Falcon’s Beyond Global, Inc. is a visionary entertainment and technology enterprise at the forefront of the global experience economy. It designs, develops, engineers, delivers, and commercializes immersive physical and digital experiences for leading brands, developers, and destination operators worldwide, as well as for its own portfolio of entertainment and technology concepts. The company’s track record spans over 26 years supporting more than $144 billion worth of story‑driven development projects across 27 countries and it has received more than 56 prestigious industry awards for its creative and technical achievements. Falcon’s operates through an integrated experience platform that combines creative development, proprietary technologies, advanced engineering, intellectual property, and operational execution to enable the repeatable creation, deployment, and scaling of entertainment experiences across multiple formats and locations globally.
Revenue is generated primarily through three streams. Falcon’s Creative Group earns fees from professional services agreements tied to defined scopes of work and project milestones for destination strategy, master planning, attraction design, digital media, and creative guardianship. Falcon’s Attractions derives income from the design, engineering, manufacture, sale, installation, and after‑market support of proprietary ride systems and attraction hardware, leveraging decades of experience in attraction design and engineering. Falcon’s Beyond Destinations earns management fees, licensing fees, revenue‑sharing arrangements, and equity interests from the development and operation of location‑based entertainment venues and hospitality experiences. Additionally, the company generates revenue from shared services such as accounting, legal, human resources, and information technology provided to its affiliated entities.
The company operates through the following operating segments: Falcon’s Creative Group, Falcon’s Attractions, Falcon’s Beyond Destinations, Producciones de Parques S. L., and Destinations Operations.
• Falcon’s Creative Group: provides creative and advisory services including destination strategy, master planning, experiential and attraction design, digital media, interactive software, intellectual property development, and creative guardianship for entertainment and hospitality destinations, serving both third‑party clients and affiliated entities.
• Falcon’s Attractions: designs, engineers, manufactures, and sells proprietary and customized ride systems, attraction hardware, and related technologies for theme parks, location‑based entertainment venues, and destination developments worldwide; also offers engineering services, fabrication, integration, installation, and after‑market support.
• Falcon’s Beyond Destinations: develops, owns, operates, and expands entertainment venues, hospitality experiences, and branded destination concepts across various location‑based formats using proprietary and third‑party intellectual property; generates revenue via management fees, licensing fees, revenue‑sharing arrangements, and equity interests, focusing on asset‑efficient partnerships and joint ventures.
• Producciones de Parques S. L.: a joint venture that develops and operates hotel and theme park assets, having previously held interests in properties such as the Sol Tenerife Hotel before its disposition in 2025, primarily operating in Spain and other European markets.
• Destinations Operations: manages day‑to‑day operations of destination projects, providing operational oversight, guest services, and facility management for partnered venues to support speed‑to‑market and reduce capital intensity.
Within the experience economy, Falcon’s competes with independent themed‑entertainment design firms, ride‑system manufacturers, and destination operators. Its competitive advantages stem from an integrated platform that links creative intellectual property with proprietary technology and execution capabilities, a portfolio of over 140 issued patents and pending applications covering ride systems, immersive theaters, augmented reality, and gamification platforms, long‑term relationships with sovereign investors such as the Public Investment Fund and Qiddiya Investment Company, and the ability to offer end‑to‑end solutions from concept through operation while scaling concepts globally.
The company serves theme‑park operators, destination developers, hotel chains, leisure operators, museums, zoos, aquariums, cruise lines, media producers, and intellectual‑property holders, as well as its own portfolio. Notable customers include Qiddiya Investment Company and New Murabba Development Company, which together accounted for approximately 60% and 39% of Falcon’s Creative Group revenue in 2025, respectively. Additional clients consist of government‑backed developers, institutional investors, and private operators seeking immersive entertainment solutions.

