TABLE OF CONTENTS
CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains statements that the Company believes are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements relating to expectations for future financial performance, business strategies or expectations for our business. These statements are based on the beliefs and assumptions of the management of the Company. Although the Company believes that its plans, intentions and expectations reflected in or suggested by these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it cannot provide assurance that it will achieve or realize these plans, intentions or expectations. These statements constitute projections, forecasts and forward-looking statements, and are not guarantees of future performance. Such statements can be identified by the fact that they do not relate strictly to historical or current facts. When used in this Quarterly Report, words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “forecast,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “possible,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “seek,” “should,” “strive,” “target,” “will,” “would” and similar expressions may identify forward-looking statements, but the absence of these words does not mean that a statement is not forward-looking.
You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Should one or more of a number of known and unknown risks and uncertainties materialize, or should any of our assumptions prove incorrect, the Company’s actual results or performance may be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. The following important factors, risks, and uncertainties could cause actual results to differ materially from those indicated by the forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report:
•We may not be able to sustain our growth, effectively manage our anticipated future growth, implement our business strategies or achieve the results we anticipate.
•The impairments of our intangible assets and equity method investments in our joint ventures have materially and adversely impacted our business and results of operations and may do so again in the future.
•Our current liquidity resources raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern and holders of our securities could suffer a total loss of their investment.
•We will require additional capital to support the growth of our business. This capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all, or if available may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders.
•Our FBD business is in transition, and the repositioning and rebranding of FBD projects will be subject to timing, budgeting and other risks which could have a material adverse effect on us.
•Our growth plans in FCG and FBB may take longer than anticipated or may not be successful.
•Our ability to execute on our strategy and business model is dependent on the quality of our services, and our failure to offer high quality services could have a material adverse effect on our sales and results of operations.
•Anticipated synergies across our three business lines may not create the diversified revenue streams that we believe they will.
•A significant portion of FCG’s and our revenue is derived from two large clients of FCG and any loss of, or decrease in services to, those clients could harm FCG’s and our results of operations.
•The timing of recognition of revenue from our contracted pipeline is difficult to predict with certainty and in some cases may extend over a number of fiscal years.
•Following the completion of the Strategic Investment (as defined below), the Company, Falcon’s Opco and FCG LLC are subject to contractual restrictions that may affect our ability to access the public markets and expand our business.
•Our development of new sources of revenue depends on development activities that expose us to project cost and completion risks.
•We operate in certain international regions that experience varying degrees of social, political, military, and economic instability. These conditions may include civil unrest, geopolitical tensions, armed conflicts, acts of terrorism, or other disruptions that could adversely affect our operations, supply chain, workforce, or the ability of customers and partners to conduct business with us. Any escalation of these risks in the countries where we operate could negatively impact our financial results, business continuity, and long term strategic objectives.
•We are exposed to risks related to operating in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
•Changes in foreign trade policies and tariff structures, as well as the potential impacts of legal challenges related to such policies, could adversely affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
•Our indebtedness and liabilities could limit the cash flow available for our operations, which may adversely affect our financial condition and future financial results. The principal, premium, if any, and interest payment obligations of such debt may restrict our future operations and impair our ability to invest in our businesses.
•The growth of our business depends upon our ability to source projects with new and existing customers and take such projects to completion.
•We may expand into new lines of business in our FBB and FBD divisions and may face risks associated with such expansion.
•We have entered and expect to continue to enter into joint venture, strategic collaborations, teaming and other business arrangements, and these activities involve risks and uncertainties. A failure of any such relationship could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
•If we are unable to hire, retain, train and motivate qualified personnel and senior management for our businesses and deploy our personnel and resources to meet customer demand around the world, our business could suffer.
•We are dependent on the continued contributions of our senior management and other key employees, and the loss of any of whom could adversely affect our business, operating results, and financial condition.
•Failures in, material damage to, or interruptions in our information technology systems, software or websites, and difficulties in updating our systems or software or implementing new systems or software could adversely affect our businesses or operations.
•Protection of electronically stored data and other cybersecurity is costly, and if our data or systems are materially compromised in spite of this protection, we may incur additional costs, lost opportunities, damage to our reputation, disruption of services or theft of our assets.
•Exchange rate fluctuations could result in significant foreign currency gains and losses and may adversely affect our business and operating results and financial condition.
•Our insurance may not be adequate to cover potential losses, liabilities and damages, the cost of insurance may continue to increase materially and we may not be able to secure insurance to cover all of our risks, all of which could have a material adverse effect on us.
•Theft of our intellectual property, including unauthorized exhibition of our content, may decrease our licensing, franchising and programming revenue which may adversely affect our business and profitability.
•We are a holding company and our only material assets are our interests in Falcon’s Opco and our other equity method investments. Accordingly, we are generally dependent upon distributions from Falcon’s Opco and our other equity method investments to pay taxes, make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and pay dividends.
•Under the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Company is required to make payments to the Company’s initial or current unitholders for certain tax benefits to which the Company may become entitled, and those payments may be substantial. Moreover, in certain cases, payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement may be accelerated and/or significantly exceed the actual benefits the Company realizes in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement.
•If Falcon’s Opco were to become a publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company and Falcon’s Opco might be subject to potentially significant tax inefficiencies, and the Company would not be able to recover payments previously made by it under the Tax Receivable Agreement even if the corresponding tax benefits were subsequently determined to have been unavailable due to such status.
