Key Financial Metrics (Six Months Ended June 30, 2025)
- Revenue: $20.6 million (down 66.3% from $61.1 million in the prior year period), driven primarily by a decrease in management services revenue.

- Operating Cash Flow: Net cash used in operating activities was $14.9 million, an improvement from $49.7 million used in the prior year period.
Material Changes vs. Prior Period

- Profitability Increase: Despite lower revenues, net income attributable to the Company increased by 56% year-over-year, driven by a substantial increase in equity in earnings from the Great Park Venture ($88.6 million vs. $33.1 million).
- SG&A Expenses: Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased by 20.9% to $30.4 million, largely due to costs associated with the proposed acquisition of the Hearthstone Venture.
- Land Sales: The Great Park Venture recognized $357.6 million in land sales revenue (at the venture level) for the six months ended June 30, 2025, compared to $232.1 million in the prior year.
Outlook, Risks, and Unusual Items
- Acquisition: In June 2025, the Company entered a definitive agreement to acquire a 75% controlling interest in the Hearthstone Venture for $56.25 million (cash and up to $3.0 million in stock), expected to close in Q3 2025.
- Market Conditions: Management noted softening demand in the new home market due to affordability challenges, though demand remains in their undersupplied California markets.
- San Francisco Delays: Development at The San Francisco Shipyard faces potential delays due to ongoing U.S. Navy environmental retesting and litigation regarding alleged contamination misrepresentation by contractors.
- Tax Receivable Agreement (TRA): A liability of $173.8 million exists for future TRA payments. No payments were made in the period, but California state tax changes may trigger payments between 2026 and 2028.
- Guidance: The filing does not provide specific numerical guidance for the full year but states expectations to meet cash requirements for the next 12 months through existing liquidity and distributions.

- Monitor the status of the U.S. Navy FOST process and environmental litigation at The San Francisco Shipyard for potential development delays.
- Review the Great Park Venture land sales pipeline (572 homesites under contract) to assess future revenue recognition.
- Assess the impact of the Tax Receivable Agreement on future cash flows, particularly regarding California state tax legislation.
