The unaudited consolidated financial statements, and the accompanying notes, are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, ~~2019,~~2020, included in Stratus Properties Inc.’s (Stratus) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019~~2020 (Stratus ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K) filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission. The information furnished herein reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods reported and consist of normal recurring adjustments.

Operating results for the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, ~~2020.~~2021. In particular, Stratus recognized a $22.9 million gain on the ~~impact~~sale of ~~the COVID-19 pandemic intensified late~~assets in the first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 and ~~has~~the COVID-19 pandemic continued ~~during and subsequent~~ to ~~the second quarter of 2020.~~affect Stratus' operations. As a result, this interim period, as well as future interim periods ~~in 2020,~~while the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, will not be comparable to past performance or indicative of future performance.

The preparation of Stratus’ consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions, including those related to the potential impacts arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and related government actions, that affect the amounts reported in these financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. As the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to evolve, and the extent of its impact cannot be determined with certainty, estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects require increased judgement. Stratus’ assessment of the future magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and related economic disruption, as well as other factors could result in material changes to the estimates used in and material impacts to Stratus’ consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods.

~~Terminated Block 21 Sale.~~ Block 21 is Stratus’ wholly owned mixed-use real estate development and entertainment business in downtown Austin, Texas that contains the 251-room W Austin Hotel and is home to Austin City Limits Live at the Moody Theater, a 2,750-seat entertainment venue that serves as the location for the filming of Austin City Limits, the longest running music series in American television history. Block 21 also includes Class A office space, retail space and the 3TEN ACL Live entertainment venue and business.

On December 9, 2019, Stratus entered into definitive agreements to sell Block 21 to Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (Ryman) for $275 million. Ryman deposited $15.0 million in earnest money to secure its performance under the agreements governing the sales. As the proposed sale represented a strategic shift for Stratus, the assets and liabilities of Block 21 were classified as held for sale - discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet of Stratus' 2019 Form 10-K. On May 21, 2020, Ryman delivered a termination letter, which was agreed to and accepted by Stratus, terminating the agreements to sell Block 21 and authorizing the release of Ryman's $15.0 million in earnest money to Stratus. During the second quarter of 2020, Stratus recorded the $15.0 million as operating income, used $13.8 million of the $15.0 million earnest money to pay down its Comerica Bank revolving credit facility and used the remaining $1.2 million for Block 21 debt service and required monthly reserves. As a result of the termination of the agreements to sell Block 21, Stratus has concluded that such assets and liabilities no longer qualified as held for sale. The carrying amounts as of December 31, 2019, of Block 21’s major classes of assets and liabilities, which were previously classified as held for sale - discontinued operations in the consolidated balance sheet of Stratus' 2019 Form 10-K follow (in thousands):

COVID-19 Pandemic Impact. Since January 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused substantial disruption in international and U.S. economies and markets. The World Health Organization designated the COVID-19 outbreak a pandemic in mid-March 2020. The impacts of the pandemic are expected to continue during 2021 but are anticipated to lessen through the year. The pandemic has resulted in government restrictions of various degrees and effective at various times, including stay-at-home orders, bans on travel, limitations on the size of gatherings, limitations on the operations of businesses deemed non-essential, closures of work facilities, schools, public buildings and businesses, cancellation of events (including entertainment events, conferences and meetings), quarantines and social distancing measures. ~~Beginning~~Effective March 10, 2021, the Governor of Texas issued an executive order lifting the mask mandate in ~~mid-June 2020, there have been reports~~Texas and increasing the capacity of ~~increasing numbers of new COVID-19 cases throughout~~all businesses and facilities in the ~~United States,~~state to 100 percent. Businesses in Texas may still limit capacity or implement additional safety protocols at their own discretion. While Stratus is ramping up its hotel and entertainment operations, it will continue to increase capacity gradually and safely and in ~~particular, Texas, resulting in some governments extending or re-imposing restrictions. The pandemic and responses to it have also caused a steep increase in unemployment in the U.S.~~compliance with all applicable regulations. As a result, the pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant adverse impact on Stratus' business and ~~operations. As mentioned above, Stratus' previously disclosed transaction to sell Block 21 was terminated by Ryman as a result of~~operations, particularly on the ~~capital markets~~hotel and economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, Stratus is continuing to defer progress on development projects pending improvements in health and market conditions, but Stratus continues to advance its land planning, engineering and permitting activities.entertainment segments. Because the pandemic is unprecedented in recent history, and its severity, duration and future economic consequences are difficult to predict, Stratus cannot predict its future impact on the company with any certainty.

Stratus’ revenue, operating income and cash flow in its hotel and entertainment segments were adversely impacted beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 ~~were more adversely impacted in~~and through the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021, and are expected to continue to be adversely impacted ~~beyond second-quarter 2020.~~during 2021, although the adverse impacts are currently anticipated to lessen through the year. For example, while the hotel has remained open throughout the pandemic, average occupancy in the ~~second~~first quarter of ~~2020~~2021 was 12 percent. Stratus' entertainment venue, ACL Live, remains closed. All second-quarter 2020 scheduled events at ACL Live were either rescheduled or cancelled as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Additionally, Stratus' smaller capacity venue, 3TEN ACL Live, hosted only 15 events in second-quarter 2020.

~~As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of Stratus’ retail leasing tenants, other than grocery and liquor stores, closed or were operating at significantly reduced capacity beginning late~~21 percent, compared to 50 percent in the first quarter of ~~2020 and continuing during and subsequent to~~2020. However, the ~~second~~average occupancy in the first quarter of ~~2020. Beginning~~2021 was higher than the average occupancy in April 2020, Stratus agreed, generally, to 90-day base rent deferrals with a majority of these tenants. The deferred rents are scheduled to be collected over a 12-month or 24-month period starting in January 2021. These rent deferrals resulted in a reduction of scheduled base rent collections of 23 percent during the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, most of Stratus’ retail tenants had reopened. At its multi-family properties, Stratus has granted rent deferral accommodations on a case-by-case basis, which during the secondfourth quarter of 2020, ~~resulted in~~which was 13 percent. Stratus' entertainment venues, ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live, hosted a ~~reduction~~limited number of ~~scheduled rent collections of less than 1 percent of contractual rents,~~events with ~~no material decline in occupancy. In the aggregate, Stratus’ second-quarter retail and multi-family rent collections were 10 percent less than scheduled rents.~~restricted capacity during first-quarter 2021.

Stratus assessed its rents receivable for potential credit losses as of June 30, 2020, and recorded a $1.4 million charge for estimated uncollectible rents receivable and unrealizable deferred costs. The following is an updateRefer to ~~Stratus' revenue recognition accounting policy included in~~ Note 1 of ~~its 2019~~the Stratus 2020 Form 10-K. Stratus recognizes its rental income on a straight-line basis based on the terms of its signed leases with tenants. Recoveries from tenants for taxes, insurance and other commercial property operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period the related costs are incurred. If upon, or subsequent to, lease commencement, the assessed collectability of lease payments is not probable, recognized lease income is limited to collected lease payments. In addition, any previously recognized rents receivable and deferred lease costs associated with that lease are charged to cost of sales in the period that assessed collectability is considered not probable.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act) was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The CARES Act provides retroactive tax provisions and other stimulus measures to affected companies including the ability to carry back net operating losses, raising the limitation on the deductibility of interest expense, technical corrections to accelerate tax depreciation for qualified improvement property, and delaying the payment of employer payroll taxes. On April 22, 2020, Stratus received a $4.0 million loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP loan) of the CARES Act. The PPP loan bears interest at 1 percent and matures April 15, 2022, except for the portion that may be forgiven. The proceeds from the loan must be used to retain workers and maintain payroll or make mortgage interest payments, lease payments and utility payments. Refer to Note 810-K for further discussion of ~~income tax benefits.~~the pandemic's impacts on Stratus' business.