•Adverse litigation judgments or settlements resulting from legal proceedings in which we may be involved in the normal course of our business could adversely affect our financial condition or results of operations.
•As a public reporting company, we are subject to rules and regulations established from time to time by the SEC and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to establish and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results or report them in a timely manner.
•We have identified material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting. If we are unable to remediate these material weaknesses, if management identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or if we otherwise fail to maintain effective internal controls over financial reporting, we may not be able to accurately or timely report our financial position or results of operations, which may adversely affect our business and stock price or cause our access to the capital markets to be impaired.
•There can be no assurance that we will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of Nasdaq.
•Our Warrants may be delisted from Nasdaq.
•The Demerau family controls over 45% of our voting power and is able to exert significant influence over stockholder decisions because of its share ownership.
•Cecil D. Magpuri, our Chief Executive Officer, controls over twenty percent of our voting power and is able to exert significant influence over the direction of our business.
•We may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of Oceaneering Engineering Services (“OES”) and our efforts to integrate OES and grow Falcon’s Attractions may disrupt our other operations.
•We may not be able to mitigate the risks related to legacy OES products and our ability to service such products and we may not be able to grow current and future potential customer relationships for OES products.
In addition, this Quarterly Report includes important information as to risks, uncertainties, and other factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. See “Note 7 – Commitments and contingencies” within Item 1 of this Quarterly Report and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” within Item 2 of this Quarterly Report. Additional important information as to these factors is included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“Annual Report”) in the sections titled Item 1, “Business”, Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” Item 3, “Legal Proceedings,” and Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report or, in the case of any document incorporated by reference, the date of that document. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law. Additional information as to factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements is disclosed from time to time in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

FALCON’S BEYOND GLOBAL, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)
1.Description of business and basis of presentation
Merger with FAST II
Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”, “FBG”, or the “Company”), entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 1, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pubco, FAST Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“FAST II”), Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Falcon’s Opco”), and Palm Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”).
On October 5, 2023 FAST II merged with and into Pubco (the “SPAC Merger”), with Pubco surviving as the sole owner of Merger Sub, followed by a contribution by Pubco of all of its cash (except for cash required to pay certain transaction expenses) to Merger Sub to effectuate the “UP-C” structure; and on October 6, 2023 Merger Sub merged with and into Falcon’s Opco (the “Acquisition Merger,” and collectively with the SPAC Merger, the “Business Combination”), with Falcon’s Opco as the surviving entity of such merger. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), the direct interests in Falcon’s Opco were held by Pubco and certain holders of the limited liability company units of Falcon’s Opco outstanding as of immediately prior to the Business Combination.
The Company recognized a transaction credit of $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 for the reversal of accrued transaction expenses related to the Business Combination. See "Note 7 – Commitments and contingencies" for additional discussion. The remaining transaction costs of $5.1 million are not yet settled as of March 31, 2026. Negotiations regarding the terms of the remaining costs yet to be settled are still ongoing and may change materially from the amounts accrued.
Nature of operations
The Company is a visionary entertainment and technology enterprise at the forefront of the global experience economy. We design, develop, engineer, deliver, and commercialize immersive physical and digital experiences for leading brands, developers, and destination operators worldwide, as well as for our own portfolio of entertainment and technology concepts. Our business is built on an integrated experience platform that brings together creative development, proprietary technologies, advanced engineering, intellectual property (“IP”), and operational execution to enable the repeatable creation, deployment, and scaling of entertainment experiences across multiple formats and locations globally. We operate through three complementary business divisions: Falcon’s Creative Group (“FCG”), Falcon’s Beyond Brands (“FBB”), and Falcon’s Beyond Destinations (“FBD”), each of which serves a distinct role within the Company’s operating model and participates in different stages of value creation within the experience economy. These divisions are conducted through five operating segments as of March 31, 2026. FCG provides creative and advisory services including destination strategy, master planning, experiential and attraction design, digital media, interactive software, IP development, and creative guardianship for entertainment and hospitality destinations. FBB, consisting of Falcon's Attractions and FBB-Other, encompasses a broad portfolio of intellectual property, proprietary technologies, and operating businesses that design, engineer, commercialize, and deploy entertainment systems, products, content, and experiences across physical and digital environments. FBD, consisting of Producciones de Parques, S.L., a joint venture between Falcon’s and Meliá Hotels International, S.A. (“Meliá”) (“PDP”), and Destinations Operations, develops, owns, operates, and expands entertainment venues, hospitality experiences, and branded destination concepts across a variety of location‑based formats, utilizing proprietary and third‑party intellectual property.
Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries for which it exercises control. Long-term investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The Company does not have any significant variable interest entities or special purpose entities whose financial results are not included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements of the Company’s operating foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been made. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP, with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026.
Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report.
Principles of consolidation
The non-controlling interest represents the membership interest in Falcon’s Opco held by holders other than the Company.
The results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and the non-controlling interest is reported as a separate component of equity.
The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of Falcon’s Opco and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Liquidity
The Company has continued to invest in initiatives focused primarily on expanding its Falcon's Beyond Brands division, including product development, talent acquisition, and selective strategic investments. These activities have contributed to continued operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. Accordingly, the Company performed an evaluation of its ability to continue as a going concern through at least twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
The Company’s development plans and associated working capital needs have been funded by a combination of debt and equity investments from its stockholders and the sale of non-core assets. The Company expects to continue utilizing a mix of these funding sources, including access to capital markets, additional financing arrangements, potential monetization of non-core investments, and expected distributions from PDP associated with the return of required withholding taxes from the sale of the Sol Tenerife Hotel in 2025 to support its ongoing growth strategy and working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $12.9 million, including short-term debt obligations of $9.3 million. The Company is actively evaluating refinancing and other alternatives with respect to these obligations.
