Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1. OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited 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 unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on March 17, 2025 (“2024 Form 10-K”).

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. (“Pursuit”) and its subsidiaries. We have eliminated all significant intercompany account balances and transactions in consolidation.

Certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to current year presentation.

Nature of Business

We are a global attractions and hospitality company that owns and operates a collection of inspiring and unforgettable travel experiences in iconic destinations. We are managed on a consolidated basis for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. Accordingly, we are deemed to be a single operating segment.

On October 20, 2024, Pursuit (formerly known as Viad Corp) entered into an Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with TL Voltron, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Truelink Capital”), pursuant to which Truelink Capital agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests held by the Company in its subsidiaries comprising the Company’s former GES Exhibitions and Spiro reportable segments (the “GES Business”). The aggregate purchase price was $535 million, consisting of a base purchase price of $510 million, subject to customary adjustments for cash, indebtedness, working capital and transaction expenses, and a deferred purchase price of $25 million payable by Truelink Capital to the Company one year after the closing date.

On December 31, 2024, we completed the sale of the GES Business to Truelink Capital and relaunched Viad Corp as Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc., a standalone attractions and hospitality company with a singular focus on delivering unforgettable experiences in iconic destinations. We began trading under a new NYSE ticker symbol, PRSU, on January 2, 2025.

We determined that the sale of the GES Business met the criteria to be classified as a discontinued operation. Accordingly, we have accounted for the GES Business as a discontinued operation in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All amounts and disclosures for all periods presented reflect only the continuing operations of the Company unless otherwise noted. Refer to Note 5 –Discontinued Operationsfor further information.

Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

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 at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and costs and expenses during the reported period. Estimates and assumptions are used in accounting for, among other things: impairment testing of recorded goodwill and intangible assets and long-lived assets; allowance for uncollectible accounts receivable; sales reserve allowances; provisions for income taxes, including uncertain tax positions; valuation allowances related to deferred tax assets; liabilities for losses related to self-insured liability claims; liabilities for losses related to environmental remediation obligations; pension and postretirement benefit costs and obligations; share-based compensation costs; the discount rates used to value lease obligations; and the allocation of purchase price of acquired businesses. These estimates are inherently based on judgment and information currently available. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash equivalents are highly-liquid investments with remaining maturities when purchased of three months or less. Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and bank demand deposits. Restricted cash primarily represents collateral required for letters of credit.

Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash balances presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows consist of the following:

March 31,December 31,
(in thousands)20252024
Cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet$22,801$49,702
Restricted cash included in other current assets3,6176,355
Cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows$26,418$56,057

Revenue Recognition

Revenue is measured based on a specified amount of consideration in a contract with a customer, and amounts collected on behalf of third parties. We recognize revenue when a performance obligation is satisfied by transferring control of a product or delivering the service to a customer.

Service revenue is derived through ticket revenue, rooms revenue, and transportation and other services. Product revenue is derived through food and beverage and retail sales. Revenue is recognized at the time services are performed or upon delivery of the product. Service revenue is recognized over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits, and product revenue is recognized at a point in time.

Non-redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. We report non-redeemable noncontrolling interest within stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The amount of consolidated net income or loss attributable to Pursuit and the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest is presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Leases

We recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and classify leases as either finance or operating leases. The classification of the lease determines whether we recognize the lease expense on an effective interest method basis (finance lease) or on a straight-line basis (operating lease) over the lease term. In determining whether an agreement contains a lease, we consider if we have a right to control the use of the underlying asset during the lease term in exchange for an obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. We recognize ROU assets and lease liabilities at commencement date, which is when the underlying asset is available for use to a lessee, based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term.

Our operating and finance leases are primarily equipment and land leases. Our equipment leases comprise mainly vehicles, hardware, and office equipment, each with various lease terms. Our land leases comprise mainly leases in Canada and Iceland on which our hotels or attractions are located and have lease terms ranging up to 46 years.

If a lease contains a renewal option that is reasonably certain to be exercised, then the lease term includes the optional periods in measuring a ROU asset and lease liability. We evaluate the reasonably certain threshold at lease commencement, and it is typically met if we identify substantial economic incentives or termination penalties. We do not include variable leases and variable non-lease components in the calculation of the ROU asset and corresponding lease liability. Our lease agreements do not contain any significant residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.