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair value accounting guidance includes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 inputs) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 inputs).

The carrying value for certain Stratus financial instruments (i.e., cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts payable and accrued liabilities) approximates fair value because of their short-term nature and generally negligible credit losses.

A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of Stratus' other financial instruments follows (in thousands):

Interest rate swap agreement 190 190 114 114

~~Interest Rate Cap and Swap Agreements.~~ In September 2019, a Stratus subsidiary paid $24 thousand to enter into an interest rate cap agreement, which caps the maximum London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) at 3.0 percent, on a total notional amount of $75.0 million (the principal amount of The Santal loan). The interest rate cap agreement provides that the Stratus subsidiary will collect the difference between 3.0 percent and one-month LIBOR if one-month LIBOR is greater than 3.0 percent (refer to Note 6 in the Stratus 2019 Form 10-K for further discussion of The Santal loan). The interest rate cap agreement terminates on October 5, 2021.

The interest rate swap agreement with Comerica Bank was entered into in 2013, is effective through December 31, 2020, and has a fixed interest rate of 2.3 percent compared to the variable rate based on the one-month LIBOR. As

~~Table of Contents~~

of June 30, 2020, the agreement had a notional amount of $15.0 million, which will amortize to $14.8 million by the end of the agreement, and as of December 31, 2019, the agreement had a notional amount of $15.3 million.

The interest rate cap and swap agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting so changes in the agreements' fair values are recorded in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Stratus uses an interest rate pricing model that relies on market observable inputs such as LIBOR to measure the fair value of both agreements. Stratus also evaluated the counterparty credit risk associated with both agreements, which is considered a Level 3 input, but did not consider such risk to be significant. Therefore, the interest rate cap and swap agreements are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Debt. Stratus' debt is recorded at cost and is not actively traded. Fair value is estimated based on discounted future expected cash flows at estimated current market interest rates. Accordingly, Stratus' debt is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt does not represent the amounts that will ultimately be paid upon the maturities of the loans.

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, Stratus had ~~$25.9~~$25.8 million available under its $60.0 million Comerica Bank credit facility, with a $150 thousand ~~of letters~~letter of credit committed against the credit facility. ~~Effective~~

In January 2021, Stratus entered into an amendment to the Lantana Place construction loan in which Stratus' Lantana Place subsidiary was granted a waiver of the debt service coverage ratio covenant until September 30, 2021, at which point the ratio is measured by reference to the three-month period then ended, and subsequently builds each quarter until measured by reference to the 12-month period ending June 30, 2022, and then on a trailing 12-month period for each quarter thereafter. As part of the January 2021 amendment, Stratus repaid $2.0 million in principal on the Lantana Place construction loan.

In March 2021, Stratus exercised its option to extend the New Caney land loan for an additional 12 months from March 8, 2021, to March 8, 2022, which required a principal payment of $0.5 million.

In April ~~14, 2020,~~2021, Stratus ~~and Comerica Bank agreed~~entered into an amendment to ~~modify the Comerica Bank credit facility~~The Santal loan to (i) extend the maturity date ~~of the credit facility~~ from ~~June 29, 2020,~~October 5, 2022, to September 27, 2020, and (ii) revise the definition of LIBOR to provide for an increase in the LIBOR floor from zero percent to one percent. On June 12, 2020, Stratus entered into a further amendment to its credit facility agreement with Comerica BankOctober 5, 2024 (and remove two options to extend the maturity date for an additional 12 months); (ii) revise the interest rate from LIBOR (or, if applicable, a replacement rate) plus 2.85 percent, with a 4.80 percent floor, to LIBOR (or, if applicable, a replacement rate) plus 3.25 percent, with a 3.40 percent floor; (iii) eliminate the requirement that Stratus' Santal subsidiary make minimum amortization payments beginning in November 2022; (iv) extend the period during which The Santal loan may not be prepaid from April 2020 to June 2022; and (v) revise certain events or circumstances that would qualify as an event of default or violate the ~~facility to September 27, 2022.~~

~~During second-quarter 2020, Stratus entered into amendments to~~prohibition on conveyances under the Lantana Place and West Killeen Market construction loans in which Stratus was granted waivers of the debt service coverage ratio covenants for the quarters needed such that it believes that it will be able to remain in compliance if rent payments do not further deteriorate materially as currently anticipated.applicable provisions.

In ~~January~~April 2020, Stratus received a $4.0 million loan under the ~~Kingwood Place construction~~Paycheck Protection Program (PPP loan) of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (the CARES Act), which was signed into law on March 27, 2020. The PPP loan ~~was modified to increase~~accrues interest at one percent and will mature on April 15, 2022, except for the portion that may be forgiven. The proceeds from the loan ~~amount by $2.5 million~~were to ~~a total of $35.4 million.

7. PROFIT PARTICIPATION INCENTIVE PLAN

In July 2018, the ~~Stratus~~ Compensation Committee of ~~the~~Stratus' Board of Directors (the Committee) unanimously adopted the Stratus Profit Participation Incentive Plan (the Plan), which provides participants with economic incentives tied to the success of the development projects designated by the Committee as approved projects under the Plan. Estimates related to the awards may change over time as a result of differences between projected and actual development progress and costs, market conditions and the timing of capital transactions or valuation events. Refer to Note 8 of the Stratus ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K for further discussion.

During ~~second-quarter~~first-quarter 2021, Stratus added $0.2 million to project development costs and charged $0.5 million to general and administrative expense related to the Plan. In March 2021, Stratus granted 53,411 stock-settled RSUs with a grant-date value of $1.5 million, based on Stratus' stock price on the date of issuance, under the Plan for West Killeen Market, which reached a valuation event under the Plan in October 2020. Stratus transferred the $1.2 million accrued liability balance under the Plan for West Killeen Market to capital in excess of par value and will amortize the $0.3 million balance of the grant date value with a charge to general and administrative expenses and a credit to capital in excess of par value over the three-year vesting period of the RSUs. The sale of The Saint Mary in January 2021, was a capital transaction under the Plan. The accrued liability under the Plan related to The Saint Mary project totaled $2.2 million at March 31, 2021, and is expected to be paid in cash to eligible participants no later than March 15, 2022.

During first-quarter 2020, Stratus recorded a ~~$0.4 million increase~~$49 thousand reduction to the accrued liability for the Plan of which ~~$0.2 million increased~~$4 thousand reduced project development costs and ~~$0.2 million increased~~$45 thousand reduced general ~~and~~ administrative expenses. During second-quarter 2019, Stratus accrued $0.2 million to project development costs and $0.2 million in general and administrative expenses related to the Plan. During the first six months of 2020, Stratus accrued $0.2 million to project development costs and $0.2 million in general and administrative expense related to the Plan. During the first six months of 2019, Stratus accrued $0.4 million to project development costs and $0.5 million in general and administrative expense related to the Plan. The accrued liability for the Plan totaled ~~$2.9~~$5.7 million at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, and ~~$2.5~~$6.2 million at December 31, ~~2019~~2020 (included in other liabilities). As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, 0 amounts had been paid in cash to participants under the Plan.

8. INCOME TAXES

Stratus’ accounting policy for and other information regarding its income taxes is further described in Notes 1 and 7 in the Stratus ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K.

Stratus had deferred tax assets (net of deferred tax ~~liabilities)~~liabilities and valuation allowances) totaling ~~$9.6 million~~$44 thousand at ~~June 30, 2020~~March 31, 2021, and ~~$12.3~~December 31, 2020. Stratus' deferred tax assets had valuation allowances totaling $11.9 million at March 31, 2021, and $10.7 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. In evaluating the recoverability of the deferred tax assets, management considered available positive and negative evidence, giving greater weight to the recent current cumulative losses and uncertainty regarding projected future financial results. Upon a change in facts and circumstances, management may conclude that sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease in, the valuation allowance in the future, which would favorably impact Stratus' results of operations. Stratus’ future results of operations may be negatively impacted by an inability to realize a tax benefit for future tax losses or for items that will generate additional deferred tax ~~assets.~~assets that are not more likely than not to be realized.

