Speaker #2: Turning to the first quarter, as expected, we began 2026 with a relatively quiet quarter from a land sales perspective and reported a consolidated net loss of $5 million.

Speaker #2: This result was driven primarily by the timing of land sales as we did not have any significant residential land closings during the quarter. As we've discussed in prior periods, our earnings are inherently tied to the timing of land transactions and we expect variability from quarter to quarter depending on when these sales occur.

Daniel Hedigan: This result was driven primarily by the timing of land sales, as we did not have any significant residential land closings during the quarter. As we've discussed in prior periods, our earnings are inherently tied to the timing of land transactions, and we expect variability from quarter to quarter depending on when these sales occur. From a revenue standpoint, we generated $13.6 million during the quarter, primarily from management services associated with our Great Park and Hearthstone segments. From a balance sheet perspective, we ended the quarter with total liquidity of $550.1 million, including $332 million of cash and cash equivalents. This level of liquidity continues to provide us with substantial flexibility to operate the business, manage through market cycles, and pursue strategic opportunities, including the $40 million share repurchase that we announced today, which I'll discuss in more detail later in my remarks.

Speaker #2: Operationally, activity across our communities remains steady. At the Great Park Builder, sold 82 homes during the quarter. Our Valencia saw 90 home sales. While these volumes reflect a more measured pace than we saw at certain points in 2025, they demonstrate continued engagement from a home buyers, even at a more challenging environment.

While these volumes reflect a more measured pace than we saw at certain points in 2025, they demonstrate continued engagement from the home buyers, even in a more challenging environment. As we look ahead, we continue to expect our earnings in 2026 to be weighted toward Q3 and Q4 as land sales close and fee-based income from Hearthstone grows. Let me now turn to the market. The current market environment is unsettled, and consumer confidence has been impacted by a number of factors, including geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the conflict in Middle East, increased volatility in financial markets, and mortgage rates that have risen again recently after trending down briefly.

The current market environment is unsettled, and consumer confidence has been impacted by a number of factors, including geopolitical uncertainty stemming from the conflict in the Middle East, increased volatility in financial markets, and mortgage rates that have risen again recently after trending down briefly.

Speaker #2: We're seeing the impact of these dynamics across the home building sector as consumers have been hesitant to make large purchase decisions in uncertain environments.

Daniel Hedigan: We're seeing the impact of these dynamics across the home building sector as consumers have been hesitant to make large purchase decisions in uncertain environments. Prior to the start of the conflict in the Middle East, we saw green shoots of improvement in consumer confidence, driven in part by a reduction in mortgage rates. We believe that markets and demand will recover following the resolution of the conflict. These recent trends have translated into slower absorption rates and a more cautious approach by builders in committing to new land purchases in the near term. That said, since our communities are located in California markets that remain chronically undersupplied, we continue to see demand for our homesites. With our liquidity and balance sheet, we have the flexibility to adjust the pace and structure of our land sales in order to protect long-term value.

Speaker #2: I'll share more about our land sales during my community updates. Let me now turn to the $40 million share repurchase that our board has approved.

Daniel Hedigan: I'll share more about our land sales during my community updates. Let me now turn to the $40 million share repurchase that our board has approved. We believe the share repurchase gives us the ability to opportunistically deploy capital at an attractive return, given that our shares are currently trading at a significant discount to book value. Importantly, the repurchase has been structured to preserve financial flexibility. Even after execution, we expect to maintain substantial liquidity to support our operations, development activities, and strategic growth initiatives. Let me now turn to our operating strategy. As a reminder, our strategy is built around four key elements. First, we are focused on optimizing homesite value within our master-planned communities by aligning land sales with home builder demand.

Speaker #2: In the current environment, this means being disciplined and patient and, in some cases, moderating the pace of land sales or using different land sales structures to maintain long-term value.

Daniel Hedigan: In the current environment, this means being disciplined and patient, and in some cases, moderating the pace of land sales or using different land sale structures to maintain long-term value. Second, we're maintaining a lean operating structure and carefully managing our fixed costs and overhead. This discipline has been a defining characteristic of Five Point over the past several years. It remains a core focus as we move forward. Third, we are matching development expenditures with revenue generation. We continue to take a measured approach to infrastructure spending, ensuring that capital is deployed in line with near-term monetization opportunities. Fourth, we continue to expand our platform through capital-light growth initiatives. The addition of the Hearthstone platform was an important step in this strategy, and we continue to evaluate new land development opportunities focused on managing capital dedicated to providing housing in select US markets.

