Total assets under management (AUM) were approximately $1.5 billion at quarter-end, representing a 12% increase from the prior quarter and 5% higher than AUM at the end of the year-ago quarter. This rose to $1.7 billion in total AUM as of Thursday, February 19. Operating revenue increased by $259,000, or 11.5%, compared to the prior quarter, and by $279,000 compared to the quarter ended December 31, 2024. Additionally, the Company\u2019s expenses decreased by $172,000 in the current quarter compared to the same quarter last year. The Company\u2019s income before taxes was $535,000, a significant improvement from a loss before taxes of $116,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company recorded a tax expense of approximately $1.3 million related to the tax treatment of certain HIVE Digital Technologies Ltd. (\u201cHIVE\u201d) convertible securities. However, the Company expects an offsetting tax benefit of $1.3 million in the quarter ending March 31, 2026. The tax expense included a non-cash valuation allowance of approximately $471,000 against deferred tax assets tied primarily to capital loss carryforwards. As a result, the Company\u2019s effective tax rate for the quarter was significantly elevated. After quarter-end, the Company filed a tax accounting method change with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) related to the treatment of these HIVE securities. Because the filing occurred after December 31, 2025, the anticipated $1.3 million benefit was not reflected in the December quarter results and remains subject to IRS review.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Shareholder Value Initiatives<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The Company\u2019s shareholder yield as of December 31, 2025, was 9.89%, more than double the yield on the five-year and 10-year Treasury bonds on the same trading day.<sup>2<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>The Company\u2019s Board of Directors (the \u201cBoard\u201d) approved payment of a $0.0075 per share per month dividend beginning in January 2026 and continuing through March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The Company maintains a share repurchase program, authorized by the Board, allowing for the annual purchase of up to $5 million of its outstanding common shares on the open market, as market and business conditions permit. The program has been in place since December 2012 and has been renewed each calendar year by the Board. During the three-month period ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 262,195 shares.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Travel Demand Remains Resilient as Capacity Stays Constrained<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The Company is pleased to report that air travel demand continued to prove resilient in 2025, even as airlines and airports faced persistent capacity constraints. The International Air Transport Association (IATA) reported that full-year passenger demand, measured in revenue passenger kilometers (RPKs), rose 5.3% versus 2024, while capacity (available seat kilometers, or ASKs) increased 5.2%. The global passenger load factor reached 83.6%\u2014a record for full-year traffic\u2014while international demand rose 7.1%, with a record international load factor of 83.5%.<sup>3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>This strength has been visible across major markets. Airports Council International (ACI) Europe reported that passenger traffic across Europe\u2019s airports increased 4.4% in 2025, with airports welcoming an additional 100 million passengers and reaching a new record of 2.6 billion passengers.<sup>4<\/sup> Meanwhile, Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC) data showed U.S.-based travel agency air ticket sales totaled over $100 billion in 2025, also a record.<sup>5<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\u201cConsumers are still prioritizing experiences, and the data continues to show that air travel remains one of the most resilient categories in the global economy,\u201d said Frank Holmes, the Company\u2019s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Chief Investment Officer (CIO). \u201cEven with capacity constraints, the industry has been setting records for demand and load factors. That\u2019s a constructive backdrop for investors looking at the long-term growth potential of the airlines and travel ecosystem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Gold Demand Breaks 5,000 Tons as Investors Seek Safe Haven<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Gold demand and prices both reached historic milestones in 2025. According to the World Gold Council (WGC), total gold demand exceeded 5,000 metric tons for the first time ever, and the record-setting run in gold prices produced an unprecedented annual value of approximately $555 billion, up 45% year-over-year. The WGC also noted that central bank purchases totaled 863 tons in 2025, during which the gold price set 53 new all-time highs.<sup>6<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\n        \n      <\/p>\n<p>Looking ahead, several major market observers expect gold to remain supported by continued diversification and macro uncertainty. Goldman Sachs raised its year-end 2026 gold forecast to $5,400 per ounce, citing continued demand from central banks as well as private sector diversification.<sup>7<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>\u201cGold has continued to do what it has historically done best\u2014serve as a portfolio hedge during periods of macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty,\u201d said Mr. Holmes. \u201cWhen demand breaks records and central banks remain large buyers, it reinforces gold\u2019s role as a strategic asset. Against that backdrop, we believe investors will continue to look closely at gold exposure, including the potential upside in quality precious metals miners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Healthy Liquidity and Capital Resources<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>As of December 31, 2025, the Company had net working capital of approximately $36.7 million. With approximately $25.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, the Company has adequate liquidity to meet its current obligations, in addition to investments in our funds.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>Tune In to the Earnings Webcast<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>The Company has scheduled a webcast for 7:30 a.m. Central time on Monday, February 23, 2026, to discuss the Company\u2019s key financial results for the quarter. Frank Holmes will be accompanied on the webcast by Lisa Callicotte, chief financial officer, and Holly Schoenfeldt, director of marketing. <a
