Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
As of and for the three Months Ended March 31, 2026
NOTE 1 – DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SEGMENT REPORTING
Our Company
Reading International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“RDI” and collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries and corporate predecessors, the “Company,” “Reading,” and “we,” “us,” or “our”) was incorporated in 1999. Our businesses consist primarily of:
the development, ownership, and operation of cinemas in the United States, Australia, and New Zealand; and
the development, ownership, operation and/or rental of retail, commercial and live venue real estate assets in Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.
NOTE 2 – LIQUIDITY AND IMPAIRMENT ASSESSMENT
Going Concern
We continue to evaluate the going concern assertion required by ASC 205-40 Going Concern as it relates to our Company. The evaluation of the going concern assertion involves considering whether it is probable that our Company has sufficient resources, as at the issue date of the financial statements, to meet its obligations as they fall due for twelve months following the issue date. Should it be probable that there are not sufficient resources, we must develop plans to overcome that shortfall. We must then determine whether it is probable that our plans will be effectively implemented and will mitigate the consequential going concern substantial doubt.
We have $35.5 million of debt due in twelve months, cash of $5.5 million and negative working capital of $86.1 million. As a result, we have developed a plan to address and overcome the going concern uncertainty. Our plan is informed by current liquidity positions, debt obligations, our beliefs about the marketability of certain real estate properties, our beliefs about the recovery of the global cinema industry, cash flow estimates, known capital and other expenditure requirements and commitments and our current business plan and strategies. Our Company’s business plan - two businesses (real estate and cinema) in three countries (Australia, New Zealand and the U.S.) - has served us well historically and is key to management’s overall evaluation of ASC 205-40 Going Concern.
While we believe that, with an increase in the quantity and quality of films being released to cinemas compared to pre-pandemic levels, patronage and operating revenue levels will improve, we have no control over attendance levels and no assurances can be given as to the nature of the reception of future movies by the movie-going public.
We continue the process of refinancing and/or extending certain loans, as further discussed in Note 13 Borrowings. In summary, we have extended the maturity dates on, or otherwise amended, the following facilities:
-Bank of America $6.0 million (matures September 18, 2026)
-Valley National $19.7 million (matures October 1, 2026)
-Emerald Creek $46.1 million (matures November 6, 2026 with options to extend to November 2027)
-NAB $64.6 million (matures July 31, 2030)
Moreover, we intend to raise the liquidity necessary for the next twelve months from refinancings and real estate asset monetization. Management has been authorized to pursue such actions where necessary. In February 2026 we began the process of monetizing our Cinemas 1,2,3 property. We believe we have more than sufficient marketable real estate assets that can be monetized on a timely basis and at the values required to meet our funding needs over the next twelve months. Having sold nine property assets with combined proceeds of $197.5 million since 2021, we believe in our ability to complete the monetization of our Cinemas 1,2,3 property.
In conclusion, as of the date of issuance of these financial statements, based on our evaluation of ASC 205-40 Going Concern and the current conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, and our various plans for enhancing liquidity and the extent to which those plans are progressing, we conclude that our plan to raise sufficient liquidity primarily through certain real estate asset monetizations to the extent needed is probable of being implemented to the extent required such that this alleviates the substantial doubt about our Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
Impairment Considerations
Our Company considers that the events and factors described above constitute impairment indicators under ASC 360 Property, Plant and Equipment. At December 31, 2025, our Company performed a quantitative recoverability test of the carrying values of all its asset groups. Our Company estimated the undiscounted future cash flows expected to result from the use of these asset groups and found that no impairment charge was necessary. The three months ended March 31, 2026, produced higher revenues and operating income compared to the same period in 2025, and we believe that this improved performance at an asset group level will continue throughout the remainder of 2026. As a result, we recordedno impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026. Actual performance against our forecasts is dependent on several variables and conditions, many of which are subject to the uncertainties associated with among other things, the factors presented above, and as a result, actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates.
Our Company also considers that the events and factors described above continue to constitute impairment indicators under ASC 350 Intangibles – Goodwill and Other. Our Company performed a quantitative goodwill impairment test and determined that our goodwill was not impaired as of December 31, 2025. The test was performed at a reporting unit level by comparing each reporting unit’s carrying value, including goodwill, to its fair value. The fair value of each reporting unit was assessed using a discounted cash flow model based on the budgetary revisions performed by management in response to the developing market conditions. No impairment charges were recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2026. Actual performance against our forecasts is dependent on several variables and conditions, including among other things, the factors presented above, and as a result, actual results may materially differ from management’s estimates.
NOTE 3 – SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries as well as majority-owned subsidiaries that our Company controls and should be read in conjunction with our Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“2025 Form 10-K”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. These condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim reporting with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As such, they do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. We believe that we have included all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period.
