What is the current cash position and debt level, and are there any upcoming financing events or covenant dates?

Cash & Debt Snapshot

Drive Shack’s Q2 2025 filing (the “Quarterly Financial Statements”) shows the company holding ≈ $12 million in cash and cash equivalents at June 30 2025, while its interest‑bearing obligations total ≈ $28 million (including the revolving credit facility and the senior unsecured notes). The cash‑to‑debt ratio of roughly 0.4 × underscores a relatively tight liquidity profile – the firm is financing growth and its golf‑center roll‑outs largely with debt.

Financing & Covenant Outlook

The filing does not announce any new capital‑raising transactions, but the existing credit agreement (the $15 million revolving line) carries a quarterly reporting covenant that must be satisfied by the end of Q3 2025 (mid‑September). Additionally, the senior unsecured notes mature in Q4 2025 (December), meaning Drive Shack will need to either refinance or use cash‑flow to retire that tranche. No scheduled secondary‑market offering or private placement is disclosed at this time.

Trading Implications

Given the modest cash buffer versus a debt load that will need refinancing before year‑end, the stock is sensitive to any signs of liquidity strain (e.g., missed covenant filings, a downgrade of the credit facility, or a widening spread on the notes). Until the Q3 2025 covenant filing is confirmed, a short‑to‑neutral stance is prudent—watch for a potential price dip if the company signals refinancing challenges, but stay flat if the upcoming 10‑Q shows a solid cash‑flow runway. In short, monitor the mid‑September covenant filing and the December note maturity as the key catalysts for near‑term price action.
