Exhibit 99.1
 
Viad Corp Delivers Solid 2018 Second Quarter Results
 
Income per Share Exceeds Prior Guidance
Strong Execution at both GES and Pursuit
 
 PHOENIX, July 26, 2018 -- Viad Corp (NYSE: VVI) today announced second quarter 2018 results that were stronger than prior guidance. Continued underlying growth at GES and Pursuit largely offset negative show rotation from non-annual events that occurred during the 2017 second quarter.  
Steve Moster, president and chief executive officer, commented, “We delivered solid second quarter results with continued same-show growth at GES and same-store growth at Pursuit. Our team executed well during the quarter and remains focused on our strategy to bolster GES’ competitive position and to scale our high margin Pursuit business. I remain confident in our ability to continue driving shareholder value through disciplined capital allocation and execution against our strategic goals.”

 	o	The organic revenue decline primarily reflects negative show rotation of $15 million, partially offset by continued underlying growth at both GES and Pursuit.	
•	Adjusted segment operating income, adjusted segment EBITDA and income before other items declined compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to the decrease in revenue.  	
•	The decline in net income attributable to Viad primarily reflects impairment recoveries of $1.6 million after-tax and favorable tax matters of $1.2 million, which were recorded in the 2017 second quarter.

GES Results
Moster said, “GES’ second quarter revenue came in at the high end of our prior guidance range, as continued base same-show growth, new client wins, and favorable exchange rate variances helped to offset negative show rotation. Operating income exceeded our prior expectations primarily due to strong execution and cost management by the GES team.”

(1)	Base same-shows are defined as shows produced by GES out of the same city during the same quarter in both the current year and prior year.  Base same-shows represented 30.2% of GES’ U.S. organic revenue during the 2018 second quarter.	
(2)	Show rotation refers to shows that take place once every two, three or four years, as well as annual shows that change quarters from one year to the next.	
 
•	GES revenue of $315.3 million decreased 1.5% ($4.8 million) year-over-year.  On an organic basis, which excludes the impact of exchange rate variances, revenue decreased 2.9% ($9.3 million).	
 	o	U.S. organic revenue decreased 0.3% ($0.8 million) primarily due to negative show rotation of $5 million, partially offset by U.S. base same-show growth of 1.2% and new business wins.	
 	o	International organic revenue decreased 10.9% ($9.3 million) primarily due to negative show rotation of approximately $10 million, partially offset by new business wins.	
•	GES adjusted segment operating income of $29.1 million* decreased $1.6 million year-over-year, and $1.9 million on an organic basis.	
 	o	U.S. organic adjusted segment operating income decreased by $0.4 million to $20.9 million* primarily due to lower revenue.	
 	o	International organic adjusted segment operating income decreased by $1.6 million to $7.8 million* primarily due to lower revenue.	
 
Pursuit Results
Moster said, “Pursuit delivered healthy second quarter revenue growth of 8.3%, which was slightly lower than our prior guidance due to less favorable exchange rates as well as poor weather conditions that affected passenger counts at some of our attractions. Through the team’s strong focus on cost management, Pursuit’s operating income remained in line with our prior guidance for the quarter.”

(2)	Same-store revenue per passenger is calculated as total attractions revenue divided by the total number of passengers for all comparable Pursuit attractions, expressed on a constant currency basis.  Comparable attractions are defined as those owned by Viad for the entirety of both periods.  	
 
•	Pursuit revenue of $48.4 million increased 8.3% ($3.7 million) year-over-year. On an organic basis, which excludes the impact of exchange rate variances and acquisitions, revenue increased 6.0% ($2.7 million) primarily driven by our revenue management efforts across our attractions and hospitality assets.	
•	Pursuit adjusted segment operating income of $10.0 million* was unchanged year-over-year. Organic adjusted segment operating income of $9.8 million decreased $0.2 million primarily due to additional costs to support continued growth of the business.	
 
Cash Flow / Capital Structure

•	Our cash flow from operations was $34.9 million for the 2018 second quarter.	
•	Our capital expenditures for the quarter totaled $21.5 million, comprised of $17.4 million for Pursuit, and $4.1 million for GES.	
•	Our return of capital totaled $11.1 million for the quarter, including:	
 	o	Our repurchase of 175,091 shares of our common stock for $9.1 million. As of June 30, 2018, we had 265,449 shares remaining under our current repurchase authorization.	
 	o	Our regular quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share, totaling $2.0 million.

