PHOENIX--(BUSINESS WIRE)--February 4, 2011--Viad Corp (NYSE:VVI) today announced full year 2010 income from continuing operations of $181,000, or $0.01 per diluted share. Viad’s income before other items was $3.8 million, or $0.19 per diluted share, which excludes restructuring charges of $0.13 per share, unfavorable resolution of tax matters of $0.04 per share and non-cash impairment charges of $0.01 per share. This compares to the company’s prior guidance of income before other items per share of $0.11 to $0.26 and the 2009 full year loss before other items of $0.11 per share.

  • Revenues of $844.8 million were up $39.0 million (4.8%) from 2009
  • Segment operating income of $14.8 million was up $10.6 million from 2009
  • Free cash flow was $23.0 million versus an outflow of $30.9 million in 2009
  • Cash and cash equivalents were $145.8 million at December 31, 2010
  • Debt was $9.1 million, with a debt-to-capital ratio of 2.3% at December 31, 2010
  • Net restructuring charges were $4.2 million pre-tax, primarily related to continued reorganization activities and leased facilities

Paul B. Dykstra, chairman, president and chief executive officer, said, “We achieved significant gains in 2010, driven by increased demand in the industries we serve and strong execution by our employees throughout the year. Our Marketing & Events Group delivered on its target to reduce U.S. overhead costs by approximately $10 million and grew international market share. Our Travel & Recreation Group delivered double-digit revenue growth and maintained operating margins of more than 22 percent. In addition, we generated full year free cash flow of $23 million, and once again finished the year with a strong balance sheet.”


In the fourth quarter, Viad’s loss from continuing operations was $4.7 million, or $0.24 per share. Viad’s loss before other items was $3.9 million, or $0.20 per share, which excludes restructuring charges of $0.05 per share, favorable resolution of tax matters of $0.02 per share and non-cash impairment charges of $0.01 per share. This compares to the company’s prior guidance of a loss before other items of $0.27 per share to $0.12 per share and the 2009 fourth quarter loss before other items of $0.35 per share.

Viad’s Marketing & Events Group

For the fourth quarter of 2010, Marketing & Events Group results were in line with the company’s prior guidance, with revenue and operating results increasing by $16.1 million and $6.8 million, respectively, from 2009. U.S. segment operating results increased $6.3 million on a $9.3 million revenue increase. The improved U.S. results reflect base same-show revenue growth of 16.6 percent, a new holiday program installation for a leading shopping center client, and overhead reductions, partially offset by negative show rotation of approximately $5 million. Base same-shows represented 27 percent of fourth quarter Marketing & Events U.S. revenue. Fourth quarter International segment revenue increased $9.3 million and operating income increased $576,000, primarily due to positive show rotation of approximately $4 million as well as market share gains. During the quarter, foreign exchange rate variances negatively impacted revenue by approximately $900,000 and had an insignificant impact on operating income versus the 2009 quarter.


Full year Marketing & Events Group revenue and operating results improved $26.0 million and $7.7 million, respectively, from 2009. U.S. segment operating results improved $6.9 million on a $2.5 million increase in revenue, primarily reflecting overhead reductions of approximately $10 million, partially offset by accruals for performance-based incentives, which were not significant in 2009. Full year International segment revenue increased $25.1 million, with a $862,000 increase in operating income, primarily reflecting market share gains, partially offset by higher accruals for performance-based incentives and the reinstatement of full wages after a temporary reduction in 2009. Additionally, foreign exchange rate variances favorably impacted revenue and operating income by approximately $4.3 million and $500,000, respectively, versus 2009.

Dykstra said, “Our Marketing & Events Group began to see improvements in the exhibition and event industry in 2010, with two straight quarters of base same-show growth. During the year, we reduced our U.S. cost structure, and we integrated Lean techniques into our day-to-day culture, which resulted in variable cost savings that helped to offset pricing pressures. Our International segment also had great success in leveraging our leading market positions and the strength of our worldwide network to grow share.”

Viad’s Travel & Recreation Group

Travel & Recreation Group results met the high end of the company’s prior guidance during the seasonally slow fourth quarter with revenue of $6.5 million and an operating loss of $2.7 million. Excluding foreign exchange rate variances, revenue increased $463,000, and operating income declined by $275,000 from the 2009 quarter.

Full year Travel & Recreation Group operating income grew $2.8 million on a revenue increase of $13.0 million. Foreign exchange rate variances favorably impacted full year revenue and operating income by approximately $4.4 million and $538,000, respectively, versus 2009. Excluding foreign exchange rate variances, the full year revenue increase was $8.6 million, or 11.4 percent, and full year operating income grew $2.3 million, or 13.4 percent.

Dykstra said, “Our Travel & Recreation Group had a great year with strong revenue growth and margins of more than 22 percent, reflecting improved tourism demand as well as initiatives to capture incremental spend per guest. Glacier Park, Inc. had a record year as the team capitalized on the centennial anniversary of Glacier National Park. Brewster benefited from improved demand from tour groups and increased transportation business related to the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.”


2011 Outlook

Guidance provided by Viad is subject to change as a variety of factors can affect actual results. Those factors are identified in the safe harbor language at the end of this press release.

Dykstra said, “The exhibition and event industry began to improve during the second half of 2010, and, while visibility over future revenues remains somewhat challenging, we anticipate continued same-show growth in 2011. We expect the Marketing & Events Group to return to profitability as a result of continued industry growth, positive show rotation and the cost structure improvements we made during the past two years. We remain focused on delivering high-quality customer service, capitalizing on market opportunities and continuing to increase efficiencies and drive down costs.

“The Travel & Recreation Group benefited from stronger tourism demand in 2010, and we expect 2011 to be another strong year. We increased our share of rooms in the Glacier National Park area through the acquisition of Grouse Mountain Lodge on January 5. The addition of this great property gives us a year-round presence in the market and will help to offset lost room revenues at our Many Glacier Hotel as a result of construction during the 2011 season. The Travel & Recreation team remains focused on its initiatives to enhance the guest experience and capture additional spend per guest.”

2011 Full Year Guidance Marketing & Events Group (Global Experience Specialists and affiliates)

  • Total revenue is expected to increase at a mid-single-digit rate compared to 2010 revenue.
    • Same-show revenue is expected to increase at a mid-single-digit rate in the U.S.
    • Annual show rotation, which refers to shows that occur less frequently than annually, is expected to positively impact full year revenue by approximately $10 million. Quarterly show rotation also includes annual shows that shift quarters from one year to the next.
      • First quarter show rotation is expected to positively impact revenue by approximately $35 million.
      • Second quarter show rotation is not expected to have a meaningful impact on revenue.
      • Third quarter show rotation is expected to negatively impact revenue by approximately $25 million.
      • Fourth quarter show rotation is not expected to have a meaningful impact on revenue.
  • Segment operating results are expected to return to a profitable level driven by increased revenues, partially offset by higher performance-based incentives, as well as merit increases that did not occur in 2009 or 2010.

Travel & Recreation Group

  • Revenues are expected to increase at a low single-digit rate from 2010, reflecting continued improvement in tourism demand as well as the acquisition of Grouse Mountain Lodge, which will more than offset the lost room nights at Many Glacier Hotel due to construction.
  • Operating margins are expected to decrease slightly from 2010 as a result of high flow through on lost room nights at Many Glacier Hotel.

Corporate & Other

  • Corporate activities expense is expected to approximate $7 million.
  • Exchange rates are assumed to approximate $0.96 U.S. Dollars per Canadian Dollar and $1.56 U.S. Dollars per British Pound. Currency translation is not expected to have a meaningful impact on income per share.
  • The effective tax rate is assumed to be 38 to 39 percent, as compared to the 2010 effective tax rate on income before other items of 37.0 percent.

2011 First Quarter Guidance

For the first quarter, Viad’s income per share is expected to be in the range of $0.25 to $0.40. This compares to the first quarter 2010 loss before other items of $0.02 per share. Revenue is expected to be in the range of $265 million to $280 million as compared to $224.4 million in the 2010 first quarter. Segment operating income is expected to be in the range of $10 million to $15 million as compared to $199,000 in 2010. The increases from 2010 are expected to be driven primarily by positive show rotation of approximately $35 million and expected increases in tradeshow marketing spend (including continued same-show growth).

Income before other items, Adjusted EBITDA and Free Cash Flow 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 used by management to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of Viad’s operating performance and liquidity. Management believes these non-GAAP measures are useful to investors in trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of Viad’s business. These non-GAAP measures should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other similar measures reported in accordance with GAAP.
