“Our unseasonably mild winter set the stage for a productive third quarter, allowing us to advance Phase 2D toward substantial completion and to begin development of our next 159 lots in Phase 2E. Delivering finished lots to our homebuilder partners ahead of schedule has enabled them to open new model homes and advance their spring and summer selling season at Sky Ranch. We also look forward to opening our new charter high school this fall in partnership with National Heritage Academy, completing a full, walkable K-12 campus that further distinguishes Sky Ranch as one of the most affordable master planned communities in the Denver metropolitan area," commented Mark Harding, CEO of Pure Cycle. "While the housing market continues to experience headwinds from affordability challenges and soft consumer confidence, we continue to pace our lot deliveries to our homebuilder customers in annual, just-in-time increments, which minimizes inventory carry and continues to keep our builders’ costs down for our entry-level product to market, reinforcing the strength of our business model. In our single-family rental segment, demand remains strong, with 95% of our units leased prior to completion; we continue to manage the pace of new completions given ongoing uncertainty regarding the federal government's plans to regulate institutional ownership of rental homes and are selling a portion of our reserved lots in Phases 2C and 2D to our homebuilder customers," continued Mr. Harding. "A highlight of the quarter was a significant increase in water sales to our oil and gas customers, validating the investments we continue to make in our water rights and delivery systems to capture growing industrial water demand. Strong stewardship of our liquidity and balance sheet continues to allow us to capitalize on these opportunities while reinvesting in our remaining land development phases, our planned I-70 interchange, and the valuable commercial opportunities at Sky Ranch," commented Mr. Harding.
