1In determining the classification of cash inflows and outflows related to water asset activity, the Company’s practices are supported by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230-10-45-22, which provides that “Certain cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows…. If so, the appropriate classification shall depend on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source of cash flows for the item.” Also, at the 2006 American Institution of Certified Public Accountants Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC staff discussed that an entity should be consistent in how it classifies cash outflows and inflows related to an asset’s purchase and sale and noted that when cash flow classification is unclear, registrants must use judgment and analysis that considers the nature of the activity and the predominant source of cash flow for these items. Given the nature of our water assets and the aforementioned authoritative guidance, the Company estimates the appropriate classification of water assets purchased based on the timing of the sale of the water. Water purchased in prior periods that was classified as investing was sold for $1.3 million in 2023, this cash inflow is appropriately classified in the Company’s investing activities. The profit of $0.5 million related to the water purchased in prior periods is appropriately being deducted from operating activities for the current period. The Company has and will continue to apply this methodology to water asset transactions that meet this fact pattern.
2In determining the classification of cash inflows and outflows related to land development costs, the Company’s practices are supported by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230-10-45-22, which provides that “Certain cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows…. If so, the appropriate classification shall depend on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source of cash flows for the item.” Also, at the 2006 American Institution of Certified Public Accountants Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC staff discussed that an entity should be consistent in how it classifies cash outflows and inflows related to an asset’s purchase and sale and noted that when cash flow classification is unclear, registrants must use judgment and analysis that considers the nature of the activity and the predominant source of cash flow for these items. Given the nature of our land development costs and the aforementioned authoritative guidance, the Company estimates the appropriate classification of land development costs based on the timing of the sale of land. Land development costs incurred during prior periods that were classified as investing were sold for $4.7 million in gross proceeds in 2022, this cash inflow is appropriately classified in the Company’s investing activities. The profit of $3.6 million related to land development costs incurred in prior periods is appropriately being deducted from operating activities for the first quarter of 2022. The Company has and will continue to apply this methodology to land sale transactions that meet this fact pattern.

TEJON RANCH CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The summarized information of Tejon Ranch Co. and its subsidiaries (the Company or Tejon), provided pursuant to Part I, Item 1 of Form 10-Q is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of its consolidated financial statements.

The periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 include the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC’s statement of operations within the resort/residential real estate development segment, statements of changes in equity and noncontrolling interests, and statements of cash flows. The Company’s March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 balance sheets are presented on a consolidated basis, including the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC.

The Company has identified five reportable segments: commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, mineral resources, farming, and ranch operations. Information for the Company’s reportable segments are presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company uses segment profit or loss and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures as the primary measures of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources.

The results of the period reported herein are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s agricultural activities, water activities, timing of real estate sales and leasing activities. Historically, the Company’s largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

For further information and a summary of significant accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Financial Instruments

Certain financial instruments are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at cost or amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value due to their short-term and highly liquid nature.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, security deposits held for customers, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities. The fair value of the notes payable also approximates their carrying value as the interest rates are primarily variable and approximate prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily relate to funds held in escrow. The Company had $500,000 of restricted cash as of March 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

No new Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, is applicable to our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023.

2.    EQUITY

Earnings Per Share (EPS)

Basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the year. Diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is based upon the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding assuming the issuance of common stock upon exercise of stock options, warrants to purchase common stock, and the vesting of restricted stock grants per ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share.”

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2023	2022
Weighted-average number of shares outstanding:
Common stock	26,647,565	26,431,989
Common stock equivalents	1,783	47,507
Diluted shares outstanding	26,649,348	26,479,496

3.     MARKETABLE SECURITIES

ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities,” requires that an enterprise classify all debt securities as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. The Company classifies its securities as available-for-sale and therefore is required to adjust securities to fair value at each reporting date. All costs and both realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at:

($ in thousands)		March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
Marketable Securities:	Fair Value Hierarchy	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value
U.S. Treasury and agency notes
with unrealized losses for less than 12 months		$	17,533	$	17,472	$	13,916	$	13,832

Corporate notes
with unrealized losses for less than 12 months		9,984		9,935		17,236		17,112
with unrealized losses for more than 12 months		2,801		2,788		251		250
with unrealized gains		499		500		499		500
Total Corporate notes	Level 2	13,284		13,223		17,986		17,862
		$	35,425	$	35,321	$	33,652	$	33,444

ASC Topic 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," requires the Company to use an allowance approach when recognizing credit loss for available-for-sale debt securities, measured as the difference between the security's amortized cost basis and the amount expected to be collected over the security's lifetime. Under this approach, at each reporting date, the Company records impairment related to credit losses through earnings offset with an allowance for credit losses, or ACL. At March 31, 2023, the Company has not recorded any credit losses.

As of March 31, 2023, the fair market value of marketable securities was $104,000 below their cost basis. The Company’s gross unrealized holding gains equaled $19,000 and gross unrealized holding losses equaled $123,000. As of March 31, 2023, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a decline in market value of $104,000, including estimated taxes of $29,000.

The Company elected to exclude applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities, and separately present the accrued interest receivable balance per ASC Topic 326. The accrued interest receivables balance totaled $223,000 as of March 31, 2023 and was included within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets line item of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as an allowance on possible uncollectible accrued interest is not warranted.

U.S. Treasury and agency notes

The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in U.S. Treasury and agency notes at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were caused by relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase. The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. The unrealized losses on these debt security holdings are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Corporate notes

The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The unrealized losses on corporate notes are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

5.     LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS

Long-term water assets consist of water and water contracts held for future use or sale. The water is held at cost, which includes the price paid for the water and the cost to pump and deliver the water from the California aqueduct into the water bank. Water is currently held in a water bank on Company land in southern Kern County and by the Tejon-Castac Water District (TCWD) in the Kern Water Banks.

The Company has secured State Water Project, or SWP, entitlements under long-term SWP water contracts within the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, or Tulare Lake Basin, and the Dudley-Ridge Water District, or Dudley-Ridge, totaling 3,444 acre-feet of SWP entitlement annually, subject to SWP allocations. These contracts extend through 2035 and have been transferred to the Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency, or AVEK, for the Company's use in the Antelope Valley. In 2013, the Company acquired a contract to purchase water that obligates the Company to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water each year from the Nickel Family, LLC, or Nickel, a California limited liability company that is located in Kern County.

The initial term of the water purchase agreement with Nickel runs to 2044 and includes a Company option to extend the contract for an additional 35 years. The purchase cost of water in 2023 is $928 per acre-foot. The purchase cost is subject to annual cost increases based on the greater of the consumer price index or 3%.

The water purchased above will ultimately be used in the development of the Company’s land for commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, and farming. Interim uses may include the sale of portions of this water to third party users on an annual basis until this water is fully allocated to Company uses, as described.

Water contracts with the Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District, or WRMWSD, and TCWD are also in place, but were entered into with each district at inception of the contract, and not purchased later from third parties, and do not have a related financial value on the books of the Company. Therefore, there is no amortization expense related to these contracts. Total water resources, including both recurring and one-time usage, are:

Tejon Ranchcorp, or Ranchcorp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tejon Ranch Co., entered into a Water Supply Agreement with Pastoria Energy Facility, L.L.C., or PEF, in 2015. PEF is a current lessee of the Company in a land lease for the operation of a power plant. Pursuant to the Water Supply Agreement, PEF may purchase from the Company up to 3,500 acre-feet of water per year from January 1, 2017 through July 31, 2030, with an option to extend the term. PEF is under no obligation to purchase water from the Company in any year but is required to pay the Company an annual option payment equal to 30% of the maximum annual payment. The price of the water under the Water Supply Agreement for 2023 is $1,261 per acre-foot of annual water, subject to 3% annual increases over the life of the contract. The Water Supply Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties which are typical for agreements of this type. The Company's commitments to sell water can be met through current water assets.

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a variable rate term note, or New Term Note, and a new Revolving Line of Credit Note, or New RLC, with Bank of America, N.A, or collectively the New Credit Facility. The New Term Note provided a principal amount of $49,080,000 and a maturity date of June 30, 2032, which was used to pay off the existing Wells Fargo Amended Term Note. The Company evaluated the debt exchange under ASC 470 and determined that the exchange should be treated as a debt extinguishment. The amount available from the New RLC under the New Credit Facility is $40,607,000.

13

The New Term Note had a $48,092,000 balance as of March 31, 2023. The interest rate per annum applicable to the New Term Loan is the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, plus a margin of 1.55 percentage points. The interest rate for the term of the New Term Note has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.62%. The New Term Note requires monthly amortization payments pursuant to a schedule set forth in the New Term Note, with the final outstanding principal amount due June 30, 2032. The New Credit Facility is secured by the Company's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables; the PEF power plant lease and lease site; and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.

The New RLC had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2023. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at a rate equal to Daily SOFR plus 1.37% or can be fixed at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 1.37% above Term SOFR for interest periods elected by the Company. During the term of this RLC (which matures on June 30, 2027), the Company can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary.

The Company also has a $4,750,000 promissory note agreement whose principal and interest due monthly began October 1, 2013. The promissory note is secured by four commercial properties at TRCC-West that are leased by fast casual restaurant operators. The interest rate on this promissory note is 4.25% per annum, with principal and interest payments ending on September 1, 2028. The balance as of March 31, 2023 was $1,627,000.

9.     STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS

The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the making of awards to employees based upon a service condition or through the achievement of performance-related objectives. The Company has issued three types of stock grant awards under these plans: restricted stock with service condition vesting; performance share grants that only vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions, such as share price, or as Performance Condition Grants; and performance share grants that include threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels based on the achievement of specific performance measures, or Performance Milestone Grants. Performance Condition Grants with market-based conditions are based on the achievement of a target share price. The share price used to calculate fair value for market-based awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Failure to achieve the target share price will result in the forfeiture of shares. Forfeiture of share awards with service conditions or performance-based restrictions will result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions does not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.

The following is a summary of the Company’s Performance Condition Grants outstanding as of the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Performance Condition Grants
Target performance	36,020
Maximum performance	112,831

14

The following is a summary of the Company’s stock grant activity, both time and performance share grants, assuming target achievement for outstanding performance grants for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

	March 31, 2023
Stock Grants Outstanding Beginning of Period at Target Achievement	234,899
New Stock Grants/Additional Shares due to Achievement in Excess of Target	30,318
Vested Grants	(169,621)
Stock Grants Outstanding End of Period at Target Achievement	95,596

Thus far in 2023 no new stock grants have been awarded.

The following is a summary of the assumptions used to determine the fair value for the Company’s outstanding market-based Performance Condition Grants as of March 31, 2023:

($ in thousands except for share prices)
Grant date	12/11/2020	03/18/2021	12/16/2021	03/17/2022	12/14/2022
Vesting end	12/31/2023	03/18/2024	12/16/2024	03/17/2025	12/14/2025
Target share price to achieve award	$17.07	$20.02	$21.58	$20.43	$21.99
Expected volatility	29.25%	30.30%	31.29%	31.54%	32.14%
Risk-free interest rate	0.19%	0.33%	0.92%	2.13%	3.84%
Fair value per share at grant date	$15.59	$18.82	$21.48	$21.75	$26.00
Shares granted	3,628	10,905	3,536	13,338	4,613
Total fair value of award	$57	$205	$76	$290	$120

The unamortized cost associated with unvested stock grants and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized as of March 31, 2023 were $1,067,000 and 18 months, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock with time-based vesting features is based upon the Company’s share price on the date of grant and is expensed over the service period. The fair value of Performance Milestone Grants that cliff vest based on the achievement of performance conditions is based on the share price of the Company’s stock on the day of grant multiplied by the number of shares probable to vest based on the estimated achievement of specific performance measures. Because the ultimate vesting of all performance grants is tied to the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates whether the performance condition will be met and over what period of time. Ultimately, the Company will adjust stock compensation costs according to the actual outcome of the performance condition.

Under the Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, or NDSI Plan, each non-employee director receives a portion of his or her annual compensation in stock. The stock is granted at the end of each quarter based on the quarter-end stock price.

