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.
Previous 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.

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.

Commercial Segment
Previous report
We have a 75% interest in the Gateway Commercial Venture that is held through a wholly owned subsidiary of the operating company, and we serve as the manager of the Gateway Commercial Venture. However, the manager’s authority is limited. Major decisions by the Gateway Commercial Venture generally require unanimous approval by an executive committee composed of two people designated by us and two people designated by another investor. Some decisions require approval by all of the members of the Gateway Commercial Venture. We do not include the Gateway Commercial Venture as a consolidated subsidiary in our condensed consolidated financial statements. However, as a result of our 75% economic interest and our role as manager, we assess our investment in the Gateway Commercial Venture based on the financial information of the Gateway Commercial Venture in its entirety, and we include the Gateway Commercial Venture’s financial results within the Commercial segment. Additionally, the management company has been engaged by the Gateway Commercial Venture to provide property management services to the Five Point Gateway Campus. We include the management company’s results of operations related to these property management services within the Commercial segment.
Previous report

In 2020, the Gateway Commercial Venture sold three of the buildings and approximately 11 acres of land at the campus. Our corporate headquarters are located in the fourth building, which remains owned by the Gateway Commercial Venture. In addition to the fourth building, the Gateway Commercial Venture owns approximately 50 acres of commercial land with additional development rights at the campus.

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 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.
Current wording
During the first quarter of 2025, mortgage rates remained elevated and have increased more recently as economic uncertainty has resulted from shifting trade and tariff policies. During the quarter, however, we continued to see sustained demand for land from homebuilders at both our Great Park Neighborhoods and Valencia communities. The Great Park Venture, in which we have a 37.5% percentage interest and manage all aspects of the development cycle, closed sales to three different builders consisting of 325 homesites totaling 23.6 acres at the Great Park Neighborhoods in the first quarter of 2025 for an aggregate purchase price of $278.9 million. We received $143.3 million in distributions and related payments from the Great Park Venture for both our ownership interests and incentive management fee compensation.
Previous 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.
Current wording
At Valencia, our guest builders sold 69 homes during the first quarter of 2025, compared to 74 homes during the fourth quarter of 2024, increasing total homes sold to 1,668 since sales began in May 2021. At the Great Park Neighborhoods, guest builders sold a total of 233 homes during the first quarter of 2025, compared to 143 homes during the fourth quarter of 2024. The collections that opened in the second half of 2024 at the Great Park Neighborhoods continue to be well received by homebuyers leading to the increase in home sales in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the fourth quarter of 2024. Despite the potential impacts of tariff and trade policies, we expect demand in our chronically undersupplied housing markets to remain steady and to support planned homesite sales to builders over the remainder of the year.

Revenue recognized of $357.8 million for the 2023 land sale consisted of $214.7 million paid at closing, plus $143.1 million in estimated variable consideration from future price participation payments expected to be received when homes are sold to homebuyers. The 798 homesites were sold to an unaffiliated land banking entity whereby a related party retained the option to acquire the homesites in the future from the land bank entity.

Land sales and related party land sales revenues. Land sales and related party land sales revenues increased to $285.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, from $92.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of revenue from the sale of land at the Great Park Neighborhoods entitled for an aggregate of 325 homesites on 23.6 acres during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the recognition of revenue from the sale of land at the Great Park Neighborhoods entitled for an aggregate of 82 homesites on 11.6 acres during the three months ended March 31, 2024. For the 2025 land sales, the base purchase price was $278.9 million, and 197 of the homesites were sold to an unaffiliated land banking entity whereby Lennar retained the option to acquire the homesites in the future from the land bank entity. The base purchase price was $74.6 million for the 2024 land sales.

During the three months ended September 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. During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Great Park Venture recognized $6.0 million and $2.8 million, respectively, in profit participation revenues received from homebuilders. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Great Park Venture recognized additional estimated variable consideration of $30.0 million related to prior period land sales for future price participation payments expected to be received when homes are sold to homebuyers. The increase in estimated variable consideration reflects updated pricing and absorption assumptions used to calculate expected price participation payments.

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 three months ended September 30, 2024. For the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, we recognized $12.9 million and $1.4 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.
Current wording
Management fee revenues. Management fee revenues are revenues generated by the management company from development management services provided to the Great Park Venture. In September 2024, the development management agreement with the Great Park Venture was renewed by mutual agreement of the parties through December 31, 2026 (the “second renewal term”). In connection with the extension under the second renewal term, the annual fixed base fee was increased to $13.5 million beginning in 2025, which reflects an increase from the $12.0 million annual fixed base fee for 2024. The incentive compensation provisions of the development management agreement remain unchanged through the second renewal term. The increase in management services related party revenue was mainly attributable to the increase in the annual fixed base fee and an increase in variable incentive compensation revenue recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2025. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we recognized $9.2 million and $5.6 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 $1.9 million, or 79.5%, to $4.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023.

Management fees—related party. Management fees increased by $14.1 million to $18.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, from $4.7 million for the three months ended September 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 three months ended September 30, 2024.

Our long-term cash needs relate primarily to future horizontal development expenditures and investments in or vertical construction costs for properties that we may acquire or develop for an income-producing portfolio, along with debt service and general and administrative expenses. We budget our cash development costs on an annual basis. Budgeted amounts are subject to change due to delays or accelerations in construction or regulatory approvals, changes in inflation rates and other increases (or decreases) in costs. We may also modify our development plans or change the sequencing of our communities in response to changing economic conditions, consumer preferences and other factors, which could have a material impact on the timing and amount of our development costs. Budgeted amounts are expected to be funded through a combination of available cash, cash flows from our communities and reimbursements from public financing, including community facilities districts, tax increment financing and local, state and federal grants. Cash flows from our communities may occur in uneven patterns as cash is primarily generated by land sales and reimbursements, which can occur at various points over the life cycle of our communities.

We currently expect to have sufficient capital to fund the horizontal development of our communities in accordance with our development plan for several years. The level of capital expenditures in any given year may vary due to, among other things, the number of communities or neighborhoods under development and the number of planned deliveries, which may vary based on market conditions. We may seek to raise additional capital by accessing the debt or equity capital markets or with one or more revolving or term loan facilities or other public or private financing alternatives, including entering into joint ventures. These financings may not be available on attractive terms, or at all.

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 or Class A units of the San Francisco Venture, 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 September 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 $65.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 resulted in a $8.7 million tax provision. Pre-tax income of $55.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 resulted in no tax provision (after application of a decrease in our valuation allowance of $7.4 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 September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2024 was substantially similar to our effective tax rate, before changes in valuation allowance, for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.

Cost of land sales. Cost of land sales for the three months ended September 30, 2024 was $8.1 million, compared to no cost of land sales 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 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.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Great Park Venture recognized additional estimated variable consideration of $66.6 million related to prior period land sales for future price participation payments expected to be received when homes are sold to homebuyers. The increase in estimated variable consideration reflects updated pricing and absorption assumptions used to calculate expected price participation payments.
