The Trust intends to maintain its current conservative dividend policy. The Trust currently is, and has, been paying two semi-annual dividends each Fiscal Year totaling $0.02 per share per Fiscal Year. In the Fiscal Years ended January 31, 2025 and 2024, the Trust paid dividends of $0.01 per share per share in each of the first and second quarters. The Trust has paid dividends each Fiscal Year since its inception 55 years ago, in 1971. The Trust paid the scheduled semi-annual $0.01 dividend payable on July 31, 2024, as well as February 5, 2025, and is once again anticipated for August 4, 2025.

 

Subsequent to the Fiscal Year ended January 31, 2024 the Trust repurchased 28,937 Shares of Beneficial Interest on the open market for a total cash repurchase price of approximately $42,541.

 

Rare Earth Financial LLC (REF), an affiliate majority-owned by our President and CEO, James Wirth, entered into an agreement with the Obasa Group of Companies, on March 5, 2025, to purchase 102037739 Saskatchewan Ltd, and its subsidiary IBC Hotels, LLC. RRF LLLP, a subsidiary of IHT, agreed to become the Management Company of IBC, in an effort to rekindle earlier operations that were initially substantially successful, until the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020. The Note Payable to IHT, obtained by IHT in its sale of IBC Hotels, LLC, in August of 2018, was extended until June 30, 2030, with interest to be paid at 3.25%. REF intends to make any outstanding unpaid interest payments potentially due in Fiscal Year 2026 (February 1, 2025 to January 31, 2026), from May 2024 to March, 2025. As part of the Management Agreement, RRF obtained a five-year option to purchase IBC at the net cost of REF. If the rekindling of IBC is successful, this option could prove to be a valuable asset of IHT in the future.

 

Hotel Operation results of the Albuquerque Hotel and the Tucson Hotel both achieved record revenue and Gross Operating Profit (GOP) results for the Fiscal Year ended January 31, 2025.
