To Our  Valued  Shareholders

Gregory S. Bielli
President & 
Chief Executive Officer

20 13  was a year o f  g rowth, and 

a year of transition for Tejon Ranch Company.  The 
growth was evident in several places.  We began 
construction on The Outlets at Tejon, the $90 million 
outlet retail center we’re developing in partnership with 
The Rockefeller Group.  It is slated to open in August, 
and at the time of this writing, everything is on track 
in terms of construction and leasing.  Interest in the 
center is very strong from both a retailer and consumer 
point of view, and we are confident it will open to 
great crowds of shoppers.

With the filing of our application with Kern County, 
we also initiated the formal entitlement process for a 
third master planned community on Tejon Ranch.   
Referred to in the planning documents as the  
Grapevine Development Community, the approximate 
8,000-acre mixed use community is planned for the 
area of the ranch located along both sides of Interstate 
5, adjacent to and just south of the Tejon Ranch  
Commerce Center.  It will consist of 12,000 residen-
tial units and 10.7 million square feet of commercial, 
industrial, retail and institutional space.  Designed as a 
series of villages connected by an extensive trail system, 
the new community will emphasize and embody sus-
tainability—from design and construction to the type 
of lifestyle residents will enjoy.

In anticipation of Grapevine, and to serve other needs 
on the Ranch, we solidified our water position in 2013 
with the purchase of water rights to nearly 6,700 acre 
feet of guaranteed water owned by the Nickel Family, 
LLC.  Given the tight water environment in California, 
we’ve made similar acquisitions through the years in an 
effort to build our water assets for both internal use 
and investment purposes.

Late last year, we also received the final permit needed 
to clear the way for the eventual construction of Tejon 
Mountain Village.  We’ve been working diligently with 
our partners from DMB Pacific to finalize a develop-
ment and phasing plan for the community.

2013 was also a year of transition, evidenced by the 
fact that I’m writing this as your new president and 
Chief Executive Officer.  Early in the year, Bob Stine 
announced that he would be retiring at the end of 
2013.  His 17-year tenure at the helm of Tejon Ranch 
Company is the longest in Company history.  In a 
“what have you done for me lately” world, Bob had the 
unenviable task of transforming a company that was 
primarily focused on ranching and farming into one 
that was prepared and positioned to create long term 
shareholder value.  I can say without a doubt, he did 
his job very well.

I am proud and humbled to follow in his footsteps.   
As we made the transition at the end of the year and as 
Bob handed over the reigns of the Company to me, we 
had a chance to sit down and talk about his experiences 
and impressions over the last 17 years of running the 
Company, as well as the outlook for the future.  I’d like 
to take the remaining pages of this Annual Report to 
share that conversation with you.

Thank you for your confidence and support.  May 
2014 be a year of growth and prosperity for us all.

In the late 1990s, Tejon Ranch made 
the strategic decision to divest itself 
of its cattle operation, choosing to use 
the capital necessary to operate such 
a business in its real estate assets 
instead. By leasing its land to outside 
ranchers, Tejon has realized a more 
stable income stream less subject to the 
swings in revenue inherent in operating 
a cattle business.

Almonds and pistachios continue to 
provide significant revenue for Tejon 
Ranch’s agribusiness operation. World-
wide demand for these high-margin 
crops continues to grow.

In addition to almonds and pistachios, 
Tejon Ranch also devotes substantial 
acreage to the growing of wine grapes. 
While most of the grapes are grown for 
major wine producers in California, 
Tejon Ranch is planning on producing 
and marketing its own estate wine.

Questi ons & Answers   

with Greg Bielli and Bob Stine—

Greg Bielli

Bob Stine

Gre g Bielli:   Bob, when you arrived at Tejon Ranch in 
1996, the Company was very different than it is today. Can 
you describe Tejon Ranch Company 1996 versus Tejon Ranch 
Company 2013?

Bob Stine:  It’s a very different company.  In 1996 it 
was an agri-business company on the American Stock 
Exchange with very little trading volume.  The focus 
of the Company was principally on the cattle business 
and its farming activity.  Today it’s a New York Stock 
Exchange company, with significantly higher trading 
volume.  The Company now is focused on its land, its 
real estate assets.  Farming is still an important com-
ponent, but the Company has gotten heavily involved 
in the water business, more active in oil and gas, and 
is beginning to develop some of its real estate assets. 
Its role in the cattle business is now as a lessor, with 
no capital investment involved and with an income 
stream that’s about the same as when we were actively 
involved in running cattle.  The Company and Board 
of Directors are now much more real estate-oriented, 
as opposed to 17 years ago. 

Gre g Bielli:   When the Board hired you, they gave you 
a specific task: transform the company into an organization 
that could unlock the value inherent in the land.  How did you 
go about accomplishing that?

