Venu
Holding Corporation Reports Its
Annual
2025 and Fourth Quarter Results
Total
assets increased to $370.5 million, up 108% or $192.1 million, from year-end 2024
COLORADO
SPRINGS, CO – 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.
● Luxe
FireSuiteTM sales through the Company’s triple net real estate leaseback
model, launched in early 2025, accounted for approximately 25% of total Luxe FireSuiteTM
sales for the year, establishing the program as a rapidly emerging flagship ownership pathway.
● 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.
Operational
and Strategic Highlights for Q4 2025 and the Full Year 2025:
Venue
Development
● Structural
steel rose at both Sunset Amphitheater McKinney, TX (20,000-seat, in the Dallas market) and
Sunset Amphitheater Broken Arrow, OK. 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.
● Announced
a planned expansion to Centennial, Colorado with a new property acquisition, bringing VENU’s
indoor venue brand to the Denver metro market. The first brand in VENU’s portfolio
to feature an indoor Luxe FireSuiteTM model. Later, closing on the property in
February of 2026 and expecting construction to begin in the coming months.
● Finalized
land acquisition and launched Luxe FireSuiteTM sales for the 12,500 seat Sunset
Amphitheater El Paso, TX, backed by an expanded public private partnership with the City
of El Paso. The City Council approved an expanded agreement, and the official groundbreaking
ceremony was held in November 2025.
Content
& Experience Innovation
● Launched
an omni content strategy across VENU’s venue portfolio, intending to expand programming
beyond traditional concerts to include residencies, AI productions, high end tribute experiences,
theatrical productions, and original in- house shows designed to drive year-round venue utilization
and fan engagement.
● Opened
the Sunset Hospitality Collection at the Colorado Springs campus in November 2025, anchored
by Roth’s Sea & Steak, Brohan’s cocktail lounge, and four luxury private
event spaces, representing the Company’s largest and most premium year-round hospitality
destination to date.
● Selected
Tixr as the official ticketing and integrated commerce partner across four of VENU’s
premium indoor music halls, backed by a capital commitment from Tixr into VENU, bringing
a modern unified platform that elevates the fan experience from purchase to arrival.
● Formed
an industry alliance with Billboard, co-launching the inaugural ‘Disruptor Award’
at the Billboard Live Music Summit in Los Angeles, with the debut honor presented to Khalid
by J.W. Roth and later awarding to PlaqueBoy Max in January of 2026 at Billboard’s
Power 100 during the biggest week in music.
Luxe
FireSuiteTM & Capital Innovation

at the time, followed by $23 million in sales over a record breaking 60-day window later
in the year.
● 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

Officer and Will Hodgson was elevated to President of VENU.
● Rounding
out its executive bench in early 2026, VENU added Sarah Rothschild as Senior Vice President
of Strategic Finance and Investor Relations whose career spans MSG Entertainment and Sphere,
two of the most recognized names in premium live entertainment.
● J.W.
Roth was accepted into the Forbes Business Council, joined Newsmax, Bloomberg TV, Schwab
Network, and Cheddar for live national interviews, was named to Billboard’s 2025 Touring
Power Players List, and received his second consecutive VenuesNow All Stars designation.

Looking Statements
Certain
statements in this press release constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.
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.
(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.
