Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Overview and Basis of Presentation	Note 1. Overview and Basis of Presentation Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP or United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for complete financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024 (“2023 Form 10-K”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viad and its subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany account balances and transactions in consolidation.

Standard Description Date of adoption Effect on the financial statements Standards Recently Adopted ASU 2023-07 , Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures Amendment expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. 1/1/2024 This new guidance will expand our footnote disclosures within the scope of this new standard with no impacts to our consolidated financial statements. The required disclosures are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025. Significant Accounting Policies Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment testing of recorded goodwill and intangible assets and long-lived assets; allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales reserve allowances; provisions for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets; liabilities for losses related to self-insured liability claims; liabilities for losses related to environmental remediation obligations; sublease income associated with restructuring liabilities; pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations; share-based compensation costs; the discount rates used to value lease obligations; the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests; and the allocation of purchase price of acquired businesses. These estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions, global inflationary pressures, and volatility in foreign exchange rates. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less . Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank demand deposits. Restricted cash represents collateral required for surety bonds, bank guarantees, letters of credit, and corporate credit cards. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consist of the following: June 30, December 31, (in thousands) 2024 2023 Cash and cash equivalents $ 59,381 $ 52,704 Restricted cash included in other current assets 3,006 6,325 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows $ 62,387 $ 59,029 Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on a specified amount of consideration in a contract with a customer, net of commissions paid to customers and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a product or delivering the service to a customer. Pursuit’s service revenue is derived through its admissions, accommodations, and transportation services. Product revenue is derived through food and beverage and retail sales. Revenue is recognized at the time services are performed or upon delivery of the product. Pursuit’s service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits, and product revenue is recognized at a point in time. GES’ service revenue is primarily derived through its comprehensive range of marketing, event production, and other related services to event organizers and corporate brand marketers. GES’ service revenue is earned over time over the duration of the live event, which generally lasts one to three days. Revenue for goods and services provided for which we do not have control of the goods or services before that good or service is transferred to a customer is recorded on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services. GES’ product revenue is derived from the build of exhibits, environments, and graphics and is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the product. Noncontrolling Interests – Non-redeemable and Redeemable Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. We report non-redeemable noncontrolling interest within stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to Viad and the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We consider noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control to be redeemable noncontrolling interests. Our redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to our 56.4 % equity ownership interest in Esja Attractions ehf. (“Esja”), which owns the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The Esja shareholders agreement contains a put option that gives the minority Esja shareholders the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a calculated formula within a predefined term. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered mezzanine equity and we report it between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of the net income or loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the accretion of the redemption value is recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and is included in our income (loss) per share. Refer to Note 22 – Noncontrolling Interests – Redeemable and Non-redeemable for additional information. Convertible Preferred Stock We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of costs on the date of issuance. Dividends paid-in-kind increase the redemption value of the preferred stock. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as mezzanine equity and is reported between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leases We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and classify leases as either finance or operating leases. The classification of the lease determines whether we recognize the lease expense on an effective interest method basis (finance lease) or on a straight-line basis (operating lease) over the lease term. In determining whether an agreement contains a lease, we consider if we have a right to control the use of the underlying asset during the lease term in exchange for an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities at commencement date, which is when the underlying asset is available for use to a lessee, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our operating and finance leases are primarily facility, equipment, and land leases. Our facility leases comprise mainly manufacturing facilities, sales and design facilities, offices, storage and/or warehouses, and truck marshaling yards for our GES business. These facility leases have lease terms ranging up to 34 years. Our equipment leases comprise mainly vehicles, hardware, and office equipment, each with various lease terms. Our land leases comprise mainly leases in Canada and Iceland on which our Pursuit hotels or attractions are located and have lease terms ranging up to 46 years. If a lease contains a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, then the lease term includes the optional periods in measuring a ROU asset and lease liability. We evaluate the reasonably certain threshold at lease commencement, and it is typically met if we identify substantial economic incentives or termination penalties. We do not include variable leases and variable non-lease components in the calculation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. For facility leases, variable lease costs include the costs of common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance for which we pay our lessors an estimate that is adjusted to actual expense on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the underlying contract terms. We expense these variable lease payments as incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Substantially all of our lease agreements do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, and as such, we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on lease term and country in order to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a collateralized basis and is the expected rate at which we would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term and the country. We are also a lessor to third party tenants who either lease certain portions of facilities that we own or sublease certain portions of facilities that we lease. We record lease income from owned facilities as rental income and we record sublease income from leased facilities as an offset to lease expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We classify all of our leases for which we are the lessor as operating leases.

Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]
Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities	Note 2. Revenue and Related Contract Costs and Contract Liabilities Pursuit’s performance obligations are short-term in nature. They include the provision of a hotel room, an attraction admission, a chartered or ticketed bus or van ride, and/or the sale of food, beverage, or retail products. We recognize revenue when the service has been provided or the product has been delivered. When we extend credit, payment terms are generally within 30 days and contain no significant financing components. GES’ performance obligations consist of services or product(s) outlined in a contract. While we often sign multi-year contracts for recurring events, the obligations for each occurrence are well defined and conclude upon the occurrence of each event. The obligations are typically the provision of services and/or sale of a product in connection with a live event. Revenue for goods and services provided for which we do not have control of the goods or services before that good or service is transferred to a customer is recorded on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services. We recognize revenue for services generally at the close of the live event. We recognize revenue for products either upon delivery to the customer’s location, upon delivery to an event that we are serving, or when we have the right to invoice. In circumstances where a customer cancels a contract, we generally have the right to bill the customer for costs incurred to date. Payment terms are generally within 30 - 60 days and contain no significant financing components. Contract Liabilities Pursuit and GES typically receive customer deposits prior to transferring the related product or service to the customer. We record these deposits as a contract liability, which are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of the related contract performance obligation(s). GES also provides customer rebates and volume discounts to certain event organizers that we recognize as a reduction of revenue. We include customer deposits in “Contract liabilities” and “Other deferred items and liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to contract liabilities are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 53,322 Cash additions 152,091 Revenue recognized ( 121,576 ) Foreign exchange translation adjustment ( 361 ) Balance at June 30, 2024 $ 83,476 Contract Costs GES capitalizes certain incremental costs incurred in obtaining and fulfilling contracts. Capitalized costs principally relate to direct costs of materials and services incurred in fulfilling services of future live events, and also include up-front incentives and commissions incurred upon contract signing. We expense costs associated with preliminary contract activities (i.e. proposal activities) as incurred. Capitalized contract costs are expensed upon the transfer of the related goods or services and are included in “Costs of services” or “Costs of products” in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations as applicable . We include the deferred incremental costs of obtaining and fulfilling contracts in “Current contract costs” and “Other investments and assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Changes to contract costs are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 21,974 Additions 53,822 Expenses ( 40,295 ) Foreign exchange translation adjustment ( 57 ) Balance at June 30, 2024 $ 35,444 As of June 30, 2024 , capitalized contract costs consisted of $ 3.1 million to obtain contracts and $ 32.3 million to fulfill contracts. We did no t recognize an impairment loss with respect to capitalized contract costs during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 or 2023.

We use a discounted expected future cash flow methodology (income approach) to estimate the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing.

The 2021 Credit Facility provided for a $ 400 million term loan (“Term Loan B”) and a $ 100 million revolving credit facility (“Revolving Credit Facility”). The proceeds of the Term Loan B, net of $ 14.8 million in related fees, were used to repay the $ 327 million outstanding balance under our prior $ 450 million revolving credit facility and to provide for financial flexibility to fund future acquisitions and growth initiatives and for general corporate purposes. On October 6, 2023, we entered into the Third Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility, which among other things, increased the principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility by $ 70 million, bringing the total amount of revolving capacity to $ 170 million, and added Brewster Inc., an Alberta corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as a co-borrower. In connection with the amendment, we prepaid $ 70 million of the outstanding balance on our existing Term Loan B using $ 60 million from the Revolving Credit Facility, which has a lower credit spread as discussed below, and $ 10 million of cash from the Company’s balance sheet. LIBOR Transition Amendment On February 6, 2023, we entered into the LIBOR Transition Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility to replace the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) with the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) for U.S. dollar borrowings on our Term Loan B and Revolving Credit Facility. In accordance with the LIBOR replacement provisions outlined in the 2021 Credit Facility, additional credit spread adjustments apply to SOFR ranging from 0.11448 % (for a one-month duration) up to 0.71513 % (for a 12-month duration). As discussed below under “Term Loan B”, those additional credit spread adjustments were eliminated for our Term Loan B borrowings with the Fourth Amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement, but remain in place for borrowings under our Revolving Credit Facility. CDOR Transition Amendment On June 28, 2024, we entered into the Canadian Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes Amendment (“CDOR Transition Amendment”) to the 2021 Credit Facility to replace the Canadian Dollar Offered Rate (“CDOR”) with the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) for Canadian dollar borrowings on our revolver. Additional credit spread adjustments apply to CORRA ranging from 0.29547 % (for a one-month duration) up to 0.32138 % (for a three-month duration). Term Loan B The Term Loan B has a maturity date of July 30, 2028 , is subject to quarterly amortization of principal of $1.0 million, and carries no financial covenants. Interest rates are based on SOFR plus a credit spread, with a SOFR floor of 0.50% . On April 26, 2024, we entered into the Fourth Amendment to the 2021 Credit Agreement, which among other things, (i) reduced the SOFR credit spread from 5.00% to 4.25% on the Term Loan B, (ii) set the additional credit spread adjustments to 0 % on the Term Loan B, and (iii) reset the 1 % prepayment premium on any repricings of the Term Loan B for six months. As discussed in Note 12 – Derivative , we entered into an interest rate cap agreement that manages our exposure to interest rate increases on $ 300 million of borrowings under the 2021 Credit Facility or other SOFR-based borrowings and provides us with the right to receive payment if the one-month SOFR exceeds 5.0 % (“Strike Rate”). Revolving Credit Facility The Revolving Credit Facility has a maturity date of July 30, 2026 and carries financial covenants. On March 23, 