Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company has prepared the estimates using the most current and best available information that are considered reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ materially from those estimates. Accounting policies subject to estimates include, but are not limited to, inputs used to recognize revenue over time, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in relation to a business combination, deferred tax valuation allowances, the valuation and impairment testing of goodwill and investments in equity method investments, and the valuation of warrant and earnout liabilities.

Business combinations

The Company utilizes the acquisition method of accounting under ASC 805, Business Combinations ("ASC 805"), for all transactions and events in which it obtains control over one or more other businesses (even if less than 100% ownership is acquired), to recognize the fair value of all assets and liabilities assumed and to establish the acquisition date fair value as of the measurement date.

While the Company uses its best estimates and assumptions as part of the purchase price allocation process to accurately value assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date, the estimates and assumptions are inherently uncertain and subject to refinement. As a result, during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date, the Company records adjustments to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, with the corresponding offset to goodwill or bargain purchase to the extent we identify adjustments to the preliminary fair values. For changes in the valuation of intangible assets between the preliminary and final purchase price allocation, the related amortization is adjusted in the period it occurs. Subsequent to the measurement period, any adjustment to assets acquired or liabilities assumed is included in operating results in the period in which the adjustment is determined. Transaction expenses that are incurred in connection with a business combination, other than costs associated with the issuance of debt or equity securities, are expensed as incurred.

Contingent consideration is classified as a liability or as equity on the basis of the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument; contingent consideration payable in cash is classified as a liability. The Company recognizes the fair value of any contingent consideration that is transferred to the seller in a business combination on the date at which control of the acquiree is obtained. Contingent consideration payments related to acquisitions are measured at fair value each reporting period using Level 3 unobservable inputs (as defined in the Fair value measurement policy below). When reported, any changes in the fair value of these contingent consideration payments are included in contingent earnout expense on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Revenue recognition

Based on the specific analysis of its contracts, the Company has determined that its contracts are subject to revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Recognition under the ASC 606 five-step model involves (i) identification of the contract, (ii) identification of performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the previously identified performance obligations, and (v) revenue recognition as the performance obligations are satisfied.

The timing of billings and cash collections result in contract assets and contract liabilities. Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer for which the right to payment is not subject to the passage of time and relate primarily to unbilled invoices for Attraction services and Product sales. Contract liabilities relate to payments received in advance of performance under a contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the Company performs under the contract.

The Company generates revenue from the following revenue streams: Shared services, Destinations operations, Attraction services, and Product sales.

Shared services

The Company provides corporate shared services support to FCG. The Company recognizes revenue related to these services in the amount the Company has a right to invoice. The Company uses the right to invoice practical expedient, as the Company’s right to payment corresponds directly with the value to FCG of the Company’s performance to date.

Destinations operations services

The principal sources of revenues for the Destinations Operations segment are resort and theme park management and incentive fees. Resort and theme park management and incentive fees are based on a percentage of revenues and profits, respectively earned by the theme parks during the corresponding period.

Attraction services

The Company's Falcon's Attractions segment provides attraction services to its customers on a time and material basis. The Company recognizes revenue related to these services using the right to invoice practical expedient.

Product sales

The Company recognizes revenue at the point in time when control transfers to the customer, thus satisfying the performance obligation.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes restricted cash held by the Company as required by the credit card arrangement.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable and Contract assets. The Company places its Cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit quality. At times, such amounts exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of the respective financial institutions.

The Company provides credit to its customers located both inside and outside the United States in its normal course of business. Receivables are presented net of an allowance for credit losses based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company maintains an allowance that provides for an adequate reserve to cover estimated losses on receivables as well as contract assets. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience and taking into consideration current market conditions and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company regularly evaluates receivable and contract asset balances considering factors such as the customer’s creditworthiness, historical payment experience and the age of the outstanding balance. Changes to expected credit losses during the period are included in Credit loss expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. After concluding that a reserved accounts receivable is no longer collectible, the Company reduces both the gross receivable and the allowance for credit losses. There was no allowance for credit losses as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

