Thanks, Joe. Good afternoon, everybody, and thanks for becoming a member of our name. I’ve with me as we speak 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 Govt Chairman is becoming a member of us remotely.
I am happy to replace you as we speak on the progress of the Firm by way of the fourth quarter and for the total 12 months of 2022. I may also replace you on our staff’s focus as we transfer by way of the present actual property market down cycle and our methods for 2023. Subsequent, Leo will give an summary of the corporate’s monetary efficiency and situation. We’ll then open the road for inquiries to our administration staff.
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 staff and to say I am very happy with them. 2022 was a 12 months of organizational transition, working by way of the impacts ensuing from the Federal Reserve’s aggressive enhance in rates of interest. By means of all of it, the staff has remained centered on our operational priorities.
Turning to our monetary outcomes, consolidated internet 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 constructive outcomes. The primary was our execution on our industrial land gross sales technique the place the Nice Park Enterprise closed on a really sturdy sale of roughly 42 acres of business land for $240 million or $5.7 million per acre. Because of this sale and the sturdy 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 through the quarter was renewal of our growth administration settlement with Nice Park Enterprise which is now prolonged by way of the tip of 2024. This extension displays a robust worth add that our administration staff brings to the partnership.
As we begin the New 12 months and being effectively conscious that elevated rates of interest have modified the market dynamics, we will probably be centered on three principal priorities: producing income, managing our capital spend and managing SG&A. Execution on these priorities ought to generate internet constructive money circulation for 2023 and supply the liquidity to permit us to capitalize on the alternatives that we anticipate to be accessible when the market stabilizes.
With the institution of our industrial land enterprise, we now have two potential supply of significant income, residential and industrial. 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 setting, increasing purchaser demand because the 12 months progresses. Though we see 2023 as a transition 12 months in residential, the one actuality that can not be denied is that in our California markets, housing continues to be in brief provide and there may be nonetheless demand for well-located houses 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 mirror the steadiness between present market situations and a shortage of entitlement stock in our markets. Following the profitable industrial land sale on the Nice Park final quarter, we stay optimistic in transferring ahead our distinctive industrial 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 hire development which we anticipate will proceed to drive demand on this most well-liked asset class.
With over half of land in our preliminary industrial providing that Nice Park already bought, and continued curiosity in negotiations on remaining websites stay assured within the continued demand within the industrial markets for not solely industrial makes use of, however for different makes use of as effectively. In lots of situations, now we have the one entitled and prepared developed industrial and industrial land of its form available in the market.
Our fascinating communities, our distinctive property are complemented by a steadiness sheet that allows us to maximise worth with affected person choices. At quarter finish, our steadiness sheet mirrored a $131.8 million of money available and $0 drawn on $125 million revolver giving us accessible liquidity of $256.8 million and a debt to capitalization ratio of 25.1%. We additionally haven’t any principal debt reimbursement obligations on our senior notes in 2023 or 2024.
I will now present some updates on every of our communities. The open builder neighborhoods on the Nice Park proceed to promote houses, however at decreased absorption charges in comparison with final 12 months. As has been the sample in prior new residence gross sales slowdowns, coastal California holds up higher than within the markets and that’s what we’re seeing at our communities.
Throughout the fourth quarter, builders in our Nice Park group bought 113 houses, up from 82 houses in Q3 and for the 12 months bought 326 houses. Solis Park, which had its first mannequin complicated residence in July of 2022, at the moment has 636 houses remaining bought on the unique 849 though these numbers are small by historic requirements, based mostly on the present tempo of residence gross sales, and typical time interval for builders transfer from land acquisition to omni mannequin houses, we consider that there will probably be a necessity for the builders once more shopping for land once more in 2023 to place themselves for brand spanking new residence gross sales in 2024.
Our subsequent residential group in Nice Park District 5-South which is group of 719 houses and 11 neighborhoods, will probably be our focus in 2023. We beforehand introduced this group market proper earlier than the Federal Reserve started its aggressive charge will increase and after preliminary sturdy curiosity, new builders paused their land purchases.
