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 Government Chairman is becoming a member of us remotely.
I am happy to replace you as we speak on the progress of the Firm by means of the fourth quarter and for the complete 12 months of 2022. I can even replace you on our workforce’s focus as we transfer by means of 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 workforce.
It’s notable for the primary time we’re reporting our earnings inside three weeks of the shut of our quarter. We’re answerable for our enterprise. As I wrap up my first 12 months as CEO of 5 Level, I might like to acknowledge the extraordinary efforts of our workforce and to say I am very pleased with them. 2022 was a 12 months of organizational transition, working by means of the impacts ensuing from the Federal Reserve’s aggressive improve in rates of interest. Via all of it, the workforce has remained targeted on our operational priorities.
Turning to our monetary outcomes, consolidated internet earnings 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 autumn 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 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 by means of the top of 2024. This extension displays a powerful worth add that our administration workforce brings to the partnership.
As we begin the New Yr and being nicely conscious that elevated rates of interest have modified the market dynamics, we shall be targeted on three most important priorities: producing income, managing our capital spend and managing SG&A. Execution on these priorities ought to generate internet constructive money movement for 2023 and supply the liquidity to permit us to capitalize on the alternatives that we count on to be accessible 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 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’t be denied is that in our California markets, housing remains to be briefly 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 trying to work with the builders to promote land at costs that mirror the stability between present market situations 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 transferring 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 well-liked asset class.
With over half of land in our preliminary business providing that Nice Park already offered, 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 cases, we now have 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 readily 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 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 diminished 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 offered 113 properties, up from 82 properties in Q3 and for the 12 months offered 326 properties. Solis Park, which had its first mannequin complicated house in July of 2022, at present has 636 properties remaining offered on the unique 849 despite the fact that these numbers are small by historic requirements, based mostly 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 shall be a necessity for the builders once more shopping for land once more in 2023 to place themselves for brand 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, shall be our focus in 2023. We beforehand introduced this group market proper earlier than the Federal Reserve started its aggressive price will increase and after preliminary robust curiosity, new builders paused their land purchases.
We have carried out new conversations with the builders and would anticipate transferring ahead on a number of the websites this 12 months. On prime of the continued residential alternatives at Nice Park, we’re actively engaged in promoting the stability of our preliminary business land providing. Our business parcels supply to the South County market one thing that is not been accessible for years, giant parcels of entitled land of versatile zoning that enables a large number 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 accessible stock. For the 12 months, builders offered a complete of 594 properties with 11 of 18 applications now offered out and at present solely 323 remaining properties accessible 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 extra stock to drive builder gross sales. Whereas we didn’t shut any house websites in 2022, we’re nonetheless participating with the builders like and at present taking a look at alternatives so as to add single household flooring lease and multifamily flooring lease merchandise to our mixture of choices.
Specifically, multifamily is a powerful actual property section that would present housing choices for residents and land revenues for us even throughout this time when this [per sale] residential market is underneath strain.
Lastly, we even have business alternatives in Valencia and we plan to convey — 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 authorised improvement alternatives. As we begin the New Yr, we now have initiated the method to acquire approvable plan that rebalances the present improvement entitlements to facilitate Candlestick transferring 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 shall be a pivotal 12 months for San Francisco as we work by means of these points and set the groundwork for the standalone improvement of Candlestick as the primary part of the bigger combined use group.
In an effort to offer some context to the approaching 12 months, I really feel it might be useful to offer some sense of how we see this subsequent 12 months progressing. Clearly, there stays a lot uncertainty amid these difficult market situations. Due to this fact, my feedback shall be extra basic in nature.
First, I might prefer to reiterate that the constructive 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 following few months, we count on to have the ability to discover mutually helpful methods to construction and value our precious residential land. Right now, we do not really feel it will likely be prudent to offer 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.
Typically for the primary half of 2023, we count on to generate money from all sources of between $80 million and $100 million offset by complete 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 movement for the primary half of the 12 months is predicted to be mildly damaging, we proceed to make constructive progress to a money movement constructive mannequin, which we consider shall 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 your entire business and we’re nicely conscious of the headwinds we’re nonetheless going through. We’re cautiously optimistic concerning the alternatives accessible to us in 2023 and we’re assured in our capability to capitalize on them. With a concentrate on accountability, we’re trying to drive backside line efficiency, create constructive money movement and fortify our stability sheet whereas constructing shareholder worth.
We are going to proceed to observe the affect 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, we now 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 form of the money movement buildup for 2023. I believe that is hopefully useful for folks. I do know it is extra data than you’ve got supplied previously. So recognize that. I assume earlier than we drill into a number of the particulars on that, simply by way of the builder urge for food for land. Clearly, the fourth quarter was a fairly difficult setting and I believe final quarter you had form of signaled possibly you’d get some residential lot gross sales within the quarter and clearly that did not occur. Nevertheless it looks like the information movement is getting a bit bit higher right here during the last handful of weeks. Builder sentiment enhancing, charges persevering with to maneuver decrease, form of the conventional seasonal uptick is beginning to kick in right here forward of the promoting season.
So I am curious if you happen to’ve had any newer conversations with builders because the New Yr? Has there been any indication that the builders wish to possibly dabble again into the land market after form of transferring into the sidelines within the again half of final 12 months or do you are feeling like they’re nonetheless in wait-and-see mode form 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. 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 really remains to be in course of, it is form 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 leap out of those numbers, particularly if you concentrate on Nice Park particularly. 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 offered out by 12 months finish. So all of the builders we’re speaking to are all fascinated about their 2024 having a product accessible in 2024. And as you understand, it is not too early to begin engaged on that. So, lengthy reply to your query, however we now have 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 would just say, the indicators are constructive. I imply, so I’d say the early indicators very constructive. However clearly, we’ll 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 am going to simply ask rapidly, hopefully we are able to verify by means of them. Primary, I might need missed it. Did you give the money stability 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 will we take into consideration the cadence of the distributions form of like the previous few years? I believe it has been extra within the again half of the 12 months or possibly after lots of land sale. So ought to we take into consideration that equally in 2023 when you’ve got 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 now 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 may be very conservative and made a acutely aware resolution on the finish of the 12 months to carry on to extra money as they see how this 12 months kinds out. So I believe we have been – will not be essentially tied to land gross sales as a lot as we’re tied similar to everybody else, a bit little bit of readability on how the market is transferring ahead.
Alan Ratner
Acquired it, that is sensible. One other query right here so that you talked about the plan for San Francisco seems like trying to transfer ahead with Candlestick there. Simply pondering by means of the money movement, I am assuming when you guys get that plan authorised 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 movement to have any improvement bills there? And if not, what do you count on these bills to appear to be as soon as they do start to kick in?
Dan Hedigan
Nicely, the primary a part of your query, we’re not anticipating any of these bills in 2023. And you understand the – what it is going to take to form of kick that off clearly, we’ll have much more readability as we get nearer to that cut-off date, however attending to the primary business pad due to Candlesticks relationship to the 101, if you happen to bear in mind, it was an lively ballpark, folks might get off 101 and go there.
It is really in comparison with lots of initiatives 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 might be proper this second, simply be a bit bit early, however the first pad may be very accessible from the 101 Freeway.
Alan Ratner
Acquired it, okay. That is useful. After which closing query, I believe 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 form of simply break that up a bit bit? Is that – are these business land gross sales, is it condo gross sales, residential distribution to any extra steerage 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 expect 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 present engaged on after which clearly the distributions I simply talked about.
And so inside that basket of alternatives, we see – we now have visibility $80 million to $100 million within the first half of the 12 months form of in that basket and the way it lastly settles out, I can not inform you proper this second. However we’re feeling superb about that form of basket of alternatives.
Alan Ratner
Excellent, all proper. Nicely, thanks for taking all of my questions right here. I recognize the time and greatest luck with all the things.
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 if you happen to might discuss a bit bit extra concerning the administration settlement and what materials modifications there in addition to the financial aspect? And might you discuss a bit bit about why there’s change management added to that? Thanks.
Dan Hedigan
So from the financial aspect of it, it truly is once we did the one 12 months extension final 12 months, we form of modified the economics from a standpoint of form of reimbursement value to form 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 we now have 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 workforce in place as we speak.
And so one of many issues that they’ve form of stated is, hey, we actually like how all the things is working as we speak and we wish to make certain that if you happen to Dan or Mike or Stewart aren’t engaged that we now 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 form of extra round form of that keyman query. And the change in management is – and that is going to additionally – it is also a continuity subject for them. They really need continuity due to what we have been capable of obtain the previous 12 months.
Unidentified Analyst
That makes lots of sense. Actually recognize all that colour. And might you discuss a bit bit about additional entry to liquidity if you happen to guys have a extra extended slowdown and possibly if charges do not actually transfer and constructing form of freezes up for a bit bit longer?
Dan Hedigan
Nicely, clearly, we now have the $125 million line that has zero drawn on it. As we form of mission out the market the place we’re going, we do not have the ideas that extra liquidity shall be wanted. And definitely, if the market would not get well we shall be decreasing prices materially. Proper now, we have 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 chance to generate income, we might cease all of that, which might clearly assist liquidity.
Unidentified Analyst
Superb. 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 means of it, I began my profession in IR at Lennar and I discovered 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 would possibly construct extra properties by means of a payment construct program. This was a really profitable program once you guys did it. And it might emphasize to your visitor builders that there — that you simply guys are working with scarce sources 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 are going to, 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 earnings on and so that you guys might 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 a superb query. It’s definitely, I take nothing off the desk. And in my profession, I’ve carried out payment builder extensively use it at a distinct life to come back out of ’08, ’09. And so it is a mannequin I am extraordinarily accustomed to.
We have not seen the necessity proper now based mostly on the conversations we’re having with builders, but it surely’s definitely one thing that I am accustomed to and it is one thing that we might positively 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 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, we now have [indiscernible] can I believe can most likely tackle that query by the point, however you wish to repeat the query to be sure 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 if you happen to’ll acknowledge the tax financial savings and you may nonetheless have a legal responsibility related to it. So similar to how ought to we take into consideration this.
Leo Kij
Sure Robert, we have really had conversations with the score businesses about that and clarified that the TRA is a projected obligation based mostly on our capability 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 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 might have in any other case paid, however due to the best way the calculation is made, we’ve not but benefited. So simply if that – did that assist you?
Robert Heimowitz
Completely, I simply acquired another, which is can we discuss concerning the levels of completion of the varied house websites that you simply personal? It looks like lots of them have been slated to shut this 12 months, they need to all be near completion or able to be offered. 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 might form of know the liquidity of the heaps whether or not they might 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 prime 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 form of in – we’re form of in a superb place there and it will likely be the following 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 lots of extra capital however simply to remind everybody all that’s self-funded by means of the partnership. And we have substantial liquidity to do what we have to do on these, however that is really in superb form.
After which once you get to Valencia. Valencia we now have really some websites which might be – I form of name them actually extra of infill websites that have been within the early components of the Mission Village, which is what we form of name the primary space there. They’re really able to go. They’re [mass grading] all of them constructions in them and all the things is stubbed.