Investment Thesis
▲ Bull case
Falcon’s Beyond demonstrates a clear path to sustainable profitability through the strategic pivot away from capital-intensive physical destinations toward higher-margin, scalable content and branding divisions, a shift management explicitly endorsed in the earnings release by redirecting capital toward its highest-growth units FCG and FBB while divesting non-core assets like the Sol Tenerife Hotel and Karnival joint venture, which had previously dragged on profitability through impairment charges and volatile equity method investment swings; this reallocation is now bearing fruit as evidenced by the company’s return to GAAP net income of $6.312 million for FY25 despite ongoing macroeconomic headwinds, signaling that the core creative and IP licensing engine is increasingly self-sustaining and less reliant on volatile joint venture performance or destination development cycles.
The appointment of Iraida Que De Vera to the Board of Directors represents an underappreciated catalyst for international expansion, particularly in high-growth markets across Asia and the Middle East, where her decades-long track record in cross-border real estate development and capital stewardship in complex jurisdictions like Manila, Vancouver, Milan, and Las Vegas directly addresses Falcon’s Beyond’s stated reliance on strategic local partners and its ambition to scale immersive experiences globally—her expertise mitigates a key risk factor highlighted in the forward-looking statements concerning dependence on local partners and international execution, while simultaneously unlocking potential joint venture or co-development opportunities in regions like Saudi Arabia and Southeast Asia where government-backed entertainment infrastructure spending is accelerating.
Despite the headline net loss in Q4 FY25, the company’s underlying operational momentum is strengthening, as shown by a sequential revenue surge from $1.361 million in Q4 FY24 to $6.585 million in Q4 FY25—a 384% year-over-year increase—driven by both services ($4.737 million) and product sales ($1.848 million), indicating that the commercialization of its IP and experience design capabilities is gaining traction beyond project-based revenue lags, with contracted pipeline recognition timing (a noted risk in the filing) now beginning to convert to cash flow as evidenced by the growth in contract assets to $3.264 million and accounts receivable to $3.714 million, suggesting that booked work is progressing toward realization and reducing revenue predictability concerns over time.

Falcon’s Beyond remains critically dependent on the performance and valuation of its equity method investments, which continue to introduce extreme volatility into reported earnings—as seen in the massive swing from a $16.959 million gain in FY25 to a $3.121 million loss in FY24—driven largely by unpredictable events such as the sale of interests in the Sol Tenerife Hotel and impairments of joint ventures like Karnival and PDP, meaning that even if FCG and FBB show improvement, the company’s overall profitability remains hostage to external partners’ decisions and asset valuations over which it has limited control, a structural vulnerability underscored by the $5.332 million PDP impairment and $3.005 million Karnival impairment directly impacting Adjusted EBITDA and creating a misleading impression of operational progress when core business trends may be stagnant or deteriorating.
The company’s balance sheet, while showing improved equity on paper, continues to rely heavily on related-party financing and contingent liabilities, with $12.465 million in long-term debt net of current portion and a history of drawing on related-party credit facilities (proceeds of $1.769 million in FY25 alone), raising concerns about true financial independence and the sustainability of its capital structure, especially given the Tax Receivable Agreement obligation tied to its Up-C structure that could trigger substantial future cash outflows to unitholders—a risk explicitly called out in the forward-looking statements and not mitigated by the recent equity raise, which primarily strengthened the balance sheet on paper but did not eliminate off-balance-sheet or conditional financial obligations that could resurface under stress.
Despite management’s emphasis on disciplined growth, selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses remain alarmingly high relative to revenue, consuming 387% of total revenue in Q4 FY25 ($6.382 million SG&A on $6.585 million revenue) and 171% for the full year FY25 ($25.496 million SG&A on $14.896 million revenue), indicating that the company is not yet achieving operating leverage even as it scales, and that SG&A growth is outpacing revenue expansion—a troubling sign that the much-touted shift toward scalable, high-margin divisions like FCG and FBB has not yet translated into meaningful cost discipline, and that the business may remain structurally unprofitable without further, potentially disruptive, cost-cutting measures that could impair growth initiatives.
