NOTE2—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per Common Share

For thethree months ended* March 31, 2026,earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. For thethree* months ended* March 31, 2025,earnings (loss) per common share was computed using thetwo*-class method related to the Company’s Series A Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock, par value of $0.0001 (“Preferred Stock”), prior to its conversion into common shares on* February 3, 2026.Under thetwo*-class method, undistributed earnings available to stockholders for the period are allocated on a pro rata basis to the common stockholders and to the holders of the Preferred Stock based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and number of shares that could be issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock. Diluted earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of the dilutive incremental common shares associated with restricted stock awards, shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options, using the treasury stock method, and the potential common shares that could be issued from conversion of the Preferred Stock, using the if-converted method. When a net loss occurs, potential common shares have an anti-dilutive effect on earnings per share and such shares are excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation.

For thethree months ended* March 31,2025, the Company incurred a net loss available to stockholders, therefore potential common shares were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation as being anti-dilutive, and basic and diluted net loss per share is the same in the period. For thethree months ended March 31,2025,0.8 million unvested restricted shares,1.7 million shares issuable upon exercise of options and 8.6 million common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock, were excluded. On February 3, 2026,the Company caused all 62,000 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock to be converted into 9,018,763 shares of common stock, see Note7—Stockholders’* Equity for additional information.

NOTE3—REVENUES

Customer Deposits and Contract Liabilities

The Company’s guests remit deposits in advance of tour embarkation. Guest deposits consist of guest ticket revenues as well as revenues from the sale of pre- and post-expedition excursions, hotel accommodations, land-based expeditions and certain air transportation. Guest deposits represent unearned revenues and are reported as unearned passenger revenue when received and are subsequently recognized as tour revenue over the duration of the expedition. Contract liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration from the customer. The Company doesnot consider guest deposits to be a contract liability until the guestno longer has the right, resulting from the passage of time, to cancel their reservation and receive a full refund.

The Company was in compliance with its covenants in effect as of* March 31, 2026.*

NOTE6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

NOTE7—STOCKHOLDERS’** EQUITY**

Preferred Stock

On* February 3, 2026,the Company caused the mandatory conversion of all 62,000 outstanding shares of Preferred Stock into 9,018,763 shares of its common stock. Through conversion, the Company continued to pay dividends in-kind. The Company had the option to convert all, butnot* less than all, of the Preferred Stock into common stock if the volume-weighted average closing price (“VWAP”) of shares of common stock was at least150% of the conversion price ($14.25) for20 out of30 consecutive trading days. The number of shares of common stock received in such conversion shall be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing the then-current accrued value by the conversion price. This VWAP threshold was satisfied on* January 16, 2026and on January 20, 2026,*the Company issued a Notice of Conversion to each holder of the Company’s Preferred Stock, providing that the Company intended to exercise its right, pursuant to the terms of the Certificate of Designations of the Preferred Stock, to effect a mandatory conversion of all the shares of Preferred Stock.

The Company recorded accrued dividends for Preferred Stock of $0.5 million for thethree months ended* March 31, 2026and $1.2 million for thethree* months ended* March 31, 2025.*

NOTE8—STOCK BASED COMPENSATION

The Company is authorized to issue up to 9.3 million shares of common stock under the amended2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which was approved by shareholders in* September 2021,and as amended in June 2025.As of March 31, 2026,*4.6 million shares were available to be granted under the Plan.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of $1.7 million and $3.7 million for thethree months ended* March 31, 2026and2025,* respectively.

10

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

During thethree months ended* March 31, 2026,*the Company awarded 430,072 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a weighted average grant price of $16.66. The RSUs will generally vest equally over three years on the anniversary of the grant date, subject to the recipient’s continued employment or service with the Company on the applicable vesting date. The number of shares were determined based upon the closing price of our common stock on the date of the award.

During thethree months ended* March 31, 2026,the Company awarded 91,109 performance-based restricted share units (“PSUs”) with a weighted average grant price of $17.30. The PSUs generally vest three years following the date of grant based on the attainment of performance-based goals, all of which are subject to a service condition. The Company doesnot* issue the shares associated with the PSUs to the recipient until the performance and vesting conditions are met.

Options

During thethree months ended* March 31, 2026,*the Company granted 771,863 options, with an average exercise price of $17.65. The options vested on their grant date, with a term often years.

Stock Option Grants
Stock price$17.65
Exercise price$17.65
Dividend yield0.0%
Expected volatility65.73%
Risk-free rate3.73%
Expected term (years)5.0

As of* March 31, 2026and December 31, 2025,options to purchase an aggregate of 1.3 million and 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, with weighted average exercise price of $13.98 and $8.91, respectively, were outstanding. As of March 31, 2026,*1,069,363 options were exercisable.