We have performed new conversations with the builders and would anticipate transferring ahead on among the websites this 12 months. On high of the continuing residential alternatives at Nice Park, we’re actively engaged in promoting the steadiness of our preliminary industrial land providing. Our industrial parcels supply to the South County market one thing that is not been accessible 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 residence gross sales by builders totaled 49 houses through the fourth quarter, down from 166 houses within the third quarter reflecting the restricted accessible stock. For the 12 months, builders bought a complete of 594 houses with 11 of 18 applications now bought out and at the moment solely 323 remaining houses accessible from our preliminary 1,268 residence choices. Builders proceed to work on their fashions for subsequent 12 months at Valencia, which encompasses 18 neighborhoods and 598 houses.
These neighborhoods are anticipated to open within the second and third quarters this 12 months, creating extra stock to drive builder gross sales. Whereas we didn’t shut any residence websites in 2022, we’re nonetheless partaking with the builders like and at the moment alternatives so as to add single household flooring hire and multifamily flooring hire merchandise to our mixture of choices.
Specifically, multifamily is a robust actual property phase that would present housing choices for residents and land revenues for us even throughout this time when this [per sale] residential market is below strain.
Lastly, we even have industrial alternatives in Valencia and we plan to carry — signal 35-acre websites at market within the first quarter of 2023. San Francisco stays a precedence for 5 Level and for the town and county of San Francisco. It’s irreplaceable land alongside San Francisco Bay with a broad mixture of authorised growth alternatives. As we begin the New 12 months, now we have initiated the method to acquire approvable plan that rebalances the present growth entitlements to facilitate Candlestick transferring ahead forward of Hunters’ Level Shipyard whereas nonetheless sustaining the general group growth combine.
Concurrently, we’re working with the town to replace the prevailing tax increment financing timelines to account for the navy delays at Hunters Level. 2023 will probably be a pivotal 12 months for San Francisco as we work by way of these points and set the groundwork for the standalone growth of Candlestick as the primary part of the bigger combined use group.
In an effort to supply some context to the approaching 12 months, I really feel it might 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 situations. Subsequently, my feedback will probably be extra basic in nature.
First, I would prefer to reiterate that the constructive end to 2022 offers us confidence in our industrial land technique. We anticipate to have industrial land gross sales at Nice Park and Valencia throughout 2023. Additional, as we reengage with our visitor builders over the subsequent few months, we anticipate to have the ability to discover mutually useful methods to construction and worth our helpful residential land. Presently, we do not really feel it is going to be prudent to supply estimates of the variety of industrial acres or potential residence web site gross sales. We anticipate as majority of 2023 land gross sales will happen within the third and fourth quarters.
Typically for the primary half of 2023, we anticipate 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 extra financial savings alternatives in our SG&A. Whereas our money circulation for the primary half of the 12 months is anticipated to be mildly destructive, we proceed to make constructive progress to a money circulation constructive mannequin, which we consider will probably be obtained by the second half of the 12 months and into the long run.
In abstract, our final half of 2022 was difficult for your complete trade and we’re effectively conscious of the headwinds we’re nonetheless dealing with. We’re cautiously optimistic concerning the alternatives accessible to us in 2023 and we’re assured in our skill to capitalize on them. With a give attention to accountability, we’re seeking to drive backside line efficiency, create constructive money circulation and fortify our steadiness sheet whereas constructing shareholder worth.
We are going to proceed to observe the influence 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 situations, now we have constructive 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 circulation buildup for 2023. I believe that is hopefully useful for individuals. I do know it is extra data than you’ve got supplied previously. So respect that. I assume earlier than we drill into among the particulars on that, simply by way of the builder urge for food for land. Clearly, the fourth quarter was a reasonably difficult setting and I believe final quarter you had type of signaled perhaps you’ll get some residential lot gross sales within the quarter and clearly that did not occur. But it surely looks like the information circulation is getting a bit of bit higher right here during the last handful of weeks. Builder sentiment enhancing, 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 more moderen conversations with builders for the reason that New 12 months? Has there been any indication that the builders wish to perhaps dabble again into the land market after type of transferring 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 attempting to determine how the promoting season unfolds?
