NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Emerald Holding, Inc. (NYSE: EEX) ("Emerald" or the "Company"), America's largest producer of trade shows and their associated conferences, content and commerce, today reported financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2024.
Financial Highlights
- Revenues of $86.0 million for the second quarter 2024, a decrease of $0.5 million, or 0.6% over Q2 2023, primarily due to several small, discontinued events that were not contributing to profitability and scheduling differences.
- Organic Revenues, a non-GAAP measure, which takes into account the impact of acquisitions, scheduling adjustments and discontinued events, if any, of $82.1 million for the second quarter 2024, an increase of $2.6 million, or 3.3%, from $79.5 million for the second quarter 2023 (Refer to Schedule 1 for a reconciliation to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure)
- Net loss of $2.8 million for the second quarter 2024, compared to net loss of $8.1 million for the second quarter 2023.
- Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $15.3 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $14.6 million for the second quarter 2023 (Refer to Schedule 3 for a reconciliation to net (loss) income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure)
- Ended the quarter with $193.2 million in cash and full availability of its $110.0 million revolving credit facility.
Operational Highlights
- Emerald's board of directors announced its intention to restart a regular quarterly dividend, and declared a dividend of $0.015 per share for the quarter ending September 30, 2024.
- For the full year 2024, the Company continues to expect to generate revenues within the originally communicated guidance of $415 million to $425 million in revenue and between $110 million and $115 million of Adjusted EBITDA.
Hervé Sedky, Emerald's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are pleased to report another quarter of solid growth in organic revenue and Adjusted EBITDA, despite it being our seasonally smaller second quarter. The continued positive trends indicate that our customers continue to value the high return on investment of live events, evidenced by higher re-bookings along with sustained strength in pricing as we move through the year. We remain focused on transforming Emerald into a powerful, diverse and scalable platform with strong momentum. Additionally, we are excited to announce that we are reinstituting a regular quarterly dividend policy that was suspended during the pandemic and which was approved by our board of directors to reward shareholders with a tangible return of capital. This decision reflects the strong, reliable, cash flow-generating nature of our business and our visibility into continued earnings growth as we look ahead. It is also part of our balanced capital allocation framework which combines a disciplined M&A strategy with prudent leverage and investments back into our core business."
David Doft, Emerald's Chief Financial Officer, added, "Our outlook continues to reflect the sustained, positive trends we've been seeing in the business since the COVID-19 recovery began. We continue to expect meaningful year-over-year revenue growth, as reflected in our full year guidance, along with improving margins as we leverage our operating cost base. Our forward visibility into trade show bookings including into the first half of 2025, as well as the critical place of trade shows in companies' marketing budgets gives us confidence in our ability to drive continued year-over-year growth for the foreseeable future."

- Second quarter 2024 revenues were $86.0 million, a decrease of $0.5 million or 0.6% versus the second quarter 2023, driven primarily by prior year discontinued event revenue of $3.7 million that was not contributing to profitability and scheduling adjustments of $1.1 million, offset by organic growth of $2.6 million as well as $1.7 million in revenue from acquisitions.
- Second quarter 2024 Organic Revenues from the Connections reportable segment were $71.1 million, an increase of $2.5 million or 3.6% versus the second quarter 2023.
- Second quarter 2024 Organic Revenues from the All Other category were $11.0 million, an increase of $0.1 million or 0.9% versus the second quarter of 2023, due to a $0.3 million increase in Commerce revenues offset by a $0.2 million decrease in Content revenues.
- Second quarter 2024 net loss was $2.8 million, compared to net loss of $8.1 million for the second quarter 2023 principally as a result of higher Adjusted EBITDA and lower depreciation and amortization.
- Second quarter 2024 Adjusted EBITDA was $15.3 million, compared to $14.6 million for the second quarter 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Information
This press release presents certain "non-GAAP" financial measures. The components of these non-GAAP measures are computed by using amounts that are determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). A reconciliation of non-GAAP financial measures used in this press release to their nearest comparable GAAP financial measures is included in the schedules attached hereto.
Organic Revenue
We define "Organic revenue growth" and "Organic revenue decline" as the growth or decline, respectively, in our revenue from one period to the next, adjusted for the revenue impact of: (i) acquisitions and dispositions, (ii) discontinued events and (iii) material show scheduling adjustments. We disclose changes in Organic revenue because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing Emerald's operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe provide a fair comparison of the trends underlying our existing event portfolio given changes in timing or strategy. Management and Emerald's board of directors evaluate changes in Organic revenue to evaluate our historical and prospective financial performance and understand underlying revenue trends of our events.
Adjusted EBITDA
We use Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it assists investors and analysts in comparing Emerald's operating performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that we do not believe are indicative of our core operating performance. Management and Emerald's board of directors use Adjusted EBITDA to assess our financial performance and believe it is helpful in highlighting trends because it excludes the results of decisions that are outside the control of management, while other measures can differ significantly depending on long-term strategic decisions regarding capital structure, the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, and capital investments. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of financial performance or to cash flows from operations as a liquidity measure.
We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income before (i) interest expense, net, (ii) provision for income taxes, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges and (vi) other items that management believes are not part of our core operations.
We have also presented Adjusted EBITDA excluding event cancellation insurance proceeds in order to illustrate the amount of Adjusted EBITDA from continuing operations.
Note: Schedule 3 provides reconciliations for 2024 and 2023 Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, however, it is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of show scheduling adjustments, acquisitions and certain other special items that may occur in 2024 as these items are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. As a result, the Company is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be included in a reconciliation of 2024 projected Adjusted EBITDA to projected net income without unreasonable efforts and has not provided reconciliations for these forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures.
Free Cash Flow
We present Free Cash Flow because we believe it is a useful indicator of liquidity that provides information to management and investors about the amount of cash generated from our core operations that, after capital expenditures, can be used to maintain and grow our business, for the repayment of indebtedness, payment of dividends and to fund strategic opportunities. Free Cash Flow is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of liquidity and is not based on any standardized methodology prescribed by GAAP. Free Cash Flow should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities or other measures determined in accordance with GAAP.
We have also presented Free Cash Flow excluding event cancellation insurance proceeds, net in order to illustrate the amount of Free Cash Flow from continuing operations.
Other companies may compute these measures differently. No non-GAAP metric should be considered as an alternative to any other measure derived in accordance with GAAP.
Cautionary Statement Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This press release contains and our earnings call will contain certain forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, our ability to return our business to pre-COVID levels; our guidance with respect to estimated revenues and Adjusted EBITDA; our ability or inability to obtain insurance coverage relating to event cancellations or interruptions; our intention to continue to pay regular quarterly dividends; and our ability to successfully identify and acquire acquisition targets; our expectations arising from the ongoing impact of COVID-19 on our business; and how we integrate and grow acquired businesses. In particular, the declaration, timing and amount of any future dividends will be subject to the discretion and approval of the Board and will depend on a number of factors, including Company's results of operations, cash flows, financial position and capital requirements, any applicable restrictions under the Company's debt facilities, as well as general business conditions, legal, tax and regulatory restrictions and other factors the Board deems relevant at the time it determines to declare such dividends. These statements involve risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, economic, competitive, governmental and technological factors outside of the Company's control that may cause its business, industry, strategy, financing activities or actual results to differ materially. See "Risk Factors" and "Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" in the Company's most recently filed periodic reports on Form 10-K and Form 10-Q and subsequent filings. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise any of the forward-looking statements contained herein, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
