NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Tradewinds Universal (OTCID:TRWD) announced a coverage initiation report by Beacon Market Research examining the Company’s adult hospitality strategy.

Beacon highlighted FY2025 results attributed to Peppermint Hippo and affiliate club assets TRWD intends to acquire, including $35.2 million in revenue, $6.2 million in EBITDA and a 17.7% EBITDA margin. The report cited revenue growth of 36.4% and EBITDA growth of 137.5%.

Beacon compared TRWD with RCI Hospitality Holdings, traded on Nasdaq, the sector’s established public-market model. RCI reported $279.4 million in FY2025 revenue and an approximately 18.8% EBITDA margin, compared with $35.2 million and 17.7% for the target platform.

“Beacon’s report provides investors with a framework for evaluating the opportunity we are building,” said Andrew Read, CEO. “RCI proved this sector can scale publicly. Our focus is execution, acquisitions and building a national platform.”
