Current report

For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net income attributable to common stockholders of $1,670,000 compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,836,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The primary drivers of this $3,506,000 increase in net income were higher farming revenues of $1,093,000, lower farming expenses of $890,000, and an income tax benefit of $972,000 compared to a tax provision of $1,832,000 in the prior period, partially offset by a $774,000 decrease in equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures.

Current report

•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment revenues were $3,124,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $122,000, or 4%, from $3,002,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher lease revenues from the Terra Vista properties and additional communication leases primarily related to easements, partially offset by lower revenues from the Pastoria Energy Facility due to cooler summer temperatures in 2025 compared to 2024.

Current report

•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses were $2,148,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $60,000, or 3%, from $2,088,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to depreciation from buildings being placed into service at Terra Vista and related operating expenses, offset by a reduction in selling, general and administrative expenses.

Current report

Resort/residential real estate development segment expenses were $318,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $10,000 from $328,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 with no significant fluctuations across expenses categories.

Current report

•Mineral resources segment revenues were $3,172,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, representing an increase of $6,000, compared to $3,166,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024, remaining relatively unchanged. Oil and gas revenues were lower due to lower production levels and lower pricing, and cement revenues were also lower due to lower production levels offset by a slight improvement in pricing. These decreases were offset by increased rock aggregate revenues due to higher production levels and additional water sales.

Current report

•Mineral resources segment expenses were $2,121,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $309,000, or 17%, from $1,812,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2024. The increase was primarily due to higher operating expenses of $286,000, driven by increased property taxes of $272,000 due to a property tax refund in 2024 and higher costs of transmitting water of $71,000 in cost of sales.

Current report

•Mineral resources segment revenues were $7,277,000 for the first nine months of 2025, a decrease of $410,000, or 5%, from $7,687,000 for the first nine months of 2024. The decrease in revenues was primarily attributable to a decline in oil and gas due to lower production levels and lower pricing and cement sales due to lower production levels despite a slight improvement in pricing.

Current report

•Mineral resources segment expenses were $4,996,000 for the first nine months of 2025, a decrease of $47,000, or 1%, when compared to the same period in 2024 reflecting consistent performance year over year.

Current report

•Farming segment revenues totaled $4,335,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, an increase of $1,093,000, or 34%, compared to $3,242,000 for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher wine grape sales resulting from increased production volumes for wine grapes harvested during the period ended September, 30 2025.

Current report

•Farming segment expenses were $5,362,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $890,000, or 14%, from $6,252,000 during the same period in 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to lower costs of sales of $752,000 driven by lower costs in pruning, and irrigation, in addition to lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $383,000 driven by lower fixed water obligations partially offset by an increase in depreciation expenses of $195,000.

Current report

•Farming segment expenses were $9,407,000 for the first nine months of 2025, an increase of $1,000, from $9,406,000 compared to the same period in 2024, remaining relatively consistent.

Current report

The decrease was primarily attributable to lower selling, general and administrative expenses of $57,000 mostly related to lower overhead costs across various categories.

Current report

Corporate general and administrative costs were $2,868,000 for the three months ended September 30, 2025, a decrease of $77,000, from $2,945,000 for the same period in 2024. Although overall expenses remained relatively consistent between periods, the current period included a decrease of $1,244,000 in stock-based compensation, offset by an increase of $867,000 in professional service fees.

Current report

During the first nine months of 2024, our operations provided $1,045,000 primarily related to cash generated by a change in our operating assets. Collection of accounts receivables provided $5,200,000 of cash, which was partially offset by cash used in growing our crop inventories of $3,365,000.

Previous report

For the six months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $3,176,000 compared to a net income attributable to common stockholders of $43,000 for the same period in 2024. The primary driver of this $3,219,000 increase in net loss was due to the $3,399,000 additional expense incurred related to the contested board election and proxy defense efforts mentioned above during the six months ended June 30, 2025.

Previous report

•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment revenues were $5,107,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $2,557,000, or 100%, from $2,550,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of $2,373,000 in land sale revenue following the Company's completion of the performance obligation associated with a land sale transaction that occurred in 2022. Additionally, revenue from the Pastoria Energy Facility increased by $98,000 due to improved spark spread, and landscaping and other service revenues rose by $84,000.

Previous report

•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses were $3,536,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1,546,000, or 78%, from $1,990,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the recognition of $1,778,000 cost of land sales incurred to satisfy the performance obligation associated with a land sale transaction executed in 2022. Additionally, this segment experienced a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $366,000, partially offset by additional depreciation expense of $127,000 due to the Terra Vista assets being placed in service during the second quarter.

