Noncontrolling Interest – Redeemable and Non-redeemable

NOTE 20. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS - REDEEMABLE AND NON-REDEEMABLE

Redeemable noncontrolling interest

On November 3, 2017, we acquired the controlling interest (54.5% of the common stock) in Esja, a private corporation in Reykjavik, Iceland. Subsequent to additional capital contributions, our equity ownership increased to 56.4% as of June 30, 2025. Through Esja and its wholly-owned subsidiary, we operate the Flyover Iceland attraction.

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

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

Non-redeemable noncontrolling interest

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

Changes in the non-redeemable noncontrolling interest are as follows:
