The housing market stabilized in 2024 as the Federal Reserve shifted from an aggressive monetary policy in 2023 to a balance policy in 2024 with interest rates remaining relatively consistent throughout 2024. However, with the rising interest rates in 2022 and 2023, the 30-year fixed mortgage rates are still at their highest level in over 15 years. Homebuilders' strategic use of interest rate buydowns as incentives has played a crucial role in driving sales during higher levels of interest rates.

Current wording

The housing market stabilized in 2024 and into 2025 as the Federal Reserve shifted from an aggressive monetary policy in 2023 to a balanced policy in 2024 and early 2025 with relatively consistent interest rates. However, with the rising interest rates in 2022 and 2023, the 30-year fixed mortgage rates are still at their highest level in over 15 years. Homebuilders' strategic use of interest rate buydowns as incentives has played a crucial role in driving sales during higher levels of interest rates.

Previous wording

We believe several long-term land development and housing market fundamental factors remain positive, including favorable demographics, a lot and housing supply-demand imbalance resulting from a decade-plus of underproduction of new homes in relation to population growth, and low resale home inventory. While we remain confident in the long-term growth prospects for the industry given these factors, the current demand for new homes is subject to continued uncertainty due to many factors. The combination of higher mortgage interest rates since early 2022, several years of rising housing prices, elevated inflation, and various other macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns, has been moderating housing demand. Although interest and inflation rates have been stabilizing, we expect this moderate demand to continue into 2025. Given current conditions, we will continue to monitor market dynamics and surrounding community performance and adjust the timing of additional construction expenditures at Sky Ranch as necessary. We believe our reasonably priced (entry level) lots and the low inventory of entry level housing in the Denver market will help Sky Ranch navigate the changing market better than other surrounding and significantly higher priced communities.

Current wording

Despite recent market uncertainty stemming from anticipated US governmental policy changes, we maintain a positive long-term outlook on land development and the housing market based on fundamental factors remaining positive.

While we remain confident in the long-term growth prospects for the industry given these factors, the current demand for new homes is subject to continued uncertainty due to many factors.

Our future performance and the strategies we implement (and adjust or refine as necessary or appropriate) will depend significantly on prevailing economics, the homebuilding industry, capital, credit and financial market conditions and a fairly stable and constructive political and regulatory environment (particularly regarding housing and mortgage loan financing policies). The continuing impact of the Federal Reserve’s aggressive raising of the federal funds interest rate and other measures during 2022 and 2023 to moderate persistent U.S. inflation and the uncertainty in future Federal Reserve monetary policy, are expected to be an ongoing headwind for the housing market in 2025 and beyond, as they have elevated mortgage loan interest rates and created macroeconomic uncertainty and volatility across financial markets. Prolonged supply chain disruptions and other production-related challenges could extend or delay our construction cycle times and intensify construction-related cost pressures beyond our experience in 2024. In addition, consumer demand for our homes, and our ability to grow our scale, revenue and returns in fiscal 2025 could be materially and negatively affected by the above-described monetary policy impacts or other factors that curtail mortgage loan availability, employment or income growth or consumer confidence in the U.S. or in the Colorado markets. The potential extent and effect of these factors on our business is highly uncertain, unpredictable and outside our control, and our past performance, including in fiscal 2024, should not be considered indicative of our future results.

For more than 30 years, we have accumulated and continue to accumulate a portfolio of valuable water rights and land interests along the Front Range of Colorado. We have added an extensive network of wholesale water production, storage, treatment and distribution systems, and wastewater collection and treatment systems that we operate and maintain to serve domestic, commercial, and industrial customers in the eastern Denver metropolitan region. Our primary land asset, known as Sky Ranch, is in one of the most active development areas in the Denver metropolitan region along the rapidly developing I-70 corridor, and we are developing lots at Sky Ranch for residential, commercial, retail, and light industrial uses. Sky Ranch is zoned to include up to 3,200 single family and multifamily homes, parks, open spaces, trails, recreational centers, schools, and over two million square feet of retail, commercial and light industrial space, all of which will be serviced by our water and wastewater services segment. Additionally, we have retained lots in our Sky Ranch development for our single-family rental business where we build single-family homes for rent, typically under annual lease agreements. With 14 homes currently owned and rented, we continue to expand this new line of business which may include more than 200 rental homes at Sky Ranch over the next several years.

