Briefing

Viad Corp's first quarter revenue was affected by pandemic-related restrictions, but the company continued its focus on cash flow management and made progress on initiatives that position it for stronger results.

Viad Corp reported a first-quarter revenue of $28.9 million, a significant decrease from $294.7 million in the same period last year, primarily due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on live events.

  • Advance bookings for lodging at Pursuit’s Glacier Park and Alaska Collections are pacing ahead of 2019.
  • Pursuit’s collection of experiences is growing with three new attractions opening during the second and third quarters.
  • GES is preparing to service large-scale exhibitions beginning in June with its more variable cost structure.

Forward guidance

Viad is seeing increased demand and optimism for both leisure travel and in-person events with strong advance bookings for rooms at Pursuit’s iconic locations and Las Vegas recently approved large scale events beginning in June.

Tailwinds

  • Strong advance bookings for rooms at Pursuit’s iconic locations.
  • Room reservations pacing ahead of 2019 at the Glacier Park and Alaska Collections.
  • Banff bookings will benefit from pent-up perennial demand once Canada re-opens its borders for international tourism.
  • Face-to-face events are taking place in some locations.
  • Las Vegas recently approved large scale events beginning in June.

Headwinds

  • First quarter revenue was affected by pandemic-related restrictions.
  • Banff bookings remain constrained by the Canadian border closure.
  • International travel remained constrained during this seasonally slow period.
  • First quarter cash flow from operations was an outflow of approximately $33 million.
  • Financial covenants under our revolving credit facility have been waived through September 2022, during which time we are required to maintain minimum liquidity of $100 million.