The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate of 1 percent for the first ~~six~~three months of 2021 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent was primarily attributable to a forecasted taxable loss for 2021, noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries, the presence of a full valuation allowance against U.S. Federal deferred tax assets, and the Texas state margin tax. The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate of 54 percent for the first three months of 2020 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent, was primarily attributable to the CARES Act, which ~~among other impacts, allows~~allowed Stratus to ~~carry back~~carryback losses to 2017 when the U.S. corporate tax rate was 35 percent, among other impacts, resulting in a ~~discrete~~first-quarter 2020 tax benefit of ~~$1.4~~$1.3 million, and the Texas state margin tax. The difference between Stratus' consolidated effective income tax rate for the first six months of 2019 and the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate of 21 percent, was primarily attributable to the Texas state margin tax and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act's executive compensation deductibility limitation.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

In Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A), “we,” “us,” “our” and "Stratus" refer to Stratus Properties Inc. and all entities owned or controlled by Stratus Properties Inc. You should read the following discussion in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes, related MD&A and discussion of our business and properties included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2019 (2019~~2020 (2020 Form 10-K) filed with the United States (U.S.) Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Form 10-Q. The results of operations reported and summarized below are not necessarily indicative of future operating results, and future results could differ materially from those anticipated in forward-looking statements (refer to “Cautionary Statement” ~~and Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors"~~ herein and Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” of our ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K for further discussion). In particular, the ~~impact~~impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic ~~intensified late in the first quarter of 2020 and has continued during and subsequent~~continue to ~~the second quarter of 2020.~~affect our operations. As a result, our performance during this interim period, as well as future interim periods ~~in 2020,~~while the COVID-19 pandemic is ongoing, will not be comparable to past performance or indicative of future performance. ~~Stratus expects~~We expect continued uncertainty in ~~its~~our business and the global economy as a result of the duration and intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic and its related effects.All subsequent references to “Notes” refer to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) located in Part I, Item 1. “Financial Statements” herein, unless otherwise stated.

We are a diversified real estate company with headquarters in Austin, Texas. We are engaged primarily in the acquisition, entitlement, development, management ~~operation~~ and sale of commercial, and multi-family and single-family residential real estate properties, real estate leasing, and the operation of hotel and entertainment businesses located in the Austin, Texas area, and other select, fast-growing markets in Texas. We generate revenues and cash flows from the sale of our developed properties, rental income from our leased properties and from our hotel and entertainment operations. Refer to Note 9 for further discussion of our operating ~~segments.~~segments and “Business Strategy” below for a discussion of our business strategy.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Our portfolio consists of approximately 1,700 acres of undeveloped acreage and acreage under development for commercial and multi-family and single-family residential projects, ~~plus~~as well as several completed ~~retail~~commercial and residential projects. Our W Austin Hotel and our ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live entertainment venues are located in downtown Austin at our Block 21 property and are central to the city's world-renowned, vibrant music scene.

Our primary business objective is to create value for stockholders by methodically developing and enhancing the value of our properties and then selling them ~~profitably.~~or holding them for lease. Our full cycle development program of acquiring properties, securing and maintaining development entitlements, developing and stabilizing properties, and ~~then preparing~~selling them ~~for sale~~ or ~~refinancing~~holding them as part of our leasing operations is a key element of our strategy. We ~~currently have projects~~may also seek to refinance properties, in ~~certain~~order to benefit from the increased value of ~~these stages as described below in “Development Activities - Current Residential Activities” and “Development Activities - Current Commercial Activities.”~~the property, from lower interest rates or for other reasons.

We believe that Austin and other select, fast-growing markets in Texas continue to be ~~desirable~~attractive locations. Many of our developments are in locations where development approvals have historically been subject to regulatory constraints, which has made it difficult to obtain or change entitlements. Our Austin properties, which are located in desirable areas with significant regulatory constraints, are entitled and have utility capacity for full buildout. As a result, we believe that through strategic planning, development and marketing, we can maximize and fully realize their value.

Our development plans require significant additional capital, which we may pursue through joint ventures or other arrangements. Our business strategy requires us to rely on cash flow from operations and debt financing as our primary sources of funding for our liquidity needs. We have also, from time to time, relied on project-level equity financing of our subsidiaries. We have formed strategic relationships as part of our overall strategy for particular development projects and may enter into other similar arrangements in the future.

In January 2021, we sold The Saint Mary, a 240-unit luxury garden-style apartment project in the Circle C community, for $60.0 million. After closing costs and payment of the outstanding construction loan, the sale generated net proceeds of approximately $34 million. After establishing a reserve for remaining costs of the partnership, we received $20.9 million from the subsidiary in connection with the sale and $12.9 million of the net proceeds were distributed to the noncontrolling interest owners. We recognized a gain on the sale of $22.9 million ($16.2 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the first quarter of 2021.

Table of Contents

Our Board of Directors (Board) has authorized an in-depth exploration of a conversion from a C-Corporation to a real estate investment trust (REIT). We have engaged financial, tax, accounting and legal advisors, and the Board will closely monitor and evaluate the findings to ultimately determine if conversion to a REIT is in the best interest of our stockholders. If the Board determines to move forward, we expect the conversion would occur no earlier than 2022. We believe that the REIT conversion would require consent from our major lenders and amendments to our major debt agreements, among other third-party consents. We also expect to seek stockholder approval to implement provisions in our organizational documents consistent with a public REIT structure, if the Board ultimately determines that a REIT conversion is in stockholders’ best interests.

OVERVIEW OF THE IMPACTS OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

Since January 2020, the COVID-19 ~~outbreak~~pandemic has caused substantial disruption in international and U.S. economies and markets, intensifying in the latter part of the first quarter of 2020 and continuing during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2020, and its impact is expected to continue beyond the third quarter of 2020. On March 11, 2020, themarkets. The World Health Organization designated the COVID-19 outbreak a ~~pandemic.~~pandemic in mid-March 2020. The impacts of the pandemic are expected to continue during 2021 but are anticipated to lessen through the year. The pandemic has resulted in government restrictions of various degrees and effective at various times, ~~including stay-at-home orders, bans~~resulting in limitations on

~~Table~~ normal daily activities for individuals and capacity restrictions and, in some cases, closures for many businesses. Effective March 10, 2021, the Governor of ~~Contents~~Texas issued an executive order lifting the mask mandate in Texas and increasing the capacity of all businesses and facilities in the state to 100 percent. Businesses in Texas may still limit capacity or implement additional safety protocols at their own discretion. While we are ramping up our hotel and entertainment operations, we will continue to increase capacity gradually and safely and in compliance with all applicable regulations. We are optimistic about a post-pandemic recovery. We are encouraged by indications that the vaccines have been effective and believe they will help increase consumer confidence and deliver a resurgence in travel and live entertainment.