Operating results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2026.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto. Significant estimates include (i) projections we make regarding the recoverability and impairment of our assets (including goodwill and intangibles), (ii) valuations of our derivative instruments, (iii) recoverability of our deferred tax assets, (iv) estimation of breakage and redemption experience rates, which drive how we recognize breakage on our gift card and gift certificates, and revenue from our customer loyalty programs, and (v) estimation of our Incremental Borrowing Rate (“IBR”) as relates to the valuation of our right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Actual results may differ from those estimates.
Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Adopted:
ASU 2023-07 Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures
On December 16, 2024, we adopted ASU 2023-07: Segment Reporting: Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures(“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 expands the disclosures required by public entities for reportable segments. Adoption of ASU 2023-07 has had no material effect on ourcondensed consolidated financial statements from a recognition and measurement perspective, and has not altered our reportable segments, but has enhanced our disclosure of certain expenses and profitability measurement.
ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures
Effective for the year ended December 31, 2025, we adopted ASU 2023-09 Income Taxes: Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The amendments in ASU 2023-09 require entities to disclose on an annual basis (i) specific categories in the rate reconciliation and (ii) provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. The amendments also require that entities disclose various information about income taxes paid and (i) income (or loss) from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) disaggregated between domestic and (ii) foreign and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations disaggregated by federal (national), state, and foreign. Adoption of ASU 2023-09 has had no material effect on ourcondensed consolidated financial statements from a recognition and measurement perspective, but has enhanced our disclosure of certain income tax matters.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270) Narrow-Scope Improvements (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments in ASU 2025-11 clarify interim disclosure requirements and the applicability of Topic 270. The amendments in ASU 2025-11 also include a disclosure principle that requires entities to disclose events since the end of the last annual reporting period that have a material impact on the entity. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim reporting periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this new standard on ourcondensed consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
NOTE 4 – SEGMENT REPORTING
We report information about operating segments in accordance with ASC 280-10 Segment Reporting, which requires financial information to be reported based on the way management organizes segments with a company for making operating decisions and evaluating performance. We have organized our business intotwo reportable segments, being cinema exhibition and real estate.
Our cinema exhibition segment aggregates all our cinemas, both leased and owned, across the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Each of our cinemas earns revenue through the sale of movie tickets, food and beverage, screen advertising, theatre rentals, merchandise, gift card and loyalty membership, and other ancillary sales. The segment also earns revenue through service fees related to online ticket sales. Expenses are incurred through film rent, wages and salaries, food and beverage costs, occupancy costs, utilities, and other ancillary costs. We further organize this segment by geography, as while all our cinemas are engaged in substantially the same business activities, each geography is subject to its own unique regulatory and business conditions.
Our real estate segment aggregates all our retail, commercial and live theatre real estate assets across Australia, New Zealand, and the United States. Our retail and commercial real estate assets earn revenue through the leasing or licensing of space to third party tenants.
Our live theatre assets in the United States earn revenue through leasing or licensing space to third party production companies, an activity we consider sufficiently similar to our broader real estate base to support inclusion in our real estate segment. Our live theatre operations also earn revenue by providing front of house and box office services and through concession sale of food and beverage. All of our real estate assets incur expenses from property maintenance, utilities, taxes, and other costs of maintaining real estate and in some cases third party property management.
Each of these segments has discrete and separate financial information and for which operating results are evaluated regularly by our President, Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors, the chief operating decision-maker (“CODM”) of the Company. The CODM is responsible for the allocation of resources to, and the assessment of the performance of, our operating segments. The CODM determines, among other things:
-the execution, renewal or termination of cinema leases
-the execution, renewal or termination of third-party tenant leases
-significant capital expenditures
-internal resource allocation
-operational budgets.
Segment operating income is a key measure of profit or loss used by the CODM to assess segment performance and allocate resources. Segment operating income includes certain amounts charged by our real estate segment to our cinema exhibition segment where a cinema is a tenant of the real estate segment. These charges are eliminated for condensed consolidated financial statement purposes in the consolidated statement of operations, but are presented gross to the CODM.
The tables below summarize the results of operations for each of our business segments, presenting a reconciliation of segment revenue to operating segment income, and the impact of inter-segment transactions.

