Venu Holding Corporation Reports Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results

Total assets increased to $242.0 million, up 36% or $63.6 million, from year-end 2024

Colorado Springs, CO- August 14, 2025- (BUSINESS WIRE) Venu Holding Corporation (“VENU” or the “Company”) (NYSE American: VENU), a developer, owner, and operator of upscale live music venues and premium hospitality destinations, announced today its second quarter and six months results for the period ended June 30, 2025.

“This quarter was about execution and acceleration,” said J.W. Roth, Founder, Chairman & CEO of VENU.

“Our pipeline is roaring.” Roth continued. “We’re in conversations with 38 municipalities nationwide that are interested in seeing VENU within their community. We broke ground on our 20,000-seat year-round Sunset Amphitheater in McKinney and advanced key projects across Colorado, Oklahoma, and Texas. We are well on our way to opening three new outdoor amphitheaters in 2026 and one new indoor entertainment campus, with potentially four more in 2027.”

“Our capital strategy is equally robust. We’ve engaged Texas Capital Securities on private debt financing options intended to accelerate amphitheater construction, with expected total commitments of approximately $200 million. Demand for VENU’s long-term, income-producing Luxe FireSuite fractional ownerships is unlike anything we’ve seen before. Our triple-net real estate lease program, launched in May with Sands Investment Group, has exceeded our expectations. For a brand-new asset class, the reception has been phenomenal. We’ve already surpassed record FireSuite sales, and with projections pushing toward our goal of $200 million, it’s clear we’re building something that’s changing the game.”

“Here’s the deal: VENU is changing the live entertainment industry forever. From expanding our partnership with Aramark Sports + Entertainment to making waves with our Billboard announcement, every move is part of a bigger play. Behind the scenes, we are stacking our roster, scaling smarter, forging game-changing alliances, developing next-gen revenue models, and doing whatever it takes. What’s coming next will shatter expectations and redefine the industry as we know it. Here we go!”

Financial Highlights for the Second Quarter of 2025 and the Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2025

● Total assets increased to $242.0 million, up $63.6 million or 36%, as of June 30, 2025, from $178.4 million at December 31, 2024.

● Property and equipment increased to $199.2 million, up $62.0 million or 45%, as of June 30, 2025, from $137.2 million at December 31, 2024.

● Luxe FireSuite and Aikman Club sales reached $61.3 million through June 30, 2025, up $15.5 million or 34%, from $45.8 million from June 30, 2024. This included sales of Luxe FireSuites through traditional cash sales, fractional financing, and the start of triple-net lease interests in FireSuites, as well.

● Total revenue of $4,487,307 rose 7% or $312,069 for the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2024 of $4,175,238. The overall increase in the three months ended June 30, 2025 was primarily attributable to Ford Amphitheater being open in the three months ended June 30, 2025 compared to not yet being open for the three months ended June 30 2024.

● Amphitheater operations generated net revenue to Venu (defined as profit after Venu’s split with AEG Presents Rocky Mountains, the operator of the amphitheater), with receipts from our naming rights agreements (which are outside of Venu’s AEG partnership agreement), combined for $597,712 for the three months ended June 30, 2025.

● Over the 2025 season of 10 shows at Ford Amphitheater through June 30, 2025, this location generated gross receipts of $4.7 million. These gross receipts, which are inclusive of ticket sales, concessions, ticketing fees, premium upgrades, as well as other receipts, are subject to the split with AEG.

● The Ford Amphitheater had more than 35,000 attendees for the first 10 shows through June 30, 2025, with an average ticket price of $135.
