Bullish Statements during Earnings call

Statement
So again a great quarter
It provides accelerated positive cash flows to each unit
And so we have attractive margins with the well-balanced land plan between the residential and commercial
So, tremendous success on that rolling into the second phase
I will say we do a better job, but at the end of the day, we do deliver a very good product to our homebuilders, and our homebuilders carry forward our price advantage into their finished products
So very good relationship for both them and us
So it provides us some very attractive returns on a cash flow standpoint
We've maintained a pretty good cash run rate
Second surprise is that apparently, the Denver market is a lot stronger, particularly for first-time owners than I had thought
We're thrilled that all these - each segment is continuing to grow, continuing to demonstrate terrific margins, capitalizing on the legacy value of the assets and we look forward to continuing to deliver results
Excellent organic growth both at Sky Ranch and Wild Pointe with tremendous demand potential out of the Lowry Ranch
Had a kind of a record quarter for oil and gas deliveries
We acquired this land during The Great Recession in about 2010 very favorable basis in the land
It shows much better than in-person than it does on the slide deck
And so it was a great opportunity for both of us
We have very attractive margins
Both of these assets and both of these development opportunities are excellently positioned within the metropolitan area
Continue to add customers through Sky Ranch, had a great year, especially the last quarter for water sales to oil and gas operators, almost 263 million gallons of water
But we're seeing very strong demand in here and we like this segment a lot
So it's a very attractive segment for us
So we're pretty happy with - 2021 through 2023 are showing pretty consistent results, which is really indicative of the Sky Ranch community continuing to grow at a typical standard pace, what we feel pretty sustainable pace
So we're delighted for our price segmentation in that entry level
And then we have great commercial opportunity, given the proximity that we have to the interchange and to an interchange on the interstate
Our interest income was pretty good
One of the advantages, and I think we highlight that in our investment thing, but we've had these water rights for a very long time, and they've appreciated significantly in the value
We're excited that the school is opening and it's a great regional asset that's really going to be a center pivot point for us in the community
We have great transportation access
But there's tremendous amount of growth potential yet in this segment as well
We continue to have organic growth within our service areas
And then we are also seeing tremendous opportunity rolling into the second phase, to the next 211 lots
       

Bearish Statements during earnings call

Statement
But if you look at the national statistics, you have kind of weakening traffic mostly because of those interest rate and the mortgage locked buyers out there
And so that tap fee - that tap fee from a market-based reaction of the availability of water resources, and we've seen a big pressure on those staff fees
What became an opportunity for both them and us was particularly when interest rates were rising fast, and we moved into the winter months and everybody got all dark and cold and concerned about what the market was or wasn't going to do
The other key driver in the market conditions are probably the declining sale of some of the existing homes and those will be mortgage locked product where you've got a lot of mortgages that are at that very low mortgage rate
It hasn't taken off, it hasn't dropped despite the market challenges through the year
So a lot of demand in that in what was otherwise a soft or a slowing housing market
If you look at those, you can see a pretty sharp decline this year for the three months ended May 31
Some of the headwinds in the market, things have started to normalize
It was a pretty tough winter
That's more than anomaly
We're certainly not seeing that
When you look at the period over period, last year was a little bit slow, the May 31, 2022, the three months ended there
The move-up buyer is probably a little bit more cautious on the decision making just because they have a very low basis in their interest rate
In an earlier call, you speculated that Pure Cycle might take back some lots from builders
Not because we had any tremendous layoffs or anything like that
So we have kind of a triple threat in each of the single-family units that we're building
And then we got even more aggressive
