Trinity Place Holdings Inc. Reports First Quarter Financial Results

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Trinity Place Holdings Inc. (OTC PINK: TPHS) (the "Company," "we," "our," or "us") today announced operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2026.

The Company is an intellectual property holding, investment, and commercialization company. We own and control a portfolio of intellectual property assets focused on the consumer sector, a legacy of our predecessor, Syms Corp. (“Syms”), including FilenesBasement.com, our rights to the Stanley Blacker® brand, as well as the intellectual property associated with the Running of the Brides® event and the An Educated Consumer is Our Best Customer® slogan. Our strategy today centers on monetizing these assets through brand licensing, e-commerce initiatives, strategic partnerships, and protection and enforcement of our intellectual property rights.

Net Operating Losses

At March 31, 2026, the Company had carryforwards of federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) of approximately $329.9 million available to reduce future federal taxes. Of the Company’s federal NOLs, $226.9 million were generated prior to 2018 and may expire if unused by 2037, and $103.0 million were generated in 2018 and later years and can be carried forward indefinitely subject to an 80 percent taxable income annual limitation.

Based on management’s assessment, it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets associated with the NOLs will not be realized by future taxable income or tax planning strategies. Accordingly, the Company has a valuation allowance of $90.4 million as of March 31, 2026. If our assumptions change and we determine that we will be able to realize these NOLs, the tax benefits relating to any reversal of the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets would be recognized as a reduction of income tax expense and an increase in the deferred tax asset.

Note that our certificate of incorporation includes a provision intended to help preserve certain tax benefits primarily associated with our NOLs. This provision generally prohibits transfers of stock that would result in a person or group of persons becoming a 4.75 percent stockholder, or that would result in an increase or decrease in stock ownership by a person or group of persons that is an existing 4.75 percent stockholder.
