NOTE 2. REVENUE AND RELATED CONTRACT LIABILITIES

Contract Liabilities

The Company’s performance obligations are short-term in nature and include the provision of a hotel room, an attraction admission, a chartered or ticketed bus or van ride, and/or the sale of food, beverage, or retail products. The Company recognizes revenue when the service has been provided or the product has been delivered. When credit is extended, payment terms are generally within 30 days and contain no significant financing components.

A contract liability represents an entity’s obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the entity has received consideration from the customer before transferring control of those goods or services. The Company periodically receives customer deposits prior to transferring the related product or service to the customer, which are recorded as “Contract liabilities” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The contract liabilities are recognized as revenue upon satisfaction of the related contract performance obligation(s). Contract liabilities were $14.5 million and $12.4 million as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The contract liabilities as of December 31, 2024 were primarily recognized in revenue during the year ended December 31, 2025.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
