Management Commentary

  • “We delivered another strong quarter, generating consolidated net income of $55.7 million and ending the quarter with total liquidity of $476.1 million.” — Dan Hedigan, CEO .
  • “With the rate improvement and reduced principal, we are saving over $20 million a year in cash flow.” — Kim Tobler, CFO .
  • “Hearthstone’s current portfolio spans 16 states and approximately 33 market areas, geographically diversifying the investment base of Hearthstone’s lot option program.” — Mike Alvarado, COO .
  • “We continue to expect full-year 2025 consolidated net income to be in line with our 2024 results.” — Dan Hedigan, CEO .
  • “Dividends and stock buybacks are now permitted subject to covenant limitations.” — Kim Tobler, CFO .

Q&A Highlights

  • Hearthstone economics and stability: Management emphasized disciplined underwriting; near-term segment profitability around ~$1M for two months post-close, with growth expected into 2026 as AUM scales .
  • Valencia timing: Management does not expect additional residential lot sales in Valencia in 2025; timeline pushed to 2026 to optimize pricing and match demand .
  • Book value per share: Initial response suggested $8–$10; clarified to ~$15.5 using diluted shares and total capital of ~$2.28B — highlighting complexity of share classes and NCI; discussion underscored investor focus on valuation vs. book .
  • Temporary equity on balance sheet: Increase tied to Hearthstone’s retained interests and put/call features; expected to amortize over time .
  • Capital returns policy: Post-refi, dividends/buybacks now permitted (subject to covenants), addressing prior investor questions about capital deployment flexibility .

Estimates Context

  • S&P Global consensus for Q3 2025 EPS and Revenue was unavailable; as a result, formal beat/miss vs Street cannot be assessed. Actual Q3 2025 revenue recognized was $13.488M (S&P Global recorded actual) [GetEstimates].
  • Given the absence of consensus, estimate revisions are likely to track the guidance shift from “close to $200M” to “in line with 2024” (~$176.3M) and the deferral of Valencia residential lot sales to 2026 .