The following table summarizes stock compensation costs for the Company's 1998 Stock Incentive Plan, or the Employee Plan, and NDSI Plan for the following periods:

($ in thousands)	Three Months Ended March 31,

10.     INTEREST RATE SWAP

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a variable rate term note, or New Term Note, with Bank of America, N.A. On the same day, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the floating interest rate tied to SOFR under the New Term Note. Per ASC 815, an entity may apply the shortcut method to hedging relationships that meet all of the conditions under ASC 815. The Company performed an initial assessment of the hedging relationship and determined it is appropriate to apply the shortcut method as all conditions were met. The new interest rate swap qualified as an effective cash flow hedge under the guidance of ASC 815. Applying the shortcut method allows the Company to assume that it has a perfectly effective hedging relationship, therefore there is no need for the Company to perform any quantitative assessments of whether the hedge is highly effective.

As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was greater than its cost basis and as such the mark-to-market adjustment is recorded within Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had the following outstanding interest rate swap agreement designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands):

March 31, 2023
Effective Date	Maturity Date	Fair Value Hierarchy	Weighted Average Interest Pay Rate	Fair Value	Notional Amount
June 30, 2022	June 28, 2032	Level 2	4.62%	$629	$48,092

December 31, 2022
Effective Date	Maturity Date	Fair Value Hierarchy	Weighted Average Interest Pay Rate	Fair Value	Notional Amount
June 30, 2022	June 28, 2032	Level 2	4.62%	$1,430	$48,462

11.     INCOME TAXES

The Company’s provision for income taxes as of March 31, 2023 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items). For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s income tax expense was $1,013,000 compared to $3,046,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Effective tax rates were 36% and 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had income tax payables of $482,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was above statutory tax rates as a result of permanent differences related to Section 162(m) limitations. The Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred as a result of changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

12.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Water Contracts

The Company has secured water contracts that are encumbered by the Company's land. These water contracts require minimum annual payments, for which $13,480,000 is expected to be paid in 2023. These estimated water contract payments consist of SWP contracts with WRMWSD, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin, Dudley-Ridge, and the Nickel water contract. The SWP contracts run through 2035 and the Nickel water contract runs through 2044, with an option to extend an additional 35 years. Contractual obligations for future water payments were $269,079,000 as of March 31, 2023.

Contracts

The Company exited a consulting contract during the second quarter of 2014 related to the Grapevine Development, or Grapevine project, and is obligated to pay an earned incentive fee at the time of its successful receipt of litigated project entitlements and at a value measurement date five-years after litigated entitlements have been achieved for Grapevine. The final amount of the incentive fee will not be finalized until the future payment dates. The Company believes as of March 31, 2023, the net savings resulting from exiting the contract during this future time period will more than offset the incentive payment costs.

16

Community Facilities Districts

The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. For the development of the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, or TRCC, TRPFFA has created two Community Facilities Districts, or CFDs: the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $19,540,000 of outstanding bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $72,055,000 of outstanding bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $44,035,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA that can be sold in the future.

In connection with the sale of the bonds, there is a standby letter of credit for $4,393,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two years of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. The Company believes that the letter of credit will never be drawn upon. The letter of credit is for two years and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $60,000.

The Company is obligated, as a landowner in each CFD, to pay its share of the special taxes assessed each year. The secured lands include both the TRCC-West and TRCC-East developments. Proceeds from the sale of West CFD bonds went to reimburse the Company for public infrastructure costs related to the TRCC-West development. As of March 31, 2023, there were no additional improvement funds remaining from the West CFD bonds. There are $9,763,557 of additional improvement funds remaining within the East CFD bonds for reimbursement of public infrastructure costs during future years. During fiscal 2023, the Company expects to pay approximately $2,816,000 in special taxes. As development continues to occur at TRCC, new owners of land and new lease tenants, through triple net leases, will bear an increasing portion of the assessed special tax. This amount could change in the future based on the amount of bonds outstanding and the amount of taxes paid by others. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate and assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company was not required to recognize an obligation on March 31, 2023.

Centennial

On April 30, 2019, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors granted final entitlement approval for the Centennial project. On May 15, 2019, Climate Resolve filed an action in Los Angeles Superior Court (the Climate Resolve Action), pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, and the California Planning and Zoning Law, against the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (collectively, LA County) concerning LA County’s granting of approvals for the Centennial project, including certification of the final environmental impact report and related findings (Centennial EIR); approval of associated general plan amendments; adoption of associated zoning; adoption of the Centennial Specific Plan; approval of a subdivision map for financing purposes; and adoption of a development agreement, among other approvals (collectively, the Centennial Approvals). Separately, on May 28, 2019, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) filed an action in Los Angeles County Superior Court (the CBD/CNPS Action) against LA County; like the Climate Resolve Action, the CBD/CNPS Action also challenges the Centennial Approvals. The Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Tejon Ranchcorp, and Centennial Founders, LLC are named as real parties-in-interest in both the Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action.

The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action collectively allege that LA County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law. The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action have been deemed “related” and have been consolidated for adjudication before the judge presiding over the Climate Resolve Action. The Climate Resolve Action and CBD/CNPS Action seek to invalidate the Centennial Approvals and require LA County to revise the environmental documentation related to the Centennial project. The court held three consolidated hearings for the CBD/CNPS Action and Climate Resolve Action on September 30, 2020, November 13, 2020, and January 8, 2021.

On April 5, 2021 the court issued its decision denying the petition for writ of mandate by CBD/CNPS and granting the petition for writ of mandate filed by Climate Resolve. In granting Climate Resolve’s petition, the court found three specific areas where the EIR for the project was lacking. The court ruled that California’s Cap-and-Trade Program cannot be used as a compliance pathway for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts for the project and therefore further ruled that additional analysis will be required related to all feasible mitigation of GHG impacts. The court also found that the EIR must provide additional analysis and explanation of how wildland fire risk on lands outside of the project site, posed by on-site ignition sources, is mitigated to less than significant. On April 19, 2021 CBD filed a motion for reconsideration with the court on the denial of their petition for writ of mandate to be granted prevailing party status in the Climate Resolve Action (“Motion for Reconsideration”). The hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration originally scheduled for August 13, 2021, was rescheduled to December 1, 2021.

17

On November 30, 2021, the Company together with Ranchcorp and Centennial, entered into a Settlement Agreement with Climate Resolve. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed: (1) to make Centennial a net zero GHG emissions project through various on-site and off-site measures, including but not limited to installing electric vehicle chargers and establishing and funding incentive programs for the purchase of electric vehicles; (2) to fund certain on-site and off-site fire protection and prevention measures; and (3) to provide annual public reports and create an organization to monitor progress towards these commitments. The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Settlement Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement. In exchange, Climate Resolve filed a request for dismissal of the Climate Resolve Action with prejudice from the Los Angeles County Superior Court. On December 3, 2021, the Los Angeles Superior Court granted and entered Climate Resolve’s dismissal with prejudice concluding the Climate Resolve Action. On December 1, 2021, the Los Angeles Superior Court continued CBD/CNPS Motion for Reconsideration to January 14, 2022, directing CBD/CNPS to evaluate the Settlement Agreement reached in the Climate Resolve Action to address issues surrounding remedies should CBD be granted prevailing party status in the Climate Resolve Action, and to evaluate the potential to settle or otherwise address CBD’s objections to the Centennial project. To that end, the Company met and conferred twice on January 4, 2022 and January 20, 2022. On January 14, 2022, the Los Angeles County Superior Court heard CBD/CNPS Motion for Reconsideration and issued its decision granting CBD/CNPS prevailing party status in the Climate Resolve Action.

The Los Angeles County Superior Court, or the Court, set a tentative hearing date of February 25, 2022 concerning the entry of final judgment and awarding of appropriate remedies. Upon mutual request of the parties and approval by the Court, the February 25, 2022 hearing date was extended to September 7, 2022. On September 7, 2022, the Parties appeared before the Court concerning the entry of final judgment and the setting of appropriate remedies. The Court upon hearing oral argument ordered the parties to continue to meet and confer for an additional 30 days and continued the September 7th hearing to October 7, 2022. On October 3, 2022, the Court issued an order on the Court’s own continuance to further continue the October 7, 2022 hearing to October 21, 2022. Upon mutual request of the Parties and approval by the Court, the Parties extended the October 21, 2022 hearing date to October 26, 2022. At the October 26th hearing, the Court agreed to: (a) hear the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration as to the successful challenges Climate Resolve prevailed upon within the Climate Resolve Action and ordered the Parties to appear on December 14, 2022 to hear the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration and (b) rule on the entry of final judgment and setting of remedies at a February 17, 2023 hearing date.

At the December 14, 2022 hearing, the Court denied the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration (finding that the Company’s motion failed to support the statutory elements necessary to prevail on such motion). At the February 17, 2023 hearing, the Court took into submission the Parties’ legal briefs and oral arguments. On March 22, 2023, the Court decided in favor of CBD/CNPS when the Judge signed CBD/CNPS’s proposed form of judgment, which included a full rescission of the Centennial project approvals previously issued by Los Angeles County. The Company is considering options to reinstate the project approvals, such as working with Los Angeles County to complete the additional environmental analysis required by the Court’s ruling.

As the Company’s options to reinstate the project approvals remain pending, the monetary value of any adverse decision, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

Proceedings Incidental to Business

From time to time, the Company is involved in other proceedings incidental to its business, including actions relating to employee claims, real estate disputes, contractor disputes and grievance hearings before labor regulatory agencies.

The outcome of these other proceedings is not predictable. However, based on current circumstances, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, either individually or in the aggregate.

13.    RETIREMENT PLANS

The Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan, or Benefit Plan, that covers eligible employees hired prior to February 1, 2007. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s five-year final average salary. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributable to service both to date and expected to be provided in the future. The Company funds the plan in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In April 2017, the Company froze the Benefit Plan as it relates to future benefit accruals for participants. The Company expects to contribute $165,000 to the Benefit Plan in 2023.

18

Benefit Plan assets consist of equity, debt and short-term money market investment funds. The Benefit Plan’s current investment policy changed during the third quarter of 2018. The policy's strategy seeks to minimize the volatility of the funding ratio. This objective will result in a prescribed asset mix between "return seeking" assets (e.g., stocks) and a bond portfolio (e.g., long duration bonds) according to a pre-determined customized investment strategy based on the Benefit Plan's funded status as the primary input. This path will be used as a reference point as to the mix of assets, which by design will de-emphasize the return seeking portion as the funded status improves. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment mix was approximately 21% equity, 78% debt, and 1% money market funds. Equity investments consist of a combination of individual equity securities plus value funds, growth funds, large cap funds and international stock funds. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the periodic pension cost is 5.00% in 2023 and in 2022. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 5.00% for both fiscal 2023 and 2022. The long-term rate of return on Benefit Plan assets is based on the historical returns within the plan and expectations for future returns.

Total pension and retirement earnings for the Benefit Plan was as follows:

15.    INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

The Company maintains investments in joint ventures. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting unless the venture is a variable interest entity, or VIE, and meets the requirements for consolidation. The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2023 was $36,291,000. Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures was $1,517,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The unconsolidated joint ventures have not been consolidated as of March 31, 2023, because the Company does not control the investments. The Company’s current joint ventures are as follows:

•Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC – Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC, or Petro, is an unconsolidated joint venture with TravelCenters of America that develops and manages travel plazas, gas stations, convenience stores, and fast-food restaurants throughout TRCC. The Company has 50% of the voting rights but participates in 60% of all profits and losses. The Company does not control the investment due to having only 50% of the voting rights. The Company's partner is the managing partner and performs all of the day-to-day operations and has significant decision-making authority over key business components such as fuel inventory and pricing at the facilities. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $25,004,000 as of March 31, 2023.

•Majestic Realty Co. – Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, is a privately-held developer and owner of master planned business parks in the United States. The Company has five active 50/50 joint ventures with Majestic to acquire, develop, manage, and operate industrial real estate at TRCC. The partners have equal voting rights and equally share in the profit and loss of the joint ventures. The Company and Majestic guarantee the performance of all outstanding debt.

