Interested in Venu Holding Corporation? Here are five stocks we like better. Venu’s assets rose 38% to $511.8 million as of June 30, while six-month revenue increased 7% year over year to $8.5 million. Cumulative Luxe FireSuite and Aikman Club sales exceeded $278 million. The company identified a potential path to more than $150 million in non-dilutive C-PACE financing for its Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and McKinney, Texas, venues, supported by bridge loans to keep construction moving. Venu expects Broken Arrow to open in roughly 90 days and McKinney in March, with the first six venues projected to generate $125 million to $130 million in stabilized operating EBITDA. Management expects to reach profitability in the second or early third quarter of 2027. Venu (NYSEAMERICAN:VENU) reported higher assets, property and equipment, and FireSuite sales during its fiscal second quarter, as the live-entertainment venue developer continued construction on projects in Oklahoma and Texas and outlined its expected path toward profitability in 2027. The company said total assets reached $511.8 million as of June 30, up $141.2 million, or 38%, from $370.5 million at the end of 2025. Property and equipment increased 46% to $446.2 million. → Lumentum Just Delivered the AI Growth Investors Wanted For the six months ended June 30, Venu reported revenue of $8.5 million, compared with $8 million in the corresponding period a year earlier, representing a 7% increase. Founder, Chairman and CEO J.W. Roth said the company made progress across its development portfolio during the quarter, including an announced expansion into Chattanooga, Tennessee, at The Bend, a site located along the Tennessee River. Venu is also in discussions regarding a potential destination in Northern Colorado. → Ryman Checks Into a $1.38B Hospitality Upgrade Roth said the company is in conversations with more than 45 municipalities regarding potential Venu developments, though he noted that the company does not expect to advance every discussion. Venu also announced Regent Bank as naming-rights partner for its amphitheater outside Tulsa, Oklahoma. Roth described the agreement as a multiyear, multimillion-dollar partnership expected to add high-margin revenue. The company also engaged Legends Global to operate Regent Bank Amphitheater and added Ron Bension as a strategic advisor. → Joby’s Defense Pivot Accelerates With $500M Resonant Sciences Deal The company joined the Russell 3000 and Russell 2000 indexes during the quarter, a move Roth said expands its visibility among institutional investors. Since the end of the quarter, Venu identified a potential path to more than $150 million in C-PACE financing for its Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, and McKinney, Texas, projects. Roth said the financing is expected to cover the remaining construction balances for both developments. He described C-PACE as non-dilutive, long-term, fixed-rate capital secured through a property-tax assessment rather than a lien on corporate assets. The financing is expected to be funded in tranches, with the timing tied to the projects’ openings. Venu also arranged two bridge loans, including one from Ryan LLC, which Roth said would allow construction to continue before permanent C-PACE financing closes. The bridge loans are structured to be repaid with C-PACE proceeds, according to Roth. “Together, this gives us a financing stack that is projected to carry both venues through completion,” Roth said. Chief Financial Officer Heather Atkinson said Luxe FireSuite and Aikman Club sales exceeded $278 million cumulatively as of June 30 across existing and in-development venues. The company recorded approximately $30 million in Luxe FireSuite sales during the quarter, with its triple-net model accounting for about 76% of those sales. Roth said FireSuite sales had surpassed $285 million as of the earnings call date. He also cited outside coverage pointing to consumers’ increased spending on experiences and recurring access, which he said supported the company’s FireSuite model. Atkinson said net tangible assets equaled $4.44 per common share under the company’s reported balance-sheet basis. She said contributed municipal real estate is carried at a zero cost basis rather than market value. On a mark-to-market basis, the company estimated net tangible assets at $9.58 per share as of June 30, while estimating an as-completed portfolio value of $1.24 billion, or $17.44 per share in net tangible assets. Roth said Venu expects Broken Arrow to open in roughly 90 days. The company has begun booking the venue, with more than 25 holds and available dates on the calendar, he said. Roth projected approximately $22 million in first-year EBITDA for the venue, rising to roughly $25 million at stabilization. McKinney is anticipated to be completed in March, according to Roth. He said the venue has roughly 20 to 25 holds and available dates and is projected to generate $38 million to $39 million in EBITDA in its first year, increasing to approximately $45 million to $46 million at stabilization. Roth said Venu expects its first six venues, including Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, to generate total operating EBITDA of approximately $125 million to $130 million once fully developed. He projected that the company could reach profitability during the second or early third quarter of 2027 and said Venu may be able to provide financial guidance around March 2027 based on its bookings. The CEO acknowledged that losses through the current period and the next several quarters are expected as Venu funds construction and pre-opening expenses. He said the company expects to bring approximately $600 million in assets online between now and the first quarter of 2027. For The Hall at Centennial, Roth said Venu still targets 80 to 100 events annually. The venue is expected to host approximately 2,500-capacity programming as well as comedy, theater and other events.

