About Boston Omaha Corporation
About Boston Omaha Corporation
Boston Omaha Corporation's four reporting segments — billboard advertising, broadband telecommunications, surety insurance, and asset management — sit alongside a $107.8 million minority stake in Sky Harbour Group Corporation (NYSE: SKYH), built up in stages since 2020. The company narrowed its net loss to approximately $3.9 million in fiscal 2025 from $8.5 million in fiscal 2024, and its billboard subsidiary Link carried $34.8 million in bank borrowings as of December 31, 2025.
Boston Omaha's billboard segment earns advertising revenue from displays operated through its Link subsidiary, which carries $34.8 million in borrowings under a credit agreement combining a term loan due in 2028 and a revolving line of credit due in 2029. The broadband segment operates through three subsidiaries under a separate credit agreement entered in September 2024 permitting up to $20 million in aggregate term loans to fund network expansion. Acquisitions of assets and businesses remain a core growth strategy across segments, funded through a mix of operating cash flow, debt, and equity issuances under the 2022 Long-Term Incentive Plan, which authorizes up to 1,575,000 shares with automatic annual increases through February 2032. Because Boston Omaha accounts for its Sky Harbour stake under the equity method rather than marking it to market each quarter, swings in Sky Harbour's share price do not directly flow through reported earnings unless the company's influence over that investee changes.
Show full overview
Boston Omaha's single largest equity exposure sits in Sky Harbour Group Corporation, where the carrying value of $6.36 per share as of December 31, 2025 sat below Sky Harbour's $8.97 closing price, but a sustained drop below that carrying value would likely trigger an impairment charge against Boston Omaha's earnings. The company also disclosed it could inadvertently become subject to registration as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 if the value of its minority stakes were to rise relative to its operating assets, a status it says it has taken steps — including selling marketable securities — to avoid.