Management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its obligations over the next twelve months is based on current liquidity levels and assumes the continued execution of its operating plan and certain financing and capital initiatives. While management believes these assumptions are reasonable, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions, together with the Company’s ongoing capital needs to support its growth initiatives and working capital requirements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to take active steps to strengthen its capital position and improve liquidity, including pursuing additional financing and evaluating strategic alternatives. While management believes these actions may enhance the Company’s financial flexibility, they do not change the conclusion that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that additional capital or financing, if obtained, will provide sufficient funding for the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
2.Summary of significant accounting policies
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 unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). 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 both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The Company had two customers with revenue greater than 10% of total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026. FBG had revenue from FCG of $1.9 million (36% of total revenue) and $1.6 million (95% of total revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Accounts receivable balances from FCG totaled $3.1 million (57% of total accounts receivable) and $2.4 million (64% of total accounts receivable) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Revenue from the second customer totaled $2.8 million (52% of total revenue) and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Accounts receivable balances from the second customer totaled $1.4 million (26% of total accounts receivable) and $0.8 million (22% of total accounts receivable) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Recently issued accounting standards
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," which introduces a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets. Under this expedient, entities may assume that conditions existing at the balance sheet date will persist for the remaining life of the asset, which simplifies the estimation process by eliminating the need to forecast future economic conditions for short-term assets. The Company adopted this ASU as of March 31, 2026 and elected to apply the practical expedient. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026‑01, "Initial Measurement of Paid‑in‑Kind Dividends on Equity‑Classified Preferred Stock." The amendments in this update standardize the initial measurement of paid‑in‑kind dividends on equity‑classified preferred stock and require such dividends to be initially measured based on the paid‑in‑kind dividend rate specified in the applicable preferred stock agreement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2026. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted as of March 31, 2026
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. Prospective application is required, but retrospective application may be applied. 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 facilitate 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.

4.Investments and advances to equity method investments
The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting. The Company’s joint ventures are as follows:
i)Falcon’s Creative Group
QIC Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an affiliate of QIC, holds 25% of FCG's equity interest in the form of preferred units (the "Strategic Investment"), and the Company, holds the remaining 75% of the equity interest in the form of common units. FCG's amended and restated limited liability company agreement (“LLCA”) includes QIC as a member and provides QIC with certain consent, priority and preemptive rights.
QIC is entitled to redeem its preferred units on the earlier of (a) the five-year anniversary of the Strategic Investment on July 27, 2028 or (b) any date on which a majority of key persons cease to be employed by FCG. The LLCA contains contractual provisions regarding the distribution of FCG’s income or loss. Pursuant to these provisions, QIC is entitled to a redemption amount of the initial $30.0 million investment plus a 9% annual compounding preferred return. QIC does not absorb losses from FCG that would cause its investment to drop below this redemption amount, and any losses not absorbed by QIC are fully allocated to the Company.
The Company and FCG are part of an intercompany service agreement (“Intercompany Services Agreement”) and a license agreement.
PDP is an unconsolidated joint venture with Meliá Hotels International, S.A. (“Meliá Group”) for the development and operation of hotel resorts and theme parks. The Company has 50% voting rights and shares 50% of profits and losses in this joint venture. PDP operates one hotel resort and theme park located in Mallorca, Spain. PDP operated a hotel located at Tenerife in the Canary Islands until the sale on May 30, 2025. In March 2026, the Company received a partial distribution from PDP of $1.7 million related to performance from the Mallorca property.
The Company has a 50% interest in Karnival, an unconsolidated joint venture with Raging Power Limited, a subsidiary of New World Development Company Limited (“Raging Power”). The purpose of the joint venture was to hold ownership interests in entities developing and operating amusement centers located in the People’s Republic of China. The Company has concluded that Karnival is a VIE, because the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Karnival, as such decisions are taken by the unanimous consent of the representatives of the joint venture partners. The Company, therefore, does not consolidate Karnival and accounts for the investment as an equity method investment. In October 2025, the Company and its joint venture partners agreed to terminate this project and windup the joint venture due to protracted delays in the underlying location development schedule. In March 2026, the Company received a partial distribution from Karnival in the amount of $1.5 million. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company received a second partial distribution from Karnival in the amount of $1.9 million.

7.Commitments and contingencies
Litigation
The Company is named from time to time as a party to lawsuits and other types of legal proceedings and claims in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for contingencies when it believes that a loss is probable and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies ("ASC 450"). As previously disclosed, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”) in which Guggenheim alleges that the Company owes certain fees and expenses of $11.1 million for services allegedly performed by Guggenheim in connection with the Business Combination consummated on October 6, 2023 (the “Guggenheim Complaint”). The Company has denied all liability. The Company filed counterclaims against Guggenheim for fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and equitable rescission. On March 31, 2026, the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”) heard oral arguments on each party’s motions for summary judgment. The Court denied the Company’s motion and granted Guggenheim’s motion in part; however, the Court allowed certain of the Company’s counterclaims to proceed. The Court denied Guggenheim’s motion for summary judgment on its claims and ordered that the matter would proceed to trial. The parties filed cross notices of appeal. In light of the order from the Court for the motions for summary judgment, management reevaluated its prior conclusion regarding the likelihood of loss associated with the Guggenheim matter. Based on the current procedural posture, including the Court’s findings and the viability of the Company’s counterclaims, management no longer believes that a loss related to Guggenheim’s claims is probable. Rather, the Company has concluded that the risk of loss is reasonably possible. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reversed the previously recorded accrual of $11.1 million associated with the alleged amended engagement agreement with Guggenheim. The reversal reflects management’s updated assessment that the recognition criteria for a loss contingency under ASC 450 are no longer met and as such, no accrual has been recorded as of March 31, 2026. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims alleged in the Guggenheim Complaint and contest the amounts Guggenheim asserts are owed, the ultimate outcome of this matter remains uncertain. Based on the current assessment that a loss is no longer probable, no estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made at this time, and an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period.
