AUSTIN, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Forestar Group Inc. FOR today reported third quarter 2014 net income of approximately $5.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share outstanding, compared with third quarter 2013 net income of approximately $11.8 million, or $0.33 per diluted share outstanding. Third quarter 2013 results include a previously unrecognized tax benefit of approximately $6.3 million, or $0.17 per share, related to qualified timber gains.

Subsequent Events

  • $46.5 MILLION RECEIVED FROM CIBOLO CANYONS SPECIAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
  • PLANS TO REPURCHASE UP TO $55 MILLION IN STOCK UNDER EXISTING SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

“On October 24, 2014 we received $46.5 million from the Cibolo Canyons Special Improvement District (CCSID). The proceeds from CCSID were associated with a $48.9 million Hotel Occupancy and Sales and Use Tax Revenue Bond issued by CCSID on October 24, 2014. Proceeds received from the CCSID, along with available liquidity, are expected to be used to repurchase up to $55 million in common stock, which today, represents almost 10% of the company's current market capitalization. The successful revenue bond issuance by CCSID is a reflection of the tremendous value that has been realized through the vision and execution of our Cibolo Canyons mixed-use development including the award-winning JW Marriott San Antonio Hill Country Resort and Spa. Following these share repurchases, we expect to have adequate liquidity to fund and deliver our Growing FORward strategic initiatives, focused on increasing total segment earnings, return on assets and opportunistically selling non-core assets,” said Jim DeCosmo, president and chief executive officer of Forestar Group.

Third Quarter 2014 Significant Highlights

  • Sold 323 developed residential lots, with average lot prices and profit per lot up over 30% compared with third quarter 2013
  • Acquired our partner's 75% interest in the Eleven multifamily venture in Austin for $21.5 million, resulting in a $7.6 million gain, reflecting the fair market value of the project on the date of acquisition
  • Increased working interest oil production over 55% compared with third quarter 2013
  • Added nine new Bakken/Three Forks gross wells with strong initial production, including one 19% working interest well with initial production of 4,128 barrels of oil equivalent per day, the highest production rate of any Bakken/Three Forks well we have participated in to date

Forestar manages its operations through three business segments: real estate, oil and gas and other natural resources.

REAL ESTATE

Third Quarter 2014 Significant Highlights (Includes Ventures)

  • Sold 323 developed residential lots; highest quarterly average lot price and profit per lot since becoming stand-alone public company
  • Acquired our partner's 75% interest in the Eleven multifamily venture in Austin for $21.5 million, resulting in a $7.6 million gain, reflecting the fair market value of the project on the date of acquisition
  • Sold four commercial acres for $589,200 per acre
  • Sold over 635 acres of undeveloped land for nearly $3,200 per acre
           

Segment Financial Results:

 
($ in millions) 3Q 2014 3Q 2013 2Q 2014
Segment Revenues $ 32.4 $ 50.4 $ 55.2
Segment Earnings $ 16.0 $ 13.2 $ 27.3
 

Real estate segment earnings were up in third quarter 2014 compared with third quarter 2013 principally due to a $7.6 million gain associated with the acquisition of our partner's interest in the Eleven multifamily venture, which more than offset lower residential lot and undeveloped land sales. In third quarter 2014, average lot prices were over $73,650 per lot and average gross profit was almost $34,900 per lot, the highest average quarterly lot prices and margins reported, reflecting stable homebuilder demand in our markets. Real estate segment earnings decreased in third quarter 2014 compared with second quarter 2014 primarily due to a $10.5 million gain associated with the exchange of timber leases for undeveloped land from Ironstob venture and higher residential lot, tract and undeveloped land sales in second quarter 2014.

