Land sales and related party land sales revenues. Total land sales revenues decreased by $60.3 million to $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $60.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in total land sales revenues was primarily attributable to the recognition of revenue from the sale of land entitled for an aggregate of 146 homesites on approximately 26 acres during the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to no land sales during the same period in 2024. The fixed base purchase price was $60.6 million for the 2023 sales.

Current report

Cost of land sales. Valencia closed no land sales and therefore had no cost of land sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $39.0 million for the three months ended September 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 us 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.

Current report

Land sales and related party land sales revenues. Total land sales revenues decreased by $60.1 million to $1.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, from $61.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The decrease in total land sales revenues was primarily attributable to the recognition of revenue from the sale of land entitled for an aggregate of 146 homesites on approximately 26 acres during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to no land sales during the same period in 2024.

Land sales and related party land sales revenues increased to $61.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $3.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of revenue from the sale of 12.8 acres of commercial land planned for retail uses at the Great Park Neighborhoods during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to no land sales during the same period in 2023. The base purchase price was $25.4 million for the 2024 land sales.

Reworded paragraphs (44)

Previous 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.

Current wording

We generated consolidated net income of $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to net income of $14.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023. Our net income for the quarter was largely driven by incentive compensation revenue recognized, and equity in earnings from, the Great Park Venture. We also 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. SG&A expenses totaled $11.9 million for each of the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. At September 30, 2024, we had $224.5 million in cash and $125.0 million available under our revolving credit facility, giving us total liquidity of $349.5 million.

Previous 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.

Current wording

Although the Federal Reserve announced a meaningful rate cut during the third quarter of 2024, mortgage rates generally remained elevated. Notwithstanding the challenging rate environment, we continued to see sustained demand for land from homebuilders at both of our active communities in Valencia and 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 two retail use commercial land sales totaling 12.8 acres at the Great Park Neighborhoods in the third quarter of 2024 for an aggregate gross purchase price of $25.4 million. We received $49.4 million in distributions and related payments from the Great Park Venture for both our ownership interests and incentive management fee compensation. We also extended the term of our development management agreement with the Great Park Venture through December 31, 2026, pursuant to which we increased the base management fee while maintaining incentive compensation at existing levels. We believe that the development management joint venture model we have utilized with the Great Park Venture can be extended to new communities and development projects.

Previous 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.

Current wording

At Valencia, guest builders sold 89 homes during the third quarter of 2024, compared to 84 homes during the second quarter of 2024, increasing total homes sold to 1,525 since sales began in May 2021. At the Great Park Neighborhoods, guest builders sold a total of 166 homes during the third quarter of 2024, compared to 63 homes during the second quarter of 2024. During the third quarter of 2024, homebuilders opened 10 new collections at the Great Park Neighborhoods that were well received by homebuyers leading to the increase in home sales in the third quarter compared to the second quarter of 2024. We expect demand in our chronically undersupplied housing markets to remain strong and to drive a strong finish to the year. While we did not have any scheduled residential land sale closing in the third quarter of 2024, we expect to close residential land sales in the fourth quarter of 2024 at both the Great Park Neighborhoods and Valencia.
