Pure Cycle (PCYO) investor relations material

Strategic development and growth outlook

• Focus remains on long-term planning, with activities geared toward meeting demand 18–36 months ahead, rather than current market conditions.

• Residential development at Sky Ranch continues, with 1,000 homes occupied and up to 1,500 homes sold or under contract, targeting 250–350 units delivered annually over the next seven years.

• Commercial development is expected to layer on top of residential, with the I-70 interchange as a catalyst; first commercial cash inflows are anticipated by 2029, possibly as early as late 2027.

• The company is leveraging its unique position in Arapahoe County, offering innovative, affordable housing products due to favorable setback requirements and flexible lot development.

• Oil and gas activity remains robust in the service area, providing significant cash flow and supporting infrastructure investment.

Financial guidance and capital allocation

• Annual revenue from residential lot sales is projected at $20–$30 million, with commercial absorption expected to be additive as it comes online.

• The company targets a return on investment in the mid to high teens for its single-family rental (SFR) segment, with a minimum threshold above its 9% return on equity.

• Plans to become more aggressive with share buybacks in the next 12–18 months, with dividends considered as a future component of capital return.

• Conservative approach to land acquisitions, preferring assets that can be developed immediately rather than holding for long periods.

• The company benchmarks value creation using a sum-of-the-parts approach, focusing on predictable revenue streams from land, water, and utility assets rather than book value.

Market positioning and risk management

• Sky Ranch homes are competitively priced due to smaller lot sizes and innovative product offerings, attracting both homebuyers and builders.

• The majority of Sky Ranch homes are owner-occupied, with a minority rented by individuals or the company, and strong demand from military and airport staff due to location.

• Regulatory processes for future development, especially at Lowry, are well understood, though complicated by state ownership and multi-use considerations.

• Water assets are highly valuable but illiquid due to regulatory constraints; value is realized through utility operations rather than asset sales.

• The company maintains flexibility in lot delivery and builder relationships, adjusting to market cycles and builder demand to avoid overextension.