•On March 29, 2022, TRC-MRC 5 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of an approximately 446,400 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The construction is financed by a $49,226,000 construction loan that had an outstanding balance of $1,419,000 as of March 31, 2023. The construction loan is individually and collectively guaranteed by the Company and Majestic. In December 2022, the Company contributed land with fair value of $8,501,000 to TRC-MRC5, LLC. The total cost of the land was $2,477,000. The Company recognized profit of $3,012,000 and deferred profit of $3,012,000 after applying the five-step revenue recognition model in accordance with ASC Topic 606 - Revenue From Contracts With Customers and ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by the winter of 2023/2024. The joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space.

•On March 25, 2021, TRC-MRC 4 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of a 629,274 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The construction was completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the Company has leased 100% of the rentable space. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in March 2023 with a promissory note. The note matures on March 1, 2033, and had an outstanding balance of $62,400,000 as of March 31, 2023. In 2021, the Company contributed land with a fair value of $8,464,000 to TRC-MRC 4, LLC. The total cost of the land was $2,895,000. The Company recognized profit of $2,785,000 and deferred profit of $2,785,000. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $5,760,000.

21

•In November 2018, TRC-MRC 3, LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, leasing, and management of a 579,040 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. TRC-MRC 3, LLC qualified as a VIE from inception, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary; therefore, it does not consolidate TRC-MRC 3, LLC in its financial statements. The building is 100% leased as of March 31, 2023. In March 2019, the joint venture entered into a promissory note with a financial institution to finance the construction of the building. The note matures on May 1, 2030 and had an outstanding principal balance of $34,281,000 as of March 31, 2023. On April 1, 2019, the Company contributed land with a fair value of $5,854,000 to TRC-MRC 3, LLC in accordance with the limited liability agreement. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $209,000 as of March 31, 2023.

•In August 2016, the Company partnered with Majestic to form TRC-MRC 2, LLC to acquire, lease, and maintain a fully occupied warehouse at TRCC-West. The partnership acquired the 651,909 square foot building for $24,773,000, which was largely financed through a promissory note guaranteed by both partners. The promissory note was refinanced on June 1, 2018 with a $25,240,000 promissory note. The note matures on July 1, 2028 and has an outstanding principal balance of $22,447,000 as of March 31, 2023. The building is 100% leased as of March 31, 2023. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $2,062,000. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company reclassified excess distributions to Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to continue to record equity in earnings as a debit to the investment account and if it were to become positive, the Company would reclassify the liability to an asset. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), the Company will immediately recognize the liability as income.

•In September 2016, TRC-MRC 1, LLC was formed to develop and operate an approximately 480,480 square foot industrial building at TRCC-East. The building is 100% leased as of March 31, 2023. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $1,954,000. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company reclassified excess distributions to Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to continue to record equity in earnings as a debit to the investment account and if it were to become positive, the Company will reclassify the liability to an asset. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), the Company will immediately recognize the liability as income. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in December 2018 with a mortgage loan. The original balance of the mortgage loan was $25,030,000, of which $22,629,000 was outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

•In February 2022, we formed TRC-MRC Multi I, LLC, to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of approximately 495 multi-family rental units located within TRCC-East. As of March 31, 2023, the Company controlled the joint venture and has consolidated its assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On January 26, 2023, the Company and Majestic entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, formalizing the purchase of Majestic's interest in this joint venture for $175,000. The entity was dissolved shortly thereafter. The project is currently undergoing final design and engineering of Phase I of the project.

•Rockefeller Joint Ventures – The Company has one joint venture with Rockefeller Group Development Corporation, or Rockefeller. At March 31, 2023, the Company’s equity investment balance in these one joint ventures was $6,835,000.

•TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC was formed in 2013 to develop, own, and manage a net leasable 326,000 square foot outlet center on land at TRCC-East. The Company controls 50% of the voting interests of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC; thus, it does not control the joint venture by voting interest alone. The Company is the named managing member. The managing member’s responsibilities relate to the routine day-to-day activities of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC. However, all operating decisions, including the setting and monitoring of the budget, leasing, marketing, financing, and selection of the contractor for any construction, are jointly made by both members of the joint venture. Therefore, the Company concluded that both members have significant participating rights that are sufficient to overcome the presumption of the Company controlling the joint venture through it being named the managing member. As a result, the investment in TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC is being accounted for under the equity method. On September 7, 2021, the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture successfully extended the maturity date of its term note with a financial institution from September 5, 2021 to May 31, 2024. In connection with the loan extension, the joint venture also reduced the outstanding amount by $4,600,000. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the term note was $27,432,000. The Company and Rockefeller guarantee the performance of the debt.

•Centennial Founders, LLC – Centennial Founders, LLC, or CFL, is a joint venture with TRI Pointe Homes to pursue the entitlement and development of land that the Company owns in Los Angeles County. As of March 31, 2023, the Company owned 93.32% of CFL.

The Company’s investment balance in its unconsolidated joint ventures differs from its respective capital accounts in the respective joint ventures. The difference represents the difference between the cost basis of assets contributed by the Company and the agreed upon fair value of the assets contributed.

OVERVIEW

We are a diversified real estate development and agribusiness company committed to responsibly using our land and resources to meet the housing, employment, and lifestyle needs of Californians and to create value for our shareholders. In support of these objectives, we have been investing in land planning and entitlement activities for new industrial and residential land developments and in infrastructure improvements within our active industrial development. Our prime asset is approximately 270,000 acres of contiguous, largely undeveloped land that, at its most southerly border, is 60 miles north of Los Angeles and, at its most northerly border, is 15 miles east of Bakersfield.

Business Objectives and Strategies

Our primary business objective is to maximize long-term shareholder value through the monetization of our land-based assets. A key element of our strategy is to entitle and then develop large-scale mixed-use master planned residential and commercial/industrial real estate development projects to serve the growing populations of Southern and Central California. Our mixed-use master planned residential developments include up to 35,278 housing units, and more than 35 million square feet of commercial space. We have obtained entitlements on Mountain Village at Tejon Ranch, or MV, and the first approved final map for the project consisting of 401 residential lots and parcels for hospitality, amenities, and public uses. In 2019, the Kern County Board of Supervisors unanimously reapproved the Grapevine at Tejon Ranch project, or Grapevine. Centennial at Tejon Ranch, or Centennial, had entitlements approved in 2018, and received legislative approvals in 2019 from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. The approvals were litigated in May 2019 and the Company has since worked on addressing the ongoing litigation, including considering all options to address the Court’s January 2022 decision and the Court’s March 22, 2023 judgment. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding the Centennial litigation.

We are currently executing on value creation as we are engaged in construction, commercial sales, and leasing at our fully operational commercial/industrial center Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, or TRCC. As previously reported, the Company received approval from Kern County allowing for development of multi-family apartment uses within the TRCC, on a 27-acre site located immediately north of the Outlets at Tejon. This authorization allows the Company to develop up to a maximum of 495 multi-family residences, in thirteen apartment buildings, as well as approximately 6,500 square feet of community amenity space and up to 8,000 square feet of community serving retail. All of these efforts are supported by diverse revenue streams generated from other operations including: farming, mineral resources, ranch operations, and our various joint ventures.

25

Our Business

We currently operate in five reporting segments: commercial/industrial real estate development; resort/residential real estate development; mineral resources; farming; and ranch operations.

Activities within the commercial/industrial real estate development segment include planning and permitting of land for development; construction of infrastructure; construction of pre-leased buildings; construction of buildings to be leased or sold; and the sale of land to third parties for their own development. The commercial/industrial real estate development segment also includes activities related to the power plant lease and communications leases.

At the heart of the commercial/industrial real estate development segment is TRCC, a 20 million square foot commercial/industrial development on Interstate 5 just north of the Los Angeles basin. Over six million square feet of industrial, commercial and retail space has already been developed, including distribution centers for IKEA, Caterpillar, Famous Footwear, L'Oreal, Camping World, and Dollar General. TRCC sits on both sides of Interstate 5, giving distributors immediate access to the west coast’s principal north-south goods movement corridor.

We are also involved in multiple joint ventures within TRCC with several partners that help us expand our commercial/industrial business activities:

•A joint venture with TravelCenters of America that owns and operates two travel and truck stop facilities, comprised of five separate gas stations with convenience stores and fast-food restaurants within TRCC-West and TRCC-East.

•A joint venture with Rockefeller Development Group, or Rockefeller:

◦TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC operates the Outlets at Tejon, a net leasable 326,000 square foot shopping experience in TRCC-East;

•Five joint ventures with Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, to develop, manage, and operate industrial buildings within TRCC:

◦TRC-MRC 1, LLC operates a 480,480 square foot industrial building in TRCC-East, which was completed during 2017 and is fully leased;

◦TRC-MRC 2, LLC owns and operates a 651,909 square foot building in TRCC-West that is fully leased;

◦TRC-MRC 3, LLC operates a 579,040 square foot industrial building in TRCC-East that is fully leased; and

◦TRC-MRC 4, LLC was formed in 2021 to pursue the development, construction, leasing and management of a 629,274 square foot industrial building in TRCC-East that is fully leased;

◦TRC-MRC 5 LLC was formed on March 29, 2022, to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of an approximately 446,400 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by the winter of 2023/2024. The building is also fully leased.

The resort/residential real estate development segment is actively involved in the land entitlement and development process internally and through a joint venture. Our active developments within this segment are Mountain Village at Tejon Ranch, or MV, Centennial at Tejon Ranch, or Centennial, and Grapevine at Tejon Ranch, or Grapevine.

•MV encompasses a total of 26,417 acres, of which 5,082 acres will be used for a mixed-use development that will include housing, retail, and commercial components. MV is entitled for 3,450 homes, 160,000 square feet of commercial development, 750 hotel keys, and more than 21,335 acres of open space. The first final map for the project consisting of 401 residential lots and parcels for hospitality, amenities, and public uses was approved by Kern County in December 2021;

•The Centennial development is a mixed-use master planned community development encompassing 12,323 acres of our land within Los Angeles County. Upon completion of Centennial, it is estimated that the community will include approximately 19,333 homes and 10.1 million square feet of commercial development, including nearly 3,500 affordable units. Centennial had entitlements approved in December 2018 and received legislative approvals in April 2019 from the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors. See Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information related to current litigation;

•Grapevine is an 8,010-acre development area located on the San Joaquin Valley floor area of our lands, adjacent to TRCC. Upon completion of Grapevine, the community will include 12,000 homes, 5.1 million square feet for commercial development, and more than 3,367 acres of open space and parks; and

26

•Immediately northeast of Grapevine is Grapevine North, a 7,655-acre development area, which is currently used for agricultural purposes. Identified as a development area in the Tejon Ranch Conservation and Land Use Agreement, or RWA, Grapevine North presents a significant opportunity for future development. Grapevine North may feature mixed use community development similar to Grapevine at Tejon Ranch, or other development uses as appropriate based upon market conditions at the time.

Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, for a more detailed description of our active developments within the resort/residential real estate development segment.

Our mineral resources segment generates revenues from oil and gas royalty leases, rock and aggregate mining leases, a lease with National Cement Company of California Inc., and water sales.

The farming segment produces revenues from the sale of wine grapes, almonds, and pistachios.

Lastly, the ranch operations segment consists of game management revenues and ancillary land uses such as grazing leases and filming.

Summary of 2023 Performance

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had net income attributable to common stockholders of $1,774,000 compared to net income of $4,307,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Heavy California winter rainfalls have severely limited water sales opportunities over the comparative period resulting in a $1,965,000 decline in mineral resources operating profits. In addition, in the absence of having a 2023 first quarter land sale, the Company's commercial/industrial real estate segment saw a $3,632,000 decline in operating profits. These declines were offset by an increase in the equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures of $304,000, an increase in ranch operations operating profits of $429,000 as a result of additional filming revenues, and a decline in income taxes of $2,033,000.

This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations provides a narrative discussion of our results of operations. It contains the results of operations for each reporting segment of the business and is followed by a discussion of our financial position. It is useful to read the reporting segment information in conjunction with Note 14 (Reporting Segments and Related Information) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The preparation of our interim financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, or GAAP, requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts for assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (1) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (2) changes in the estimates that are likely to occur from period to period, use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, or would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to revenue recognition, impairment of long-lived assets, capitalization of costs, allocation of costs related to land sales and leases, stock compensation, and our future ability to utilize deferred tax assets. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, our critical accounting policies have not changed since the filing of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022. Please refer to that filing for a description of our critical accounting policies. Please also refer to Note 1 (Basis of Presentation) in the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report for newly adopted accounting principles.

