Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended December 31, 2020

Revenues. Revenues of $111.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020 primarily consisted of $105.5 million in revenue recognized from land sales at our Valencia segment.

Equity in loss from unconsolidated entities. Equity in loss from unconsolidated entities was $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020, comprised of a $1.3 million loss from our 37.5% percentage interest in the Great Park Venture, loss of $0.2 million from our 75% interest in the Gateway Commercial Venture and $1.6 million loss from our 10% interest in the Valencia Landbank Venture as a result of intra-entity profit elimination due to the Valencia Landbank Venture purchasing homesites at Valencia.

Selling, general, and administrative. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $24.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Net income. Consolidated net income for the quarter was $3.7 million. Income before income tax provision was $5.4 million with income attributable to noncontrolling interests totaling $2.9 million. Net income attributable to the Company was $0.8 million after recognition of an income tax provision of $1.7 million. Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the portion of income allocated to related party partners and members that hold units of the operating company and the San Francisco Venture. Holders of units of the operating company and the San Francisco Venture can redeem their interests for our Class A common shares on a one-for-one basis or, at our election, cash. In connection with any redemption or exchange, our ownership of our operating subsidiaries will increase and reduce the amount of income allocated to noncontrolling interests.

Segment Results

Valencia Segment (formerly Newhall). Total segment revenues were $106.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2020. Revenues were mainly attributable to the sale of land entitled for 442 homesites on approximately 45 acres in Valencia. Initial gross proceeds from the sale were $102.2 million, representing the base purchase price. Cost of land sales was $73.9 million, or 70.0% of total land sales and land sales-related party revenues for the fourth quarter. In the fourth quarter, 210 of the homesites sold were purchased by the Valencia Landbank Venture, in which we own a 10% equity interest. Revenues associated with these closings are reported as land sales-related party. When we sell land to the Valencia Landbank Venture, we eliminate our pro-rata share of the intra-entity profits generated from the sale through earnings (loss) from unconsolidated entities until the land is sold by the Valencia Landbank Venture to third party homebuilders. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

San Francisco Segment. Selling, general, and administrative expenses were $3.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Great Park Segment. The Great Park segment’s net income for the quarter was $0.4 million, which included net income of $1.6 million from management services and a net loss of $1.2 million attributed to the Great Park Venture. We do not include the Great Park Venture as a consolidated subsidiary in our consolidated financial statements but rather account for it as an equity method investee. After adjusting to account for a difference in investment basis, the Company’s equity in loss from the Great Park Venture was $1.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

Commercial Segment. Segment net loss was approximately $0.1 million, which included net income of $0.1 million from management services and a net loss of $0.2 million attributed to the Gateway Commercial Venture. We do not include the Gateway Commercial Venture as a consolidated subsidiary in our consolidated financial statements but rather account for it as an equity method investee. Our share of equity in loss from the Gateway Commercial Venture totaled $0.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020, no amounts were drawn on the Company’s $125.0 million revolving credit facility; however, letters of credit of approximately $0.3 million were issued and outstanding under the revolving credit facility, thus reducing the available capacity by the outstanding letters of credit amount.

(1)		For purposes of this calculation, debt is the amount due on the Company’s notes payable before offsetting for capitalized deferred financing costs.
(2)		Net debt to total capitalization is a non-GAAP financial measure defined as net debt (debt less cash and cash equivalents) divided by total net capitalization (net debt plus total capital). The Company believes the ratio of net debt to total capitalization is a relevant and a useful financial measure to investors in understanding the leverage employed in the Company’s operations. However, because net debt to total capitalization is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, this financial measure should not be considered in isolation or as an alternative to financial measures prescribed by GAAP. Rather, this non-GAAP financial measure should be used to supplement the Company's GAAP results.