Bob Stine:   The first several months were spent 
trying to understand the land.  I spent a lot of time 
out of the office with different managers, getting out 
to different parts of the ranch, physically seeing what it 
was like and learning about the different businesses we 
were in.  I determined fairly quickly, that from a long-
range point of view, we really didn’t want to be in the 
cattle business.  Considering the money tied up owning 
the cattle, the risks of raising cattle, feeding the cattle, 
selling the cattle and so forth, it didn’t make good 
business sense.  So, I took a number of months just to 
get to understand the land and the company itself and 
then we went about developing and building a business 

plan.  That began, obviously, with an annual budget, 
but also included a five-year plan focused on where and 
how we could unlock the inherent value in the land. 

Gre g Bi elli:  What do you think are the biggest chal-
lenges associated with doing business in California?  And how 
do those obstacles impact and influence value creation, and/or 
could these obstacles really ultimately be opportunities for the 
Company?

Bo b St ine:  They’re definitely both—obstacles and 
opportunities.  In California, getting your land from 
an existing “raw” condition to having it zoned and 
permitted to be able to build something or to use it—
to put it to beneficial use—is extremely complicated.  I 
think it’s made even more challenging for Tejon Ranch 
Company because, as the largest private land owner in 
the state, we’ve become a large target—a bulls eye for 
those who oppose any potential development.  The 
obstacles from a local, regional, and state standpoint, 
as well as potential federal issues relating to the clean 
water act, endangered species act or other kinds of 
regulations, make land entitlement extremely compli-
cated, very expensive, and an extraordinarily lengthy 
process.  It’s taken us many, many years to get it done. 
Given how difficult it is to entitle land in California, 
the opportunity resides in the fact that we already have 
several of our potential community or project areas 
either fully entitled or are well under way.  That means 
we are that much closer to unlocking the value in the 
land.  Many real estate investors and home builders 
don’t want to—or can’t—take the risk and the time to 
invest in getting the land zoned.  As a result, Califor-
nia’s regulatory environment creates a scarcity of land 
that can be used to accommodate the state’s future 
growth.  Even though there’s a big push for urban 
infill, and a certain amount of growth will certainly 
occur there, and it should, not everyone wants to live 
in dense, urban areas.  Having entitled, or soon-to-be-
entitled land, in a state where buildable land is scarce, 
is a real opportunity for Tejon Ranch.

In 2013, Tejon Ranch continued to in-
vest in its water infrastructure.  Even 
in the midst of drought conditions in 
California, Tejon Ranch has the water 
resources necessary for current and 
future use.

Continuing its real estate develop-
ment efforts in 2013, Tejon Ranch 
initiated the formal entitlement 
process for the Grapevine Develop-
ment Area.  This 8,000-acre 
master planned community will 
provide much needed housing for the 
thousands of employees at the Tejon 
Ranch Commerce Center.

Tejon Ranch Co.  Annual Report 2011  Shareholders Letter

We call the Tejon Ranch Commerce 
Center “California’s Favorite 
Stopping Center” for good reason. 
Million of motorists stop there 
every year.  In fact, the Starbucks 
at TRCC is one of the top five in 
the country.

The Pastoria Energy Facility is a 
great example of how Tejon Ranch 
monetizes it land assets.  The land 
lease on this 31-acre site produces 
millions of dollars in annual  
revenue.

Gre g Bielli:   Bob tell us about your first day in the  
office.  What was it like?

Bob Stine:  Well, it was both exciting and awkward. 
I arrived in my dark blue suit, that I had been wearing 
for the previous 20-some years in business, with a crisp 
white shirt and tie and I think the employees wondered 
who the heck I was, and did I realize that I was at a 
ranch?

Gre g Bielli:   What do you consider to be the highlights 
of your seventeen year career at Tejon Ranch? 

Bob Stine:  I think one would be the donation of 
five hundred acres of our land for a new national cem-
etery.  I think it was great the Company had the ability 
to do that, given the amount of land that we own, and 
it was a good thing from a patriotic standpoint.  It also 
demonstrated the values of the Company in that we 
donated the land rather than trying to sell it.  Another 
would be the conservation agreement with the environ-
mental resource groups that proved to be an important, 
major step in helping to unlock the value in the land.  
We could move forward instead of spending years and 
years, maybe decades, in litigation with environmental 
groups.  Additionally, I think attracting partners who 
were willing to invest their money in our land, in both 
our commercial and residential developments, would 
also be a highlight.

Gre g Bielli:   What do you think is the biggest miscon-
ception that people and/or investors have about Tejon Ranch?