Speaker #2: Our focus will remain on executing against these priorities as we navigate the current environment and position the company for long-term growth. Let me now provide you with some updates on our communities, starting with the Great Park neighborhoods.

Daniel Hedigan: Our focus will remain on executing against these priorities as we navigate the current environment and position the company for long-term growth. Let me now provide you with some updates on our communities, starting with the Great Park neighborhoods. At the Great Park, we continue to see steady builder activity, with 82 homes sold during Q1. While absorption has moderated compared to prior periods, as certain collections have sold out, builder interest in the community remains solid, and we continue to work closely with our guest builders on future land sales and program development. We currently have 12 actively selling programs in the Great Park neighborhoods, with 7 additional programs planned to open later this year. These current and upcoming programs will ensure our guest builders can continue delivering a wide variety of housing options throughout Great Park neighborhoods.

These builders are currently in due diligence, and we expect to close these land sales by the end of this year. We anticipate pricing will be consistent with our most recent land sales. Next, I'll discuss Valencia, our other active community. Valencia is in the beginning phases of a long-term development timeline and is poised to provide critical housing in the Los Angeles market. Builders sold 90 homes here during the quarter, reflecting continued progress at our first village in the community. We currently have 11 builder programs open and actively selling.

Daniel Hedigan: We're also currently in discussions with builders about potential residential land sales in 2026, which may include a rolling option land sale structure that helps enhance our land values by reducing the carry costs for the builder. As I noted earlier in my comments, our balance sheet and liquidity allow us to be patient and to pursue creative solutions in order to optimize value obtained for our homesites. As we discussed on our last call, the entitlement approvals we secured for Entrada South and Valencia Commerce Center in 2025 have significantly enhanced the long-term value and development potential of this asset.

Daniel Hedigan: Upon approval, these villages, together with our existing entitlements, will bring our total to more than 10,000 entitled homesites, providing a substantial long-term pipeline of homesites to support LA County's chronically undersupplied housing market. Turning to San Francisco, we're waiting for issuance of final permits to initiate the next phase of land development at Candlestick. We expect that this initial work will begin shortly. Our development is starting at a time when residential rents and home prices in San Francisco are rising, and the demand coming from AI and other tech companies in the commercial space seem to be growing quarter after quarter.

Before moving on, I just want to reiterate that across all of our communities, our approach remains consistent. We're focused on pacing development and homesite sales in a way that aligns with market conditions and optimizes long-term value. Now let me touch on Hearthstone briefly. The integration of the Hearthstone team and operations have continued to progress well, and we expect our management fee revenues to increase as recently committed capital is deployed into new projects. Mike and Kim will provide additional detail on operational financial results for Hearthstone in their remarks. Before I wrap up, let me provide an outlook for the rest of the year.

Let me conclude by saying that while the market environment has become more challenging in recent months, Five Point remains well positioned. We have a strong balance sheet, substantial liquidity, and a deep inventory of well-located land in supply-constrained markets. These strengths provide us with the flexibility to navigate near-term uncertainty while continuing to focus on long-term value creation. We also have a very experienced team with seasoned professionals who have been through numerous market cycles and disruptions and have the depth of knowledge to navigate through these cycles in a constructive manner. As always, we'll continue to monitor market conditions directly and adapt as needed. With that, I'll turn it over to Mike.

Speaker #1: Thanks, Dan. Let me begin by discussing our Hearthstone venture which provides management services to residential land banking funds.

As Dan mentioned on our last call, we anticipated securing commitments from significant new capital partners for the Hearthstone platform during Q1, and we successfully closed 2 new funds for a total of $600 million in new equity commitments. This will provide the platform with the ability to deploy approximately $1 billion in capital with leverage. The Hearthstone platform currently has approximately $3.4 billion in assets under management and has over 30,000 homesites under control, with 13 home builders in 16 states.

We are very excited about the strength of the Hearthstone team and the potential to scale this business. Moving beyond Hearthstone, you have heard us discuss that we are exploring additional growth opportunities available to Five Point, particularly in our core land development business, by utilizing outside capital partners to joint venture with on these projects, integrate additional fee-based revenue streams. This is a familiar structure for us, as we have used it successfully at The Great Park. Our confidence in finding future opportunities lies in the fact that the US home building market is anchored by large national builders with significant and recurring demand for finished homesites.