On July 29, 2025, the Company received a Summons to answer a Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (the "Motion”) from FAST Sponsor II LLC (“FAST”) in which FAST alleges that the Company owed FAST payment for principal, interest, and penalties of $9.1 million for two separate loans relating to the Company’s deSPAC transaction that closed in October, 2023. On September 29, 2025, the Company opposed the Motion, and FAST filed its reply in support of the Motion on October 9, 2025. The Company and FAST entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Release, dated as of November 26, 2025 pursuant to which the Company paid an upfront settlement payment of $2.5 million on December 1, 2025, and agreed to pay FAST a deferred settlement payment of $7.0 million on or before January 31, 2027 (the “Deferred Loan Settlement”). On February 20, 2026, the parties filed a Stipulation of Discontinuance and Order with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County and on February 28, 2026, the action was discontinued without prejudice pursuant to the parties’ stipulation.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain agreements that provide for indemnification by the Company of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, directors, officers, employees, and other parties with respect to certain matters. Indemnification includes losses from breach of such agreements, services provided by the Company, or third-party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnities may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future indemnification payments, in some circumstances, are not subject to a cap. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were no known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material indemnification liability.
Commitments
The Company has a commitment with KIDS Licensing LLC (“KIDS”) to develop venues themed with KIDS’s licensed trademarks and intellectual property. The Company is required to pay a minimum royalty fee of $0.1 million per year through 2032.
Prior to January 14, 2025, the warrants were classified as a liability and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The warrant agreement was amended effective January 14, 2025. The amendment provides for the mandatory exchange of the warrants for shares of Class A Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 0.25 shares of Class A Common Stock per warrant, on October 6, 2028. The warrants will not be exercisable and the holders of the warrants will have no further rights except to receive shares of Class A Common Stock on October 6, 2028.
The remaining warrants meet the requirements for equity classification after the amendment. The Company adjusted the fair value of the warrants a final time on January 14, 2025, immediately prior to the amendment effective date. The total adjusted liability balance was reclassified into equity on January 14, 2025. After the reclassification to equity, the warrants do not require subsequent fair value measurement.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there are 5,177,089 warrants outstanding which will be exchanged for 1,294,272 shares of Class A Common Stock on October 6, 2028.

10.Share-based compensation
The Company adopted a share-based compensation plan (the “Plan”) under which each vested Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one Class A Common Share. Under the Plan, RSUs with service-based conditions may be granted to directors, officers, employees, and non-employees. RSUs were granted to employees of both the Company and FCG. However, FCG fully reimburses FBG for the compensation cost associated with these grants. As such, expenses related to the RSUs granted to employees of FCG do not represent a purchase of services or contribution to FCG.
The RSUs do not provide the grantee with an option to choose settlement in cash or stock. The holder of the RSU shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect to the RSUs and any shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable under the Plan unless and until such shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder. The fair value of these RSUs is estimated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant using the closing price on the day of grant. A summary of the Plan’s RSUs award activity is as follows:

|
|

|
The RSUs under the Plan generally vest within one to five years following the date of grant.
Certain RSUs granted under the Plan on January 28, 2026 vest as follows: (1) 32.5% on the grant date; (2) 20% on November 1, 2026; (3) 22.5% on November 1, 2027; and (4) 25% on November 1, 2028. All other RSUs granted under the Plan on January 28, 2026 vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The $0.3 million and $0.2 million compensation cost for RSUs granted to FCG employees for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, are recognized as a reimbursement from FCG and do not impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, stock-based compensation expense not yet recognized relating to nonvested awards was $6.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of which $2.1 million and $2.3 million relates to compensation cost for RSUs granted to FCG employees, respectively. Stock compensation expense recognized by FCG is reimbursed to FBG.
The tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 were computed using the estimated effective tax rates applicable to the taxable jurisdictions for the full year. The Company’s tax rate is subject to management’s quarterly review and revision, as necessary. The Company’s effective tax rate was 0% for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company paid no income taxes for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Company records a provision or benefit for income taxes on pre-tax income or loss based on its estimated effective tax rate for the year. Given the Company’s uncertainty regarding future taxable income, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.
12.Tax receivable agreement
On October 6, 2023, the partners of Falcon’s Opco at the time of the Acquisition Merger (“Exchange TRA Holders”), along with the Company (collectively the “TRA Holders”) entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA Agreement”) with Falcon’s Opco that provides for the payment by Falcon’s Opco to the TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that it realizes, or in some circumstances, is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) future redemptions funded by Falcon’s Opco or exchanges, or deemed exchanges in certain circumstances, of common units of Falcon’s Opco for the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) or cash, and (ii) certain additional tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA Payment”). On October 24, 2024, the Company and Exchange TRA Holders entered into an Amendment to the Tax Receivable Agreement to clarify the rights of a TRA Holder that transfers units but does not assign the transferee its rights under the TRA Agreement with respect to such transferred units.
The Company has five reportable operating segments, FCG, Destinations Operations, PDP, Falcon's Attractions and FBB-Other. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers ("CODM") is its Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. Operating segments are organized based on product lines and, for our location-based entertainment, by geography. The CODM assesses the segments' performance by using each segment's income (loss) from operations, these results are used predominantly in the budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers segment results when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources. Segment income (loss) from operations include costs directly attributable to the segment including project design and build expenses, cost of product sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, and the share of gain (loss) from equity method investments excluding impairments. Unallocated corporate expenses which include accounting, audit, and professional services fees that support external reporting activities, are presented as a reconciling item between total segment income (loss) from operations and the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement results.
FCG provides creative and advisory services including destination strategy, master planning, experiential and attraction design, digital media, interactive software, IP development, and creative guardianship for entertainment and hospitality destinations. For the purpose of assessing financial performance and making resource allocation decisions, the CODM reviews full FCG results as if FCG was consolidated, instead of only the share of FCG's equity method gain. To reconcile total segment revenue to the Company's total consolidated revenue, FCG's segment revenue is eliminated. To reconcile Segment loss from operations to the Company's consolidated net income before taxes, FCG's Segment income from operations is eliminated and the Company's share of FCG's equity method loss is added.
PDP develops, owns and operates hotels, theme parks and retail, dining and entertainment venues. Destinations Operations provides development and management services for themed entertainment to PDP and develops, owns, operates, and expands entertainment venues, hospitality experiences, and branded destination concepts across a variety of location‑based formats, utilizing proprietary and third‑party intellectual property. The Company collectively refers to the Destinations Operations and PDP as Falcon’s Beyond Destinations.
Falcon's Attractions designs, engineers, manufactures, and sells proprietary and customized ride systems, attraction hardware, and related technologies for theme parks, location‑based entertainment venues, and destination developments worldwide. FBB-Other is utilized for the development and commercialization of Company owned and third-party intellectual property through consumer products and media.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.

Our business is built on an integrated experience platform that brings together creative development, proprietary technologies, advanced engineering, IP, and operational execution to enable the repeatable creation, deployment, and scaling of entertainment experiences across multiple formats and locations globally. We operate through three complementary business divisions: Falcon’s Creative Group (“FCG”), Falcon’s Beyond Brands (“FBB”), and Falcon’s Beyond Destinations (“FBD”), each of which serves a distinct role within our operating model and participates in different stages of value creation within the experience economy. These divisions are conducted through five operating segments. FCG provides creative and advisory services including destination strategy, master planning, experiential and attraction design, digital media, interactive software, IP development, and creative guardianship for entertainment and hospitality destinations. FBB, consisting of Falcon's Attractions and FBB-Other, encompasses a broad portfolio of intellectual property, proprietary technologies, and operating businesses that design, engineer, commercialize, and deploy entertainment systems, products, content, and experiences across physical and digital environments. FBD, consisting of Producciones de Parques, S.L. ("PDP"), a joint venture between Falcon’s and Meliá Hotels International, S.A. (“Meliá”), and Destinations Operations, develops, owns, operates, and expands entertainment venues, hospitality experiences, and branded destination concepts across a variety of location‑based formats, utilizing proprietary and third‑party intellectual property.
Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”, “FBG”, or the “Company”), entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 1, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pubco, FAST Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“FAST II”), Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Falcon’s Opco”), and Palm Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”).
On October 5, 2023 FAST II merged with and into Pubco (the “SPAC Merger”), with Pubco surviving as the sole owner of Merger Sub, followed by a contribution by Pubco of all of its cash (except for cash required to pay certain transaction expenses) to Merger Sub to effectuate the “UP-C” structure; and on October 6, 2023 Merger Sub merged with and into Falcon’s Opco (the “Acquisition Merger,” and collectively with the SPAC Merger, the “Business Combination”), with Falcon’s Opco as the surviving entity of such merger.
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). All amounts are shown in thousands of U.S. dollars unless otherwise stated.
The following reflects our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
Liquidity and Going Concern
We have continued to invest in initiatives focused primarily on expanding its Falcon's Beyond Brands division, including product development, talent acquisition, and selective strategic investments. These activities have contributed to continued operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. Accordingly, we performed an evaluation of its ability to continue as a going concern through at least twelve months from the date of the issuance of these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Our development plans and associated working capital needs have been funded by a combination of debt and equity investments from its stockholders and the sale of non-core assets. We expect to continue utilizing a mix of these funding sources, including access to capital markets, additional financing arrangements, potential monetization of non-core investments, and expected distributions from PDP associated with the return of required withholding taxes from the sale of the Sol Tenerife Hotel in 2025 to support its ongoing growth strategy and working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2026, we have a working capital deficiency of $12.9 million, including short-term debt obligations of $9.3 million. We are actively evaluating refinancing and other alternatives with respect to these obligations.
We assess our ability to meet obligations over the next twelve months based on current liquidity, assuming continued execution of our operating plan and financing and capital initiatives. While we believe these assumptions are reasonable, we have incurred recurring
operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions, together with our ongoing capital needs to support its growth initiatives and working capital requirements, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to take active steps to strengthen its capital position and improve liquidity, including pursuing additional financing and evaluating strategic alternatives. While management believes these actions may enhance our financial flexibility, they do not change the conclusion that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that additional capital or financing, if obtained, will provide sufficient funding for the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of us to continue as a going concern.

Revenue increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by new attractions contracts.
Project design and build expense
Project design and build expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by new attractions service contracts.
Cost of product sales
Cost of product sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by new attractions product sales.
Selling, general and administrative expense
Selling, general and administrative expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in payroll, payroll taxes, and benefits, professional fees, occupancy costs and marketing to support the continued expansion of the attraction services business.
Transaction expense (credit)
We recognized a transaction credit of $11.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 for the reversal of accrued transaction expenses related to the Business Combination. See "Note 7 – Commitments and contingencies" in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional discussion. We incurred $1.5 million of transaction expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to a proposed underwritten offering of our Class A common stock that was not completed.
Research and development expense
We incurred $0.1 million of research and development expense for the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to the development of a location based entertainment experience which was subsequently terminated in 2025 with no impact to the statement of operations for the corresponding period.
Depreciation and amortization expense
Depreciation and amortization expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by the May 2025 acquisition of Oceaneering Engineering Services ("OES").

Share of loss from equity method investments increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by:
•PDP: Share of net loss from PDP increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by the sale of the Sol Tenerife Hotel in the second quarter of 2025. Following the prior-year sale of the Sol Tenerife Hotel, which operated year-round and generated peak occupancy during the winter season, current-period results reflect the loss of its full-year contribution and the seasonal nature of the remaining property, which was closed for most of the first quarter. Accordingly, current-period results reflect expected seasonal fluctuations.
•Karnival: Share of net gain from Karnival decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by joint venture partner cash distributions and decrease in interest rates.
•FCG: We recognize 100% of net gain (loss), 9% preferred return to QIC and amortization of the basis difference on deconsolidation of FCG. See "Segment Reporting" below for further details.
Interest expense
Interest expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by decreases in both short and long-term debt resulting from principal payments made during the period and exchange of debt and accrued interest for shares of Series B Preferred Stock in the third quarter of 2025.
Change in fair value of warrant liability
As of March 31, 2025, all warrant liabilities were reclassified to equity and do not require subsequent fair value measurement. See Note 8 – Stock warrants in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Foreign exchange transaction gain (loss)
Foreign exchange transaction gain decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025. The change is primarily attributable to the decrease of the U.S. denominated related party debt with a Spanish subsidiary.

•FCG segment income increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily as a result of an increase in margins on certain current long-term contracts and gain on sale of land.

FCG revenues increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, as a result of the timing of certain contract performance obligations. As of March 31, 2026, the contracted pipeline for FCG was $29.2 million.
FCG project design and build expense increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by an increase in project revenues.
•Destinations Operations segment loss from operations decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily driven by decreased shared services allocations.
•PDP's share of segment loss increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, as a result of the sale of the resort hotel at Tenerife.
•Falcon's Attractions segment loss for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, remained consistent as a result of investment in the scaling of the segment's operations. Falcon's Attractions revenues, project design and build expense and cost of product sales increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, as a result of acquisition of OES in May 2025.
Reportable segment measures of profit and loss are earnings before interest, foreign exchange gains and losses, unallocated corporate expenses, impairments and depreciation and amortization expense. Results of operating segments include costs directly attributable to the segment including project costs, payroll and payroll-related expenses and overhead directly related to the business segment operations. Unallocated corporate overhead costs include costs related to accounting, audit, and corporate legal expenses. Unallocated corporate overhead costs are presented as a reconciling item between total income (loss) from reportable segments and our unaudited condensed consolidated financial results. For more information about our Segment Reporting, see Note 13 – Segment information in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We prepare our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition to disclosing financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we disclose information regarding Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss), determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the period presented, before net interest and expense, income tax (expense) benefit, depreciation and amortization, transaction expense (credit) related to the Business Combination and change in fair value of warrant liabilities.
We believe that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it eliminates the non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from our capital investments and intangible assets recognized in any business combination and improves comparability by eliminating the interest expense associated with our debt facilities and eliminating the change in fair value of warrant liabilities, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our structure.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are (i) it does not reflect our cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs, (iii) it does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on our debt, (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements, (v) it does not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in our statements of cash flows, and (vi) other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than we do, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
The presentation of non-GAAP financial measures is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP.
The following table sets forth reconciliations of net income (loss) under U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA for the following periods:

FCG prepares standalone consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition to disclosing FCG's standalone financial results prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we disclose information regarding FCG's standalone Adjusted EBITDA which is a non-GAAP measure. FCG defines Adjusted EBITDA as net income, determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for the period presented, before net interest and expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization and gain on sale of land.
FCG believes that Adjusted EBITDA is useful to investors as it eliminates the non-cash depreciation and amortization expense that results from FCG's capital investments and intangible assets recognized in any business combination and improves comparability by eliminating the interest expense associated with our debt facilities, which may not be comparable with other companies based on our structure.
Adjusted EBITDA has limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of FCG's standalone results as reported under U.S. GAAP. Some of these limitations are (i) it does not reflect FCG's cash expenditures, or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments, (ii) it does not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, FCG's working capital needs, (iii) it does not reflect interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary to service interest or principal payments, on FCG's debt, (iv) although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often have to be replaced in the future, and Adjusted EBITDA does not reflect any cash requirements for such replacements, (v) it does not adjust for all non-cash income or expense items that are reflected in FCG's statements of cash flows, and (vi) other companies in our industry may calculate these measures differently than FCG does, limiting their usefulness as comparative measures.
