FORESTAR GROUP INC. REPORTS
FIRST QUARTER 2014 RESULTS
AUSTIN, TEXAS, May 6, 2014—Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR) today reported first quarter 2014 net income of approximately $8.3 million, or $0.19 per diluted share outstanding, compared with first quarter 2013 net income of approximately $4.0 million, or $0.11 per diluted share outstanding.
“During first quarter, record residential lot sales activity was fueled by growing builder demand for lots in high quality locations. We also increased lot development activities in existing communities in response to higher demand, with the majority of lots being developed already under contract with homebuilders. Multifamily market conditions remained strong in our target markets, and we continue to grow our multifamily business, finishing the quarter with four projects under construction and adding two new sites to our development pipeline. We continued to strengthen our real estate portfolio through the acquisition of our partner's interest in Lantana, an award-winning community near Dallas. Oil and gas activity continued to be negatively impacted by severe weather conditions in North Dakota, however, production in the Bakken and Three Forks formations in North Dakota and the Lansing-Kansas City formation in Kansas and Nebraska is expected to accelerate going forward. We are focused on executing and delivering our Growing FORward strategic initiatives to grow through strategic and disciplined investment and increase returns,” said Jim DeCosmo, president and chief executive officer of Forestar Group.
First Quarter 2014 Significant Highlights
• | Sold 974 developed residential lots, including 367 bulk lot sales, up over 118% compared with first quarter 2013, with 831 acres of residential tract sales |
• | Oil production up over 16% compared with first quarter 2013, with 21 new gross wells drilled reaching total depth in first quarter 2014 |
Forestar manages its operations through three business segments: real estate, oil and gas and other natural resources.
REAL ESTATE
First Quarter 2014 Significant Highlights (Includes Ventures)
• | Sold 9,329 acres of undeveloped land for over $2,100 per acre |
• | Sold 974 developed residential lots, including 367 bulk lot sales from two non-core communities; over 1,400 lots under option contracts with homebuilders |
• | Sold 831 acres of residential tracts for over $1,800 per acre |

Segment Financial Results:
($ in millions) | 1Q 2014 | 1Q 2013 | 4Q 2013 | |||
Segment Revenues | $65.5 | $78.7 | $77.7 | |||
Segment Earnings | $23.6 | $19.4 | $27.7 | |||
First quarter 2014 real estate segment earnings were higher compared with first quarter 2013 principally due to increased undeveloped land sales and higher residential lot sales. In first quarter 2014, undeveloped land sales increased compared with first quarter 2013 principally due to a sale of over 8,400 acres for approximately $1,850 per acre, generating segment earnings of approximately $13.2 million. Residential lot and tract sales included two bulk transactions totaling 367 lots and 831 acres of residential tracts associated with two non-core communities in Georgia. Excluding these bulk transactions, average lot prices and margins were up 7% compared with first quarter 2013. First quarter 2014 real estate segment results also included $2.3 million in charges associated with additional costs at two multifamily venture projects. In addition, first quarter 2013 real estate segment earnings included $10.9 million associated with the sale of Promesa, a multifamily community in Austin. Real estate segment earnings decreased in first quarter 2014 compared with fourth quarter 2013 primarily due to lower residential and commercial tract sales.
OIL AND GAS
First Quarter 2014 Significant Highlights (Includes Ventures)
• | Oil production up over 16% compared with first quarter 2013, principally due to working interest investments primarily targeting the Bakken/Three Forks and the Lansing-Kansas City formations |
• | 21 new gross oil and gas wells drilled and reaching total depth; 18 Bakken gross wells waiting on completion at quarter-end |
• | Leased over 1,700 net mineral acres principally in Texas to third parties |
Segment Financial Results:
($ in millions) | 1Q 2014 | 1Q 2013 | 4Q 2013 | |||
Segment Revenues | $17.6 | $15.5 | $18.9 | |||
Segment Earnings | $0.8 | $5.1 | $1.0 | |||
Oil and gas segment earnings decreased in first quarter 2014 compared with first quarter 2013 principally due to higher exploration, production and operating expenses, and lower production volumes and delay rental revenues from our owned mineral interests, which were partially offset by higher working interest production volumes. Oil and gas segment earnings decreased in first quarter 2014 compared with fourth quarter 2013 principally due to lower royalty revenues related to our owned mineral interests.
OTHER NATURAL RESOURCES
First Quarter 2014 Significant Highlights (Includes Ventures)
• | Sold over 57,100 tons of fiber for $15.77 per ton |
• | Recreational leasing remains strong |
Segment Financial Results:
($ in millions) | 1Q 2014 | 1Q 2013 | 4Q 2013 | |||
Segment Revenues | $1.6 | $3.3 | $1.8 | |||
Segment Earnings | ($0.5) | $1.3 | $3.7 | |||
2
First quarter 2014 other natural resources segment earnings decreased compared with first quarter 2013 principally due to lower fiber sales volumes. Fourth quarter 2013 other natural resources segment earnings include a $3.8 million gain associated with the termination of a timber lease in connection with the sale of over 2,400 acres from the Ironstob venture near Atlanta.
OUTLOOK
"Demand for residential lots remains robust in our core markets and we continue to invest in lot development in our existing communities to meet builder demand. We anticipate residential lot sales in 2014 to be approximately 2,300 lots, up over 20% compared with 2013. In first quarter 2014, we added interest in approximately 1,100 potential future lots to our community development pipeline through acquisitions. Our multifamily team continues to build a solid pipeline of multifamily development sites, with our multifamily venture project in Austin essentially complete, over 50% leased and on target for sale in 2014. Our multifamily venture project in Denver is almost 60% complete and currently pre-leasing, and our wholly-owned multifamily project near Dallas is almost 30% complete and on schedule to begin leasing in fourth quarter 2014. In first quarter 2014, we formed a venture for the development of our multifamily site in Nashville, which is now under construction, and we plan to begin construction on sites in Littleton, Colorado and Charlotte, North Carolina over the next two quarters. In 2014 we have acquired two multifamily sites in Austin, with construction anticipated to begin on both projects in 2015. We will continue to evaluate and acquire additional residential and multifamily sites to further develop our real estate pipeline.
“In oil and gas, we continue to invest in exploration and drilling activity, growing production, reserves and value. We estimate 2014 oil and gas production will exceed 1.3 million BOE (barrel of oil equivalent), an over 25% increase compared with 2013 levels. During first quarter, we continued to see drilling activity negatively impacted by severe weather conditions in North Dakota, with only three gross Bakken/Three Forks wells that reached total depth at year-end 2013 (3% average working interest) having initial production during the quarter with approximately18 gross Bakken/Three Forks wells (8% average working interest) waiting on completion at quarter end. We anticipate drilling activity in the Bakken/Three Forks will accelerate over the next several quarters as weather conditions improve and operators further shift to pad drilling, which is expected to result in additional production growth. In addition, exploration and drilling activity in Kansas and Nebraska continued to increase during first quarter, with combined exploration success rates of approximately 40%. We acquired additional leasehold acreage in the Lansing-Kansas City formation in the first four months of 2014, bringing our total leasehold position in Kansas and Nebraska to over 255,000 net mineral acres, further developing a solid pipeline of drilling prospects in the Central Uplift formation. As a result of the slower start to exploration and drilling activity in 2014, we would expect our oil and gas capital investments to be in the range of $125-135 million for 2014, compared with our original estimate of approximately $200 million.
“We continue to see significant opportunities for growth through disciplined investments in our real estate and oil and gas businesses. We are focused on increasing return on assets, strengthening our portfolio and executing our Growing FORward strategic initiatives,” concluded Mr. DeCosmo.