Previous report

Resort/residential real estate development segment expenses were $304,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $123,000 from $427,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. This decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $104,000 of payroll-related expense. The current period expenses consisted of general and administrative expenses of $278,000, professional services of $15,000 and other expenses of $11,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025. The prior period expenses consisted of general and administrative expenses of $394,000, professional services of $22,000, and other expenses of $11,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024.

Previous report

•Mineral resources segment revenues were $1,510,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, representing a decrease of $522,000, or 26%, compared to $2,032,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily driven by a $297,000 decrease in water sales revenue, due to back-to-back above average rainfall years in California, which severely limited water sales opportunities. As rainfall levels increased, the demand for supplemental water diminished further, significantly reducing the number of viable sales opportunities, as consecutive wet years led to greater water accumulation and storage among users. Additionally, cement royalties decreased by $125,000 mainly attributable to lower production volumes during the quarter. Cement production in California declined in the first half of 2025 due to continued weakness in construction demand, high interest rates, and reduced infrastructure spending, consistent with broader national trends. Production levels are expected to recover in the second half of 2025 as interest rates are expected to ease and construction activity is expected to improve, although actual results may differ materially due to market or policy changes.

Previous report

•Mineral resources segment expenses were $790,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, a decrease of $325,000, or 29%, from $1,115,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The decrease was primarily associated with a decrease in water cost of sales of $279,000.

Previous report

•Mineral resources segment revenues were $4,105,000 for the first six months of 2025, a decrease of $416,000, or 9%, from $4,521,000 for the first six months of 2024. The reduction in revenues was primarily attributable to a decline in water sales revenue of $192,000, due to back-to-back above average rainfall years in California. As rainfall levels increased, the demand for supplemental water diminished further, significantly reducing the number of viable sales opportunities, as consecutive wet years led to greater water accumulation and storage among users. Additionally, cement royalties decreased by$212,000 driven by lower production volumes during the year-to-date period. Cement production in California declined in the first half of 2025 due to the continued weakness in construction demand, high interest rates, and reduced infrastructure spending, consistent with broader national trends. Production levels are expected to recover in the second half of 2025 as interest rates are expected to ease and construction activity is expected to improve, although actual results may differ materially due to market or policy changes.

Previous report

•Mineral resources segment expenses were $2,875,000 for the first six months of 2025, a decrease of $356,000, or 11%, when compared to the same period in 2024. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in water cost of sales recognized of $232,000, and a decrease in general and administrative expenses of $124,000 mostly related to a reduction in professional service fees.

Previous report

•Farming segment revenues totaled $607,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $465,000, or 327%, compared to $142,000 for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributed to $425,000 in revenue from the sale of almond carryover crop during the current period. Approximately 156,000 pounds of almonds were sold during the three months ended June 30, 2025, whereas no almond sales occurred in the comparable period in 2024.

Previous report

•Farming segment expenses were $1,497,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $410,000, or 38%, from $1,087,000 during the same period in 2024. This increase was primarily due to an increase of $407,000 in almond cost of sales recognized in the period associated with higher crop sales volume. Additionally, water holding costs decreased by $125,000, partially offset by an increase in other expenses of $128,000 mostly due to increases in depreciation expense and utility costs.

Previous report

•Farming segment expenses were $4,045,000 for the first six months of 2025, an increase of $891,000, or 28%, from $3,154,000 compared to the same period in 2024. Increases in the current period expenses were primarily due to the higher almond carryover crop cost of sales over the comparative period associated with higher crop sales volume. Other expenses increased by $273,000 mostly related to additional depreciation, utility costs and professional services expenses.

Previous report

The USDA's Objective Forecast for the 2025 California almond crop dated July 10, 2025, projects total production of 3.0 billion pounds, representing a 7% increase from the USDA's Subjective Forecast dated May 12, 2025, and a 10% increase compared to the 2024 crop of 2.73 billion pounds. We believe this projected increase in supply may place downward pressure on almond pricing during the 2025 crop year. While certain regions of California reported pollination challenges due to significant honeybee colony losses and resulting hive shortages, these issues did not materially impact the Company's pollination activities during the critical pollination period. However, adverse effects on yields in other growing regions could influence overall market dynamics. In addition, recently announced U.S. trade measures have raised the risk of retaliatory tariffs by major export partners, including the European Union, India, and China, which may negatively affect export demand and contribute to further pricing pressure.

