Greetings and welcome to the Five Point Holdings' Fourth Quarter and Year-End 2025 Conference Call. As a reminder, this call is being recorded. Today's call may include forward-looking statements regarding Five Point's business, financial condition, operations, cash flow, strategy, acquisitions and prospects. Forward-looking statements represent Five Point's estimates on the date of this conference call and are not intended to give any assurance as to actual future results. Because forward-looking statements relate to matters that have not yet occurred, these statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could affect future results and may cause Five Point's actual activities or results to differ materially from the activities and results anticipated in forward-looking statements. These factors include those described in today's press release and Five Point's SEC filings, including those in the Risk Factors section of Five Point's most recent annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. Please note that Five Point assumes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Now I would like to turn over the call to Dan Hedigan, President and Chief Executive Officer.

Daniel Hedigan

Management

Thank you, Vaughn. Good afternoon, and thank you for joining our call. I have with me today, Kim Tobler, our Chief Financial Officer; and Leo Kij, our Senior Vice President of Finance and Reporting. Stuart Miller, our Executive Chairman; and Mike Alvarado, our Chief Operating Officer and Chief Legal Officer, are joining us remotely. On today's call, I will review our fourth quarter and full year 2025 results, which marked another important milestone for Five Point. I'll discuss our operational progress during the year, highlight several major accomplishments across our communities and outline our strategic priorities as we move into 2026. Ken will then walk through our financial results in more detail and review our outlook. We'll open the line for questions following our prepared remarks. Turning first to our results. I'm very pleased to report that 2025 was another record year for Five Point despite challenging market conditions. In the fourth quarter, we generated $58.7 million in net income, resulting in annual consolidated net income of $183.5 million, exceeding our prior record set in 2024. Our net income for the year exceeded the revised guidance we issued in Q2 2025 by roughly $6 million, reflecting our team's expertise and consistent execution across our platform, disciplined capital management and continued pricing strength at the Great Park. Beyond our strong financial results, we also obtained critical entitlement approvals during the fourth quarter at both Valencia and the Great Park. I'll provide additional detail later in the community updates. These entitlements will enhance our near-term cash flows by creating a foundation for the company's future development. It goes without saying that we could not have hit these operational and financial milestones over the past few years without the dedicated and focused efforts of our small and efficient hard-working team. During the 3…

Thank you, Dan. As Dan shared, we finished a challenging year strongly and are positioned to effectively bring land in our existing communities to market, grow our Hearthstone land banking platform and seek other growth opportunities in coming years. I'm going to review our fourth quarter and annual results for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. I will then conclude with some guidance on what we are expecting in 2026. In the fourth quarter, we recognized $58.7 million of net income. This is made up of the following components: we added $42.5 million industrial land sale at our Valencia community and reported a 31.25% gross margin. We also had $33 million of management services revenue, $24.6 million associated with our management of the Great Park Venture and $21.2 million of which is incentive compensation. And finally, $8.4 million associated with Hearthstone. Our fourth quarter SG&A was $16 million. We recognized $44.9 million of equity in earnings from our unconsolidated entities, $44.2 million of which was generated by the Great Park Venture. The equity and earnings from the Great Park Venture resulted from net income of $128.2 million, which was largely attributable to land sales revenue of $181.5 million from closings in the quarter, for which we reported a 75.5% gross margin. Finally, we recognized $8.9 million of tax expense. As previously noted by Dan, our results for 2025 improved relative to 2024, demonstrating the impact of the sustained focus and operational discipline we have maintained over the past several years. For the year 2025, we recognized $183.5 million in net income that is made up of the following components: our fourth quarter industrial land sale at Valencia that I previously mentioned. We also had $65.3 million of management services revenue, $53.5 million associated with our management of the Great…

[Operator Instructions] Our first question comes from Alan Ratner with Zelman & Associates.

Alan Ratner

Analyst

Congrats on all the progress in 2025, really impressive results in a tough market, tough housing market, at least. So a lot to run through. I guess just thinking about '26, and I appreciate the guidance there, especially on the revenue and the income generation. I'm just curious when you think of your...

Kim Tobler

Management

Alan, we lost you. Can you repeat the question?

Alan Ratner

Analyst

Can you hear me okay? Can you hear me now guys?

Kim Tobler

Management

We couldn't hear Alan.

Alan Ratner

Can you hear me now?

Kim Tobler

Kim Tobler

We hear you now, Alan.

Alan Ratner

Analyst

Okay. Sorry about that. I don't know what happened. So I will start over. And first off, just congratulating you guys on all the great progress you made in '25. So what I was hoping to get, and I appreciate the guidance on the income drivers for '26. When you look, I guess, specifically at the 2 wholly owned projects, Valencia and San Francisco, I was hoping you could walk through a little bit what the expectation is for development expenditures in '26 and beyond. I know you mentioned the new entitlements on Valencia. So curious if we should expect to see a ramp in development spending there. And in San Francisco as well, if you can kind of quantify the ramp there now that you're expecting to begin some work there.

Kim Tobler

Management

Thanks, Alan. Just as it relates to San Francisco, we're in the process of permitting right now, which is requiring a great deal of capital. And we also have permitting that's going to be done at Valencia as well. What I'd suggest you use is for both of those projects, about the same as the capital we spent in the current year, which is about $125 million. So that will be spread between the projects and continue at that pace. We're trying to keep that pace constant as we increase the development in both places.

Alan Ratner

Analyst

Got it. That's helpful. And then I think -- I just want to make sure I'm understanding the entitlement approvals that you guys got. You walked through the Valencia one. I think you also have a reference to approvals in Great Park as well. And I wasn't sure, is that additive to the acreage that you guys have previously disclosed as far as what remains saleable in Great Park? Or is that just part of the main...

Management

Alan, are you there?

Alan Ratner

Analyst

Yes. I am.

Daniel Hedigan

Management

We're having a little audio problem here. Okay. On your question on -- I think I heard most of your question on Great Park. So Great Park, I think we've been talking about it. We have 100 acres of land that was identified for commercial uses. But we have worked with the city because they were also identified in their RHNA plan. These sites were identified for RHNA units. So we have actually worked with them to convert that commercial to residential uses. So that is -- I think you're asking, that's really additive to anything we had before.

Alan Ratner

Analyst

Got it. So it was 100 acres and now you're up to what you said 150 based on this new approval?

Daniel Hedigan

Management

I'm sorry, I missed part of that, Alan.

Alan Ratner

Analyst

You were at 100 acres and now with this RHNA approval, you're at 150. Is that correct?

Daniel Hedigan

Management

No -- I'm sorry, yes. So what that is when -- we have land that we have -- we have existing residential land that we have not transacted on. So we still have additional original entitlement. The 100 are additive to that. And so Kim...

Kim Tobler

Management

Alan, just to be clear, we have 155 acres left at the Great Park. The 55 was already residential. And that's what was left of the residential that we were working our way through. The 100 was commercial land that has now been redesignated as residential as a result of the entitlements.
