PURE CYCLE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
November 30, 2025
NOTE 1 – PRESENTATION OF INTERIM INFORMATION
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Pure Cycle Corporation (the “Company” or “Pure Cycle”) and include all adjustments that are of a normal recurring nature and are in the opinion of management, necessary to present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of and for the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024. The August 31, 2025 balance sheet was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025 (“2025 Annual Report”) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 12, 2025. The results of operations for interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full fiscal year.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used to account for certain items such as revenue recognition, the dollar amount of reimbursable costs and collectability of reimbursable costs, costs of revenue for lot sales, share-based compensation, certain accrued liabilities, and the useful lives and recoverability of long-lived assets. Actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2023-07, “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-7”). Upon adoption of this ASU, the Company has disclosed significant segment expenses, the title and position of the Chief Operating Decision Maker (“CODM”), and an explanation of how the reported measure of segment profit or loss is used by the CODM to assess segment performance and make resource allocation decisions. Effective August 31, 2025, the Company adopted the provisions of this ASU on a retrospective basis. See Note 11.
In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"), which requires expanded disclosure of the Company’s income rate reconciliation and income taxes paid. ASU 2023-09 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning September 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2023-09 will have on its consolidated financial statement disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, “Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses” ("ASU 2024-03"), which requires disaggregated disclosure of certain costs and expenses on an interim and annual basis in the notes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for the Company for annual periods beginning September 1, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures.
Management has evaluated other recently issued accounting pronouncements and does not believe that any of these pronouncements will have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
8
Changes Affecting Comparability
For the year ended August 31, 2025, the Company made changes to certain categories within its financial statements. These changes were made as part of the Company’s adoption of ASU 2023-07. The changes (i) provide additional details about the Company’s operations by reporting segment and enable the readers of its financial statements to more easily trace the performance of its segments from the financial statements through to the notes and (ii) align its presentation with industry peers.
The Company made changes in the presentation of “Revenues” and “Cost of revenues” categories within the Consolidated Statements of Income. As a result, changes within the Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended November 30, 2024 were made to conform to the current period presentation. The changes had no impact on gross margins or net income.
Changes to the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three months ended November 30, 2024 were made to align with new categories on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The Company recognizes lot sales over time as construction activities progress and not necessarily when payment is received. For example, the Company may receive milestone payments before revenue can be recognized (i.e., prior to the Company completing cumulative progress which faithfully represents the transfer of goods and services to the customer), which results in the Company recording deferred revenue. The Company recognizes this revenue into income as construction activities progress, measured based on costs incurred compared to total estimated costs of the project, which management believes is a faithful representation of the transfer of goods and services to the customer.
Revenue allocated to remaining performance obligations such as described above represents contracted revenue that has not yet been recognized, which includes unearned revenue and amounts that will be recognized as revenue in future periods.

NOTE 4 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).
The carrying value for certain of the Company’s financial instruments (i.e., cash, restricted cash, short term investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities, the SFR Notes and the Lost Creek Note (each as defined in Note 6 below)) approximate their fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.
As of November 30, 2025 and August 31, 2025, the Company had
There were no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 categories during the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024.

NOTE 11 – SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company reports
The water and wastewater resource development segment includes providing water and wastewater services to customers. The Company delivers these services by using water rights owned or controlled by the Company and developing, operating, and maintaining infrastructure to divert, treat and distribute that water and collect, treat and reuse reclaimed wastewater. The land development segment includes all activities necessary to develop and sell finished lots, which for the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024 was done exclusively at the Company’s Sky Ranch Master Planned Community. The single-family rental business includes the monthly rental fees received from the renters under non-cancelable annual leases.

In Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (“MD&A”), “we,” “us,” “our” and "Pure Cycle" refer to Pure Cycle Corporation and all entities owned or controlled by Pure Cycle Corporation. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, related MD&A and discussion of our business included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 2025 (the “2025 Annual Report”) filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results, and future results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements (refer to “Disclosure Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” in this Form 10-Q and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2025 Annual Report for further discussion).
