NOTE2—EARNINGS PER SHARE

Earnings (loss) per Common Share

For thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 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* andnine months ended* September 30, 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 have been 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 have been issued from conversion of the Preferred Stock, using the if-converted method (prior to its conversion into common shares on* February 3, 2026).*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 andnine months ended* September 30, 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 were the same for those periods. For thethree* andnine months ended* September 30, 2025,1.1 million unvested restricted shares,1.2 million shares issuable upon exercise of options, and 8.8 million common shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Stock were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculation. For thethree* andnine months ended* September 30, 2026,no potentially dilutive securities were excluded as anti-dilutive. 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 common stock; see Note7—Stockholders’* Equity for additional information.

Earnings (loss) per share was calculated as follows:

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 revenues when received and are subsequently recognized as tour revenue over the duration of the expedition or trip. 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 change in contract liabilities within unearned passenger revenues is as follows:

7.00% Notes

The Company has $675.0 million aggregate principal amount of 7.00% Notes (the*“7.00%* Notes”) outstanding. The7.00% Notes bear interest at a rate of7.00% per year, payable semiannually in arrears on* March 15and September 15of each year. The7.00%* Notes will mature on* September 15, 2030,subject to earlier repurchase or redemption.

The7.00% Notes* may*be redeemed by the Company, at set redemption prices and premiums, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), with an aggregate principal commitment amount of $60.0 million, which matures in* August 2030,with a letter of credit sub-facility of $15.0 million aggregate principal amount. The obligations under the Revolving Credit Facility are guaranteed by the Company and the Guarantors and are secured byfirst*-priority pari passu liens, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions, on substantially all the assets of the Company and the Guarantors. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility, if any, will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, an adjusted Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus a spread or a base rate plus a spread. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee ranging from 0.375% to 0.50% per annum on unused commitments under the

The Company was in compliance with its covenants in effect as of* September 30, 2026.*

NOTE6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The Company estimates the approximate fair value of its long-term debt as of* September 30*,2026 to be $648.3 million based on the terms of the agreements and comparable market data as of* September 30, 2026.As of September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025,other than derivative instruments andinvestments in securities, the Company hadno* other significant liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

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. 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. This VWAP threshold was satisfied on* January 16, 2026,and on January 20, 2026,the Company issued a Notice of Conversion to each holder of the Company’s Preferred Stock, providing required notice to each holder that the Company was exercising 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 on February 3, 2026.*

The Company recorded accrued dividends for Preferred Stock of $0.5 million for thenine months ended* September 30, 2026,and$1.2 million and$3.7 million for thethree* andnine months ended* September 30, 2025,*respectively.

NOTE8—STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

The Company is authorized to issue up to 9.3 million shares of common stock under the Company’s2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) which was approved by stockholders in* September 2021and amended in June 2025.As of September 30, 2026,* 4.5 million shares were available to be granted under the Plan.

The Company recorded stock-based compensation expense of$1.5 million and$5.2 million for thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2026,respectively, and$5.4 million and$14.5 million for thethree* andnine months ended* September 30, 2025,*respectively.

Long-Term Incentive Compensation

During thenine months ended* September 30, 2026,*the Company awarded 496,216 restricted stock units (“RSUs”) with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of$18.28. 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.

During thenine months ended* September 30, 2026,the Company awarded 113,861 performance-based restricted stock units (“PSUs”) with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $18.96. 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 unless and until the performance and vesting conditions are met.

11

Options

During thenine months ended* September 30, 2026,*the Company granted 771,863 options, with a weighted-average exercise price of $17.65. The options vested on their grant date, with a term often years. The fair values of employee stock options granted were estimated using the following assumptions:

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* September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025,options to purchase an aggregate of 1.2 million and 1.5 million shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively, with weighted-average exercise prices of$14.25 and$8.91, respectively, were outstanding. As of September**30,* 2026, 1.1 million 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, 2025to December 31of 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.

In* March**2026,* Mr. Bressler exercised a portion of his put right and received the equivalent percentage of options under the equity incentive opportunity 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.

NOTE9—INCOME TAXES

As of* September 30, 2026and December 31, 2025,the Company hadno* unrecognized tax benefits recorded. The Company’s effective tax rate for thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2026was an expense of 14.2% and 12.5%, respectively, versus a benefit of 127.6% and 71.7% forthethree* andnine months ended* September 30, 2025,respectively. In2026,* the effective tax rate differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the utilization of U.S. loss subject to a valuation allowance, partially offset by income earned in foreign jurisdictions with tax rates higher than the U.S. federal statutory rate. In2025, the effective rate differs from the statutory rate primarily due to the mix of jurisdictions generating income, non-deductible employee compensation, changes in valuation allowances and tax impact of the deductibility of issuance costs.

For thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2026,a $20.5 million deferred tax liability was recognized related to the book-tax basis difference resulting from acquired intangibles of the White Desert Ltd, PNR Airways Ltd, and Echo Charlie Ltd acquisition. SeeNote12—Acquisitions* for additional information. This deferred tax liability increases the Company’s goodwill by $20.5 million.