Speaker #1: Our confidence in finding future opportunities lies in the fact that the U.S. home building market is anchored by large national builders with significant and recurring demand for finished home sites.

Speaker #1: The numbers are substantial, to say the least, especially when it is widely reported that these numbers continue to reflect a significant shortfall compared to demand.

Mike Alvarado: The numbers are substantial, to say the least, especially when it is widely reported that these numbers continue to reflect a significant shortfall compared to demand. Based on the home deliveries reported by the larger public home builders, the size of the addressable market is north of 250,000 homesites per year. This demand should create the underpinnings of a durable and growing opportunity for institutional land developers like Five Point. We are continuing our work to identify opportunities that will provide recurring management fees and attractive returns on investment, and we expect to have more to report on these initiatives on future calls. Now, let me turn it over to Kim, who will report on our financial results for the quarter.

Speaker #2: Thank you, Mike. As Dan shared, as expected, this was a quiet quarter without land sales. And we recognize the small loss of $5 million.

Kim Tobler: Thank you, Mike. As Dan shared, as expected, this was a quiet Q1 without land sales, and we recognized a small loss of $5 million. Our Q1 loss of $5 million was largely made up of the following components. We had $13 million of management services revenue, $6.9 million associated with our management of The Great Park venture, $3.5 million of that, which was incentive compensation, and $6.1 million associated with Hearthstone. There is $6.9 million of management services costs and expenses associated with that revenue. We recognized a small loss from our unconsolidated entities of $145,000, largely because we did not have any sales at The Great Park venture. Our Q1 SG&A was $14.7 million, consistent with the prior year Q1 of $14.8 million. Finally, we recognized $900,000 of tax benefit. Now, a few words about our cash and liquidity.

Speaker #2: Our first quarter loss of $5 million was largely made up of the following components. We had $13 million of management services revenue, $6.9 million associated with our management of the Great Park venture, $3.5 million of that which was incentive compensation.

Speaker #2: And $6.1 million associated with Hearthstone. There is $6.9 million of management services costs and expenses associated with that revenue. We recognized a small loss from our unconsolidated entities of $145,000, largely because we did not have any sales at the Great Park venture.

Speaker #2: Our first quarter SG&A was $14.7 million, consistent with the prior year first quarter of $14.8 million. Finally, we recognized $900,000 of tax benefits. Now, a few words about our cash and liquidity.

Speaker #2: As Dan mentioned, we ended the quarter with $332.6 million of cash as well as $217.5 million of availability on a revolving credit facility. Resulting in total liquidity of $550.1 million.

Daniel Hedigan: As Dan mentioned, we ended the quarter with $332.6 million of cash, as well as $217.5 million of availability on a revolving credit facility, resulting in total liquidity of $550.1 million. At the end of the quarter, our debt to total capitalization ratio was 16.3%, and our net debt was $117.4 million. I'd also like to note that during the quarter, we paid down principal of $40.1 million and accrued and current interest of $6.2 million with respect to our related party EB-5 reimbursement obligation. This leaves approximately $18.5 million due on this obligation. I would like to now provide a little more information regarding our Hearthstone venture. First, Mike shared that as of the end of our Q1, the assets under management were $3.4 billion.

Speaker #2: When considering this number, I would like to note that we do not earn fees on a portion of the AUM that is attributable to builder deposits.

Daniel Hedigan: When considering this number, I would like to note that we do not earn fees on a portion of the AUM that is attributable to builder deposits. As of 31 March, such builder deposits were approximately $600 million, which leaves $2.8 billion of fee-paying assets under management. Also, I want to mention that historically, Hearthstone's asset management fees have been made up of a monthly base fee plus a deferred performance fee. The performance fee is based on overall returns at the end of the fund or tranches within the fund. I mention this because you will see some volatility in the implied fee associated with changes in estimates of the performance fees and true-ups when funds or tranches are complete.

Speaker #2: Finally, as Dan mentioned, we are reaffirming the guidance we gave at the beginning of the year. And we expect to end the year with approximately $100 million in earnings with the expectation that we will have material sales in the third and fourth quarters.

