Falcon's Attractions, established in mid-2025 with the acquisition of the assets of Oceaneering Entertainment Systems ("OES"), ended the quarter with a contracted pipeline of $28.4 million.

Equity Method Investments

      of the prior year. FCG recorded operating income of $0.7 million and net 
      income was $0.4 million. After the Qiddiya Investment Company's ("QIC") 
      preferred return and amortization of basis difference, Falcon's share of 
      net loss from FCG was $1.2 million. FCG had a contracted pipeline of 
      $17.1 million as it closed out Q2 2026.

Use and Definition of Non-GAAP Financial Measure

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition to financial measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we present Adjusted EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) before interest expense, interest income, income taxes, depreciation and amortization, transaction-related credits, changes in the fair value of warrant liabilities, impairment charges, and certain gains or losses associated with equity method investments that are not considered indicative of our core operating performance.

Management believes Adjusted EBITDA provides useful supplemental information regarding the operating performance of our business by excluding the effects of financing decisions, capital structure, depreciation and amortization, and other items that may not be representative of ongoing operations. Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income (loss), operating income (loss), cash flows from operating activities, or other measures prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. A reconciliation of net income (loss), the most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure, to Adjusted EBITDA is included below.