Results of Operations by Segment

We evaluate the performance of our reporting segments separately to monitor the different factors affecting financial results. Each reporting segment is subject to review and evaluation as we monitor current market conditions, market opportunities, and available resources. The performance of each reporting segment is discussed below:

Operating income from commercial/industrial	$	981	$	4,613	$	(3,632)	(79)	%

•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment revenues were $2,676,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $4,673,000, or 64%, from $7,349,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This was primarily because the Company did not have any land sales during the first quarter of 2023 when compared to the previous year where it had sold a 12.3 acre parcel of land for $4,681,000.

•Commercial/industrial real estate development segment expenses were $1,695,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $1,041,000, or 38%, from $2,736,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease is attributed to having no land cost of sales in the absence of a land sale during the first quarter of 2023.

The logistics operators currently located within TRCC have demonstrated success in serving all of California and the western region of the United States, and the Company showcases their success in its marketing efforts. We expect to continue to focus our marketing strategy for TRCC on the significant labor and logistical benefits of our site, the pro-business approach of Kern County, and the demonstrated success of the current tenants and owners within our development. Our location fits within the logistics model that many companies are using, which favors large, centralized distribution facilities which have been strategically located to maximize the balance of inbound and outbound efficiencies, rather than many decentralized smaller distribution centers. The world-class logistics operators located within TRCC have demonstrated success through utilization of this model. With access to markets of over 40 million people for next-day delivery service, they are also demonstrating success with e-commerce fulfillment.

Our Foreign Trade Zone, or FTZ, designation allows businesses to secure the many benefits and cost reductions associated with streamlined movement of goods in and out of the trade zone. This FTZ designation is further supplemented by the Advance Kern Incentive Program, or AKIP, adopted by the Kern County Board of Supervisors. AKIP is aimed to expand and enhance the County's competitiveness by taking affirmative steps to attract new businesses and to encourage the growth and resilience of existing businesses. AKIP provides incentives such as assistance in obtaining tax incentives, building supporting infrastructure, and workforce development. 

We believe that the FTZ and AKIP, along with our ability to provide fully entitled, shovel-ready land parcels to support buildings of any size, including buildings one million square feet or larger, can provide us with a potential marketing advantage. Our marketing efforts target the Inland Empire region of Southern California, the Santa Clarita Valley of northern Los Angeles County, the northern part of the San Fernando Valley - due to the limited availability of new product and high real estate costs in these locations, and the San Joaquin Valley of California. The Company continues to analyze the market and evaluate expansions of industrial buildings for lease either on our own or in partnerships, as we have done with the buildings developed within our joint ventures.

A potential disadvantage to our development strategy is our distance from the ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach in comparison to the warehouse/distribution centers located in the Inland Empire, a large industrial area located east of Los Angeles, which continues its expansion eastward beyond Riverside and San Bernardino, to include Perris, Moreno Valley, and

28

Beaumont. As development in the Inland Empire continues to move east and farther away from the ports, the potential disadvantage of our distance from the ports is being mitigated. Strong demand for large distribution facilities is driving development farther east in a search for large, entitled parcels.

During the quarter ended March 31, 2023, vacancy rates in the Inland Empire ticked up 100 basis points to 1.9% and net absorption failed to surpass new supply. However, average asking rents posted a new record-high rate of $1.63 per square foot, a 28% jump from 12 months ago. As lease rates increase in the Inland Empire, we may experience greater pricing advantages due to our lower land basis. The San Fernando Valley and Ventura County industrial markets continue to see tight conditions as vacancy and availability sit well below the historical average of 2.1%. Net absorption posted 179,854 square foot of positive demand despite vacancy climbing 20 basis points to 0.9%. Vacancy increased 10 basis points to 0.6% in the San Fernando Valley and up 10 basis points to 1.3% in Ventura County. Average asking rates continued to climb with a $0.02 bump in the San Fernando Valley and a $0.10 bump in Ventura County.

Industrial vacancy rates are expected to remain low, and industrial users seeking larger spaces are going further north into neighboring Kern County, and particularly, TRCC, which has attracted increased attention as market conditions continue to tighten. Additionally, TRCC is in a position to capture tenant awareness due to our ability to provide a competitive alternative for users in the Inland Empire and the Santa Clarita Valley. The Company's TRC-MRC 5 LLC joint venture with Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, a Los Angeles-based commercial industrial developer, was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of an approximately 446,400 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. Construction began in 2023 with completion expected during the winter of 2023/2024. A lease was secured, in advance of construction, for the entirety of this space by Sunrise Brands, a leading designer, producer, distributor, and retailer of both branded and private-label apparel.

We expect our commercial/industrial real estate development segment to continue to experience costs, net of amounts capitalized, primarily related to professional service fees, marketing costs, commissions, planning costs, and staffing costs as we continue to pursue development opportunities. We continue to see the impact of inflation within our construction costs and expect our costs to be impacted by inflation throughout 2023.

The actual timing and completion of development is difficult to predict due to the uncertainties of the market. Infrastructure development and marketing activities and costs could continue to increase over several years as we develop our land holdings. We will also continue to evaluate land resources to determine the highest and best uses for our land holdings. Future land sales are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities. Our goal in the future is to increase land value and create future revenue growth through planning and development of commercial and industrial properties.

Real Estate – Resort/Residential:

We are in the preliminary stages of property development for this segment; hence, no revenues or profits are attributed to this segment.

Resort/residential real estate development segment expenses were $388,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $35,000, or 8%, from $423,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease is namely attributed to a small decrease in professional service costs.

Our long-term business plan of developing the communities of MV, Centennial, and Grapevine remains unchanged. As home buyer trends change in California to a more suburban orientation and the economy stabilizes, we believe the perception of land values will continue to improve. Long-term macro fundamentals, primarily California's population growth and household formation will also support housing demand in our region. California also has a significant documented housing shortage, which we believe our communities will help ease. Most of the expenditures and capital investment to be incurred within our resort/residential real estate segment are expected to continue to focus on the mixed use master planned communities of Centennial, Grapevine, and Mountain Village.

As we move forward with our master planned communities, we expect to explore funding opportunities for the future development of our projects. Such funding opportunities could come from a variety of sources, such as joint ventures with financial partners, debt financing, or the Company’s issuance of additional common stock.

•Mineral resources segment revenues were $6,912,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $5,056,000, or 42%, from $11,968,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The reduction in revenues is primarily attributed to increased water availability. The State Water Project allocation is currently at 100%, whereas in 2022 it was at 5%, which severely limits the Company's water sales opportunities. We do not expect there to be meaningful water sales for the remainder of 2023.

•Mineral resources segment expenses were $4,066,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $3,091,000, or 43%, from $7,157,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. This decrease is consistent with the reduced water sales volume compared to the previous year.

As anticipated changes arise in the future related to groundwater management in California, such as limits on groundwater pumping, we believe that our water assets, including water banking operations, ground water recharge programs, and access to water contracts like those we have purchased in the past, will become even more important and valuable in servicing our projects and providing opportunities for water sales to third parties.

The price per barrel of oil has decreased from the first quarter of 2022 levels leading to declines in production. Prices for oil, natural gas fluctuate in response to relatively minor changes in supply and demand, market uncertainty and a variety of additional factors that are beyond our control, such as: changes in domestic and global supply and demand, domestic and global inventory levels, political and regulatory conditions in California, and international disputes such as current conflicts in Eastern Europe.

•Farming segment revenues were $1,185,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $530,000, or 81%, from $655,000 during the same period in 2022. The increase is attributed to an increase in almond sales and water usage reimbursements. Comparatively we sold 444,000 and 269,000 pounds of almonds during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

30

•Farming segment expenses were $2,013,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $251,000, or 14%, from $1,762,000 during the same period in 2022. The increase in expenses resulted from an increase in insurance costs, increase in cost of sales related to additional almond sales and the additional cost of sales for farming water sold in 2023, there was no farm water sold in the first quarter of 2022.

Our almond, pistachio, and wine grape crop sales are highly seasonal with most of our sales occurring during the third and fourth quarters. Almonds and pistachios each year are sold at market prices while grapes are sold to wineries at contracted prices. Our farming operations during 2023 will continue to be impacted by higher costs of production such as fuel costs, fertilizer costs, pest control costs, and labor costs. Almond prices have shown slight improvement in the first quarter, however the higher than historically normal inventory levels are anticipated to have an adverse effect on prices for the remainder of 2023. It is too early in the production cycle for 2023 to have a subjective estimate of potential production for almonds, grapes, and pistachios.

Weather conditions can also impact the number of tree and vine dormant hours, which are integral to tree and vine growth. We will not know the impact of 2022/2023 winter weather conditions on 2023 production until the summer of 2023.

Lastly, the impact of state ground water management laws on new plantings and continuing crop production remains unknown. Water delivery and water availability continues to be a long-term concern within California. Any limitation of delivery of SWP water and the absence of available alternatives during drought periods could potentially cause permanent damage to orchards and vineyards throughout California. While this could impact us, we believe we have sufficient water resources available to meet our requirements for the next crop year.

•Ranch operations revenues were $1,492,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $444,000, or 42%, from $1,048,000 for the same period in 2022. The increase is primarily attributed to higher filming location revenues that resulted from a major television series that temporarily relocated its filming operations, as a result of adverse weather conditions at their normal filming site.

•Ranch operations expenses were $1,330,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, an increase of $15,000, or 1%, from $1,315,000 for the same period in 2022. This slight increase is attributed to an increase in insurance costs when compared to the prior period.

Corporate and Other:

Corporate general and administrative costs were $2,287,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023, a decrease of $128,000, or 5%, from $2,415,000 for the same period in 2022. The decline is primarily attributed to a reduction in stock compensation expense as the Company did not grant any stock awards during the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decline was offset by an increase in professional service costs.

◦Petro Travel Plaza experienced higher fuel margins and lower depreciation and amortization expense.

◦TRC-MRC 2 entered into a new lease in 2023 at a higher lease rate.

◦TRC-MRC 4 commenced a new lease during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Please refer to "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" for further financial discussion of the results of our joint ventures.

General Outlook

The operations of the Company are seasonal and future results of operations cannot reliably be predicted based on quarterly results. Historically, the Company's largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year. Real estate activity and leasing activities are dependent on market circumstances and specific opportunities and therefore are difficult to predict from period to period.

For further discussion of the risks and uncertainties that could potentially adversely affect us, please refer to Part I, Item 7 – “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, or Annual Report, and to Part I, Item 1A - "Risk Factors" of our Annual Report. We continue to be involved in various legal proceedings related to leased acreage. For a further discussion, please refer to Note 12 (Commitments and Contingencies) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements in this report.

Income Taxes

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company had net income tax expense of $1,013,000 compared to $3,046,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. The effective tax rates approximated 36% and 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, income tax payables were $482,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expenses. The Company's effective tax rates were higher than statutory rates primarily because of permanent differences related to Section 162(m). The Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred due to changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

Cash Flow and Liquidity

Our financial position allows us to pursue our strategies of land entitlement, development, and conservation. Accordingly, we have established well-defined priorities for our available cash, including investing in core operating segments to achieve profitable future growth. We have historically funded our operations with cash flows from operating activities, investment proceeds, and short-term borrowings from our bank credit facilities. In the past, we have also issued common stock and used the proceeds for capital investment activities.

To enhance shareholder value over the long-term, we expect to continue to make investments in our real estate segments to secure land entitlement approvals, build infrastructure for our developments, provide adequate water supplies, and provide funds for general land development activities. Within our farming segment, we intend to make investments as needed to improve efficiency and add capacity to its operations when it is profitable to do so.

32

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled $75,700,000 as of March 31, 2023, an increase of $3,137,000 from $72,563,000 as of December 31, 2022.

The following table shows our cash flow activities for the three months ended March 31,

Operating activities	$	3,413	$	7,984
Investing activities	$	877	$	(5,243)
Financing activities	$	(3,030)	$	(2,231)

Operating Activities

During the first three months of 2023, the Company's operations provided $3,413,000 primarily as a result of distributions of earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures and in net income from operations.

