Hotel Operations Drive Revenue Growth

The company’s hotel segment, anchored by the Hilton San Francisco Financial District, remained the primary growth driver during the quarter. Hotel revenues climbed 35.1% year over year to $16.5 million from $12.2 million. Room revenues increased to $14.4 million from $10.5 million, while food and beverage revenues rose to $1 million from $0.7 million. Operating income before gain on extinguishment of debt, interest expense, depreciation and amortization more than doubled to $5.1 million from $2.5 million.

Management attributed the improvement to higher average daily rates (ADR), stronger occupancy and additional room inventory created through renovations. ADR increased to $306 from $241, occupancy improved to 94% from 89%, and revenue per available room (RevPAR) rose to $287 from $215. The company said the return of 14 renovated guest rooms to inventory, stronger business travel trends and increased demand tied to the Super Bowl hosted in San Francisco during the quarter contributed to the gains.

Real Estate Segment Mixed Despite Property Sale Gain

Revenues from InterGroup’s real estate operations declined to $3.9 million from $4.6 million in the prior-year quarter, although operating expenses decreased modestly to $2.4 million due to cost-control initiatives. Segment income from real estate operations declined to $1.5 million from $2.2 million.

Investment Portfolio Losses Narrow

InterGroup’s investment transactions segment continued to weigh on results, though losses narrowed substantially from the prior-year level. The company posted a net loss on marketable securities of $0.05 million in the quarter compared with a loss of $1.1 million a year ago. Trading and management expenses declined marginally to $0.3 million. 

As of March 31, 2026, the company’s marketable securities portfolio totaled $1.1 million, with approximately 81% invested in REITs and real estate companies.

Liquidity and Balance Sheet Position

InterGroup ended the quarter with $9.3 million in cash and cash equivalents, up from $5.1 million as of June 30, 2025. Restricted cash totaled $8 million. Net cash provided by operating activities for the first nine months of fiscal 2026 increased to $2.7 million from $1.7 million a year ago.

Management said liquidity remained stable following Portsmouth Square’s refinancing completed in March 2025. The company noted that all debt obligations remained current and in compliance with applicable covenants as of March 31, 2026. The hotel’s debt service coverage ratio threshold was met during the quarter, although lender-controlled lockbox arrangements remained in place because the required two consecutive qualifying quarters had not yet been achieved.

Other Developments

During the quarter, Portsmouth continued hotel property enhancements, including renovations that converted former administrative office space into 14 additional guest rooms returned to service in September 2025. The company also maintained capital preservation initiatives at the hotel, including deferral of non-essential projects, renegotiation of vendor agreements and reductions in controllable operating expenses.