Impacts on our Business

~~travel, limitations on the size of gatherings, limitations on the operations of businesses deemed non-essential, closures of work facilities, schools, public buildings~~The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and businesses, cancellation of events (including entertainment events, conferences and meetings), quarantines and social distancing measures. For example, on March 6, 2020, the annual South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas was cancelled, on July 1, 2020, the annual Austin City Limits music festival in Austin, Texas was cancelled, and on July 24, 2020, the Formula 1 U.S. Grand Prix plannedis expected to ~~be held in Austin, Texas was cancelled. The pandemic and responses to it have also caused a steep increase in unemployment in the U.S. As a result, the pandemic is having, and we believe will~~ continue to have, a significant adverse impact on our business and operations, ~~as discussed further below.~~

~~State~~particularly on the hotel and ~~local governments~~entertainment segments which were adversely impacted beginning late in ~~Texas have implemented phased reopening processes, often with reduced capacity~~the first quarter of 2020 and ~~social distancing restrictions. Beginning~~to date in ~~mid-June 2020, there have been reports of increasing numbers of new COVID-19 cases~~2021, and are expected to continue to be adversely impacted during 2021, although the impacts are anticipated to lessen through the year. For example, while the hotel has remained open throughout the ~~United States,~~pandemic, average occupancy in the first quarter of 2021 was 21 percent, compared to 50 percent in the first quarter of 2020. However, the average occupancy in the first quarter of 2021 was higher than the average occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2020, which was 13 percent. Our entertainment venues, ACL Live and ~~in particular, Texas, resulting in some governments extending or re-imposing restrictions.~~3TEN ACL Live, hosted a limited number of events with restricted capacity during first-quarter 2021. Our team continues to create innovative programming at our entertainment venues, and we currently expect to see improved results as schedules are filled and capacity increases over time. The extent to which the adverse impacts of the pandemic ~~remains complex~~continue depends on numerous evolving factors that we cannot predict. Moreover, even as travel advisories and ~~rapidly-evolving. For example, in June 2020,~~restrictions are lifted, travel and entertainment demand may remain weak for a significant length of time, and attractions and events that previously brought visitors and artists to the city of Austin ~~extended its Stay-at-Home order through August 15, 2020. On July 24, 2020,~~may not proceed or may proceed with limited capacity.

The Austin market, as well as the ~~city~~other Texas markets where we operate, continue to rebound from pandemic lows. Our residential properties have been positively impacted by home-centric trends resulting from the pandemic and from the increased attractiveness of Austin, ~~extended~~Texas as a desirable place to live. For example, we have sold almost all of our single-family lot inventory at Barton Creek at attractive prices. However, with increased demand and construction activity in our markets, we have also experienced cost increases in certain construction materials, particularly lumber. We continue to actively manage and monitor these costs. In addition, the ~~moratorium~~ongoing trend toward online shopping has accelerated during the COVID-19 pandemic. We have been adjusting to these retail trends by incorporating more multi-family residential space and more food and beverage and entertainment space into our development plans.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, we have continued to advance our land planning, engineering and permitting activities. In the first quarter of 2021, we completed site clearing on ~~evictions~~The Saint June, a 182-unit multi-family project in Barton Creek. In April 2021, we announced development plans for Holden Hills, a new residential development formerly known as Section KLO, in the Barton Creek community. The project consists of 495 acres and the community is designed to feature 475 unique residences to be developed in multiple phases with a focus on sustainability and energy conservation.

As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, and beginning in April 2020, we agreed, generally, to 90-day base rent deferrals with a majority of our retail leasing tenants, which had closed or were operating at significantly reduced capacities. Rent deferrals with our retail tenants resulted in a reduction of scheduled base rent collections of 10 percent during the period from April through ~~September 30,~~December 2020. The deferred rents are scheduled to be collected over a 12-month or 24-month period that started in January 2021. During the first quarter of 2021, we began collecting these rent deferrals and as of March 31, 2021, all of our retail tenants that were open prior to the pandemic had reopened, although some were still operating at reduced capacity. Further, despite the pandemic, we have added new tenants and all of our tenants are currently paying rent per their leases, as well as monthly payments pursuant to the base rent deferral arrangements. At our multi-family properties, we have granted rent deferral accommodations on a case-by-case basis, with no material decline in rent collections or occupancy.

Our previously disclosed transaction to sell Block 21 for $275 million was terminated by the purchaser in May 2020 as a result of the negative impact on capital markets and the overall economic environment caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Because the pandemic is unprecedented in recent history, and its severity, duration and future economic consequences are difficult to predict, we cannot predict its future impact on ~~our~~the company with any certainty.

~~Termination of Sale of Block 21~~

As previously disclosed, our transaction to sell Block 21, which contains the W Austin Hotel and the ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live entertainment venues, to Ryman Hospitality Properties, Inc. (Ryman) was terminated by Ryman on May 21, 2020. As a result of Ryman’s termination of the transaction, Ryman forfeited to us its $15.0 million of earnest money. We used $13.8 million of the earnest money to pay down our Comerica Bank credit facility and used the remaining $1.2 million for Block 21 debt service and required monthly reserves. We recorded the $15.0 million as operating income during the second quarter of 2020.

~~Impacts on our Business~~

~~As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic,~~At this time, we are ~~deferring progress~~focusing on ~~development projects, including~~taking action to maintain liquidity and control costs; closing on asset sales in our ~~previously disclosed Magnolia Place project, pending improvements in health and market conditions, but we continue to advance~~real estate operations segment; closely monitoring our land planning, engineering and permitting activities. Many of our retail leasing tenants, other than grocery and liquor stores, closed or were operating at significantly reduced capacity beginning late in the first quarter of 2020income-producing properties and continuing ~~during~~to lease up certain properties; regularly communicating with our lenders and subsequent to the second quarter of 2020. Beginning in April 2020, we agreed, generally, to 90-day base rent deferrals with a majority of these tenants. The deferred rents are expected to be collected over a 12-month or 24-month period starting in January 2021. These rent deferrals resulted in a reduction of scheduled base rent collections of 23 percent during the second quarter. As of June 30, 2020, most of our retail tenants had reopened. At our multi-family properties, we have granted rent deferral accommodations on a case-by-case basis, which during the second quarter of 2020 resulted in a reduction of scheduled rent collections of less than one percent of contractual rents, with no material decline in occupancy. In the aggregate, our second-quarter 2020 retail and multi-family rent collections were 10 percent less than scheduled rents. We also terminated one lease during second-quarter 2020 and recorded charges related to this lease totaling $1.3 million, primarily related to uncollectible rents receivable and unrealizable deferred costs. Subsequently, in July 2020, we entered into a new lease agreement with this tenant.

Our revenue, operating income and cash flow from our hotel and entertainment segments were adversely impacted in the second quarter of 2020 and are expected to continue to be adversely impacted beyond second-quarter 2020. For example, while our hotel has remained open throughout the pandemic, average occupancy in the second quarter of 2020 was 12 percent, with June having the highest occupancy in the second quarter, averaging 22 percent. The average occupancy during July 2020 was 10 percent.

We have implemented measures such as increased sanitizing, physical distancing and remote work arrangements, with the goal of protecting employees, tenants, guests, customers and suppliers. The impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on each of our segments are described below in more detail in “Results of Operations.”

~~Our current plans call for us to focus on protecting existing cash flows from our Leasing Operations properties,~~investor groups; advancing our land planning, engineering and permitting ~~activities~~activities; and evaluating refinance opportunities for our ~~development projects, ramping up operations at Block 21 as health~~larger, stabilized assets to take advantage of historic low interest rates. As previously discussed, we are also moving forward to complete the financing for The Saint June, and ~~market conditions permit~~to secure financing for our Holden Hills and ~~assessing new opportunities for future projects.~~Magnolia Place developments. Further, we are considering a refinancing of our Jones Crossing construction loan.

Impacts on our Liquidity and Capital Resources

~~On June 12, 2020, we extended the maturity date of our $60 million revolving credit facility to September 27, 2022.~~ As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had ~~$25.9~~$25.8 million available under our $60.0 million Comerica Bank credit facility, with a $150 thousand ~~of letters~~letter of credit committed against the credit facility. During the pandemic we have proactively engaged with our project lenders in connection with formulating rent deferral arrangements for our tenants, receiving waivers of and amendments to certain financial covenants for specific project loans and extending maturity dates on project loans with near-term maturities. See Note 6 for further discussion.