During the first three months of 2022, the Company's operations provided $7,984,000 primarily as a result distributions of earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures and growth in net income.

Investing Activities

During the first three months of 2023, investing activities provided $877,000. The Company made capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll (exclusive of stock compensation), of $5,037,000, which includes predevelopment activities for our master planned communities; $524,000 consisting of permitting efforts for MV; $326,000 consisting of permitting efforts for Grapevine; and costs related to litigation defense for Centennial of $700,000. At TRCC, we spent $1,286,000 on infrastructure improvements at TRCC-East. Within our farming segment, we spent $1,659,000, which includes cultural costs for orchards currently classified as under development and replacing machinery and equipment. Lastly, the Company used $4,355,000 to acquire water assets. The Company had marketable securities maturities of $27,193,000 and reinvested $28,892,000. Lastly, the Company received proceeds of $10,644,000, and $1,324,000 from joint venture distributions, and water sales, respectively.

During the first three months of 2022, investing activities used $5,243,000. The Company made capital expenditures, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll (exclusive of stock compensation), of $4,432,000, which includes predevelopment activities for our master planned communities; $517,000 consisting of permitting efforts for MV; $156,000 consisting of permitting efforts for Grapevine; and costs related to litigation defense for Centennial of $1,274,000. At TRCC, we spent $642,000 on infrastructure improvements, related to land development and the residential community at TRCC-East. Within our farming segment, we spent $1,673,000, which includes cultural costs for orchards not currently in production and replacing machinery and equipment. Lastly, the Company used $941,000 to acquire water assets.

As we move forward, we anticipate we will continue to use cash from operations, proceeds from the maturity of securities, and anticipated distributions from joint ventures to fund real estate project investments, including the investments summarized below.

Our estimated capital investment, inclusive of capitalized interest and payroll, for the remainder of 2023 is primarily related to our real estate projects. These estimated investments include approximately $19,437,000 of infrastructure development at TRCC-East to support continued commercial retail and industrial development and to design and construct water facilities to support future anticipated absorption. We also plan to continue to invest in cultural costs tied to new almond orchards and vineyards, and to replace farm equipment. The farm investments are part of a long-term farm management program to redevelop declining orchards and vineyards to maintain and improve future farm revenues. Lastly, we expect to invest up to $6,290,000 for land planning, litigation/appeals, federal and state agency permitting activities, and development activities at MV, Centennial, and Grapevine during the remainder of 2023.

We capitalize interest cost as a cost of the project only during the period for which activities necessary to prepare an asset for its intended use are ongoing, provided expenditures for the asset have been made and interest cost has been incurred. Capitalized interest for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, was $621,000 and $579,000, respectively, and is classified within real estate development. We also capitalized payroll costs related to development, pre-construction, and construction projects which aggregated $668,000 and $719,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Expenditures for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred.

Financing Activities

During the first three months of 2023, financing activities used $3,030,000, which was attributable to long-term debt service of $436,000, and tax payments on vested share grants of $2,594,000.

33

During the first three months of 2022, financing activities used $2,231,000, which was attributable to long-term debt service of $1,109,000 and tax payments on vested share grants of $1,122,000.

It is difficult to accurately predict cash flows due to the nature of our businesses and fluctuating economic conditions. Our earnings and cash flows will be affected from period to period by the commodity nature of our farming and mineral operations, the timing of sales and leases of property within our development projects, and the beginning of development within our residential projects. The timing of sales and leases within our development projects is difficult to predict due to the time necessary to complete the development process and negotiate sales or lease contracts. Often, the timing aspect of land development can lead to certain years or periods having different earnings than comparable periods. Based on the Company's experience, the Company believes it will have adequate cash flows, cash balances, and availability on our line of credit (discussed below) over the next twelve months to fund internal operations. As we move forward with the completion of our litigation, permitting and engineering design for our master planned communities and prepare to move into the development stage, we will need to secure additional funding through the issuance of equity and secure other forms of financing such as joint ventures and possibly debt financing.

We regularly evaluate our short-term and long-term capital investment needs. Based on the timing of capital investments, we may supplement our current cash, marketable securities, and operational funding sources through the sale of common stock and the incurrence of additional debt.

Capital Structure and Financial Condition

At March 31, 2023, total capitalization at book value was $526,771,000, consisting of $49,719,000 of debt and $477,052,000 of equity, resulting in a debt-to-total-capitalization ratio of approximately 9.4%.

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a variable rate term note, or New Term Note, and a New Revolving Line of Credit Note, or New RLC, with Bank of America, N.A, (Lender) or collectively the New Credit Facility. The New Term Loan provides a principal amount of $49,080,000 and a maturity date of June 30, 2032, which was used to pay off the existing Wells Fargo Amended Term Note. The Company evaluated the exchange under ASC 470 and determined that the exchange should be treated as a debt extinguishment. The amount of New RLC under the New Credit Facility is $40,607,000. As a subfacility under the New RLC, the Lender agrees to provide up to $10,000,000 of capacity to issue standby letters of credit. The Company currently has $4,393,000 outstanding on a standby letter of credit (see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements section below for further discussion). The Company can issue an additional $5,607,000 in standby letters of credit. The allocation of the credit availability to a letter of credit does not incur an interest cost.

The New Term Note had a $48,092,000 balance as of March 31, 2023. The interest rate per annum applicable to the New Term Loan is the daily secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a margin of 1.55 percentage points. The interest rate for the term of the New Term Note has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.62%. The New Term Note requires monthly amortization payments pursuant to a schedule set forth in the New Term Note, with the final outstanding principal amount due June 28, 2032. The New Credit Facility is secured by the Company's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables; the PEF power plant lease and lease site; and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.

The New RLC had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2023. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at a rate equal to Daily SOFR plus 1.37% or can be fixed at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 1.37% for interest periods elected by the Company. During the term of the New RLC (which matures in June 2032), the Company can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary.

Any future borrowings under the New RLC are expected to be used for ongoing working capital requirements and other general corporate purposes. To maintain availability of funds under the New RLC, undrawn amounts under the New RLC will accrue a commitment fee of 10 basis points per annum. The Company's ability to borrow additional funds in the future under the New RLC is subject to compliance with certain financial covenants and making certain representations and warranties, which are typical in this type of borrowing arrangement.

The New Credit Facility requires compliance with two financial covenants: (a) total liabilities divided by tangible net worth not greater than 0.75 to 1.0 at each quarter end; and (b) a debt service coverage ratio not less than 1.25 to 1.00 as of each quarter end on a rolling four quarter basis.

At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all financial covenants.

The New Credit Facility also contains customary negative covenants that limit the ability of the Company to, among other things, make capital expenditures, incur indebtedness and issue guaranties, consummate certain assets sales, acquisitions or mergers, make investments, pay dividends or repurchase stock, make a change in capital ownership, or incur liens on any assets.

34

The New Credit Facility contains customary events of default, including: failure to make required payments; failure to comply with terms of the New Credit Facility; bankruptcy and insolvency. The New Credit Facility contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties, which are typical for credit facilities of this type.

The Company also has a $4,750,000 promissory note agreement whose principal and interest due monthly began October 1, 2013. The interest rate on this promissory note is 4.25% per annum, with principal and interest payments ending on September 1, 2028. The balance as of March 31, 2023 was $1,627,000.

We expect that current and future capital resource requirements will be provided primarily from current cash and marketable securities, cash flow from ongoing operations, distributions from joint ventures, proceeds from the sale of developed and undeveloped land parcels, potential sales of assets, additional use of debt or drawdowns against our line of credit, proceeds from the reimbursement of public infrastructure costs through CFD bond debt (described below under “Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements”), and the issuance of additional common stock.

In May 2022, we filed an updated shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which went effective in May 2022. Under the shelf registration statement, we may offer and sell in the future one or more offerings not to exceed $200,000,000, common stock, preferred stock, debt securities, warrants or any combination of the foregoing. The shelf registration allows for efficient and timely access to capital markets and when combined with our other potential funding sources just noted, provides us with a variety of capital funding options that can then be used and appropriately matched to the funding needs of the Company.

Although we have a strong liquidity position at March 31, 2023 with $75,700,000 in cash and securities and $40,607,000 available on our New RLC to meet any short-term liquidity needs, we have taken steps to maximize positive cash flow, in case a lack of liquidity in the economy limits our access to third party funding by responsibly limiting cash expenditures to the extent practical. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) and Note 7 (Line of Credit and Long-Term Debt) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

We continue to expect that substantial investments will be required to develop our land assets. To meet these capital requirements, we may need to secure additional debt financing and continue to renew our existing credit facilities. In addition to debt financing, we will use other capital alternatives such as joint ventures with financial partners, sales of assets, and the issuance of common stock. We will use a combination of the above funding sources to properly match funding requirements with the assets or development project being funded. There is no assurance that we can obtain financing or that we can obtain financing at favorable terms. We believe we have adequate capital resources to fund our cash needs and our capital investment requirements in the near-term as described earlier in the cash flow and liquidity discussions.

Contractual Cash Obligations

The following table summarizes our contractual cash obligations and commercial commitments as of March 31, 2023, to be paid over the next five years and thereafter:

The table above includes only those contracts that include fixed or minimum obligations. It does not include normal purchases that are made in the ordinary course of business.

Estimated water payments include the Nickel Family, LLC water contract, which obligates us to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water annually through 2044 and SWP contracts with Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, and Dudley-Ridge Water Storage District. These contracts for the supply of future water run through 2035. Please refer to Note 5 (Long-Term Water Assets) of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information regarding water assets.

35

Our cash contract commitments consist of contracts in various stages of completion related to infrastructure development within our industrial developments and entitlement costs related to our industrial and residential development projects. Also included in the cash contract commitments are operating lease obligations. Our operating lease obligations are for office equipment. At the present time, we do not have any capital lease obligations or purchase obligations outstanding.

As discussed in Note 13 (Retirement Plans) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, we have long-term liabilities for deferred employee compensation, including pension and supplemental retirement plans. Payments in the above table reflect estimates of future defined benefit plan contributions from the Company to the plan trust, estimates of payments to employees from the plan trust, and estimates of future payments to employees from the Company that are in the SERP program. We expect to contribute $165,000 to our defined benefit plan in 2023.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

The following table shows contingent obligations we have with respect to certain bonds issued by the CFDs: 

	Amount of Commitment Expiration Per Period

The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. TRPFFA created two CFDs, the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $19,540,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $72,055,000 of bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $44,035,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA.

In connection with the sale of the bonds there is a standby letter of credit for $4,393,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two years' worth of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. As development occurs within TRCC-East, there is a mechanism in the bond documents to reduce the amount of the letter of credit. The Company believes as of March 31, 2023, that the letter of credit will likely never be drawn upon. This letter of credit is for a two-year period and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $60,000. The tax assessment of each individual property sold or leased within each CFD is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate of the property at the time of sale or at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company is not required to recognize an obligation as of March 31, 2023.

As of March 31, 2023, aggregate outstanding debt of unconsolidated joint ventures was $183,736,000; $170,608,000 of this debt is subject to various degrees of guarantees ranging from 0% to 100% of the total debt outstanding, with construction loans generally being 100% guaranteed. As of March 31, 2023, only $27,500,000 of outstanding debt is subject to guarantees. Because of positive cash flow generation within the Rockefeller and Majestic joint ventures, we, as of March 31, 2023, do not expect any guarantee to be called upon. We do not provide a guarantee on the $13,128,000 of debt related to our joint venture with TA/Petro.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

EBITDA represents earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, a non-GAAP financial measure, and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance. Adjusted EBITDA is used to assess the performance of our core operations, for financial and operational decision making, and as a supplemental or additional means of evaluating period-to-period comparisons on a consistent basis. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as EBITDA, excluding stock compensation expense. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides investors relevant and useful information because it permits investors to view income from our operations on an unleveraged basis before the effects of taxes, depreciation and amortization, and stock compensation expense. By excluding interest expense and income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA allow investors to measure our performance independent of our capital structure and indebtedness and, therefore, allow for a more meaningful comparison of our performance to that of other companies, both in the real estate industry and in other industries. We believe that excluding charges related to share-based compensation facilitates a comparison of our operations across periods and among other companies without the variances caused by different valuation methodologies, the volatility of the expense (which depends on market forces outside our control), and the assumptions and the variety of award types that a company can use. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA have limitations as measures of our performance. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA do not reflect our historical cash expenditures or future cash requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments. While EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are relevant and widely used measures of performance, they do not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP. Further, our computation of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similar measures reported by other companies.

