IHT FISCAL FIRST HALF HOTEL REVENUES EXCEED $4 MILLION; IBC DIVERSIFICATION CONTINUES REVITALIZATION
Phoenix, AZ, Sept. 12, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- InnSuites Hospitality Trust (NYSE American: IHT) reported Hotel Revenue results surpassing $4 million once again in the First Fiscal Half of 2026, (February 1, 2025, to July 31, 2025), with Total Revenue of approximately $4,004,635.
Consolidated Net Income before the non-cash expense of depreciation and the non-cash Best Western Rewards Guest Vouchers expense, was approximately $75,000 for the 2026 First Fiscal Half ended July 31, 2025 (February 1, 2025, through July 31, 2025).
IHT hotel operations were strong in the 2025 Fiscal Year ended January 31, 2025, and are contributing to a solid start in the current 2026 Fiscal Year. Combined Hotel August Revenue for both hotels was an August record of $547,571, which has led to a solid Hotel Revenue total of $4,552,206 for the first seven Fiscal Months of Fiscal Year 2026. These are positive signs for InnSuites, as progress continues strong, while the Travel Industry in general, remains flat.
RRF LLLP, the Management Company for IHT, has recently become the Management Company for InnDependent Boutique Collection (IBC Hotels, LLC). This is a new diversification opportunity, with IHT participating in the IBC revitalization.
In the process of ownership and management of branded and unbranded hotels, IHT recognized an unfulfilled need to provide hotel reservations, branding, and hotel services for global independent hotels, which at the time and still represent half the hotels in the world. In February 2014, IHT founded IBC Hotels, LLC to explore this unfulfilled opportunity, developing reservations, branding, and related hotel services doing business as “InnDependent Boutique Collection “(IBC Hotels). Early success in providing reservations for an IHT operated independent hotel was substantial. As this independent hotel services opportunity and the size of this potential demand was increasingly recognized in the travel industry, IBC Hotels was sold in August 2018 to a foreign hotel company planning expansion of independent hotel reservations and services internationally.
The new owner added additional hotels to the reservation system, further developed, updated, and improved then-existing software, and pursued an agreement with a large international internet hotel guest source. When Covid hit in early 2020 and travel virtually came to a standstill in March 2020, the new owner was not in a position to continue operations pausing IBC Hotels reservation services.
On March 5, 2025, REF , an investment entity owned by the chairman and family of IHT majority IHT shareholder, purchased IBC Hotels, LLC, and on March 7, 2025, hired RRF LLLP, the management company subsidiary of InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), to manage the rebirth of IBC, to benefit from the substantial unfulfilled need worldwide for independent boutique hotel and resort reservations, Boutique branding, and related hotel services. In the process, RRF LLLP, a 76% owned subsidiary of IHT and manager of IHT hotels, was engaged as manager of IBC obtaining a five-year option to purchase, at cost, IBC Hotels, LLC. This option is believed to provide IHT a valuable opportunity, if successful, to profit from the revitalization of InnDependent Boutique Collection (IBC Hotels).
InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), in late 2019, made a diversification investment in new development privately held UniGen Power, Inc. (UniGen), a company developing a patented, high profit potential, efficient clean energy generation innovation. With the continued strong demand from data centers, electric cars, as well as growing projections for artificial intelligence, demand for electricity over the next five years is projected to approximately double. IHT holds convertible bonds and warrants that, if fully exercised, could result in IHT holding an approximately up to 15-20% or more ownership stake in UniGen.
UniGen is currently concentrating on its next round of capital raising, in which IHT may participate. UniGen is a high-risk, clean, efficient, diversification investment, offering high potential investment return if and when successful.
IHT management believes that due to real estate held on the books of IHT at book values believed to be significantly below current market value and due to the high clean energy and IBC diversification profit potential ahead, the IHT future looks bright.
IHT’s strong hotel operating results are reflected in three of the four most recent Fiscal Years profitable, even after accounting for substantial non-cash depreciation and non-cash Best Western Rewards Guest Voucher expenses.
Fiscal Year 2026 extended IHT’s uninterrupted, continuous annual dividends to 55 years, since initial NYSE listing in 1971. Semi-annual dividends were paid February 5, 2025, and August 7, 2025.
The IHT Annual Shareholder Meeting was a success, with all Ballot Measures passing with over 95% Approval of Shares Voted, including the re-election of both Board of Trustee Members. The Annual Shareholder Meeting was held at the IHT Phoenix Corporate Office, on August 14, 2025.
