Basis of Presentation

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements) were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these financial statements do not include all of the information required by GAAP or United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations for complete financial statements. These financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 25, 2026 (the “2025 Form 10-K”).

The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Pursuit and all of its majority-owned subsidiaries, and all significant intercompany account balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified in order to conform to current year presentation. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, include reclassifications of expense of $3.9 million and $7.4 million, respectively, from operating expenses (exclusive of depreciation and amortization shown separately below) to selling, general, and administrative expenses to conform to the Company’s current presentation.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue, costs, and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment testing of recorded goodwill, intangible assets, and long-lived assets; allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales reserve allowances; provision for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets; pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations; share-based compensation costs; the discount rates used to value lease obligations; the allocation of purchase price of acquired businesses; and the estimated purchase price of the Flyover Attractions, as defined below, less costs to sell. These estimates are inherently based on judgment and information currently available. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates. The Company believes the assumptions underlying these financial statements are reasonable.

Standards Not Yet Adopted

ASU 2024-03, Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses

 

The amendment requires additional disclosure in the notes to the financial statements about specified expense categories including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization.

 

January 1, 2027

 

This new guidance will expand the Company's footnote disclosures within the scope of this new standard with no impact to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2025-06, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software

 

The amendment updates the accounting guidance for costs incurred to develop or obtain software solely for internal use and costs incurred to implement cloud computing arrangements. Under current guidance, costs are accounted for based on distinct project stages, and that concept is removed under the ASU, which instead clarifies that eligible costs may be capitalized upon meeting specific capitalization thresholds and overcoming significant development uncertainty.

The Company is still in the process of evaluating what impact this new standard will have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements

 

The amendment creates a comprehensive list of interim disclosures required under U.S. GAAP and outlines a principle that requires disclosures at interim periods when an event or change that has a material effect has occurred since the previous year end.
