Forward guidance

Assuming no future material adverse changes to the macro environment from COVID, geo-political events, or other factors, we expect Adjusted EBITDA will be in the ranges shown in the following table. We continue to operate in a very dynamic environment and our performance could vary significantly from the amounts shown below.

Tailwinds

  • US same store revenue out-performs 2019 on strong domestic leisure travel demand
  • Canada same store revenue remains below 2019 on partial recovery of long-haul international leisure travel
  • New experiences continue to ramp as awareness builds and long-haul leisure travel partially recovers
  • Revenue management efforts to drive rate increases offset wage inflation
  • Exhibitions same-show revenue will generally remain at or better than 75% of pre-pandemic levels

Headwinds

  • Overall margins will improve from 2021 but remain below 2019 due to guest mix
  • Experiential marketing budgets of major Spiro clients are approximately 80% of pre-pandemic levels
  • SG&A will gradually increase to support increased business activity and future revenue growth
  • Run rate remains consistent with first quarter