The Company had two customers with revenue greater than 10% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025. FBG had revenue from FCG of $6.6 million (45% of total revenue) and $6.2 million (93% of total revenue) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accounts receivable balances from FCG totaled $2.4 million (64% of total Accounts receivable) and $1.4 million (83% of total Accounts receivable) as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Revenue from the second customer totaled $4.1 million (28% of total revenue) and $0 for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. Accounts receivable balances from the second customer totaled $0.6 million (16% of total Accounts receivable) and $0 as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

Deferred transaction costs

The Company deferred $0.6 million transaction expenses related to a proposed underwritten offering of the Company's Class A common stock (the "Follow-on Offering") as of December 31, 2024, which had not been completed. In connection with the Follow-on Offering, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 was filed. Deferred transaction costs were included in Other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity were charged to operations during the year ended December 31, 2025 as the Follow-on Offering was not completed.

Investments and advances to equity method investments

The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in corporate joint ventures when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating decisions of the joint venture. Such investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our proportionate share of the net earnings or loss of the investee, which is reported in Share of gain (loss) from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Dividends received, if any, from these joint ventures reduce the carrying amount of our investment.

The Company monitors the equity method investments for impairment and records reductions in their carrying value if the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when such impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider our ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered.

Leases

The Company evaluates leases at the commencement of the lease to determine the classification as an operating or finance lease. A right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and corresponding lease liability are recorded at lease commencement. Operating lease liabilities are recognized based on the present value of minimum lease payments over the remaining expected lease term. Lease expenses related to operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis as a component of Selling, general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Expenditures that materially increase the life of the assets are capitalized. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When an item is retired or sold, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:


Equipment		3 – 5 years
Furniture		7 years
Leasehold improvements		Lesser of lease term or asset life

Intangible assets

The Company initially records its intangible assets at fair value. Definite lived intangible assets consist of developed technology, tradenames and trademarks and software rights which are located in the United States of America and are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

The Company reviews definite lived intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. Recoverability of these amortizing intangible assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to the carrying amount. If the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets, then the assets are written down to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, depending on the nature of the assets.

Recoverability of other long-lived assets

The Company’s other long-lived assets consist primarily of property and equipment and lease ROU assets located in the United States of America. The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. For property and equipment and lease ROU assets, the Company compares the estimated undiscounted cash flows generated by the asset or asset group to the current carrying value of the asset. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying value of the asset, then the asset is written down to fair value.

Earnout Liability

At the Closing of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, certain holders were entitled to receive up to a total of 1,937,500 and 75,562,500 contingent earnout shares (“Earnout Shares”) in the form of Class A and Class B common stock of the Company, respectively. The Earnout Shares were placed into an escrow account for the benefit of certain holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. See "Note 14 – Earnouts" for earnout modification.

Warrant liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants assumed in connection with the Business Combination (see "Note 1 – Description of business and basis of presentation") in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants that do not meet the criteria for equity treatment are recorded as liabilities. Prior to January 14, 2025, the Company classified the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusted the warrants to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company remeasured the fair value of the warrants based on the quoted market price of the warrants. The liability was subject to re-measurement at each Balance Sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. See "Note 15 – Stock warrants" for earnout modification.

Fair value measurement

The Company accounts for certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity-specific information for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.


Level 1	—	Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2	—	Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3	—	Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

Fair value focuses on an exit price and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risk inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risks. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those financial instruments.

The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivables, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

Net income per share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Class A common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to Class A common stockholders, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities, to the extent their inclusion is dilutive to earnings per share.

The Company applies the treasury stock method to the Warrants and RSUs, the contingently issuable shares method to the Earnout shares, and the if-converted method for the exchangeable noncontrolling interests, if dilutive.

On September 8, 2025, the Company issued convertible Series B Preferred Stock. The convertible Series B Preferred Stock receives dividends and participates in earnings alongside common stockholders and is therefore classified as a participating security. For basic earnings per share, the Company applies the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net income is reduced by the preferred dividends and earnings allocated to participating securities. Further, because the Series B Preferred Stock is convertible into Class A common stock, it also represents a potential common share for diluted EPS. For participating securities that are convertible into common stock, the Company calculates the diluted earnings per share using the more dilutive of the two-class method and the if-converted method.