Business Outlook
Our guidance is subject to change as a variety of factors, identified in the safe harbor language at the end of this press release, can affect actual results.  
We have provided the following forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures:  Adjusted Segment EBITDA, Adjusted Segment Operating Income and Income Before Other Items. We do not provide quantitative reconciliations of these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because, due to variability and difficulty in developing accurate projections and/or certain information not being ascertainable or accessible, not all of the information necessary to do so is available to us without unreasonable effort. Consequently, any attempt to disclose such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that could be confusing or misleading to investors. It is probable that our forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures may be materially different from the corresponding GAAP financial measures.
 
 2018 Full Year Guidance
 Our full year outlook remains largely unchanged with the exception of revised expectations for exchange rates and tax rates.
Moster said, “Overall, our businesses are performing well and I remain encouraged by the opportunities that lie ahead of us. We expect GES to benefit from positive show rotation and continued same-show growth during the second half of 2018.  Pursuit is just entering its peak season and we’re expecting another year of strong visitation and organic growth.  Additionally, we successfully re-opened our Mount Royal Hotel and are seeing great demand and guest feedback on the upgrades we made to that property.   However, with the devaluing of the Canadian Dollar versus the U.S. Dollar over recent months, we believe it is prudent to lower our guidance for Pursuit to reflect unfavorable currency translation. Additionally, we have updated our tax rate guidance to reflect a more favorable view regarding the impact of Tax Reform.”

•	We expect consolidated revenue to increase at a low single-digit rate from 2017 full year revenue, driven primarily by continued growth in the underlying business, partially offset by negative show rotation of about $40 million at GES.	
•	We expect consolidated adjusted segment EBITDA to be in the range of $154.5 million to $158.5 million, as compared to $154.2 million* in 2017.  This guidance range reflects a reduction from our prior guidance of $156.5 million to $160.5 million due to revised exchange rate assumptions and the expected impact on the translation of Pursuit’s Canadian results.	
•	Our guidance assumes that exchange rates during the rest of 2018 will approximate $0.76 U.S. Dollars per Canadian Dollar (versus prior guidance of $0.79) and $1.33 U.S. Dollars per British Pound (versus prior guidance of $1.41).  As compared to 2017, we expect exchange rate variances to impact 2018 full year results as follows:	
 	 	Viad Total	 	 	GES	 	 	Pursuit	 	
 	 	$ in millions, except per share data	 	
Revenue	 	$	7.5	 	 	$	10.0	 	 	$	(2.5	)	
Adjusted Segment Operating Income	 	$	(1.5	)	 	$	0.5	 	 	 	(2.0	)	
Income per Share Before Other Items	 	$	(0.05	)

•	The outlook for our business units is as follows:	
 
 	 	GES	 	Pursuit	
$ in millions	 	 	 	 	
Revenue	 	Comparable to $1,133 in 2017	 	Up high-single digits
(from $174 in 2017)	
Adjusted Segment EBITDA	 	$85 to $88 (vs. $88.2* in 2017)	 	$69 to $71 (vs. $66.0* in 2017)	
Depreciation & Amortization	 	$40 to $41	 	$19 to $20	
Adjusted Operating Income	 	$44.5 to $47.5 (vs. $50.9* in 2017)	 	$49.5 to $51.5 (vs. $48.4* in 2017)	
Capital Expenditures	 	$33 to $35	 	$59 to $63
(inclusive of $19 for the Mount
Royal Hotel and $10 for FlyOver
Iceland)	
 
 	o	We expect GES show rotation to have a net negative impact on full year revenue of about $40 million versus 2017.  Show rotation refers to shows that occur less frequently than annually, as well as annual shows that shift quarters from one year to the next.

