The earnings call indicates mixed results: strong rental revenue growth and improved net loss metrics are offset by decreased EBITDA and ongoing losses. The Q&A reveals strong leasing demand but uncertainty about specific projects. No guidance on Tin Building's breakeven raises concerns. Despite positive signs like reduced expenses and improved net loss, the lack of clear guidance and ongoing challenges suggest a neutral sentiment.
Total Consolidated Revenues $45.1 million, a 1% year-over-year increase when compared to pro forma Q3 2024. The increase was driven by rental revenue growth and private event activity.
Hospitality Revenues Declined 4% compared to pro forma year-over-year in the third quarter. The decline mainly reflects lower revenues at the Tin Building and softness among certain legacy stand-alone restaurants.
Total Hospitality Revenues (Including Unconsolidated Ventures) Increased 5% year-over-year, while same-store hospitality revenue rose 11%. Gains were driven by the continued success of the Lawn Club, the strong launch of Duutano, and event-driven restaurant buyouts during Macy's 4th of July celebration.
Hospitality Segment Adjusted EBITDA Declined by $2.9 million year-over-year due to a favorable one-time benefit from reimbursements received in Q3 2024. Excluding this, adjusted EBITDA improved by 40% year-over-year, supported by growth of the Lawn Club, improvements from Duutano, and cost-cutting measures.
Entertainment Segment Revenues Declined 5% year-over-year, primarily due to hosting 7 fewer concerts at the rooftop at Pier 17 compared to the prior year. Partially offset by revenue from Macy's 4th of July broadcast and Las Vegas Aviators playoff games.
Entertainment Segment Adjusted EBITDA Decreased 51% year-over-year, reflecting reduced concert count, variances in overhead allocations, and increased sponsorship fulfillment costs.
Landlord Segment Rental Revenue Increased 56% year-over-year on a pro forma basis. Growth was driven by $1 million in termination-related income and private event activity.
Landlord Segment Adjusted EBITDA Decreased 45% year-over-year due to one-time non-cash charges totaling $6 million. Excluding these items, adjusted EBITDA improved 76% year-over-year, reflecting revenue gains and lower operating expenses.
Total Segment Adjusted EBITDA Declined by $7 million compared to Q3 2024 on a pro forma basis. Excluding nonrecurring items, adjusted EBITDA improved by 76% or over $4 million year-over-year.
General and Administrative Expenses $18 million, a 2% year-over-year reduction. Excluding a one-time $11 million leadership transition accrual, corporate cost structure showed sequential improvement.
Interest Expense Decreased by $3 million compared to Q3 2024, driven by a $1 million decrease related to 250 Water Street loan paydown, $800,000 decrease from interest capitalization, and $1 million offsetting interest income.
Equity and Earnings from Unconsolidated Ventures Improved 180% year-over-year, driven by continued growth at Lawn Club.
Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders $33.2 million, a year-over-year decline of around $700,000 or 2%. Net loss per share improved by 56% compared to Q3 2024.
Non-GAAP Adjusted Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders $7.2 million, an improvement of around $18 million or 71% versus Q3 2024. Non-GAAP adjusted net loss per share improved by 87% compared to Q3 2024.
Capital Expenditures $4.8 million in Q3 2025, primarily related to the rooftop winter structure, River Deck Bar build-out, and maintenance capital for existing operations.
Long-term Debt Outstanding $101.4 million as of September 30, unchanged from year-end 2024 except for regular amortization of the Las Vegas ballpark loan.

The selected topic was not discussed during the call.
The earnings call indicates mixed results: strong rental revenue growth and improved net loss metrics are offset by decreased EBITDA and ongoing losses. The Q&A reveals strong leasing demand but uncertainty about specific projects. No guidance on Tin Building's breakeven raises concerns. Despite positive signs like reduced expenses and improved net loss, the lack of clear guidance and ongoing challenges suggest a neutral sentiment.
The earnings call reflects mixed signals: while there are improvements in net loss and operational EBITDA, revenues have decreased, and guidance is lacking. The partnership with Meow Wolf and new developments like the Catano restaurant and Pier 17 enhancements are positive, yet the lack of clear future guidance and declining hospitality revenues are concerning. The Q&A highlighted management's evasive responses on breakeven timelines and strategic impacts, adding uncertainty. Given these factors, the stock price is likely to remain stable, resulting in a neutral sentiment.
The earnings call highlights several concerning factors: a 12% decrease in consolidated revenues, significant declines in hospitality revenue, and no guidance provided. Despite some operational improvements and a negative net debt position, the lack of a shareholder return plan and strategic restaurant closures are worrying. The Q&A did not alleviate these concerns. Given the absence of guidance and the revenue decline, a negative stock price movement is anticipated.
The earnings call indicates mixed financial performance with a net loss increase and lack of formal guidance, which are negative signals. The positive impact of new partnerships like Meow Wolf is mitigated by competitive pressures and regulatory issues. The rights offering and cash position provide some buffer, but the absence of guidance and operational risks suggest potential short-term challenges. These factors collectively suggest a negative sentiment with potential stock price decline in the short term.
