Executive Summary
- Q3 2025 revenue was $9.09M, down 6.9% year-over-year and up 1.0% sequentially; Net loss widened to $6.43M with a $(0.15) loss per share, impacted by a $2.55M impairment and elevated interest expense .

What Went Well and What Went Wrong
-
What Went Well
- Contract parking volumes increased 1.4% sequentially and 8.0% YTD; residential monthly contracts up ~75% YoY and ~60% since year-end, now ~35% of management agreement revenue, supporting recurring income. “We expect to see the benefits of these volume gains as business conditions strengthen.” .
- Sequential rate and volume improvements in select markets: Cleveland transient up 8% YoY with >50% growth in residential/commercial monthly contracts; Oklahoma City benefiting from >$1B metropolitan projects through 2028, improving hotel/event/transient traffic .
- Completed $100M ABS refinancing, bringing three new institutional investors, extending maturities, unlocking flexibility to execute the asset rotation strategy; Adjusted EBITDA margin held above 42% despite macro headwinds .
-
What Went Wrong
- Transient volumes down ~5% YoY, pressured by construction, fewer special events and softer hotel occupancy in markets including Houston, Denver, Cincinnati, Nashville, Fort Worth, and Detroit; RevPAS fell to $212 vs $228 prior year .
- Net loss widened to $6.43M due to higher interest expense ($4.57M vs $3.35M prior year) tied to the 2024 line of credit and a $2.55M impairment aligned with asset rotation plans .
- FY25 guidance lowered across revenue, NOI, and Adjusted EBITDA, reflecting slower-than-expected lease-ups and extended construction timelines; management indicated trends to the low end already in Q2 .

Q&A Highlights
- Near-term outlook: Disruption from construction in Denver and Nashville should ease toward late Q4, with more material recovery in 2026; transient impacts likely similar to Q3 in some markets .
- Capital allocation: Proceeds from ~$30M asset sales to focus near-term on repaying the line of credit; acquisitions evaluated for accretion over time .
- Impairment: $2.5M impairment tied to regular testing and asset rotation strategy, primarily among assets targeted for sale .
- ABS benefits: Structured to allow disposition flexibility from prior CMBS constraints, enabling execution of non-core divestitures .
- Dispositions economics: NOI drag estimated under $1M; average cap rate sub-3% on those transactions, implying minimal operating impact .
- Cincinnati convention center: Reopening on track; 7 events booked for Q1 (seasonally weak), expected to boost performance mid-January .

Key Takeaways for Investors
- Guidance reset reflects transient softness and construction timelines; positioning for 2026 improvement as event centers reopen and projects complete (Cincinnati, Denver, Nashville, Detroit) .
- ABS refinancing is a structural catalyst, extending maturities to 2030, adding new institutional capital, and unlocking portfolio optimization; expect accelerated asset rotation and debt paydown .
- Recurring revenue mix is strengthening via residential and commercial monthly contracts (~35% of management revenue), supporting pricing optionality once utilization stabilizes .
- Dispositions are economically modest (NOI impact < $1M) and at attractive sub-3% cap rates, enabling balance sheet optimization without materially impairing earnings power .
- Share repurchases (>1M shares at ~$3.36) and cash-settled preferred redemptions mitigate dilution; management highlights NAV of $7.25, implying valuation support as operations normalize .
- Short-term trading: Watch for construction milestones and any incremental guidance updates; the lowered FY25 guide and ABS execution can be stock-moving catalysts. Medium-term thesis: Urban revival, residential conversion, and portfolio rotation to larger, multi-driver assets support NOI growth and potential valuation re-rate as RevPAS recovers .