We have been developing the Sky Ranch community since 2017, which we are developing in phases. We believe it will take approximately eight to ten more years to fully develop Sky Ranch. In 2017, we began the initial development phase of Sky Ranch when we entered separate contracts with several national homebuilders, pursuant to which we sold a total of 505 single-family, detached residential lots at Sky Ranch. Pursuant to these agreements, we were obligated to construct infrastructure and other public improvements as well as wholesale infrastructure improvements (i.e., a wastewater reclamation facility and wholesale water facilities). Phase 1 of the Sky Ranch development is complete, and all revenue and costs have been recognized.

During our fiscal 2021, we began construction on the second development phase at Sky Ranch. For this phase, we entered separate contracts with KB Home, Lennar Colorado, Melody (a DR Horton Company), and Challenger Homes to sell 781 single-family attached and detached residential lots at Sky Ranch, and we retained approximately 93 lots (through such contracts and subsequent amendments) for use in our single-family home rental business. The second development phase is approximately 250 acres and is being completed in four sub-phases (referred to as Phase 2A, 2B, 2C and 2D). Due to our strong performance in the first phase of the Sky Ranch project, we were able to realize an approximate 38% increase in our average lot prices in Phase 2. For example, we increased our sales price for a 45’ foot lot from an average of $75,000 to $103,200 and added an escalation clause that increases the prices depending on timing of payments. The timing of cash flows includes certain milestone deliveries such as the completion of governmental approvals for final plats, installation of wet utilities, and final completion of lot deliveries.

Previous wording

For the three months ended November 30, 2024 and 2023, we generated net income of $3.9 million and $2.1 million. The increase was primarily due to an increase in oil and gas royalty income. Total revenue was consistent during the two periods. Lot sales revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method, which is based on progress of construction. Despite increased challenges on the housing market, our land development activities continue to perform well and increased compared to the prior year period, as we continue construction on Phase 2B and 2C at Sky Ranch. We believe the increase in lot sales revenue is due to our entry level pricing and affordable lot costs. The increase in lot sale revenue was offset by a decrease in water revenue due to decreased water sales to oil and gas operators.

Current wording

For the six months ended February 28, 2025 and February 29, 2024, we generated net income of $4.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively.

For the three months ended November 30, 2024, total revenue increased as compared to 2023, primarily due to multiple on-going Phases in 2025. During the three months ended November 30, 2024 we were developing in Phase 2A, Phase 2B and Phase 2C, compared to Phase 2A and Phase 2B in the three months ended November 30, 2023, resulting in more revenue being recognized. The increase was offset by a decrease in our water and wastewater sales period over period due to a decrease in commercial water sales for oil and gas operations. Lot sales are recognized using the percentage of completion method. Construction activity increased in 2025, despite the increased challenges on the housing market.

Current wording

For the three and six months ended February 28, 2025, total revenue increased as compared to 2024, primarily due to water and wastewater tap fee revenue in 2025.

Phase 1 of the Sky Ranch development is complete, Phase 2 began in February 2021, which is being done in four subphases, of which Phase 2A, Phase 2B and Phase 2C are being actively developed as of November 30, 2024. We estimate total costs to complete the infrastructure (including public improvements) for all 886 lots in Phase 2 to total $80.9 million. Of this, we anticipate spending up to $26.5 million in the next 12 months, and we anticipate receiving approximately $21.4 million in milestone payments from our builder customers and completed lot payments. Additionally, we expect to receive tap fee payments from our builder customers over the same period. The amounts we expect to spend and receive in the next 12 months are dependent on the pace of construction in Phase 2B, Phase 2C and Phase 2D. We believe water and wastewater tap fees as well as progress payments from our homebuilder customers and our existing cash balances will fund our obligations for the next 12 months.
