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;  seasonality of our businesses;  the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, and cash flow;  our ability to anticipate and adjust for the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our businesses;  unanticipated delays and cost overruns of our capital projects, and our ability to achieve established financial and strategic goals for such projects;  our exposure to labor shortages, turnover, and labor cost increases;  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; 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.

 NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES  This document includes the presentation of “Adjusted EBITDA” and ”Income (Loss) Before Other Items”, which 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 should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, other similar measures reported in accordance with GAAP.    The use of these non-GAAP financial measures 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 these non-GAAP measures do 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, acquisition-related costs, attraction start-up costs, restructuring charges, impairment charges, and the reduction/increase for income/loss attributable to non-redeemable and redeemable non-controlling interests.   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.  Income (Loss) Before Other Items is defined by management as net income attributable to Viad before income (loss) from discontinued operations, acquisition-related costs, attraction start-up costs, restructuring charges, impairment charges, other non-recurring expenses, and tax matters.   Income (Loss) Before Other Items is considered a useful operating metric, in addition to net income attributable to Viad, as potential variations arising from non-operational expenses/income are eliminated, thus resulting in an additional measure considered to be indicative of Viad’s performance.   3  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, acquisition-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.

 APPENDIX 
 

 24  Q4 AND FY REVENUE AND ADJUSTED EBITDA 
 

 FORWARD-LOOKING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES  We have also provided forward−looking guidance for Adjusted EBITDA, a non−GAAP financial measure. We do not provide a reconciliation of the forward−looking guidance of Adjusted EBITDA, a non−GAAP financial measure, to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure 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 measure may be materially different from the corresponding forward-looking GAAP financial measure.  NON-GAAP FINANCIAL RECONCILIATION  25  Revenue has been adjusted in 2019 for immaterial errors related to the revenue recognition of GES’ Corporate Accounts’ third-party services, which are now reported on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services.  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 Hotel in Canada.  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.  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.  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. 
 

 26  NON-GAAP FINANCIAL RECONCILIATION  Remeasurement of finance lease obligation attributable to Viad 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 that is attributed to Viad’s 51% interest in Sky Lagoon.
