During the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, revenues also included changes in estimates of variable consideration, including profit participation and price participation, from those amounts previously recorded by the Great Park Venture.

Land sales and related party land sales revenues decreased to $232.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $369.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Previous wording
During the first quarter of 2024, we continued to focus on execution of our three main priorities: generating revenue and positive cash flow; controlling our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs; and managing our capital spend to match near-term revenue opportunities. Our consolidated net income was $6.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to a net loss of $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. SG&A expenses totaled $12.9 million for the first quarter of 2024, compared to $13.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Current wording
During the second quarter of 2024, we continued to focus on execution of our three main priorities: generating revenue and positive cash flow; controlling our selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) costs; and managing our capital spend to match near-term revenue opportunities. Our consolidated net income was $38.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to net income of $50.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. SG&A expenses totaled $12.2 million for the second quarter of 2024, compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. At June 30, 2024, we had $217.4 million in cash and $125.0 million available under our revolving credit facility, giving us total liquidity of $342.4 million.
Previous wording
The Great Park Venture, in which we have a 37.5% percentage interest and manage all aspects of the development cycle, closed the sale of 82 homesites on 11.6 acres at the Great Park Neighborhoods in the first quarter of 2024 for an aggregate gross purchase price of $74.6 million. We received $30.3 million in distributions and related payments from the Great Park Venture for both our ownership interests and incentive management fee compensation.
Current wording
Although the inflation and interest rate environment remained challenging during the three months ended June 30, 2024, we continued to see meaningful price appreciation in our land sale pricing at the Great Park Neighborhoods. The Great Park Venture, in which we have a 37.5% percentage interest and manage all aspects of the development cycle, closed the sale of 105 homesites on 12.3 acres at the Great Park Neighborhoods in the second quarter of 2024 for an aggregate gross purchase price of $96.1 million. We received $29.7 million in distributions and related payments from the Great Park Venture for both our ownership interests and incentive management fee compensation.
Previous wording
Although the interest rate environment remains challenging, we believe that the lack of resale inventory in our markets, created in part by high interest rates, will help sustain home buyer activity at our master planned communities. At Valencia, guest builders sold 62 homes during the first quarter of 2024, compared to 31 homes in the fourth quarter of 2023, increasing total homes sold to 1,312 since sales began in May 2021. At the Great Park Neighborhoods, guest builders sold a total of 69 homes during the first quarter of 2024, compared to 76 homes in the fourth quarter of 2023. We believe the reduction in home sales at the Great Park Neighborhoods was due largely to a lack of available inventory during the first quarter of 2024. We anticipate additional inventory becoming available for sale over the course of 2024.
Current wording
At Valencia, guest builders sold 84 homes during the second quarter of 2024, compared to 62 homes during the first quarter of 2024, increasing total homes sold to 1,400 since sales began in May 2021. At the Great Park Neighborhoods, guest builders sold a total of 63 homes during the second quarter of 2024, compared to 69 homes during the first quarter of 2024. We believe the low quantity of home sales at the Great Park Neighborhoods was largely due to a lack of available inventory during the first half of 2024. We anticipate additional inventory will become available for sale over the second half of 2024, and we expect demand in our chronically undersupplied housing markets to remain strong and to drive a strong finish to the year. While we do not have any planned residential land sales in the third quarter, we expect to close land sales in the fourth quarter at both the Great Park Neighborhoods and Valencia.

We are a party to a tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) with current and former holders of Class A units of the operating company and the holders of Class A units of the San Francisco Venture. The TRA provides for payments by us to such investors or their successors in aggregate amounts equal to 85% of the cash savings, if any, in income tax that we realize as a result of certain tax attributes. We expect the TRA payments to be substantial. However, the actual amount and timing of any payments under the TRA will vary depending upon a number of factors, including the timing of exchanges of Class A units of the operating company, the price of our Class A common shares at the time of such exchanges, the extent to which such exchanges are taxable and our ability to use the potential tax benefits, which will depend on the amount and timing of our taxable income and the rate at which we pay income tax. As of March 31, 2024, there were no amounts currently payable under the TRA and based on current projections, we do not expect to make any payments for the next several years.

As of June 30, 2024, there were no amounts currently payable under the TRA. However, as a result of California Senate Bill 167 signed into law on June 27, 2024, which, in part, suspends the usage of California net operating loss deductions for tax years 2024 through 2026, TRA payments associated with the accelerated California taxes may become payable starting in 2026 through 2028. The majority of TRA payments, however, are expected to begin after 2028.

Income taxes. Pre-tax income of $51.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 resulted in a $6.8 million tax provision. Pre-tax income of $40.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 resulted in no tax provision (after application of a decrease in our valuation allowance of $5.5 million) other than a small tax provision incurred by one of our consolidated subsidiary corporations. We assessed the realization of our net deferred tax asset and the need for a valuation allowance and determined that at June 30, 2024, it was more likely than not that the net deferred tax asset would be realizable, and we had no valuation allowance recorded. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was substantially similar to our effective tax rate, before changes in valuation allowance, for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Cost of land sales. Cost of land sales for the six months ended June 30, 2024 was $59.0 million, compared to $165.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The cost of land sales includes both actual and estimated future capitalized costs allocated based upon relative sales values. Since this method requires the Great Park Venture to estimate future development costs and the expected sales prices for future land sales, the profit margin on subsequent parcels sold will be affected by both changes in the estimated total revenues, as well as any changes in the estimated total cost of the project.

Management fee revenues. Management fee revenues are revenues generated by the management company from development management services provided to the Great Park Venture. The increase in management services related party revenue was mainly attributable to an increase in variable incentive compensation revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $52.8 million and $18.8 million, respectively, attributable to variable incentive compensation, mostly as a result of changes in estimates of the amount of variable incentive compensation we expect to receive.

Management services costs and expenses. Included within management services costs and expenses are general and administrative costs and expenses incurred by the management company’s project team that is managing the development of the Great Park Neighborhoods. We also include amortization expense related to the intangible asset attributable to the incentive compensation provisions of the development management agreement with the Great Park Venture within management services costs and expenses. Corporate and non-project team salaries and overhead are not allocated to management services costs and expenses or to our reportable segments and are reported in selling, general, and administrative costs in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Management services costs and expenses increased by $3.2 million, or 26.3%, to $15.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $12.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Management fees—related party. Management fees increased by $40.8 million to $72.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024, from $31.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Management fees incurred by the Great Park Venture are comprised of base development management fees and incentive compensation fees. In general, incentive compensation fees will be paid based on a percentage of distributions made to holders of the Great Park Venture’s membership interests. When payments are deemed probable of being made, the Great Park Venture recognizes the expense ratably over the period services are expected to be provided. When estimates of the amount of incentive compensation probable of being paid change, the Great Park Venture records a cumulative adjustment in the period in which the estimate changes. The increase in management fees—related party was mainly attributable to a change in the estimate of the amount of incentive compensation fees probable of being paid that resulted in a cumulative adjustment recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