~~As discussed~~With respect to our Block 21 loan, Stratus Block 21, LLC, our wholly owned subsidiary that owns Block 21 (the Block 21 subsidiary) continues to not meet the quarterly debt service coverage ratio test resulting in ~~more detail below,~~a "Trigger Period," which is not a default but restricts our ability to receive cash distributions from the project. Although the Block 21 loan agreement is a non-recourse loan, we may contribute cash to our Block 21 subsidiary in order to prevent our Block 21 subsidiary from defaulting under the Block 21 loan agreement. Additionally, under our subsidiary’s hotel operating agreement, the hotel operator has and may continue to request funds from us if it reasonably determines that such funds are required in order to fund the operation of the hotel and specified reserves. Pursuant to such provisions, we contributed $6.3 million during 2020 and $5.0 million during first-quarter 2021, and based on current projections, we expect to make additional contributions of approximately $12 million through early 2022.

We project that we will be able to meet our debt service and other cash obligations for at least the next 12 ~~months, without any significant asset sales or reductions in general and administrative expenses. However, our~~months. Our projections are based on many detailed and complex underlying assumptions, including (1) that operating income for our ~~hotel and entertainment~~Block 21 businesses ~~will not improve in 2020 and~~ will gradually ramp up to a break-even point in the first half of 2021 and that Block 21 will generate sufficient cash to cover debt service by early 2022, (2) that current conditions in our leasing operations will not ~~further~~ deteriorate ~~materially.~~materially and that our anchor tenant at Lantana Place will renew its lease on terms acceptable to us, (3) that we close on projected asset sales in our real estate operations segment, including certain land sales at our mixed-use properties, on anticipated terms, and (4) that we are able to secure anticipated financing for certain development projects. No assurances can be given that the results anticipated by our projections will occur. See Note 6 and “Capital Resources and ~~Liquidity~~”Liquidity” below ~~“Risk Factors” included in Part II, Item 1A. herein and “Risk Factors” included in Part I, Item 1A. of our 2019 Form 10-K,~~ for further discussion.

We are continuing to closely monitor health and market conditions and are prepared to make further adjustments to our business strategy if and when appropriate.

See "Results of Operations" below for further discussion of our segments.

During the first six months of 2019, we received $4.6 million of proceeds related to Travis County MUD reimbursements of infrastructure costs incurred for development of Barton Creek. Of the total amount, we recorded $0.9 million as a reduction of real estate under development on the consolidated balance sheet, and $3.4 million as a reduction in real estate cost of sales and $0.3 million in other income, net in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The first six months of 2019 also included a gain on the sale of assets totaling $2.0 million, primarily related to the sale of a retail pad subject to a ground lease located in the Circle C community.

UPDATE ON PROJECT AND DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES

Current Residential Activities.

In ~~second-quarter 2020,~~first-quarter 2021, we sold two Amarra Drive Phase IIIII lots, ~~and one~~a five-acre multi-family tract of land in Amarra Drive ~~Phase III lot~~and our last remaining condominium unit at the W Austin Residences for a total of ~~$1.8~~$6.5 million. ~~During the first six months~~For further discussion, see "Results of 2020, we sold four Amarra Drive Phase II lots, seven Amarra Drive Phase III lots and two homes built on Amarra Drive Phase III lots for a total of $14.1 million.

~~In September 2019, we amended a contract previously entered into~~subsequently sold in ~~March 2018, pursuant to which we agreed to sell 2 Amarra Drive Phase II lots and 15 Amarra Drive Phase III lots to a homebuilder~~April 2021 for a total of $11.6 million (the original homebuilder contract). In January 2020, the original homebuilder contract was terminated and replaced with a similar contract with the same homebuilder in which we agreed to sell the three remaining Amarra Drive Phase III

~~Table of Contents~~

lots under the original contract as well as three new Amarra Drive Phase II lots and two new Amarra Drive Phase III lots for $5.2 million (the new homebuilder contract). In accordance with the new homebuilder contract the parties are required to close on the sale of these lots ratably before March 31, 2021. If the purchaser fails to close on the sale of the minimum number of lots by any of the specified closing dates, we may elect to terminate the homebuilder contract but would retain the related $45 thousand earnest money. In second-quarter 2020, in accordance with the contract, we sold one Amarra Drive Phase II lot and one Amarra Drive Phase III lot for a total of $1.3 million under the terms of the new homebuilder contract. During the first six months of 2020, we sold one Amarra Drive Phase II lot and two Amarra Drive Phase III lots for a total of $2.0 million under the terms of the new homebuilder contract.

As of June 30, 2020, pursuant to the new homebuilder contract, we had contracts to sell five Amarra Drive lots totaling $3.2 million, not yet recognized in revenue. Subsequent to June 30, 2020, and through August 4, 2020, we signed two new contracts for Amarra Drive lot sales for a total of $1.5 million, bringing the total contracts up to $4.7$0.6 million.

The Villas at Amarra Drive (Amarra Villas) ~~townhome~~ project is a 20-unit development in the Barton Creek community for which we completed construction of the first seven ~~townhomes~~homes during 2017 and 2018.

Current Commercial Activities.

~~During 2019, we completed construction of two retail buildings totaling 41,000~~We have constructed approximately 152,000 square feet ~~and a 103,000-square-foot H-E-B, L.P.

An 8,000-square-foot retail building was completed in July 2020,~~HEB grocery store, and we have signed ground leases on two of the retail pads. Three pad sites remain available for lease. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had signed leases for approximately 9085 percent of the retail space, including the HEB grocery store. We continue to advance the potential multi-family project at Kingwood Place, which is currently planned for ~~261~~approximately 275 units.

In March 2019, we finalized the lease for the HEB store at New Caney, an HEB-anchored, mixed-use development in New Caney, Texas, and acquired HEB's interest in the partnership for approximately $5 million. We currently do not anticipate commencing construction on the New Caney project prior to 2021.

Lantana Place is a partially developed, mixed-use development project located in southwest Austin. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had signed leases for approximately 4085 percent of the retail space ~~after our lease with~~in the first phase, including the anchor tenant, Moviehouse & Eatery (Moviehouse)~~, was terminated in June 2020.

We are currently in discussions with Moviehouse to extend this lease. We also have a ground lease for an AC Hotel by Marriott. Construction of the hotel began in May 2019 and is expected to be completed in ~~January~~June 2021. We rezoned a portion of the Lantana property for a potential multi-family development of up to ~~350~~320 units.

As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had signed leases for ~~approximately 95 percent~~substantially all of the retail space at the first phase of Jones Crossing, an HEB-anchored, mixed-use development located in College Station, Texas, and approximately 70 percent of the retail space at West Killeen Market, our retail project located in Killeen, Texas, shadow-anchored by an adjacent HEB grocery store. Block 21's Class A leasable office space was approximately 60 percent leased as of March 31, 2021, including 9,000 square feet occupied by our corporate office, and the retail space was substantially fully leased as of March 31, 2021. Currently, we are considering a refinance of the Jones Crossing construction loan to improve loan terms and take advantage of the low-interest rate market.

Projects in Planning.

We are deferring progress on our development projects, including the previously disclosed first phase of development of Magnolia Place, a mixed-use project in Magnolia, Texas, currently planned for 133,605 square feet of commercial space; 7 pad sites; 2 hotel sites; and 96 single-family lots and 588 multi-family units, pending improvements in health and market conditions.

We are advancing the planning and permitting process for development of future phases of Barton Creek, including Holden Hills, a new residential development formerly known as Section KLO, and commercial and multi-family Section N. ~~We redesigned Section KLO using~~

Holden Hills, our final residential development within the Barton Creek community, consists of 495 acres and the community is designed to feature 475 unique residences to be developed in multiple phases with a ~~combination of single family lots~~focus on sustainability and ~~residential condominium lots, which is expected to increase our density from 154 to approximately 420 home sites.~~energy conservation. The city of Austin and Travis County approved initial subdivision permit applications for ~~Section KLO~~Holden Hills in October ~~2019. The~~2019 and the engineering for roads and utilities for the initial ~~phases~~phase has been completed. We anticipate securing final permits in the second or third quarter of ~~Section KLO is~~2021. We currently expect to complete site work for phase one, including the construction of road, utility, drainage and other required infrastructure, approximately 17 months from the issuance of the final permits. Accordingly, our projections anticipate that we would begin sales in ~~process.~~ Holden Hills in late 2022 or early 2023. Phases one and two of the Holden Hills development plan encompass the development of the home sites. We may sell the developed home sites, or may elect to build and sell, or build and lease, homes on some or all of the home sites, depending on financing and market conditions.