We are a diversified water and wastewater service provider, land developer, and home rental company. We provide wholesale water and wastewater services in the Denver, Colorado area, develop land we own into master planned communities, and develop single-family homes for rent. Each of our businesses, providing water and wastewater services, land development and single-family home rentals generate attractive recurring monthly income.
Recent Developments and Economic Conditions
The housing market stabilized in 2024 as the Federal Reserve shifted from aggressively increasing interest rates in 2023 to a balanced approach that maintained relatively consistent interest rates through the first half of 2025. In the second half of 2025, the Federal Reserve pivoted from primarily combating inflation to supporting labor market stability and economic activity, implementing a series of interest rate reductions that continued through December 2025. While these actions have begun to moderate mortgage interest rates, the housing market continues to face headwinds. Consumer demand remains constrained by cumulative affordability challenges and heightened economic uncertainty. Furthermore, volatility in the broader macroeconomic environment—driven in part by federal trade policies affecting the cost of imported construction materials and fluctuating consumer confidence—continues to impact builder sentiment and the pace of new home sales.
Although higher mortgage interest rates and volatile macroeconomic and geopolitical conditions may persist for some time, homebuilders' strategic use of interest rate buydowns as incentives has played a crucial role in driving sales. Despite current interest rates and recent market uncertainty stemming from actual and anticipated U.S. governmental policy changes, we maintain a positive long-term outlook on land development and the housing market based on fundamental factors remaining positive. These include favorable demographics, the lot and housing supply-demand imbalance resulting from a decade-plus of underproduction of new homes in relation to population growth, and low resale home inventory. While we remain confident in the long-term growth prospects for the industry given these factors, the current demand for new homes is subject to continued uncertainty due to many factors. The combination of higher mortgage interest rates since early 2022, several years of rising housing prices, elevated inflation, and various other macroeconomic and geopolitical concerns have been moderating housing demand. Although interest rates may decline, we expect moderate to lower demand to continue throughout 2026. Given current conditions, we continue to monitor market dynamics and surrounding community performance and will adjust the timing of additional construction expenditures at Sky Ranch as warranted. We believe our segment pricing (entry level) lots and the low inventory of entry level housing in the Denver market will help Sky Ranch navigate a cyclical market better than other surrounding and significantly higher priced communities.
Our future performance and the strategies we implement (and adjust or refine as necessary or appropriate) will depend significantly on the prevailing economic environment, the homebuilding industry, capital, credit and financial market conditions and political and regulatory factors (particularly regarding housing and mortgage loan financing policies and trade policies impacting the cost of construction and building materials). The continuing impact of Federal Reserve actions to moderate persistent U.S. inflation and the uncertainty regarding future Federal Reserve monetary policy are expected to be ongoing headwinds for the housing market in 2026. Prolonged supply chain disruptions, labor shortages, increased costs as a result of tariffs or other factors and other production-related challenges could extend or delay our construction cycle times and intensify construction-related cost pressures beyond those we experienced in 2025. In addition, consumer demand for our homes and our ability to grow and scale revenue and returns in fiscal 2026 could be materially and negatively affected by the above-described monetary policy impacts or other factors that curtail mortgage loan availability, employment or income growth or consumer confidence in the U.S. and in the Colorado markets.

Our Business Strategy
For more than 30 years, we have accumulated and continue to accumulate a portfolio of valuable water rights, land interests and single-family rental homes along the Front Range of Colorado. We have added an extensive network of wholesale water production, storage, treatment and distribution systems and wastewater collection and treatment systems that we operate and maintain to serve domestic, commercial, and industrial customers in the eastern Denver metropolitan region. Our primary land asset, known as Sky Ranch, is in one of the most active Master Planned Communities in the Denver metropolitan region along the rapidly developing I-70 corridor, where we are developing lots for residential, commercial, retail, and light industrial uses. Sky Ranch is zoned to include up to 3,200 single-family and multifamily homes, parks, open spaces, trails, recreational centers, schools, and over two million square feet of retail, commercial and light industrial space, all of which will be serviced by our water and wastewater services segment. Additionally, we have retained lots in our Sky Ranch development for our single-family rental business where we contract with national home builders to build single-family homes we rent, typically under annual lease agreements. With 19 homes currently owned, we continue to expand this new line of business, which may include more than 200 rental homes at Sky Ranch over the next several years.