2022, we entered into the First Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility and on March 28, 2023, we entered into the Second Amendment to the 2021 Credit Facility. The amendments modified the financial covenants to the following: • Maintain a total net leverage ratio of not greater than 4.00 to 1.00; and • Maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 2.00 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2024, our total net leverage ratio was 2.40 to 1.00 , the interest coverage ratio w as 3.69 to 1.00 , and we were in compliance with all covenants under the Revolving Credit Facility. Interest rates for U.S. dollar borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility are based on SOFR (plus additional credit spread adjustments as detailed above under “LIBOR Transition Amendment”). We also have the option to borrow U.S. funds based on the “Base Rate”, which for any day is the highest of the Fed Funds Rate plus 0.50 %, Bank of America’s publicly announced “prime rate”, and SOFR plus 1.00 %. Interest rates for Canadian dollar borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility are based on CORRA (plus additional credit spread adjustments as detailed above under “CDOR Transition Amendment”). We also have the option to borrow Canadian funds based on the “Canadian Prime Rate”, which for any day is the higher of the per annum rate of interest designated by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) from time to time as its prime rate for commercial loans made by it in Canada in Canadian dollars, and the CORRA Rate for a one-month Interest Period as of such day, plus 1.00 %. Credit spreads for borrowings on our Revolving Credit Facility are based on Viad’s total net leverage ratio and range from 2.50 % to 3.50 % for SOFR and CORRA borrowings and from 1.50 % to 2.50 % for Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate borrowings. Additionally, a 1.00 % floor applies to the Base Rate and a 0 % floor applies to the Canadian Prime Rate. The Revolving Credit Facility includes an undrawn fee ranging from 0.30 % to 0.50 % that is based on Viad’s total net leverage ratio. As of June 30, 2024 , capacity remaining under the Revolving Credit Facility was $ 79.4 million, reflecting $ 170 million total facility size, less $ 84.9 million outstanding balance from Viad and Brewster, Inc. and $ 5.7 million in outstanding letters of credit. In addition to U.S. dollar borrowings and Canadian dollar borrowings, we may also borrow funds on the Revolving Credit Facility in Pound Sterling based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average and Euros based on the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) , plus applicable credit spreads. No such borrowings had been made as of June 30, 2024. Jasper Credit Facility Effective May 16, 2023, Pursuit entered into a $ 27.0 million Canadian dollar (approximately $ 20.0 million U.S. dollars) credit facility (the “Jasper Credit Facility”). The Jasper Credit Facility provides for a $ 17.0 million Canadian dollar term loan (“Jasper Term Loan”) and a $ 10.0 million Canadian dollar revolving credit facility (“Jasper Revolving Credit Facility”). The Jasper Credit Facility matures on January 31, 2028. The Jasper Revolving Credit Facility carries financial covenants as follows: • Maintain a pre-compensation fixed-charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.30 to 1.00; and • Maintain a post-compensation fixed-charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00. As of June 30, 2024 , both the pre-compensation and post-compensation fixed-charge coverage ratios were 4.48 to 1.00 , and Pursuit was in compliance with all covenants under the Jasper Credit Facility. Jasper Term Loan The proceeds of the Jasper Term Loan reflect the outstanding balance under Pursuit’s prior Forest Park construction loan facility at the time it was converted to the Jasper Term Loan of $ 16.8 million Canadian dollars. The Jasper Term Loan bears interest at a 6.5 % fixed rate. Jasper Revolving Credit Facility The proceeds of the Jasper Revolving Credit Facility are used to fund capital improvements. As of June 30, 2024 , capacity remaining under the Jasper Revolving Credit Facility was $ 7.0 million Canadian dollars (approximately $ 5.1 million U.S. dollars). The Jasper Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus 2.25 %. FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility Effective February 15, 2019, FlyOver Iceland ehf., (“FlyOver Iceland”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Esja, entered into a credit agreement with a € 5.0 million (approximately $ 5.6 million U.S. dollars) credit facility (the “FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility”) with an original maturity date of March 1, 2022 . The loan proceeds were used to complete the development of the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The loan bears interest at the three month EURIBOR plus 4.9 %. FlyOver Iceland entered into an addendum effective December 1, 2021 wherein the principal payments were deferred for twelve months beginning December 1, 2021, with the first payment due December 1, 2022 and the maturity date was extended to September 1, 2027. On February 27, 2024, FlyOver Iceland reached an agreement to amend and extend the FlyOver Iceland Credit Facility, wherein the principal payments are deferred for six months beginning March 1, 2024, with equal quarterly principal payments due beginning September 1, 2024 and a maturity date of September 1, 2029. The amended terms also include a modification of the financial covenants and an adjustment of the interest rate to three month EURIBOR plus 5.5 %, decreasing to 4.9 % once FlyOver Iceland’s leverage ratio is below 4.00 to 1.00 . FlyOver Iceland Term Loans During 2020, FlyOver Iceland entered into three term loans totaling ISK 90.0 million (approximately $ 0.7 million U.S. dollars) (the “FlyOver Iceland Term Loans”). The first term loan for ISK 10.0 million was entered into effective October 15, 2020 and matured on April 1, 2023 . It bore interest on a seven-day term deposit rate at the Central Bank of Iceland . The second term loan for ISK 30.0 million was entered into effective October 15, 2020 with a maturity date of October 1, 2024 and bears interest on a seven-day term deposit at the Central Bank of Iceland plus 3.07%. The third term loan for ISK 50.0 million was entered into effective December 29, 2020 with an original maturity date of February 1, 2023, w hich was extended to February 1, 2024 by way of a subsequent amendment, and bears interest at one-month Reykjavik InterBank Offered Rate (“REIBOR”) plus 4.99%. On February 27, 2024, FlyOver Iceland reached an agreement with its lender to refinance the ISK 50.0 million loan with a new ISK 50.0 million term loan, which was repaid on August 1, 2024. The Icelandic State Treasury guarantees supplemental loans provided by credit institutions to companies impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Accordingly, the Icelandic State Treasury guaranteed the repayment of up to 85% of the principal and interest on the ISK 10.0 million and ISK 30.0 million term loans and 70% of the principal amount on the ISK 50.0 million term loan . Loan proceeds were used to fund FlyOver Iceland operations. Financing Arrangements We entered into insurance premium financing arrangements with two financial intermediaries in order to finance certain of our insurance premium payments. The financing arrangements are payable within the next 12 months and bear a weighted average interest rate of 8.1 %. Changes to our financing arrangements are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ — Additions 13,062 Payments ( 7,986 ) Foreign currency translation adjustment ( 102 ) Balance at June 30, 2024 $ 4,974

