Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block]

Item 1C. Cybersecurity

Risk Management and Strategy

We recognize the importance of cybersecurity risk and the protection of information across our enterprise and have been working towards the integration of our processes for assessing, identifying, and managing risks from cybersecurity threats into our overall risk management system. As further described in Item 1A “Risk Factors,” our operations rely on the secure processing, storage and transmission of confidential and other information as well as personal information in our computer systems and networks.

We rely on third parties for a significant portion of our information technology functions and conduct periodic risk assessments with assistance from a third-party consultant. We also rely on third-party hardware, software, network infrastructure, storage systems and vendors to maintain and upgrade our technology systems in order to support our business operations. Computer viruses, hackers, employee misconduct and other external hazards can expose our information systems to security breaches, cybersecurity incidents or other disruptions, any of which could materially and adversely affect our business. As previously disclosed, in May 2023, we experienced a network intrusion in which an unauthorized third party accessed and exfiltrated certain information from specific systems. In response to this incident, we secured our digital assets within our computer systems, promptly shut down our financial reporting systems on a temporary basis and commenced an investigation with assistance from an outside cybersecurity firm. In connection with this incident, we have incurred certain incremental one-time costs of $0.3 million during the 2023 fiscal year related to consultants, experts and data recovery efforts, and expect to incur additional costs related to cybersecurity protections in the future. Although we have not been the subject of any legal proceedings involving cybersecurity incidents, it is possible that we could be the subject of claims from persons alleging that they suffered damages from such incidents.

We have implemented a variety of measures to enhance our cybersecurity protections and minimize the impact of any future attack, including by (i) requiring that all external vendors who need to access any internal/cloud resources utilize secure encrypted tunnels or be physically internal and utilize authorized terminals with provided credentials, (ii) conducting security awareness training for our staff and (iii) requiring longer log retention for all tracking telemetry information. However, cybersecurity threats are constantly evolving, and there can be no guarantee that a future cybersecurity event will not occur. The sophistication of cybersecurity threats continues to increase, and the controls and preventative actions we take to reduce the risk of cybersecurity incidents and protect our systems, including through the regular testing of our cybersecurity incident response plan, may be insufficient. In addition, new technology that could result in greater operational efficiency such as the use of artificial intelligence may further expose our computer systems to the risk of cybersecurity incidents.

Governance

As part of our overall risk management approach, we seek to prioritize the identification and management of cybersecurity risk at several levels in our organization, including through oversight by our Board of Directors and management team. Our Board of Directors oversees risk from cybersecurity threats and our procedures for protecting our cybersecurity infrastructure, and members of management responsible for our cybersecurity risk management program are expected to periodically report to the Board of Directors regarding cybersecurity risk.

Our Executive Vice President of Technology has nearly 20 years of experience working in technology and technology infrastructure and has completed college coursework in computer engineering. Together with our Chief Corporate Officer and Chief Development Officer, our Executive Vice President of Technology oversees our cybersecurity risk management processes, including those described in “—Risk Management and Strategy” above. Our cybersecurity risk management program seeks to implement tools and activities to prevent, detect, and analyze current and emerging cybersecurity threats, as well as strategies to address threats and incidents.

At the employee level, we maintain an information technology team tasked with implementing our privacy and cybersecurity program and who support management in reporting, security and mitigation functions. We also hold employee trainings on privacy and cybersecurity, records and information management, conduct phishing tests and generally seek to promote awareness of cybersecurity risk through communication and education of our employee population.

Merger with FAST II

Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Pubco”, “FBG”, or the “Company”), entered into a Plan of Merger, dated as of January 31, 2023 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Pubco, FAST Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“FAST II”), Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC, a Florida limited liability company that has since redomesticated as 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.

FAST II and Falcon’s Opco’s transaction costs related to the Business Combination of $6.3 million and $15.7 million, respectively, are not yet settled at December 31, 2024. Negotiations regarding the terms of the costs yet to be settled are still ongoing and may change materially from the amounts accrued. Costs incurred in excess of the gross proceeds are recorded in income or loss.

Nature of Operations

The Company operates at the intersection of content, technology, and experiences. We aim to engage, inspire and entertain people through our creativity and innovation, and to connect people with brands, with each other, and with themselves through the combination of digital and physical experiences. At the core of our business is brand creation and optimization, facilitated by our multi-disciplinary creative teams. The Company has three business divisions, which are conducted through four and five operating segments as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our three business lines feed into each other to accelerate our growth strategy: (i) Falcon’s Creative Group, LLC (“FCG”) creates master plans, designs attractions and experiential entertainment, and produces content, interactives and software; (ii) Falcon’s Beyond Destinations develops a diverse range of entertainment experiences using both owned and third-party licensed intellectual property, consisting of Producciones de Parques, S.L. (“PDP”), Sierra Parima, S.A.S. (“Sierra Parima”) (Sierra Parima’s Katmandu Park in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic (“Katmandu Park DR”) was closed to visitors on March 7, 2024), and Destinations Operations, which develops a diverse range of entertainment experiences using both Company owned and third party licensed intellectual property, spanning location-based entertainment, dining, and retail; and (iii) Falcon’s Beyond Brands brings brands and intellectual property to life through animation, movies, licensing and merchandising, gaming, as well as ride and technology sales.

Basis of presentation

The Business Combination was accounted for similar to a reverse recapitalization, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”). Following the closing of the Business Combination, Falcon’s Opco’s Executive Chairman, Mr. Scott Demerau, together with other members of the Demerau family, continued to collectively have a controlling interest of Pubco. As the Business Combination represented a common control transaction from an accounting perspective, the Business Combination was treated similar to a reverse recapitalization. As there was no change in control, Falcon’s Opco has been determined to be the accounting acquirer and Pubco was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Falcon’s Opco issuing stock for the net assets of Pubco, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Pubco were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the period prior to the Business Combination are those of Falcon’s Opco.

The 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 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 loss.

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 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. The consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Liquidity

The Company has been engaged in expanding its physical operations through its equity method investments, developing new product offerings, raising capital and recruiting personnel. As a result, the Company has incurred a loss from operations of $15.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, accumulated deficit attributable to common stockholders of $46.5 million as of December 31, 2024, and negative cash flows from operating activities of $12.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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 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 has committed to fund its share of additional investment in its equity investment, Karnival TP-AQ Holdings Limited (“Karnival”), for the purpose of constructing the Vquarium Entertainment Centers in the People’s Republic of China. See Note 14 – Commitments and contingencies.