Dan Hedigan
Alan, that is an actual good query. And the reply is that we really all the builders that have been engaged prior and we name D5 South, we have already had conversations with them this month. Quite a lot 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 attempting to wrap up the ultimate items of that.
However the – what is not would not soar out of those numbers, particularly if you concentrate on Nice Park specifically. We had 18 gross sales final week at Nice Park. The accessible stock at Solis that is all was left within the Nice Park. Will probably be bought out by 12 months finish. So all of the builders we’re speaking to are all desirous about their 2024 having a product accessible in 2024. And as you understand, it isn’t too early to begin engaged on that. So, lengthy reply to your query, however now we have 4 or 5 builders actively re-underwriting proper now. And so we anticipate to do effectively there.
Alan Ratner
Nice, and that is actually useful. I imply, I did not fairly – sorry, go forward —
Dan Hedigan
Alan, I would just say, the indicators are constructive. I imply, so I’d say the early indicators very constructive. However clearly, we will wait-and-see hopefully subsequent quarter and inform you extra, however early indicators are constructive.
Alan Ratner
Nice. I do have a few fast housekeeping questions, I will simply ask rapidly, hopefully we are able to test by way of them. Primary, I might need missed it. Did you give the money steadiness quantity in Nice Park at 12 months finish? I believe that is the quantity you’ve got supplied previously?
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 believe it has been extra within the again half of the 12 months or perhaps after numerous 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, actually as now we have the year-end land gross sales, we might anticipate extra distributions. However it’s essentially all tied to that as a result of the partnership could be very conservative and made a acutely aware choice on the finish of the 12 months to carry on to more money as they see how this 12 months types out. So I believe we have been – are usually not essentially tied to land gross sales as a lot as we’re tied identical to everybody else, a bit of little bit of readability on how the market is transferring ahead.
Alan Ratner
Obtained it, that is sensible. One other query right here so that you talked about the plan for San Francisco appears like seeking to transfer ahead with Candlestick there. Simply pondering by way of the money circulation, I am assuming when you guys get that plan authorised or we get to maneuver ahead with it, there’s going to be some growth bills that have to happen clearly earlier than you ebook any income. Is that contemplated in any respect in your 2023 expectation for money circulation to have any growth bills there? And if not, what do you anticipate these bills to appear to be as soon as they do start to kick in?
Dan Hedigan
Properly, the primary a part of your query, we aren’t anticipating any of these bills in 2023. And you understand the – what it is going to 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 industrial pad due to Candlesticks relationship to the 101, in the event you bear in mind, it was once an energetic ballpark, individuals may get off 101 and go there.
It is really in comparison with numerous tasks not that extraordinary. It is actual cash. I do not need to mislead you in any respect. However I – to attempt to estimate what that might be proper this second, simply be a bit of bit early, however the first pad could be very accessible from the 101 Freeway.
Alan Ratner
Obtained it, okay. That is useful. After which last query, I believe you mentioned in that money buildup that you simply anticipate 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 of bit? Is that – are these industrial land gross sales, is it condominium gross sales, residential distribution to any extra steerage you may give on that?
Dan Hedigan
Sure, it is a mixture and actually – I will begin on the backside, really we completed. I imply, we predict an interim distribution within the first half of the 12 months based mostly 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 – now we have 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 inform you proper this second. However we’re feeling excellent about that type of basket of alternatives.
Alan Ratner
Good, all proper. Properly, thanks for taking all of my questions right here. I respect the time and greatest luck with the whole lot.
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 as we speak.
Dan Hedigan
Certain. 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 speak a bit of bit extra concerning the administration settlement and what materials adjustments there moreover the financial facet? And may you speak a bit of 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 payment. And in order that half has remained precisely the identical. That is simply rollover precisely as it’s. And we added principally two years and there is been no change to our most well-liked return incomes in reference to that.
