Thanks, Joe. Good afternoon, everybody, and thanks for becoming a member of our name. I’ve with me right now Leo Kij, our Interim Chief Monetary Officer; Mike Alvarado, our Chief Authorized Officer; and Kim Tobler, our Vice President Treasurer and Tax. Stuart Miller, our Government Chairman is becoming a member of us remotely.
I am happy to replace you right now on the progress of the Firm via the fourth quarter and for the total 12 months of 2022. I can even replace you on our group’s focus as we transfer via the present actual property market down cycle and our methods for 2023. Subsequent, Leo will give an outline of the corporate’s monetary efficiency and situation. We’ll then open the road for inquiries to our administration group.
It’s notable for the primary time we’re reporting our earnings inside three weeks of the shut of our quarter. We’re in charge of our enterprise. As I wrap up my first 12 months as CEO of 5 Level, I would like to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of our group and to say I am very happy with them. 2022 was a 12 months of organizational transition, working via the impacts ensuing from the Federal Reserve’s aggressive improve in rates of interest. By way of all of it, the group has remained centered on our operational priorities.
Turning to our monetary outcomes, consolidated web revenue in our fourth quarter was $22.5 million, and our SG&A was $13.1 million, a $4.5 million discount in SG&A in comparison with This fall 2021. Consolidated SG&A for the 12 months was $54.6 million a 29% discount from 2021. We ended the 12 months with money and money equivalents of $131.8 million.
Two key successes contributed our fourth quarter optimistic outcomes. The primary was our execution on our business land gross sales technique the place the Nice Park Enterprise closed on a really robust sale of roughly 42 acres of business land for $240 million or $5.7 million per acre. On account of this sale and the robust money place of the Nice Park Enterprise, we obtained distributions and incentive compensation funds from the Nice Park Enterprise of roughly $67 million.
Our second key success throughout the quarter was renewal of our improvement administration settlement with Nice Park Enterprise which is now prolonged via the top of 2024. This extension displays a robust worth add that our administration group brings to the partnership.
As we begin the New 12 months and being nicely conscious that elevated rates of interest have modified the market dynamics, we can be centered on three predominant priorities: producing income, managing our capital spend and managing SG&A. Execution on these priorities ought to generate web optimistic money circulate for 2023 and supply the liquidity to permit us to capitalize on the alternatives that we count on to be out there when the market stabilizes.
With the institution of our business land enterprise, we now have two potential supply of significant income, residential and business. Throughout 2023, we anticipate that the Fed rate of interest tightening cycle will finish and the housing market will modify the brand new rate of interest surroundings, increasing purchaser demand because the 12 months progresses. Though we see 2023 as a transition 12 months in residential, the one actuality that can’t be denied is that in our California markets, housing continues to be in brief provide and there’s nonetheless demand for well-located properties in grasp deliberate communities. We are going to stay affected person and handle our enterprise to realities of the present market.
To that finish, we’ll be seeking to work with the builders to promote land at costs that replicate the stability between present market circumstances and a shortage of entitlement stock in our markets. Following the profitable business land sale on the Nice Park final quarter, we stay optimistic in shifting ahead our distinctive business land choices on the Nice Park and Valencia, each of that are positioned with land constrained positioned with and land constrained markets. Moreover, we proceed to have historic low emptiness charges within the industrial market, coupled with continued lease progress which we count on will proceed to drive demand on this most popular asset class.
With over half of land in our preliminary business providing that Nice Park already bought, and continued curiosity in negotiations on remaining websites stay assured within the continued demand within the business markets for not solely industrial makes use of, however for different makes use of as nicely. In lots of situations, we’ve got the one entitled and prepared developed business and industrial land of its form out there.
Our fascinating communities, our distinctive property are complemented by a stability sheet that permits us to maximise worth with affected person choices. At quarter finish, our stability sheet mirrored a $131.8 million of money available and $0 drawn on $125 million revolver giving us out there liquidity of $256.8 million and a debt to capitalization ratio of 25.1%. We additionally haven’t any principal debt compensation obligations on our senior notes in 2023 or 2024.
