Emerald Holding Inc Q1 2022 Earnings Call Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Annick Tonie Maas - BNP Paribas Exane, Research Division - Analyst : My first question is on the shows that you've held already so far and where rebooking is available. Can you maybe give us an indication of what sort of price levels or price upgrade you can push through? And my second question is, I think you suggested that 25% of the shows this year will exceed pre-pandemic levels. Can you maybe give us a bit more indication around which sectors these acquisitions will do? And finally, can you just comment on how the visibility has changed since the start of the year.

Question: Annick Tonie Maas - BNP Paribas Exane, Research Division - Analyst : Great. And just on the visibility for this that you compare now versus the start of the year. Can you maybe give us little bit of indication, the visibility has improved quite significantly or is similar to what you've seen at the start of the year?

Question: Saim Saeed - Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG, Research Division - Analyst : My first 1 is just quite simple. Over Q1, could you give us an indication for shows which had a prepandemic version? What exactly is your average recovery rate you're seeing in or revenue terms or in exhibitor terms? My second question is, again, focusing on inflation. Could you just help us understand how it's impacting shows on the cost side in terms of venue costs. And whether there are any particular industries where the impact of inflation is most noticeable, I'm guessing that might be sort of supply chain impacted one? And finally, in terms of M&A within the space, would you say that sellers of shows are measuring the price they would sell these shows against 2019 numbers? Are there other metrics they're using? And it also just be very helpful to understand how multiples have trended since the end of the pandemic.