Using a conceptual approach similar to that used for ~~Section KLO,~~Holden Hills, we are also evaluating a redesign of Section N, our approximately ~~570 acre~~570-acre tract located along Southwest Parkway in the southern portion of the Barton Creek community. If successful, this new project would be designed as a dense, mid-rise, mixed-use project surrounded by an extensive greenspace amenity, ~~and result~~resulting in ana significant potential increase in ~~potential densities.~~ development density, as compared to our prior plans.

These potential development projects require extensive additional permitting and will be dependent on market ~~conditions.~~conditions and financing. Because of the nature and cost of the approval and development process and uncertainty regarding market demand for a particular use, there is uncertainty regarding the nature of the final development plans and whether we will be able to successfully execute the plans. In addition, our development plans for ~~Section KLO~~Holden Hills and Section N will require significant capital, which we ~~may~~currently intend to pursue through bank debt ~~and/or~~and third-party equity ~~financings, joint ventures, commercial, partner or other~~capital arrangements.

We are planning to proceed, subject to financing, with the first phase of development of Magnolia Place, a mixed-use project in Magnolia, Texas, currently planned for 18,410 square feet of commercial space, 9 pad sites, 194 single-family lots and 495 multi-family units. Magnolia Place will be shadow-anchored by a 95,000-square-foot HEB grocery store to be constructed by HEB on an adjoining 18-acre site owned by HEB, with a targeted opening date in May 2022. We have targeted the commencement of construction on Magnolia Place for June 2021, and are in the process of negotiating financing and terms with lenders and HEB. We are also evaluating a sale of the land for the single-family residential component of Magnolia Place.

In March 2021, we completed site clearing on The Saint June, a 182-unit multi-family project within the Amarra subdivision. We expect to begin project construction in the second quarter of 2021, subject to completion of financing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

We are continually evaluating the development and sale potential of our properties and will continue to consider opportunities to enter into transactions involving our properties, including possible ~~sales,~~ joint ventures or other arrangements. As a result, and because of the COVID-19 pandemic and numerous other factors affecting our business activities as described herein and in our ~~2019~~2020 Form 10-K, our past operating results are not necessarily indicative of our future results. We use operating income or loss to measure the performance of each operating segment. Corporate, eliminations and other includes consolidated general and administrative expenses, which primarily consist of employee ~~salaries~~compensation and other costs.

Real Estate Operations

~~COVID-19 Pandemic Impact~~

The pandemic is negatively affecting our real estate operations. We are deferring progress on development projects as we continue to monitor developments in the market, but we continue to advance our land planning, engineering and permitting activities. We cannot predict when we will be able to recommence the active pursuit of our development projects. For further discussion, see Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors."

~~Real Estate Revenues.~~The decrease in revenues in ~~second-quarter 2020,~~first-quarter 2021, compared to ~~second-quarter 2019,~~first-quarter 2020, primarily reflects a decrease in the number of ~~lot sales~~lots and ~~the sale of an Amarra Villas townhome in second-quarter 2019.

First-quarter 2020 included the ~~first six months~~sale of ~~2020.

Leasing Operations

~~COVID-19 Pandemic Impact~~

The pandemic is negatively affecting our leasing operations, primarily at our retail properties. Tenants at our retail locations are diverse and include grocery and liquor stores, which have remained open and have paid rent owed to-date, and restaurants, healthcare services, fitness centers, a movie house and other retail products and services, many of which were closed or operating at significantly reduced capacity beginning late in the first quarter of 2020 and continuing during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2020. Beginning in April 2020, Stratus agreed, generally, to 90-day base rent deferrals with a majority of these tenants. The deferred rents are expected to be collected over a 12-month or 24-month period starting in January 2021. These rent deferrals resulted in a reduction of scheduled base rent collections of 23 percent during the second quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, most of our retail tenants had reopened.

At our multi-family properties, we have granted rent deferral accommodations on a case-by-case basis, which during the second-quarter of 2020 resulted in a reduction of scheduled rent collections of less than one percent of contractual rents, with no material decline in occupancy. We will continue to consider rent deferral accommodations on a case-by-case basis. In the aggregate, our second-quarter 2020 retail and multi-family rent collections were 10 percent less than scheduled rents.

As a result of these rent deferral arrangements, and as a result of some other tenants not paying rent, our rental collections in our leasing segment declined significantly in the second quarter of 2020. We cannot assure you that our tenants will recommence rental payments in accordance with our agreements when the deferral period ends nor whether tenants will request additional accommodations or be willing or able to meet future lease obligations. For further discussion, see Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors."

The decrease in rental revenue in ~~the 2020 periods,~~first-quarter 2021, compared with ~~the 2019 periods,~~first-quarter 2020 primarily reflects the ~~commencement~~sale of ~~new leases at~~The Saint Mary. The Saint Mary ~~Kingwood Place and The Santal.~~had rental revenue of $0.1 million in first-quarter 2021 prior to the sale compared to $0.7 million in first-quarter 2020.

Rental Cost of Sales and Depreciation. Rental cost of sales and depreciation expense ~~increased~~decreased in ~~the 2020 periods,~~first-quarter 2021, compared with ~~the 2019 periods,~~first-quarter 2020, primarily as a result of the ~~completion~~sale of ~~construction and the start of leasing operations at~~ The Saint Mary and Kingwood Place. During the second-quarter of 2020, our lease with Moviehouse, our anchor tenant at Lantana Place, was terminated and we charged $1.3 million to cost of sales to write off uncollectible rents receivable and unrealizable deferred costs associated with this lease. Subsequently, in July 2020, we entered into a new lease agreement with Moviehouse.Mary.

~~Loss (Gain)~~Gain on Sale of Assets. In January ~~2019,~~2021, our subsidiary sold The Saint Mary for $60.0 million. After closing costs and payment of the outstanding construction loan, the sale generated net proceeds of approximately $34 million. After establishing a reserve for remaining costs of the partnership, we ~~sold~~received $20.9 million from the subsidiary in connection with the sale and $12.9 million of the net proceeds were distributed to the noncontrolling interest owners. We recognized a ~~retail pad subject to a ground lease located~~gain on the sale of $22.9 million ($16.2 million net of noncontrolling interests) in the ~~Circle C community for $3.2 million. We used a portion~~first quarter of the proceeds from the sale to repay $2.5 million of our Comerica Bank credit facility borrowings and, after adjustments recorded in second-quarter 2019, recorded a gain of $2.0 million for the first six months of 2019.2021.

Hotel

~~COVID-19 Pandemic Impact~~

The pandemic has had, and we believe will continue to have, a significant adverse impact on the hospitality industry, as it has resulted in dramatically curtailed business and leisure travel and caused cancellations of events or rescheduling of events until later in 2020 and beyond. Accordingly, the pandemic has resulted in a significant decrease in revenue and expected revenue from our hotel rooms, conference facilities and hotel amenities. For example, while our hotel has remained open throughout the pandemic, average occupancy in the second quarter of 2020 was 12 percent, with June having the highest occupancy in the second quarter, averaging 22 percent. The average occupancy during July 2020 was 10 percent. As a result of the pandemic, hotel revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, was significantly lower than in the prior-year periods and hotel revenue for the third quarter of 2020 will be significantly lower than hotel revenue in the prior-year quarter. We incurred a significant operating loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and expect to incur significant operating losses in the segment during the third quarter of 2020. We are working with the hotel operator on plans to gradually ramp up hotel operations to a break-even point in the first half of 2021, health and market conditions permitting.

