Pure Cycle Announces Financial Results

For the Three Months Ended November 30, 2023

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / January 12, 2024 – Pure Cycle Corporation (NASDAQ Capital Market: PCYO) announced its financial results for the three months ended November 30, 2023. Pure Cycle posted $2.1 million of net income for the three months ended November 30, 2023, which marks our eighteenth consecutive fiscal quarter with positive net income. Pure Cycle continues to develop its Sky Ranch Master Planned Community and for the three months ended November 30, 2023, recognized an increase in lot sale revenue of 270% compared to same period 2022 as a result of multiple on-going Phases of development. We also recognized over a 300% increase in water and wastewater revenue for the three months ended November 30, 2023, compared to 2022, due to an increase in oil and gas water sales.

Q1 2024 Highlights

ØRevenues of $5.4 million, which drove pre-tax income of $2.8 million;
ØNet income of $2.1 million;
ØEBITDA of $3.4 million (see table below for reconciliation of net income to EBITDA);

“Our Sky Ranch community continues to demonstrate solid growth with entry level homes and our great location directly off Interstate 70,” commented Mr. Harding, CEO of Pure Cycle. “We together with our homebuilder partners continue to balance our lot deliveries to match market demand, and we continue to see strong demand for affordable homes in the Denver market.  With lot inventories and existing home sales well below historic levels Sky Ranch continues to out-perform other master planned communities in Denver.  Also contributing was a record quarter for O&G water demand with a continued strong outlook for 2024,” continued Mr. Harding.

Q1 2024 Financial Summary

Revenue

For the three months ended November 30, 2023, and 2022, we reported total revenues of $5.4 million and $1.3 million with $3.3 million and $0.8 million being generated in our water and wastewater resource development segment, $2.0 million and $0.5 million generated by our land development segment, and $0.1 million and less than $0.1 million reported in our single-family rental business.


For the three months ended November 30, 2023, and 2022, we sold 15 and 4 water and wastewater taps for $0.6 million and $0.2 million. We have sold 723 water and wastewater taps at Sky Ranch in Phases 1 and 2A. Based on current prices and engineering estimates, we believe Phase 2 of Sky Ranch will exceed $20.0 million in additional water and wastewater tap fee revenue and cash over the next 3-5 years.

For the three months ended November 30, 2023, we received certain milestone payments from our Lot Delivery Agreement from home builders, which accounted for $2.9 million in milestone payments for Phase 2B. We expect to be substantially complete with the delivery of all 211 Phase 2B lots during calendar 2024. We are approximately 95% completed, with some landscape construction activities to complete in Phase 2A.

As of November 30, 2023, the single-family rental business had 14 homes built and rented in Sky Ranch and 17 additional homes forecasted for construction in Phase 2B.  As noted in the prior quarters, due to the overwhelming demand for rental homes at Sky Ranch, we expect to have a total of 91 homes in Phase 2 with the ability to add more than 200 homes as Sky Ranch builds out.

“With our diversified revenue streams, we were well positioned to take advantage of current market conditions to maximize revenue in the first quarter,” commented Marc Spezialy, CFO of Pure Cycle. “We are currently developing on multiple Phases within our Sky Ranch Master Planned Community, due to continued strong demand. We also experienced a significant increase in oil and gas drilling operations in our service area resulting in a substantial increase in commercial water sales,” concluded Mr. Spezialy.  

Working Capital

We reported working capital (current assets less current liabilities) of $20.4 million as of November 30, 2023, with $22.0 million of cash and cash equivalents.

Q1 2024 Operational Summary

Water and Wastewater Resource Development

Water deliveries increased for the three months ended November 30, 2023, to a record 623 acre-feet delivered as compared to 207 acre-feet delivered in Q1 2023, primarily due to increased sales to oil and gas operators and new Sky Ranch customers. 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 through 2024. 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 Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023 due to the timing of closings at Sky Ranch. Tap sales are driven by building permit applications and are not contractually established with the builders.

Land Development

Lot sales revenue increased in Q1 2024 compared to Q1 2023 due to timing of construction in Phase 2B at Sky Ranch. Because lot sale revenue is recognized as construction progresses, revenue will fluctuate due to timing of construction activities.

Single Family Rentals

Q1 2024 represented our first quarter of rental income for our 14 completed homes. An additional 17 homes are forecasted for construction in Phase 2B in calendar 2024.

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.