Incentive Award Plan

The Company maintains the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) under which the Company issued grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) on December 21, 2023, to officers, directors, employees, and non-employees that vest according to a five-year graded vesting schedule where portions of the award vest at different times during the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the RSUs in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period for the entire award, as long as the participant continues to provide service to the Company. The RSUs are settled in equity and do not grant the Company the ability to settle in cash or transfer other assets. The compensation expense related to the RSUs is based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date using the closing share price. Furthermore, the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur and will reverse any compensation expense previously recognized in the period of forfeiture. The Company initially reserved 1,127,196 shares of its Class A Common Stock for the issuance of awards under the Plan.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll, payroll taxes and benefits for non-project related employee salaries, share-based compensation, taxes, and benefits as well as technology infrastructure, marketing, occupancy, finance and accounting, legal, human resources, and corporate overhead expenses.

Transaction (credit) expenses

Transaction expenses are stated separately in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Transaction expenses include professional services expenditures directly related to business combinations, other investments, and disposals of other assets and liabilities that qualify as a business. The Company recognized a credit of $3.6 million for year ended December 31, 2025 as a result of a reduction in accrued transaction expenses due to a negotiated settlement with the service provider. The Company also recognized $1.9 million in transaction expenses for the year ended December 31, 2025 related to a proposed underwritten offering of the Company's Class A common stock during the first quarter in 2025 that was not completed.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses primarily consist of related party vendor costs involved in research and development activities related to the development of new products. Research and development expenses are expensed in the period incurred.

Translation of foreign currencies

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The Company translates assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar using the applicable exchange rate as of the consolidated balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows at the average exchange rates during the corresponding reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of these foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income. Transactional gains and losses and the re-measurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities held in non-functional currency of the underlying entity are included in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, respectively.

Income taxes

The Company is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes, the Company is allocated local and foreign income taxes from taxable income generated by Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC. Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes except for certain consolidated subsidiaries that are subject to taxation in foreign jurisdictions as a result of their entity classification for tax reporting purposes.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets (“DTA”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTL”) for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines DTAs and DTLs on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes DTAs to the extent that it is believed that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If determined that FBG would be able to realize DTAs in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, FBG would make an adjustment to the DTA valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

At each balance sheet date, management assesses the need to establish a valuation allowance that reduces deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance would be based on all available information including the Company’s assessment of uncertain tax positions and projections of future taxable income and capital gains from each tax-paying component in each jurisdiction, principally derived from business plans and available tax planning strategies.

FBG records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) on the basis of a two-step process. The Company will determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical

merits of the position and for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, FBG recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense.

Related party transactions

Related parties are comprised of parties which have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, and parties under common control. Transactions where there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties are disclosed or referenced in "Note 23 – Related party transactions."

Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts in these consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

Recently issued accounting standards

In March 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2024-02, “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements.” The amendments in this ASU affect a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. This ASU contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU as of March 31, 2025 and it had no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures", which is primarily applicable to public companies and requires a significant expansion of the granularity of the income tax rate reconciliation as well as an expansion of other income tax disclosures. The amendments in this ASU require a company to disclose specific income tax categories within the rate reconciliation table and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. There are also additional disclosures related to income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdictions, and to income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024 and for interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2025 and it had no material impact to its income tax disclosures, financial condition or results of operations.

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted as of December 31, 2025

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)." The amendments in this ASU require a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. Relevant expense categories include, but are not limited to, employee compensation, selling expenses, intangible asset amortization, depreciation, and purchases of inventory. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, is applied prospectively and may be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets." The amendments in this ASU provide a practical expedient related to the estimation of expected credit losses for current accounts receivable and current contract assets that arise from transactions accounted for under ASC 606. Under this ASU, an entity is required to disclose whether it has elected to use the practical expedient. An entity that makes the accounting policy election is required to disclose the date through which subsequent cash collections are evaluated. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements." The amendments in this ASU clarify interim disclosure requirements and their applicability. This ASU results in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by U.S. GAAP. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, "Codification Improvements." The amendments in this ASU facilitates updates for a broad range of topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of U.S. GAAP, clarifications, and other minor

improvements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.