NOTE 5 – OPERATIONS IN FOREIGN CURRENCY
We have significant assets in Australia and New Zealand. Historically, we have conducted our Australian and New Zealand operations (collectively “foreign operations”) on a self-funding basis, where we use cash flows generated by our foreign operations to pay for the expenses of those foreign operations. However, in recent periods, cash flows from our overseas operations have been used to cover our domestic general and administrative costs, interest expense, and losses from our U.S. cinema operations. Our Australian and New Zealand assets and liabilities are translated from their functional currencies of Australian dollar (“AU$”) and New Zealand dollar (“NZ$”), respectively, to the U.S. dollar based on the exchange rate as of March 31, 2026. The carrying value of the assets and liabilities of our foreign operations fluctuates as a result of changes in the exchange rates between the functional currencies of the foreign operations and the U.S. dollar. The translation adjustments are accumulated in the Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
We take a global view of our financial resources and are flexible in making use of resources between jurisdictions.
Presented in the table below are the currency exchange rates for Australia and New Zealand:

NOTE 6 – EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to our Company by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income attributable to our Company by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period and is calculated using the treasury stock method for equity-based compensation awards.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted EPS and a reconciliation of the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding:

| Diluted earnings (loss) per share | $(0.36) | $(0.21) |
| Awards excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share | 3,949,445 | 1,707,412 |
Our weighted average number of shares of common stock - basic increased, primarily as a result of the vesting of restricted stock units. We didnot repurchase any shares of Class A Common Stock during the first three months of 2026 or 2025.
Outstanding awards of 3,949,445 shares for the period ended March 31, 2026 and 1,707,412 shares for the period ended March 31, 2025 were excluded from the computation of dilutive shares, as they were anti-dilutive because of the net loss from continuing operations.

In order to support our liquidity, we have monetized certain of our real estate holdings. Details of those monetizations for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and the year ended December 31, 2025, are provided below.
Wellington, New Zealand property assets
On January 31, 2025, we sold our property assets in Wellington, New Zealand, including Courtenay Central, Tory Street car park and Wakefield Street car park, at a gross sale price of $21.5 million (NZ$38.0 million) The proceeds were used to pay off the Westpac mortgage on the property, and to reduce our Bank of America debt. We have an Agreement to Lease the cinema portion from the Purchaser, which is expected to commence upon the completion of seismic upgrade work by the Landlord and cinema fit-out work by ourselves.
The gain on sale of this property was calculated as follows:
| (Dollars in thousands) | 2025 |