Since quarter end, we've also sharpened how we finance venues to completion, as we aim to move away from sale-leaseback to C-PACE financing, which keeps our real estate on the balance sheet and minimizes shareholder dilution, bridged by a short-term loan with Ryan LLC and a debenture financing that are both structured to be retired after C-PACE closes.

Sunset Amphitheater McKinney is right behind it, where construction continues to move rapidly. We look forward to sharing more in the weeks ahead."

Words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," "predict," "forecast," "project," "plan," "intend" or similar expressions, or statements regarding intent, belief, or current expectations, are forward-looking statements. While Venu believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on any such forward-looking statements, which are based on information available to us on the date of this release. These forward-looking statements are based upon current estimates and assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those set forth in the company’s filings with the SEC, not limited to Risk Factors relating to its business contained therein. Thus, actual results could be materially different. Venu expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter statements whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Non-GAAP Financial Measures (1) Net Tangible Asset Value Per Common Share Net Tangible Asset Value Per Common Share, as presented, is a non-GAAP financial measure. We define Net Tangible Asset Value Per Common Share as total assets, excluding intangible assets, less total liabilities, divided by common shares outstanding. Management believes this measure provides useful information regarding the tangible asset value attributable to holders of the Company’s common shares and may assist investors in evaluating the Company’s financial position and the value of its tangible assets on a per-share basis. Net Tangible Asset Value Per Common Share may also be useful when considering values based on mark to market basis or as-completed appraisal basis. Appraisal Disclosures (2) These appraisals used the cost basis, income, and comparable sales approaches to valuation and, after reconciliation, came to the appraised values of the properties. These approaches to valuation are commonly used approaches to value for appraisal of commercial properties, as opposed to assigning a valuation on the properties based solely on the cost basis of the properties. The total appraisal includes two Colorado Springs parcels later sold through sale-leaseback transactions: a 5.5-acre parking lot, appraised at $9.2 million and sold in November 2025 for $14 million, and a 9.5-acre lot, appraised and sold at approximately $50 million and sold in June 2026. It is important to understand that the appraisal of VENU’s properties takes into account, among other factors, the valuation of the Company’s real estate and developments at a specific point in time, and the appraised value is subject to (and likely to) change at any time, whether it increases or decreases, and such changes could be caused by macro and micro factors over which we have no control. The appraisal of the property portfolio is only an estimate of its value as to the date of the appraisal and based only on the specific appraisal methodologies and should not be relied upon as a measure of its realized value or the value at which any property could be sold to a third party. Other appraisal methodologies may yield materially different appraised value. Furthermore, the appraised value of the properties differs from the values assigned to it under generally accepted accounting principles in the United Stated ("GAAP"), which require the values of the properties to be valued at their cost basis for financial presentation purposes, and therefore the appraised values represent an unaudited measure that may not represent fair value, as defined under GAAP, and such values and appraisals are not, and will not be, subject to audit or other review procedures by our outside independent accountants. The opinions expressed in the appraisal are based on estimates and forecasts that are prospective in nature and subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Events may occur that could cause the performance of the properties to materially differ from the estimates utilized by the appraiser, such as changes in the economy, interest rates, capitalization rates, the financial strength of the live-music and entertainment industries, and the behavior of event attendees, investors, lenders, and municipalities. The Company reviews each appraisal of its properties to confirm that the information provided to the appraiser is accurately reflected in the appraisal, but it does not validate the methodologies, inputs, and professional judgment utilized by the certified appraiser.

