During the second quarter of 2026, the Company identified triggering events indicating that the fair value of its Observatory reporting unit may have declined below its carrying amount, including goodwill, due to a sustained decline in visitor volume from a reduction in pass program performance and a continued decrease in international visitors. As a result of a
decline in the projected performance and expected future cash flows of the Observatory reporting unit, the Company engaged a third-party valuation consulting firm and performed an interim quantitative goodwill analysis as of June 30, 2026. The quantitative analysis used a discounted cash flow method (a form of the income approach) utilizing Level 3 unobservable inputs. Significant assumptions under the income approach included revenue and cost projections, weighted average cost of capital and long-term growth rate. As a result of the quantitative analysis, the carrying value of the Observatory reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeded its estimated fair value, and the Company recognized a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $166.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.
Although the Company does not currently anticipate significant changes in the assumptions used in the quantitative analysis, many of the assumptions underlying the estimated fair value of the Observatory reporting unit are inherently uncertain, are outside of our control, and actual results may differ materially from the Company’s estimates. The remaining goodwill relating to the Observatory reporting unit of $61.4 million remains at risk of future impairment if the fair value of the reporting unit decreases due to changes in the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, decreases in visitation in excess of expectations, an inability to execute management’s business strategies, or general market conditions, such as economic downturns and changes in interest rates, which may impact discount rates.