Disposal Groups Held for Sale
Cinemas 1,2,3, Manhattan
In February 2026 we classified our Cinemas 1,2,3 property as held for sale at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to sell. No adjustments to the book value, as opposed to fair value, of $24.0 million of the assets contained within the disposal group were required, which consists of the Cinemas 1,2,3 building and related improvements. We expect to complete the monetization of this property within 12 months.
Newberry Yard, Williamsport, Pennsylvania
In June 2023, we classified our industrial property at Newberry Yard, Williamsport, Pennsylvania, as held for sale at the lower of cost and fair value less costs to sell. The property is part of our historic railroad operations, consisting of land and an industrial building, and certain rail bed improvements. No adjustments to the book value of the assets contained within this disposal group were required. Sales efforts continue, and the property continues to meet the ASC 360 held for sale criteria.
Real Estate Acquisitions
Sutton Hill Associates
On December 19, 2025, we purchased Sutton Hill Associates, a California general partnership. As a consequence of that transaction (i) we took on $13.6 million in long term debt owed by Sutton Hill Associates to a third party, and (ii) short term payables in the amount of $7.1 million owed by our Company to certain Sutton Hill Associates subsidiaries were eliminated on consolidation. The long term debt was recorded on our balance sheet at a fair value of $7.6 million, reflecting the fact that the debt has a term maturing on September 30, 2035, with no interim payments of principal, is unsecured and bears interest at only 4.75% per annum payable quarterly in arrears.
Note 8 – Leases
In all leases, whether we are the lessor or lessee, we define lease term as the non-cancellable term of the lease plus any renewals covered by renewal options that are reasonably certain of exercise based on our assessment of economic factors relevant to the lessee. The non-cancellable term of the lease commences on the date the lessor makes the underlying property in the lease available to the lessee, irrespective of when lease payments begin under the contract.
As Lessee
We have operating leases for certain cinemas, and finance leases for certain equipment assets. Our leases have remaining lease terms of 1 to 25 years, with certain leases having options to extend up to a further 20 years. Lease payments for our cinema operating leases consist of fixed base rent, and for certain leases, variable lease payments consisting of contracted percentages of revenue, changes in the relevant CPI, and/or other contracted financial metrics.

As Lessor
We have entered into various leases as a lessor for our owned real estate properties. These leases vary in length between 1 and 12 years, with certain leases containing options to extend at the behest of the applicable tenants. Lease components consist of fixed base rent, and for certain leases, variable lease payments consisting of contracted percentages of revenue, changes in the relevant CPI, and/or other contracted financial metrics. None of our leases grant any right to the tenant to purchase the underlying asset.

Our Company is required to test goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment on an annual basis and, if current events or circumstances require them, on an interim basis. Our next annual evaluation of goodwill and other intangible assets is scheduled during the fourth quarter of 2026. To test the impairment of goodwill, our Company compares the fair value of each reporting unit to its carrying amount, including the goodwill, to determine if there is potential goodwill impairment. A reporting unit is generally one level below the operating segment. As of March 31, 2026, we were not aware that any events indicating potential impairment of goodwill had occurred outside of those described at Note 2 – Liquidity and Impairment Assessment.
The tables below summarize intangible assets other than goodwill, as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, respectively.