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivative	Note 12. Derivative Interest Rate Cap On January 4, 2023, we entered into an interest rate cap agreement with an effective date of January 31, 2023. The interest rate cap manages our exposure to interest rate increases on $ 300 million in SOFR-based borrowings under our 2021 Credit Facility and provides us with the right to receive payment if the one-month SOFR exceeds the Strike Rate. Beginning on February 28, 2023, we pay a fixed monthly deferred premium based on an annual rate of 0.3335 % for the interest rate cap, which matures on January 31, 2025 . During the three months ended June 30, 2024 , we received gross proceeds from the interest rate cap of $ 0.2 million and $ 0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as one-month SOFR exceeded the Strike Rate. We designated the interest rate cap as a cash flow hedge designed to hedge the variability of the SOFR-based interest payments on our 2021 Credit Facility. The interest rate cap is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The fair value is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques and reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate cap including the price of the cap and the period to maturity. While there are no quoted prices in active markets, our calculation uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The interest rate cap is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Refer to Note 13 – Fair Value Measurements for the related fair value disclosures. The fair value of the interest rate cap is as follows: June 30, December 31, (in thousands) Classification 2024 2023 Derivatives designated as hedging instruments Interest rate cap - short-term Other current liabilities $ 160 $ 443 Interest rate cap - long-term Other deferred items and liabilities — 45 Total derivatives designated as hedging instruments $ 160 $ 488 Changes in the fair value of the interest rate cap are recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss)” (“ AOCI”). Amounts accumulated in AOCI are reclassified to “Interest expense, net” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations when the hedged item affects earnings. We reclassified to interest expense, net, approximately $ 0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and approximately $ 0.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 , and $ 0.2 million remained in unrealized losses in AOCI as of June 30, 2024 . We estimate that $ 0.1 million will be reclassified to earnings within the next 12 months.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	Note 13. Fair Value Measurements The fair value of an asset or liability is defined as the price that would be received by selling an asset or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted prices and other observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows: Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value. The fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows: Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in thousands) June 30, 2024 Quoted Prices Significant Significant Assets: Other mutual funds (1) $ 5,021 $ 5,021 $ — $ — Total assets at fair value on a recurring basis $ 5,021 5,021 $ — $ — Liabilities: Interest rate cap (2) $ 160 $ — $ 160 $ — Total liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis $ 160 $ — $ 160 $ — Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using (in thousands) December 31, 2023 Quoted Prices Significant Significant Assets: Other mutual funds (1) $ 4,271 $ 4,271 $ — $ — Total assets at fair value on a recurring basis $ 4,271 $ 4,271 $ — $ — Liabilities: Interest rate cap (2) $ 488 $ — $ 488 $ — Total liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis $ 488 $ — $ 488 $ — (1) We include other mutual funds in “Other investments and assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or if-converted method. The two-class method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than the participating securities. The if-converted method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares including the participating securities. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted share units and convertible preferred stock. We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per common share as unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and convertible preferred stock are considered participating securities. Accordingly, such securities are included in the earnings allocation in calculating income (loss) per share. The adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is reflected in income (loss) per common share. We excluded the following weighted-average potential common shares from the calculations of diluted net income (loss) per common share during the applicable periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Convertible preferred stock — — — 6,674 Unvested restricted share-based awards 2 17 25 163 Unvested performance share-based awards 152 159 102 155 Stock options 138 372 138 376

Equity [Abstract]
Common and Preferred Stock	Note 15. Common and Preferred Stock Convertible Series A Preferred Stock On August 5, 2020, we entered into an investment agreement with funds managed by private equity firm Crestview Partners (the “Investment Agreement”), relating to the issuance of 135,000 shares of newly issued Convertible Series A Preferred Stock, par value $ 0.01 per share (the “Convertible Preferred Stock”), for an aggregate purchase price of $ 135 million or $ 1,000 per share. The $ 135 million issuance was offset in part by $ 9.2 million of expenses related to the capital raise. We have classified the Convertible Preferred Stock as mezzanine equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet due to the existence of certain change in control provisions that are not solely within our control. The Convertible Series A Preferred Stock carries a 5.5 % cumulative quarterly dividend, which is payable in cash or in-kind at Viad’s option and is convertible at the option of the holders into shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $ 21.25 per share. Dividends paid-in-kind increase the redemption value of the preferred stock. The redemption value of the preferred stock was $ 141.8 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. Upon the occurrence of a change in control event, the holders have a right to require Viad to repurchase such preferred stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 , $ 3.9 million of dividends were declared, all of which were paid in cash. We intend to pay preferred stock dividends in cash for the foreseeable future. Holders of the Convertible Series A Preferred Stock are entitled to vote with holders of Viad’s common stock on an as-converted basis. Common Stock Repurchases Our Board of Directors previously authorized us to repurchase shares of our common stock from time to time at prevailing market prices. In March 2020, our Board of Directors suspended our share repurchase program. As of June 30, 2024 , 546,283 shares remain available for repurchase under all prior authorizations. Additionally, we repurchase shares related to tax withholding requirements on vested restricted stock awards. Refer to Note 3 – Share-Based Compensation .