 	o	We expect GES U.S. base same-show revenue to increase at a low single digit rate.	
 	o	During the 2017 third quarter, GES adjusted segment EBITDA and adjusted segment operating income included income of $2.8 million related to a contract settlement, which will not recur in 2018.	
 	o	We expect Pursuit revenue to be favorably impacted by approximately $5 million from the re-opening of the Mount Royal Hotel in July 2018, as well as continued focus on revenue management and refresh efforts across our attraction and hospitality portfolio.	
 	o	We expect start-up costs related to the development of Pursuit’s FlyOver Iceland attraction, which is expected to open in 2019, to approximate $1 million during 2018 ($0.4 million of which was incurred during the first half of 2018).  These costs are not included in the adjusted segment EBITDA or adjusted segment operating income guidance ranges above.	
 	o	Our capital expenditure guidance for Pursuit includes approximately $19 million to complete the restoration and renovation of the Mount Royal Hotel and approximately $10 million to begin development of the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The Mount Royal Hotel expenditures are being funded primarily by the property insurance proceeds received during 2017.  The FlyOver Iceland expenditures are being funded primarily out of our 2017 capital contribution relating to the FlyOver Iceland attraction.	
•	We expect corporate activities expense to approximate $10 million to $11 million.	
•	We expect our effective tax rate on income before other items to approximate 28% to 29%, which is based on our current best estimates regarding the impact of Tax Reform. This reduction from our prior guidance of 30% is based on additional research and interpretation of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. More specifically, we have determined that the additional GILTI tax will be fully offset by foreign tax credits generated. The higher rate relative to the 21% U.S. federal corporate tax rate is due to our foreign

•	We expect Pursuit third quarter results to increase primarily due to continued focus on revenue management and refresh efforts across our attraction and hospitality portfolio.

VIAD CORP AND SUBSIDIARIES
TABLE ONE – NOTES TO QUARTERLY RESULTS
(UNAUDITED)

(A)	Corporate Activities — The decrease in corporate activities expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 relative to 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in performance-based compensation expense.	
(B)	Restructuring Charges — During the three months ended June 30, 2018, Viad recorded restructuring charges primarily related to the elimination of certain positions at GES. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, Viad recorded restructuring charges primarily related to the elimination of certain positions at GES and Pursuit. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, Viad recorded restructuring charges primarily related to the elimination of certain positions and facility consolidations at GES, as well as the elimination of certain positions at Viad’s corporate office.	
(C)	Impairment Recoveries — The impairment recoveries recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 were related to insurance proceeds received as a partial settlement for fire damage to our Mount Royal Hotel.	
(D)	Other Expense — On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2017-07, which requires retrospective adoption. As a result, we recorded the nonservice cost component of net periodic benefit cost within other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, and we reclassified $0.2 million and $0.7 million from operating expenses to other expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, to conform to current period presentation.	
(E)	Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations — The income from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2018 was primarily related to a favorable legal settlement related to previously sold operations.  The loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was primarily related to an increase in reserves to resolve certain environmental matters related to previously sold operations, offset in part by a reduction in an uncertain tax position due to the lapse of statute during the 2017 second quarter.	
(F)	Income per Common Share — Following is a reconciliation of net income attributable to Viad to net income allocated to Viad common shareholders:

TABLE TWO – NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
(UNAUDITED)
IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
This document includes the presentation of “Income/(Loss) Before Other Items”, “Adjusted EBITDA”, “Adjusted Segment EBITDA” and “Adjusted Segment Operating Income/(Loss)”, 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 are utilized by management to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of Viad’s operating performance and should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes 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 they do not consider a variety of items affecting Viad’s consolidated financial performance as reconciled 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.
Income/(Loss) Before Other Items and Adjusted Segment Operating Income/(Loss) are considered useful operating metrics, in addition to net income attributable to Viad, as potential variations arising from non-operational expenses/income are eliminated, thus resulting in additional measures considered to be indicative of Viad’s performance. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted Segment EBITDA provide useful information to investors regarding Viad’s results of operations for trending, analyzing and benchmarking the performance and value of Viad’s business.  Management also believes that the presentation of Adjusted Segment EBITDA for acquisitions and other major capital projects enables investors to assess how effectively management is investing capital into major corporate development projects, both from a valuation and return perspective.

Organic - The term “organic” is used within this document to refer to results without the impact of exchange rate variances and acquisitions, if any, until such acquisitions are included in the entirety of both comparable periods.  The impact of exchange rate variances (or “FX Impact”) is calculated as the difference between current period activity translated at the current period’s exchange rates and the comparable prior period’s exchange rates.  Management believes that the presentation of “organic” results permits investors to better understand Viad’s performance without the effects of exchange rate variances or acquisitions.