Note 16 – Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation Matters
We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings, and we may from time to time, in the normal course of business, be a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors, landlords, tenants, employees and competitors and to other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from the action is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point in the range is more probable than another. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of the matters discussed below, individually and in the aggregate, will not likely have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operation in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. An unfavorable outcome could also have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or the market prices of the Company’s securities.
Environmental and Asbestos Claims on Reading Legacy Operations
Certain of our subsidiaries were historically involved in railroad operations, coal mining, and manufacturing. Certain of these subsidiaries appear in the chain-of-title of properties that may suffer from environmental issues. Accordingly, certain of these subsidiaries have, from time to time, been named in and may in the future be named in various actions brought under applicable environmental laws. We are in the real estate development business and may encounter from time-to-time environmental conditions at properties that we have acquired for development and which will need to be addressed in the future as part of the development process. These environmental conditions can increase the cost of such projects and adversely affect the value and potential for profit of such projects. We do not currently believe that our exposure under applicable environmental laws is material in amount.
From time to time, there are claims brought against us relating to the exposure of former employees to asbestos and/or coal dust. These are generally covered by an insurance settlement reached in September 1990 with our insurance providers. However, this insurance settlement does not cover litigation by people who were not employees of our historic railroad operations and who may claim direct or second-hand exposure to asbestos, coal dust and/or other chemicals or elements now recognized as potentially causing cancer in humans. Our known exposure to these types of claims, asserted or probable of being asserted, is in our opinion not material.
Certain Civil Litigation
Putative Class Action Litigation
Our Company is a defendant in two actions asserting putative class action claims under the Video Privacy Protection Act (the “VPPA”): Daniel Valentini and Dallace Butler v. Reading International, Inc (2:24-cv-00255-RFB-MDC (D. Nev.)) (“The Valentini Case”), and Berryman v. Reading International, Inc. (1:24-cv-00750-PAE (S.D.N.Y.)) (“The Berryman Case”). The plaintiffs in these cases allege that our Company is a video tape service provider and knowingly disclosed plaintiff’s movie purchase and video-viewing habits to third parties in violation of the VPPA. Valentini and Butler also allege violation of a parallel state statute (California Code section 1799.3, the “California Statute”). Berryman also asserts claims under a similar statute (New York General Business Law Section
671 et seq(the “NY Statute”) and under the NY Arts and Cultural Affairs Law Section 25.07(4) (the “NY AC Statute”) which regulates the disclosure requirements applicable to ticketing service charges and provides a right to recover “actual damages or fifty dollars per violation, whichever is greater.”
Only limited case law exists as to claims under VPPA, a federal statute enacted in 1988. We have not identified any U.S. case in which an adverse VPPA judgment has been entered against a motion picture exhibition company on facts substantially similar to those alleged it this case. Further, the precedent that does exist suggests that theatres with websites selling tickets to cinema exhibitions are not video tape service providers under the statute, even if they operate websites to sell tickets and that the information disclosed through consumer use of cinema websites like ours does not include “personally identifiable information,” a necessary condition for liability under the VPPA.
Our Company has filed motions to dismiss the Valentini and the Berryman claims under Federal rule of Procedure 12(b)(6) for failure to state a claim for which relief can be provided. The Valentini motion is on hold, pending the outcome of an appeal to the Ninth Circuit of a trial court decision which the Company believes, if affirmed, will likely result in the dismissal of the Valentini case.
By Opinion and Order dated March 12, 2026, the District Court granted our Company’s motion and dismissed the VPPA and NY Statute claims in their entirety, without leave to amend on the basis that we did not disclose an “personally identifiable information.” As a result of the Court’s ruling, no VPPA or NY Statute claims remain pending against the Company in the Berryman action. Plaintiff has no right to appeal such decision until after resolution of the entire case including the below discussed NY AC Statute claims.
Berryman also asserts claims under the NY AC Statute alleging deficiencies in the disclosure provided by our Company with respect to service charges to residents of New York who purchased tickets online to our New York cinemas. These claims were not the subject of the Company’s renewed motion to dismiss and remain pending. We believe that our disclosure satisfied the requirements of the NY AC Statute.
We also believe that we have defenses to the Valentini Case VPPA claims, including defense on the grounds that provided the basis for the above described dismissal of the Berryman VPPA claims.
Wellington Construction Damage Litigation
A subsidiary of the Company is the defendant in litigation in Wellington, New Zealand titled (Body Corporate 78693 v. Courtenay Car Park Limited & Ors CIV-2021-485-612 & CIV-2023-485-67) which involves various claims related to the dropping of a concrete beam onto adjacent property by a construction subcontractor working for the general contractor engaged by such subsidiary to do demolition work on our subsidiary’s property. In March 2026, the Court has issued its findings that, while our subsidiary would be liable to the plaintiff’s under a theory of strict liability due to the inherently dangerous nature of the construction activity, our subsidiary is entitled to full indemnity from its general contractor under both contractual indemnity and breach of contract theories of recovery. To the extent our general contractor should for any reason fail to make good on its indemnity obligations to us, our subsidiary’s liability is fully covered by insurance. Our co-defendants have appealed the Court’s decision and, in light of such appeal, we have likewise appealed to protect our position. We are advised by counsel that the appeals process is likely to take a couple of years. As of the date of this disclosure, we haveno present obligation to settle any amounts in relation to this matter, as the Court has assessed that obligation on other defendants.
Philadelphia Code Violation Litigation
During the third quarter of 2025, our Company was served with a petition styled City of Philadelphia-Plaintiff vs. Reading International, Inc. Control Number 25074006 filed in the Court of Common Pleas under the City’s Code Enforcement Case Program, which among other things, (i) alleges violations of certain sections of the Philadelphia Code on property allegedly owned or under the control of Reading International in Philadelphia; (ii) seeks an order imposing statutory fines and reinspection fees and allowing the Department of Licenses and Inspections to enter the premises identified as 1120 Callowhill Street, Philadelphia Pennsylvania (the “Premises”) to conduct an interior inspection; and (iii) seeks an order compelling the Defendants to correct all alleged violations. We believe that it we have a variety of defenses to the claims, including defenses based on the fact, among other things, that some of the alleged violations were timely cured, that other allegations were timely appealed at the administrative level and that Reading International Inc. did not own the property in question (such property is owned by a subsidiary). We are in discussions with the City and have initiated measures including demolition of a building on the property and taking other actions to correct alleged violations through which we believe a resolution of the dispute will be accomplished. We are still in the talking stage with the City and discovery has not yet begun, but based on such conversations with the City and our review of the facts, we do not currently believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that the litigation will result in a material liability to the Company.