NOTE10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest

The Company has controlling interests in its consolidated subsidiaries, Natural Habitat, Off the Beaten Path, DuVine and Classic Journeys, as well as White Desert Ltd, PNR Airways Ltd, together with their subsidiaries (collectively, “White Desert”), and Echo Charlie Ltd (“Echo Charlie”). 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 donot 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.

Since the redemption of the noncontrolling interests isnot 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 values 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 requiring the Company 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 an 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%.

During* April 2026,Mr. and Mrs. Piegza, President and Vice President, respectively, of Classic Journeys, LLC (“Classic Journeys”), exercised a portion of the put option, allowing the Company to acquire an additional 9.9% interest in Classic Journeys for $3.2 million, increasing its ownership to 90.1%. In connection with this transaction, the Piegzas entered into a Second Amended and Restated Operating Agreement, which provides for a put right, butnot* an obligation, together with a corresponding call right, butnot an obligation, each exercisable annually beginning* December 31, 2030,*for up to 50% of the remaining interests in any given year, for so long as the Piegzas hold an interest in Classic Journeys.

On* September 14, 2026,the Company acquired a 60% controlling interest in White Desert Ltd, PNR Airways Ltd, together with their subsidiaries (collectively, “White Desert”), and Echo Charlie Ltd (“Echo Charlie”). The remaining minority shareholders of White Desert and Echo Charlie (together “WD Shareholders”) retain a 40.0% noncontrolling interest in White Desert and Echo Charlie, which are subject to put/call arrangements. These arrangements were established in order to provide a formal exit opportunity for WD Shareholders and a path to 100% ownership for the Company. WD Shareholders have a put option that under certain conditions, enables them, but doesnot* obligate them, to sell 50% of the remaining interests in White Desert and Echo Charlie at thefirst option date of* December 31, 2030,and asecond* put option, butnot an obligation, at* December 31, 2031,to sell the remaining interests in White Desert and Echo Charlie to the Company, subject to permitted extension notices, for so long as WD Shareholders hold an interest in White Desert and Echo Charlie. The Company has corresponding call options, butnot* obligations, at similar terms, dates and conditions as WD Shareholders’ put options.

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.

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. Operating results for the Company’s reportable segments were as follows:

NOTE12—ACQUISITIONS

White Desert

On* September 14, 2026,the Company acquired a 60% controlling interest in White Desert and Echo Charlie. White Desert is a leading provider of luxury tourism in the interior of Antarctica, operatingthree* unique camps each limited to just12 guests. White Desert is also a sustainability pioneer and trusted partner of the scientific community, flying hundreds of scientists to research stations each year. Echo Charlie is a new offering that creates White Desert-style experiences around the world with small-group journeys aboard a fully restored DC-3 capable of landing on remote airstrips. The acquisition expands the Company’s experiential travel offerings. White Desert and Echo Charlie are reported within the Land Experiences segment.

The aggregate purchase price was $66.6 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments, including net working capital. The Company incurred non-recurring acquisition-related costs of $2.0 million, which are excluded from consideration transferred and are included in general and administrative expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for thethree andnine months ended* September 30, 2026.*

The acquisitions are being accounted for as business combinations under the acquisition method. The former shareholders retained the remaining 40.0% noncontrolling interests in White Desert and Echo Charlie, which are subject to reciprocal put and call options that* mayresult in the Company acquiring those interests. The redeemable noncontrolling interests, including the embedded put and call features, are measured at acquisition-date fair value and classified in temporary equity. The provisional acquisition-date fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests was $40.7 million. The fair value was estimated using the cash paid and Monte Carlo simulation. The measurement is based on significant unobservable inputs and represents a Level3* fair value measurement. Inputs include projected EBITDA, implied equity value, EBITDA and equity volatility, correlation between EBITDA and equity value, discount rates, and counterparty credit risk. The valuation also incorporates the contractual exercise price provisions and exercise and payment timing of the respective options. The valuation remains provisional pending finalization during the measurement period.

The purchase price has been preliminarily allocated to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated acquisition-date fair values, except for items measured in accordance with other applicable U.S. GAAP guidance. The following table summarizes the preliminary amounts recognized for the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and redeemable noncontrolling interests as of the acquisition date:

The Company hasnot finalized any aspect of the purchase price allocation for the acquisitions; accordingly, all amounts presented remain provisional. The Company will adjust the allocation as additional information about acquisition-date facts and circumstances becomes available during the measurement period. The preliminary identifiable intangible assets consist of the White Desert and Echo Charlie trade names, customer relationships, and permits and licenses. The estimated fair value of these identifiable intangible assets and the assessment of their estimated useful lives is provisional and pending finalization of the valuation reports during the measurement period. Goodwill is expected to reflect White Desert and Echo Charlie’s assembled workforce and operating capabilities, as well as the anticipated benefits of combining White Desert’s Antarctic expedition and Echo Charlie’s aviation operations with the Company’s existing experiential-travel platform. Goodwill has been allocated to the Land Experiences segment. Goodwill hasno tax basis and is thereforenot deductible for tax purposes.

The results of operations of White Desert and Echo Charlie have been included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements from their acquisition date. The revenue and net income contributed by the acquisitions were immaterial to the Company’s financial statements during thethree months ended* September 30, 2026.*