Although we report our results of operations through our water and wastewater resource development segment, our land development segment, and our single-family rental segment, we operate these segments as a cohesive business designed to provide a cost effective, sustainable, and value-added business enterprise.
Water and Wastewater
Water resources throughout the western U.S., and particularly in Colorado, are a scarce and valuable resource. Our owned and/or controlled portfolio of more than 30,000 acre-feet of water is comprised of groundwater, designated basin groundwater, and surface water supplies. Our other significant water assets include 26,000 acre-feet of adjudicated reservoir sites, two wastewater reclamation facilities, water treatment facilities, potable and raw water storage facilities, wells and water production facilities, and roughly 50 miles of water distribution and wastewater collection lines. Our water supplies and wholesale facilities are primarily located in southeast Denver, an area which is limited in both water availability and infrastructure to produce, treat, store, and distribute water and wastewater. We believe this provides us with a unique competitive advantage in offering these services.
We provide wholesale water and wastewater service to local governments for both residential and commercial customers. The local governments we serve include the Rangeview Metropolitan District (“Rangeview District”), Arapahoe County, the Sky Ranch Community Authority Board and related metropolitan districts (“Sky Ranch CAB”), and the Elbert and Highway 86 Commercial Metropolitan District (“Elbert 86 District”). Our mission is to provide sustainable, reliable, high-quality water to our customers and collect, treat, and reuse wastewater using advanced water treatment systems, which produce high quality reclaimed water we can reuse for outdoor irrigation and industrial demands. By using and reusing our water supplies, we proactively manage our valuable water rights in the water-scarce Denver, Colorado region, which dramatically reduces the environmental impact of our water resource operations. We design, permit, construct, operate and maintain wholesale water and wastewater systems that we own or operate on behalf of governmental entities. We also design, permit, construct, operate, and maintain retail distribution and collection systems that we own or exclusively operate on behalf of our governmental customers. Additionally, we handle administrative functions, including meter reading, billing and collection of monthly water and wastewater revenues, regulatory water quality monitoring, sampling, testing, and reporting requirements to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment.
Revenues for our water operations are dependent on us growing the number of customers we serve. If we are unable to add customers to our systems and sell taps to builders, our revenues could be negatively impacted. We currently are the developer of the Sky Ranch Master Planned Community, which is the main driver of our tap sales. Prolonged periods of hot and dry weather generally cause increased water usage for watering lawns, washing cars, and keeping parks irrigated. Conversely, prolonged periods of dry weather could lead to drought restrictions and limited water availability. Despite our substantial water supply, customers may be required to conserve water usage under such drought restrictions, which would negatively impact metered usage revenues. We have addressed some of this vulnerability by instituting minimum customer charges, which are intended to cover fixed costs of operations under all likely weather conditions.
22
Land Development
Our Land Development segment is primarily focused on developing the Sky Ranch Master Planned Community located along the booming I-70 corridor. We develop and sell residential, commercial, retail, and light industrial lots. Sky Ranch is zoned to include up to 3,200 single-family and multifamily homes, parks, open spaces, trails, recreational centers, and schools. Additionally, Sky Ranch is zoned to include over two million square feet of retail, commercial, and light industrial space, which is the equivalent of approximately 1,800 residential units, meaning the Sky Ranch community at build-out will include a total of roughly 5,000 residential and equivalent units. Our land development activities include the design, permitting, and construction of all the horizontal infrastructure, including storm water, drainage, roads, curbs, sidewalks, parks, open space, trails, and other infrastructure to deliver “ready to build” finished lots to home builders and commercial customers. Our land development activities generate revenue from the sale of finished lots as well as construction revenues from activities where we construct infrastructure on behalf of others. Land development revenues come from our home builder customers under specific agreements for the delivery of finished lots. Additionally, pursuant to certain agreements with the Sky Ranch CAB and its related metropolitan districts, on their behalf we construct public infrastructure such as roads, curbs, storm water, drainage, sidewalks, parks, open space, trails, and other amenities, the costs of which are reimbursed to us by the Sky Ranch CAB through funds generated from property taxes, fees or the issuance of municipal bonds.