Luxury ownership sales campaign with shareholder and partner Troy Aikman, generating non-dilutive capital to fund venue development and reduce reliance on traditional financing COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., July 06, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Venu® Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the "Company") (NYSE American: VENU), owner, operator, and developer of premium live entertainment destinations, today reported that it completed its first full quarter of its national Luxe FireSuite® and Aikman Club ownership sales campaign featuring VENU shareholder Troy Aikman, generating approximately $29.8 million in gross ownership sales and commitments across the quarter. The Company recorded gross ownership sales of approximately $11.3 million in June, the highest sales month during the current campaign, underscoring accelerating demand for VENU’s luxury ownership opportunities as new venue opening dates approach. Cumulative sales across the Company’s ownership programs have now surpassed $278 million. VENU® expects to exceed June’s record total in July as it moves closer to key milestones, including an expected fall 2026 opening for Regent Bank Amphitheater in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma and an expected first-quarter 2027 opening for Sunset Amphitheater in McKinney, Texas. Proceeds from FireSuite and Aikman Club ownership sales represent a financing mechanism rather than operating revenue. These transactions are recorded on the Company’s balance sheet and are used to fund venue development. As ownership sales continue to accelerate, they reduce the Company’s reliance on traditional and non-traditional lending, lowering leverage and strengthening VENU’s path to opening its venues. "We just closed one of the strongest quarters of ownership sales in company history," said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU. "Every dollar we raise through our triple net ownership sales is capital that funds our venues’ development. At our current build rate and with our projected opening dates, I expect us to reach $1 billion in net tangible assets on a mark to market basis over the next 12 months, with venues open during fiscal 2027 ramping toward operational profitability. We are on a clear path to opening these buildings and delivering for shareholders and fans alike." VENU continues to execute across multiple financing pillars, including its luxury ownership programs, public-private partnerships, and sale-leaseback transactions, as it builds out its national portfolio of premium amphitheaters and live entertainment destinations.

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Release Date: May 15, 2026 For the complete transcript of the earnings call, please refer to the full earnings call transcript. Venu Holding Corp (VENU) has developed a capital-efficient model for financing venue construction, leveraging public-private partnerships, pre-sale of fractional ownerships, and sale-leaseback transactions. The company reported a significant increase in total assets, reaching $461 million as of March 31, 2026, up 25% from the previous quarter. VENU has secured over $260 million in sales from its Luxe Fire Suite and Aikman Club offerings, demonstrating strong investor interest. The company has established partnerships with major brands like PepsiCo and Aramark Sports & Entertainment, enhancing its brand value and revenue potential. VENU's innovative venue design, featuring multi-seasonal and multi-configurational spaces, aims to host up to 100 shows annually, significantly more than traditional amphitheaters. Despite the increase in total assets, the real estate contributed by municipalities is not fully reflected in the financials due to GAAP accounting rules. The company is currently in a capital-intensive phase, which may strain financial resources if not managed carefully. Some of VENU's operating venues, like the Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse and Tavern locations, faced headwinds in Q1, including softer traffic and weather-related closures. The company is still in the early stages of its venue development, with ongoing construction and planning in several locations, which may pose execution risks. VENU's revenue growth was modest, with a 11% increase year-over-year, indicating potential challenges in scaling operations quickly. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 4 Warning Signs with VENU.

