Pride Holdings Group reported preliminary financial results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2025, with revenue exceeding $4 million. This represents a 289% increase compared to third quarter revenues, according to the company's announcement. The diversified LGBTQ+ focused hospitality, entertainment, and community-driven holding company attributed this growth to continued execution of its expansion strategy.
The company's strong performance reflects expansion of owned and operated venues, improved operational efficiencies, and increased brand visibility across its portfolio. Management cited increased same-venue performance, successful integration of recent acquisitions, and heightened consumer demand during the peak fourth quarter period as key drivers of the quarter-over-quarter growth. The company expects these trends to continue as it scales operations and evaluates additional strategic opportunities.
Mike Barrett, CEO of Pride Holdings Group, expressed confidence in the company's trajectory. "We continue to grow Pride, and I'm delighted with such growth in the 4th quarter of 2025," Barrett stated. "We have more big news and growth in quarter 1 and 2 of 2026, as we continue to roll up and growth of the LGBTQ+ markets. I am extremely confident in our business model, staff, customer base, and shareholders that we have an extraordinary 2026."
The company's performance across hospitality, nightlife, and events divisions contributed to the momentum, driven by acquisitions, seasonal demand, and operational scale. This growth is significant as it demonstrates the economic viability and expansion potential of LGBTQ+ focused businesses in the hospitality and entertainment sectors. The company's focus on creating safe, inclusive, and economically sustainable community spaces while delivering long-term value to shareholders represents a growing segment of the market that has historically been underserved by mainstream hospitality companies.
Pride Holdings Group expects to release full year financials and additional operational updates in the coming weeks. The company's performance indicates increasing consumer demand for LGBTQ+ oriented venues and experiences, suggesting broader market acceptance and economic opportunities within this sector. As the company continues to scale operations, its success may influence investment patterns and business development strategies across the hospitality industry, potentially leading to more inclusive business models and expanded market offerings.
The record quarterly results come at a time when many businesses are navigating economic uncertainties, making the 289% growth particularly noteworthy. For investors and industry observers, these results provide measurable evidence of the LGBTQ+ market's economic strength and growth potential. The company's performance may encourage other businesses to develop more targeted approaches to serving diverse communities while demonstrating that inclusive business models can achieve substantial financial success.
