Pure Cycle Corporation Announces Dates for Year Ended August 31, 2022 Earnings Release and Selected Financial Information

DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September 26, 2022 / Pure Cycle Corporation (NASDAQ:PCYO) will release its year ended August 31, 2022 financial results on Monday, November 14, 2022, and hold a conference call the following day to discuss the results.

Fiscal 2022 will be another record year for Pure Cycle's land, water, and home rental segments. Pure Cycle accomplished several significant milestones that we are proud to share prior to our full financial statement issuance in November. The fiscal 2022 items Pure Cycle is highlighting include:

• Successful delivery of 219 lots in our Phase 2A at Sky Ranch to our four homebuilder partners, which resulted in proceeds from lot sales totaling $13.7 million received in fiscal 2022 (combined with the first milestone payment in fiscal 2021 of $3.9 million, we have $0.8 million remaining to be collected on Phase 2A lots).
• Pure Cycle sold 159 water and 154 wastewater taps, generating $4.9 million of proceeds.
• The Sky Ranch CAB closed on its second municipal bond and repaid $23.6 million of public improvement reimbursables and interest, exceeding the $16.0 million we reflected as a current receivable.
• Pure Cycle expanded its single-family home rental units with an additional 11 homes beginning construction (10 of them in Phase 2A), which we believe will deliver in 2023.
• Pure Cycle received record proceeds from oil & gas operators totaling more than $3.0 million.
• With the proceeds detailed above, we closed fiscal 2022 with near record levels of liquidity with cash and cash equivalents exceeding $34.0 million.

"We are excited to complete another historic year for Pure Cycle, with just a few milestones described above, and look forward to our full earnings release in November," commented Mr. Mark Harding, CEO of Pure Cycle.

Pure Cycle's fiscal year ended August 31, 2022 financial statement audit is currently underway, which as recently announced, will be the final audit with Plante & Moran. Plante & Moran has been Pure Cycle's auditor for five years following their merger with EKS&H. As a result of partner rotations, changing market conditions, staffing, and timing of our audit, we mutually agreed to transition audit services away from Plante & Moran to our new auditor, FORVIS, LLP for fiscal year 2023. "We were satisfied with the services we received from EKS&H and Plante & Moran and look forward to a beneficial and seamless transition to our new auditor, FORVIS," commented Kevin McNeill, CFO of Pure Cycle. FORVIS is the combination of North Carolina based Dixon Hughes Goodman, LLP and Missouri based BKD CPAs & Advisors. Pure Cycle's relationship with FORVIS was culminated through the Denver office of BKD and Pure Cycle is encouraged by FORVIS's industry experience and depth of personnel, not only in Denver, but nationwide.

Additional financial results will be disclosed in an earnings release expected to be issued on Monday, November 14, 2022. Additionally, we will host a conference call on Tuesday, November 15, 2022, at 8:30AM Eastern (6:30AM Mountain) to discuss the financial results and answer questions. Call details are presented below. We will post a detailed slide presentation, which will provide an overview of Pure Cycle and present summary financial results, on our website at www.purecyclewater.com.