Our land development activities provide a strategic complement to our water and wastewater activities because a significant component of any master planned community is providing high quality domestic water, irrigation water, and wastewater services to the community. Having control over the land and the water and wastewater services enables us to build infrastructure for potable water and irrigation distribution, wastewater and storm water collection, roads, parks, open spaces, and other investments efficiently and to manage delivery of these investments to match take-down commitments from our home builder customers without significant excess capacity in any of these investments.
We have been developing the Sky Ranch community in phases since 2017. We believe it will take approximately eight to ten more years to fully develop Sky Ranch. In 2017, we began the initial development phase of Sky Ranch when we entered separate contracts with several national home builders, pursuant to which we sold a total of 505 single-family, detached residential lots at Sky Ranch. Pursuant to these agreements, we were obligated to construct infrastructure and other public improvements as well as wholesale infrastructure improvements (i.e., a wastewater reclamation facility and wholesale water facilities). Since starting, multiple phases of the Sky Ranch development are complete and revenue and costs have been recognized.
During our fiscal 2021, we began construction on the second development phase at Sky Ranch. For this phase, we entered separate contracts with several national home builders to sell the first 872 single-family attached and detached residential lots in Phase 2 of Sky Ranch, and we retained approximately 91 lots (through such contracts and subsequent amendments) for use in our single-family home rental business. The second development phase is approximately 250 acres and is being completed in five sub-phases (referred to as Phase 2A, 2B, 2C, 2D and 2E). Due to our strong performance in the first phase of the Sky Ranch project, we were able to realize an approximate 53% increase in our average lot prices in Phase 2. For example, we increased our sales price for a 45’ foot lot from an average of $75,000 to $115,000. The timing of cash flows includes certain milestone deliveries such as the completion of governmental approvals for final plats, installation of wet utilities, and final completion of lot deliveries.
In February 2021, we began construction activities in Phase 2A at Sky Ranch, which has 229 residential lots, 10 of which we have retained for use in our single-family rental business. Contracts with three of the four home builders included milestone payments as construction progressed, with the fourth home builder contract making one payment due upon the transfer of title to the finished lots. As of November 30, 2025, Phase 2A of the Sky Ranch development is 100% complete, and we have received all $18.4 million of payments related to the sale of the 219 lots in Phase 2A.
In March 2023, we began construction activities in Phase 2B at Sky Ranch, which is platted for 211 residential lots, 17 of which we retained for use in our single-family rental business. Contracts with three of the four home builders in Phase 2B included milestone payments as construction progressed, with the fourth home builder making one payment due upon the transfer of title to the finished lots. As of November 30, 2025, Phase 2B of the Sky Ranch development is approximately 98% complete, and we have received all $17.3 million of payments related to the sale of the 211 lots in Phase 2B.
23
In February 2024, we began construction activities in Phase 2C at Sky Ranch, which is platted for 228 residential lots, 40 of which we have retained for use in our single-family rental business. Contracts with three of the four home builders in Phase 2C include milestone payments as construction progresses, with the fourth home builder having one payment due upon the transfer of title to the finished lots. As of November 30, 2025, Phase 2C of the Sky Ranch development is approximately 89% complete, and we have received all $17.3 million of payments related to the sale of the 228 lots in Phase 2C.
In December 2024, we began construction activities in Phase 2D at Sky Ranch, which is platted for 204 residential lots, 24 of which we have retained for use in our single-family rental business. We are contracted with two home builders in Phase 2D to include milestone payments as construction progresses. We are contracted with a third home builder having one payment due upon the transfer of title to the finished lots. As of November 30, 2025, Phase 2D of the Sky Ranch development is approximately 65% complete. As of November 30, 2025, we received $4.5 million, which represents the first and second milestone payments from the first builder and a partial first milestone payment for the second builder with a milestone payment contract. We expect all remaining milestone payments and finished lot payments for Phase 2D, which total $14.5 million, to be received over the next 12 months.