Net operating income (NOI) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as operating income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, and gain or loss on sales of real estate. We believe NOI provides useful information to investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because it primarily reflects those income and expense items that are incurred at the property level. Therefore, we believe NOI is a useful measure for evaluating the operating performance of our real estate assets.

The Company utilizes NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures as a measure of financial or operating performance that is not specifically defined by GAAP. We believe NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures provides investors with additional information concerning operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. We also use this measure internally to monitor the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures. Our computation of this non-GAAP measure may not be the same as similar measures reported by other companies. This non-GAAP financial measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a measure of the operating performance of our unconsolidated joint ventures or to cash flows computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of liquidity, nor are they indicative of cash flows from operating and financial activities of our unconsolidated joint ventures.

The following schedule reconciles net income of unconsolidated joint ventures to NOI of unconsolidated joint ventures. Please refer to Note 15 (Investment in Unconsolidated and Consolidated Joint Ventures) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on joint ventures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company due to adverse changes in financial or commodity market prices or rates. We are exposed to market risk in the areas of interest rates and commodity prices.

Financial Market Risks

Our exposure to financial market risks includes changes to interest rates and credit risks related to marketable securities, interest rates related to our outstanding indebtedness and trade receivables.

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while at the same time maximizing yields and prudently managing risk. To achieve this objective and limit interest rate exposure, we limit our investments to securities with a maturity of less than five years and an investment grade rating from Moody’s or Standard and Poor’s. See Note 3 (Marketable Securities) of the Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

The New RLC had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2023. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at a rate equal to Daily SOFR plus 1.37% or can be fixed at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus1.37% above Term SOFR for interest periods elected by the Company. During the term of the New RLC (which matures on June 30, 2032), the Company can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary.

We are exposed to interest rate risk on our long-term debt. Long-term debt consists of two term loans, one of which has a balance of $48,092,000 as of March 31, 2023 and is tied to the daily secured overnight financing rate, or SOFR, plus a margin of 1.55 percentage points. The interest rate for the term of the New Term Note has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.62%. The outstanding balance on the second term loan as of March 31, 2023 was $1,627,000 and has a fixed rate of 4.25%. We believe it is prudent at times to limit the variability of floating-rate interest payments and have from time to time entered into interest rate swap arrangements to manage those fluctuations, as we did with the first term loan (discussed here).

Market risk related to our farming inventories ultimately depends on the value of almonds, grapes, and pistachios at the time of payment or sale. Credit risk related to our receivables depends upon the financial condition of our customers. Based on historical experience with our current customers and our periodic credit evaluations of our customers’ financial conditions, we believe our credit risk is minimal. Market risk related to our farming inventories is discussed below in the section pertaining to commodity price exposure.

The following tables provide information about our financial instruments that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The tables present our debt obligations and marketable securities and their related weighted-average interest rates by expected maturity dates.

Commodity Price Exposure

Farming inventories and accounts receivables are exposed to adverse price fluctuations. Farming inventories consists of farming cultural and processing costs associated with crop production. Farming inventory costs are recorded as incurred. Historically, these costs have been recovered through crop sales occurring after harvest. As of the date of this report there are no receivables that are subject to commodity price fluctuations given that there were no pistachio yields in 2022.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

(a)Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

At the end of the period covered by this report, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act.

[1] In determining the classification of cash inflows and outflows related to water asset activity, the Company’s practices are supported by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 230-10-45-22, which provides that “Certain cash receipts and payments have aspects of more than one class of cash flows…. If so, the appropriate classification shall depend on the activity that is likely to be the predominant source of cash flows for the item.” Also, at the 2006 American Institution of Certified Public Accountants Conference on Current SEC and PCAOB Developments, the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC staff discussed that an entity should be consistent in how it classifies cash outflows and inflows related to an asset’s purchase and sale and noted that when cash flow classification is unclear, registrants must use judgment and analysis that considers the nature of the activity and the predominant source of cash flow for these items.
Given the nature of our water assets and the aforementioned authoritative guidance, the Company estimates the appropriate classification of water assets purchased based on the timing of the sale of the water. Water purchased in prior periods that was classified as investing was sold for $1.3 million in 2023, this cash inflow is appropriately classified in the Company’s investing activities. The profit of $0.5 million related to the water purchased in prior periods is appropriately being deducted from operating activities for the current period. The Company has and will continue to apply this methodology to water asset transactions that meet this fact pattern.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The summarized information of Tejon Ranch Co. and its subsidiaries (the Company or Tejon), provided pursuant to Part I, Item 1 of Form 10-Q is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of the Company’s management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim period. All such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of its consolidated financial statements.

The periods ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 include the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC’s statement of operations within the resort/residential real estate development segment, statements of changes in equity and noncontrolling interests, and statements of cash flows. The Company’s March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 balance sheets are presented on a consolidated basis, including the consolidation of Centennial Founders, LLC.

The Company has identified five reportable segments: commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, mineral resources, farming, and ranch operations. Information for the Company’s reportable segments are presented in its Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company’s reportable segments follow the same accounting policies used for the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company uses segment profit or loss and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures as the primary measures of profitability to evaluate operating performance and to allocate capital resources.

The results of the period reported herein are not indicative of the results to be expected for the full year due to the seasonal nature of the Company’s agricultural activities, water activities, timing of real estate sales and leasing activities. Historically, the Company’s largest percentages of farming revenues are recognized during the third and fourth quarters of the fiscal year.

For further information and a summary of significant accounting policies, refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Financial Instruments

Certain financial instruments are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at cost or amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value due to their short-term and highly liquid nature.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, security deposits held for customers, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities. The fair value of the notes payable also approximates their carrying value as the interest rates are primarily variable and approximate prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily relate to funds held in escrow. The Company had $500,000 of restricted cash as of March 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

No new Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, is applicable to our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2023.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract]

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

MARKETABLE SECURITIES

ASC Topic 320, “Investments – Debt and Equity Securities,” requires that an enterprise classify all debt securities as either held-to-maturity, trading or available-for-sale. The Company classifies its securities as available-for-sale and therefore is required to adjust securities to fair value at each reporting date. All costs and both realized and unrealized gains and losses on securities are determined on a specific identification basis. The following is a summary of available-for-sale securities at:

($ in thousands)		March 31, 2023				December 31, 2022
Marketable Securities:	Fair Value Hierarchy	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value
U.S. Treasury and agency notes
with unrealized losses for less than 12 months		$	17,533	$	17,472	$	13,916	$	13,832

Corporate notes
with unrealized losses for less than 12 months		9,984		9,935		17,236		17,112
with unrealized losses for more than 12 months		2,801		2,788		251		250
with unrealized gains		499		500		499		500
Total Corporate notes	Level 2	13,284		13,223		17,986		17,862
		$	35,425	$	35,321	$	33,652	$	33,444

ASC Topic 326, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," requires the Company to use an allowance approach when recognizing credit loss for available-for-sale debt securities, measured as the difference between the security's amortized cost basis and the amount expected to be collected over the security's lifetime. Under this approach, at each reporting date, the Company records impairment related to credit losses through earnings offset with an allowance for credit losses, or ACL. At March 31, 2023, the Company has not recorded any credit losses.

As of March 31, 2023, the fair market value of marketable securities was $104,000 below their cost basis. The Company’s gross unrealized holding gains equaled $19,000 and gross unrealized holding losses equaled $123,000. As of March 31, 2023, the adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive loss reflected a decline in market value of $104,000, including estimated taxes of $29,000.

The Company elected to exclude applicable accrued interest from both the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the available-for-sale debt securities, and separately present the accrued interest receivable balance per ASC Topic 326. The accrued interest receivables balance totaled $223,000 as of March 31, 2023 and was included within the Prepaid expenses and other current assets line item of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company elected not to measure an allowance for credit losses on accrued interest receivable as an allowance on possible uncollectible accrued interest is not warranted.

U.S. Treasury and agency notes

The unrealized losses on the Company's investments in U.S. Treasury and agency notes at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were caused by relative changes in interest rates since the time of purchase. The contractual cash flows for these securities are guaranteed by U.S. government agencies. The unrealized losses on these debt security holdings are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Corporate notes

The contractual terms of those investments do not permit the issuers to settle the securities at a price less than the amortized cost basis of the investments. The unrealized losses on corporate notes are a function of changes in investment spreads and interest rate movements and not changes in credit quality. The Company expects to recover the entire amortized cost basis of these securities. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company did not intend to sell these securities and it is not more-likely-than-not that the Company would be required to sell these securities before recovery of their cost basis. Therefore, these investments did not require an ACL as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

The following tables summarize the maturities, at par, of marketable securities as of:

LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2023

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS

LONG-TERM WATER ASSETS

Long-term water assets consist of water and water contracts held for future use or sale. The water is held at cost, which includes the price paid for the water and the cost to pump and deliver the water from the California aqueduct into the water bank. Water is currently held in a water bank on Company land in southern Kern County and by the Tejon-Castac Water District (TCWD) in the Kern Water Banks.

The Company has secured State Water Project, or SWP, entitlements under long-term SWP water contracts within the Tulare Lake Basin Water Storage District, or Tulare Lake Basin, and the Dudley-Ridge Water District, or Dudley-Ridge, totaling 3,444 acre-feet of SWP entitlement annually, subject to SWP allocations. These contracts extend through 2035 and have been transferred to the Antelope Valley East Kern Water Agency, or AVEK, for the Company's use in the Antelope Valley. In 2013, the Company acquired a contract to purchase water that obligates the Company to purchase 6,693 acre-feet of water each year from the Nickel Family, LLC, or Nickel, a California limited liability company that is located in Kern County.

The initial term of the water purchase agreement with Nickel runs to 2044 and includes a Company option to extend the contract for an additional 35 years. The purchase cost of water in 2023 is $928 per acre-foot. The purchase cost is subject to annual cost increases based on the greater of the consumer price index or 3%.

The water purchased above will ultimately be used in the development of the Company’s land for commercial/industrial real estate development, resort/residential real estate development, and farming. Interim uses may include the sale of portions of this water to third party users on an annual basis until this water is fully allocated to Company uses, as described.

Water revenues and cost of sales were as follows for the three months ended ($ in thousands):

	March 31, 2023		March 31, 2022

Water contracts with the Wheeler Ridge Maricopa Water Storage District, or WRMWSD, and TCWD are also in place, but were entered into with each district at inception of the contract, and not purchased later from third parties, and do not have a related financial value on the books of the Company. Therefore, there is no amortization expense related to these contracts. Total water resources, including both recurring and one-time usage, are:

Tejon Ranchcorp, or Ranchcorp, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tejon Ranch Co., entered into a Water Supply Agreement with Pastoria Energy Facility, L.L.C., or PEF, in 2015. PEF is a current lessee of the Company in a land lease for the operation of a power plant. Pursuant to the Water Supply Agreement, PEF may purchase from the Company up to 3,500 acre-feet of water per year from January 1, 2017 through July 31, 2030, with an option to extend the term. PEF is under no obligation to purchase water from the Company in any year but is required to pay the Company an annual option payment equal to 30% of the maximum annual payment. The price of the water under the Water Supply Agreement for 2023 is $1,261 per acre-foot of annual water, subject to 3% annual increases over the life of the contract. The Water Supply Agreement contains other customary terms and conditions, including representations and warranties which are typical for agreements of this type. The Company's commitments to sell water can be met through current water assets.

Long-term debt, less current portion	$	47,710	$	48,161

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a variable rate term note, or New Term Note, and a new Revolving Line of Credit Note, or New RLC, with Bank of America, N.A, or collectively the New Credit Facility. The New Term Note provided a principal amount of $49,080,000 and a maturity date of June 30, 2032, which was used to pay off the existing Wells Fargo Amended Term Note. The Company evaluated the debt exchange under ASC 470 and determined that the exchange should be treated as a debt extinguishment. The amount available from the New RLC under the New Credit Facility is $40,607,000.