The Company’s development plans, and investments have been funded by a combination of debt and committed equity contributions from its stockholders and third parties, and the Company is reliant upon its stockholders and third parties to obtain additional financing through debt or equity raises to fund its working capital needs, contractual commitments, and expansion plans. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has accrued material amounts of expenses in relation to its external advisors, accountants and legal costs in relation to its Form S-4 and other filings. The Company has a working capital deficiency of $(31.3) million which excludes debt that is maturing in the next 12 months as of December 31, 2024. Additionally, the Company has $10.2 million in debt that is maturing in the next 12 months. The Company does not currently have sufficient cash or liquidity to pay liabilities that are owed or are maturing at this time and to fund ongoing operations. There can be no assurance that the additional debt or equity raises, if completed, in combination with remaining commitments that are available on existing credit facilities, will provide the necessary funding for the next twelve months from the date these consolidated financial statements will be issued. As a result, there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for the twelve-month period following the issuance of these consolidated financial statements. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments to 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.

Deconsolidation of Falcon’s Creative Group, LLC

On July 27, 2023, pursuant to the Subscription Agreement by and between FCG and QIC Delaware, Inc., (the “Subscription Agreement”), QIC Delaware, Inc., a Delaware corporation and an affiliate of QIC, invested $30.0 million in FCG (“Strategic Investment”). Following the closing of the Subscription Agreement, FCG now has two members: QIC, holding 25% of the equity interest in the form of preferred units, and the Company, holding the remaining 75% of the equity interest in the form of common units. In connection with the Strategic Investment, FCG amended and restated its limited liability company agreement (“LLCA”) to include QIC as a member and to provide QIC with certain consent, priority and preemptive rights; and the Company and FCG entered into an intercompany service agreement (“Intercompany Services Agreement”) and a license agreement. Upon the closing of the Subscription Agreement, FCG received a closing payment of $17.5 million (net of $0.5 million in reimbursements relating to due diligence fees incurred by QIC). In April 2024, QIC released the remaining $12.0 million investment into FCG pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreement upon the establishment of an employee retention and attraction incentive program.

QIC is entitled to redeem its preferred units on the earlier of (a) the five-year anniversary of the Strategic Investment 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.

QIC, as the holder of the preferred units of FCG, has priority with respect to any distributions by FCG, to the extent there is cash available. Under the LLCA, such distributions are payable (i) first, to QIC until the holders’ preferred return is reduced to zero, (ii) second, to QIC until the investment amount is reduced to zero, (iii) third, to the Company until it has received an amount per common unit equal to the amount per preferred unit paid to QIC, and (iv) fourth, to QIC and the Company on a pro-rata basis of 25% and 75%, respectively.

The LLCA grants QIC the right to block or participate in certain significant operating and capital decisions of FCG, including the approval of FCG’s budget and business plan, strategic investments, and incurring additional debt, among others. These rights allow QIC to effectively participate in significant financial and operating decisions of FCG that are made in FCG’s ordinary course of business. As such, as of July 27, 2023 the Company does not have a controlling financial interest since QIC has the substantive right to participate in FCG’s business decisions. Therefore, FCG was deconsolidated and accounted for as an equity method investment in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s retained interest in FCG will continue to be presented separately as a reportable segment.

After July 27, 2023, the assets and liabilities of FCG are no longer included within the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023. The consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) include no and approximately seven months of activity related to FCG prior to deconsolidation for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Summary of significant accounting policies

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company has prepared the estimates using the most current and best available information that are considered reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ materially from those estimates. Accounting policies subject to estimates include, but are not limited to, inputs used to recognize revenue over time, inventory valuation, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in relation to a business combination, deferred tax valuation allowances, the valuation and impairment testing of goodwill and investments in equity method investments, and the valuation of warrant and earnout liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes restricted cash held by the Company as required by the credit card arrangement.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Expenditures that materially increase the life of the assets are capitalized. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When an item is retired or sold, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:

 

Equipment

 

3 – 5 years

Furniture

 

7 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Lesser of lease term or asset life

 

Depreciation expense was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross assets of $1.7 million and accumulated depreciation of $0.7 million was deconsolidated with FCG on July 27, 2023.

 

 

 

 

Deferred transaction costs

The Company deferred $0.6 million transaction expenses related to a proposed underwritten offering of the Company's Class A common stock (the "Follow-on Offering") as of December 31, 2024, which has not been completed. Deferred transaction costs are included in Other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital as a reduction to the gross proceeds received upon completion of the Follow-on Offering or charged to operations if the Follow-on Offering is not completed. In connection with the Follow-on Offering, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 has been filed, which remains pending as of April 3, 2025.

Costs incurred in connection with preparation for the Business Combination were expensed as of December 31, 2023.

Investments and advances to equity method investments

The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in corporate joint ventures when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating decisions of the joint venture. Such investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our proportionate share of the net earnings or loss of the investee, which is reported in Share of loss from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Dividends received, if any, from these joint ventures reduce the carrying amount of our investment.

The Company monitors the equity method investments for impairment and records reductions in their carrying value if the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when such impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider our ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered.

Revenue recognition

Falcon’s Creative Group

Based on the specific analysis of its contracts, the Company has determined that its contracts are subject to revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Recognition under the ASC 606 five-step model involves (i) identification of the contract, (ii) identification of performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the previously identified performance obligations, and (v) revenue recognition as the performance obligations are satisfied.

During step one of the five step model, the Company considers whether contracts should be combined or separated, and based on this assessment, the Company combines closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria are met. The combination of two or more contracts requires judgment in determining whether the intent of entering into the contracts was effectively to enter into a single contract, which should be combined to reflect an overall profit rate. Similarly, the Company may separate an arrangement, which may consist of a single contract or group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if the applicable criteria are met. Judgment is involved in determining whether a group of contracts may be combined or separated based on how the arrangement and the related performance criteria were negotiated. The conclusion to combine a group of contracts or separate a contract could change the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include a right of return relative to delivered products. In certain cases, contracts are modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are accounted for as part of the existing contract. Certain contracts with customers have options for the customer to acquire additional goods or services. In most cases, the pricing of these options are reflective of the standalone selling price of the good or service. These options do not provide the customer with a material right and are accounted for only when the customer exercises the option to purchase the additional goods or services. If the option on the customer contract was not indicative of the standalone selling price of the good or service, the material right would be accounted for as a separate performance obligation.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from master planning and design contracts, media production contracts and turnkey attraction contracts. The Company accounts for a contract once it has approval and commitment from all parties, the rights and payment terms of the parties can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and the collectability of the consideration, or transaction price, is probable. Contracts are often subsequently modified to include changes in specifications or requirements, these changes are not accounted for until they meet the requirements noted above. Each promised good or service within a contract is accounted for separately under the guidance of ASC 606, if they are distinct. Promised goods or services not meeting the criteria for being a distinct performance obligation are bundled into a single performance obligation with other goods or services that together meet the criteria for being distinct. The appropriate allocation of the transaction price and recognition of

revenue is then applied for the bundled performance obligation. The Company has concluded that its service contracts generally contain a single performance obligation given the interrelated nature of the activities which are significantly customized and not distinct within the context of the contract.