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	Note 17. Income Taxes The effective tax rate was 16.3 % for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 63.9 % for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The effective tax rate was 30.0 % for the three months ended June 30, 2023 and a negative 86.2 % for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The income tax provision was computed based on our estimated annualized effective tax rate and the full-year forecasted income or loss plus the tax impact of unusual, infrequent, or nonrecurring significant items during the period. The amount and change of pre-tax income and loss recognized between jurisdictions impacted the reported effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 as we do not recognize a tax benefit primarily on losses in the United States where we have a valuation allowance, while recognizing tax expense in Canada, Netherlands, the Middle East, the United Kingdom, and Iceland. We included in the annualized effective rate a $ 1.1 million benefit for the release of the valuation allowance recorded on the United Kingdom’s tax loss carryforwards as the United Kingdom’s forecasted income will fully utilize these carryforward losses for the year. We also recorded a $ 0.5 million expense during the first quarter of 2024 to record estimated withholding taxes associated with repatriating all of Sky Lagoon’s earnings back to the United States and a valuation allowance against the tax credit generated from this withholding tax. The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2023 was further impacted by the release of a valuation allowance of $ 2.1 million during the first quarter of 2023 on deferred tax assets associated with certain separate state filings, which more than offset taxes due in jurisdictions without a valuation allowance. We paid net cash for income taxes of $ 5.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024 and $ 12.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024 of which $ 9.0 million of the $ 12.9 was paid to Canadian taxing authorities and $ 1.7 million to the Netherlands . We paid net cash for income taxes of $ 4.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2023 and $ 12.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2023 , of which $ 9.6 million of the $ 12.7 million was paid to Canadian tax authorities.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Litigation, Claims, Contingencies and Other	Note 21. Litigation, Claims, Contingencies, and Other We are plaintiffs or defendants in various actions, proceedings, and pending claims, some of which involve, or may involve, compensatory, punitive, or other damages. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the legal actions, proceedings, or claims could be decided against us. Although the amount of liability as of June 30, 2024 with respect to unresolved legal matters is not ascertainable, we believe that any resulting liability, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our business, financial position, or results of operations. On July 18, 2020, an off-road Ice Explorer operated by our Pursuit business was involved in an accident while enroute to the Athabasca Glacier, resulting in three fatalities and multiple other serious injuries. We immediately reported the accident to our relevant insurance carriers, who have supported our investigation and subsequent claims relating to the accident. In May 2023, we resolved charges from the Canadian office of Occupational Health and Safety in relation to this accident, resulting in fines and related payments in an aggregate amount of $ 0.5 million Canadian dollars (approximately $ 0.3 million U.S. dollars). We continue to manage our legal defense of various claims from the victims and their families. In addition, we believe that our reserves and, subject to customary deductibles, our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover potential claims related to this accident. We are subject to various United States federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution and the protection of the environment in the jurisdictions in which we have or had operations. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws and regulations, civil and criminal penalties could be imposed, and we could become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of injunctions and cease and desist orders. As is the case with many companies, we also face exposure to actual or potential claims and lawsuits involving environmental matters relating to our past operations. As of June 30, 2024, we had recorded environmental remediation liabilities of $ 1.1 million related to previously sold operations. Although we are a party to certain environmental disputes, we believe that any resulting liabilities, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations. As of June 30, 2024, on behalf of our subsidiaries, we had certain obligations under guarantees to third parties. These guarantees are not subject to liability recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements and relate to leased facilities and equipment leases entered into by our subsidiary operations. We would generally be required to make payments to the respective third parties under these guarantees in the event that the related subsidiary could not meet its own payment obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we would be required to make under all guarantees existing as of June 30, 2024 would be approximately $ 82.3 million. These guarantees relate to our leased equipment and facilities through January 2044 . There are no recourse provisions that would enable us to recover from third parties any payments made under the guarantees. Furthermore, there are no collateral or similar arrangements pursuant to which we could recover payments. A significant number of our employees are unionized and we are a party to approximately 100 collective bargaining agreements, with approximately one-third requiring renegotiation each year. If we are unable to reach an agreement with a union during the collective bargaining process, the union may call for a strike or work stoppage, which may, under certain circumstances, adversely impact our business and results of operations. We believe that relations with our employees are satisfactory and that collective bargaining agreements expiring in 2024 will be renegotiated in the ordinary course of business. Although our labor relations are currently stable, disruptions could occur, with the possibility of an adverse impact on the operating results of GES. We are self-insured up to certain limits for workers’ compensation and general liabilities, which includes automobile, product general liability, and client property loss claims. The aggregate amount of insurance liabilities (up to our retention limit) related to our continuing operations was $ 12.2 million as of June 30, 2024 , which includes $ 7.3 million related to workers’ compensation liabilities, and $ 4.9 million related to general liability claims. We have also retained and provided for certain workers’ compensation insurance liabilities in conjunction with previously sold businesses of $ 1.8 million as of June 30, 2024 . We are also self-insured for certain employee health benefits and the estimated employee health benefit claims incurred but not yet reported was $ 1.4 million as of June 30, 2024 . Provisions for losses for claims incurred, including actuarially derived estimated claims incurred but not yet reported, are made based on our historical experience, claims frequency, and other factors. A change in the assumptions used could result in an adjustment to recorded liabilities. We have purchased insurance for amounts in excess of the self-insured levels, which generally range from $ 0.2 million to $ 0.5 million on a per claim basis. We do not maintain a self-insured retention pool fund as claims are paid from current cash resources at the time of settlement. Our net cash payments in connection with these insurance liabilities were $ 1.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 , $ 2.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 , $ 0.7 for the three months ended June 30, 2023 , and $ 2.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. In addition, as of June 30, 2024 , we have recorded insurance liabilities of $ 7.8 million related to continuing operations, which represents the amount for which we remain the primary obligor after self-insured insurance limits, without taking into consideration the above-referenced insurance coverage. Of this total, $ 6.6 million is related to workers’ compensation liabilities and $ 1.2 million is related to general/auto liability claims, which is recorded in “Other deferred items and liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets with a corresponding receivable in “Other investments and assets.”

Noncontrolling Interest [Abstract]
Noncontrolling Interest – Redeemable and Non-redeemable	Note 22. Noncontrolling Interests – Redeemable and Non-redeemable Redeemable noncontrolling interest On November 3, 2017, we acquired the controlling interest ( 54.5 % of the common stock) in Esja, a private corporation in Reykjavik, Iceland. Subsequent to additional capital contributions, our equity ownership has increased to 56.4 % as of June 30, 2024. Through Esja and its wholly-owned subsidiary, we operate the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The minority Esja shareholders have the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a multiple of 5.0x EBITDA as calculated on the trailing 12 months from the most recently completed quarter before the put option exercise. The put option is only exercisable after August 2022 (the “Reference Date”), and in the event the FlyOver Iceland attraction has earned a minimum of € 3.25 million in unadjusted EBITDA during the most recent fiscal year and during the trailing 12-month period prior to exercise (the “Put Option Condition”). The put option is exercisable during a period of 12 months following the Reference Date (the “Option Period”) if the Put Option Condition has been met. If the Put Option Condition has not been met during the first Option Period, the Reference Date will be extended for an additional 12 months up to three times. If the Put Option Condition is met during any of the Option Periods, yet the shares are not exercised prior to the end of the 12-month Option Period, the put option will expire. If the FlyOver Iceland attraction has not achieved the Put Option Condition by December 31, 2024, the put option expires. As of June 30, 2024, the FlyOver Iceland attraction has not achieved the Put Option Condition and we do not anticipate the Put Option Condition to be achieved prior to expiration. The noncontrolling interest’s carrying value is determined by the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date and the noncontrolling interest’s share of the subsequent net income or loss. This value is benchmarked against the redemption value of the sellers’ put option. The carrying value is adjusted to the redemption value, provided that it does not fall below the initial carrying value, as determined by the purchase price allocation. We have made a policy election to reflect any changes caused by such an adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit), rather than to current earnings (loss). Changes in the redeemable noncontrolling interest are as follows: (in thousands) Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 4,733 Net loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interest ( 443 ) Foreign currency translation adjustment ( 91 ) Balance at June 30, 2024 $ 4,199 Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. Our non-redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the equity ownership interest that we do not own. Changes in the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest are as follows: (in thousands) Glacier Park Inc. Brewster (1) Sky Lagoon Total Balance at December 31, 2023 $ 18,159 $ 59,108 $ 11,921 $ 89,188 Net income (loss) attributable to non-redeemable noncontrolling interest ( 775 ) 171 1,488 884 Contributions (distributions) from/to non-controlling interests — 149 ( 3,300 ) ( 3,151 ) Foreign currency translation adjustments ( 14 ) ( 1,859 ) ( 279 ) ( 2,152 ) Balance at June 30, 2024 $ 17,370 $ 57,569 $ 9,830 $ 84,769 Equity ownership interest that we do not own 20 % 40 % 49 % (1) Includes Mountain Park Lodges and the Golden Skybridge at Brewster, part of the Banff Jasper Collection.

