Material Changes vs. Prior Period
- Revenue Growth: Total revenue increased 37.4% year-over-year. Attractions revenue rose 19.8% (driven by a 5.0% increase in visitors and 14.2% increase in revenue per visitor), while Hospitality revenue surged 78.5% primarily due to the inclusion of Tabacón.

- Capital Allocation: Management plans capital expenditures of $103 million to $114 million for 2026, with $70 million to $80 million allocated to growth projects. On May 1, 2026, the Board approved a $50 million increase to the share repurchase authorization, leaving $59.6 million available.
