Consolidated Net Income before non-cash depreciation expense was $14,693 for the 2025 Fiscal First Half ended July 31, 2024 (February 1, 2024, through July 31, 2024).
IHT hotel operations were strong in the Fiscal Year ended January 31, 2024, and the 2025 Fiscal First Half, continuing into August, of the current Fiscal Year. Combined Revenue has led to a record $4,660,134 for the first seven Fiscal Months of Fiscal Year 2025.
The Combined Average Daily Rate (ADR) has increased 4.03% for Fiscal First Half (February 1, 2024, to July 31, 2024). The Combined Revenue Per Available Room (REVPAR), has also increased from the prior Fiscal First Half, by 3.16%. The Trailing 12 month revenue has also seen a 6% increase from the prior 12 month period.
These are all positive signs for InnSuites, as the Travel Industry, and InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT) specifically, record strong revenue.
InnSuites Hospitality Trust (IHT), in late 2019, made a diversification investment in UniGen Power Inc., (UPI), developing a patented, high profit potential, efficient clean energy generation innovation. With the continued growing demand for data centers plus influx of electric cars, as well as growing needs of artificial intelligence, increased demand for electricity over the next five years is projected to approximately double. IHT holds stock, convertible bonds and warrants that, if and when fully exercised, could result in IHT holding an approximately up to 20% ownership stake in UniGen.
UniGen is currently concentrating on its next round of capital raising, which IHT may or may not participate in. UniGen is a high risk 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 clean energy diversification high profit potential ahead, the IHT future looks bright.
IHT’s strong hotel operating results are reflected in three successful, consecutive profitable Fiscal Years, even after accounting for substantial non-cash depreciation expense.
Fiscal Year 2025 extended IHT’s uninterrupted, continuous annual dividends to 54 years, since 1971, with semi-annual dividends paid February 5, 2024, and July 31, 2024. The IHT Annual Shareholder Meeting was held at the IHT Corporate Office, on August 14, 2025.
