Revenue drivers

• Diversified segment — The legacy and primary reportable segment, representing a significant majority of the consolidated portfolio; it holds commercial real estate debt and equity investments, including a $16.3 million preferred equity investment in AMS C-Store JV, LLC carrying an 18% cumulative compounding preferred return focused on 7-Eleven convenience store development in Texas.
• Hospitality segment — Focused on operating and renovating U.S. hospitality assets; includes Marriott Uptown, which completed a $95 million refinancing on January 21, 2025 and generated approximately $15 million of cash distributions to the Company, plus an additional $3.2 million received on October 20, 2025 upon hitting performance thresholds.
• NHT hospitality consolidation — On April 17, 2025 the Company took NexPoint Hospitality Trust private by acquiring all remaining NHT units not previously owned and fully consolidated the hospitality portfolio under sole Company ownership, expanding the Hospitality segment.
• Preferred and common share capital — The Company raises capital through its 9.00% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares continuous offering, which provides access to up to $400 million of gross preferred equity capital; approximately $22.4 million of gross proceeds were issued in 2025.

Strategy

Management's stated objective is to provide both current income and capital appreciation through opportunistic, value-add real estate investments across property types and the capital structure. In 2025 the Company consolidated its hospitality portfolio by taking NHT private, refinanced Marriott Uptown for $95 million and received related distributions, and continued its Series B Preferred offering to fund growth with up to $400 million of gross preferred equity capital capacity. It also invested $16.3 million in AMS C-Store JV, LLC preferred equity for 7-Eleven development in high-growth Texas markets. The board authorized a two-year program to repurchase up to $20.0 million of common shares and 5.50% Series A Cumulative Preferred Shares, and the Company repurchased approximately $1.9 million of common shares in 2025. The Advisory Agreement was amended on September 19, 2025 and now runs to July 1, 2027 with one-year renewals.

Risks

• Persistent losses and negative earnings — The Company reported net losses of $117.2 million in 2023, $56.6 million in 2024 and $127.0 million in 2025 with diluted EPS of $-3.26, $-1.28 and $-2.81, respectively.
• Interest rate and inflation exposure — Management states that high inflation and rising or high interest rates could raise operating expenses and debt service costs and limit credit availability for commercial real estate, affecting acquisitions, financings and asset sales.
• Litigation involving the Sponsor — The Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit against the Sponsor and James Dondero, and the UBS Lawsuit seeking collection on $1.3 billion in judgments, involve entities affiliated with the Sponsor; the Company says the lawsuits include no claims related to its business or assets.
• Illiquidity and valuation uncertainty in real estate — The Company's risk disclosures cite liquidity risk in certain asset classes, properties in transition, and the subjectivity of real estate valuations as risks to the portfolio.

Outlook

Management does not provide specific forward guidance in the excerpts; the 10-Q notes the Advisory Agreement now runs through July 1, 2027 with successive one-year terms. The Company says it expects neither the Bankruptcy Trust Lawsuit nor the UBS Lawsuit to have a material effect on its business, results of operations or financial condition. It identifies high inflation, elevated interest rates and limited commercial real estate credit availability as factors that may continue to affect financing, acquisitions and asset sale timing. The Series B Preferred offering remains open for up to $400 million in gross preferred equity capital.