Daniel Hedigan: Finally, as Dan mentioned, we are reaffirming the guidance we gave at the beginning of the year, and we expect to end the year with approximately $100 million in earnings, with the expectation that we will have material sales in Q3 and Q4. Dan also mentioned that our board has approved a share repurchase of up to $40 million. While we are not predicting at this time over what period the share repurchase will be effectuated, we anticipate that we will finish the year with more than $300 million in cash and total liquidity of over $500 million, even after taking share repurchases into account. With that, let me turn it back to the operator, who will open the line for questions.

Speaker #4: Hey, guys. Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. First question, maybe I'll start with Hearthstone. Just listening to homebuilder conference calls this quarter, I think land banking's been a pretty topical issue that investors are focusing on.

Alan Ratner: Hey, guys. Good afternoon. Thanks for taking my question. First question, maybe I'll start with Hearthstone. Just listening to home builder conference calls this quarter, I think land banking's been a pretty topical issue that investors are focusing on. I'm curious if you could just talk through a little bit how your typical land banking deals with builders are structured in terms of deposits, in terms of, are they monthly payments for interest or quarterly, annual? Have you seen more recently any changes in appetite from builders in terms of their appetite for land banking? Thank you.

Speaker #4: And I'm curious if you could just talk through a little bit how your typical land banking deals with builders are structured in terms of deposits, in terms of are they monthly payments for interest, or quarterly, annual.

Speaker #4: And have you seen, more recently, any changes in appetite from builders in terms of their appetite for land banking? Thank you.

Speaker #5: Hey, Alan. Dan, thank you for the question. I'm going to give this one to Kim, if you don't mind. He can give you a little more detail.

Daniel Hedigan: Hey, Alan. Dan. Thank you for the question. I'm going to give this one to Kim, if you don't mind. He can give you a little more detail.

Dan Hedigan: Hey, Alan. Dan. Thank you for the question. I'm going to give this one to Kim, if you don't mind. He can give you a little more detail.

Speaker #2: Hi, Alan. Just quickly, without getting too granular, our land banks use a contract where there's a monthly option payment. The builder has a right to buy the land at the cost that we purchased it at, plus any improvements that were made during the life of the contract.

Kim Tobler: Hi, Alan. Just quickly, without getting too granular, our land banks use a contract where there's a monthly option payment. The builder has a right to buy the land at the cost that we purchased it at, plus any improvements that were made during the life of the contract. That's the typical arrangement that we have.

Speaker #2: So, that’s the typical arrangement that we have.

Speaker #4: Got it. And have you seen any changes in appetite from builders? I know it's a short time period, but I guess over the last few months here, has there been any kind of changes in what they're seeking in terms of terms, or have they been pretty consistent?

Alan Ratner: Got it. Have you seen any changes in appetite from builders? I know it's a short time period, but I guess over the last few months here, has there been any kind of changes in what they're seeking in terms of terms, or has it been pretty consistent?

Speaker #2: No, very consistent. And we're still seeing reasonable interest and progress.

Daniel Hedigan: No, very consistent. We're still seeing reasonable interest and progress.

Dan Hedigan: No, very consistent. We're still seeing reasonable interest and progress.

Speaker #4: Great. Another question, shifting to the development side—with fuel prices on the rise here, I'm curious, have you started to see any inflation creeping back into your development expenses?

Alan Ratner: Great. Another question, shifting to the development side. With fuel prices on the rise here, I'm curious, have you started to see any inflation creeping back into your development expenses? Is that something you're concerned about or focused on? Just generally, if you could talk more broadly about what you're seeing on inflation, that would be great. Thank you.

Speaker #4: Is that something you're concerned about or focused on and just generally, if you could talk more broadly about what you're seeing on inflation? That would be great.

Speaker #4: Thank you.

Speaker #5: Thanks, Alan. The right now, I think from a standpoint of your question on fuel costs is. It's a good time for us. We're not actively grading.

Daniel Hedigan: Thanks, Alan. Right now, I think from a standpoint of your question on fuel costs, it's a good time for us. We're not actively grading. We won't be starting any active grading up in Valencia till the end of the year. That hopefully gives us a real opportunity for these markets to stabilize on the fuel side. We are doing some grading at The Great Park, but pretty much most of our work had been done there, so we're kind of doing the fine grading. We haven't really seen any major impact, any costs in our budgets caused by fuel. Obviously, we'll have more to say or think about that as we get towards the end of this year and we start some active grading. Overall, though, we are not seeing any additional increases in our budgets right now for our land development.