Mr. Bressler’s employment agreement, as amended, provides Mr. Bressler, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Natural Habitat, Inc. (“Natural Habitat”), with an equity incentive opportunity, established in2016, to earn an award of options based on the long-term future financial performance of Natural Habitat. During2025, the award was modified to extend the performance period from* December 31, 2025,to December 31,of any given year that Mr. Bressler exercises his put right (see Note10—Commitments* and Contingencies), aligning the percentage of the option award to be granted each year with the percentage of put exercised by Mr. Bressler. The equity incentive opportunity award, as amended, is based on the future financial performance of Natural Habitat, where if the final year equity value of Natural Habitat, as defined in Mr. Bressler's employment agreement, exceeds $25.0 million, effective as of the preceding* December 31,*of any given year that Mr. Bressler exercises a portion of his put right, Mr. Bressler will be granted options with a fair value equal to 5.05% of such excess in proportion to the percentage of the put option exercised. The actual number of options granted will be determined by the calculated final year equity value of Natural Habitat divided by the Black-Scholes per share option value, factoring in the Company’s stock price on the date of the issuance of the options, its volatility and an appropriate risk-free rate. The options will be vested as of the issuance date and have a term often years.

During thethree months ended* March 31, 2026,Mr. Bressler exercised a portion of his put right and received the equivalent percentage of options under the equity incentive award, which was calculated based on performance through December 31, 2025.As a result, the Company issued 771,863 fully vested options to Mr. Bressler, as noted above. The Company had previously determined it was probable the performance condition would be met related to this award and recorded the related expense on a straight-line basis through December 31, 2025.Expense related to the incremental fair value measured on the2025* modification date of the award will be recognized when Mr. Bressler exercises the put and option award and the performance condition is deemed probable. During thethree months ended* March 31, 2026,*the Company recorded $0.1 million stock-based compensation expense related to this award.

NOTE9—INCOME TAXES

As of* March 31, 2026and December 31, 2025,the Company hadno* unrecognized tax benefits recorded. The Company's effective tax rate for thethree months ended* March 31, 2026was a benefit of 25.4% versus a benefit of 312.8% for thethree* months ended* March 31, 2025.*In both periods, the effective tax rate differs from the statutory rate because of the mix of jurisdictions generating income and the valuation allowance against certain loss and interest carryforwards in the United States.

NOTE10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company has controlling interests in its Natural Habitat, Off the Beaten Path, DuVine and Classic Journeys consolidated subsidiaries. The noncontrolling interests are subject to put/call agreements. The put options enable the minority holders, but donot obligate them, to sell the remaining interests to the Company. The Company has call options which enable it, but doesnot obligate it, to acquire the remaining interests in the subsidiaries, subject to certain dates, expirations and similar redemption value purchase measurements as the put options.

11

Since the redemption of the noncontrolling interests arenot solely in the Company’s control, the Company is required to record the redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of stockholders’ equity but after its total liabilities. In addition, if it is probable that the instrument will become redeemable, solely due to the passage of time, the redeemable noncontrolling interest should be adjusted to the redemption value viaone oftwo measurement methods. The Company elected the income classification-excess adjustment and accretion methods for recognizing changes in the redemption value of the put options. Under this methodology, a calculation of the present value of the redemption value is compared to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, and the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest is adjusted to the redemption value’s present value. Any adjustments to the carrying value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest, up to the redemption value of the noncontrolling interest, are classified to retained earnings.

The redemption value of the put options were determined using a discounted cash flow model. The redemption values were adjusted to their present value using the Company’s weighted average cost of capital.

During* January 2026,Mr. Levine, President of DuVine Cycling + Adventure Company (“DuVine”), entered into a Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement to replace the previous put for the Company’s right to acquire all of Mr. Levine’s remaining interests in DuVine, with a put right, butnot* an obligation, that* maybe exercised annually, up to 50% in any given year, beginning December 31, 2027,for so long as Mr. Levine holds interest in DuVine, and aone*-time right to exercise100% of the put at* December 31, 2027.*

During* March**2026,* Mr. Bressler exercised a portion of the put option on Natural Habitat, allowing the Company to acquire an additional 5.0% of Natural Habitat for $16.6 million, increasing its ownership to 95.1%.

NOTE11—SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company is primarily an experiential travel operator with operations intwo reportable segments, Lindblad, which provides ship-based expeditions, and Land Experiences, which provides active, land-based trips, tours, treks and safari adventures. In identifying its reportable segments, the Company organized them around the nature of services provided and other relevant factors. While both segments have similar characteristics, thetwo operating and reporting segments cannot be aggregated because they fail to meet the requirements for aggregation. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, or CODM, is its Chief Executive Officer. The CODM assesses performance and allocates resources based upon the separate financial information from the Company’s operating segments.

12

The CODM and management review operating results monthly and evaluate the performance of the business segments and base operating decisions on the total results at a consolidated level, as well as at a segment level, based largely on tour revenues and operating income without allocating other income and expenses, net, income taxes and interest expense, net. The reports provided to the Board of Directors are at a consolidated level and contain information regarding the separate results of both segments.
