Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(unaudited)
February 28, 2026
NOTE 1 – PRESENTATION OF INTERIM INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Pure Cycle Corporation (the “Company” or “Pure Cycle”) and include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025. The August 31, 2025 balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 12, 2025. The results of operations for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used to account for certain items such as revenue recognition, the dollar amount of reimbursable costs and collectability of reimbursable costs, costs of revenue for lot sales, share-based compensation, certain accrued liabilities, and the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimatesand assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-7”). Upon adoption of this ASU, the Company has disclosed significant segment expenses, the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and an explanation of how the reported measure of segment profit or loss is used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make resource allocation decisions. Effective August 31, 2025, the Company adopted the provisions of this ASU on a retrospective basis. See Note 11.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires expanded disclosure of the Company’s income rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning September 1, 2025. The Company expects the adoption of ASU 2023-09 to result in enhanced income tax disclosures, including expanded rate reconciliation detail and disaggregated information regarding income taxes paid, in its annual consolidated financial statements. The adoption is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning September 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures.
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Changes Affecting Comparability
For the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company made changes to certain categories within its financial statements. These changes were made as part of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2023-07. The changes (i) provide additional details about the Company’s operations by reporting segment, which enable the readers of its financial statements to more easily trace the performance of its segments from the financial statements through to the notes, and (ii) align its presentation with industry peers.
The Company made changes in the presentation of “Revenues” and “Cost of revenues” categories within the Consolidated Statements of Income. As a result, changes within the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three and six months ended February 28, 2025 were made to conform to the current period presentation. The changes had no impact on gross margins or net income.
Changes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the six months ended February 28, 2025 were made to align with new categories on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
NOTE 2 – REIMBURSABLE PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS AND NOTE RECEIVABLE FROM THE SKY RANCH COMMUNITY AUTHORITY BOARD

| Related party notes receivable, including accrued interest | | $56,289 | | $45,002 | ||
The note from the Sky Ranch CAB reflects the balances owed to the Company for public improvements paid for by Pure Cycle that are reimbursable from the Sky Ranch CAB and include project management fees related to the Company’s management of the construction of the public improvements and interest accrued on the unpaid balances related to the ongoing development of the Sky Ranch master planned community (“Sky Ranch”). Pure Cycle has advanced funds to the Sky Ranch CAB for the cost of constructing certain public improvements at Sky Ranch, which are the ultimate responsibility of the Sky Ranch CAB. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, Pure Cycle spent $4.1 million and $9.9 million on public improvements, which were certified by a third-party engineer and are reimbursable by the Sky Ranch CAB to the Company and were therefore added to the note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB. Additionally, for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, project management fees of $0.2 million and $0.5 million and interest income on the outstanding note receivable of $0.8 million and $1.5 million were also added to the note receivable. During the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, the Sky Ranch CAB paid Pure Cycle $0.3 million pursuant to the note. Pursuant to the agreements with the Sky Ranch CAB, any payments received are initially applied to interest.

