DENVER -- (Business Wire)

Pursuit Attractions and Hospitality, Inc. (“Pursuit”) (NYSE: PRSU) today reported strong first quarter 2026 results, reaffirmed full year guidance, and announced significant share repurchases, reflecting sustained demand for its iconic destinations, a disciplined focus on guest experience, and confidence in its strategy and operating model.

“We delivered record first quarter results and continue to execute against our Vision 2030 strategy with a consistent and disciplined playbook that has delivered double-digit compound annual growth over the past decade,” said David Barry, Pursuit president and chief executive officer. “We are delivering business growth through our relentless focus on team member and guest experience, and we’re investing in ourselves through low-risk growth investments in well-instrumented businesses to make experiences better and guests happier, which in turn drives profitability. Additionally, we continue to actively pursue acquisitions to broaden our portfolio of experiential infrastructure in iconic locations while opportunistically repurchasing stock at compelling valuations.”

First Quarter 2026 Highlights

• 37% revenue growth and strong margin improvement in record first quarter
• Strong demand for Pursuit’s experiential infrastructure supported yield growth of 5% in same-store attraction effective ticket prices and 6% in same-store lodging RevPAR
• Tabacón’s performance exceeded expectations with RevPAR and attraction visitor growth, reinforcing Pursuit’s acquisition strategy
• Reaffirmed full year 2026 growth outlook, supported by sustained demand for experiential travel in iconic destinations and positive booking pace for peak season
• Advanced transformational growth projects across the portfolio
• Completed $25.2 million in share repurchases during the quarter, and $40.4 million in aggregate as of May 6, 2026, at attractive valuations
• Expanded share repurchase authorization by $50 million, for a total of $59.6 million remaining available

First Quarter 2026 Financial Performance

• Pursuit delivered record first quarter revenue of $51.6 million for 2026, representing an increase of 37.4% year-over-year. This growth primarily reflected strong demand across our portfolio of year-round iconic experiences, including Tabacón, which we acquired in July 2025.
• Net loss attributable to Pursuit was $24.9 million for the seasonally slow first quarter. The year-over-year improvement from the first quarter 2025 net loss attributable to Pursuit of $31.1 million was primarily driven by lower transaction-related costs from the GES sale and stronger revenue.
• First quarter adjusted net loss* was $26.2 million ($(0.94) per share) for 2026 versus $26.9 million ($(0.96) per share) for 2025. The year-over-year improvement primarily reflects higher Adjusted EBITDA*, partially offset by a lower amount of seasonal first quarter losses being allocated to noncontrolling interests.
• Adjusted EBITDA* was negative $14.9 million for the seasonally slow first quarter 2026. The year-over-year improvement from the first quarter 2025 negative Adjusted EBITDA* of $17.5 million was primarily driven by higher revenue, with strong margin improvement, supported by the positive contribution from Tabacón and continued cost discipline.

* Refer to Table Two of this press release for a discussion and reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.

In addition to the commentary above, further information regarding Pursuit's financial results, trends, and outlook are available in a supplemental earnings presentation, which can be accessed on the "Investors" section of the company's website, and in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

March 31, 2026 Balance Sheet and Liquidity Highlights

• Total liquidity was $170.3 million at March 31, 2026, comprising cash and cash equivalents of $35.4 million** and $134.9 million of capacity available on the company’s $300 million revolving credit facility.
• Total debt was $236.4 million** and the net leverage ratio was 1.5x at March 31, 2026, below the company’s target range of 2.0x to 3.5x.
  • On a pro forma basis for the pending sale of Flyover, the company’s net leverage ratio at March 31, 2026 was less than 1x.
• Pursuit repurchased $25.2 million of common stock during the first quarter, and $40.4 million in aggregate at an average price of $35.40 per share. On May 1, 2026, the company’s Board of Directors approved a $50 million increase in Pursuit’s share repurchase authorization, which brings the total remaining available for future repurchases to $59.6 million.

** Cash and debt amounts shown here are inclusive of Flyover cash and debt balances of $0.9 million and $13.9 million, respectively, which have been classified as held for sale on our balance sheet.

Flyover Sale for $78.4 Million Expected to Close in May 2026

On January 21, 2026, Pursuit entered into an agreement to sell its Flyover Attractions business to Brogent Technologies Inc. for approximately $78.4 million, subject to customary adjustments, representing an implied multiple of approximately 15x Flyover’s 2025 Adjusted EBITDA contribution. The transaction is expected to close in May 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and customary closing conditions. This divestiture further sharpens Pursuit’s strategic focus on its core portfolio of iconic sightseeing attractions and destination-anchored hospitality in the world’s most compelling destinations. The proceeds will be used to reduce revolver debt and reinvest into high-return organic growth projects and strategic acquisitions aligned with Pursuit’s core strategy.

2026 Outlook

“We are reaffirming our full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance based on our solid first quarter and sustained positive indicators of consumer demand across our experiences and destinations for the balance of the year. We remain confident in our 2026 outlook,” said Barry.

The company’s guidance is below.