Roth, CEO) Q: Can you elaborate on the momentum in partnerships and how the sponsorship portfolio might grow as the business scales? A: We're seeing strong momentum in partnerships, with over $100 million in negotiated and contractual partnership revenue already secured.

This revenue stream is high margin, recurring, and scalable. (Terry Liebler, President of Growth and Strategy) Q: Could you explain more about the development plans in Chattanooga and Northern Colorado? A: In Chattanooga, we're developing a venue on the Tennessee River as part of a mixed-use project called The Bend. It's a strategic location between Nashville, Atlanta, and Knoxville.

A: The Ford Amphitheater has been a successful proof of concept, demonstrating the demand for elevated fan experiences.

Roth, CEO) Q: How are you addressing the challenges faced by your Bourbon Brothers Smokehouse and Tavern locations? A: We experienced some headwinds due to softer traffic and weather-related closures. However, we're refining menus and programming strategies to align with customer preferences and drive traffic and revenue. Every operational decision is made with scalability in mind.

Total Assets Increased to $461.3 Million, Up 25% from Year-End 2025 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., May 15, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Venu Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the "Company") (NYSE American: VENU), owner, operator, and developer of premium live entertainment destinations, today announced results for its fiscal first quarter ended March 31, 2026 "We had a busy start to fiscal 2026, with significant progress executing on our strategy to bring a new asset class to live entertainment," said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of VENU®. "Conversations with municipalities continue to gain momentum, with more than 45 municipalities currently in active discussion about bringing a VENU concept into their city limits. And subsequent to quarter end we announced a new planned development at the Bend in Chattanooga, Tennessee, which we believe represents a tremendous opportunity for the VENU brand. As we look back on the fiscal first quarter, we are proud of the progress we have made. Our total assets increased to $461.3 million, up 25% from year-end, as we continue to get closer to completing our new state-of-the-art immersive venues. On the sponsorship front, we announced a new multi-year partnership with PepsiCo as our official beverage partner across our portfolio of Sunset Amphitheater venues, as well as an expanded partnership with Aramark Sports and Entertainment. On the capital front we closed an $86.25 million equity capital raise in one of the most volatile market stretches in recent history. We also launched several new product offerings for our Luxe FireSuites™, to meet demand at all levels and support continued development of our venues. Looking ahead, our model is working. The conviction has never been stronger. And the plan is being executed at every level. We are excited for what is next."

Luxe FireSuite and Aikman Club sales reached more than $260 million in sales since launching the program. Demand for the product, and for our newly launched NNN model prompted the recent launch of a $300+ million NNN portfolio available to both venue patrons and real estate investors across the nation, with Troy Aikman as the Company’s spokesperson. Luxe FireSuite sales through the Company's NNN model accounted for approximately 47% of total Luxe FireSuite sales for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

(1) Appraisal Disclosures These appraisals used the cost basis, income, and comparable sales approaches to valuation and, after reconciliation, came to the appraised values of the properties. These approaches to valuation are commonly used approaches to value for appraisal of commercial properties, as opposed to assigning a valuation on the properties based solely on the cost basis of the properties. The total appraisal for the Colorado Springs campus includes a 5.5-acre parking lot that was later sold through a sale-leaseback transaction in November 2025 for $14 million. At the time of the original appraisal, that parcel was valued at $9.2 million. It is important to understand that the appraisal of VENU’s properties takes into account, among other factors, the valuation of the Company’s real estate and developments at a specific point in time, and the appraised value is subject to (and likely to) change at any time, whether it increases or decreases, and such changes could be caused by macro and micro factors over which we have no control. The appraisal of the property portfolio is only an estimate of its value as to the date of the appraisal and based only on the specific appraisal methodologies and should not be relied upon as a measure of its realized value or the value at which any property could be sold to a third party. Other appraisal methodologies may yield materially different appraised value. Furthermore, the appraised value of the properties differs from the values assigned to it under generally accepted accounting principles in the United Stated ("GAAP"), which require the values of the properties to be valued at their cost basis for financial presentation purposes, and therefore the appraised values represent an unaudited measure that may not represent fair value, as defined under GAAP, and such values and appraisals are not, and will not be, subject to audit or other review procedures by our outside independent accountants. The opinions expressed in the appraisal are based on estimates and forecasts that are prospective in nature and subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Events may occur that could cause the performance of the properties to materially differ from the estimates utilized by the appraiser, such as changes in the economy, interest rates, capitalization rates, the financial strength of the live-music and entertainment industries, and the behavior of event attendees, investors, lenders, and municipalities. The Company reviews each appraisal of its properties to confirm that the information provided to the appraiser is accurately reflected in the appraisal, but it does not validate the methodologies, inputs, and professional judgment utilized by the certified appraiser.   View source version on businesswire.com: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260515020314/en/ Contacts Investor RelationsSarah Rothschild, [email protected] Media RelationsChloe Polhamus, [email protected]

