| Financial Performance CONSOLIDATED METRICS FY 2024 marks a strong comeback in financial performance, with Net Income and EPS both achieving notable increases from the previous year. Although FY 2021 remains the peak year due to a different accounting treatment of reimbursables, FY 2024 would likely be record-setting under the updated accounting method. This reflects the company’s robust underlying growth and operational resilience. 9 |

| Sector Performance WATER UTILITIES Pure Cycle’s water utilities gross margin of 54% aligns well with industry averages, reflecting efficient management and revenue generation. While Return on Assets(ROA) is above peers. We are also able to grow up to 60,000 connections, of which only about 5% is currently utilized. This setup allows Pure Cycle to expand at Sky Ranch without needing significant further water system investments, as the capacity for growth is already in place. This forward-planning supports long-term scalability with reduced incremental costs.

| Sector Performance SINGLE FAMILY RENTALS Since PCYO's real estate segment is newer and has less operational history in comparison, its margin performance is particularly impressive. It suggests efficient management of initial costs and potentially lucrative strategies in its real estate approach, even as it scales its operations to compete with these more established SFR companies. As PCYO grows, maintaining or even improving this margin could signal its potential to mature into a competitive force in the sector.

| History & Strategy Pure Cycle Corporation has a strategic history of entering the land development industry, driven by its vision to enhance shareholder value and create integrated communities. Initially focused on water utility services, the company recognized the opportunity to expand its operations in the late 2010s as urban growth and housing demands increased. In 2010, Pure Cycle acquired the land that eventually became Sky Ranch and engaged in partnerships that allowed it to develop residential projects alongside its water utility offerings. This vertical integration enabled the company to provide essential services directly to the communities it was developing Metrics of Completed Phases LAND DEVELOPMENT TOTAL LOT SALES $77m GROSS MARGIN 79% 23 |

| OVERVIEW OF OPERATIONS SINGLE - FAMILY RENTAL Maximizing Land Development Opportunities: By developing single-family homes for rent on these properties, the company can enhance the value of its landholdings and generate consistent income. Recurring Revenue: SFR properties provide a steady, recurring revenue stream. This aligns with Pure Cycle’s strategy to balance its revenue mix Leverage Market Demand: The SFR market has been booming, driven by increased demand for rental housing from families who prefer single-family homes over apartments but may not be ready or able to purchase a home. This demand is especially strong in suburban and near-urban areas, where Pure Cycle has land. Higher Return on Investment: Developing rental properties on their land potentially offers higher returns than simply selling lots or developing for sale. This allows Pure Cycle to capitalize on both land appreciation and rental income. Pure Cycle Corporation entered the single-family rental (SFR) market as a strategic move to diversify and expand its revenue streams. As a company originally focused on water rights and infrastructure development, Pure Cycle realized the potential in the rapidly growing demand for rental properties, particularly single-family homes. 2 1 3 4 27 |
