FORESTAR GROUP INC. REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2012 RESULTS
Accelerating Value Realization By Increasing Oil Production and Growing Net Asset Value By Capitalizing on Strategic Growth Opportunities
“During first quarter, oil and natural gas revenues continued to gain momentum, driven primarily by increased oil production in the Upper Wilcox formation located in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana. Residential lot sales activity continued to reflect year-over-year improvement due to low finished lot inventories and relatively stable demand in the major markets of Texas. We also closed the previously announced sale of our interest in the Palisades West commercial venture in Austin, Texas for $32 million. In addition, we completed the previously announced acquisition of the entire interest in 17 projects from the CL Realty and TEMCO ventures with Cousins Properties. These results are consistent with our Triple in FOR strategic initiatives to accelerate value realization and grow net asset value through strategic and disciplined investments,” said Jim DeCosmo, president and chief executive officer of Forestar Group.
First Quarter Significant Highlights
Minerals — Oil & Gas
· Oil production up over 115% compared with first quarter 2011 and up almost 40% from fourth quarter 2011
· Four new oil and gas wells completed; 534 active wells producing oil and natural gas operated by exploration and production lessees at quarter-end
Real Estate
· Sold 285 finished residential lots, a 33% increase compared with first quarter 2011 — Almost 1,200 lots under option contracts
· Sold seven acres of impervious cover development rights in Texas for over $1 million, resulting in over $900,000 in segment earnings; leaving about 90 acres available for sale
Strategic Initiatives
· Closed the previously announced sale of our 25% interest in Palisades West for $32.0 million, generating a gain on sale of $11.7 million.
· Completed the previously announced acquisition of the entire interest in 17 real estate assets from the CL Realty and TEMCO ventures, two ongoing ventures with Cousins Properties, for a net investment of approximately $23.5 million.
AUSTIN, TEXAS, May 10, 2012—Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR) today reported first quarter 2012 net income of approximately $2.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share, compared with a first quarter 2011 net loss of ($2.5) million, or ($0.07) per share outstanding.
Forestar manages its operations through three business segments: Mineral Resources, Real Estate and Fiber Resources.
MINERAL RESOURCES
· Oil production up over 115% compared with first quarter 2011 and up almost 40% compared with fourth quarter 2011
· Four new wells completed by exploration and production lessees, 534 producing wells at quarter-end, up 38 compared with first quarter 2011
· Leased over 800 net mineral acres in Texas and received $1.1 million in delay rental payments
· Invested $1.8 million in non-operating working interest in a new well in Louisiana
Segment Financial Results:
($ in millions) | | 1Q 2012 | | 1Q 2011 | | 4Q 2011 | |
| | | | | | | |
Segment Revenues | | $ | 9.4 | | $ | 7.3 | | $ | 6.8 | |
| | | | | | | |
Segment Earnings | | $ | 5.9 | | $ | 5.6 | | $ | 3.7 | |
Mineral resources segment earnings increased in first quarter 2012 compared with first quarter 2011 principally due to increased oil production and higher oil prices, which were partially offset by decreased lease bonus revenues and incremental personnel costs. Mineral resources segment earnings increased in first quarter 2012 compared with fourth quarter 2011 primarily due to increased oil production.
REAL ESTATE
· Sold 285 finished residential lots, a 33% increase compared with first quarter 2011
· Almost 1,200 lots under option contracts
· Sold 455 acres of undeveloped land for nearly $2,400 per acre
· Sold seven acres of impervious cover development rights in Texas for over $1 million, resulting in over $900,000 in segment earnings; leaving about 90 acres available for sale
Segment Financial Results:
($ in millions) | | 1Q 2012 | | 1Q 2011 | | 4Q 2011 | |
| | | | | | | |
Segment Revenues | | $ | 17.9 | | $ | 21.1 | | $ | 46.4 | |
| | | | | | | |
Segment Earnings (Loss) | | $ | 11.5 | | $ | 2.6 | | $ | (25.0 | ) |
First quarter 2012 real estate segment earnings were higher compared with first quarter 2011 principally due to an $11.7 million gain associated with the sale of our 25% interest in Palisades West and higher residential lot sales. Fourth quarter 2011 real estate segment earnings include non-cash asset impairment charges of $44.5 million principally related to entering into agreements to acquire certain assets from the CL Realty and TEMCO ventures, which closed in first quarter 2012.
2
FIBER RESOURCES
· Sold 28,800 tons of fiber
· Recreational leasing activity remains strong, almost 99% of available land leased
Segment Financial Results:
($ in millions) | | 1Q 2012 | | 1Q 2011 | | 4Q 2011 | |
| | | | | | | |
Segment Revenues | | $ | 0.7 | | $ | 1.4 | | $ | 0.9 | |
| | | | | | | |
Segment Earnings | | $ | 0.4 | | $ | 0.6 | | $ | 0.1 | |
First quarter 2012 fiber resources segment earnings declined compared with first quarter 2011 principally due to reduced harvest volumes associated with the sale of over 74,000 acres of timberland since first quarter 2011. Recreational leasing activity remained strong during first quarter, with almost 99% of available land leased for recreation.
OUTLOOK
“We continue to generate momentum through our oil and gas initiatives to increase exploration, production and reserves. Higher oil prices have increased exploration and production in Louisiana. In addition, our working interests in three oil wells in Beauregard Parish, Louisiana continue to provide incremental value realization. Going forward, we expect to participate in additional non-operating working interest investments, which provide Forestar with an additional low-cost, low-risk opportunity to realize the greatest value from every acre by securing a greater interest in oil and gas production.
“Natural gas prices remained under pressure during first quarter, principally due to mild temperatures and record inventory levels, resulting in lower demand for mineral leases in East Texas. Longer-term, we are more positive on the outlook for natural gas given the abundance of domestic supplies which reduces the potential impact from geopolitical risk. In addition, natural gas value is currently 80% less than crude oil on an energy equivalent basis.
“We continue to see improving housing fundamentals in Texas, due to a continued reduction in finished residential lot inventories and relatively stable market demand. In addition, we remain confident that underlying fundamental demand for single and multifamily housing will improve as markets generate positive job growth. In April 2012, we delivered the first units at our Promesa multifamily community in Austin, Texas, an important milestone in the execution of our multifamily initiatives.
“We are focused on recognizing and responsibly generating the greatest value from every acre and achieving our Triple in FOR strategic initiatives, reflecting our commitment to accelerate value realization, further strengthen our balance sheet, and increase financial flexibility. Since year-end 2011, we completed the sale of our interest in Palisades West for $32 million, generating a gain of $11.7 million. In April, Forestar/RPG Land Company LLC, a consolidated venture, sold approximately 800 acres near Dallas, Texas (Light Farms real estate project) for $56 million in total consideration, resulting in a gain of approximately $3.4 million. As a result of these two transactions, Forestar received $57 million in cash proceeds and reduced consolidated debt by $31 million, which positions us to take advantage of strategic growth and investment opportunities,” concluded Mr. DeCosmo.