Venu closed an $86 million raise and reported its portfolio was independently appraised at $1.24 billion as‑completed, while total assets on the balance sheet grew to $370 million, reflecting rapid balance‑sheet expansion. Luxe FireSuite and Aikman Club sales surged to $126 million in 2025 (up 62% YoY) with the new triple‑net leaseback model representing about 25% of those sales, even as consolidated revenue remained roughly flat at $17 million for the year. Venue development and booking momentum accelerated—amphitheater revenue rose 94% YoY, Ford Amphitheatre received Billboard recognition, and multiple venues are coming online (Tulsa this fall, Broken Arrow in fall 2026, McKinney in early 2027) with strong advance booking activity. Interested in Venu Holding Corporation? Here are five stocks we like better. Venu (NYSEAMERICAN:VENU) outlined a year of significant asset growth, expanded partnerships, and continued venue development during its full-year and fourth-quarter 2025 earnings call, while executives also addressed stock valuation concerns and provided a booking outlook for the 2026 amphitheater season. Founder, Chairman, and CEO J.W. Roth described 2025 as a year in which the company became “smarter, faster, more deliberate” about partnerships and where it deploys capital. Roth said the company closed an $86 million raise and reported that its portfolio was independently appraised at $1.24 billion on an as-completed basis, which he characterized as “just north of $12 a share, fully diluted.” → 3 Utility Stocks With Strong Dividends and Room to Run Higher Roth also pointed to rapid balance sheet growth, saying Venu had moved “from $83 million on the balance sheet to over $370 million on our balance sheet in the last 24 months.” He added that construction progress continued, noting that “steel went up” in both McKinney and Tulsa. According to Roth, Tulsa is targeting an opening “this coming fall,” with McKinney expected to follow “in the first quarter of 2027.” He also referenced a groundbreaking in El Paso. On the sales side, Roth highlighted Fire Suite sales of $126 million, up 62% year over year, and said the company’s triple-net model—launched in mid-2025—represented 25% of sales despite not existing a year earlier. Roth also said Venu planned to launch “the most ambitious sales campaign in our company’s history” on April 15, describing it as a nationwide effort across multiple forms of media. → Why Meta's "Bellwether" Legal Loss Could Open up a Can of Worms Will Hodgson, President, focused on booking and touring trends, starting with Ford Amphitheatre. Hodgson said amphitheater revenue grew 94% year over year, attributing the increase to 2024 being a partial season versus a full season running April through October in 2025. He said Venu expects in 2026 to “grow both the number of shows and the average ticket price year-over-year.” Hodgson also noted that Ford Amphitheatre was named to Billboard’s 2026 Top Music Venues list, appearing alongside venues such as Sphere, O2 Arena, and Allegiant Stadium, and said that recognition “changes conversations.” → 3 Edge AI Stocks to Watch as the Next Wave of AI Demand Builds Looking ahead, Hodgson said the Broken Arrow venue was “taking shape very quickly,” with a fall 2026 opening target. He said the company expected to begin announcing shows and putting events on sale within the next 6 to 8 weeks, and noted the venue is “an open room” with agreements in place with Live Nation and other promoters. Hodgson also said Venu’s planned 20,000-seat amphitheater in McKinney was “not far behind,” and that the company is already in early booking conversations with Live Nation for the Texas venue. In response to a question about 2026 industry conditions, Roth said the amphitheater season was “soft” industrywide last year, but he is seeing the opposite in 2026, with “more artists touring amps this year than there was last year,” which he described as a “fairly strong amp season.” Hodgson added that, versus last year’s pacing, “the amount of offers and pending offers out there is nearly double what we had last year.” He said Venu expected “another 15” shows over the next couple of months at Ford Amphitheatre and described ticket prices as “relatively flat” depending on the show, while noting per-show pacing in ticket sales was better than last year. For Tulsa, Hodgson said interest is strong given artists’ desire to open a building, and Venu may do “between 3 and 5 large outdoor shows, could be more” ahead of indoor configuration use as it targets a fall opening. He also pointed to “alternative programming” such as community events and movie nights as the company seeks to increase venue utilization. Vic Sutter, Chief Operating Officer, said 2025 was a year of “deliberate refinement” across the existing portfolio, with a focus on fan experience, margins, and scalability. Sutter said Notes Theater in Colorado Springs closed in July 2025, describing the move as discipline around prioritizing resources because the asset “did not fit the profile long term.” Sutter said Venu’s two music halls in Colorado Springs and Gainesville delivered “hundreds of ticketed events” in 2025, consistent with prior years, and said Gainesville continued to build momentum with artists and fans. He said Colorado Springs experienced softer venue rentals, and outlined steps being taken to address that, including refreshed programming strategies, hiring “a high-caliber director of private event sales,” and enhancing private event packages. He also highlighted the opening of The Ford, described as a $4.5 million Sunset Hospitality Group development adjacent to Ford Amphitheater, anchored by Roxy & Steak and Brohan’s, an upscale cocktail lounge. Sutter said Roxy & Steak opened in November with a sold-out grand opening weekend and has been recognized among the best wine programs in the Americas. He also said Venu aligned with experiential design firm Dimensional Innovations, referencing its work on Intuit Dome and Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Terri Liebler, President of Growth and Strategy, detailed multiple partnerships and investments. She said PepsiCo became the official beverage partner of Venu’s Sunset Amphitheater portfolio. She added that Aramark Sports + Entertainment expanded to five venues and made “an additional equity investment in the company,” and that Tixr became the ticketing and commerce partner across four indoor music halls, also backed by “their own capital commitment to Venu.” Liebler also cited additional relationships, including Sands Investment Group, Dimensional Innovations, Billboard, and Boston Common Golf. Liebler said naming rights represent a significant revenue opportunity and that conversations are “well underway,” though she said the company was not ready to announce details. She also pointed to artists and athletes involved with the company, stating that Niall Horan and Dierks Bentley are shareholders and founding members of Venu’s advisory council, and that Troy Aikman is a partner, shareholder, and Fire Suite owner. Chief Financial Officer Heather Atkinson reported that total assets rose to $370 million as of December 31, 2025, up $192 million, or 108%, from $178 million at December 31, 2024. Atkinson noted that several municipality developments sit at a $0 cost basis on the balance sheet because they are contributed assets recorded at basis under GAAP, rather than at mark-to-market value. She said the company’s $1.24 billion as-completed appraisal “reflects a more complete picture” of the portfolio’s value. Atkinson said property and equipment increased to $305 million as of December 31, 2025, up 123% from $137 million at the end of 2024. She also reiterated that Luxe FireSuite and Aikman Club sales reached $126 million for 2025, up from $77 million in 2024, and said the triple-net real estate leaseback model accounted for about 25% of total Fire Suite sales for the year. For the income statement, Atkinson said total revenue was $17 million for 2025, compared with $17.8 million in 2024. She also disclosed that the company completed a $14 million sale-leaseback of its Colorado Springs parking property in the fourth quarter, stating the related party generated a $6.6 million development profit while Venu retained operational control and a fixed-price repurchase option within three years. During the Q&A, Roth said he was frustrated by what he views as a disconnect between Venu’s stock price and its asset base, calling the stock “undervalued” versus total assets and unencumbered assets. He said the company has been working to bring on institutional holders and discussed building an investor relations plan, including the hiring of Sarah Rothschild, whom he said joined from MSG and Sphere. Roth said Venu planned to begin roadshows in early May to meet with institutional investors. On expansion, Robert Mudd, SVP of Construction and Market Expansion, said Venu and its expansion partners at Ryan, LLC were in active negotiations in 13 markets across Colorado, Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, and Ohio. He added the company had formal RFPs out to 17 markets and “active outreach” in 57 total locations, with a focus on strategic routing paths.

