On January 9, 2025, the Company completed the acquisition of Torcatt Enterprises Limitada, a holding company that owns and operates two vessels in the Galápagos Islands, expanding the Company’s vessels and guest capacity in one of its core markets, for which the Company paid $16.0 million in cash. The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the results of its operations are included in the consolidated results from the acquisition date. Acquisition related costs for the nine months ended  September 30, 2025 were $0.2 million and are included in general and administrative expenses. The Company recorded $3.3 million in intangible assets related to Galápagos Islands cupos operating rights, $12.1 million of acquired vessels, $1.7 million in other assets, net, and a $1.1 million gain in other income, related to the acquisition. The Company believes that the purchase gain resulted due to regulatory limitations and restrictions on the ability to operate within the Galápagos Islands national park and the seller’s shift in focus regarding operating in the region. The revenue and operating income contributed by the acquisition during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 were not material.