Segment Reporting [Abstract]
Segment Information	Note 23. Segment Information An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. We measure the profit and performance of our operations on the basis of segment operating income (loss), which excludes restructuring charges, impairment charges, and certain other corporate expenses that are not allocated to the reportable segments. Intersegment sales are eliminated in consolidation and intersegment transfers are not significant. Corporate activities include expenses not allocated to operations. Our reportable segments, with reconciliations to consolidated totals, are as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, (in thousands) 2024 2023 2024 2023 Revenue: Pursuit $ 101,201 $ 88,474 $ 138,432 $ 121,137 GES: Spiro 99,132 80,368 160,380 140,730 GES Exhibitions 180,977 154,534 356,817 324,031 GES intersegment eliminations ( 2,772 ) ( 3,065 ) ( 3,594 ) ( 4,796 ) Total GES 277,337 231,837 513,603 459,965 Total revenue $ 378,538 $ 320,311 $ 652,035 $ 581,102 Segment operating income (loss): Pursuit $ 12,638 $ 9,811 $ ( 11,193 ) $ ( 9,301 ) GES: Spiro 17,517 8,279 21,518 11,453 GES Exhibitions 23,282 15,354 34,639 25,764 Total GES 40,799 23,633 56,157 37,217 Total 53,437 33,444 44,964 27,916 Corporate eliminations (1) 16 16 32 32 Corporate activities ( 5,422 ) ( 3,511 ) ( 9,855 ) ( 6,676 ) Gain on sale of ON Services — ( 204 ) — ( 204 ) Interest expense, net ( 12,585 ) ( 12,356 ) ( 24,430 ) ( 24,605 ) Other expense, net ( 442 ) ( 448 ) ( 880 ) ( 979 ) Restructuring (charges) recoveries: Pursuit ( 1 ) ( 2 ) ( 1 ) ( 9 ) Spiro ( 148 ) ( 39 ) ( 190 ) ( 176 ) GES Exhibitions 974 ( 151 ) 900 ( 460 ) Income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes $ 35,829 $ 16,749 $ 10,540 $ ( 5,161 ) (1) Corporate eliminations represent the elimination of depreciation expense recorded by Pursuit associated with previously eliminated intercompany profit realized by GES for renovations to Pursuit’s Banff Gondola.

Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Event	Note 24. Subsequent Events Jasper Wildfires On July 22, 2024, Jasper National Park was closed and evacuated due to wildfire activity, and a wildfire entered the Jasper townsite on July 24, 2024. The Municipality of Jasper reported that about 70 % of the town, including homes, businesses, and hotels were untouched by fire. All of Pursuit’s hotels and attractions in the Jasper townsite, as well as our Pyramid Lake Lodge, Miette Mountain Cabins, and Maligne Lake Cruise were not reached by the wildfire and remain intact. Our known property losses have been limited to the Maligne Canyon Wilderness Kitchen, a restaurant and retail operation located about three miles outside the town of Jasper. The majority of the park, including the town of Jasper, remains closed as authorities continue work to control the fire and restore critical services to the Jasper townsite. Parks Canada communicated that they anticipate re-opening visitor services within Jasper National Park on September 3, 2024. We are currently working with our insurance carriers to determine the extent of potential recoveries from our policies. Assessment of the full value of the loss is ongoing. Jasper SkyTram On June 26, 2024, we entered into an agreement to acquire the Jasper SkyTram attraction in Jasper National Park. All conditions precedent to the closing of the Jasper SkyTram acquisition have yet to be satisfied and have been delayed to an unknown extent by the Jasper wildfires as noted above. FlyOver Canada Toronto During July 2019, we executed a facility lease with the intent of building a new FlyOver attraction, FlyOver Canada Toronto, at the base of the CN Tower in Toronto’s Entertainment District. We did not have control of the underlying assets and accordingly, we did not record the lease liability or ROU asset on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Effective August 6, 2024, this facility lease was terminated.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	Basis of Presentation The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP or United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for complete financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 1, 2024 (“2023 Form 10-K”). The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Viad and its subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany account balances and transactions in consolidation.
Nature of Business	Nature of Business We are a leading provider of extraordinary experiences, including hospitality and leisure activities, experiential marketing, and live events. We operate through three reportable segments: Pursuit, Spiro, and GES Exhibitions. Spiro and GES Exhibitions are both live event businesses and are referred to collectively as “GES.” Pursuit Pursuit is a collection of inspiring and unforgettable travel experiences that includes recreational attractions, hotels and lodges, food and beverage, retail, sightseeing, and ground transportation services. Pursuit comprises the Banff Jasper Collection, the Alaska Collection, the Glacier Park Collection, FlyOver, and Sky Lagoon. Spiro Spiro is an experiential marketing agency that partners with leading brands around the world to manage and elevate their global experiential marketing activities. GES Exhibitions GES Exhibitions is a global exhibition services company that partners with leading exhibition and conference organizers as a full-service provider of strategic and logistics solutions to manage the complexity of their shows.