Total assets increased to $370.5 million, up 108% or $192.1 million, from year-end 2024 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., March 31, 2026--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Venu Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the "Company") (NYSE American: VENU), the visionary owner, operator, and developer of premium live entertainment destinations, announced today results for its fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 "From the very beginning, we made a commitment," said JW Roth Founder, Chairman, and CEO of VENU, "To build something that would stand the test of time, perform at the highest level, and deliver value that speaks for itself. Today, we are doing exactly that. "The numbers tell the story. Our balance sheet has grown from $83 million to over $370 million in total assets in just 24 months. An independent appraisal of our completed and in development portfolio came in at $1.24 billion on an as completed basis (1). This is a business grounded in tangible assets, measured expansion, and thoughtful capital deployment. Patient capital wins. And we are building this for the long game. We know the market has been noisy. That is what early stages can look like for companies doing what we are doing. But here is what does not lie: steel went up in McKinney and Tulsa. Tulsa is targeted to open Fall 2026 and McKinney shortly after in Q1 2027. We opened our Sunset Hospitality Collection, the most sophisticated hospitality complex in our history. Luxe FireSuiteTM sales broke records again, and our triple net model, which barely existed at the start of 2025, already accounts for 25% of total sales. The market didn't just respond. It leaned in. "The live entertainment industry is evolving fast, and we are positioned to capitalize with residencies, immersive experiences, and AI-driven activations. The most profitable opportunities are going to the venues built to hold all of it. Our more than music strategy is not a pivot. It is how we stay ten steps ahead. "We grew our team with people who have seen what winning looks like and chose VENU anyway. World-class artists and athletes are becoming shareholders. Municipalities are knocking. And just this week we added an executive from MSG Entertainment and Sphere, because where we are going demands that level of firepower. "2026 is already proving the point. PepsiCo signed on as our official beverage partner. Ford Amphitheater made Billboard's 2026 Top Music Venues list. Roth's Sea & Steak was recognized among the best wine programs in the Americas. And remember, our most recent capital raise closed during one of the most volatile market stretches in recent memory. That is conviction. "The people paying attention right now are going to look back on this moment. The venues are coming. The content is evolving. The model is proven. The market is hungry. And we are just getting to the good part." Financial Highlights for the Fourth Quarter and Full Year Ended December 31, 2025 Total assets grew to $370.5 million as of December 31, 2025, up $192.1 million or 108% from $178.4 million at December 31, 2024. It is worth noting that several of our municipality developments sit at zero cost basis on our balance sheet rather than market to market value as they are contributed assets. An as-completed basis appraisal of $1.24 billion reflects a more complete picture of what this portfolio will actually be worth (1). Property and equipment increased to $305.9 million as of December 31, 2025, up 123% from $137.2 million at December 31, 2024. Luxe FireSuiteTM and Aikman Club sales reached $126.1 million for the full year ended December 31, 2025, representing a 62% increase over the $77.7 million generated in fiscal year 2024.