The following table sets forth reconciliations of net income (loss) for FCG under U.S. GAAP to Adjusted EBITDA for the following periods:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Liquidity
Liquidity describes the ability of a company to generate sufficient cash flows to meet the cash requirements of its business operations. Our primary short-term cash requirements are to fund working capital, short-term debt, acquisitions, contractual obligations and other commitments. Our medium-term to long-term cash requirements are to service and repay debt and to invest in facilities, equipment, technologies, location-based entertainment, media production and research and development for growth initiatives. Our principal sources of liquidity are funds from borrowings, equity contributions from our existing investors, distributions from equity method investees and cash on hand.
As of March 31, 2026, our total indebtedness was approximately $16.7 million. We had approximately $1.2 million of cash and $13.2 million available for borrowing under our lines of credit.
We anticipate managing our operations to ensure that our existing cash on hand and unused capacity on our existing lines of credit, along with distributions from equity method investees, additional debt and equity capital raises, and our portfolio of assets can provide additional liquidity over the next twelve months to meet our short-term needs. Management’s assessment of our ability to meet its obligations over the next twelve months is based on current liquidity levels and assumes the continued execution of its operating plan and certain financing and capital initiatives. While management believes these assumptions are reasonable, we have incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions, together with our ongoing capital needs to support its growth initiatives and working capital requirements, raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. We continue to take active steps to strengthen its capital position and improve liquidity, including pursuing additional financing and evaluating strategic alternatives. While management believes these actions may enhance our financial flexibility, they do not change the conclusion that substantial doubt exists about our ability to continue as a going concern.
As of March 31, 2026, we have a working capital deficiency of $12.9 million, including short-term debt obligations of $9.3 million. We are actively evaluating refinancing and other alternatives with respect to these obligations.
Our capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and extent of spending to support our research and development efforts, investments in technology, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and market adoption of new and enhanced products and features. In addition, we expect to incur additional costs as a result of operating as a public company. We expect our capital expenditures and working capital requirements to increase materially in the near future. Our ability to generate cash in the future depends on our financial results which are subject to general economic, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors that may be outside of our control. Our future access to, and the availability of credit on acceptable terms and conditions, is impacted by many factors, including capital market liquidity and overall economic conditions. In the event that additional financing is required from outside sources, we cannot be sure that any additional financing will be available to us on acceptable terms if at all. If we are unable to raise additional capital when desired, our business, operating results, and financial condition could be adversely affected. See the section of our Annual Report titled “Risk Factors – We will require additional capital, which additional financing may result in restrictions on our operations or substantial dilution to our stockholders, to support the growth of our business, and this capital might not be available on acceptable terms, if at all.”
Contractual and Other Obligations
Tax Receivable Agreement
In connection with the Closing of the Business Combination, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with Falcon’s Opco, the TRA holder representative, certain members of Falcon’s Opco (the “TRA Holders”) and other persons from time-to-time party thereto. Pursuant to the Tax Receivable Agreement, among other things, we are required to pay to each TRA Holder 85% of certain tax benefits, if any, that it realizes (or in certain cases is deemed to realize) as a result of the increases in tax basis resulting from any exchange of new Falcon’s Opco units for Class A Common Stock or cash in the future and certain other tax benefits arising from payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. In certain cases, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement may accelerate and become due and payable, based on certain assumptions, upon a change in control and certain other termination events, as defined in the Tax Receivable Agreement. On October 24, 2024, we and Exchange TRA Holders entered into an Amendment to the Tax Receivable Agreement to clarify the rights of a TRA Holder that transfers units but does not assign the transferee its rights under the TRA Agreement with respect to such transferred units.
Transaction costs
Transaction costs related to the Business Combination of $5.1 million are not yet settled as of March 31, 2026 and we are actively negotiating to settle them over the next 24 months. These transaction costs are recorded in accrued expenses. Negotiations regarding the terms of the costs yet to be settled are still ongoing and may change materially from these amounts accrued.
As previously disclosed in our Annual Report, on March 27, 2024, a lawsuit was filed against us by Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”) in which Guggenheim alleges that we owe certain fees and expenses of $11.1 million for services allegedly performed by Guggenheim in connection with the Business Combination consummated on October 6, 2023 (the “Guggenheim Complaint”). We have denied all liability. We filed counterclaims against Guggenheim for fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and equitable rescission. On March 31, 2026, the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”) heard oral arguments on each party’s motions for summary judgment. The Court denied our motion and granted Guggenheim’s motion in part; however, the Court allowed certain of our counterclaims to proceed. The Court denied Guggenheim’s motion for summary judgment on its claims and ordered that the matter would proceed to trial. The parties filed cross notices of appeal. In light of the order from the Court for the motions for summary judgment, management reevaluated its prior conclusion regarding the likelihood of loss associated with the Guggenheim matter. Based on the current procedural posture, including the Court’s findings and the viability of our counterclaims, management no longer believes that a loss related to Guggenheim’s claims is probable. Rather, we have concluded that the risk of loss is reasonably possible. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, we reversed the previously recorded accrual of $11.1 million associated with the alleged amended engagement agreement with Guggenheim. See "Note 7 – Commitments and contingencies" in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion.