Standard Description Date of adoption Effect on the financial statements Standards Recently Adopted ASU 2023-07 , Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures Amendment expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. 1/1/2024 This new guidance will expand our footnote disclosures within the scope of this new standard with no impacts to our consolidated financial statements. The required disclosures are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2024, and for interim periods beginning January 1, 2025.
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with United States GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment testing of recorded goodwill and intangible assets and long-lived assets; allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales reserve allowances; provisions for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets; liabilities for losses related to self-insured liability claims; liabilities for losses related to environmental remediation obligations; sublease income associated with restructuring liabilities; pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations; share-based compensation costs; the discount rates used to value lease obligations; the redemption value of redeemable noncontrolling interests; and the allocation of purchase price of acquired businesses. These estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions, global inflationary pressures, and volatility in foreign exchange rates. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash	Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash Cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less . Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank demand deposits. Restricted cash represents collateral required for surety bonds, bank guarantees, letters of credit, and corporate credit cards. Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consist of the following: June 30, December 31, (in thousands) 2024 2023 Cash and cash equivalents $ 59,381 $ 52,704 Restricted cash included in other current assets 3,006 6,325 Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows $ 62,387 $ 59,029
Revenue Recognition	Revenue Recognition Revenue is measured based on a specified amount of consideration in a contract with a customer, net of commissions paid to customers and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a product or delivering the service to a customer. Pursuit’s service revenue is derived through its admissions, accommodations, and transportation services. Product revenue is derived through food and beverage and retail sales. Revenue is recognized at the time services are performed or upon delivery of the product. Pursuit’s service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits, and product revenue is recognized at a point in time. GES’ service revenue is primarily derived through its comprehensive range of marketing, event production, and other related services to event organizers and corporate brand marketers. GES’ service revenue is earned over time over the duration of the live event, which generally lasts one to three days. Revenue for goods and services provided for which we do not have control of the goods or services before that good or service is transferred to a customer is recorded on a net basis to reflect only the fees received for arranging these services. GES’ product revenue is derived from the build of exhibits, environments, and graphics and is recognized at a point in time upon delivery of the product.
Noncontrolling Interests - Non-redeemable and Redeemable	Noncontrolling Interests – Non-redeemable and Redeemable Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. We report non-redeemable noncontrolling interest within stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to Viad and the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. We consider noncontrolling interests with redemption features that are not solely within our control to be redeemable noncontrolling interests. Our redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to our 56.4 % equity ownership interest in Esja Attractions ehf. (“Esja”), which owns the FlyOver Iceland attraction. The Esja shareholders agreement contains a put option that gives the minority Esja shareholders the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a calculated formula within a predefined term. This redeemable noncontrolling interest is considered mezzanine equity and we report it between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of the net income or loss attributable to redeemable noncontrolling interests is recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and the accretion of the redemption value is recorded as an adjustment to accumulated deficit and is included in our income (loss) per share. Refer to Note 22 – Noncontrolling Interests – Redeemable and Non-redeemable for additional information.
Convertible Preferred Stock	Convertible Preferred Stock We record shares of convertible preferred stock based on proceeds received net of costs on the date of issuance. Dividends paid-in-kind increase the redemption value of the preferred stock. Redeemable preferred stock (including preferred stock that features redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within our control) is classified as mezzanine equity and is reported between liabilities and stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Leases	Leases We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and classify leases as either finance or operating leases. The classification of the lease determines whether we recognize the lease expense on an effective interest method basis (finance lease) or on a straight-line basis (operating lease) over the lease term. In determining whether an agreement contains a lease, we consider if we have a right to control the use of the underlying asset during the lease term in exchange for an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities at commencement date, which is when the underlying asset is available for use to a lessee, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. Our operating and finance leases are primarily facility, equipment, and land leases. Our facility leases comprise mainly manufacturing facilities, sales and design facilities, offices, storage and/or warehouses, and truck marshaling yards for our GES business. These facility leases have lease terms ranging up to 34 years. Our equipment leases comprise mainly vehicles, hardware, and office equipment, each with various lease terms. Our land leases comprise mainly leases in Canada and Iceland on which our Pursuit hotels or attractions are located and have lease terms ranging up to 46 years. If a lease contains a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, then the lease term includes the optional periods in measuring a ROU asset and lease liability. We evaluate the reasonably certain threshold at lease commencement, and it is typically met if we identify substantial economic incentives or termination penalties. We do not include variable leases and variable non-lease components in the calculation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. For facility leases, variable lease costs include the costs of common area maintenance, taxes, and insurance for which we pay our lessors an estimate that is adjusted to actual expense on a quarterly or annual basis depending on the underlying contract terms. We expense these variable lease payments as incurred. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants. Substantially all of our lease agreements do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, and as such, we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on lease term and country in order to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a collateralized basis and is the expected rate at which we would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term and the country.
