This is the event technology provider of choice at leading hotels, resorts and convention centers. The business model is based on long-term partnerships with these venues, which establish PSAV as the exclusive on-site provider of event technology services. Customers, including corporations, event organizers, trade associations and meeting planners, hire PSAV primarily through its on-site presence at venues to plan and execute their events.

The company has built a premier brand based on its comprehensive service offerings, strong track record of customer service, broad geographic footprint and on-site employee service model. The largest market is the United States.

In the filing, the company detailed its finances as follows:

Between 2011 and 2015, our revenue increased from $645.5 million to $1,487.2 million, Adjusted EBITDA increased from $53.4 million to $174.5 million and net loss improved from $19.0 million to $5.8 million. For the year ended December 31, 2015, our revenue of $1,487.2 million grew 17.7% versus the prior year. In this same period, our Adjusted EBITDA of $174.5 million represented 11.7% of revenue and 11.2% growth over the prior year.

PSAV intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to repay borrowings under its second lien credit facility and for general corporate purposes. Selling stockholders will be involved in the offering, and the company will not receive any proceeds from the sale of those shares.