The pandemic is expected to continue to negatively affect our hotel business, and the extent to which such adverse impacts continue depends on numerous evolving factors that we cannot predict. Moreover, even as travel advisories and restrictions are lifted, travel demand may remain weak for a significant length of time and attractions and events that previously brought visitors to the city of Austin may not proceed or may proceed with limited capacity. We cannot predict if or when our hotel will return to pre-pandemic demand or pricing. For further discussion, see Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors."

Hotel Revenue. Hotel revenue primarily includes revenue from W Austin Hotel room reservations and food and beverage sales. The decrease in Hotel revenues in ~~the 2020 periods,~~first-quarter 2021, compared to ~~the 2019 periods,~~first-quarter 2020, is primarily a result of lower room reservations and food and beverage sales as a result of the COVID-19 ~~pandemic.~~pandemic, which had a less significant impact in the first quarter of 2020 prior to the pandemic being declared in mid-March 2020. The hotel's average occupancy in the first quarter of 2021 was 21 percent, compared to 50 percent in the first quarter of 2020. Revenue per available room (RevPAR), which is calculated by dividing total room revenue by the average total rooms available, was ~~$29~~$51 in ~~second-quarter 2020 and $89 for the first six months of 2020,~~first-quarter 2021, compared with ~~$242~~$150 in ~~second-quarter 2019 and $240 for the first six months of 2019.~~first-quarter 2020.

Our hotel operations are beginning to show improvement compared to during the peak of the pandemic in 2020. The average occupancy in the first quarter of 2021 of 21 percent was higher than the average occupancy in the fourth quarter of 2020, which was 13 percent. In addition, RevPAR of $51 for first-quarter 2021 was up from $31 in fourth-quarter 2020.

Hotel Cost of Sales. The decrease in Hotel cost of sales, excluding depreciation, in ~~the 2020 periods,~~first-quarter 2021, compared to ~~the 2019 periods,~~first-quarter 2020, is primarily a result of lower room reservations and food and beverage sales. The ~~increase~~decrease in depreciation ~~during the first six months of 2020,~~in first-quarter 2021, compared to ~~the first six months of 2019,~~first-quarter 2020, is primarily because of ~~a$202~~a $202 thousand adjustment made in first-quarter 2020 for the period in December 2019 when the hotel was held for sale and, therefore, not depreciated.

~~Hotel Renovation.~~ We are considering proceeding with a modest renovation of the hotel guest rooms and public spaces, subject to various approvals, including from our lender, and coordination with the hotel operator. We expect to use approximately $7 million of reserves previously set aside for hotel improvements under our agreement with the hotel operator and reflected in restricted cash on our balance sheet.

Entertainment

~~COVID-19 Pandemic Impact~~

The pandemic has had, and we believe will continue to have, a significant adverse impact on the entertainment industry and our entertainment operations. Our entertainment venue, ACL Live, remains closed. Many events previously scheduled during the remainder of 2020 have been rescheduled and some have been cancelled. As a result of the pandemic, our Entertainment revenue for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 was

~~Table of Contents~~

significantly lower than in the prior-year periods and entertainment revenue for the third quarter of 2020 will be significantly lower than in the prior-year period. It is also unclear whether and to what extent pandemic-related concerns will continue to impact the use of and/or demand for our entertainment venues, even as government restrictions are modified or lifted. We have several events scheduled at our venues later in the year, but we expect that most, if not all, of our remaining events will be cancelled or rescheduled unless health conditions improve. Our scheduled programs will occur only to the extent health and safety conditions, and regulations, permit. We incurred a significant operating loss in the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, and expect to incur operating losses in the segment during the third quarter of 2020. For further discussion, see Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors."

Entertainment Revenue. Entertainment revenue primarily reflects the results of operations for ACL Live, including ticket sales, revenue from private events, sponsorships, personal seat license sales and suite sales, and sales of concessions and merchandise. Entertainment revenue also reflects revenues associated with events hosted at 3TEN ACL Live. Revenues from the Entertainment segment vary from period to period as a result of factors such as the price of tickets and number of tickets sold, as well as the number and type of events hosted at ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live. Entertainment revenues decreased in ~~the 2020 periods,~~first-quarter 2021, compared to ~~the 2019 periods,~~first-quarter 2020, which primarily ~~as a result of a decrease in the number of events hosted at ACL Live and 3TEN ACL Live, as many scheduled events in the first six months of 2020 were cancelled or rescheduled as a result of~~reflects the COVID-19 pandemic ~~including all~~preventing a full show schedule, with reduced capacity at events ~~scheduled in the second quarter of 2020 for ACL Live~~that could be held.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

Volatility in the real estate market, including the markets in which we operate, can impact the timing of and proceeds received from sales of our properties, which may cause uneven cash flows from period to period. Our cash flows have also been, and will continue for some time to be, adversely affected by the pandemic, as discussed throughout this report. However, we believe that the unique nature and location of our assets will provide us positive cash flows over time.

During the first six months of 2019, our operating cash flows included MUD reimbursements totaling $4.6 million related to infrastructure costs incurred in Barton Creek (of which $3.7 million increased net income before taxes for the period and $0.9 million reduced purchases and development of real estate properties).

Investing Activities. Cash ~~used in~~provided by (used in) investing activities totaled ~~$5.1~~$58.2 million ~~for the first six months of 2020~~in first-quarter 2021 and ~~$47.2~~$(2.6) million ~~for the first six months of 2019.~~in first-quarter 2020.

In first-quarter 2021, we received proceeds, net of closing costs, from the first six months of 2019, primarily related to development of the Kingwood Place and The Saint Mary projects. Capital expenditures were lower in the first six months of 2020, compared to the first six months of 2019, primarily as a result of the completionsale of The Saint Mary ~~and Kingwood Place in late 2019 and the deferral~~ of ~~progress on development projects because of the COVID-19 pandemic.~~

During the first six months of 2019, we recorded a purchase of noncontrolling interest totaling $4.6 million as a result of our acquisition of HEB's interests in the New Caney partnership in which we and HEB collectively purchased a tract of land for the future development of an HEB-anchored mixed-use project in New Caney, Texas.$59.5 million.

Credit Facility, Other Financing Arrangements and Liquidity Outlook

At ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, the total principal amount of our outstanding debt was ~~$366.6~~$341.2 million, compared with ~~$369.2~~$353.2 million at December 31, ~~2019.~~2020. We had borrowings of ~~$34.0~~$34.1 million under ~~the~~our $60.0 million Comerica Bank revolving credit facility, ~~$25.9~~$25.8 million of which was available at ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, net of a $150 thousand ~~of letters~~letter of credit committed against the credit facility.

than 50 percent. The Santal loan, the West Killeen Market construction loan, the Jones Crossing construction loan, and the Lantana Place construction loan each include a financial covenant requiring the applicable Stratus subsidiary to maintain a debt service coverage ratio as defined in each agreement. ~~In addition,~~As of March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of our financial covenants; however, for the last three quarters of 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, our Block 21 subsidiary did not pass the debt service coverage ratio financial test under the Block 21 loan, ~~agreements~~which, though not a financial covenant, caused the Block 21 subsidiary to enter into a “Trigger Period” as discussed below.

Stratus’ and its subsidiaries’ debt arrangements contain significant limitations that may restrict Stratus’ and its subsidiaries’ ability to, among other things: borrow additional money or issue guarantees; pay dividends, repurchase equity or make other distributions to equityholders; make loans, advances or other investments; create liens on assets; sell assets; enter into sale-leaseback transactions; enter into transactions with affiliates; permit a change of control; sell all or substantially all of its assets; and engage in mergers, consolidations or other business combinations.

The Block 21 loan agreement secured by the Block 21 assets contains financial ~~covenant requirements~~tests that we must meet in order to avoid a “Trigger Period” (as described below). Specifically, we must maintain (i) a net worth in excess of $125 million and (ii) liquid assets having a market value of ~~not less than~~at least $10 million, ~~and (iii)~~each as defined in the Block 21 loan agreement. Additionally, our Block 21 subsidiary must maintain a trailing-12-month debt service coverage ratio, tested quarterly, ~~each~~ as defined in the Block 21 loan agreement.

