OR and Surf Expo Parent Narrows Q2 Loss on Flattish Revenue Decline

August 7, 2024

Emerald Holding, Inc., parent of the Overland Expo consumer show and the Outdoor Retailer and Surf Expo trade shows, posted revenues of $86.0 million for the second quarter of 2024, a decrease of 0.6 percent year-over-year. This decrease was said to be primarily due to several small, discontinued events that were not contributing to profitability and scheduling differences.

The company attributed the revenue decrease to prior-year discontinued event revenue of $3.7 million, which did not contribute to profitability and scheduling adjustments of $1.1 million, offset by organic growth of $2.6 million and $1.7 million in revenue from acquisitions. SGB Media
