Venu (NYSEAMERICAN:VENU) released its quarterly earnings data on Thursday.

Venu had a negative net margin of 217.24% and a negative return on equity of 19.66%. The business had revenue of $4.80 million during the quarter, compared to analyst estimates of $4.80 million.

Here are the key takeaways from Venu’s conference call:

• Expansion and financing progress: Venu announced a new Chattanooga venue, continues discussions with more than 45 municipalities, and identified a path to over $150 million in non-dilutive C-PACE financing for its Broken Arrow and McKinney projects.
• Upcoming venues are expected to add significant EBITDA: Broken Arrow is expected to open within roughly 90 days and generate about $22 million of first-year EBITDA, while McKinney is targeted for completion in March with projected first-year EBITDA of $38 million to $39 million.
• Strong premium-sales momentum: Luxe FireSuite and Aikman Club sales exceeded $278 million through June 30, including approximately $30 million sold during the quarter; 76% of quarterly sales came from the company’s triple-net model.
• Profitability remains several quarters away: Management expects continued losses as it funds pre-opening expenses and brings approximately $600 million of assets online, with profitability targeted for the second or early third quarter of 2027.
• Six-month revenue increased 7% year over year to $8.5 million, while total assets rose 38% to $511.8 million; however, management’s projected venue values and EBITDA are forward-looking and depend on completing construction, securing financing, and achieving expected bookings.