Once the Company identifies the performance obligations, the Company determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. Certain customer contracts include key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) which are intended to create mechanism to enable the customer to measure performance of the work against specified targets. KPI’s relate to deliverables and specified outputs in relation to the scope of services in the contract. The contracts allow for the customer to assess penalties against the Company when the measure of performance of work against specified targets has not been met in accordance with contract terms. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not recorded any adjustment to the contract price for penalties, since it does not believe any amounts will be imposed by the customer. Prices are fixed at contract inception and are not generally contingent on performance or any other criteria.

The Company engages in long-term contracts for production and service activities and recognizes revenue for performance obligations over time. These long-term contracts are primarily fixed price and involve the planning, design, and development of attractions. Revenue is recognized over time versus point in time recognition. The Company’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The customer receives the benefit as the Company builds the asset. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract.

For long-term contracts, the Company typically recognizes revenue using the input method, using a cost-to-cost measure of progress. The Company believes that this method represents the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures value transferred to the customer. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the amount of time to complete the contract, including the assessment of the nature and complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials; the availability of subcontractor services and materials; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer. The Company bears the risk of changes in estimates to complete on fixed-price contracts, which may cause profit levels to vary from period to period. For over time contracts, the Company recognizes anticipated contract losses as soon as they become known and estimable.

Accounting for long-term contracts requires significant judgment relative to estimating total costs, in particular, assumptions relative to the amount of time to complete the contract, including the assessment of the nature and complexity of the work to be performed. The Company’s estimates are based upon the professional knowledge and experience of its engineers, program managers and other personnel, who review each long-term contract monthly to assess the contract’s schedule, performance, technical matters and estimated cost at completion. Changes in estimates are applied retrospectively and when adjustments in estimated contract costs are identified, such revisions may result in current period adjustments to earnings applicable to performance in prior periods.

On long-term contracts, the portion of the payments retained by the customer is not considered a significant financing component. At contract inception, the Company also expects that the lag period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will not constitute a significant financing component. Many of the Company’s long-term contracts have milestone payments, which align the payment schedule with the progress towards completion on the performance obligation. On some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment, which is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to facilitate inventory demands at the onset of a contract and to safeguard the Company from the failure of the other party to abide by some or all of their obligations under the contract.

The Company has elected to exclude from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer.

Destinations Operations

The principal sources of revenues for the Destinations Operations segment are resort and theme park management and incentive fees. Resort and theme park management and incentive fees are based on a percentage of revenues and profits, respectively earned by the theme parks during the corresponding period.

Shared Services

 

After the deconsolidation of FCG, the Company continues to provide corporate shared services support to FCG. The Company recognizes revenue related to these services in the amount the Company has a right to invoice. The Company uses the right to invoice practical expedient, as the Company’s right to payment corresponds directly with the value to FCG of the Company’s performance to date.

Digital media license revenue

 

The Company enters into contracts with its customers to license the right to use digital ride media content (“RMC”) for a fixed fee. Revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the license is transferred to the customer as there are no further performance obligations upon transfer. See Note 10 – Related party transactions.

Transaction expenses

Transaction expenses are stated separately in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Transaction expenses include professional services expenditures directly related to business combinations, other investments, and disposals of other assets and liabilities that qualify as a business. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized minimal transaction expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll, payroll taxes and benefits for non-project related employee salaries, share-based compensation, taxes, and benefits as well as technology infrastructure, marketing, occupancy, finance and accounting, legal, human resources, and corporate overhead expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses primarily consist of related party vendor costs involved in research and development activities related to the development of new products. Research and development expenses are expensed in the period incurred.

Income taxes

The Company is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes, the Company is allocated local and foreign income taxes from taxable income generated by Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC. Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes except for certain consolidated subsidiaries that are subject to taxation in foreign jurisdictions as a result of their entity classification for tax reporting purposes.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets (“DTA”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTL”) for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines DTAs and DTLs on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes DTAs to the extent that it is believed that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If determined that FBG would be able to realize DTAs in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, FBG would make an adjustment to the DTA valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

At each balance sheet date, management assesses the need to establish a valuation allowance that reduces deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance would be based on all available information including the Company’s assessment of uncertain tax positions and projections of future taxable income and capital gains from each tax-paying component in each jurisdiction, principally derived from business plans and available tax planning strategies.

FBG records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) on the basis of a two-step process. The Company will determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, FBG recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense.

Fair value measurement

The Company accounts for certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity-specific information for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

 

Level 1

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3

Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

 

Fair value focuses on an exit price and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risk inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risks. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those financial instruments.

The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivables, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

Translation of foreign currencies

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The Company translates assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar using the applicable exchange rate as of the consolidated balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows at the average exchange rates during the corresponding reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of these foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Transactional gains and losses and the re-measurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities held in non-functional currency of the underlying entity are included in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), respectively.

Related party transactions

Related parties are comprised of parties which have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, and parties under common control. Transactions where there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties are disclosed or referenced in Note 10 – Related party transactions.

Net income (loss) per share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities, to the extent their inclusion is dilutive to earnings per share.

Warrant liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants assumed in connection with the Business Combination (see Note 1 – Description of business and basis of presentation) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company remeasures the fair value of the warrants based on the quoted market price of the warrants. The liability is subject to

re-measurement at each Balance Sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Earnout Liability

At the closing of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, certain holders were entitled to receive up to a total of 1,937,500 and 75,562,500 contingent earnout shares (“Earnout Shares”) in the form of Class A and Class B common stock of the Company, respectively. The Earnout Shares were placed into an escrow account for the benefit of certain holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. See Note 19 - Earnouts for earnout modification.

Incentive Award Plan

The Company maintains the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) under which the Company issued grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) on December 21, 2023, to officers, directors, employees, and non-employees that vest according to a five-year graded vesting schedule where portions of the award vest at different times during the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the RSUs in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period for the entire award, as long as the participant continues to provide service to the Company. The RSUs are settled in equity and do not grant the Company the ability to settle in cash or transfer other assets. The compensation expense related to the RSUs is based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date using the closing share price. Furthermore, the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur and will reverse any compensation expense previously recognized in the period of forfeiture. The Company initially reserved 1,127,196 shares of its Class A Common Stock for the issuance of awards under the 2023 Incentive Plan.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of Cash and cash equivalents and Accounts receivable. 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 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.

