Management Commentary
Felix Waller, incoming CEO, commented:
"I am honored to step into the role of Chief Executive Officer of LNTO as we begin this next chapter.

"For years, we have focused on building the foundation. We have refined our operating systems, strengthened our leadership team, expanded our footprint, and continued developing destinations that families enjoy and communities value.
"Today represents the beginning of a new phase focused on disciplined growth, strategic development, and long-term value creation for our shareholders, team members, guests, and communities. Growth is exciting, but structure is what makes growth sustainable. That principle will continue to guide how we build."

"Felix has spent years building more than a company. He has built a platform with operating experience, leadership depth, and a clear point of view on family entertainment.