I am going to now present some updates on every of our communities. The open builder neighborhoods on the Nice Park proceed to promote properties, however at decreased absorption charges in comparison with final 12 months. As has been the sample in prior new house gross sales slowdowns, coastal California holds up higher than within the markets and that’s what we’re seeing at our communities.
In the course of the fourth quarter, builders in our Nice Park group bought 113 properties, up from 82 properties in Q3 and for the 12 months bought 326 properties. Solis Park, which had its first mannequin advanced house in July of 2022, at the moment has 636 properties remaining bought on the unique 849 regardless that these numbers are small by historic requirements, primarily based on the present tempo of house gross sales, and typical time interval for builders transfer from land acquisition to omni mannequin properties, we consider that there can be a necessity for the builders once more shopping for land once more in 2023 to place themselves for brand spanking new house gross sales in 2024.
Our subsequent residential group in Nice Park District 5-South which is group of 719 properties and 11 neighborhoods, can be our focus in 2023. We beforehand introduced this group market proper earlier than the Federal Reserve started its aggressive fee will increase and after preliminary robust curiosity, new builders paused their land purchases.
We have accomplished new conversations with the builders and would anticipate shifting ahead on a few of the websites this 12 months. On high of the continuing residential alternatives at Nice Park, we’re actively engaged in promoting the stability of our preliminary business land providing. Our business parcels provide to the South County market one thing that is not been out there for years, massive parcels of entitled land of versatile zoning that enables a mess of makes use of, together with life sciences, R&D, workplace and industrial amongst others.
In Valencia, new house gross sales by builders totaled 49 properties throughout the fourth quarter, down from 166 properties within the third quarter reflecting the restricted out there stock. For the 12 months, builders bought a complete of 594 properties with 11 of 18 packages now bought out and at the moment solely 323 remaining properties out there from our preliminary 1,268 house choices. Builders proceed to work on their fashions for subsequent 12 months at Valencia, which encompasses 18 neighborhoods and 598 properties.
These neighborhoods are anticipated to open within the second and third quarters this 12 months, creating further stock to drive builder gross sales. Whereas we didn’t shut any house websites in 2022, we’re nonetheless partaking with the builders like and at the moment taking a look at alternatives so as to add single household flooring lease and multifamily flooring lease merchandise to our mixture of choices.
Particularly, multifamily is a robust actual property section that might present housing choices for residents and land revenues for us even throughout this time when this [per sale] residential market is beneath stress.
Lastly, we even have business alternatives in Valencia and we plan to deliver — signal 35-acre websites at market within the first quarter of 2023. San Francisco stays a precedence for 5 Level and for town and county of San Francisco. It’s irreplaceable land alongside San Francisco Bay with a broad mixture of accredited improvement alternatives. As we begin the New 12 months, we’ve got initiated the method to acquire approvable plan that rebalances the present improvement entitlements to facilitate Candlestick shifting ahead forward of Hunters’ Level Shipyard whereas nonetheless sustaining the general group improvement combine.
Concurrently, we’re working with town to replace the prevailing tax increment financing timelines to account for the navy delays at Hunters Level. 2023 can be a pivotal 12 months for San Francisco as we work via these points and set the groundwork for the standalone improvement of Candlestick as the primary section of the bigger combined use group.
In an effort to supply some context to the approaching 12 months, I really feel it could be useful to supply some sense of how we see this subsequent 12 months progressing. Clearly, there stays a lot uncertainty amid these difficult market circumstances. Due to this fact, my feedback can be extra basic in nature.
First, I would wish to reiterate that the optimistic end to 2022 provides us confidence in our business land technique. We count on to have business land gross sales at Nice Park and Valencia throughout 2023. Additional, as we reengage with our visitor builders over the subsequent few months, we count on to have the ability to discover mutually helpful methods to construction and worth our priceless residential land. At the moment, we do not really feel it will likely be prudent to supply estimates of the variety of business acres or potential house website gross sales. We count on as majority of 2023 land gross sales will happen within the third and fourth quarters.
Usually for the primary half of 2023, we count on to generate money from all sources of between $80 million and $100 million offset by whole capital expenditures of $45 million to $55 million, debt service funds and different accruals of roughly $45 million and different bills of $10 million for a cumulative expenditures of between $95 million and $110 million and by anticipated SG&A bills of between $12 million and $13 million per quarter or roughly $25 million for the primary half of the 12 months.
