Emerald Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2023 Financial Results
Revenue Growth of 17.5% Year-over-Year
NEW YORK, N.Y. – February 29, 2024 – 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 fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2023.
Financial Highlights
Operational Highlights
Hervé Sedky, Emerald’s President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We delivered another year of strong results in 2023. As a highly diversified and scaled platform, Emerald continues to benefit from the extended post-Covid recovery with strong demand from exhibitors and attendees alike. Improvements in our customers’ supply chains and the removal of international travel restrictions are driving higher exhibitor attendance at our trade shows and contributing to increases in attendees and pricing. Our highlights in 2023 include the acquisition of Lodestone Events and their Overland Expo show, the successful launch of the Cocina Sabrosa Latin food expo in September, and the largest ever edition of Advertising Week New York, which we hosted in October. Our recent performance demonstrates the exceptional and durable value that trade shows offer to buyers and sellers alike. We are excited for 2024 and beyond as we continue to grow our portfolio of must-attend events and deliver greater value to our exhibitors, attendees, and shareholders. In the end, we are guided by our deep commitment to the communities we serve. Our mission is to serve and inspire, empowering both buyers and sellers to succeed. Their continued return for more is a testament to the value they find in what we offer and the knowledge that our steadfast dedication to our community is what truly sets us apart.”
David Doft, Emerald’s Chief Financial Officer, added, “We achieved substantial top and bottom line growth in 2023 on the back of positive attendance and pricing trends as our customers continue to see our trade shows as instrumental in growing their own businesses, generating leads, and discovering new products. For the full year 2023, we grew revenue more than 17% and Adjusted EBITDA more than 67%, excluding insurance proceeds, over the prior year. The performance of our media content business was muted in 2023 as many companies in the tech sector took a more cautious approach to advertising spend, which slightly detracted from the otherwise strong performance in our core live events business. Looking ahead, we have positioned Emerald to be an engine of sustained growth through our strategy of organically growing attendance and pricing as well as through acquisitions and new show launches. Our guidance for 2024 implies another double-digit percentage increase in EBITDA, supported by positive trends in our industry, operational and scale efficiencies, and a large and growing portfolio of industry-leading events.”

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 (loss) income before (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax benefit, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) stock-based compensation, (v) deferred revenue adjustment, (vi) goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges, and (vii) 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 2023 and 2022 Adjusted EBITDA to net (loss) income, however, it is not possible, without unreasonable efforts, to estimate the impacts of show scheduling adjustments, acquisitions and the amount and timing of receipt of event cancellation insurance proceeds 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; 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. 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.
