to positive show rotation of approximately $57 million at GES, partially offset by show postponements and cancellations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Preliminary net loss attributable to Viad was $10.6 million, versus a loss of $17.8 million in the 2019 first quarter. Preliminary adjusted segment operating loss* was $8.4 million, versus a loss of $11.0 million in the prior year quarter, and adjusted segment EBITDA* was $6.9 million, up $4.7 million from the 2019 first quarter. The increase in adjusted segment EBITDA was primarily due to higher revenue at GES and the elimination of performance-based incentives, partially offset by increased seasonal operating losses at Pursuit driven primarily by our June 2019 Mountain Park Lodges acquisition and the opening of FlyOver Iceland.

* Refer to Table 2 of this press release for a discussion and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

Moster further commented, “Through the end of February, both GES and Pursuit were on pace for a strong first quarter. In early March, as a result of COVID-19 concerns, we began to see event postponements and cancellations at GES, as well as some cancelled bookings at Pursuit. This quickly escalated into the shut-down of event activity and tourism as government mandated closures and stay-at-home orders went more broadly into effect around the world.”

“Our focus will continue to be on cash flow as we manage through this challenging and uncertain time. As demand halted, we essentially placed our businesses into a state of hibernation to preserve cash. At Pursuit, we have begun to thoughtfully re-open our attractions and hotels as governmental restrictions are being lifted and new reservations are once again coming in. For GES, we are cautiously optimistic that, as governments lift restrictions, events in certain geographies will start to take place again during the third quarter and we stand ready to reactivate areas of that business when it makes sense to do so. I want to thank our teams for everything they are doing to support our businesses during this unprecedented time,” stated Moster.

Liquidity Update

We have taken the following measures to improve our liquidity position in response to COVID-19:

  • We have fully drawn on our revolving line of credit to increase our cash position and we have obtained a waiver of our financial covenants for the second quarter.
  • We have implemented aggressive cost reduction actions, including furloughs, mandatory unpaid time off, and salary reductions for all employees across the company. Our executive management team voluntarily reduced its base salaries by 20% to 50%.
  • We have eliminated all non-essential capital expenditures and discretionary spending.
  • Each non-employee member of our Board of Directors has agreed to reduce his or her cash retainer by 50% for payments typically made to them in the second quarter of 2020.
  • We have suspended future dividend payments and share repurchases.
  • We have taken advantage of available governmental assistance programs for wage and tax relief and continue to evaluate additional opportunities.

At March 31, 2020, our total cash was $130.5 million and our debt totaled $440.6 million, with $33 million of capacity remaining on our revolving credit facility. We drew the remaining $33 million at the beginning of April, bringing our cash position to approximately $163 million.

“Based on the very difficult, yet necessary actions we have taken to reduce costs and preserve cash, and as we continue to collect accounts receivable, we anticipate that our cash outflow during the second quarter will approximate $40 million. This leaves us ample liquidity to withstand the near-term impacts of COVID-19. Additionally, we are in productive discussions with our lender group for longer-term covenant relief, as we evaluate options to help ensure we have adequate liquidity for the future,” said Moster.

Delay of First Quarter 2020 Form 10-Q Filing

The impact of COVID-19 on our business has resulted in the need to perform additional asset impairment assessments, which will delay the filing of our first quarter Form 10-Q. The preliminary financial results discussed in this press release do not include impairment charges and the corresponding tax effects, which are currently being evaluated. We do not expect the non-cash impairment charges to impact future operations or affect our liquidity or compliance with debt covenants. However, we expect the impact on Viad’s reported GAAP financial results to be material.

VIAD CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
TABLE ONE - NOTES TO PRELIMINARY QUARTERLY RESULTS
PRELIMINARY, SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL REVISION BASED ON IMPAIRMENT TESTING AND FINAL CLOSING PROCEDURES
(UNAUDITED)
 
(A) Corporate Activities — The decrease in corporate activities expense during the three months ended March 31, 2020 relative to 2019 was primarily due to lower performance-based compensation expense as we reduced our estimated performance achievement to zero as a result of COVID-19.
 
(B) Restructuring Charges — Restructuring charges during the three months ended March 2020 and 2019 were primarily related to the elimination of certain positions at GES.
 
(C) Impairment Charges — The impact of COVID-19 on our business has resulted in the need to perform additional asset impairment assessments, which are not yet complete. The preliminary financial results presented in this press release do not include expected impairment charges and the corresponding tax effects, which are currently being evaluated. The impairment charges are expected to be material to Viad’s financial results and will be reflected in Viad’s GAAP financials upon filing our 2020 First Quarter Form 10-Q.
 
(D) Legal Settlement — During 2019, we recorded a charge to resolve a legal dispute at GES involving a former industry contractor.
 
(E) Net Interest Expense — The increase in net interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 relative to 2019 was primarily due to higher debt balances in 2020.
 
(F) Income Tax Benefit — The effective tax rate was 22% and 30% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. The decrease in the effective rate was primarily due to higher domestic losses which are taxed at a lower rate relative to the losses in other jurisdictions and lower tax benefits from share based compensation.
 
(G) Loss from Discontinued Operations — Loss from discontinued operations during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 was primarily related to legal expenses related to previously sold operations.

TABLE TWO - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
PRELIMINARY, SUBJECT TO SUBSTANTIAL REVISION BASED ON IMPAIRMENT TESTING AND FINAL CLOSING PROCEDURES
(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.
