Venu Holding Corporation Reports Preliminary Fourth Quarter 2025 and Year to Date 2025 Financial Results

Key Terms

triple-net lease financial

A triple-net lease is a rental agreement where the tenant pays the base rent plus the property's operating expenses—typically taxes, insurance, and maintenance—so the landlord receives mostly a steady, predictable cash payment. For investors, it matters because it can act like a low-maintenance, bond-like income stream with clearer expense exposure, but returns depend on the tenant’s financial strength and long-term ability to cover those extra costs.

net revenue financial

Net revenue is the total amount of money a company earns from selling its products or services after subtracting any returns, discounts, or refunds. It shows how much actual income the company keeps from its sales. This figure is important because it reveals the true earnings from business activities, helping people understand how well the company is doing.

sale-leaseback financial

A sale-leaseback is a deal where an owner sells an asset—commonly real estate or equipment—to another party and immediately rents it back so they can keep using it. For investors, it matters because the seller converts a fixed asset into cash without disrupting operations, which can boost liquidity or pay down debt but also creates ongoing lease payments and long-term obligations that affect cash flow and the balance sheet.

unaudited financial

"Unaudited" describes financial statements or reports that have not been examined or verified by an independent accountant or auditor. Because they haven't undergone this review, they may not be as reliable or accurate as audited reports, making them less certain for investors to rely on when assessing a company's financial health. Think of it as a preliminary estimate that could change once checked by an expert.

independent registered public accounting firm regulatory

An independent registered public accounting firm is an outside accounting company officially registered with the government regulator to examine and report on a public company's financial records and controls. Investors treat its reports like an impartial inspector’s certificate — they add credibility to financial statements, help spot errors or misleading claims, and reduce the risk that shareholders are relying on unchecked or biased numbers.

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Venu Holding Corporation ("VENU" or the "Company") (NYSE AMERICAN: VENU), owner and developer of premium live entertainment destinations, announced today preliminary results for its fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2025.

“There are several main takeaways from our preliminary results. First, as expected, we are now seeing the shift to ticketing revenue becoming a larger percentage of our overall revenue. Second, our restaurant revenue increased 8.6% in the fourth quarter of 2025 with the successful grand opening in mid-November of Roth’s Sea & Steak, which completed our Colorado Springs entertainment complex. These results prove the strength of our business model as VENU’s upcoming entertainment complexes in Broken Arrow, McKinney, El Paso, and Houston near completion and prepare to open. Third, we continue to grow our balance sheet with total assets now over the $354 million range, a 100% annual growth rate. Our balance sheet was buttressed by our 62% increase in Luxe FireSuite and Aikman Club sales which surpassed $126 million for the year. Finally, we recognized our first development profit in the amount of $6.2 million in the fourth quarter. I believe the Company will become operationally profitable by the end of 2026,” said JW Roth, Chairman & CEO of VENU.