The note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB accrues interest at 6% per annum. Public improvements that do not qualify for reimbursement at the time of being incurred are considered contract fulfillment costs related to the delivery of lots to the Company’s home builder customers and are recorded as land development construction costs as incurred. If public improvement costs are deemed qualified for reimbursement, the costs are recognized as notes receivable - related party. The Company assesses the collectability of the note receivable from the Sky Ranch CAB, which includes reimbursable public improvements, project management fees and the related interest income, at each reporting period. The Sky Ranch CAB has an obligation to repay the Company, but the ability of the Sky Ranch CAB to do so before the contractual termination dates is dependent upon the establishment of a tax base or other fee generating activities sufficient to fund reimbursable costs incurred.
NOTE 3 – REVENUES, FEES AND OTHER INCOME ITEMS
The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from three unique segments: (1) sales of water and wastewater taps, metered water and wastewater usage; (2) the sale of lots to home builders; and (3) rent collected from its single-family homes. Detailed descriptions of the policies related to revenue recognition are included in Note 2 to the financial statements included in the 2025 Annual Report.
The following describes significant components of revenue for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025.
Water and wastewater tap fees– During the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company sold a total of 44 and 52 water taps, respectively, generating $1.3 million and $1.7 million in tap fee revenues, respectively. During the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company sold a total of 38 and 52 wastewater taps, respectively, generating $0.3 million and $0.4 million in tap fee revenues, respectively. During the six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company sold a total of 95 and 90 water taps, respectively, generating $2.7 million and $2.9 million in tap fee revenues, respectively. During the six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company sold a total of 69 and 87 wastewater taps, respectively, generating $0.6 million and $0.7 million in tap fee revenues, respectively. The water taps were all sold at Sky Ranch and Wild Pointe, and the wastewater taps were all sold at Sky Ranch.
Water and wastewater activities – During the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company sold a total of 272 and 64 acre-feet of water, respectively, generating $1.3 million and $0.4 million in metered water and wastewater treatment fees revenue, respectively. During the six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company sold a total of 418 and 367 acre-feet of water, respectively, generating $2.1 million and $1.7 million in metered water and wastewater treatment fees revenue, respectively. The Company provides water and wastewater services to customers and charges monthly usage fees. Water usage fees are assessed to customers based on actual metered usage each month plus a base monthly service fee assessed per single family equivalent (“SFE”) unit served. One SFE is a customer, whether residential, commercial or industrial, that imparts a demand on the Company’s water or wastewater systems similar to the demand of a family offour persons living in a single-family house on a standard-sized lot. Water usage pricing is based on a tiered pricing structure, and certain usage revenues are subject to royalties as described in the 2025 Annual Report. Historically, the Company’s largest customers for water are industrial users, mainly oil and gas companies using water in drilling and hydraulic fracking processes.
Lot sales– For the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $1.6 million and $1.1 million of lot sales revenue, respectively, which was recognized using the percent-of-completion method for the Company’s land development activities at the Sky Ranch Master Planned Community. For the six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company recognized $7.7 million and $3.5 million of lot sales revenue, respectively, which was recognized using the percent-of-completion method for the Company’s land development activities at the Sky Ranch Master Planned Community. As of February 28, 2026, the first development phase (509 lots) is complete and the second development phase (1,031 lots) is being developed infive subphases, referred to as Phase 2A (229 lots), Phase 2B (211 lots), Phase 2C (228 lots), Phase 2D (204 lots) and Phase 2E (159 lots). These numbers include lots reserved for the Company’s single-family home rental business.

Single-family rental revenue
As of February 28, 2026, Pure Cycle has 19 single-family detached homes which are either rented or available to rent under separate lease agreements. Pure Cycle generally rents its single-family properties undernon-cancelable one-year lease agreements.

When combined with the 19 units already built, these additions will bring the total single-family rentals to 62. The Company expects the majority of these homes to be built and rented in 2026, at which point Pure Cycle will evaluate the economics of the segment to determine the pace of future expansion into the rental market.

The Company recognizes lot sales over time as construction activities progress and not necessarily when payment is received. For example, the Company may receive milestone payments before revenue can be recognized (i.e., prior to the Company completing cumulative progress which faithfully represents the transfer of goods and services to the customer), which results in the Company recording deferred revenue. The Company recognizes this revenue into income as construction activities progress, measured based on costs incurred compared to total estimated costs of the project, which management believes is a faithful representation of the transfer of goods and services to the customer.
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations such as described above represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.
NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The carrying value for certain of the Company’s financial instruments (i.e., cash, restricted cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, the SFR Notes and the Lost Creek Note (each as defined in Note 6 below) approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.
As of February 28, 2026 and August 31, 2025, the Company hadno assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis. As of February 28, 2026 and August 31, 2025, the Company hadone Level 3 asset (notes receivable – related party), evaluated at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, for which the Company didnot record any impairment charges.
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 categories during the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025.
NOTE 5 – WATER, LAND AND OTHER FIXED ASSETS
The Company’s water rights and current water and wastewater service agreements, including capitalized terms not defined herein, are more fully described in Note 4 to the financial statements in the 2025 Annual Report.