Total revenue of $17.9 million for the full year ended December 31, 2025, compared to $17.8 million for the full year ended December 31, 2024. The Company completed a $14 million sale leaseback of its Colorado Spring parking property in the fourth quarter of 2025 with a related party, generating a development profit of $6.6 million reflecting in the gain on sale of property in operating profits.

Subsequent to year end, the 134,000 square foot canopy roof was completed at Broken Arrow, bringing the 12,500-capacity venue on track for a fall 2026 opening, with shows expected to go on sale within the next six to eight weeks. Entered into a letter of intent to develop a multi-season entertainment destination planned for Webster, Texas in the Greater Houston MSA, marking VENU's entry into one of the nation's largest and fastest-growing markets.

The triple net real estate leaseback structure, introduced in mid-2025, surpassed early forecasts and accounted for approximately 25% of annual Luxe FireSuiteTM sales. Demand moved so fast we launched a dedicated national campaign to meet it, all while retaining premium ticket inventory for ongoing revenue generation. Completed a $30 million public offering in August 2025. Team & Leadership Expanded the executive team in 2025 with the additions of Vic Sutter as EVP of Operations and Tommy Ginoza to lead live entertainment programming, while promoting Terri Liebler to President of Growth and Strategy.

Subsequent Events: January through March 2026 Closed an $86.25 million capital raise in March 2026, significantly strengthening the Company's balance sheet, reinforcing its minimal debt strategy, and fueling national expansion.

Words such as "may," "might," "will," "should," "believe," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "continue," "predict," "forecast," "project," "plan," "intend" or similar expressions, or statements regarding intent, belief, or current expectations, are forward-looking statements. While Venu believes these forward-looking statements are reasonable, undue reliance should not be placed on any such forward-looking statements, which are based on information available to us on the date of this release. These forward-looking statements are based upon current estimates and assumptions and are subject to various risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those set forth in the company’s filings with the SEC, not limited to Risk Factors relating to its business contained therein.

Venu expressly disclaims any obligation to update or alter statements whether because of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. (1) Appraisal Disclosures These appraisals used the cost basis, income, and comparable sales approaches to valuation and, after reconciliation, came to the appraised values of the properties. These approaches to valuation are commonly used approaches to value for appraisal of commercial properties, as opposed to assigning a valuation on the properties based solely on the cost basis of the properties. The total appraisal for the Colorado Springs campus includes a 5.5-acre parking lot that was later sold through a sale-leaseback transaction in November 2025 for $14 million. At the time of the original appraisal, that parcel was valued at $9.2 million. It is important to understand that the appraisal of VENU’s properties takes into account, among other factors, the valuation of the Company’s real estate and developments at a specific point in time, and the appraised value is subject to (and likely to) change at any time, whether it increases or decreases, and such changes could be caused by macro and micro factors over which we have no control. The appraisal of the property portfolio is only an estimate of its value as to the date of the appraisal and based only on the specific appraisal methodologies and should not be relied upon as a measure of its realized value or the value at which any property could be sold to a third party. Other appraisal methodologies may yield materially different appraised value. Furthermore, the appraised value of the properties differs from the values assigned to it under generally accepted accounting principles in the United Stated ("GAAP"), which require the values of the properties to be valued at their cost basis for financial presentation purposes, and therefore the appraised values represent an unaudited measure that may not represent fair value, as defined under GAAP, and such values and appraisals are not, and will not be, subject to audit or other review procedures by our outside independent accountants. The opinions expressed in the appraisal are based on estimates and forecasts that are prospective in nature and subject to certain risks and uncertainties. Events may occur that could cause the performance of the properties to materially differ from the estimates utilized by the appraiser, such as changes in the economy, interest rates, capitalization rates, the financial strength of the live-music and entertainment industries, and the behavior of event attendees, investors, lenders, and municipalities. The Company reviews each appraisal of its properties to confirm that the information provided to the appraiser is accurately reflected in the appraisal, but it does not validate the methodologies, inputs, and professional judgment utilized by the certified appraiser.