OIL AND GAS

Third Quarter 2014 Significant Highlights (Includes Ventures)

  • Increased oil production by nearly 39% compared with third quarter 2013, principally due to working interest investments in the Bakken/Three Forks and the Lansing-Kansas City formations
  • Generated gains of $3.3 million principally associated with the sale of leasehold interests in 348 net mineral acres in North Dakota and acquired 558 net mineral acres of leasehold interests in Bakken/Three Forks
  • Added nine Bakken/Three Forks gross wells; 23 Bakken/Three Forks gross wells waiting on completion at quarter-end
           

Segment Financial Results:

 
($ in millions) 3Q 2014 3Q 2013 2Q 2014
Segment Revenues $ 24.1 $ 22.1 $ 24.4
Segment Earnings $ 6.0 $ 8.5 $ 9.5
 

Oil and gas segment earnings decreased in third quarter 2014 compared with third quarter 2013 and second quarter 2014 principally due to higher exploration costs associated with our working interest investments, lower oil prices, and lower production volumes related to our owned mineral interests, which were partially offset by $3.3 million in gains principally associated with the sale of 348 net acres of leasehold interest in the Bakken/Three Forks, and increased working interest oil production. Third quarter 2014 exploration costs include a $2.3 million dry hole charge associated with an exploratory well in Oklahoma. Second quarter 2014 oil and gas segment earnings include $5.7 million in gains associated with the sale of various oil and gas properties in Oklahoma and North Dakota.

OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES

Third Quarter 2014 Significant Highlights (Includes Ventures)

  • Sold nearly 93,000 tons of fiber for $13.52 per ton
  • Generated $0.2 million in earnings related to previously announced groundwater reservation agreement
  • Sold water rights related to real estate project in Colorado, generating gain of almost $0.2 million
           

Segment Financial Results:

 
($ in millions) 3Q 2014 3Q 2013 2Q 2014
Segment Revenues $ 2.3 $ 2.7 $ 3.5
Segment Earnings $ 0.7 $ 0.5 $ 2.1
 

Third quarter 2014 other natural resources segment results increased compared with third quarter 2013 principally due to $0.2 million in earnings associated with a groundwater reservation agreement and a $0.2 million gain associated with the sale of water rights related to a real estate project in Colorado.

OUTLOOK

Real Estate Markets Remain Stable

“We are well positioned to capitalize on the housing recovery through residential lot sales and commercial and residential tract sales. We anticipate residential lot sales in 2014 to be in the range of 2,200 - 2,300 lots from a pipeline of 38 well-located communities. In 2015, we expect 40 communities to generate sales to meet homebuilder demand. Our multifamily team continues to acquire and develop high-quality multifamily communities, with four multifamily projects currently under construction at end of third quarter and four future development sites in our pipeline. During third quarter we opportunistically acquired our partner's 75% ownership in the Eleven venture, resulting in an attractive investment basis within a strong multifamily submarket in downtown Austin which has benefited from solid rent growth and high occupancy levels. Going forward, our 100% ownership of the Eleven multifamily community is expected to provide Forestar with multiple options to continue to realize the value we have created with this project. We plan to continue to evaluate and acquire additional well-located residential and multifamily sites going forward.

Production and Well Performance Increasing; Exploring Position in Prospective Resource Play

“We continue to invest in exploration and drilling, growing production, reserves and value. Drilling and completion activity continued in third quarter, with nine gross Bakken/Three Forks wells (10% average working interest) generating initial production and approximately 10 - 15 gross Bakken/Three Forks wells anticipated to begin production in fourth quarter 2014. Well performance in the Bakken/Three Forks in 2014 continues to improve and outperform underwriting expectations. Working interest production is expected to increase over 40% in 2014 compared with 2013, resulting in approximately 1.2 million BOE of total production in 2014, up 15% compared with 2013. However, lower oil pricing is expected to reduce fourth quarter 2014 segment earnings. In addition to our working interest investment opportunities in the Bakken/Three Forks and Lansing-Kansas City formations, we have secured leasehold positions in 24,000 net mineral acres in a prospective resource play in Oklahoma and commenced exploratory drilling.

Focused on Delivering Growing FORward Initiatives

“We remain focused on executing our Growing FORward strategic initiatives through disciplined investments in our real estate and oil and gas businesses. Stronger than expected cash flows and available liquidity, combined with $46.5 million in cash proceeds from the Cibolo Canyons Special Improvement District, are expected to be used to repurchase up to $55 million in common stock, which today, represents almost 10% of the company's current market capitalization. Repurchases will be made under the company's existing share repurchase program and will be accomplished from time to time through open market or privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions, legal requirements and other factors. Following these share repurchases, we anticipate maintaining sufficient available liquidity which is expected to adequately fund our Growing FORward strategic initiatives, which are focused on increasing total segment earnings, return on assets and opportunistically selling non-core assets,” concluded Mr. DeCosmo.