2022. As of ~~June 30, 2020,~~March 31, 2021, we had $6.0 million of liabilities for deferred income and deposits that primarily related to ticket and sponsorship presales at our venues. We have refunded amounts related to events that have been cancelled, and we may refund additional amounts if more events are cancelled in the future.

We project that we will be able to meet our debt service and other cash obligations for at least the next 12 months, without any significant asset sales or reductions in general and administrative expenses. Prior to the start of the pandemic, our retail and multi-family projects were in advanced lease-up phases, and we expect that they will generate sufficient revenue to pay debt service. We have no significant principal maturities of debt during the remainder of 2020. In addition, we have no material commitments for capital expenditures and have deferred progress on development projects as we continue to evaluate market conditions.months. Our projections are based on many detailed and complex underlying assumptions, including (1) that operating income for our ~~hotel and entertainment~~Block 21 businesses ~~will not improve in 2020 and~~ will gradually ramp up to a break-even point in the first half of 2021 and that Block 21 will generate sufficient cash to cover debt service by early 2022, (2) that current conditions in our leasing operations will not ~~further~~ deteriorate ~~materially.~~materially and that our anchor tenant at Lantana Place will renew its lease on terms acceptable to us, (3) that we close on projected asset sales in our real estate operations segment, including certain land sales at our mixed-use properties, on anticipated terms, and (4) that we are able to secure anticipated financing for certain development projects. No assurances can be given that the results anticipated by our projections will occur.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

We are supplementing the risk factors described under “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K with the additional risk factor set forth below, which should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and other disclosures in this report and in our 2019 Form 10-K.

The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant adverse impact on our business, financial condition, results of operation and liquidity, such impact worsened during and subsequent to the second quarter of 2020, and could continue to last with unknown severity and for an unknown period of time.

OnMarch 11, 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a pandemic, and on March 13, 2020, the U.S. declared a national emergency with respect to COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic is complex and rapidly evolving, with federal, state and local governments, public institutions and other organizations imposing or recommending, and businesses and individuals implementing, restrictions on activities in order to combat its spread. These restrictions have included stay-at-home orders, bans on travel, limitations on the size of gatherings, limitations on the operations of businesses deemed non-essential, closures of work facilities, schools, public buildings and businesses, cancellation of events (including entertainment events, conferences and meetings), quarantines and social distancing measures. State and local governments have implemented phased reopening processes, often with reduced capacity and social distancing restrictions. Beginning in mid-June, there have been reports of increasing numbers of new COVID-19 cases throughout the United States, and in particular, Texas, resulting in some governments extending or re-imposing restrictions. In June, the city of Austin extended its Stay-at-Home order through August 15, 2020..

The pandemic has caused a sharp global slowdown of economic activity resulting in a recession, a steep increase in unemployment in the U.S. and significant volatility and disruption of financial markets. The pandemic had a significant adverse impact on our company in the first and second quarters of 2020 and is expected to continue to adversely impact our company beyond second-quarter 2020. Because the pandemic is unprecedented in recent history, and its severity, duration and future economic consequences are difficult to predict, we cannot predict its future impact on our company with any certainty. The COVID-19 pandemic has subjected our business, financial condition, results of operations, and liquidity to a number of risks, including, but not limited to, those discussed below:

•~~Risks Related~~There have been no material changes to our ~~Liquidity~~. Although we project that we will be able to meet our debt service and other cash obligations for at least the next 12 months, our projections depend on many detailed and complex underlying assumptions, including that our hotel and entertainment businesses will not improve in 2020 and will gradually ramp up to a break-even point in the first half of 2021, and that current conditions in our leasing operations will not further deteriorate materially. No assurances can be given that the results anticipated by our projections will occur. If we later determine that we will likely not be able to meet our debt service and other cash obligations, or will likely not be able to meet covenants under our debt agreements, we may seek further amendments to, waivers of provisions of, or restructuring of our debt agreements, seek to sell assets, seek to reduce operating expenses, and/or seek to raise additional capital, any or all of which actions may not be successful. If we cannot meet our debt service obligations, or otherwise default under a debt agreement, our lenders may declare all amounts outstanding under

~~Table of Contents~~

~~the loans due and payable, seek to foreclose on the collateral securing the loans and/or seek to force us into involuntary bankruptcy proceedings.~~

•~~Risks Related to our Hotel Operations~~. The pandemic has had, and we believe will continue to have, a significant adverse impact on the hospitality industry, as it has resulted in dramatically curtailed business and leisure travel and caused cancellations of events or rescheduling of events until later in 2020 and beyond. Accordingly, the pandemic has resulted in a significant decrease in revenue and expected revenue from our hotel rooms, conference facilities and hotel amenities, as discussed throughout this report. The pandemic is expected to continue to negatively affect our hotel business, and the extent to which such adverse impacts continue depends on numerous evolving factors that we cannot predict. Moreover, even as travel advisories and restrictions are lifted, travel demand may remain weak for a significant length of time and attractions and events that previously brought visitors to the city of Austin may not proceed or may proceed with limited capacity. We cannot predict if or when our hotel will return to pre-pandemic demand or pricing.

•~~Risks Related to our Entertainment Operations~~. The pandemic has had, and we believe will continue to have, a significant adverse impact on the entertainment industry and our entertainment operations, as discussed throughout this report. It is unclear whether and to what extent pandemic-related concerns will impact the use of and/or demand for our entertainment venues as government restrictions are modified or lifted. Prolonged repercussions from the pandemic and government-mandated restrictions or other factors could continue to negatively affect our entertainment venues and the financial performance of our entertainment operations, and the extent to which such adverse impacts continue depends on numerous evolving factors that we cannot predict, including if or when our entertainment operations will return to pre-pandemic demand.

•~~Risks Related to our Leasing Operations~~. The COVID-19 pandemic is negatively affecting our retail and multi-family leasing operations, as discussed throughout this report. As a result of the pandemic and the related economic downturn, our retail tenants have requested, and may continue to request, additional rent deferrals, rent abatement, lease renegotiations or early termination of their leases as well as may be forced to temporarily or permanently close or declare bankruptcy, which could further reduce our cash flows. Our multi-family tenants may request future rent deferrals. In addition, state, local or industry-initiated efforts, such as tenant rent freezes or suspension of a landlord’s ability to enforce evictions, may also affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent. Further, our ability to renew leases or re-lease vacant spaces on favorable terms, or at all, is constrained in the current environment, which may worsen.

•~~Risks Related to our Real Estate and Development Operations~~. The pandemic has negatively affected our real estate and development operations, as discussed throughout this report. We may be unable to sell assets in the current economic environment at a price that we find acceptable or at all. We have deferred progress on our development projects as we continue to monitor developments in the market. We cannot predict when we will be able to recommence the active pursuit of our development projects. Also, the economic downturn caused by the pandemic could diminish the demand for and value of our properties for an indeterminate period. The pandemic has also constrained the availability of capital to companies in the real estate industry, and we can provide no assurances that, once we resume our development plans, we will be able to access the required capital at a reasonable cost. Prolonged inability to pursue our development plans will have a negative effect on our business and future profits.

These and other impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our 2019 Form 10-K. While we believe the risk factors ~~above describe current material risks to our company related to~~during the COVID-19 pandemic, there are other risks that we currently believe will not have a material adverse impact on us that may do so. In addition, there are other risks to our company, not necessarily related to the pandemic, which may adversely affect our business.three-month period ended March 31, 2021. For additional ~~discussion,~~information on risk factors, refer to Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors” ~~in the 2019~~of our 2020 Form 10-K.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.

There were no unregistered sales of equity securities and no repurchases of common stock during the three months ended ~~June 30, 2020.~~March 31, 2021.
