(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 fiscal year ended December 31, 2024. Financial Highlights • Revenues of $398.8 million for 2024, an increase of $16.0 million, or 4.2%, over 2023, primarily due to organic revenue growth and revenues from acquisitions, offset by several discontinued events that were not contributing to profitability. • Organic Revenues, a non-GAAP measure, which takes into account the impact of acquisitions, scheduling adjustments and discontinued events, of $385.3 million for 2024, an increase of $21.3 million, or 5.9%, from $364.0 million for 2023 (Refer to Schedule 1 for a reconciliation to revenues, the most directly comparable GAAP measure). • Net income of $2.2 million for 2024, compared to net loss of $8.2 million for 2023. • Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP measure, of $101.7 million for 2024, compared to $97.8 million for 2023 (Refer to Schedule 3 for a reconciliation to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure) ; Increased Adjusted EBITDA excluding event cancellation insurance, a non-GAAP measure, of $100.2 million for 2024, by 5.5% as compared to $95.0 million in 2023 (Refer to Schedule 3 for a reconciliation to net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure). • Ended the year with $194.8 million in cash and full availability of its $110.0 million revolving credit facility. • For the full year 2025, the Company expects to generate $450 - 460 million of Revenue and $120-125 million of Adjusted EBITDA, which includes contribution of approximately $40 million to Revenue and approximately $15 million to Adjusted EBITDA from today's announced acquisitions. Operational and Capital Structure Updates • Emerald signed an agreement to acquire This is Beyond, a London-based luxury travel event business, and completed the acquisition of Insurtech Insights, a premier operator of large-scale insurance technology conferences across the US, Europe, and Asia, for an aggregate consideration of approximately $160 million. • On January 30, 2025, Emerald completed the refinancing and upsizing to $515 million of its First Lien Term Loan and extended the maturity date of its revolving credit facility. • The Company repurchased $8.4 million of its common stock in the fourth quarter at an average price of $4.68 per share. • On February 25, 2025, Emerald's Board of Directors declared a dividend for the quarter ending March 31, 2025 of $0.015 per share. Hervé Sedky, Emerald's President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “2024 was a transformative year for Emerald - one where we took decisive actions to strategically optimize our portfolio of live B2B events with precision and purpose. Each step has laid the groundwork for a stronger, more resilient future, driven by a diversified business mix and a foundation for sustained growth and profitability. Following quarter end, we signed an agreement to acquire This is Beyond, the London-based architect of world-class luxury travel B2B trade shows, and completed the acquisition of Insurtech Insights, a premier operator of large-scale insurance technology conferences across the US, Europe, and Asia. These strategic acquisitions expand and diversify our portfolio, reinforcing Emerald's leadership in high-value, growth-oriented industries while sharpening our competitive position. With each acquisition, and each expansion, we strengthen our market presence and deepen our impact. Emerald is committed to delivering unmatched value to our customers, who continue to find in-person experiences irreplaceable in their return on investment. Looking ahead, we remain committed to disciplined growth through strategic acquisitions and new event launches, positioning Emerald as the industry leader while creating lasting value for shareholders and the markets we serve.” David Doft, Emerald's Chief Financial Officer, added, “Our full-year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA results aligned closely with expectations as we managed through the effects of portfolio optimization and refocusing on high-value opportunities, while managing continued softness in our content business in 2024. Additionally, we took decisive steps to bolster financial flexibility, refinancing our term loan in January with a new, upsized $515 million senior secured term loan maturing in 2032 and extending the maturity of our senior secured revolving credit facility to 2030. With these strategic moves—combined with portfolio optimization and disciplined acquisitions—we are well-positioned for a solid year ahead. For 2025, we anticipate Revenue and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $450 million – $460 million and $120 million – $125 million, respectively, as we realize the benefits of recent portfolio moves. These strategic actions position Emerald as a more agile, resilient and profitable organization, laying the foundation for sustainable growth and long-term success.” Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2024 Financial Performance and Highlights Three Months Ended December 31, Year Ended December 31, Change % Change Change % Change (unaudited, dollars in millions, except percentages and per share data) Revenues Net income (loss) NM NM Net cash provided by operating activities Diluted income (loss) per share NM NM Non-GAAP measures: Adjusted EBITDA Adjusted EBITDA excluding event cancellation insurance proceeds Free Cash Flow Free cash flow excluding event cancellation insurance proceeds, net • Fourth quarter 2024 revenues were $106.8 million, an increase of $5.3 million or 5.2% versus the fourth quarter 2023, driven primarily by organic revenue growth of $6.1 million and $4.8 million in revenue from acquisitions, offset by scheduling adjustments of $3.7 million and prior year revenue of $1.9 million related to discontinued events that were not contributing to profitability.

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”). These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, and not as a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures enhance the reader's understanding of our past financial performance and our prospects for the future. The non-GAAP financial information is presented for supplemental informational purposes only and should not be considered a substitute for financial information presented in accordance with GAAP and may be different from similarly titled non-GAAP measures used by other companies. 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, statements regarding our ability to return our business to pre-COVID levels; general economic conditions, or more specifically about the markets in which we operate, including growth of our various markets, and our expectations, beliefs, plans, strategies, objectives, prospects, assumptions or future events or performance; the multiple avenues to return to organic growth; expectations regarding interest rates and economic conditions, among others; 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 are based on management's current expectations as well as estimates and assumptions prepared by management as of the date hereof, and although they are believed to be reasonable, they are inherently uncertain and not guaranteed. 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.