The New Term Note had a $48,092,000 balance as of March 31, 2023. The interest rate per annum applicable to the New Term Loan is the daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate, or SOFR, plus a margin of 1.55 percentage points. The interest rate for the term of the New Term Note has been fixed through the use of an interest rate swap at a rate of 4.62%. The New Term Note requires monthly amortization payments pursuant to a schedule set forth in the New Term Note, with the final outstanding principal amount due June 30, 2032. The New Credit Facility is secured by the Company's farmland and farm assets, which include equipment, crops and crop receivables; the PEF power plant lease and lease site; and related accounts and other rights to payment and inventory.

The New RLC had no outstanding balance as of March 31, 2023. At the Company’s option, the interest rate on this line of credit can float at a rate equal to Daily SOFR plus 1.37% or can be fixed at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 1.37% above Term SOFR for interest periods elected by the Company. During the term of this RLC (which matures on June 30, 2027), the Company can borrow at any time and partially or wholly repay any outstanding borrowings and then re-borrow, as necessary.

The Company also has a $4,750,000 promissory note agreement whose principal and interest due monthly began October 1, 2013. The promissory note is secured by four commercial properties at TRCC-West that are leased by fast casual restaurant operators. The interest rate on this promissory note is 4.25% per annum, with principal and interest payments ending on September 1, 2028. The balance as of March 31, 2023 was $1,627,000.

STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS

STOCK COMPENSATION - RESTRICTED STOCK AND PERFORMANCE SHARE GRANTS

The Company’s stock incentive plans provide for the making of awards to employees based upon a service condition or through the achievement of performance-related objectives. The Company has issued three types of stock grant awards under these plans: restricted stock with service condition vesting; performance share grants that only vest upon the achievement of specified performance conditions, such as share price, or as Performance Condition Grants; and performance share grants that include threshold, target, and maximum achievement levels based on the achievement of specific performance measures, or Performance Milestone Grants. Performance Condition Grants with market-based conditions are based on the achievement of a target share price. The share price used to calculate fair value for market-based awards is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. Failure to achieve the target share price will result in the forfeiture of shares. Forfeiture of share awards with service conditions or performance-based restrictions will result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense. Forfeiture of share awards with market-based restrictions does not result in a reversal of previously recognized share-based compensation expense.

The following is a summary of the Company’s Performance Condition Grants outstanding as of the three months ended March 31, 2023:

Performance Condition Grants
Target performance	36,020
Maximum performance	112,831

The following is a summary of the Company’s stock grant activity, both time and performance share grants, assuming target achievement for outstanding performance grants for the three months ended March 31, 2023:

	March 31, 2023
Stock Grants Outstanding Beginning of Period at Target Achievement	234,899
New Stock Grants/Additional Shares due to Achievement in Excess of Target	30,318
Vested Grants	(169,621)
Stock Grants Outstanding End of Period at Target Achievement	95,596

Thus far in 2023 no new stock grants have been awarded.

The following is a summary of the assumptions used to determine the fair value for the Company’s outstanding market-based Performance Condition Grants as of March 31, 2023:

Total fair value of award	$57	$205	$76	$290	$120

The unamortized cost associated with unvested stock grants and the weighted average period over which it is expected to be recognized as of March 31, 2023 were $1,067,000 and 18 months, respectively. The fair value of restricted stock with time-based vesting features is based upon the Company’s share price on the date of grant and is expensed over the service period. The fair value of Performance Milestone Grants that cliff vest based on the achievement of performance conditions is based on the share price of the Company’s stock on the day of grant multiplied by the number of shares probable to vest based on the estimated achievement of specific performance measures. Because the ultimate vesting of all performance grants is tied to the achievement of a performance condition, the Company estimates whether the performance condition will be met and over what period of time. Ultimately, the Company will adjust stock compensation costs according to the actual outcome of the performance condition.

Under the Non-Employee Director Stock Incentive Plan, or NDSI Plan, each non-employee director receives a portion of his or her annual compensation in stock. The stock is granted at the end of each quarter based on the quarter-end stock price.

INTEREST RATE SWAP

INTEREST RATE SWAP

On June 30, 2022, the Company entered into a variable rate term note, or New Term Note, with Bank of America, N.A. On the same day, the Company entered into a new interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to fluctuations in the floating interest rate tied to SOFR under the New Term Note. Per ASC 815, an entity may apply the shortcut method to hedging relationships that meet all of the conditions under ASC 815. The Company performed an initial assessment of the hedging relationship and determined it is appropriate to apply the shortcut method as all conditions were met. The new interest rate swap qualified as an effective cash flow hedge under the guidance of ASC 815. Applying the shortcut method allows the Company to assume that it has a perfectly effective hedging relationship, therefore there is no need for the Company to perform any quantitative assessments of whether the hedge is highly effective.

As of March 31, 2023, the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement was greater than its cost basis and as such the mark-to-market adjustment is recorded within Other Assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had the following outstanding interest rate swap agreement designated as an interest rate cash flow hedge as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 ($ in thousands):

INCOME TAXES

INCOME TAXES

The Company’s provision for income taxes as of March 31, 2023 has been calculated by applying an estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full year to “ordinary” income or loss (pre-tax income or loss excluding unusual or infrequently occurring discrete items). For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s income tax expense was $1,013,000 compared to $3,046,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Effective tax rates were 36% and 41% for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Company had income tax payables of $482,000. The Company classifies interest and penalties incurred on tax payments as income tax expense.

For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company’s effective tax rate was above statutory tax rates as a result of permanent differences related to Section 162(m) limitations. The Section 162(m) compensation deduction limitations occurred as a result of changes in tax law arising from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Water Contracts

The Company has secured water contracts that are encumbered by the Company's land. These water contracts require minimum annual payments, for which $13,480,000 is expected to be paid in 2023. These estimated water contract payments consist of SWP contracts with WRMWSD, TCWD, Tulare Lake Basin, Dudley-Ridge, and the Nickel water contract. The SWP contracts run through 2035 and the Nickel water contract runs through 2044, with an option to extend an additional 35 years. Contractual obligations for future water payments were $269,079,000 as of March 31, 2023.

Contracts

The Company exited a consulting contract during the second quarter of 2014 related to the Grapevine Development, or Grapevine project, and is obligated to pay an earned incentive fee at the time of its successful receipt of litigated project entitlements and at a value measurement date five-years after litigated entitlements have been achieved for Grapevine. The final amount of the incentive fee will not be finalized until the future payment dates. The Company believes as of March 31, 2023, the net savings resulting from exiting the contract during this future time period will more than offset the incentive payment costs.

Community Facilities Districts

The Tejon Ranch Public Facilities Financing Authority, or TRPFFA, is a joint powers authority formed by Kern County and TCWD to finance public infrastructure within the Company’s Kern County developments. For the development of the Tejon Ranch Commerce Center, or TRCC, TRPFFA has created two Community Facilities Districts, or CFDs: the West CFD and the East CFD. The West CFD has placed liens on 420 acres of the Company’s land to secure payment of special taxes related to $19,540,000 of outstanding bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-West. The East CFD has placed liens on 1,931 acres of the Company’s land to secure payments of special taxes related to $72,055,000 of outstanding bond debt sold by TRPFFA for TRCC-East. At TRCC-West, the West CFD has no additional bond debt approved for issuance. At TRCC-East, the East CFD has approximately $44,035,000 of additional bond debt authorized by TRPFFA that can be sold in the future.

In connection with the sale of the bonds, there is a standby letter of credit for $4,393,000 related to the issuance of East CFD bonds. The standby letter of credit is in place to provide additional credit enhancement and cover approximately two years of interest on the outstanding bonds. This letter of credit will not be drawn upon unless the Company, as the largest landowner in the CFD, fails to make its property tax payments. The Company believes that the letter of credit will never be drawn upon. The letter of credit is for two years and will be renewed in two-year intervals as necessary. The annual cost related to the letter of credit is approximately $60,000.

The Company is obligated, as a landowner in each CFD, to pay its share of the special taxes assessed each year. The secured lands include both the TRCC-West and TRCC-East developments. Proceeds from the sale of West CFD bonds went to reimburse the Company for public infrastructure costs related to the TRCC-West development. As of March 31, 2023, there were no additional improvement funds remaining from the West CFD bonds. There are $9,763,557 of additional improvement funds remaining within the East CFD bonds for reimbursement of public infrastructure costs during future years. During fiscal 2023, the Company expects to pay approximately $2,816,000 in special taxes. As development continues to occur at TRCC, new owners of land and new lease tenants, through triple net leases, will bear an increasing portion of the assessed special tax. This amount could change in the future based on the amount of bonds outstanding and the amount of taxes paid by others. The assessment of each individual property sold or leased is not determinable at this time because it is based on the current tax rate and assessed value of the property at the time of sale or on its assessed value at the time it is leased to a third-party. Accordingly, the Company was not required to recognize an obligation on March 31, 2023.

Centennial

On April 30, 2019, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors granted final entitlement approval for the Centennial project. On May 15, 2019, Climate Resolve filed an action in Los Angeles Superior Court (the Climate Resolve Action), pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, and the California Planning and Zoning Law, against the County of Los Angeles and the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors (collectively, LA County) concerning LA County’s granting of approvals for the Centennial project, including certification of the final environmental impact report and related findings (Centennial EIR); approval of associated general plan amendments; adoption of associated zoning; adoption of the Centennial Specific Plan; approval of a subdivision map for financing purposes; and adoption of a development agreement, among other approvals (collectively, the Centennial Approvals). Separately, on May 28, 2019, the Center for Biological Diversity (CBD) and the California Native Plant Society (CNPS) filed an action in Los Angeles County Superior Court (the CBD/CNPS Action) against LA County; like the Climate Resolve Action, the CBD/CNPS Action also challenges the Centennial Approvals. The Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Tejon Ranchcorp, and Centennial Founders, LLC are named as real parties-in-interest in both the Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action.

The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action collectively allege that LA County failed to properly follow the procedures and requirements of CEQA and the California Planning and Zoning Law. The Climate Resolve Action and the CBD/CNPS Action have been deemed “related” and have been consolidated for adjudication before the judge presiding over the Climate Resolve Action. The Climate Resolve Action and CBD/CNPS Action seek to invalidate the Centennial Approvals and require LA County to revise the environmental documentation related to the Centennial project. The court held three consolidated hearings for the CBD/CNPS Action and Climate Resolve Action on September 30, 2020, November 13, 2020, and January 8, 2021.

On April 5, 2021 the court issued its decision denying the petition for writ of mandate by CBD/CNPS and granting the petition for writ of mandate filed by Climate Resolve. In granting Climate Resolve’s petition, the court found three specific areas where the EIR for the project was lacking. The court ruled that California’s Cap-and-Trade Program cannot be used as a compliance pathway for mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) impacts for the project and therefore further ruled that additional analysis will be required related to all feasible mitigation of GHG impacts. The court also found that the EIR must provide additional analysis and explanation of how wildland fire risk on lands outside of the project site, posed by on-site ignition sources, is mitigated to less than significant. On April 19, 2021 CBD filed a motion for reconsideration with the court on the denial of their petition for writ of mandate to be granted prevailing party status in the Climate Resolve Action (“Motion for Reconsideration”). The hearing on the Motion for Reconsideration originally scheduled for August 13, 2021, was rescheduled to December 1, 2021.

On November 30, 2021, the Company together with Ranchcorp and Centennial, entered into a Settlement Agreement with Climate Resolve. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement, the Company has agreed: (1) to make Centennial a net zero GHG emissions project through various on-site and off-site measures, including but not limited to installing electric vehicle chargers and establishing and funding incentive programs for the purchase of electric vehicles; (2) to fund certain on-site and off-site fire protection and prevention measures; and (3) to provide annual public reports and create an organization to monitor progress towards these commitments. The foregoing is only a summary of the material terms of the Settlement Agreement and does not purport to be a complete description of the rights and obligations of the parties thereunder and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement. In exchange, Climate Resolve filed a request for dismissal of the Climate Resolve Action with prejudice from the Los Angeles County Superior Court. On December 3, 2021, the Los Angeles Superior Court granted and entered Climate Resolve’s dismissal with prejudice concluding the Climate Resolve Action. On December 1, 2021, the Los Angeles Superior Court continued CBD/CNPS Motion for Reconsideration to January 14, 2022, directing CBD/CNPS to evaluate the Settlement Agreement reached in the Climate Resolve Action to address issues surrounding remedies should CBD be granted prevailing party status in the Climate Resolve Action, and to evaluate the potential to settle or otherwise address CBD’s objections to the Centennial project. To that end, the Company met and conferred twice on January 4, 2022 and January 20, 2022. On January 14, 2022, the Los Angeles County Superior Court heard CBD/CNPS Motion for Reconsideration and issued its decision granting CBD/CNPS prevailing party status in the Climate Resolve Action.