We are going to proceed to search for further financial savings alternatives in our SG&A. Whereas our money circulate for the primary half of the 12 months is anticipated to be mildly adverse, we proceed to make constructive progress to a money circulate optimistic mannequin, which we consider can be obtained by the second half of the 12 months and into the longer term.
In abstract, our final half of 2022 was difficult for the complete trade and we’re nicely conscious of the headwinds we’re nonetheless going through. We’re cautiously optimistic concerning the alternatives out there to us in 2023 and we’re assured in our capability to capitalize on them. With a give attention to accountability, we’re seeking to drive backside line efficiency, create optimistic money circulate and fortify our stability sheet whereas constructing shareholder worth.
We are going to proceed to observe the impression of rising rates of interest and inflation on purchaser demand for housing and we’ll modify our plans proactively to protect and maximize the worth of our grasp plan communities. Regardless of the latest challenges created by market circumstances, we’ve got optimistic momentum and are feeling ever extra optimistic about our future.

Query-and-Reply Session
Operator
[Operator Instructions] Our first query comes from the road of Alan Ratner with Zelman & Associates. Please proceed.
Alan Ratner
Hello, guys. Good afternoon. How are you, Dan? Good to listen to you. Thanks for all the knowledge. Very useful, particularly type of the money circulate buildup for 2023. I feel that is hopefully useful for individuals. I do know it is extra data than you’ve got offered prior to now. So admire that. I suppose earlier than we drill into a few of the particulars on that, simply by way of the builder urge for food for land. Clearly, the fourth quarter was a reasonably difficult surroundings and I feel final quarter you had type of signaled possibly you’ll get some residential lot gross sales within the quarter and clearly that did not occur. Nevertheless it looks as if the information circulate is getting a bit bit higher right here over the past handful of weeks. Builder sentiment bettering, charges persevering with to maneuver decrease, type of the conventional seasonal uptick is beginning to kick in right here forward of the promoting season.
So I am curious in the event you’ve had any newer conversations with builders for the reason that New 12 months? Has there been any indication that the builders wish to possibly dabble again into the land market after type of shifting into the sidelines within the again half of final 12 months or do you’re feeling like they’re nonetheless in wait-and-see mode type of making an attempt to determine how the promoting season unfolds?
Dan Hedigan
Alan, that is an actual good query. And the reply is that we really the entire builders that have been engaged prior and we name D5 South, we have already had conversations with them this month. A variety of them are sharpening pencils and beginning underwriting once more. We even have one sale that we have been in negotiations final 12 months that truly continues to be in course of, it is type of kicked over this 12 months that we’re nonetheless actively making an attempt to wrap up the ultimate items of that.
However the – what is not would not bounce out of those numbers, particularly if you concentrate on Nice Park particularly. We had 18 gross sales final week at Nice Park. The out there stock at Solis that is all was left within the Nice Park. It is going to be bought out by 12 months finish. So all of the builders we’re speaking to are all fascinated by their 2024 having a product out there in 2024. And as you already know, it is not too early to start out engaged on that. So, lengthy reply to your query, however we’ve got 4 or 5 builders actively re-underwriting proper now. And so we count on to do nicely there.
Alan Ratner
Nice, and that is actually useful. I imply, I did not fairly – sorry, go forward —
Dan Hedigan
Alan, I’d simply say, the indicators are optimistic. I imply, so I might say the early indicators very optimistic. However clearly, we will wait-and-see hopefully subsequent quarter and let you know extra, however early indicators are optimistic.
Alan Ratner
Nice. I do have a few fast housekeeping questions, I am going to simply ask shortly, hopefully we are able to verify via them. Primary, I might need missed it. Did you give the money stability quantity in Nice Park at 12 months finish? I feel that is the quantity you’ve got offered prior to now?
Dan Hedigan
You imply within the Nice Park partnership within the enterprise?
Alan Ratner
Sure, after the distributions, how a lot is remaining?
Leo Kij
$149 million.
Dan Hedigan
Sure, $149 million Alan.
Alan Ratner
And may we take into consideration the cadence of the distributions type of like the previous couple of years? I feel it has been extra within the again half of the 12 months or possibly after plenty of land sale. So ought to we take into consideration that equally in 2023 when you have a land sale within the again half of this 12 months that ought to coincide with one other distribution?