Adjusted EBITDA guidance of $123 million to $133 million represents growth of approximately 9% at the mid-point relative to 2025. Full year 2025 includes $38.6 million of revenue and $5.2 million of Adjusted EBITDA contribution from Flyover, while the full year 2026 guidance assumes the Flyover business is sold in May 2026. When adjusting to exclude Flyover results from both 2025 and 2026, Pursuit’s mid-point guidance reflects growth of approximately 10% in revenue and 14% in Adjusted EBITDA.

During 2026, Pursuit expects to invest approximately $70 million to $80 million in organic growth capital expenditures, as it moves forward with major planned investments that have a total commitment of approximately $200 million. These projects are part of the company’s Vision 2030 strategy to deploy more than $300 million into high-returning organic growth investments in well-instrumented existing businesses that enhance the guest experience. The company expects to achieve an effective Adjusted EBITDA multiple of less than 7x by 2030 from these investments, with outsized organic growth beginning in 2028 as certain projects are completed.

The company’s 2026 growth capex guidance range has been reduced relative to its prior guidance due to a shift in expected timing of cash outlays as it continues to actively work through approvals and planning.

Select 2026 Organic Growth Investments (Subject to Approvals) Include:

• Jasper SkyTram (Jasper National Park) - Elevating the arrival-to-summit guest experience and strengthening must-do position in Jasper National Park.
• Banff Gondola (Banff National Park) - Elevating the guest experience at this iconic Banff attraction, including the recent expansion of its top-rated Sky Bistro summit dining experience.
• Denali Backcountry Adventure Relaunch (Denali National Park) - Reintroducing a premium, high margin wildlife safari experience deep in Denali National Park when road access reopens in 2027.
• Forest Park Hotel Woodland Wing (Jasper National Park) - Phased renovation to capture higher-end and year-round demand in Jasper National Park, with the first phase driving a 22% ADR lift and the final phase to be completed ahead of 2026 peak summer season.
• Grouse Mountain Lodge (Whitefish, Montana) - Phased renovation to elevate and reposition the property to capture higher-end and year-round demand near Glacier National Park with the first phase to be completed in 2026.
• Lobstick Lodge (Jasper National Park) - Planned investments to improve and reposition the year-round lodge in Jasper to capitalize on high market demand from both consumer and tour and travel segments.

Pursuit’s guidance is based on certain assumptions, including (1) organic growth from continued guest experience improvements, demand for authentic experiential travel in iconic places, and focus on revenue and cost management, (2) approximately $7 million to $8 million of incremental Adjusted EBITDA from the Tabacón acquisition completed on July 1, 2025, (3) approximately $0.5 million of Adjusted EBITDA contribution from Flyover assuming the sale closes in May 2026, (4) minimal impact from multi-year growth capital expenditures in 2026, and (5) an exchange rate of $0.73 between the Canadian Dollar and the U.S. Dollar for Pursuit’s operations in Canada.

*Pursuit has not quantitatively reconciled its guidance for Adjusted EBITDA to the company’s most comparable GAAP financial measure because certain reconciling items that impact this metric, including provision for income taxes, interest expense, restructuring or impairment charges, transaction-related costs, and start-up costs have not occurred, are out of the company’s control, or cannot be reasonably predicted. Accordingly, reconciliations to the nearest GAAP financial measure are not available without unreasonable effort. Please note that the unavailable reconciling items could significantly impact Pursuit’s results as reported under GAAP.

Availability of Information on Pursuit Website

PURSUIT ATTRACTIONS AND HOSPITALITY, INC. ("PURSUIT")
TABLE TWO - NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (UNAUDITED)

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

This document includes the presentation of "Adjusted Net Income (Loss)", “Adjusted EPS”, "Adjusted EBITDA", and “Adjusted EBITDA Margin”, which are supplemental to results presented under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP measures are utilized by management to facilitate period-to-period comparisons and analysis of Pursuit’s operating performance and should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes for, other similar measures reported in accordance with GAAP. The use of these non-GAAP financial measures is limited, compared to the most comparable GAAP measures, because they do not consider a variety of items affecting Pursuit’s consolidated financial performance as reconciled below. Because these non-GAAP measures do not consider all items affecting Pursuit’s consolidated financial performance, a user of Pursuit’s financial information should consider net income (loss) attributable to Pursuit as an important measure of financial performance because it provides a more complete measure of the Company’s performance.

Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin are considered useful operating metrics, in addition to net income (loss) attributable to Pursuit, as potential variations arising from non-operational expenses/income are eliminated, thus resulting in additional measures considered to be indicative of Pursuit’s performance. Management believes that the presentation of Adjusted Net Income (Loss), Adjusted EPS, Adjusted EBITDA, and Adjusted EBITDA Margin provides useful information to investors regarding Pursuit’s results of operations for trending, analyzing, and benchmarking the performance and value of Pursuit’s business.

Additionally, the company calculates the impact of foreign exchange rate variances by converting non-United States Dollar results using comparative period exchange rates and determining the change from prior period reported results.