We recognize revenue earned under contracts with milestone payments over time using the percentage of completion method which aligns the recognition of revenue with the requisite progress made on construction activities. During the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, due to the construction progress in Phase 2B through 2D, we recognized $6.0 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of lot sales revenue related to construction at Sky Ranch. We have recognized a total of $18.4 million of lot sales revenue since construction began on Phase 2A, $16.9 million of lot sales revenue since construction began on Phase 2B, $15.3 million of lot sales revenue since construction began on Phase 2C and $6.0 million of lot sales revenue since construction began on Phase 2D as of November 30, 2025. We expect to recognize the remaining $2.0 million of revenue from all four home builders for Phase 2C over the next 6 months, and the remaining $13.0 million of revenue from our home builders for Phase 2D before the end of our fiscal 2026.
We expect to begin construction activities in Phase 2E in fiscal 2026, with the completion of approximately 159 lots in calendar 2026 but will plan to pace construction to match builder absorption.
In addition to the lot sales described above, from the start of development at Sky Ranch through November 30, 2025, we have received $33.8 million of water and wastewater tap fees from the home builders, which is for all 509 taps sold in Phase 1 (with four being allocated to our single-family rentals), all 229 taps sold in Phase 2A (with 10 being allocated to our single-family rentals), 195 of 211 taps sold in Phase 2B (with 17 allocated to our single-family rentals), 119 of 228 taps sold in Phase 2C (with 40 allocated to our single-family rentals) and 6 of 204 taps sold in Phase 2D. The timing of tap sales is dependent on when home builders request building permits. Fees charged per water tap are dependent on lot sizes and average water usage across a broad range of housing product types, including duplexes and townhomes. For Phase 2 in total, we estimate water and wastewater tap fees will exceed $19.0 million.
Single-Family Rentals
During our fiscal 2021, we launched a new line of business we are referring to as our single-family rental business. During Phase 1 of Sky Ranch, we retained ownership of four residential lots for use in this business. As of November 30, 2025, we have completed 19 single-family homes on these lots which we own, maintain, and have available to lease under one-year lease terms. We expect to expand our single-family rentals in our second development phase of Sky Ranch by building homes on lots we did not sell to our home builder partners, which we will rent out once completed. As of November 30, 2025, we reserved approximately 91 lots in Phase 2, 10 of which are in Phase 2A and are completed and rented as of November 30, 2025. Additionally, we have reserved 17 lots in Phase 2B, which we anticipate completing in fiscal 2026.
We capitalize the costs of the homes and when applicable depreciate the costs over periods not exceeding thirty-years. Lease income is recorded monthly as earned, and renters are typically under a one-year lease. We began recognizing monthly lease income for the first three rental units on November 1, 2021.

Results of Operations
Executive Summary
For the three months ended November 30, 2025 and 2024, we generated net income of $4.5 million and $3.9 million, respectively. The increase was primarily due to an increase in land development revenue. There was a decrease in water sales to oil and gas operators for drilling purposes in 2025, which was offset by an increase in water and wastewater tap fee revenue. Lot sales revenue is recognized using the percentage of completion method, which is based on progress of construction. Despite increased challenges in the housing market, our land development activities continue to perform well, as we continue construction on 2C and 2D at Sky Ranch.

Three Months Ended November 30, 2025 Results Compared to 2024
For the three months ended November 30, 2025, total revenue increased as compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to an increase in land development activity. When we transfer title to lots to home builders under contracts where we remain obligated to deliver finished lots, the sales of such lots are recognized using the percentage of completion method. The decrease in water sales was driven by a decline in oil and gas drilling activities within our service area in the 2025 period. This was offset by an increase in water and wastewater tap fee revenue. Tap fee revenue timing depends on the timing of builders filing for building permits, which has increased with the development of Phase 2C and 2D in 2026.
For the three months ended November 30, 2025, total costs of revenue increased as compared to the same period in 2024, due to increased revenue.
25
For the three months ended November 30, 2025, general and administrative expense increased slightly as compared to the same period in 2024 due to normal inflationary increases in operating expenses. The increase was offset by a reversal of a legal expense in 2025 in the amount of $0.5 million.
