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 Qiddiya Investment Company (“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.

ii)
PDP

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 distribution from PDP of $1.7 million related to performance from the Mallorca property. Subsequent to June 30, 2026, the Company received a second distribution from PDP in the amount of $1.7 million.

iii)
Karnival

 

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 wind up 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. In April 2026, the Company received a second partial distribution from Karnival in the amount of $1.9 million. In June 2026, the Company received a third partial distribution from Karnival in the amount of $2.0 million, resulting in total distributions of $5.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026.