The Falcon’s Creative Group segment has significant revenue concentration associated with a few customers. The Falcon’s Creative Group segment is now comprised of the Company’s retained equity method investment in FCG. FCG revenue continues to depend on one customer, QIC. FCG had one customer with revenues greater than 10% of total revenue, $52.4 million and $18.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company had one customer with revenue greater than 10% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the amount of $6.2 million (93% of total revenue). Accounts receivable balances with this customer totaled $1.4 million (83% of total Accounts receivable) as of December 31, 2024.

The Company had three customers with revenue greater than 10% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, $11.1 million for one customer, $3.6 million for the second customer and $2.1 million for the third customer. Accounts receivable balances with these three customers totaled $0.6 million (86% of total Accounts receivable) as of December 31, 2023.

Recently issued accounting standards

On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU requires additional reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the ASU enhances interim disclosure requirements effectively making the current annual requirements a requirement for interim reporting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2024, the previously reported segment disclosures have been recast to reflect the new presentation under ASU 2023-07 guidance.

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted as of December 31, 2024

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 entitled Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is primarily applicable to public companies and requires a significant expansion of the granularity of the income tax rate reconciliation as well as an expansion of other income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires a company to disclose specific income tax categories within the rate reconciliation table and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. There are also additional disclosures related to income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdictions, and to income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements”. The amendments in this Update affect a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the effect of this update on the Company’s financial statements and anticipates no material impact to the consolidated financial statements when adopted in the fiscal year beginning 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)". The amendments in this Update 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 guidance is effective for the Company in its 2027 annual reporting. The guidance is applied prospectively and may be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03.

Prior to deconsolidation of FCG, FCG was the lessee for all leases. Consequently, following the deconsolidation, the consolidated balance sheets will not reflect any right-of-use assets or lease liabilities as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

For the period prior to the deconsolidation of FCG, the Company had finance leases related to an office, facility and computer equipment. The Company leased office space from a related party, Penut Productions, LLC (“Penut”), a wholly owned subsidiary of The Magpuri Revocable Trust, under a series of long-term lease agreements.

Intangible assets, net

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company assessed impairment indicators and determined that there was a significant decrease in the amount of expected ultimate revenue to be recognized from the RMC intangible asset. Development plans for future parks, where this RMC would have been deployed, had been deferred indefinitely until which time the Company can evaluate the funding required to develop these parks. These circumstances indicated that the fair value may be less than the unamortized cost of the RMC. As significant uncertainty existed as to when capital may be available to commit to these future projects, the Company could not reasonably project any future cash flows from the RMC intangible asset, the asset was fully impaired as of December 31, 2023.

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

As of July 27, 2023, FCG was deconsolidated and accounted for as an equity method investment in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. See Deconsolidation of Falcon’s Creative Group, LLC under Note 1 – Description of business and basis of presentation for a discussion of the terms of the Strategic Investment which required the deconsolidation of FCG. As of July 27, 2023, the Company recorded the investment in FCG at fair value, which was determined to be $39.1 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, FCG terminated three leases with Penut, a related party of FCG. As the termination of these leases extinguished a liability with a related party at no cost, the gain on termination of $0.5 million was accounted for by FCG as a capital contribution. The Company adjusted its equity method investment in FCG to reflect the change in the Company's claim on FCG's net assets. This adjustment is recognized in the Company's consolidated balance sheet as Share of change in equity of equity method investment.

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 a hotel resort and theme park located in Mallorca, Spain and a hotel located at Tenerife in the Canary Islands.

iii)
Sierra Parima

Sierra Parima is an equity method investment with Meliá Group focused on 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. Sierra Parima had one theme park in Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic, the Katmandu Park DR. The Company has concluded that Sierra Parima is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), that the Company does not have the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of Sierra Parima, as such decisions are taken by the unanimous consent of the representatives of the joint venture partners. The Company, therefore, does not consolidate Sierra Parima and accounts for the investment as an equity method investment.

Full Impairment of Investment in Sierra Parima

Katmandu Park DR completed construction and opened to visitors in early 2023. Although various operational challenges encountered upon opening were resolved, Katmandu Park DR visitor levels were below management’s expectations. Melia and the Company jointly decided to wind down operations and are evaluating avenues for potential liquidation or sale of the property. On March 7, 2024, Katmandu Park DR was closed to visitors.

As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s equity investment in Sierra Parima was deemed to be other-than-temporarily impaired. The Company estimated the fair value of its investment in Sierra Parima utilizing a discounted cash flow analysis and supported by a market multiples approach. The impairment is the result of management’s estimates and assumptions regarding the likelihood of certain outcomes related to various liquidation and sale scenarios and pending legal matters, the timing of which remains uncertain. These estimates were determined primarily using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3). The estimates that the Company makes with respect to its equity method investment are based upon assumptions that management believes are reasonable, and the impact of variations in these estimates or the underlying assumptions could be material.

Based on the estimated sale or liquidation proceeds from Sierra Parima, and Sierra Parima’s outstanding debts remaining to be settled, the fair value of the Company’s investment in Sierra Parima was determined to be zero. The Company recorded $0 and $14.1 million in other-than-temporary impairment losses during the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively related to the Company’s equity method investment in Sierra Parima. There are no other liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other financial commitments between the Company and Sierra Parima. The Company is not committed to provide any additional funding as of December 31, 2024. Any future capital fundings will be discretionary.

iv)
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 is to hold ownership interests in entities developing and operating amusement centers located in the People’s Republic of China. The first location is currently under development in Hong Kong. The Company has concluded that Karnival is a VIE, that 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. The Company and its joint venture partners are committed to funding non-interest-bearing advances of $9.0 million (HKD 69.7 million) each, over a three-year period. As of December 31, 2024, the Company had funded $6.6 million (HKD 51 million). These advances are repayable to the joint venture partners based on a percentage of gross revenues from operations commencing from the first year of operations. The advances provided to Karnival are accounted for as investments and classified within Investments and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures equity method investments. There are no other liquidity arrangements, guarantees or other financial commitments between the Company and Karnival. Therefore, the Company’s maximum risk of financial loss is the investment balance and remaining unfunded capital commitment of $2.4 million (HKD 18.7 million) as of December 31, 2024.

Excise tax liability

On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 (the “IR Act”) was signed into federal law. The IR Act provides for, among other things, a new U.S. federal 1% excise tax on certain repurchases of stock by publicly traded U.S. domestic corporations and certain U.S. domestic subsidiaries of publicly traded foreign corporations occurring on or after January 1, 2023. The excise tax is imposed on the repurchasing corporation itself, not its shareholders from which shares are repurchased. The amount of the excise tax is generally 1% of the fair market value of the shares repurchased at the time of the repurchase. However, for purposes of calculating the excise tax, repurchasing corporations are permitted to net the fair market value of certain new stock issuances against the fair market value of stock repurchases during the same taxable year.

In connection with the Business Combination, holders of FAST II Class A Common Stock exercised their right to redeem those shares for a pro rata portion of the cash in the FAST II trust account. These redemptions are subject to the excise tax, and the resulting liability was assumed by the Company in the Business Combination.

On June 28, 2024, the U.S. Treasury Department and IRS today released final regulations that provide guidance regarding reporting and payment of the excise tax on repurchases of corporate stock made after December 31, 2022. However, as a result of Hurricane Milton which impacted Florida taxpayers, the IRS issued tax relief for individuals and business affected by the hurricane. As such, taxpayers have until May 1, 2025 to make the initial excise payment.

Management has reviewed all available evidence, both positive and negative, in determining the need for a valuation allowance with respect to the gross deferred tax assets. In determining the manner in which available evidence should be weighted, management believes that significant uncertainty exists with respect to future realization of the deferred tax assets and has therefore continued to maintain a full valuation allowance.

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, the Company has foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $1.1 million and $1.4 million for tax purposes, which will never expire if unused. The Company did not have any state or local net operating losses, or any foreign tax credit carryforwards, net of valuation allowance.

The Company paid $0.1 million and $0 in income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

There were no unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023. No amounts were accrued for the payment of interest and penalties at December 31, 2024 and 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception. The Company’s policy is to record interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits as additional income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by U.S. federal and certain state, local and foreign tax regulators. At December 31, 2024, U.S. federal tax returns related to Falcon’s Pubco and Opco entities for the years 2020 through 2023 are generally open under the normal statute of limitations and therefore subject to examination. State and local tax returns of our Falcon’s Pubco and Opco entities are generally open to audit for tax year 2021-2023. In addition, certain foreign subsidiaries’ tax returns from 2016 to 2023 are also open for examination by various regulators. The Company files its tax returns as prescribed by the tax laws of the jurisdictions in which it operates. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company does not believe the outcome of any future audit will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

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. On March 27, 2024, 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 in response to the Guggenheim Complaint. In addition, the Company has filed counterclaims against Guggenheim for fraudulent inducement, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, fraudulent misrepresentation and negligent misrepresentation. Guggenheim has moved to dismiss the counterclaims, and the Company has opposed that motion. The case is in its early stages, discovery has commenced, and the Court has set a readiness for trial date for June 28, 2025. Solely as part of the Company’s accounting approach to transaction expenses related to the Business Combination, prior to the Company’s receipt of the Guggenheim Complaint, the Company accrued $11.1 million as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, with respect to the alleged amended engagement agreement with Guggenheim. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself against the claims alleged in the Guggenheim Complaint and contest the amounts Guggenheim asserts are owed.

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 December 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no known events or circumstances that have resulted in a material indemnification liability.

Commitments — As of January 1, 2024, the Company has entered into a commitment with The Hershey Licensing Company (“Hershey”) to develop venues themed with Hershey’s licensed trademarks and intellectual property in at least four locations by 2028.

As of December 31, 2024, the Company has four reportable operating segments as Sierra Parima is no longer a reportable segment following the impairment. 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 segments' 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, selling, general and administrative expenses, research and development expenses, and the share of gain or (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 consolidated financial statement results.

FCG provides master planning, media, interactive and audio production, project management, experiential technology and attraction hardware development services and attraction hardware sales on a work-for-hire model. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreement, FCG is now deconsolidated effective July 27, 2023, and accounted for as an equity method investment in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Effective December 1, 2024, 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 or (loss). To reconcile total segment revenue to the Company's total consolidated revenue, FCG's segment revenue is eliminated. To reconcile Segment income (loss) from operations to the Company's consolidated net income (loss) before taxes, FCG's Segment income (loss) from operations is eliminated and the Company's share of FCG's equity method gain or (loss) is added.

Prior year segment results for FCG have been recast to show FCG segment results on a comparable basis, as if it had been consolidated by the Company for the entire year ended December 31, 2023.

The Company’s equity method investments, PDP and Sierra Parima (before Katmandu Park DR was closed to visitors on March 7, 2024), develop, own and operate hotels, theme parks and retail, dining and entertainment venues. Destinations Operations provides development and management services for themed entertainment to PDP, Sierra Parima and new development opportunities, including our investment in Karnival. The Company collectively refers to the Destinations Operations, PDP and Sierra Parima as Falcon’s Beyond Destinations.

Falcon’s Beyond Brands, which 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.

The warrant liability fair value is based on quoted market prices in active markets, and therefore is classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The earnouts based on revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) as well as the earnouts based on the Company’s stock price were classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy as the fair value was derived using a Monte Carlo simulation analysis in a risk neutral framework, which used a combination of observable (Level 2) and unobservable (Level 3) inputs. Key estimates and assumptions impacting the fair value measurement include the Company’s revenue and EBITDA forecasts as well as the assumptions listed in the tables below.

The Company estimated the fair value per share of the underlying common stock based, in part, on the results of third-party valuations and additional factors deemed relevant. The risk-free interest rate was determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve for time periods approximately equal to the remaining contractual term of the earnouts. The Company has not paid cash dividends and does not intend to do so in the foreseeable future. The payment of any dividends is within the discretion of the Company’s board of directors and will be dependent upon the Company’s revenue and earnings, if any, capital requirements, and general financial condition. Further, the Company’s ability to declare dividends may be limited by the terms of financing or other agreements entered into by us or our subsidiaries from time to time, including certain consent rights in connection with the Strategic Investment.

On September 30, 2024, following the earnout forfeiture, the Company adjusted the fair value of all earnout shares a final time, immediately before the modification (see Note 19 - Earnouts for details on the modification), and ignoring the effect of the modification. The total adjusted liability balance, including the amount associated with the forfeited earnout shares, was reclassified into equity on September 30, 2024. After reclassification into equity, the earnout shares do not require subsequent fair value measurement.

Authorized Capitalization

The total amount of the Company’s authorized capital stock consists of (a) 650,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share consisting of (i) 500,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, (ii) 150,000,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, and (b) 30,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.0001 per share.

Common Stock

The rights of the holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have various terms, as follows:

Each holder of common stock is entitled to one vote for each share of common stock held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. Shares of Class B Common Stock carry the same voting rights as shares of Class A Common Stock but have no economic terms. Class B Common Stock is exchangeable, along with common units of Falcon’s Opco, into Class A Common Stock.

Preferred Stock

There are no outstanding shares of preferred stock as of December 31, 2024 and 2023.

On September 30, 2024, the Company’s board of directors declared a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class A common stock per share of Class A common stock outstanding, paid on December 17, 2024, to stockholders of record as of December 10, 2024 (the “Stock Dividend”). Additionally, as a result of the Stock Dividend, holders of the Company’s Class B common stock received a stock dividend of 0.2 shares of Class B common stock per share of Class B common stock outstanding, and the Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC common units that are issued and outstanding were adjusted to reflect the same economic equivalent of the Stock Dividend. Outstanding warrants, restricted stock units and other equity awards were similarly adjusted in accordance with their terms. All references in the consolidated financial statements to per share amounts, the number Class A and Class B shares issued and outstanding, outstanding warrants, restricted stock units, and other equity awards have been adjusted to reflect the Stock Dividend on a retroactive basis.

The weighted average shares of common stock outstanding used to determine the Company’s Net income (loss) per share reflects the retroactive treatment of the Stock Dividend, in addition to the following:

Earnouts

At the closing of the Business Combination, the Company issued 1,937,500 Earnout Shares in the form of Class A Common Stock and 75,562,500 Earnout Shares in the form of Class B Common Stock. The Earnout Shares were placed into an escrow account for the benefit of certain holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

Earnout Shares were deposited into escrow at Closing to be earned, released and delivered upon satisfaction of, or forfeited and cancelled upon the failure of certain milestones related to the EBITDA and the gross revenue of the Company during periods between July 1, 2023 and December 31, 2024, and the volume weighted average closing sale price of the Company’s shares of Class A Common Stock during the five-year period beginning on the one-year anniversary of the Acquisition Merger and ending on the six-year anniversary of the Acquisition Merger. During the year ended December 31, 2024, 224,857 and 8,775,000 Class A and Class B shares were earned and released, respectively. 312,500 Earnout Shares in the form of Class A Common Stock were forfeited and 12,187,500 Earnout Shares in the form of Class B Common Stock were forfeited.

Prior to September 30, 2024, the Earnout Shares were classified as a liability and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value included in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). On September 30, 2024, earnout participants agreed to forfeit all remaining earnout shares held in escrow, which were to be released and earned based on meeting EBITDA and revenue targets. An aggregate of 437,500 shares of Class A common stock and 17,062,500 shares of Class B common stock and an equal number of Falcon’s Opco units were forfeited in connection with the earnout shares forfeiture.

The forfeiture is treated as a modification of the original earnout agreement. The remaining earnout shares which are to be released and earned based on the Company’s stock price meet the requirements for equity classification after the modification. The Company adjusted the fair value of the earnout shares a final time on September 30, 2024, immediately prior to the modification. The total adjusted liability balance, including the amount associated with the forfeited earnout shares, was reclassified into equity as of September 30, 2024.

Prior to reclassification into equity, the fair value of the earnout liability was $250.1 million and $488.6 million as of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, respectively. After the reclassification to equity, the earnout shares do not require subsequent fair value measurement.

Share-Based Compensation
20.
Share-Based Compensation

The Company adopted a share-based compensation plan (the “Plan”) under which 162,835 RSUs are outstanding. 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.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies [Abstract]  
Use of estimates

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. The Company has prepared the estimates using the most current and best available information that are considered reasonable under the circumstances. However, actual results may differ materially from those estimates. Accounting policies subject to estimates include, but are not limited to, inputs used to recognize revenue over time, inventory valuation, fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in relation to a business combination, deferred tax valuation allowances, the valuation and impairment testing of goodwill and investments in equity method investments, and the valuation of warrant and earnout liabilities.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of three months or less as cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents includes restricted cash held by the Company as required by the credit card arrangement.

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment, net

Property and equipment is stated at historical cost, net of accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. Expenditures that materially increase the life of the assets are capitalized. Routine repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. When an item is retired or sold, the cost and applicable accumulated depreciation are removed, and any resulting gain or loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the asset using the following terms:

 

Equipment

 

3 – 5 years

Furniture

 

7 years

Leasehold improvements

 

Lesser of lease term or asset life

 

Depreciation expense was less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Gross assets of $1.7 million and accumulated depreciation of $0.7 million was deconsolidated with FCG on July 27, 2023.

Deferred transaction costs

Deferred transaction costs

The Company deferred $0.6 million transaction expenses related to a proposed underwritten offering of the Company's Class A common stock (the "Follow-on Offering") as of December 31, 2024, which has not been completed. Deferred transaction costs are included in Other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Costs incurred in connection with the issuance of equity will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital as a reduction to the gross proceeds received upon completion of the Follow-on Offering or charged to operations if the Follow-on Offering is not completed. In connection with the Follow-on Offering, a Registration Statement on Form S-1 has been filed, which remains pending as of April 3, 2025.

Costs incurred in connection with preparation for the Business Combination were expensed as of December 31, 2023.

Investments and advances to equity method investments

Investments and advances to equity method investments

The Company uses the equity method to account for investments in corporate joint ventures when we have the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating decisions of the joint venture. Such investments are initially recorded at cost and subsequently adjusted for our proportionate share of the net earnings or loss of the investee, which is reported in Share of loss from equity method investments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Dividends received, if any, from these joint ventures reduce the carrying amount of our investment.

The Company monitors the equity method investments for impairment and records reductions in their carrying value if the carrying amount of an investment exceeds its fair value. An impairment charge is recorded when such impairment is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To determine whether an impairment is other-than-temporary, we consider our ability and intent to hold the investment until the carrying amount is fully recovered.

Revenue recognition

Revenue recognition

Falcon’s Creative Group

Based on the specific analysis of its contracts, the Company has determined that its contracts are subject to revenue recognition in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). Recognition under the ASC 606 five-step model involves (i) identification of the contract, (ii) identification of performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determination of the transaction price, (iv) allocation of the transaction price to the previously identified performance obligations, and (v) revenue recognition as the performance obligations are satisfied.

During step one of the five step model, the Company considers whether contracts should be combined or separated, and based on this assessment, the Company combines closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria are met. The combination of two or more contracts requires judgment in determining whether the intent of entering into the contracts was effectively to enter into a single contract, which should be combined to reflect an overall profit rate. Similarly, the Company may separate an arrangement, which may consist of a single contract or group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if the applicable criteria are met. Judgment is involved in determining whether a group of contracts may be combined or separated based on how the arrangement and the related performance criteria were negotiated. The conclusion to combine a group of contracts or separate a contract could change the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. The Company’s contracts with customers do not include a right of return relative to delivered products. In certain cases, contracts are modified to account for changes in the contract specifications or requirements. In most instances, contract modifications are accounted for as part of the existing contract. Certain contracts with customers have options for the customer to acquire additional goods or services. In most cases, the pricing of these options are reflective of the standalone selling price of the good or service. These options do not provide the customer with a material right and are accounted for only when the customer exercises the option to purchase the additional goods or services. If the option on the customer contract was not indicative of the standalone selling price of the good or service, the material right would be accounted for as a separate performance obligation.

A significant portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from master planning and design contracts, media production contracts and turnkey attraction contracts. The Company accounts for a contract once it has approval and commitment from all parties, the rights and payment terms of the parties can be identified, the contract has commercial substance and the collectability of the consideration, or transaction price, is probable. Contracts are often subsequently modified to include changes in specifications or requirements, these changes are not accounted for until they meet the requirements noted above. Each promised good or service within a contract is accounted for separately under the guidance of ASC 606, if they are distinct. Promised goods or services not meeting the criteria for being a distinct performance obligation are bundled into a single performance obligation with other goods or services that together meet the criteria for being distinct. The appropriate allocation of the transaction price and recognition of

revenue is then applied for the bundled performance obligation. The Company has concluded that its service contracts generally contain a single performance obligation given the interrelated nature of the activities which are significantly customized and not distinct within the context of the contract.

Once the Company identifies the performance obligations, the Company determines the transaction price, which includes estimating the amount of variable consideration to be included in the transaction price, if any. Certain customer contracts include key performance indicators (“KPI’s”) which are intended to create mechanism to enable the customer to measure performance of the work against specified targets. KPI’s relate to deliverables and specified outputs in relation to the scope of services in the contract. The contracts allow for the customer to assess penalties against the Company when the measure of performance of work against specified targets has not been met in accordance with contract terms. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has not recorded any adjustment to the contract price for penalties, since it does not believe any amounts will be imposed by the customer. Prices are fixed at contract inception and are not generally contingent on performance or any other criteria.

The Company engages in long-term contracts for production and service activities and recognizes revenue for performance obligations over time. These long-term contracts are primarily fixed price and involve the planning, design, and development of attractions. Revenue is recognized over time versus point in time recognition. The Company’s performance creates an asset with no alternative use to the Company and the Company has an enforceable right to payment for performance completed to date. The customer receives the benefit as the Company builds the asset. The Company considers the nature of these contracts and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract.

For long-term contracts, the Company typically recognizes revenue using the input method, using a cost-to-cost measure of progress. The Company believes that this method represents the most faithful depiction of the Company’s performance because it directly measures value transferred to the customer. Contract estimates are based on various assumptions to project the outcome of future events that may span several years. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, the amount of time to complete the contract, including the assessment of the nature and complexity of the work to be performed; the cost and availability of materials; the availability of subcontractor services and materials; and the availability and timing of funding from the customer. The Company bears the risk of changes in estimates to complete on fixed-price contracts, which may cause profit levels to vary from period to period. For over time contracts, the Company recognizes anticipated contract losses as soon as they become known and estimable.

Accounting for long-term contracts requires significant judgment relative to estimating total costs, in particular, assumptions relative to the amount of time to complete the contract, including the assessment of the nature and complexity of the work to be performed. The Company’s estimates are based upon the professional knowledge and experience of its engineers, program managers and other personnel, who review each long-term contract monthly to assess the contract’s schedule, performance, technical matters and estimated cost at completion. Changes in estimates are applied retrospectively and when adjustments in estimated contract costs are identified, such revisions may result in current period adjustments to earnings applicable to performance in prior periods.

On long-term contracts, the portion of the payments retained by the customer is not considered a significant financing component. At contract inception, the Company also expects that the lag period between the transfer of a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will not constitute a significant financing component. Many of the Company’s long-term contracts have milestone payments, which align the payment schedule with the progress towards completion on the performance obligation. On some contracts, the Company may be entitled to receive an advance payment, which is not considered a significant financing component because it is used to facilitate inventory demands at the onset of a contract and to safeguard the Company from the failure of the other party to abide by some or all of their obligations under the contract.

The Company has elected to exclude from the measurement of transaction price all taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are both imposed on and concurrent with a specific revenue-producing transaction and collected by the Company from a customer.

Destinations Operations

The principal sources of revenues for the Destinations Operations segment are resort and theme park management and incentive fees. Resort and theme park management and incentive fees are based on a percentage of revenues and profits, respectively earned by the theme parks during the corresponding period.

Shared Services

 

After the deconsolidation of FCG, the Company continues to provide corporate shared services support to FCG. The Company recognizes revenue related to these services in the amount the Company has a right to invoice. The Company uses the right to invoice practical expedient, as the Company’s right to payment corresponds directly with the value to FCG of the Company’s performance to date.

Digital media license revenue

 

The Company enters into contracts with its customers to license the right to use digital ride media content (“RMC”) for a fixed fee. Revenue is recognized at the point-in-time when the license is transferred to the customer as there are no further performance obligations upon transfer. See Note 10 – Related party transactions.

Transaction expenses

Transaction expenses

Transaction expenses are stated separately in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Transaction expenses include professional services expenditures directly related to business combinations, other investments, and disposals of other assets and liabilities that qualify as a business. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized minimal transaction expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses

Selling, general and administrative expenses include payroll, payroll taxes and benefits for non-project related employee salaries, share-based compensation, taxes, and benefits as well as technology infrastructure, marketing, occupancy, finance and accounting, legal, human resources, and corporate overhead expenses.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses primarily consist of related party vendor costs involved in research and development activities related to the development of new products. Research and development expenses are expensed in the period incurred.

Income taxes

Income taxes

The Company is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal and state income tax purposes and is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes, the Company is allocated local and foreign income taxes from taxable income generated by Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC. Falcon’s Beyond Global, LLC is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and therefore is not subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes except for certain consolidated subsidiaries that are subject to taxation in foreign jurisdictions as a result of their entity classification for tax reporting purposes.

The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets (“DTA”) and deferred tax liabilities (“DTL”) for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements. Under this method, the Company determines DTAs and DTLs on the basis of the differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities by using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse. The effect of a change in tax rates on DTAs and DTLs is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.

The Company recognizes DTAs to the extent that it is believed that these assets are more likely than not to be realized. In making such a determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, projected future taxable income, tax-planning strategies, carryback potential if permitted under the tax law, and results of recent operations. If determined that FBG would be able to realize DTAs in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, FBG would make an adjustment to the DTA valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.

At each balance sheet date, management assesses the need to establish a valuation allowance that reduces deferred income tax assets when it is more likely than not that all, or some portion, of the deferred income tax assets will not be realized. A valuation allowance would be based on all available information including the Company’s assessment of uncertain tax positions and projections of future taxable income and capital gains from each tax-paying component in each jurisdiction, principally derived from business plans and available tax planning strategies.