For the three months ended November 30, 2025, other income decreased as compared to the 2024 period primarily due to a decline in royalty revenues from our oil and gas mineral interest at Sky Ranch.
For the three months ended November 30, 2025, water deliveries decreased as compared to the 2024 period primarily due to a decrease in water sales to oil and gas operators.

For the three months ended November 30, 2025, municipal water usage was consistent with the 2024 period. Commercial water usage revenue decreased for the three months ended November 30, 2025 compared to the 2024 period due to decreased water sales to oil and gas operators.
For the three months ended November 30, 2025, wastewater treatment fees increased slightly as compared to the 2024 period primarily due to new Sky Ranch customers.
For the three months ended November 30, 2025, water and wastewater tap sales increased compared to the 2024 period due to the timing of finished lots at Sky Ranch in 2025. Tap sales are driven by builders obtaining building permits in anticipation of home closings.

For the three months ended November 30, 2025, lot sales revenue increased as compared to the 2024 period due primarily to the timing of platted lot deliveries. When we transfer title to lots to home builders under contracts where we remain obligated to deliver finished lots, the sales of such lots are recognized using the percentage of completion method. Therefore, revenue will fluctuate due to the number of lots under the percentage of completion accounting method throughout Phase 2 which increased in the 2025 period.
For the three months ended November 30, 2025, total costs of revenue increased as compared to the 2024 period, due to increased revenue recognition from our percentage of completion revenue recognition.
Single-Family Rental Results of Operations
In fiscal 2021, we began construction on homes for our single-family rental business. Each home is rented under a one-year non-cancellable lease agreement. The costs reflected as cost of sales for the rental units include a pro-rata share of the annual property taxes and insurance related specifically to the rental units as well as immaterial fees related to the operations and maintenance assessments from the Sky Ranch CAB that are assessed to every home in Sky Ranch. Our tenants are responsible for all other utilities, including water and wastewater services that are paid to us through the Rangeview District. For the three months ended November 30, 2025, rental revenue and cost increased as compared to the 2024 period due to an increase in the number of rental units. As of November 30, 2025, the Company had a total of 19 units rented or available for rent.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Position
As of November 30, 2025, our working capital, defined as current assets less current liabilities, was $14.7 million, which included $17.1 million in cash and cash equivalents. All our cash is maintained at high-credit quality institutions, and we follow a diversified investment approach for our cash and cash equivalents by maintaining such funds with a portfolio of banks in high quality, highly liquid, short-term deposits and investments to mitigate banking concentration risk. We believe that as of November 30, 2025, and as of the date of the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have sufficient working capital to fund our operations for the next 12 months. Our expected obligations for the next 12 months are described below.
Sky Ranch Development
Phase 1 of the Sky Ranch development is complete. Development of Phase 2, which began in February 2021, is being done in five subphases, of which Phase 2A and Phase 2B are substantially completed and Phase 2C and Phase 2D are being actively developed as of November 30, 2025. We expect to begin development work on Phase 2E in fiscal 2026. We estimate total costs to complete the infrastructure (including public improvements) for all 591 lots in the last three subphases of Phase 2 to total $21.1 million. Of this, we
27
anticipate spending up to $10.8 million in the next 12 months, and we anticipate receiving approximately $17.5 million in milestone and finished lot payments from our builder customers. Additionally, we expect to receive tap fee payments from our builder customers over the same period. The amounts we expect to spend and receive in the next 12 months are dependent on the pace of construction in Phase 2C, Phase 2D and Phase 2E. We believe water and wastewater tap fees as well as progress payments from our home builder customers and our existing cash balances will fund our obligations for the next 12 months.
Single-Family Rental Construction Contract
As of November 30, 2025, we have entered into contracts with national home builders to construct the remaining 12 rental units at Sky Ranch in Phase 2B and 28 of the 40 rental units at Sky Ranch in Phase 2C. The contracted construction costs for all 40 units in Phase 2B and 2C will be approximately $12.4 million. As of November 30, 2025, we had incurred $1.5 million of these construction costs. We anticipate financing the majority of the remaining cost for Phase 2B and 2C rental units in fiscal 2026.
South Metropolitan Water Supply Authority (“SMWSA”) and the Water Infrastructure Supply Efficiency Partnership (“WISE”)
We have entered into a financing agreement that obligates us to fund the Rangeview District’s cost of participating in WISE. We anticipate investing up to $2.0 million in total over the next 12 months to fund the Rangeview District’s obligation to purchase water and fund development of infrastructure for WISE, and its obligations related to SMWSA. In exchange for funding the Rangeview District’s obligations in WISE, we have the sole right to use and reuse the Rangeview District’s 9% share of the WISE water and infrastructure to provide water service to the Rangeview District’s customers and to receive the revenue from such service. Our current WISE subscription entitles us to approximately 3.0 million gallons per day of transmission pipeline capacity and up to 900 acre-feet per year of water.

Critical Accounting Policies and Use of Estimates
Our critical accounting policies and estimates are described in “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” within Item 7 “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Note 3 of the financial statements included in our 2025 Annual Report. The accounting policies and estimates used in preparing our interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended November 30, 2025, are the same as those described in our 2025 Annual Report. There have been no changes to our critical accounting policies during the three months ended November 30, 2025. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted from the interim financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. The unaudited consolidated financial statements and other information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto in our 2025 Annual Report.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
Not applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) of the Exchange Act that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted to the SEC under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC’s rules and forms, and that information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. The President and the Chief Financial Officer evaluated the effectiveness of disclosure controls and procedures as of November 30, 2025, pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the President and the Chief Financial Officer each concluded that as of November 30, 2025, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
No changes were made to our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
District 1 Water Court - 2020 Application
The Company, Rangeview District and the State Land Board filed a Water Court Application in Colorado Water Court Division 1 on December 31, 2020 seeking to: (1) adjudicate 1,635 acre feet of water from the Box Elder Creek Alluvial aquifer (a new water right), (2) consolidate and enlarge certain reservoirs on the Lowry Ranch, (3) approve new places of use for existing water rights, (4) approve new places of storage for certain water rights, and (5) approve a new alternate diversion point for certain existing water rights. On February 7, 2025, the Water Court initially denied the application regarding the new water rights and the reservoir enlargement. Neither of these rulings impacted our existing water rights or existing reservoir storage sites. The Company and all opposing parties continued to work together on a resolution and reached a settlement agreement, which was approved by the Water Court on December 9, 2025. The settlement replaced the February 7, 2025 court ruling and grants the Company and the Rangeview Metropolitan District the new water rights, with certain stipulated conditions, and approves the remaining requests in the application. As of the date of this filing, the Company has reversed its accrual for this matter.

Colorado Interstate Gas Company, L.L.C. v. Rangeview Metropolitan District, Pure Cycle Corporation, et al.
On December 11, 2025, Colorado Interstate Gas Company, L.L.C. ("CIG") filed a complaint against the Company, Rangeview Metropolitan District, and Prosper Farms Investments, LLC in the District Court of Arapahoe County, Colorado. The complaint alleges that the Company’s proposed construction and operation of the Rangeview water pipeline on the Prosper Farms property encroaches upon CIG’s existing natural gas pipeline easements and interferes with CIG's ability to comply with federal safety regulations.
CIG seeks injunctive relief to limit the Company from constructing the water pipeline within 25 feet of CIG's pipelines, a mandatory injunction to remove any related facilities or fill within that zone, and a declaratory judgment establishing a fixed 25-foot easement width for its pipelines. Additionally, CIG seeks unspecified monetary damages for alleged trespass and breach of easement.
The Company believes these claims are without merit and intends to vigorously defend its rights to construct and operate Rangeview’s water pipeline within the easement under the approved parameters. As of the date of this filing, the Company has not recorded an accrual for this matter, as management does not believe a loss is probable or that potential damages, if any, are reasonably estimable.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
On November 2, 2022, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program. The program is open-ended and authorizes repurchases of up to an aggregate of 200,000 shares of common stock in the open market. The Company did not repurchase shares during the quarter ended November 30, 2025. The following table summarizes the purchase of our common stock subsequent to quarter end and through January 6, 2026:
