Slide 2

Forward-looking statements This presentation contains a number of forward-looking statements. Words, and variations  of  words,  such  as “will,” “may,” “expect,” “would,” “could,” “might,” “intend,” “plan,” “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “deliver,” “seek,” “aim,” “potential,” “target,” “outlook,” and similar expressions are intended to identify our forward-looking  statements. Similarly, statements that describe our business strategy, outlook, objectives, plans, initiatives, intentions or goals also are  forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts and are subject to a host of risks and uncertainties, many of which are beyond our control, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.  Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following: general economic uncertainty in key global markets and a worsening of global economic conditions; travel industry disruptions; the impact of our overall level of indebtedness, as well as our financial covenants, on our operational and financial flexibility; seasonality of our businesses; unanticipated delays and cost overruns of our capital projects, and our ability to achieve established financial and strategic goals for such projects; the importance of key members of our account teams to our business relationships; our ability to manage our business and continue our growth if we lose any of our key personnel; the competitive nature of the industries in which we operate; our dependence on large exhibition event clients; adverse effects of show rotation on our periodic results and operating margins; transportation disruptions and increases in transportation costs; natural disasters, weather conditions, accidents, and other catastrophic events; our exposure to labor cost increases and work stoppages related to unionized employees; our multi-employer pension plan funding obligations; our ability to successfully integrate and achieve established financial and strategic goals from acquisitions; our exposure to cybersecurity attacks and threats;  our exposure to currency exchange rate fluctuations; liabilities relating to prior and discontinued operations; Sufficiency and cost of insurance coverage; and compliance with laws governing the storage, collection, handling, and transfer of personal data and our exposure to legal claims and fines for data breaches or improper handling of such data. For a more complete discussion of the risks and uncertainties that may affect our business or financial results, please see Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” of our most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. We disclaim and do not undertake any obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statement in this presentation except as required by applicable law or regulation.


Slide 3

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES This document includes the presentation of “Adjusted EBITDA”, which is 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.  This non-GAAP measure should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other similar measures reported in accordance with GAAP.   The use of this non-GAAP financial measure is limited, compared to the GAAP measure of net income attributable to Viad, because it does not consider a variety of items affecting Viad’s consolidated financial performance as explained below.  Because this non-GAAP measure does 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. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by management as net income attributable to Viad before income (loss) from discontinued operations, interest expense and interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, transaction-related costs, attraction start-up costs, restructuring charges, impairment losses, the reduction/increase for income/loss attributable to non-redeemable and redeemable non-controlling interests, and gains or losses from sales of businesses. Adjusted EBITDA is considered a useful operating metric, in addition to net income attributable to Viad, as potential variations arising from non-recurring integration costs, non-cash amortization and depreciation, and non-operational expenses/income are eliminated, thus resulting in an additional measure considered to be indicative of Viad’s consolidated and segment performance. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information to investors regarding Viad’s results of operations for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of Viad’s business. Forward-Looking Non-GAAP Measures The company has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for adjusted EBITDA to its respective most comparable GAAP measure because certain reconciling items that impact this metric including, provision for income taxes, interest expense, restructuring or impairment charges, transaction-related costs, and attraction start-up costs have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the nearest GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact the company’s results as reported under GAAP.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL RECONCILIATION Includes costs related to the development of Pursuit's new FlyOver attractions in Las Vegas, Chicago, and Toronto, the Sky Lagoon in Iceland, and the Golden Skybridge and Forest Park Alpine Hotel in Canada. Remeasurement of finance lease obligation represents the non-cash foreign exchange loss/(gain) included within Cost of Services related to the periodic remeasurement of the Sky Lagoon finance lease obligation. Includes inventory write-offs at GES in connection with transitioning to an outsourced model for trade show aisle carpet. Includes non-capitalizable fees and expenses related to Viad’s credit facility refinancing efforts. Corporate Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as Corporate activities expense before depreciation, acquisition-transaction-related costs and other non-recurring costs included within Corporate activities expense. FORWARD-LOOKING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES We have also provided the following forward−looking non−GAAP financial measure: Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, and Free Cash Flow. We do not provide a reconciliation of these forward−looking non−GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because, due to variability and difficulty in making accurate forecasts and projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible, not all of the information necessary for quantitative reconciliations is available to us without unreasonable efforts. Consequently, any attempt to disclose such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. It is possible that the forward−looking non−GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding forward-looking non−GAAP financial measure.

Success stories: Rise at the Paris air show Our team relished challenging the traditional airshow chalet experience of the usual formal meeting rooms, traditional hospitality and passive product displays. We went all in on creating impact for the customer’s first impression creating an amorphic video wall & content as well as integrating the RISE half-scale engine to a digital surface projection story. Leading with tech driven content that helped bring the incredible innovation stories to life, the approach from our creative, technologists and production teams has helped transform the way GE Aerospace thinks about its experiences at air shows and beyond. As a world-leading provider of jet engines, commercial and military aircraft systems, GE Aerospace partnered with Spiro to inspire minds at the Paris Air Show 2023 and bring to life its incredible heritage culminating in the story of RISE – its revolutionary open rotor technology.

From the digital content to the groundbreaking build, we focused on sustainable design, creating a huge array of modular experience structures that could be used by the L’Oréal brand teams across the US and around the globe. For over a century, L’Oréal has been dedicated to one sole vocation: creating beauty.