Bob Stine:  People in general, particularly those 
who are driving back and forth on either a frequent 
or infrequent basis on Interstate 5 over the Grapevine, 
probably have little or no idea what Tejon Ranch is.  
To them, it’s a sign on the Grapevine, they can see 
some cattle, and now they can see development at the 

base of the Grapevine, but I doubt the average person 
knows very much about the company or the land and 
its history.  I think investors have developed a much 
better understanding about the Company and its long-
run investment potential, because over the last ten to 
fifteen years, starting with the Third Avenue Fund in 
1997, we’ve attracted a lot of sophisticated institutional 
investors.  We have major investors who are very keen 
on our oil potential and others on the land value po-
tential.  I think it’s sometimes the smaller investor who 
doesn’t have the resources to do the necessary home-
work or research that may have some misconceptions 
about the Ranch, but I think the sophisticated ones 
who have made major investments are probably pretty 
knowledgeable about the company.

Gre g Bi elli:   Bob, in your seventeen years at Tejon 
Ranch, you have successfully put the company into a position 
where it can create long-term shareholder value, now that 
you’ve moved away from day-to-day management, but are 
still remaining on the Board of Directors, what do you see to 
be the future of Tejon Ranch from a Board perspective?

Bo b St ine:  I think that my years as the CEO  
could potentially be described as the entitlement years; 
getting a business plan in place, putting the financial 
house in order, and negotiating a conservation agree-
ment that allowed us to move forward with entitlement 
on up to 30,000 acres.  Some of it’s completed and 
some of it’s coming down the home stretch.  From the 
Board’s perspective, Greg, I think you are arriving at 
the beginning of the execution stage.  We can see that 
with The Outlets at Tejon currently under construction 
and opening in August; we are also getting closer to 
an actual development plan on Mountain Village, and 
continuing to entitle the Grapevine and Centennial ar-
eas.  We’re definitely in a transition from the entitlement 
phase to the execution phase.  It will be an exciting time 
for our shareholders and the Board of Directors and 
I’m confident in your ability to lead that process.

Oil and gas production-and 
revenue-has risen sharply in the 
last decade.  Tejon Ranch is also 
seeing a marked increase in oil 
exploration activities.

Gre g Bielli:  Finally, Bob, what advice would you give 
me as the incoming CEO? 

Bo b St ine:  Tell us about your background and experience 
and how you believe it’s prepared you for this role?

Bob Stine: You’ve got a great team of people who 
are committed to the business plan the Company 
has developed.  My guess is that during the execu-
tion phase, you may need to bring in some additional 
experienced real estate people and I think you’re the 
right person to find those people.  You’re going to find 
full support from your Board of Directors, and as you 
personally transition from a private company to a pub-
lic one, just as I did 17 years ago, I would be diligent 
in making sure you keep your Board informed so they 
can provide the guidance and oversight the sharehold-
ers expect.  And I hope you enjoy the journey as much 
as I did. 

Bob Stine:  Greg, I think the Board made an excel-
lent choice in hiring you to be the next CEO of Tejon Ranch 
Company.  What attracted you to the position and the Company 
in the first place?

Gre g Bielli:  There are a number of reasons why 
I thought becoming CEO of Tejon Ranch Company 
would be the perfect job for me and why the Company 
would be an ideal organization to work for, beginning 
first with the diversity of its operations.  From farming 
and oil production to real estate development, Tejon 
offered a tremendous professional opportunity.  The 
second reason would have to be the people.  The Board 
members who handled the search did so in a very 
professional manner, and the many welcoming Tejon 
staff members I met through the process impressed 
me with their talents and character.  I was also frankly 
motivated by the opportunity, at this point in my  
career, to establish my own legacy by continuing to 
build upon Tejon Ranch Company’s rich legacy and 
heritage, both as a publicly traded company and as a 
California landmark.

Gre g Bi elli:  I have been very fortunate in my 
career to have many people help me along the way and 
put me in positions, both in the private and public 
sectors, to learn and grow.  Professionally, my 25 years 
in real estate, principally developing master planned 
communities, has exposed me to many aspects of enti-
tling and executing major real estate projects.  This will 
be beneficial in regard to the entitlement efforts that 
are still before us at the ranch, as well as those develop-
ment projects we’re in the process of executing—the 
Tejon Ranch Commerce Center and The Outlets at 
Tejon—or, in the case of Tejon Mountain Village, 
those fully entitled developments we’re in the process 
of positioning for future execution.  With my extensive 
public policy experience, from being an elected official 
to participating in many public policy issues over the 
years, I’ll be able to help the Company address those 
problematic, complicated issues that are only becoming 
increasingly more difficult to resolve.

Bo b St ine:  You’ve only been here a few short months, but 
what do you envision to be the short and long-range future of 
Tejon Ranch?

Gre g Bi elli:  In the short term, we need to  
continue to focus on completing The Outlets at Tejon, 
expand the opportunities at the Commerce Center, 
invest in our agricultural business, support our oil  
and gas lessees, and entitle our remaining communi-
ties.  Long term, we’ll continue our investment in water 
resources, expand and execute our real estate oppor-
tunities, support our existing team members and look 
to expand our talent pool for the future.  Bottom line, 
we’ll always be looking for opportunities to grow our 
brand and our business so that we’re continually  
creating long-term value in the Company for the  
benefit of our shareholders.