FBG records uncertain tax positions in accordance with ASC 740, Income Taxes (“ASC 740”) on the basis of a two-step process. The Company will determine whether it is more likely than not that the tax positions will be sustained on the basis of the technical merits of the position and for those tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, FBG recognizes the largest amount of tax benefit that is more than 50 percent likely to be realized upon ultimate settlement with the related tax authority. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to tax positions in income tax expense.

Fair value measurement

Fair value measurement

The Company accounts for certain of its financial assets and liabilities at fair value. The Company uses the following three-level hierarchy, which prioritizes, within the measurement of fair value, the use of market-based information over entity-specific information for fair value measurements based on the nature of inputs used in the valuation of an asset or liability as of the measurement date.

 

Level 1

Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

Level 2

Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and value drivers are observable in active markets.

Level 3

Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability.

 

Fair value focuses on an exit price and is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities which are required to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which the Company would transact and the market-based risk measurements or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, such as risk inherent in valuation techniques, transfer restrictions and credit risks. The inputs or methodology used for valuing financial instruments are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those financial instruments.

The carrying amounts of Cash and cash equivalents, Accounts receivables, Accounts payable and Accrued expenses and other current liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term maturities of these assets and liabilities.

Translation of foreign currencies

Translation of foreign currencies

The functional currency for the Company’s foreign operations is the applicable local currency. The Company translates assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar using the applicable exchange rate as of the consolidated balance sheet dates and the results of operations and cash flows at the average exchange rates during the corresponding reporting period. Gains and losses resulting from the translation of these foreign currencies into U.S. dollars are recorded in foreign currency translation adjustments in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). Transactional gains and losses and the re-measurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities held in non-functional currency of the underlying entity are included in Foreign currency translation gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), respectively.

Related party transactions

Related party transactions

Related parties are comprised of parties which have the ability, directly or indirectly, to control or exercise significant influence over the other party in making financial and operating decisions, and parties under common control. Transactions where there is a transfer of resources or obligations between related parties are disclosed or referenced in Note 10 – Related party transactions.

Net income (loss) per share

Net income (loss) per share

Basic earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share of Class A common stock is computed by dividing net income attributable to the Company, adjusted for the assumed exchange of all potentially dilutive securities by the weighted average number of shares of Class A common stock outstanding adjusted to give effect to potentially dilutive securities, to the extent their inclusion is dilutive to earnings per share.

Warrant liabilities

Warrant liabilities

The Company accounts for warrants assumed in connection with the Business Combination (see Note 1 – Description of business and basis of presentation) in accordance with the guidance contained in ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), under which the warrants do not meet the criteria for equity treatment and must be recorded as liabilities. Accordingly, the Company classifies the warrants as liabilities at their fair value and adjusts the warrants to fair value at the end of each reporting period. The Company remeasures the fair value of the warrants based on the quoted market price of the warrants. The liability is subject to

re-measurement at each Balance Sheet date until exercised, and any change in fair value is recognized in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

Earnout Liability

Earnout Liability

At the closing of the Business Combination, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, certain holders were entitled to receive up to a total of 1,937,500 and 75,562,500 contingent earnout shares (“Earnout Shares”) in the form of Class A and Class B common stock of the Company, respectively. The Earnout Shares were placed into an escrow account for the benefit of certain holders pursuant to the Merger Agreement. See Note 19 - Earnouts for earnout modification.

Incentive Award Plan

Incentive Award Plan

The Company maintains the 2023 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”) under which the Company issued grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) on December 21, 2023, to officers, directors, employees, and non-employees that vest according to a five-year graded vesting schedule where portions of the award vest at different times during the vesting period. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the RSUs in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation — Stock Compensation (“ASC 718”) using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period for the entire award, as long as the participant continues to provide service to the Company. The RSUs are settled in equity and do not grant the Company the ability to settle in cash or transfer other assets. The compensation expense related to the RSUs is based on the estimated fair value of the Company’s Class A Common Stock on the grant date using the closing share price. Furthermore, the Company accounts for forfeitures as they occur and will reverse any compensation expense previously recognized in the period of forfeiture. The Company initially reserved 1,127,196 shares of its Class A Common Stock for the issuance of awards under the 2023 Incentive Plan.

Concentration of credit risk

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of Cash and cash equivalents and Accounts receivable. 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 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.

The Falcon’s Creative Group segment has significant revenue concentration associated with a few customers. The Falcon’s Creative Group segment is now comprised of the Company’s retained equity method investment in FCG. FCG revenue continues to depend on one customer, QIC. FCG had one customer with revenues greater than 10% of total revenue, $52.4 million and $18.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

The Company had one customer with revenue greater than 10% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024 in the amount of $6.2 million (93% of total revenue). Accounts receivable balances with this customer totaled $1.4 million (83% of total Accounts receivable) as of December 31, 2024.

The Company had three customers with revenue greater than 10% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023, $11.1 million for one customer, $3.6 million for the second customer and $2.1 million for the third customer. Accounts receivable balances with these three customers totaled $0.6 million (86% of total Accounts receivable) as of December 31, 2023.

Recently issued accounting standards

Recently issued accounting standards

On November 27, 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-07, “Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures.” This ASU requires additional reportable segment disclosures, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. In addition, the ASU enhances interim disclosure requirements effectively making the current annual requirements a requirement for interim reporting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years

beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2024, the previously reported segment disclosures have been recast to reflect the new presentation under ASU 2023-07 guidance.

Recently issued accounting standards not yet adopted as of December 31, 2024

On December 14, 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09 entitled Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (ASU 2023-09), which is primarily applicable to public companies and requires a significant expansion of the granularity of the income tax rate reconciliation as well as an expansion of other income tax disclosures. ASU 2023-09 requires a company to disclose specific income tax categories within the rate reconciliation table and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold (if the effect of those reconciling items is equal to or greater than 5 percent of the amount computed by multiplying pretax income (or loss) by the applicable statutory income tax rate. There are also additional disclosures related to income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdictions, and to income taxes paid. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. The guidance will be applied on a prospective basis with the option to apply the standard retrospectively. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of ASU 2023-09 on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

In March 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-02, “Codification Improvements-Amendments to Remove References to the Concepts Statements”. The amendments in this Update affect a variety of Topics in the Codification. The amendments apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. This update contains amendments to the Codification that remove references to various Concepts Statements. In most instances, the references are extraneous and not required to understand or apply the guidance. In other instances, the references were used in prior statements to provide guidance in certain topical areas. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The Company is still evaluating the effect of this update on the Company’s financial statements and anticipates no material impact to the consolidated financial statements when adopted in the fiscal year beginning 2025.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, "Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)". The amendments in this Update 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 guidance is effective for the Company in its 2027 annual reporting. The guidance is applied prospectively and may be applied retrospectively. The Company is evaluating the impact of ASU 2024-03.
