Bull points
- We continued to show positive momentum in contract parking, improved utilization at several of our assets, completed phase one of our asset rotation strategy, strengthened our balance sheet, and our confidence is growing with identifiable catalysts that position us for progress in 2026.
- We ended 2025 with over 6,700 contracts in our baseline assets, representing same store sales growth of 10% year over year, and 12% growth when excluding the temporary disruption in Detroit.
- As we have focused on driving utilization across the portfolio, we have done so with a specific tested playbook for success. Volume first, rate second.
Bear points
- while we did not achieve the growth that we originally expected, we executed on several key strategic priorities, which have positioned the company for future growth and to capitalize on the green shoots we are seeing throughout the portfolio.
- Transient volumes declined 6% in 2025, primarily due to temporary disruptions in certain markets that we have discussed in recent earnings calls.
- total revenue was $8.8 million compared to $9.2 million in the same period of the prior year. The revenue decline reflects lower transient volumes year over year due to fewer events and associated attendance, as well as continued construction-related impacts at several of our assets.