Note 18 – Stock-Based Compensation and Stock Repurchases
Employee and Director Stock Incentive Plan
2020 Stock Incentive Plan
On December 5, 2024, the Company’s stockholders, upon recommendation of the Company’s board of directors, approved the Second Amendment to the 2020 Stock Incentive Plan, increasing the number of Class A Common Stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Plan by an additional 3,500,000 shares.
Under the 2020 Plan, the Company may grant stock options and other share-based payment awards of our Class A Common Stock to eligible employees, directors and consultants. At March 31, 2026, there were 1,055,488 shares of Class A Common Stock available for issuance under the 2020 Plan.
Stock options are granted at exercise prices equal to the grant-date market prices and typically expire on either the fifth or tenth anniversary of the grant date, although the Company’s Compensation and Stock Options Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) may set different vesting times. In contrast to a stock option where the grantee buys our Company’s share at an exercise price determined on the grant date, a restricted stock unit (“RSU”) entitles the grantee to receiveone share for every RSU based on a vesting plan, typically betweenone year andfour years from grant. As discussed further below, a performance component has been added to certain of the RSUs or options granted to management. At the time the options are exercised or RSUs vest and are settled, at the discretion of management, we may issue treasury shares or make a new issuance of shares to the option or RSU holder.
Stock Options
We have estimated the grant-date fair value of our stock options using the Black-Scholes option-valuation model, which takes into account assumptions such as the dividend yield, the risk-free interest rate, the expected stock price volatility, and the expected life of the options. We expensed the estimated grant-date fair values of options over the vesting period on a straight-line basis. Based on our historical experience, the “deemed exercise” of expiring in-the-money options and the relative market price to strike price of the options, we have not estimated any forfeitures of vested or unvested options.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we recordeda compensation expense of $189,000, relating to our prior stock option grants. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we recordeda compensation expense of $299,000, relating to our prior stock option grants. At March 31, 2026, the total unrecognized estimated compensation expense related to non-vested stock options was $0.8 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 1.15 years. The intrinsic, unrealized value of all options outstanding vested and expected to vest, at March 31, 2026, wasnil, as the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on that date was $1.13.
The following table summarizes the number of options outstanding and exercisable as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025:

Time vested RSU awards to management typically vest 25% on the anniversary of the grant date and the remainder over a period offour years. Beginning in 2020, a performance component has been added to certain management equity grants, which vest on the third anniversary of their grant date based on the achievement of certain performance metrics. From 2021 onwards, RSUs have two vesting structures, which include time vesting and performance vesting. The majority of RSUs vest 75% evenly over a period offour years, with the remaining 25% contingent upon the achievement of certain performance metrics, vesting in full on the third anniversary of the date of the grant. In the case of our Chief Executive Officer, RSUs vest 50% evenly over a period offour years with the remaining 50%, contingent upon the achievement of certain performance metrics, vesting in full on the third anniversary of the grant date. In the second quarter of 2025, our Compensation Committee, upon the recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer and Board Chair, determined that due to liquidity management concerns, our Company would not pay cash bonuses for which our executive officers and other senior management may have been potentially eligible, and to issue stock options in lieu of such bonuses. Also, in 2024 and 2025, our Compensation Committee determined not to issue long term incentive stock options or RSUs.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2026, we recorded compensation expense of $178,000. For the quarter ended March 31, 2025, we recorded compensation expense of $301,000. The total unrecognized compensation expense related to the non-vested RSUs was $0.8 million as of March 31, 2026, which we expect to recognize over a weighted average vesting period of 0.34 years.
Stock Repurchase Program
Our Stock Repurchase Program expired on March 10, 2024, and has not been renewed.
Note 19 – Hedge Accounting
As of March 31, 2026, our Company held derivative instruments to the notional value of $34.3 million (AU$50.0 million). As of December 31, 2025, our Company held derivatives in the total notional amount of $32.2 million (AU$50.0 million).
The derivatives are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value and are included in the following line items:
| Liability Derivatives | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 31, · December 31, | ||||
| 2026 | 2025 | |||

The changes in fair value of that instrument were recorded in Other Comprehensive Income and released into interest expense in the same period(s) in which the hedged transactions affect earnings. In the quarter ended March 31, 2026 and March 31, 2025, respectively, the derivative instruments affected Comprehensive Income as follows:

As of March 31, 2026, we expect to release $4,000 to earnings over the remaining life of the derivative.
Note 20 – Fair Value Measurements
ASC 820 Fair Value Measurement establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The statement requires that assets and liabilities carried at fair value be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and
Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
The following tables summarize our financial liabilities that are carried at cost and measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, by level within the fair value hierarchy.
| (Dollars in thousands) | CarryingValue(1) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

(1)These balances are presented before any deduction for deferred financing costs.
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used to estimate the fair value of our financial assets and liabilities. There have been no changes in the methodologies used as of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025.
Level 1 investments in marketable securities primarily consist of investments associated with the ownership of marketable securities in U.S. and New Zealand. These investments are valued based on observable market quotes on the last trading date of the reporting period.
Level 2 derivative financial instruments are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate observable inputs such as interest rates and yield curves from the derivative counterparties. The credit valuation adjustments associated with our non-performance risk and counterparty credit risk are incorporated in the fair value estimates of our derivatives. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, we concluded that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.
Level 3 borrowings include our secured and unsecured notes payable, trust preferred securities and other debt instruments. The borrowings are valued based on discounted cash flow models that incorporate appropriate market discount rates. We calculated the market discount rate by obtaining period-end treasury rates for fixed-rate debt, or SOFR for variable-rate debt, for maturities that correspond to the maturities of our debt, adding appropriate credit spreads derived from information obtained from third-party financial institutions. These credit spreads take into account factors such as our credit rate, debt maturity, types of borrowings, and the loan-to-value ratios of the debt.
Our Company’s financial instruments also include cash, cash equivalents, receivables and accounts payable. The carrying values of these financial instruments approximate the fair values due to their short maturities. Additionally, there wereno transfers of assets and liabilities between levels 1, 2, or 3 during the quarters ended March 31, 2026, and March 31, 2025.