Substantially all of our lease agreements do not specify an implicit borrowing rate, and as such, we utilize an incremental borrowing rate based on lease term and country in order to calculate the present value of our future lease payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents a risk-adjusted rate on a collateralized basis and is the expected rate at which we would borrow funds to satisfy the scheduled lease liability payment streams commensurate with the lease term and the country.

We are also a lessor to third party tenants who lease certain portions of facilities that we own. We record lease income from owned facilities as rental income. We classify all of our leases for which we are the lessor as operating leases.

Insurance Recoveries

Receipts from insurance up to the amount of the recognized losses are considered recoveries and are accounted for when they are probable of receipt. Anticipated proceeds in excess of the recognized loss are considered a contingency gain. A contingency gain for anticipated insurance proceeds in excess of losses already recognized is not recognized until all contingencies relating to the insurance claim have been resolved.

On July 22, 2024, Jasper National Park was closed and evacuated due to wildfire activity, and a wildfire entered the Jasper townsite on July 24, 2024. Pursuit’s hotels and attractions in and near the Jasper townsite were not reached by the wildfire and remain intact except for the Maligne Canyon Wilderness Kitchen (“Wilderness Kitchen”), a restaurant and retail operation located about three miles outside the town of Jasper. In addition to the loss of the Wilderness Kitchen, food and beverage inventories at our properties throughout the region were spoiled and written off. We also incurred other costs related to restoration efforts.

During 2024, we recorded total costs incurred at our properties affected by the Jasper wildfires of approximately $21.5 million. All of these costs are deemed probable of recovery through our insurance. During 2024, we received approximately $13 million in insurance proceeds as a partial settlement relating to the losses, of which $3.8 million was allocated to the charge for the Wilderness Kitchen and $9.2 million was allocated against the insurance receivable for costs incurred. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we received additional partial settlement payments of approximately $4.6 million from the insurance company relating to the losses and revised our estimated costs incurred downward by $1.7 million. As of March 31, 2025, the remaining insurance receivable balance relating to the Jasper wildfires of approximately $2.2 million represents costs that are deemed probable of recovery, compared to $8.5 million as of December 31, 2024. We include the insurance receivable in “Other current assets” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 2. REVENUE AND RELATED CONTRACT LIABILITIES

Contract Liabilities

A contract liability represents an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration from the customer before transferring control of those goods or services. Our performance obligations are short-term in nature. They include the provision of a hotel room, an attraction admission, and a chartered or ticketed bus or van ride. We recognize revenue when the service has been provided or the product has been delivered. When we extend credit, payment terms are generally within 30 days and contain no significant financing components. We periodically receive customer deposits prior to transferring the related product or service to the customer. We record these deposits as a contract liability, which are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of the related contract performance obligation(s). We include customer deposits in “Contract liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, 2025 contract liabilities were $22.1 million, compared to $12.4 million as of December 31, 2024. The contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 will be primarily recognized in revenue during 2025.

NOTE 3. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

We grant share-based compensation awards to our officers, directors, and certain key employees pursuant to the 2017 Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. Omnibus Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan has a 10-year term and provides for the following types of awards: (a) incentive and non-qualified stock options; (b) restricted stock awards and restricted stock units; (c) performance units or performance shares; (d) stock appreciation rights; (e) cash-based awards; and (f) certain other stock-based awards. As of March 31, 2025, there were 699,397 shares available for future grant under the 2017 Plan.

NOTE 4. ACQUISITION

Jasper SkyTram

On December 31, 2024, we acquired 100% of the equity interests in the Jasper SkyTram attraction in Jasper National Park for total cash consideration of $23.7 million Canadian dollars (approximately $16.5 million U.S. dollars), which includes a renewable long-term lease with Parks Canada, with nearly 30 years remaining. The Jasper SkyTram ascends 2,263 meters (8,081 feet) up Whistlers Mountain while taking in 360-degree national park views. On-site amenities include an interpretive boardwalk, easy access to hiking trails, and light culinary offerings.

The following table summarizes the preliminary allocation of the aggregate purchase price and amounts of assets acquired based upon the estimated fair value at the date of acquisition.

Under the acquisition method of accounting, the purchase price as shown in the table above is allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as “Goodwill.” Goodwill is included in the Banff Jasper Collection reporting unit. The primary factor that contributed to the purchase price resulting in the recognition of goodwill related to future growth opportunities when combined with our other businesses. Goodwill is deductible for tax purposes.

Following are details of the purchase price allocated to the intangible assets acquired for the Jasper SkyTram:

Transaction costs associated with the acquisition were $0.4 million during 2024, which are included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These assets have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements from the date of acquisition.

NOTE 5. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

On October 20, 2024, Pursuit (formerly known as Viad Corp) entered into a Purchase Agreement with Truelink Capital, pursuant to which Truelink Capital agreed to purchase all of the outstanding equity interests held by the Company in its subsidiaries comprising the GES Business. On December 31, 2024, we completed the sale of the GES Business to Truelink Capital and relaunched as Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc., a standalone attractions and hospitality company with a singular focus on delivering unforgettable experiences in iconic destinations.

We determined that the sale of the GES Business met the criteria under ASC 205-20 to be classified as a discontinued operation as the sale represented a strategic shift that had a significant effect on our operations and financial results. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been adjusted for all prior periods to reflect the GES Business as discontinued operations.

The following table summarizes the results of the GES Business presented within discontinued operations in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations:

Income from discontinued operations$3,620

(1)

On December 31, 2024, in connection with the sale of the GES Business, we terminated and repaid in full all outstanding obligations (approximately $393 million) due under our previous $500 million credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent (the “2021 Credit Facility”) and all related liens and security interests were terminated, discharged and released. In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations, we elected to allocate interest expense to discontinued operations for the 2021 Credit Facility and the related debt issuance costs that were not directly attributable to the GES Business. All of the interest expense and related debt issuance costs of the $400 million term loan were allocated to discontinued operations, and interest expense and debt issuance costs related to the $170 million revolving credit facility were allocated based on a ratio of net assets of the GES Business to the sum of our consolidated net assets and consolidated debt. We allocated interest expense to discontinued operations of $9.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024.

We incurred transaction costs of $0.9 million in connection with the sale of the GES Business during the three months ended March 31, 2024, which are included in discontinued operations. These costs primarily include third-party advisory, consulting, legal, and professional fees.

NOTE 6. INVENTORIES

We state inventories at the lower of cost or net realizable value, with cost determined using the average cost method. Inventories consist primarily of products for resale, including retail, food, and beverage. Total inventories was$11.3 million as of March 31, 2025 and $10.0 million as of December 31, 2024.

Goodwill is tested for impairment at the reporting unit level on an annual basis as of October 31, and between annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying value. We use a discounted expected future cash flow methodology (income approach) to estimate the fair value of our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing. We do not believe there have been any significant changes to the outlook for the future years or to the risk profile of our reporting units that would indicate that goodwill impairment testing should have been performed as of March 31, 2025.

Cash paid for interest on debt was $1.9 million during thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and $12.0 million during thethree months ended March 31, 2024.

2025 Credit Agreement

On January 3, 2025, Pursuit entered into a Credit Agreement (the “2025 Credit Agreement”), along with Brewster Inc., an Alberta corporation and a co-borrower. The Credit Agreement provides for a $200 million revolving credit facility (the “2025 Revolving Credit Facility”), available in U.S. dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros and Pounds sterling, with a maturity of January 3, 2030. Proceeds from the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility will provide us with additional funds for operations, growth initiatives, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes.

The 2025 Credit Agreement carries financial covenants as follows:

Maintain a total net leverage ratio no greater than 2.50 to 1.00; and

Maintain a fixed-charge coverage ratio no less than 1.25 to 1.00.

As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility.

Interest rates for U.S. dollar borrowings are based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). We also have the option to borrow U.S. funds based on the “Base Rate”, which for any day is the highest of the Fed Funds Rate plus 0.50%, Bank of America’s publicly-announced “prime rate,” and SOFR plus 1.00%.

Interest rates for Canadian dollar borrowings are based on the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) plus an additional credit spread adjustment of 0.29547% for a borrowing period of one-month’s duration or 0.32138% for three-month’s duration. We also have the option to borrow Canadian funds based on the “Canadian Prime Rate”, which for any day is the higher of the per annum rate of interest designated by Bank of America (acting through its Canada branch) from time to time as its prime rate for commercial loans made by it in Canada in Canadian dollars, and the CORRA Rate for one-month’s duration as of such day, plus 1.00%.

Credit spreads for borrowings are based on our total net leverage ratio and range from 1.75% to 2.25% for SOFR and CORRA borrowings and from 0.75% to 1.25% for Base Rate and Canadian Prime Rate borrowings. Additionally, a 1.00% floor applies to the Base Rate and a 0% floor applies to the Canadian Prime Rate.

The 2025 Revolving Credit Facility includes an undrawn fee ranging from 0.25% to 0.35% that is based on our total net leverage ratio.

As of March 31, 2025, capacity remaining under the 2025 Revolving Credit Facility was $189.3 million, reflecting $200 million total facility size, less $5.0 million of outstanding borrowing and $5.7 million in outstanding letters of credit.

Interest rates for borrowings in Pound Sterling are based on the Sterling Overnight Index Average and interest rates for borrowings in Euro are based on the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”), plus applicable credit spreads. No such borrowings had been made as of March 31, 2025.

Jasper Credit Facility

Effective May 16, 2023, Pursuit entered into a $27.0 million Canadian dollar (approximately $20.0 million U.S. dollars) credit facility (the “Jasper Credit Facility”). The Jasper Credit Facility provides for a $17.0 million Canadian dollar term loan (“Jasper Term Loan”) and a $10.0 million Canadian dollar revolving credit facility (“Jasper Revolving Credit Facility”). The Jasper Credit Facility matures on January 31, 2028.

The Jasper Credit Facility carries financial covenants as follows:

Maintain a pre-compensation fixed-charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.30 to 1.00; and

Maintain a post-compensation fixed-charge coverage ratio of not less than 1.10 to 1.00.

As of March 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all financial covenants under the Jasper Credit Facility.

Jasper Term Loan

The proceeds of the Jasper Term Loan reflect the outstanding balance under our prior Forest Park construction loan facility at the time it was converted to the Jasper Term Loan of $16.8 million Canadian dollars. The Jasper Term Loan bears interest at a 6.5% fixed rate.

Jasper Revolving Credit Facility

The proceeds of the Jasper Revolving Credit Facility are used to fund capital improvements. As of March 31, 2025, capacity remaining under the Jasper Revolving Credit Facility was $10.0 million Canadian dollars (approximately $7.0 million U.S. dollars). The Jasper Revolving Credit Facility bears interest at the Canadian Prime Rate plus 2.25%.

Flyover Iceland Credit Facility

Effective February 15, 2019, Flyover Iceland ehf., (“Flyover Iceland”) a wholly-owned subsidiary of Esja, entered into a credit agreement with a €5.0 million (approximately $5.6 million U.S. dollars) credit facility (the “Flyover Iceland Credit Facility”) with an original maturity date of March 1, 2022. The loan proceeds were used to complete the development of the Flyover Iceland attraction. The loan bears interest at the three month Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) plus 5.5%.

Flyover Iceland entered into an addendum effective December 1, 2021 wherein the principal payments were deferred for twelve months beginning December 1, 2021, with equal quarterly principal payments due beginning December 1, 2022 and the maturity date was extended to September 1, 2027.

On February 27, 2024, Flyover Iceland reached an agreement to amend and extend the Flyover Iceland Credit Facility, wherein the principal payments are deferred for six months beginning March 1, 2024, with equal quarterly principal payments due beginning September 1, 2024 and a maturity date of September 1, 2029. The amended terms also include a modification of the financial covenants and an adjustment of the interest rate to three month EURIBOR plus 5.5%, decreasing to 4.9% once Flyover Iceland’s leverage ratio is below 4.00 to 1.00.

NOTE 14. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value of an asset or liability is defined as the price that would be received by selling an asset or paying to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The fair value guidance requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted prices and other observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value, and also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value.

The fair value of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are as follows:

We include other mutual funds in “Other investments and assets” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. Refer to Note 13–Debt and Finance Lease Obligations for the estimated fair value of debt obligations.

(1)

Diluted income (loss) per common share is calculated using the more dilutive of the two-class method or if-converted method. The two-class method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares other than the participating securities. The if-converted method uses net income (loss) available to common stockholders and assumes conversion of all potential shares including the participating securities. Dilutive potential common shares include outstanding stock options, unvested restricted share units and convertible preferred stock. We apply the two-class method in calculating income (loss) per common share as unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends and preferred stock are considered participating securities. Accordingly, such securities are included in the earnings allocation in calculating income (loss) per share. The adjustment to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is reflected in income (loss) per common share.

We excluded the following weighted-average potential common shares from the calculations of diluted net income (loss) per common share during the applicable periods because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive:

Amounts reclassified from AOCI that relate to our defined benefit pension and postretirement plans include the amortization of prior service costs and actuarial net losses recognized during each period presented. We recorded these costs as components of net periodic cost for each period presented. Refer to Note 18 –Pension and Postretirement Benefits for additional information.

NOTE 17. INCOME TAXES

The effective tax rate was 5.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 5.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The income tax provision was computed based on our estimated annualized effective tax rate and the full-year forecasted income or loss plus the tax impact of unusual, infrequent, or nonrecurring significant items during the period. The amount and change of pre-tax income and loss recognized between jurisdictions impacted the reported effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2025, as we do not recognize a tax benefit primarily on losses in the United States where we have a valuation allowance, while recognizing tax expense in Canada and Iceland.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded a $0.5 million expense to record estimated withholding taxes associated with repatriating all of Sky Lagoon’s earnings back to the United States and a valuation allowance against the tax credit generated from this withholding tax.

We paid net cash for income taxes of $2.8 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, of which $2.3 million was paid to Canadian taxing authorities. We paid net cash for income taxes of $6.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, of which $5.9 million was paid to Canadian taxing authorities.

NOTE 18. PENSION AND POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS

The components of net periodic benefit cost of our pension and postretirement benefit plans for thethree months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 consist of the following:

NOTE 21. LITIGATIONS, CLAIMS, CONTINGENCIES, AND OTHER

Litigation and Regulatory Proceedings

We are plaintiffs or defendants in various actions, proceedings, and pending claims, some of which involve, or may involve, compensatory, punitive, or other damages. Litigation is subject to many uncertainties and it is possible that some of the legal actions, proceedings, or claims could be decided against us. Although the amount of liability as of March 31, 2025 with respect to unresolved legal matters is not ascertainable, we believe that any resulting liability, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our business, financial position, or results of operations.

On July 18, 2020, one of our off-road Ice Explorers was involved in an accident while enroute to the Athabasca Glacier, resulting in three fatalities and multiple other serious injuries. We immediately reported the accident to our relevant insurance carriers, who have supported our investigation and subsequent claims relating to the accident. In May 2023, we resolved charges from the Canadian office of Occupational Health and Safety in relation to this accident, resulting in fines and related payments in an aggregate amount of $0.5 million Canadian dollars (approximately $0.3 million U.S. dollars). We continue to manage our legal defense of various claims from the victims and their families. In addition, we believe that our reserves and, subject to customary deductibles, our insurance coverage is sufficient to cover potential claims related to this accident.

We are subject to various United States federal, state, and foreign laws and regulations governing the prevention of pollution and the protection of the environment in the jurisdictions in which we have or had operations. If we fail to comply with these environmental laws and regulations, civil and criminal penalties could be imposed, and we could become subject to regulatory enforcement actions in the form of injunctions and cease and desist orders. As is the case with many companies, we also face exposure to actual or potential claims and lawsuits involving environmental matters relating to our past operations. As of March 31, 2025, we had recorded environmental remediation liabilities of$1.1 million related to previously sold operations. Although we are a party to certain environmental disputes, we believe that any resulting liabilities, after taking into consideration amounts already provided for and insurance coverage, will not have a material effect on our financial position or results of operations.

Guarantees

As of March 31, 2025, we had certain obligations under guarantees to third parties. These guarantees are not subject to liability recognition in the condensed consolidated financial statements and relate to leased facilities and equipment leases entered into by our subsidiary operations. We would generally be required to make payments to the respective third parties under these guarantees in the event that the related subsidiary could not meet its own payment obligations. The maximum potential amount of future payments that we would be required to make under all guarantees existing as of March 31, 2025 would be approximately $43.6 million. These guarantees relate to our leased equipment and facilities through December 2038. There areno recourse provisions that would enable us to recover from third parties any payments made under the guarantees. Furthermore, there are no collateral or similar arrangements pursuant to which we could recover payments.

Following the sale of the GES Business, certain facility lease guarantees remained in place. Although Truelink Capital has agreed to indemnify us for any lease obligations, if Truelink Capital fails to make the required payments under the facility leases, we could be required to satisfy those obligations. Accordingly, we recorded a lease liability for the estimated fair value of the facility lease guarantees of $0.6 million, which will be amortized over the remaining lease term through 2033. As of March 31, 2025, the lease liability balance was $0.6 million.

NOTE 22. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS - REDEEMABLE AND NON-REDEEMABLE

Redeemable noncontrolling interest

On November 3, 2017, we acquired the controlling interest (54.5% of the common stock) in Esja, a private corporation in Reykjavik, Iceland. Subsequent to additional capital contributions, our equity ownership increased to 56.4% as of March 31, 2025. Through Esja and its wholly-owned subsidiary, we operate the Flyover Iceland attraction.

The minority Esja shareholders had the right to sell (or “put”) their Esja shares to us based on a multiple of 5.0x EBITDA as calculated on the trailing 12 months from the most recently completed quarter before the put option exercise. The put option was only exercisable after August 2022 (the “Reference Date”), and in the event the Flyover Iceland attraction had earned a minimum of €3.25 million in unadjusted EBITDA during the most recent fiscal year and during the trailing 12-month period prior to exercise (the “Put Option Condition”). The put option was exercisable during a period of 12 months following the Reference Date (the “Option Period”) if the Put Option Condition had been met. If the Put Option Condition had not been met during the first Option Period, the Reference Date was extended for an additional 12 months up to three times. If the Flyover Iceland attraction had not achieved the Put Option Condition by December 31, 2024, the put option would expire. As of December 31, 2024, the Flyover Iceland attraction did not achieve the Put Option Condition and such option expired. The redeemable noncontrolling interest owned by Esja was reclassified to non-redeemable noncontrolling interest and is presented within stockholders’ equity in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The noncontrolling interest’s carrying value was determined by the fair value of the noncontrolling interest as of the acquisition date and the noncontrolling interest’s share of the subsequent net income or loss. This value was benchmarked against the redemption value of the sellers’ put option. The carrying value was adjusted to the redemption value, provided that it did not fall below the initial carrying value, as determined by the purchase price allocation. We made a policy election to reflect any changes caused by such an adjustment to retained earnings (accumulated deficit), rather than to current earnings (loss).

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest represents the portion of equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to us. Our non-redeemable noncontrolling interest relates to the equity ownership interest that we do not own.

NOTE 23. SEGMENT INFORMATION

On December 31, 2024, we completed the sale of our GES Business (“GES Sale”). Prior to the GES Sale, our three operating segments comprised Pursuit, GES Exhibitions, and Spiro. As a result of the GES Sale, the operating results and cash flows for the GES Business have been classified as discontinued operations within the consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. Refer to Note 5 –Discontinued Operations for additional information. In connection with the GES Sale, our Board of Directors appointed a new President and Chief Executive Officer, who is our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”).

An operating segment is defined as a component of an enterprise that engages in business activities for which discrete financial information is available and regularly reviewed by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and assess performance. Our CODM manages the business on a consolidated basis and accordingly we have a single operating and reportable segment. We derive our revenue through our collection of travel experiences including attractions and hospitality, along with integrated restaurants, retail, and transportation.

Our CODM assesses performance of our single reportable segment and decides how to allocate resources based on income (loss) from continuing operations, which is also reported on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as “Income (loss) from continuing operations.” Our CODM uses income (loss) from continuing operations to monitor actual results to our forecasted plan, which is used in assessing performance and in establishing management’s compensation.

The financial information, including significant single segment expense categories regularly provided to our CODM, are included in the following table including a reconciliation to loss from continuing operations:
