Description of business and basis of presentation
Merger with FAST II
Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”, “FBG”, or the “Company”), entered into an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of September 1, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pubco, FAST Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“FAST II”), Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Falcon’s Opco”), and Palm Merger Sub, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pubco (“Merger Sub”).
On October 5, 2023 FAST II merged with and into Pubco (the “SPAC Merger”), with Pubco surviving as the sole owner of Merger Sub, followed by a contribution by Pubco of all of its cash (except for cash required to pay certain transaction expenses) to Merger Sub to effectuate the “UP-C” structure; and on October 6, 2023 Merger Sub merged with and into Falcon’s Opco (the “Acquisition Merger,” and collectively with the SPAC Merger, the “Business Combination”), with Falcon’s Opco as the surviving entity of such merger. Following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Closing”), the direct interests in Falcon’s Opco were held by Pubco and certain holders of the limited liability company units of Falcon’s Opco outstanding as of immediately prior to the Business Combination.
The Company recognized a transaction credit of $11.1 million for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 for the reversal of accrued transaction expenses related to the Business Combination. See "Note 7 – Commitments and contingencies" for additional discussion. The remaining transaction costs of $5.1 million are not yet settled as of March 31, 2026. Negotiations regarding the terms of the remaining costs yet to be settled are still ongoing and may change materially from the amounts accrued.
Nature of operations

We design, develop, engineer, deliver, and commercialize immersive physical and digital experiences for leading brands, developers, and destination operators worldwide, as well as for our own portfolio of entertainment and technology concepts. Our business is built on an integrated experience platform that brings together creative development, proprietary technologies, advanced engineering, intellectual property (“IP”), and operational execution to enable the repeatable creation, deployment, and scaling of entertainment experiences across multiple formats and locations globally. We operate through three complementary business divisions: Falcon’s Creative Group (“FCG”), Falcon’s Beyond Brands (“FBB”), and Falcon’s Beyond Destinations (“FBD”), each of which serves a distinct role within the Company’s operating model and participates in different stages of value creation within the experience economy. These divisions are conducted through five operating segments as of March 31, 2026. FCG provides creative and advisory services including destination strategy, master planning, experiential and attraction design, digital media, interactive software, IP development, and creative guardianship for entertainment and hospitality destinations.

Basis of presentation
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries for which it exercises control. Long-term investments in affiliated companies in which the Company exercises significant influence, but which it does not control, are accounted for using the equity method. The Company does not have any significant variable interest entities or special purpose entities whose financial results are not included in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements of the Company’s operating foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates prevailing during the period. Resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of operations, cash flows, and financial position have been made. Except as otherwise disclosed, all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes are presented in accordance with the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. GAAP, with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and do not contain certain information included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 30, 2026.
Therefore, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report.
Principles of consolidation
The non-controlling interest represents the membership interest in Falcon’s Opco held by holders other than the Company.
The results of operations attributable to the non-controlling interest are included in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), and the non-controlling interest is reported as a separate component of equity.
The Company consolidates the assets, liabilities, and operating results of Falcon’s Opco and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
Liquidity
The Company has continued to invest in initiatives focused primarily on expanding its Falcon's Beyond Brands division, including product development, talent acquisition, and selective strategic investments. These activities have contributed to continued operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. Accordingly, the Company performed an evaluation of its ability to continue as a going concern through at least twelve months from the date of the issuance of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 205-40, Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern.
The Company’s development plans and associated working capital needs have been funded by a combination of debt and equity investments from its stockholders and the sale of non-core assets. The Company expects to continue utilizing a mix of these funding sources, including access to capital markets, additional financing arrangements, potential monetization of non-core investments, and expected distributions from PDP associated with the return of required withholding taxes from the sale of the Sol Tenerife Hotel in 2025 to support its ongoing growth strategy and working capital requirements. As of March 31, 2026, the Company has a working capital deficiency of $12.9 million, including short-term debt obligations of $9.3 million. The Company is actively evaluating refinancing and other alternatives with respect to these obligations.
Management’s assessment of the Company’s ability to meet its obligations over the next twelve months is based on current liquidity levels and assumes the continued execution of its operating plan and certain financing and capital initiatives. While management believes these assumptions are reasonable, the Company has incurred recurring operating losses and negative cash flows from operations. These conditions, together with the Company’s ongoing capital needs to support its growth initiatives and working capital requirements, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company continues to take active steps to strengthen its capital position and improve liquidity, including pursuing additional financing and evaluating strategic alternatives. While management believes these actions may enhance the Company’s financial flexibility, they do not change the conclusion that substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. There can be no assurance that additional capital or financing, if obtained, will provide sufficient funding for the next twelve months from the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not reflect the possible future effects on the recoverability and classification of assets or the amounts and classifications of liabilities that may result from the possible inability of the Company to continue as a going concern.
Summary of significant accounting policies
Concentration of credit risk
Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivable and Contract assets. The Company places its Cash and cash equivalents with financial institutions of high credit quality. At times, such amounts exceed federally insured limits. Management believes that no significant concentration of credit risk exists with respect to these cash balances because of its assessment of the creditworthiness and financial viability of the respective financial institutions.
The Company provides credit to its customers located both inside and outside the United States in its normal course of business. Receivables are presented net of an allowance for credit losses based on the Company’s assessment of the collectability of customer accounts. The Company maintains an allowance that provides for an adequate reserve to cover estimated losses on receivables as well as contract assets. The Company determines the adequacy of the allowance by estimating the probability of loss based on the Company’s historical credit loss experience and taking into consideration current market conditions and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount. The Company regularly evaluates receivable and contract asset balances considering factors such as the customer’s creditworthiness, historical payment experience and the age of the outstanding balance. Changes to expected credit losses during the period are included in Credit loss expense in the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). After concluding that a reserved accounts receivable is no longer collectible, the Company reduces both the gross receivable and the allowance for credit losses. There was no allowance for credit losses as of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
The Company hadtwo customers with revenue greater than 10% of total revenue for thethree months ended March 31, 2026. FBG had revenue from FCG of $1.9 million (36% of total revenue) and $1.6 million (95% of total revenue) for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Accounts receivable balances from FCG totaled $3.1 million (57% of total accounts receivable) and $2.4 million (64% of total accounts receivable) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively. Revenue from the second customer totaled $2.8 million (52% of total revenue) and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Accounts receivable balances from the second customer totaled $1.4 million (26% of total accounts receivable) and $0.8 million (22% of total accounts receivable) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Reclassifications
Certain prior year amounts in these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the three months ended March 31, 2026.
Recently issued accounting standards
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, "Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurements of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets," which introduces a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and contract assets. Under this expedient, entities may assume that conditions existing at the balance sheet date will persist for the remaining life of the asset, which simplifies the estimation process by eliminating the need to forecast future economic conditions for short-term assets. The Company adopted this ASU as of March 31, 2026 and elected to apply the practical expedient. The adoption of this ASU didnot have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU 2026‑01, "Initial Measurement of Paid‑in‑Kind Dividends on Equity‑Classified Preferred Stock." The amendments in this update standardize the initial measurement of paid‑in‑kind dividends on equity‑classified preferred stock and require such dividends to be initially measured based on the paid‑in‑kind dividend rate specified in the applicable preferred stock agreement. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The Company early adopted this ASU on a prospective basis as of January 1, 2026. The adoption of this ASU didnot have a material impact on the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted as of March 31, 2026
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)". The amendments in this ASU require a public business entity to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. Relevant expense categories include, but are not limited to, employee compensation, selling expenses, intangible asset amortization, depreciation, and purchases of inventory. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027. Prospective application is required, but retrospective application may be applied. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, "Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow-Scope Improvements." The amendments in this ASU clarify interim disclosure requirements and their applicability. This ASU results in a comprehensive list of interim disclosures that are required by U.S. GAAP. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, "Codification Improvements." The amendments in this ASU facilitate updates for a broad range of topics arising from technical corrections, unintended application of U.S. GAAP, clarifications, and other minor improvements. The ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is evaluating the impact of this ASU.

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 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 partial distribution from PDP of $1.7 million related to performance from the Mallorca property.
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 windup 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. Subsequent to March 31, 2026, the Company received a second partial distribution from Karnival in the amount of $1.9 million.

Commitments and contingencies
Litigation
The Company is named from time to time as a party to lawsuits and other types of legal proceedings and claims in the normal course of business. The Company accrues for contingencies when it believes that a loss is probable and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of any such loss in accordance with ASC 450, Contingencies("ASC 450"). As previously disclosed, a lawsuit was filed against the Company by Guggenheim Securities, LLC (“Guggenheim”) in which Guggenheim alleges that the Company owes certain fees and expenses of $11.1 million for services allegedly performed by Guggenheim in connection with the Business Combination consummated on October 6, 2023 (the “Guggenheim Complaint”). The Company has denied all liability. The Company filed counterclaims against Guggenheim for fraud, breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, and equitable rescission. On March 31, 2026, the Supreme Court of the State of New York (the “Court”) heard oral arguments on each party’s motions for summary judgment. The Court denied the Company’s motion and granted Guggenheim’s motion in part; however, the Court allowed certain of the Company’s counterclaims to proceed. The Court denied Guggenheim’s motion for summary judgment on its claims and ordered that the matter would proceed to trial. The parties filed cross notices of appeal. In light of the order from the Court for the motions for summary judgment, management reevaluated its prior conclusion regarding the likelihood of loss associated with the Guggenheim matter. Based on the current procedural posture, including the Court’s findings and the viability of the Company’s counterclaims, management no longer believes that a loss related to Guggenheim’s claims is probable. Rather, the Company has concluded that the risk of loss is reasonably possible. Accordingly, during the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company reversed the previously recorded accrual of $11.1 million associated with the alleged amended engagement agreement with Guggenheim. The reversal reflects management’s updated assessment that the recognition criteria for a loss contingency under ASC 450 are no longer met and as such, no accrual has been recorded as of March 31, 2026. Although the Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims alleged in the Guggenheim Complaint and contest the amounts Guggenheim asserts are owed, the ultimate outcome of this matter remains uncertain. Based on the current assessment that a loss is no longer probable, no estimate of possible loss or range of loss can be made at this time, and an adverse outcome could have a material effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows in a future period.
On July 29, 2025, the Company received a Summons to answer a Motion for Summary Judgment in Lieu of Complaint filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County (the "Motion”) from FAST Sponsor II LLC (“FAST”) in which FAST alleges that the Company owed FAST payment for principal, interest, and penalties of $9.1 million for two separate loans relating to the Company’s deSPAC transaction that closed in October, 2023. On September 29, 2025, the Company opposed the Motion, and FAST filed its reply in support of the Motion on October 9, 2025. The Company and FAST entered into a Confidential Settlement Agreement and Release, dated as of November 26, 2025 pursuant to which the Company paid an upfront settlement payment of $2.5 million on December 1, 2025, and agreed to pay FAST a deferred settlement payment of $7.0 million on or before January 31, 2027 (the “Deferred Loan Settlement”). On February 20, 2026, the parties filed a Stipulation of Discontinuance and Order with the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York Countyand on February 28, 2026, the action was discontinued without prejudice pursuant to the parties’ stipulation.
Indemnification
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into certain agreements that provide for indemnification by the Company of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, directors, officers, employees, and other parties with respect to certain matters. Indemnification includes losses from breach of such agreements, services provided by the Company, or third-party intellectual property infringement claims. These indemnities may survive termination of the underlying agreement and the maximum potential amount of future indemnification payments, in some circumstances, are not subject to a cap. As of March 31, 2026, and December 31, 2025, there were no known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material indemnification liability.
Commitments
The Company has a commitment with KIDS Licensing LLC (“KIDS”) to develop venues themed with KIDS’s licensed trademarks and intellectual property. The Company is required to pay a minimum royalty fee of $0.1 million per year through 2032.
Stock warrants
Prior to January 14, 2025, the warrants were classified as a liability and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The warrant agreement was amended effective January 14, 2025. The amendment provides for the mandatory exchange of the warrants for shares of Class A Common Stock at an exchange ratio of 0.25 shares of Class A Common Stock per warrant, on October 6, 2028. The warrants will not be exercisable and the holders of the warrants will have no further rights except to receive shares of Class A Common Stock on October 6, 2028.
The remaining warrants meet the requirements for equity classification after the amendment. The Company adjusted the fair value of the warrants a final time on January 14, 2025, immediately prior to the amendment effective date. The total adjusted liability balance was reclassified into equity on January 14, 2025. After the reclassification to equity, the warrants do not require subsequent fair value measurement.
As of both March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, there are 5,177,089 warrants outstanding which will be exchanged for 1,294,272 shares of Class A Common Stock on October 6, 2028.

| Class A shares subject to forfeiture under the deferred settlement agreement | 360,000 | — |
375,000 of the unvested Class A earnout shares are subject to forfeiture under the deferred settlement agreement.
Share-based compensation
The Company adopted a share-based compensation plan (the “Plan”) under which each vested Restricted Stock Unit represents the right to receive one Class A Common Share. Under the Plan, RSUs with service-based conditions may be granted to directors, officers, employees, and non-employees. RSUs were granted to employees of both the Company and FCG. However, FCG fully reimburses FBG for the compensation cost associated with these grants. As such, expenses related to the RSUs granted to employees of FCG do not represent a purchase of services or contribution to FCG.
The RSUs do not provide the grantee with an option to choose settlement in cash or stock. The holder of the RSU shall not be, nor have any of the rights or privileges of, a shareholder of the Company, including, without limitation, voting rights and rights to dividends, in respect to the RSUs and any shares underlying the RSUs and deliverable under the Plan unless and until such shares shall have been issued by the Company and held of record by such holder. The fair value of these RSUs is estimated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant using the closing price on the day of grant. A summary of the Plan’s RSUs award activity is as follows:
| RestrictedStock Units | |
|---|---|
| Nonvested at January 1, 2026 | 688,250 |
| Granted | 188,494 |
| Forfeited | (500) |
| Vested | (80,206) |
| Nonvested shares outstanding at March 31, 2026 | 796,038 |
The RSUs under the Plan generally vest withinone tofive years following the date of grant.
