Pure Cycle Announces Financial Results

For the Year Ended August 31, 2024

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / November 13, 2024 – Pure Cycle Corporation (NASDAQ Capital Market: PCYO) announced its financial results for the year ended August 31, 2024. Pure Cycle reported $11.6 million of net income for the year ended August 31, 2024, which is a 147% increase compared to 2023, and marks our seventh consecutive year and twenty-first consecutive fiscal quarter with positive net income. Pure Cycle reported $0.48 of earnings per fully diluted common shares, which is up from $0.19 in 2023, a 153% increase. We recognized a 135% increase in lot sales revenue for the year ended August 31, 2024 compared to 2023, due to an increase in our development activity. Pure Cycle continues to develop its Sky Ranch Master Planned Community, and as of August 31, 2024, we are actively working on Phases 2A, 2B and 2C. Phase 2A and 2B are substantially completed with finished lots delivered to homebuilders. We expect home builders to be able to begin construction in Phase 2C during fiscal 2025 and to start home building in Phase 2D in fiscal 2026.

As we complete final landscaping in Phase 2A, lot production accelerated deliveries in the remaining half of our fiscal year with completion of approximately 211 lots in Phase 2B and substantial progress on our overlapping production of 228 lots in Phase 2C,” commented Mark Harding, CEO of Pure Cycle. “Also contributing were record 2024 YTD water sales to oil and gas customers with a continued strong outlook over the next several years,” continued Mr. Harding.

Full Year 2024 Financial Summary

Revenues

For the years ended August 31, 2024, and 2023, we reported total revenue of $28.7 million and $14.6 million with $11.6 million and $7.3 million being generated in our water and wastewater resource development segment, $16.7 million and $7.1 million generated by our land development segment, and $0.5 million and $0.2 million reported in our single-family rental business.

For the years ended August 31, 2024, and 2023, we sold 73 and 104 water or water and wastewater taps for $3.4 million and $3.0 million. As of August 31, 2024, we have sold 777 water and wastewater taps at Sky Ranch in Phases 1, 2A, and 2B. Based on current prices and engineering estimates, we believe Phase 2 of Sky Ranch will produce additional tap fee revenue of $19.8 million in water and wastewater tap fee revenue and cash over the next three years.

As of August 31, 2024, the first development phase (509 lots) is complete and the second development phase (874 lots) is being developed in four subphases, referred to as Phase 2A (229 lots), Phase 2B (211 lots), Phase 2C (228 lots) and Phase 2D (218 lots). As of August 31, 2024, Phase 2A is approximately 99% complete, Phase 2B is approximately 92% complete and Phase 2C is approximately 27% complete. Phases 2A and 2B are substantially completed with some landscaping items remaining. Phase 2C is expected to be complete by the end of Pure Cycle’s fiscal 2025 and Phase 2D is expected to be complete by the end of calendar 2025.

As of August 31, 2024, the single-family rental business had 14 homes built and rented in Sky Ranch and 17 additional homes forecasted for construction in Phase 2B with 12 currently under contract to build. As noted in the prior quarters, due to the overwhelming demand for rental homes at Sky Ranch, we expect to have a total of 94 homes in Phase 2 with the ability to add more than 200 homes as Sky Ranch builds out.

“Our land development segment continued to ramp up in fiscal 2024, and we expect this trend to continue into the next fiscal year with various phases concurrently under development,” commented Marc Spezialy, CFO of Pure Cycle. “We have delivered 949 finished lots to home builders in Sky Ranch while retaining 31 lots for our single-family rental segment, and we are under construction on 228 lots in Phase 2C scheduled for delivery in fiscal 2025. We will also begin to develop an additional 218 lots in Phase 2D with scheduled delivery in fiscal 2026,” concluded Mr. Spezialy.

Working Capital

We reported working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $28.5 million as of August 31, 2024, with $22.1 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Full Year 2024 Operational Summary

Water and Wastewater Resource Development

Water deliveries increased for the year ended August 31, 2024, to a record 1,818 acre-feet delivered as compared to 964 acre-feet delivered for 2023. Of this, 77% and 64% were sold to oil and gas operations. Oil and gas operations are highly variable and dependent on oil prices, demand for gas, and timing of development of other leases in our service areas; however, our current expectation is for continued strong demand for oil and gas water sales for the coming years. As Sky Ranch continues to develop, we anticipate continued growth in our residential water and wastewater service revenues. Water and wastewater tap sales increased in 2024 compared to 2023, primarily due to the type of taps (commercial vs. residential) sold during each year and a price increase of water and wastewater taps in 2024.

Land Development

Lot sales revenue increased to $16.0 million for the year ended August 31, 2024 compared to $6.8 million in 2023. Increases during the year are primarily due to an increase in lot deliveries at Sky Ranch and our accelerated development activities with three ongoing phases in our Sky Ranch Master Planned Community. The number of lots delivered increased in 2024 compared to 2023 due to the remaining lots of Phase 2B and beginning lots of Phase 2C having been delivered by the end of fiscal 2024.

Single Family Rentals

Fiscal 2024 represented our first year of rental income for our 14 completed homes. An additional 17 homes are forecasted for construction in Phase 2B in calendar 2025.

Company Information

Pure Cycle continues to grow and strengthen its operations, grow its balance sheet, and drive recurring revenues. We operate in three distinct business segments, each of which complements the other.

In 2021, we launched our newest line of business, the rental of single-family homes located at Sky Ranch, which provides long-term recurring revenues, furthers our land development operations, and adds more customers to our water resource segment.

OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS<br>SINGLE<br>- FAMILY RENTAL<br>Maximizing Land Development Opportunities: By developing<br>single-family homes for rent on these properties, the company<br>can enhance the value of its landholdings and generate<br>consistent income.<br>Recurring Revenue: SFR properties provide a steady, recurring<br>revenue stream. This aligns with Pure Cycle’s strategy to<br>balance its revenue mix<br>Leverage Market Demand: The SFR market has been booming,<br>driven by increased demand for rental housing from families<br>who prefer single-family homes over apartments but may not<br>be ready or able to purchase a home. This demand is especially<br>strong in suburban and near-urban areas, where Pure Cycle has<br>land.<br>Higher Return on Investment: Developing rental properties on<br>their land potentially offers higher returns than simply selling<br>lots or developing for sale. This allows Pure Cycle to capitalize<br>on both land appreciation and rental income.<br>Pure Cycle Corporation entered the<br>single-family rental (SFR) market as<br>a strategic move to diversify and<br>expand its revenue streams.
