Forward guidance

Viad Corp raised its full year guidance, seeing strengthening demand across the exhibition and event sector and from international leisure travel to Pursuit’s markets, along with acceleration of visitation at Pursuit’s new experiences.

Tailwinds

  • Lifting of all COVID restrictions at the Canadian border
  • Acceleration of new experiences
  • Ongoing focus on improving the guest experience

Headwinds

  • Expect GES will mostly offset the headwinds of negative show rotation revenue ($30M)
  • The sale of ON Services ($50M)
  • Exhibitions same show revenue expected to remain at ~90% of 2019 levels
  • Spiro clients’ marketing spend expected to be similar to 2022, plus new client wins
  • We intend to prudently invest in talent and capabilities at Spiro to fuel growth in 2023 and beyond
