Land Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we acquired land for an aggregate purchase price of $110.2 million. The acquisitions included land in Shackelford and Jones Counties, Texas, in connection with our data center and power generation initiatives. Additionally, we acquired land in Winkler County, Texas. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, we acquired land for an aggregate purchase price of $4.5 million.

Land Sales

During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we entered into an agreement with Chevron U.S.A. Inc., a subsidiary of Chevron Corporation (NYSE: CVX) (“Chevron”) to provide land and brackish water resources for Chevron’s recently announced development known as Project Kilby, involving a large-scale power generation facility Chevron is developing to support a customer data center in Reeves County, Texas. As part of the agreement, we sold land for aggregate consideration of $42.5 million and acquired the exclusive right to source aquifer-derived water for the power generation facility and other associated aspects of the project. The consideration consisted of a nominal cash payment received at closing and annual payments due to us through 2046.

This agreement also provides for a put option held by the developer and a call option held by us regarding our repurchase of the land if certain development milestones are not achieved.

We recognized land sales revenue of $20.9 million at closing and recorded a financing receivable for the deferred consideration. The financing receivable was recorded at its present value of $20.9 million, which represents the contractual payments of $42.4 million discounted at an effective interest rate of 7.5%.

As of June 30, 2026, the carrying value of the financing receivable was $21.4 million, of which $1.0 million is included in current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Interest income recognized on the financing receivable was $0.4 million and $0.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively.
There were no land sales for the six months ended June 30, 2025.