The Facility Agreement provides up to $10 million to finance new single-family rental homes. Under the Facility Agreement the Company guarantees payment and performance by its subsidiaries of obligations due under the Facility Agreement and related lending documents, which are secured by the single-family homes financed under the Facility Agreement. The Facility Agreement allows the Company and its subsidiaries the flexibility to close on multiple single-family rental homes over a short duration with a variable per annum interest rate equal to the Western Edition of the Wall Street Journal as Prime Rate, with a floor of 4.55%. Under the Facility Agreement the Company and its subsidiaries have the option to consolidate multiple single-family rental homes into term loans, which would bear interest at a rate per annum equal to current 5-year US Constant Maturity Treasury rate plus a margin of 2.75% at the time of conversion. The term loan will be amortized over 25 years with afive year balloon payment. The Facility Agreement contains financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum Tangible Net Worth of $75 million, minimum liquidity of $5 million, and a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as each term is defined in the Facility Agreement) of 1.00 to 1.00 for PCYO Home Rentals, LLC, and 1.30 to 1.00 for the Company. The Company received a written waiver from the bank regarding the $5 million minimum liquidity requirement for February 28, 2026, and was therefore in compliance with all covenants and requirements as of that date. As of February 28, 2026, the Company has drawn $1.3 million on one term loan with a fixed per annum interest rate equal to 6.34%. The term loan has fixed monthly principal and interest payments of approximately $8,800 and a balloon payment of $1.2 million due on October 21, 2030.
Working Capital Line of Credit
On February 18, 2026, the SFR Facility Agreement was amended to add the Company as a direct borrower instead of as a guarantor and to include an additional $10 million in lending capacity in the form of an operating line of credit (the “Working Capital LOC”). The Working Capital LOC has athree-year maturity, monthly interest-only payments if the line is drawn upon with unpaid principal and interest due at maturity, and a floating per annum interest rate equal to the Wall Street Journal Prime Rate (6.75% as of February 28, 2026), with a floor of 4.50%. In the event of default, the interest rate on the Working Capital LOC would be increased by an additional 5.0%. The Working Capital LOC has the same financial covenants as the SFR Facility Agreement. As of February 28, 2026, the Company has drawn $0.1 million on the Working Capital LOC. The Company’s prior operating line of credit of $5 million expired on January 31, 2026.
Letters of Credit
At February 28, 2026, the Company had 12 Irrevocable Letters of Credit (“LOCs”) outstanding. The LOCs guarantee the Company’s performance related to certain construction projects at Sky Ranch relating to the delivery of finished lots and as collateral for payment obligations outlined in the construction contract for certain single-family rental homes in Phase 2C. The Company has the intent and ability to perform on the contracts, after which the LOCs will expire at various dates from March 2026 through December 2026. As of February 28, 2026, the LOCs totaled $6.8 million, which are secured by cash balances maintained in restricted cash accounts at the Company’s bank. The Company has the ability to renew the LOCs with its new banking partner by utilizing capacity under the Working Capital LOC. LOCs issued under our Working Capital LOC have a 1.25% annual fee.

NOTE 12 – EARNINGS PER SHARE
Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Certain outstanding options are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation because they are anti-dilutive (i.e., their assumed conversion into common stock would increase rather than decrease EPS). For the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company excluded 389,396 options and 377,040 options, respectively, because their impact was anti-dilutive. For the six months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, the Company excluded 392,216 and 389,603 options, respectively, because their impact was anti-dilutive.

NOTE 13 – INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision for interim periods is determined using an estimate of the annual effective tax rate, adjusted for discrete items. As of February 28, 2026, the Company is estimating an annual effective tax rate of approximately 24%. Each quarter, the estimate of the annual effective tax rate is updated, and if the estimated effective tax rate changes, a cumulative adjustment is made. There is a potential for volatility of the effective tax rate due to various factors.
The provision for income taxes is recorded at the end of each interim period based on the Company’s best estimate of its effective income tax rate expected to be applicable for the full fiscal year considering any items requiring discrete recognition.
The effective income tax rate for the three and six months ended February 28, 2026 was impacted by adjustments related to reconciling items between the Company’s books and tax returns.