The Los Angeles County Superior Court, or the Court, set a tentative hearing date of February 25, 2022 concerning the entry of final judgment and awarding of appropriate remedies. Upon mutual request of the parties and approval by the Court, the February 25, 2022 hearing date was extended to September 7, 2022. On September 7, 2022, the Parties appeared before the Court concerning the entry of final judgment and the setting of appropriate remedies. The Court upon hearing oral argument ordered the parties to continue to meet and confer for an additional 30 days and continued the September 7th hearing to October 7, 2022. On October 3, 2022, the Court issued an order on the Court’s own continuance to further continue the October 7, 2022 hearing to October 21, 2022. Upon mutual request of the Parties and approval by the Court, the Parties extended the October 21, 2022 hearing date to October 26, 2022. At the October 26th hearing, the Court agreed to: (a) hear the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration as to the successful challenges Climate Resolve prevailed upon within the Climate Resolve Action and ordered the Parties to appear on December 14, 2022 to hear the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration and (b) rule on the entry of final judgment and setting of remedies at a February 17, 2023 hearing date.

At the December 14, 2022 hearing, the Court denied the Company’s Motion for Reconsideration (finding that the Company’s motion failed to support the statutory elements necessary to prevail on such motion). At the February 17, 2023 hearing, the Court took into submission the Parties’ legal briefs and oral arguments. On March 22, 2023, the Court decided in favor of CBD/CNPS when the Judge signed CBD/CNPS’s proposed form of judgment, which included a full rescission of the Centennial project approvals previously issued by Los Angeles County. The Company is considering options to reinstate the project approvals, such as working with Los Angeles County to complete the additional environmental analysis required by the Court’s ruling.

As the Company’s options to reinstate the project approvals remain pending, the monetary value of any adverse decision, if any, cannot be estimated at this time.

Proceedings Incidental to Business

From time to time, the Company is involved in other proceedings incidental to its business, including actions relating to employee claims, real estate disputes, contractor disputes and grievance hearings before labor regulatory agencies.

The outcome of these other proceedings is not predictable. However, based on current circumstances, the Company does not believe that the ultimate resolution of these other proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows, either individually or in the aggregate.

Retirement Benefits [Abstract]

RETIREMENT PLANS

RETIREMENT PLANSThe Company sponsors a defined benefit retirement plan, or Benefit Plan, that covers eligible employees hired prior to February 1, 2007. The benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s five-year final average salary. Contributions are intended to provide for benefits attributable to service both to date and expected to be provided in the future. The Company funds the plan in accordance with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). In April 2017, the Company froze the Benefit Plan as it relates to future benefit accruals for participants. The Company expects to contribute $165,000 to the Benefit Plan in 2023.

Benefit Plan assets consist of equity, debt and short-term money market investment funds. The Benefit Plan’s current investment policy changed during the third quarter of 2018. The policy's strategy seeks to minimize the volatility of the funding ratio. This objective will result in a prescribed asset mix between "return seeking" assets (e.g., stocks) and a bond portfolio (e.g., long duration bonds) according to a pre-determined customized investment strategy based on the Benefit Plan's funded status as the primary input. This path will be used as a reference point as to the mix of assets, which by design will de-emphasize the return seeking portion as the funded status improves. At March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the investment mix was approximately 21% equity, 78% debt, and 1% money market funds. Equity investments consist of a combination of individual equity securities plus value funds, growth funds, large cap funds and international stock funds. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the periodic pension cost is 5.00% in 2023 and in 2022. The expected long-term rate of return on plan assets is 5.00% for both fiscal 2023 and 2022. The long-term rate of return on Benefit Plan assets is based on the historical returns within the plan and expectations for future returns.

Total pension and retirement earnings for the Benefit Plan was as follows:

The Company has a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan, or SERP, to restore to executives designated by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors the full benefits under the pension plan that would otherwise be restricted by certain limitations now imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. The SERP is currently unfunded. In April 2017, the Company froze the SERP as it relates to the accrual of additional benefits.

Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

INVESTMENT IN UNCONSOLIDATED AND CONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES

The Company maintains investments in joint ventures. The Company accounts for its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting unless the venture is a variable interest entity, or VIE, and meets the requirements for consolidation. The Company’s investment in its unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2023 was $36,291,000. Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures was $1,517,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The unconsolidated joint ventures have not been consolidated as of March 31, 2023, because the Company does not control the investments. The Company’s current joint ventures are as follows:

•Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC – Petro Travel Plaza Holdings LLC, or Petro, is an unconsolidated joint venture with TravelCenters of America that develops and manages travel plazas, gas stations, convenience stores, and fast-food restaurants throughout TRCC. The Company has 50% of the voting rights but participates in 60% of all profits and losses. The Company does not control the investment due to having only 50% of the voting rights. The Company's partner is the managing partner and performs all of the day-to-day operations and has significant decision-making authority over key business components such as fuel inventory and pricing at the facilities. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $25,004,000 as of March 31, 2023.

•Majestic Realty Co. – Majestic Realty Co., or Majestic, is a privately-held developer and owner of master planned business parks in the United States. The Company has five active 50/50 joint ventures with Majestic to acquire, develop, manage, and operate industrial real estate at TRCC. The partners have equal voting rights and equally share in the profit and loss of the joint ventures. The Company and Majestic guarantee the performance of all outstanding debt.

•On March 29, 2022, TRC-MRC 5 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of an approximately 446,400 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The construction is financed by a $49,226,000 construction loan that had an outstanding balance of $1,419,000 as of March 31, 2023. The construction loan is individually and collectively guaranteed by the Company and Majestic. In December 2022, the Company contributed land with fair value of $8,501,000 to TRC-MRC5, LLC. The total cost of the land was $2,477,000. The Company recognized profit of $3,012,000 and deferred profit of $3,012,000 after applying the five-step revenue recognition model in accordance with ASC Topic 606 - Revenue From Contracts With Customers and ASC Topic 323, Investments - Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The project is currently under construction and is expected to be completed by the winter of 2023/2024. The joint venture has leased 100% of the rentable space.

•On March 25, 2021, TRC-MRC 4 LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of a 629,274 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. The construction was completed in the fourth quarter of 2022, and the Company has leased 100% of the rentable space. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in March 2023 with a promissory note. The note matures on March 1, 2033, and had an outstanding balance of $62,400,000 as of March 31, 2023. In 2021, the Company contributed land with a fair value of $8,464,000 to TRC-MRC 4, LLC. The total cost of the land was $2,895,000. The Company recognized profit of $2,785,000 and deferred profit of $2,785,000. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $5,760,000.

•In November 2018, TRC-MRC 3, LLC was formed to pursue the development, construction, leasing, and management of a 579,040 square foot industrial building located within TRCC-East. TRC-MRC 3, LLC qualified as a VIE from inception, but the Company is not the primary beneficiary; therefore, it does not consolidate TRC-MRC 3, LLC in its financial statements. The building is 100% leased as of March 31, 2023. In March 2019, the joint venture entered into a promissory note with a financial institution to finance the construction of the building. The note matures on May 1, 2030 and had an outstanding principal balance of $34,281,000 as of March 31, 2023. On April 1, 2019, the Company contributed land with a fair value of $5,854,000 to TRC-MRC 3, LLC in accordance with the limited liability agreement. The Company's investment in this joint venture was $209,000 as of March 31, 2023.

•In August 2016, the Company partnered with Majestic to form TRC-MRC 2, LLC to acquire, lease, and maintain a fully occupied warehouse at TRCC-West. The partnership acquired the 651,909 square foot building for $24,773,000, which was largely financed through a promissory note guaranteed by both partners. The promissory note was refinanced on June 1, 2018 with a $25,240,000 promissory note. The note matures on July 1, 2028 and has an outstanding principal balance of $22,447,000 as of March 31, 2023. The building is 100% leased as of March 31, 2023. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $2,062,000. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company reclassified excess distributions to Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to continue to record equity in earnings as a debit to the investment account and if it were to become positive, the Company would reclassify the liability to an asset. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), the Company will immediately recognize the liability as income.

•In September 2016, TRC-MRC 1, LLC was formed to develop and operate an approximately 480,480 square foot industrial building at TRCC-East. The building is 100% leased as of March 31, 2023. Since its inception, the Company has received excess distributions resulting in a deficit balance in its investment of $1,954,000. In accordance with the applicable accounting guidance, the Company reclassified excess distributions to Other Liabilities within the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to continue to record equity in earnings as a debit to the investment account and if it were to become positive, the Company will reclassify the liability to an asset. If it becomes obvious that any excess distribution may not be returned (upon joint venture liquidation or otherwise), the Company will immediately recognize the liability as income. The joint venture refinanced its construction loan in December 2018 with a mortgage loan. The original balance of the mortgage loan was $25,030,000, of which $22,629,000 was outstanding as of March 31, 2023.

•In February 2022, we formed TRC-MRC Multi I, LLC, to pursue the development, construction, lease-up, and management of approximately 495 multi-family rental units located within TRCC-East. As of March 31, 2023, the Company controlled the joint venture and has consolidated its assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheet. On January 26, 2023, the Company and Majestic entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement, formalizing the purchase of Majestic's interest in this joint venture for $175,000. The entity was dissolved shortly thereafter. The project is currently undergoing final design and engineering of Phase I of the project.

•Rockefeller Joint Ventures – The Company has one joint venture with Rockefeller Group Development Corporation, or Rockefeller. At March 31, 2023, the Company’s equity investment balance in these one joint ventures was $6,835,000.

•TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC was formed in 2013 to develop, own, and manage a net leasable 326,000 square foot outlet center on land at TRCC-East. The Company controls 50% of the voting interests of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC; thus, it does not control the joint venture by voting interest alone. The Company is the named managing member. The managing member’s responsibilities relate to the routine day-to-day activities of TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC. However, all operating decisions, including the setting and monitoring of the budget, leasing, marketing, financing, and selection of the contractor for any construction, are jointly made by both members of the joint venture. Therefore, the Company concluded that both members have significant participating rights that are sufficient to overcome the presumption of the Company controlling the joint venture through it being named the managing member. As a result, the investment in TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC is being accounted for under the equity method. On September 7, 2021, the TRCC/Rock Outlet Center LLC joint venture successfully extended the maturity date of its term note with a financial institution from September 5, 2021 to May 31, 2024. In connection with the loan extension, the joint venture also reduced the outstanding amount by $4,600,000. As of March 31, 2023, the outstanding balance of the term note was $27,432,000. The Company and Rockefeller guarantee the performance of the debt.

•Centennial Founders, LLC – Centennial Founders, LLC, or CFL, is a joint venture with TRI Pointe Homes to pursue the entitlement and development of land that the Company owns in Los Angeles County. As of March 31, 2023, the Company owned 93.32% of CFL.

The Company’s investment balance in its unconsolidated joint ventures differs from its respective capital accounts in the respective joint ventures. The difference represents the difference between the cost basis of assets contributed by the Company and the agreed upon fair value of the assets contributed.

Unaudited condensed statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and condensed balance sheet information of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are as follows:

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Financial Instruments

Financial Instruments

Certain financial instruments are carried on the consolidated balance sheet at cost or amortized cost basis, which approximates fair value due to their short-term and highly liquid nature.  These instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, time deposits, accounts receivable, security deposits held for customers, accounts payable, and other accrued liabilities. The fair value of the notes payable also approximates their carrying value as the interest rates are primarily variable and approximate prevailing market interest rates for similar debt arrangements.

Restricted Cash

Restricted CashRestricted cash is included in Prepaid expenses and other current assets within the Consolidated Balance Sheets and primarily relate to funds held in escrow.