Related Party Loans
We have two financing agreements with Infinite Acquisitions with a total outstanding balance of $7.3 million as of March 31, 2026.
We have a financing agreement with Katmandu Ventures, LLC (“Katmandu Ventures”) with a total outstanding balance of $0.6 million as of March 31, 2026. The loan was due on May 16, 2025 and we are in negotiations to amend the loan.
We have a financing agreement with Cecil and Marty Magpuri with an outstanding balance of $0.1 million as of March 31, 2026.
See "Note 6 – Long-term debt and borrowing arrangements" and "Note 14 – Related party transactions" in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Our cash flows used in operating activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, due to the continued investment in working capital for the growth of the Falcon's Attractions business, partially offset by a $1.7 million dividend distribution from PDP.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Net cash provided by investing activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily related to a $1.5 million dividend distribution from Karnival.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities increased for the three months ended March 31, 2026, compared to the same period in 2025, primarily related to net proceeds of $1.2 million of debt.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our critical accounting policies have not changed materially from those reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
This item is not applicable as we are a smaller reporting company.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”)) as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on such evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2026, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the identification of material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting.
Previously Reported Material Weaknesses
As previously disclosed in Part II Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, in connection with the preparation and audit of the 2023 consolidated financial statements, management concluded that material weaknesses existed in our internal control over financial reporting with respect to our Risk Assessment, Control Activities, Monitoring, Control Environment and Information and Communication. These material weaknesses continue to exist as of March 31, 2026.
Remediation Efforts
We are in the process of implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting and remediate the deficiencies that led to the material weaknesses discussed above. Our detailed remediation plans, which are currently in process, include the following actions:
•We have designed and implemented systems and controls to enable effective and timely review of period end close procedures and accounting review processes.
•We have engaged a third-party global consulting firm to enhance our review of significant accounting transactions and other new technical accounting and financial reporting issues and preparing and reviewing accounting memoranda. We have hired additional qualified accounting and financial reporting personnel to support the nature, growth and complexity of our business.
•We are in the process of designing and implementing controls and documentation of segregation of duties over information technology systems used to create or maintain financial reporting records.
In addition, as we continue to evaluate and work to improve our internal control over financial reporting, management may decide to take additional measures to address control deficiencies or determine to modify our remediation plan.
In light of the material weaknesses discussed above, we performed additional procedures to ensure that our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Following such additional procedures, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has concluded that our consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in this Quarterly Report, in conformity with U.S. GAAP.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Except as otherwise described herein, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) and 15d-15(d) of the Exchange Act that occurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2026 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is named from time to time as a party to lawsuits and other types of legal proceedings and claims in the normal course of business.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report, on March 27, 2024, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”) in which Guggenheim alleges that the Company owes certain fees and expenses of $11.1 million for services allegedly performed by Guggenheim in connection with the Business Combination consummated on October 6, 2023 (the “Guggenheim Complaint”). The Company has denied all liability. The Company filed counterclaims against Guggenheim for fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and equitable rescission. On March 31, 2026, the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”) heard oral arguments on each party’s motions for summary judgment. The Court denied the Company’s motion and granted Guggenheim’s motion in part; however, the Court allowed certain of the Company’s counterclaims to proceed. The Court denied Guggenheim’s motion for summary judgment on its claims and ordered that the matter would proceed to trial. The parties filed cross notices of appeal. In light of the order from the Court for the motions for summary judgment, management reevaluated its prior conclusion regarding the likelihood of loss associated with the Guggenheim matter. Based on the current procedural posture, including the Court’s findings and the viability of the Company’s counterclaims, management no longer believes that a loss related to Guggenheim’s claims is probable. Rather, the Company has concluded that the risk of loss is reasonably possible. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reversed the previously recorded accrual of $11.1 million associated with the alleged amended engagement agreement with Guggenheim. The reversal reflects management’s updated assessment that the recognition criteria for a loss contingency under ASC 450 are no longer met and as such, no accrual has been recorded as of March 31, 2026. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims alleged in the Guggenheim Complaint and contest the amounts Guggenheim asserts are owed, the ultimate outcome of this matter remains uncertain. Based on the current assessment that a loss is no longer probable, no estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made at this time, and an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period.
FAST Sponsor II Settlement
On February 20, 2026, the parties filed a Stipulation of Discontinuance and Order with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County and on February 28, 2026, the action was discontinued without prejudice pursuant to the parties’ stipulation. See “Note 7 – Commitments and contingencies – Litigation” for additional discussion.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
Factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those in this Quarterly Report are any of the risks described in our Annual Report. Any of these factors could result in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations. As of the date of this Quarterly Report, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in the Annual Report. We may disclose changes to such risk factors or disclose additional risk factors from time to time in our future filings with the SEC.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
On May 11, 2026, the Company entered into two Master Products and Services Agreements (the “VAI Agreements”) with VAI Amusement Park, LLC. Pursuant to the VAI Agreements, Falcon’s Attractions and its affiliates will provide the design, engineering, fabrication and installation of two separate dark ride vehicle systems. Each agreement is valued at approximately $9 million, with an aggregate value of approximately $18 million across both agreements. The VAI Agreements include milestone-based payment terms tied to the progress of these services, which are expected to occur over the respective project execution periods.
10b5-1 Trading Arrangements.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, none of our directors or officers adopted or terminated a “Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement” or “non-Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement,” as each term is defined in Item 408(a) of Regulation S-K.
