The company was incorporated in Maryland on March 19, 2024, and spun off from Lennar Corporation in February 2025. Its primary business involves purchasing and developing residential land, then selling finished homesites to homebuilders, particularly Lennar, through option contracts. This model allows homebuilders to control land with less capital upfront, while Millrose generates contractual recurring cash returns. The company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker MRP, with its headquarters in Miami, Florida. As of the latest data, Millrose has a market capitalization of approximately $4.47 billion, with a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.1 and a dividend yield of about 10.4%. The company employs a small team, estimated between 11 and 50 people, and is led by CEO Darren L. Richman, who also co-founded Kennedy Lewis. Financially, Millrose shows strong profitability with a net profit margin of 62.6% and an EBITDA margin of 85.8%. The company's enterprise value stands at around $6.91 billion, with a debt-to-equity ratio of 0.424. Millrose's innovative platform addresses the capital-intensive nature of land development, offering investors exposure to residential real estate with potential for income generation and growth. The company was designed to provide homebuilders with a just-in-time homesite delivery system, enhancing their capital efficiency. With its recent IPO and spin-off, Millrose is positioned to become a key player in the land banking sector.

Darren L. Richman: Thank you, Jesse. Good morning, everyone. Millrose delivered another strong quarter. We grew invested capital boosted recurring AFFO, deepened builder relationships, and expanded the range of solutions our permanent capital platform provides. Demand for what we do has never been higher, even as builders continue to navigate a fourth consecutive year of mortgage rates above 6% elevated incentives, and a full year 2026 delivery guidance moving lower across the largest public builders. In this environment, as we said before, builders are 4 competing objectives simultaneously. Maintaining sales pace through pricing and incentive strategies, protecting profitability in a more competitive selling environment, preserving and growing their future community count, and limiting capital tied up in long duration land ownership. Those priorities have made capital efficiency a necessity and our permanent capital platform was created to respond to that very need. Homebuilders cannot simply stop their production activity because near demand moderates. The communities that they expect to deliver in 2028 and 2029 require land acquisition and development decisions today. The Millrose platform allows builders to continue investing for long term growth while preserving balance sheet flexibility, and improving capital efficiency. We believe this is more than a cyclical to today's market. It reflects a structural evolution in how builders think about capital allocation. That evolution is playing out visibly across the sector.