•Ranch operations expenses were $1,335,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $74,000, or 6%, from $1,261,000 for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to higher operating expenses of $122,000, mostly related to higher repairs and maintenance costs of $77,000.

Previous report

Corporate general and administrative costs were $4,900,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2025, an increase of $1,543,000, from $3,357,000 for the same period in 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the additional professional fees and consulting expenses incurred during the period of $2,316,000 to defend the Company and its long-term strategy from a dissident proxy campaign that required significant engagement with shareholders and external advisors. The main components of the 2025 corporate expenses included compensation expenses of $1,939,000 and other expenses of $2,961,000. Other expenses include proxy defense related costs, professional services fees, licenses and fees, and depreciation expenses.

Previous report

During the first six months of 2024, our opera tions used $1,026,000. Our operating assets were increased by using $1,104,000 of cash, and our current liabilities were reduced by using $452,000 of cash. Partially offsetting the above-mentioned cash usages was cash distribution from unconsolidated joint ventures of $674,000.

Previous wording

For the three months ended June 30, 2025, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,712,000 compared to a net income attributable to common stockholders of $957,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The primary driver of this $2,669,000 increase in net loss was the additional professional fees and consulting expenses incurred of $2,316,000 during the contested board election and proxy defense.

Current wording

For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we had a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,506,000 compared to a net loss attributable to common stockholders of $1,793,000 for the same period in 2024. The $287,000 improvement in net loss was primarily driven by the recognition of $595,000 of additional gross margin following the fulfillment of the performance obligation associated with Nestlé land sale that occurred in 2022. Net increases in our agricultural operations also contributed to this improvement, with almond and wine grape revenues increasing by $1,169,000 and $1,147,000, respectively. Additionally, expenses in the Real Estate – Resort/Residential segment decreased by $1,308,000, which was primarily attributable to additional expenses of $1,250,000 in 2024 related to professional service fees and planning costs related to capital efforts tied to the Company's master planned communities. These positive effects were partially offset by decreased revenues from the mineral resources segment totaling $410,000, as well as $3,399,000 of additional expenses related to contested board election and proxy defense efforts during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.

The actual timing and completion of development is difficult to predict, due to the uncertainties of the market. Infrastructure development and marketing activities and costs could continue to increase over several years, as we develop our land holdings. We will also continue to evaluate land resources to determine the highest and best uses for our land holdings. Future land sales are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities. Our goal in the future is to increase land value and create future revenue growth through planning and development of commercial and industrial properties. Industrial land prices have increased at TRCC since 2000 from $0.57 per square foot to $9.00 per square foot which is a 1,479% increase, demonstrating the consistent increase in demand and maturation of TRCC. Industrial rents have increased 236% over the past eight-year period starting at $0.25 per square foot in 2017.

Previous wording

Our almond, pistachio, and wine grape crop sales are subject to significant seasonality, with the majority of sales typically occurring during the third and fourth quarters of the year. Almonds and pistachios are generally sold at prevailing market prices, while wine grapes are sold under contracted pricing arrangements with wineries. It is too early in the production cycle for 2025 to have a subjective estimate of potential production for almonds, grapes, and pistachios. In 2025, the Company's crop segmentation in its farming division will include the planting of an olive orchard, diversifying the Company's commodity products and best positioning the Company for market changes.

Previous wording

Weather conditions can significantly affect the number of chill hours and chill portions accumulated during dormancy, both of which are critical to tree and vine development. In early 2025, California experienced an unusually warm winter, resulting in insufficient chill accumulation across major agricultural regions. Pistachio orchards were particularly impacted, and this deficiency may contribute to reduced yields. Additionally, late winter and early spring rainstorms disrupted standard field operations, including the timely application of pesticides and dormancy-breaking treatments. These weather-related delays may affect crop management schedules and overall productivity; however, the extent of the impact on 2025 production levels will not be fully known until the summer growing season progresses.

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, a non-GAAP financial measure, and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance. We use Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of our core operations, for financial and operational decision making, and as a supplemental or additional means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA, excluding stock compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors relevant and useful information because it permits investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis, before the effects of taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock compensation expense. By excluding interest expense and income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow investors to measure our performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allow for a more meaningful comparison of our performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries. We believe that excluding charges related to share-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other companies without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use. In addition, the Company excludes other items impacting comparability to provide a clearer understanding of its core operating performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as measures of our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and widely used measures of performance, they do not represent net (loss) income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. Further, our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.
