Record Q1 Revenue and Profitability
Q1 revenue of just over $9.0M and gross profit of about $6.2M; company reported continued streak of profitable quarters and significant increases in net income and EPS. Management stated Q1 represented ~1/3 of the fiscal year forecast and ~37% of full-year guidance, indicating a strong start to FY2026.
Land Development Acceleration (Phase 2D & 2E)
Phase 2D: ~80% of roads complete and 5–6 months ahead of schedule due to favorable weather; 2 new national homebuilders added to the portfolio; Phase 2B ~85% built out; Phase 2E planned at ~159 lots with grading to start in March, supporting continued lot delivery and monetization.
Recurring Water Revenue Growth
Recurring water customer base growing at a 22% CAGR, strengthening recurring revenue profile and demonstrating continued customer growth for metered water/wastewater services.
Single-Family Rental Expansion
Single-family rental segment: 19 homes completed and fully leased; ~40 additional units under contract with phased delivery planned (~4–5 units/month starting in May) to drive recurring rental revenue and asset appreciation.
Substantial Water Capacity and Low Utilization
System capacity cited at ~2,800 acre-feet annual production capacity while only ~150 acre-feet were used in the quarter (company noted using only ~3% of overall water portfolio), indicating significant unused capacity to support future industrial or residential demand.
Strengthening Asset Values and Tap Fee Trends
Tap fees increased roughly 6%–7% annually over prior years to around $42,000 per connection; historical water purchase price cited at ~$9,700/acre-foot vs. recent transactions north of $20,000/acre-foot, indicating material appreciation in water-related assets.
Balance Sheet, Capital Allocation and Shareholder Actions
Management emphasized a strong balance sheet, ongoing reinvestment into all three segments (land, water, rentals) and continuation of a share buyback program while protecting liquidity for development.
Permitting Progress and Interchange Expansion
Expanded/amended interchange access permit with CDOT; management expects permit submittal in spring, bid later in year, construction in 2027 and completion by early 2028—critical to unlock commercial parcels and Phase 3 value (public improvement receivable ~ $50M).
High-Margin Industrial Water Opportunity (Oil & Gas)
Oil & gas water deliveries are high-margin and management expects activity to ramp as fracking begins later in the year; management cited pads with ~10–20 wells and indicated visibility of 20–35 wells on certain pads, which could materially boost industrial water revenue.