In order that it is actually the large – 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 might be clearly very senior of us and now we have spent a 12 months and I’ve spent my 12 months working with them and actually engaged on that relationship they usually really actually just like the administration staff in place as we speak.
And so one of many issues that they’ve type of mentioned is, hey, we actually like how the whole lot is working as we speak and we need to make certain that in the event you Dan or Mike or Stewart aren’t engaged that now we have a chance to talk into that as a result of we have an excellent working relationship as we speak – 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 difficulty for them. They really need continuity due to what we have been capable of obtain the previous 12 months.
Unidentified Analyst
That makes numerous sense. Actually respect all that shade. And may you speak a bit of bit about additional entry to liquidity in the event you guys have a extra extended slowdown and perhaps if charges do not actually transfer and constructing type of freezes up for a bit of bit longer?
Dan Hedigan
Properly, clearly, now we have the $125 million line that has zero drawn on it. As we type of challenge out the market the place we’re going, we do not have the ideas that extra liquidity will probably be wanted. And positively, if the market would not get better we will probably be decreasing prices materially. Proper now, we have capital for income communities later this 12 months and into 2024, there may be some capital, though we’re being very cautious about it that must be spent. If we actually consider there wasn’t a chance to generate income, we might 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 wished to begin by saying this by way of 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 anticipate that you simply guys may construct extra houses by way of a payment construct program. This was a really profitable program whenever you guys did it. And it might emphasize to your visitor builders that there — that you simply guys are working with scarce assets that if they do not prioritize, you’ll.
Dan Hedigan
Robert, assist me on what’s your final remark? I am not fairly adopted. If we do not prioritize they may, what are you pondering there?
Robert Heimowitz
Such as you guys had a payment construct program the place you guys have been capable of acknowledge good income on and so that you guys may go forward and do this once more in case your visitor builders do not buy the land from you.
Dan Hedigan
Okay. All proper. Thanks. I perceive. That is query. It’s actually, I take nothing off the desk. And in my profession, I’ve performed payment builder extensively use it at a distinct life to return out of ’08, ’09. And so it is a mannequin I am extraordinarily conversant in.
We have not seen the necessity proper now based mostly on the conversations we’re having with builders, but it surely’s actually one thing that I am conversant in 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 occasion tax legal responsibility. S&P is together with this debt of their calculations. Are you able to communicate to any potential overhang right here?
Dan Hedigan
I am sorry, I believe are you referring to the TRA, the Tax Receivable Settlement?
Robert Heimowitz
Sure.
Dan Hedigan
Sure. I believe — sure, I am sorry, now we have [indiscernible] can I believe can most likely handle that query by the point, however you need to repeat the query to guarantee that we reply it appropriately?
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 will 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 score companies about that and clarified that the TRA is a projected obligation based mostly on our skill to make use of it. And our expectation as we speak is that these funds would happen after the bonds expire. So it would not have an effect on the gather – and our skill to pay the bonds and I need 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 might 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 enable you to?
Robert Heimowitz
Completely, I simply received another, which is can we speak concerning the phases of completion of the varied residence websites that you simply personal? It looks like numerous 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 utterly completed or what number of have been near being completed, like work in course of, we may type of know the liquidity of the heaps 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 speak about Nice Park. We had D5 South transferring proper alongside final 12 months and as soon as once more being prudent when the gross sales weren’t materializing, we have the black high down and we have all of the moist sand and we [stopped that dry]. So we are able to full these heaps fairly simply. So we’re type of in – we’re type of in place there and it is going to be the subsequent place that we – subsequent group we open in Nice Park and it is in, as you say, it is in excellent form to maneuver ahead – about numerous extra capital however simply to remind everybody all that’s self-funded by way of the partnership. And we have substantial liquidity to do what we have to do on these, however that is really in excellent form.
After which whenever you get to Valencia. Valencia now we have really some websites which might be – I type of name them actually extra of infill websites that have been within the early components 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 the whole lot is stubbed.