Dan Hedigan
Alan I haven’t got to – sure I imply, definitely as we’ve got the year-end land gross sales, we’d anticipate further distributions. However it’s essentially all tied to that as a result of the partnership may be very conservative and made a acutely aware resolution on the finish of the 12 months to carry on to more money as they see how this 12 months types out. So I feel we have been – usually are not essentially tied to land gross sales as a lot as we’re tied identical to everybody else, a bit little bit of readability on how the market is shifting ahead.
Alan Ratner
Received it, that is smart. One other query right here so that you talked about the plan for San Francisco feels like seeking to transfer ahead with Candlestick there. Simply considering via the money circulate, I am assuming when you guys get that plan accredited or we get to maneuver ahead with it, there’s going to be some improvement bills that have to happen clearly earlier than you e book any income. Is that contemplated in any respect in your 2023 expectation for money circulate to have any improvement bills there? And if not, what do you count on these bills to appear like as soon as they do start to kick in?
Dan Hedigan
Nicely, the primary a part of your query, we aren’t anticipating any of these bills in 2023. And you already know the – what it will take to type of kick that off clearly, we’ll have much more readability as we get nearer to that time limit, however attending to the primary business pad due to Candlesticks relationship to the 101, in the event you keep in mind, it was an energetic ballpark, individuals may get off 101 and go there.
It is really in comparison with plenty of tasks not that extraordinary. It is actual cash. I do not wish to mislead you in any respect. However I – to attempt to estimate what that may be proper this second, simply be a bit bit early, however the first pad may be very accessible from the 101 Freeway.
Alan Ratner
Received it, okay. That is useful. After which ultimate query, I feel you stated in that money buildup that you simply count on about $80 million to $90 million coming within the door within the first half of the 12 months. Are you able to type of simply break that up a bit bit? Is that – are these business land gross sales, is it residence gross sales, residential distribution to any further steering you may give on that?
Dan Hedigan
Sure, it is a mixture and actually – I am going to begin on the backside, really we completed. I imply, we predict an interim distribution within the first half of the 12 months primarily based on our view of the market. So it is actually a mixture, it is mixture of working income, CFT reimbursements and recoveries, gross sales that we’re at the moment engaged on after which clearly the distributions I simply talked about.
And so inside that basket of alternatives, we see – we’ve got visibility $80 million to $100 million within the first half of the 12 months type of in that basket and the way it lastly settles out, I can not let you know proper this second. However we’re feeling superb about that type of basket of alternatives.
Alan Ratner
Good, all proper. Nicely, thanks for taking all of my questions right here. I admire the time and finest luck with every part.
Dan Hedigan
Thanks Alan.
Operator
Our subsequent query comes from the road of [Ben Johnson with Intact Asset Management]. Please proceed.
Unidentified Analyst
Hello thanks for taking my questions right now.
Dan Hedigan
Positive. Hello, Ben.
Unidentified Analyst
Are you able to hear me?
Dan Hedigan
Sure, Ben we are able to. Thanks.
Unidentified Analyst
Nice, I used to be simply questioning in the event you may discuss a bit bit extra concerning the administration settlement and what materials modifications there apart from the financial facet? And may you discuss a bit bit about why there’s change management added to that? Thanks.
Dan Hedigan
So from the financial facet of it, it truly is once we did the one 12 months extension final 12 months, we type of modified the economics from a standpoint of type of reimbursement price to type of only a set month-to-month administration price. And in order that half has remained precisely the identical. That is simply rollover precisely as it’s. And we added mainly two years and there is been no change to our most popular return incomes in reference to that.
In order that it is actually the massive – the one change was actually that including these – really simply including the time. In your query concerning the change in management, our companions in which can be clearly very senior people and we’ve got spent a 12 months and I’ve spent my 12 months working with them and actually engaged on that relationship and so they really actually just like the administration group in place right now.
And so one of many issues that they’ve type of stated is, hey, we actually like how every part is working right now and we wish to ensure that in the event you Dan or Mike or Stewart aren’t engaged that we’ve got a possibility to talk into that as a result of we have got an excellent working relationship right now – going collectively.
