Pure Cycle Announces Financial Results

for the Six Months Ended February 28, 2023

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / April 12, 2023 – Pure Cycle Corporation (NASDAQ Capital Market: PCYO) announced it produced its sixteenth consecutive fiscal quarter with positive net income. Pure Cycle continues to see positive results from its Sky Ranch Master Planned Community with over 100 new home starts in Phase 2A and the initiation of construction in our next 211 lots in Phase 2B with all four of our homebuilder partners excited to continue building homes at Sky Ranch. While the national and local housing markets are experiencing some headwinds, our Sky Ranch community continues to see robust new home starts due to its much-needed entry level priced homes in the hottest front range market. In addition to our lots for sale, we continue to build homes for our own portfolio of single-family rentals, with 10 homes under construction and nearing completion. In addition, industrial water sales to oil and gas operations, although slow throughout the winter months, continued to generate positive results for that line of business and are forecasted to produce record water deliveries and oil and gas operations water sale revenues through the remainder of our fiscal year. Highlights for the first half of fiscal 2023 are presented below.

Highlights

ØRevenues for the three and six months ended February 29, 2023, were $3.0 million and $4.3 million which drove pre-tax income of $0.3 million and $0.6 million
ØEBITDA for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 of $0.9 million and $1.7 million (EBITDA defined below)
ØCash and investments totaled $22.5 million as of February 28, 2023

“Rising interest rates have generated headwinds in the housing markets with many buyers deferring the purchase of a new home.  Even with the broader market headwinds, our real-time delivery of lots to our homebuilder customers and our just in time payment for lot deliveries optimizing cash flows for both Pure Cycle and our homebuilder partners has demonstrated their value with all our homebuilders aggressively building new homes in Phase 2A and purchasing lots in our next Phase 2B.  While the timing of lot deliveries has varied from the previous year due to market pressures, Sky Ranch continues to be among the Denver metropolitan area’s most affordable and successful Master Planned Communities” commented Mr. Harding, CEO of Pure Cycle. “The winter months are always a seasonally slow time for home sales and construction, yet despite this, our homebuilding partners continue to construct homes at Sky Ranch and our Phase 2A is nearly 90% complete, with 156 of the 219 taps being sold and our homebuilder partners all wanted to make sure they have additional lots for continued building in Phase 2B. In addition to robust demand for our “For Sale” homes at Sky Ranch, working with our homebuilder partners we nearly doubled our Single-Family Rental lots in Phase 2B moving from 10 units to17 units.  We continue to see strong demand for rental units at Sky Ranch with multiple highly qualified applicants for each unit we bring online. Our entry level priced homes for sale and for rent will remain attractive in this market and we believe the future growth at Sky Ranch will remain strong,” concluded Mr. Harding.

Financial Summary

Revenue

For the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, we reported total revenues of $3.0 million and $4.7 million. This was generated by our water and wastewater resource development segment ($1.5 million and $2.8 million), our land development segment ($1.5 million and $1.8 million), and our single-family rental business (less than $0.1 million in both periods). For the six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, we reported total revenues of $4.3 million and $8.9 million. This was generated by our water and wastewater resource development segment ($2.2 million and $3.9 million), our land development segment ($2.0 million and $5.0 million), and our single-family rental business (less than $0.1 million in both periods). The decline in revenue for both periods presented was predominately due to a reduction in commercial water sales to oil and gas operators, and the slowing of the housing industry, which resulted in our construction activities being slowed over the winter to align the timing of our lot deliveries with the projected home absorptions from our homebuilding partners.

For the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, we sold 35 and 27 taps for $1.0 million and $0.9 million. For the six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, we sold 39 and 36 taps for $1.1 million and $1.1 million. These taps were sold predominately at our Sky Ranch community where we have sold a total of 798 water and wastewater taps since we began developing Sky Ranch in 2017.


As of February 28, 2023, the single-family rental business has four homes built and rented with ten additional units under construction with expected delivery dates beginning in April 2023. Additionally, after February 28, we amended two builder contracts for Phases 2B-D to change lot prices and retain an additional 19 lots which we will use in our rental division.

Profitability

We continue to be profitable with net income, positive earnings per share, and positive EBITDA as detailed in the table below:

Working Capital

We reported working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $20.3 million as of February 28, 2023, with $22.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments.

“Although the housing market softened near the end of our fiscal 2022, which continued into 2023, our strong balance sheet remains our differentiator. We have positioned ourselves with three very strong and long-term producing assets that have in the past proven to weather the inevitable up and down-market cycles. We continue to invest in our core asset, water, which we believe is the most valuable long-term, appreciable asset we can own,” commented Kevin McNeill, CFO of Pure Cycle. “With the continue participation from each of our homebuilders and increase demand for industrial water sales from oil and gas operations, we continue to forecast a strong fiscal 2023, as we continue to focus on providing a reasonably priced lot in a market that is desperate for reasonably priced homes” concluded Mr. McNeill.

Operational Summary

Water and Wastewater Resource Development

For the three months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, we delivered 10.6 million gallons and 137.9 million gallons of water to customers, a 92% decrease. For the six months ended February 28, 2023 and 2022, we delivered 78.0 million gallons and 215.2 million gallons to customers, a 64% decrease. This decrease in water sales was primarily due to declines in water used in oil and gas operations as oil and gas operators focus on other locations along the Colorado front range due to prioritizing lease obligations.  Additionally, we saw a reduction in construction water needs at Sky Ranch from slowed construction activities because of the downturn in the housing market overall and declines in water sales as less new landscaping was installed in 2023. Water and wastewater tap sales remained consistent for the periods presented. Tap sales are driven by building permit applications and are not contractually established with the builders. As evidenced by the $1.2 million of surface use payments (reported in other income) we received in Q1-2023, we believe we will see stronger water sales to oil and gas operators for the remainder of fiscal 2023.

We also continued acquiring water rights with the acquisition of additional water wells in the Lost Creek Basin for $0.3 million, which will be added to our other Lost Creek Water and our overall water portfolio for use within our Service Areas.

Land Development

Lot sales revenue decreased for the three and six months ended February 28, 2023 compared to 2022 due to the reduction of construction activities to align our deliverables with the timing of home sale absorptions by the homebuilders. Because lot sale revenue is recognized as construction progresses, revenue will fluctuate due to timing of construction activities and lot deliveries. Subsequent to February 28, 2023, we began construction activities on our next 211 Phase 2B lots and received all three first milestone payments from the home builders on the milestone payment plan, which totaled $4.1 million in payments, so revenue will begin being recognized on Phase 2B in our Q3-2023.

Single Family Rentals

We are currently renting four single-family homes at Sky Ranch under separate one-year non-cancellable leases. As of February 28, 2023, we also have ten more units under construction which we expect to be delivered at various dates throughout fiscal 2023 beginning in early May.


Share Repurchase Authorization

On November 2, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. The program is open-ended and authorizes repurchases of up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock in the open market. No shares have been repurchased under the repurchase program.

Company Information

Pure Cycle continues to diversify its operations, grow its balance sheet, and drive recurring revenues. We operate in three distinct business segments, each of which complements the other. At our core, we are an innovative and vertically integrated wholesale water and wastewater service provider. In 2017, we launched our land development segment which develops master planned communities on land we own and to which we provide water and wastewater services. 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.
