Forward Guidance

Vivid Seats anticipates Marketplace GOV, Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA for the year ending December 31, 2022 to be in the following ranges: Marketplace GOV in the range of $2.7 billion to $3.0 billion, Revenues in the range of $510.0 million to $550.0 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $110.0 million to $115.0 million

Positive Outlook

  • Marketplace GOV in the range of $2.7 billion to $3.0 billion
  • Revenues in the range of $510.0 million to $550.0 million
  • Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $110.0 million to $115.0 million
  • Additional detail around the 2022 outlook will be available on the fourth quarter 2021 earnings call.
  • We calculate forward-looking non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA based on internal forecasts that omit certain information that would be included in forward-looking GAAP net income (loss), the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Challenges Ahead

  • We do not attempt to provide a reconciliation of forward-looking non-GAAP Adjusted EBITDA guidance to forward-looking GAAP net income (loss) because forecasting the timing or amount of items that have not yet occurred and are out of our control is inherently uncertain and unavailable without unreasonable efforts.