So it is actually type of extra round type of that keyman query. And the change in management is – and that is going to additionally – it is also a continuity concern for them. They really need continuity due to what we have been capable of obtain the previous 12 months.
Unidentified Analyst
That makes plenty of sense. Actually admire all that shade. And may you discuss a bit bit about further entry to liquidity in the event you guys have a extra extended slowdown and possibly if charges do not actually transfer and constructing type of freezes up for a bit bit longer?
Dan Hedigan
Nicely, clearly, we’ve got the $125 million line that has zero drawn on it. As we type of undertaking out the market the place we’re going, we do not have the ideas that further liquidity can be wanted. And definitely, if the market would not recuperate we can be lowering prices materially. Proper now, we have got capital for income communities later this 12 months and into 2024, there’s some capital, though we’re being very cautious about it that must be spent. If we actually consider there wasn’t a possibility to generate income, we’d cease all of that, which might clearly assist liquidity.
Unidentified Analyst
Excellent. Thanks very a lot for answering all my questions.
Dan Hedigan
You are welcome. Thanks Ben.
Operator
[Operator Instructions] And our subsequent query comes from the road of Robert Heimowitz with Concise Capital. Please proceed.
Robert Heimowitz
Hello. I simply needed to start out by saying this via it, I began my profession in IR at Lennar and I realized a lot there and you actually have the toughest working in world class treasury and accounting groups. So now on to Dan, can we count on that you simply guys may construct extra properties via a price construct program. This was a really profitable program whenever you guys did it.

We have not seen the necessity proper now primarily based on the conversations we’re having with builders, however it’s definitely one thing that I am accustomed to and it is one thing that we may undoubtedly transfer to fairly simply that is actually the place the market strikes us.
Robert Heimowitz
Okay, nice. Subsequent query on the associated celebration tax legal responsibility. S&P is together with this debt of their calculations. Are you able to converse to any potential overhang right here?
Dan Hedigan
I am sorry, I feel are you referring to the TRA, the Tax Receivable Settlement?
Robert Heimowitz

Dan Hedigan

Robert Heimowitz
Sure. S&P is treating this as debt now on their calculations, they’re saying they do not know in the event you’ll acknowledge the tax financial savings and you may nonetheless have a legal responsibility related to it. So identical to how ought to we take into consideration this.
Leo Kij
Sure Robert, we have really had conversations with the ranking businesses about that and clarified that the TRA is a projected obligation primarily based on our capability to make use of it. And our expectation right now is that these funds would happen after the bonds expire. So it would not have an effect on the acquire – and our capability to pay the bonds and I wish to reiterate the duty solely arises if we profit from saving taxes. So to-date, the companions, the prior companions have been paying taxes that we’d have in any other case paid, however due to the way in which the calculation is made, we have not but benefited. So simply if that – did that provide help to?
Robert Heimowitz
Completely, I simply acquired yet one more, which is can we discuss concerning the phases of completion of the assorted house websites that you simply personal? It looks as if plenty of them have been slated to shut this 12 months, they need to all be near completion or able to be bought. So if we had what number of have been fully completed or what number of have been near being completed, like work in course of, we may type of know the liquidity of the tons whether or not they may go to land banks or spec builders ought to customized builders have dropped out. In order that’s my final query? Thanks.
Dan Hedigan
So Robert, let me first discuss Nice Park. We had D5 South shifting proper alongside final 12 months and as soon as once more being prudent when the gross sales weren’t materializing, we have got the black high down and we have got all of the moist sand and we [stopped that dry]. So we are able to full these tons fairly simply. So we’re type of in – we’re type of in place there and it will likely be the subsequent place that we – subsequent group we open in Nice Park and it is in, as you say, it is in superb form to maneuver ahead – about plenty of further capital however simply to remind everybody all that’s self-funded via the partnership. And we have got substantial liquidity to do what we have to do on these, however that is really in superb form.
After which whenever you get to Valencia. Valencia we’ve got really some websites which can be – I type of name them actually extra of infill websites that have been within the early elements of the Mission Village, which is what we type of name the primary space there. They’re really able to go. They’re [mass grading] all of them buildings in them and every part is stubbed.