Certain RSUs granted under the Plan on January 28, 2026 vest as follows: (1)32.5% on the grant date; (2)20% on November 1, 2026; (3)22.5% on November 1, 2027; and (4)25% on November 1, 2028. All other RSUs granted under the Plan on January 28, 2026 vest on the first anniversary of the grant date.
The Company recognized stock-based compensation expenseof $0.7 million and $0.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, which is included within Selling, general and administrative expenses in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The $0.3 million and $0.2 million compensation cost for RSUs granted to FCG employees for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively, are recognized as a reimbursement from FCG and do not impact the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
As of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, stock-based compensation expense not yet recognized relating to nonvested awards was $6.0 million and $5.8 million, respectively, of which $2.1 million and $2.3 million relates to compensation cost for RSUs granted to FCG employees, respectively. Stock compensation expense recognized by FCG is reimbursed to FBG.
Income taxes
The tax provisions for the three months ended March 31, 2026, and 2025 were computed using the estimated effective tax rates applicable to the taxable jurisdictions for the full year. The Company’s tax rate is subject to management’s quarterly review and revision, as necessary. The Company’s effective tax ratewas 0% for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025. The Company paidno income taxes for both the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.
The Company records a provision or benefit for income taxes on pre-tax income or loss based on its estimated effective tax rate for the year. Given the Company’s uncertainty regarding future taxable income, the Company maintains a full valuation allowance on its deferred tax assets.
Tax receivable agreement
On October 6, 2023, the partners of Falcon’s Opco at the time of the Acquisition Merger (“Exchange TRA Holders”), along with the Company (collectively the “TRA Holders”) entered into a Tax Receivable Agreement (“TRA Agreement”) with Falcon’s Opco that provides for the payment by Falcon’s Opco to the TRA Holders of 85% of the amount of tax benefits, if any, that it realizes, or in some circumstances, is deemed to realize, as a result of (i) future redemptions funded by Falcon’s Opco or exchanges, or deemed exchanges in certain circumstances, of common units of Falcon’s Opco for the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”) or cash, and (ii) certain additional tax benefits attributable to payments made under the Tax Receivable Agreement (the “TRA Payment”). On October 24, 2024, the Company and Exchange TRA Holders entered into an Amendment to the Tax Receivable Agreement to clarify the rights of a TRA Holder that transfers units but does not assign the transferee its rights under the TRA Agreement with respect to such transferred units.
Segment information
The Company hasfive reportable operating segments, FCG, Destinations Operations, PDP, Falcon's Attractions and FBB-Other. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers ("CODM") is its Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, who reviews financial information for purposes of making operating decisions, assessing financial performance, and allocating resources. Operating segments are organized based on product lines and, for our location-based entertainment, by geography. The CODM assesses the segments' performance by using each segment's income (loss) from operations, these results are used predominantly in the budgeting and forecasting process. The CODM considers segment results when making decisions about the allocation of operating and capital resources. Segment income (loss) from operations include costs directly attributable to the segment including project design and build expenses, cost of product sales, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, and the share of gain (loss) from equity method investments excluding impairments. Unallocated corporate expenses which include accounting, audit, and professional services fees that support external reporting activities, are presented as a reconciling item between total segment income (loss) from operations and the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statement results.
FCG provides creative and advisory services including destination strategy, master planning, experiential and attraction design, digital media, interactive software, IP development, and creative guardianship for entertainment and hospitality destinations. For the purpose of assessing financial performance and making resource allocation decisions, the CODM reviews full FCG results as if FCG was consolidated, instead of only the share of FCG's equity method gain. To reconcile total segment revenue to the Company's total consolidated revenue, FCG's segment revenue is eliminated. To reconcile Segment loss from operations to the Company's consolidated net income before taxes, FCG's Segment income from operations is eliminated and the Company's share of FCG's equity method loss is added.
PDP develops, owns and operates hotels, theme parks and retail, dining and entertainment venues. Destinations Operations provides development and management services for themed entertainment to PDP and develops, owns, operates, and expands entertainment venues, hospitality experiences, and branded destination concepts across a variety of location‑based formats, utilizing proprietary and third‑party intellectual property. The Company collectively refers to the Destinations Operations and PDP as Falcon’s Beyond Destinations.
Falcon's Attractions designs, engineers, manufactures, and sells proprietary and customized ride systems, attraction hardware, and related technologies for theme parks, location‑based entertainment venues, and destination developments worldwide. FBB-Other is utilized for the development and commercialization of Company owned and third-party intellectual property through consumer products and media.
The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies.
